1.4.4.1
Fix: Clear road geometry not enabled on roundabout segment
Update: U-turns on dead-ends are not shown anymore
Fix: Permalink issue when Toolbox is used at the same time of some other scripts
Waze disabled it in this newest version of WME, I imagine the update to toolbox is to comply with the changes to WME. If you look at the thread about the new WME version, Waze said they are also working on correcting the routing issues they caused. They also said if it isn’t successful, they may rollback this change and show the arrows again.
1.4.4.2
Update: Traffic-lock highlight removed to match WME update
New: Different highlight when automatic lock (traffic) is set
New: Toolbox warnings displayed with a different color
New: Clear road geometry now possible on roundabout segment
Just another thought that would resolve the earlier discussion on Rank 1 highlights.
Would it be possible to highlight segments where there is an automatic lock that is different from what the segment is manually locked at? (perhaps one colour for when it’s locked higher and a different one for when it’s locked lower)?
There are 2 attributes for a segment: “rank” and “lockRank”
The “lockRank” attribute is the one you can change, the “rank” attribute is computed by the traffic algorithm
If the “lockRank” attribute is set, then WME shows this value
If the “lockRank” attribute is null, then WME shows “Automatic” + the “rank” attribute value
When you set “Automatic”, the “lockRank” attribute becomes null
Here is one of the changes you’ll see in the next Toolbox release:
Update: Segment list panel: "Traffic Lock Level" removed, "Automatic Lock", "Lock > Traffic Lock" and "Lock < Traffic Lock" added
Like that:
Now about highlight… Not really sure yet about what to do. I can highlight segments that have null lockRank (automatic), I’m not sure it’s very usefull.
About highlight… You could add two new highlight color/icon options.
New highlight for any roads “Lock > Traffic Lock”
New highlight for any roads “Lock > Traffic Lock”
Change current highlights/icons for the lock of a segment to display for the “rank”, unless " lockRank" is set. If “lock rank” is set, display based on that
This can be accomplished in different ways, I can think of two options at the moment.
Have three sets of icons for each lock rank. One for standard and one for when it’s lower than automatic (if selected in options), one for higher than automatic (if selected in options). If not selected in options the standard icon displays for the segment locks.
A color sharing behind (like an aura) the lock icon, or over the segment when rank >/< than lockRank (when selected in options)
Just my two cents and suggestions. Feel free to use, or discard.
1.4.4.3
Update: Segment list panel: "Traffic Lock Level" removed, "No Lock (auto)", "Lock = Traffic Lock", "Lock > Traffic Lock" and "Lock < Traffic Lock" added
Update: better highlight of segments with automatic lock
New: Highlight of manual locks (greater, equal, less than automatic lock)
New: [L5] Auto remove toll attribute on non freeway/ramp segments
Ok maybe this shouldn’t be used in some countries. In France, most of non freeway roads are free, and there a lot of toll segments that shouldn’t, like parkings, tunnels, etc.
I don’t have any objection to this being an L6-only feature, but I think it could be useful for repairing cases of points farming, where a rogue editor will select a large group of segments, toggle on the Toll property, save, and then (often unsuccessfully) revert them all. Another way to limit collateral damage with a feature like this would be to make it only function at certain zoom levels.
