The patches deal with three separate issues, all rolled up into one
tarball:
Currently, arrayfit always appends .arr.gz onto the name passed on the
command line, meaning that only tile names can be passed. The patch strips
off .arr or .arr.gz if present prior to it's appending, meaning that tile
names or filenames can be passed on the command line.
The interface to the OSGB36 conversion functions is cleaned up a lot. I
can't believe I originally wrote it in such an ugly manner!
A lot of console output (> 5000 lines per tile) is removed from the final
construction process, meaning that the output left can actually be read.
The attached patches significantly quieten the output from genapts, which in it's current form resembles the universe flying by on a bad hair day Remember chaps, console output on Windows is slooowwwwww... Normal service may be resumed using --verbose or -v. I've also added a short help, obtainable with --help or -h. I've also added a couple of extra options, --airport=abcd for just generating a particular airport, and --tile=<[we]xxx[ns]xx> for generating a 1x1 degree tile. We currently have --chunk=<[we]xxx[ns]xx> for generating a 10x10 degree chunk, and I'd like to eventually add --tile as an option to all tools that take --chunk.
This one adds the tile option to
tgvpf.

Some small code changes for IRIX.
It looks like the program gets into an infinite loop while findind
edges for a contour (inserting the same edge over and over until the
program runs out of memory). i am not quite sure i understand the code
but the following patch solved the problem for me:
Before:
- if it's a concrete taxiway over 150 ft wide, assume it's an apron
(confusingly called "tiedown")
After:
- if it's an asphalt or concrete taxiway over 150 ft wide, *or* if
it has no blue taxiway lights, assume it's an apron
markings.
- Fix a couple very small alignment/sizing problems.
- Use a different texture (similar to rest) before aim points on nonprecision
runways. This will potentially make things easier if we want to add
skid marks to the textures.
- Fix a couple bugs (el stupido) in precision marking generation.
Originally I through together a really cheap/ugly hack for estimating
distance between two points, but that really started to stink when throwing
a lot of new situations at it. So now I calculate spherical distances between
two points in meters which is plenty accurate for these purposes. This gives
us much better control over smoothing. For instance we could establish a
maximum 10% grade for all roads if we wanted to.
This could cause tile edges to no longer match up becuase this routine would
adjust node elevations which it shouldn't have. Hopefully this change fixes
the problem.
on the command line with the --terrain= option. You can specify as many as you like. Directories specified on the command line will take precidence over
the default directories and the directories will be searched in the order
specified.
in Robin's data.)
- Code adjusted to work with slightly modified input data format (part of
our move away from metakit.)
- Eliminate some debugging output.
Attached are patches to Terragear to enable it to compile out of the box on
Cygwin (once all the relavent libraries have been compiled). Specifically
they fix a conflict with another version of min/max somewhere on the
system.
