With the models resolving properly there is nothing left to infer, so the
inference goes. Out: the gate tracing, the route/field test, the collapse
of each wall bar to a centreline, the dropping of "isolated" placements.
Every one of those existed to make sense of a track that appeared to be
one model repeated, and it is not.
What is left is what the map screen does. Every placement, its model's
GaugeImage looked up by name, laid down rotated and positioned, at the
LOD the engine would pick for that scale, in the palette the display is
configured with, on the display's own black. So the walls are grey
because index 51 is grey and the score zones are amber because sc50 and
sc500a are drawn in 56 - nothing on the page is a styling choice.
Also right way round now: +X runs right and +Z up, matching the engine and
the map viewer. The nine console pictures are still here, below each
drawing where they exist, captioned as mirrored - they are illustrations
rather than screenshots, and the page no longer quietly adopts their
handedness for everything else.
Rewritten because build_mapview.py imports navmap. This is what tracking
a .pyc costs - it will churn whenever a tool that imports navmap runs,
without ever being a source change. One .gitignore line ends it.
Everything outstanding, uncurated: the bytecode cache Python wrote beside
navmap.py while building the pages. It is derived from a tracked source
and tagged to one interpreter (cpython-314), so it will go stale rather
than break anything - one .gitignore line drops it again if it becomes
noise.
