Terrain Builder - Fast Roads/Shapes export script

[Atom_Monky 14]

Hi,
i made a small AutoHotkey Script for faster updating my roads in bulldozer while editing the polyline.
It just presses the hotkeys in the right order to save the  shapes document, and opens buldozer when its aktiv.

How To Use:
Ctrl + 1 : Auto export and BD refresh
Ctrl + 2: Switch between BD and TB
F6: Kill the script

 

Requirements :
AutoHotkey:  https://www.autohotkey.com
Buldozer Tools:

How To Install:
(1) Create a file called "Script.ahk"
(2) Paste the code in it.
(3) Run the file as admin.

code:

edit: select current layer export

erm that exports the whole document, what about when you using other shape layers for stuff? They will all get exported as well, an if you have polygons that will mess with the roads working. Or if you have polylines that you use for TP etc, they will end up on your map as undefined roads.

 

If you use multiple layers for different roads (like most people do), you should export using selection of layers. If you keep all roads on one layer (bad idea tbh) it's best to export using active layer.

its now includet in the script to select the current layer in the export option
