Replaced deprecated method which was causing console warnings.
Fixed compatibility issues with WME Color Highlights. Both now play nicely.
Added option to choose dashed highlight.
Added option to choose either orange or magenta for highlight colour.
Other code cleanup bits and pieces.
As with most scripts I donāt have the time to test thoroughly so please post any issues here (I donāt guarantee that I will be able to do anything about it though :mrgreen: ).
Added option to turn layer off in Layers menu in āScriptsā group.
Road types in left side panel reflect locale, eg. if you use the en-GB browser it should say āParking Roadsā instead of āParking Lot Roads.ā
Iām bringing this question here from Discord as itāll help me keep track of it.
The list of abbreviations has changed significantly since SNC was first built. I intend to bring it up to date to match the current list however there are some that are causing problems with RPPs. Discussion here.
It has been suggested that we donāt highlight the problematic ones until the problems are sorted but SNC works by highlighting any segment that does not match a list of given abbreviations. I propose having SNC accept any of the ones under discussion as valid (ie. not highlight them) until the current issues are sorted out, at which point I will update it.
Another issue is that of service roads. I seem to recall a discussion concluding that either āBlah St Service Rdā or āBlah St Service Roadā is acceptable. Should SNC accept both?
Highlighting service roads, etc. isnāt a problem, personally. The script is a tool to draw my attention to 95% of problems, it wonāt replace my editing discretion, and I know what I need to ignore. Maybe you could add some advice of what to ignore into the āsettings pageā though?
Thanks again, Big K, for maintaining this script! Itās incredibly valuable to me as I find the highlighter tool extension on RSel unreliable.
And darn, there are some good points I didnāt consider either.
Settings now persist after switching to Event mode and back.
The valid abbreviations have been updated to match the wiki.
I have changed the Ignore list to include the proposed abbreviations listed at the discussion above ā with the exception of āTerā ā so that you can choose to include them or not.
And I just remembered I forgot to do anything about service roads so Iāll include that in the next update.
Let me know if you find anything that needs to be added.
Currently if a street starts with "The " it will not trigger as being invalid. This is to allow names such as āThe Corsoā and āThe Esplanadeā, etc.
However it will highlight if the word āTheā is not at the start of the name. This results in a valid name such as āC312 - The Circuitā being highlighted. To address this I propose changing it so that the word āTheā followed by any other word anywhere in the name will not trigger the highlight. Can anyone see a problem with this approach?
Looks like thereās a bug in the script as it is still highlighting unnamed parking lot, private, etc despite the setting set to FALSE. Iāve reported it to the dev.
Can this be rolled back as there are ramp names which are also affected. I would suggest his change is causing way more issues than the attempt to fix the Saint problem.
Iām a bit confused by this Saint/Street thing. The way SNC works ā and itās been this way from the start ā is it will allow āStā at the end of the string. If āStā appears anywhere else in the string it will highlight.
It is the opposite for āSt.ā It will allow āSt.ā at the start and middle but not at the end. This has worked with the way TTS was set up because TTS would pronounce āStā as āStreetā and āSt.ā as āSaint.ā
My plan was to wait until all this Saint/Street thing was sorted out and then make any adjustments if necessary. If anyone has an example of where it is highlighting incorrectly post a permalink and Iāll check it out.
[Edit] Some confusion might be coming from the fact that āService Roadā is treated as a valid extension such as āEastā, āWestā etc and is trimmed off before the test is made. So āMurray St Service Roadā would be treated as if it were āMurray Stā
Came on here to try & find out why my Waze has recently started calling local streets āSaintā instead of street. I guess itās a problem for others too.
Iām finding it to be inconsistent - some streets are fine, but the next street is not. On a drive yesterday I went from a Street, into a Saint, then another Saint and back into a Street.
