Support running
As Zwift has a mode for running as well it would be nice if you could build running specific routes.
To support this some things need to be done:
For RoadCaptain route builder:
- [x] Sport selection
- [x] Sport types supported by every segment
- [x] Add running only segments
- [x] Add sport type to route save file
- [ ] Map turns from game to running segments
For RoadCaptain Runner:
- [x] Use sport type in messages throughout the UI
Running segments have been added, still need to work out the valid turns onto other segments:
If I recall right, Green segment is for Sprint segment. I am not sure if there are a 'special' color for ONLY running route.
The green segments are the segments that contain a spawn point, basically where you start when you start riding/running in Zwift. When building a route you have to start on those places otherwise you'd manually have to navigate to the start point of the route you design in RoadCaptain. Can be done but I found that very unfriendly when I was play testing the initial version.
It's coming along nicely. There are a few segments that need to be split in order to be able to turn onto the right segments as many of the cycling segments now "intersect" onto running segments.
Oh okay, I misunderstood that green line. I have no clue which color to choose for running only route. Same comment with a setting to select a device, if you choose Treadmill, Cycling only routes should be grey-out ? That way in anycase, if you have only a HomeTrainer, Running only route are grey-out.
Still have to choose a color segment for Sprint, Kom, Reverse etc. AT some point it will be complicated to show 'selected route + display segments'
edit: Just before the direction arrow, wouldn't be interesting to display running/cycling, or running only or cycling only icon ? Probably too much information displayed.
Regarding segment colors in Route Builder, I have some ideas to make the map view a lot better, I'll summarize that in a new issue to keep track of that. (See #31 )
The interesting thing is that in Watopia all cycling segments are also running segments so you when you build a running route you can start on any spawn point that there is in Watopia. For cycling the running segments are hidden from view which means that you'll also not see those spawn points. Think that's sufficient for Route Builder anyway.
First release is available for testing: https://github.com/sandermvanvliet/RoadCaptain/releases/tag/0.6.0.0
Currently you can't (yet) exit May Field onto Ocean Boulevard. I need to split those segments and work out exactly where the exit is on May Field. Stay tuned!
