I see. I thought you were saying that the severity parameter wouldn't work if WME was in the incorrect language for the pack — but in my case, English is the correct language for my pack. So it appears that this is a bug for any English Validator custom checks pack, then.

MGODLEW wrote:I'd like to make a request for Validator. In Pennsylvania we have a lot of roads that have not had their primary names updated since the base map. For the example here the roads primary name is currently "T493" however the actual primary name is in the alternative "Hanny Beaver Rd" Is there a way you can color roads that are a letter & number? I'm no programmer or script writer but my guess is the script would be something like <If street name = character (T)(integer)(integer)(integer) then color = Lime Green> I this possible to add? If not an always on feature then something that can be turned off and on.
Is it always T followed by 3 digits and that's it?

If so, set this in your custom check:
custom template:

Code: Select all

${street}
custom regexp:

Code: Select all

/^T[0-9]{3}$/
That will report every instance where the road name is "T###" exactly, nothing before or after, not even a space. (It seems to be working for this example.)

If you remove only the "$" it will report everything that starts with "T###" regardless of what follows, if you remove only the "^" it will report everything that ends with "T###" regardless of what comes before, and if you remove both ^ and $ it will report everything that has T### in it at all.

Right, I'm not even sure it should be offered. Might encourage editors to change a category erroneously. For example, a cigar shop – doesn't really fit anywhere besides the general "Shopping and services".

Sorry if I'm just remembering wrong, but is the scan supposed to pick up on custom checks and put them in the report?

template: ${type}:${street}:${length}
expression: /^[1234678]::([0-9]{3,5}|[5-9][0-9]$)/

That will highlight for Street, Primary Street, Freeway, Ramp, Major Highway, Minor Highway, and Dirt Road. I think.

An alternative to ${type} is ${typeRank}, which uses the following codes:

${typeRank}
15 freeway
14 major highway
13 minor highway
12 ramp
11 primary street
10 street
9 service road
8 dirt road
7 parking lot road
6 private road
5 walking trail
4 pedestrian bdwk
3 stairway
2 railroad
1 runway

Kinda makes it easier if you wanna do, say, all public drivable roads (1[0-5]). Also a little easier to remember.

1) what does the various beeps mean? Seems to have a purpose, but haven't figured it out.
2) How do you turn that NOISE OFF?!? ;)
1) One beep per "screen", with a higher-pitched beep at the end.
2) Gear, wrench, uncheck "Enable sounds".

How does it define "drivable"? Is that just everything from Freeway to Street and Ramp, or does it also include conditionally drivable roads like Private, PLot, and Dirt?

Yep, at least I believe so. When I scan an area that has both urban/suburban roads and large lakes/swamps, I get lots of really quick beeps and a number of well-spaced ones, with some in between (probably along the edges between built areas and swamps/lakes).
