Greasemonkey script for easy river drawing

by **aeytom** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 12:20 pm

Hi,

here is my first greasemonkey script for creating river landmarks with papyrus. The script converts the geometry of a newly created street to a polygon for a river landmark.

Mini howto:

install this script as greasemonkey script or chrome extension
draw a new street but do not save the street
add and apply a street name to define the rivers name and the the width of the river
Example: "20m Spree" creates a 20 meters width river named "Spree"
Select the helper street
Click the "Street to river" button
Delete the helper street
Edit the new landmark as you like

Examples for rivers created by the script:

Spree: https://world.waze.com/cartouche/?zoom= ... FTTTFTTTTT
Nottekanal: https://world.waze.com/cartouche/?zoom= ... FTTTFTTTTT

To install in google chrome:

Get the script from http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/122049

The description can also be found here: http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Comm ... t_to_river

have fun

Do not try to create too long landmarks, it creates "general error". It is not a script error...

I don't get the street-to-river button, or I don't see it. Where should it be?

I also found it difficult. The upper left corner.

Hi,

I have updated the code in the original post.

What is fixed:
* Division by zero should not happen
* Button is moved at the end of the properties panel
* Scaling using the street name prefix is working correct now

This sounds interesting, I will have to install it and give it a go!

This tool might be useable to make railroads visible in the client too. I'll try this tonight (not sure if there is an appropriate landmark type).
