    Track Lables, Dedicated Profiler Module, MeshLOD, and Fixes. Stable

    setonc released this 2026-06-25 20:26:42 -04:00 | 0 commits to main since this release

    New

    Mesh LOD module (disabled by default)
    Adds a level-of-detail system for rolling stock that the base game lacks. Each car
    gets a 4-level LODGroup: full detail up close, two progressive renderer-culling
    passes at mid distance (sorted by size so structural geometry survives and tiny
    details drop first), and a single 12-triangle proxy box far away. Transition
    distances and cull aggressiveness are configurable; apply it to locomotives,
    freight, or both independently. Frees up GPU resources when hundreds of cars are in view or on weaker systems that can't handle as many triangles.

    (This is still quite experimental, and you might notice on oddly shaped cars or edge cases where some parts of the car will stay in an LOD state. Not unstable, just visual glitches.)

    Profiler module (disabled by default)
    A unified in-game performance overlay, split out of Physics Optimizer into its own
    module. Always shows the render + physics frame-time graph and timing report;
    extra sections appear automatically for whichever optimization modules are enabled

    • Physics Optimizer LOD/auto-freeze quick-toggles with live stats, and Mesh LOD
      per-level car counts. Toggle with /rpf overlay.

    Track & industry name labels on the map
    The map now labels named tracks and industries, read live from the game's industry
    data so mod-added tracks appear automatically. Labels render in three zoom stages -
    individual per-track labels with leader lines up close, merged labels at medium
    zoom, and one large label per industry area when zoomed out. Every threshold, font
    size, leader-line thickness, and the merge behavior are configurable from the gear
    menu Labels submenu or the S³ settings page.

    These settings will need to be changed by each user as scaling and whatnot depends on screen/game resolution!

    Changed

    • The profiler overlay moved out of Physics Optimizer into the new Profiler
      module. Enable Profiler to see the overlay; /rpf overlay controls it there.
      Physics Optimizer keeps its Harmony patches and debug car tinting.
    • Removed the F10 "switch to popout" shortcut - it conflicted with UMM's
      Shift+F10 hotkey, and F9 already detaches the popout.

    Fixed

    • "Jump to mouse" (T key) now works from both the in-game map overlay and the
      detached popout window. The overlay's input-gate patch had been blocking the
      game's teleport, and the popout couldn't receive the key while the game window
      was unfocused.
    • Map hotkey pass-through: with the Map Module disabled, pressing M now
      opens the base-game map normally instead of being intercepted.
    • Mesh LOD proxy-box color: distant proxy boxes again render in the car's own
      color instead of flat gray (they'd been given a shared material tinted via the
      legacy _Color property, which URP ignores in favor of _BaseColor).
    • Mesh LOD memory: the proxy-box mesh is now released when a car's LOD is torn
      down or refreshed, instead of leaking until the scene unloads.
