Automation Track Builder - a visual track editor
Some of you have noticed, in the BRC thread, that I had a suspicious-looking "Coming soon..." screenshot in my signature.
As it indicated, I was working on a visual editor for test tracks.
So, after a few days of interface adjustments, battles against the libraries and trigonometry hijinks, here it is:

See the racing line over your nice-looking background and change every possible value on-the-fly. You can even select any corner* to change!
* This will not change the subsequent corners, so things will likely look a bit weird.
A few things to be taken into consideration:
- This is a 100% client-side web application, so 1) it's a bit heavy, and 2) it can be hosted anywhere. Future plans include a downloadable version for those who want to use it offline.
- Right now, the import function expects the Scale field to be a division of two numbers. Sorry for those who used a direct value.
- Some breakage might be experienced on other, unpredicted cases (the parsing algorithm is somewhat fickle, as it handles a raw Lua AST). Feel free to submit reports.
- Those who want to look at the source code can access its repository: https://github.com/ElSaico/automation-track-builder
A tutorial is available to help understanding how to use this: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=4179
Enjoy!
