Paint clipping is a possible future feature to assist players building in cluttered areas of a park by controlling which map elements and sprites are rendered, providing a clearer view for construction, inspection, etc.
Only clip height is supported in this prototype.
Map elements are clipped according to the map element base height (meaning *all* scenery on that map element is currently clipped with it).
Sprites are clipped according to their z value being within the "sprite volume" of any non-clipped map element (which means below clip height + 2).
Control is only provided through the console in this prototype - use the command: set paint_clip_height _value_
To turn clipping off use the command: set paint_clip_height 255
Clip heights are limited to multiples of two to coincide with the native heights of map elements.
Command "get paint_clip_height" prints the clip height as a raw value as well as the equivalent height in ft and m as used when displaying heights in-game.
At this time only painting of the main viewport is affected. There is no change to any input control handling.
Cleaned up widget positions - looks like a proper interface now.
Remaining Issues:
- Window only displays correctly every second time it is opened;
- Clip height in Units (ft/m) is displayed without the decimal point;
- Scroll bar is not working;
- Decide how the View menu entry should work.
