screen_capture DOES work via the bridge (capture_id='ScreenCapture_1');
the prior assumption that the Studio viewport couldn't be captured from
this box was wrong. capture_shots.py sets the Edit camera per shot and
pulls a jpg for each angle.
rebuild_cachebust.luau documents the require() cache trap: pushing new
.Source does not invalidate the per-instance module cache, so a rebuild
silently runs the OLD code and the diagnostic reports already-fixed
failures. Swapping in Clone()s at the same paths forces a fresh compile.
The PA ring road and the expressway mainline were both at ground level, so
the ring parapet stood INSIDE the carriageway (measured -10.0 studs of
vertical overlap: a wall in the middle of the road).
Reference photos of the real Daikoku Futo PA show the expressway flying
OVER the parking apron on pillars, with the PA at ground level and ramps
climbing up to meet it. Rebuilt to match:
- mainline lifted 38 studs through the junction, eased in/out (max 5.26%
grade, within real expressway limits)
- PA ring + apron stay at ground level; legacy PARingPillar props removed
- both on/off ramps regraded over the full rise with smoothstep easing,
segments overlapped 3 studs so wheels can't catch a seam, plus support
pillars and edge kerbs where the deck is high
Verified in-engine against built parts (tools/diag_daikoku.luau), not just
source: clearance now +28.0 studs, both ramps continuous (max step 5.62,
no gaps). tools/plot_daikoku.py renders the plan/section for comparison.
The PA was a placeholder: 9 painted stripes and 4 lights on a slab.
Rebuilt it against sourced figures rather than recollection.
Sources:
* OpenStreetMap way 59608205 (大黒ふ頭パーキングエリア) -- the apron is
181 m x 174 m / 1.6 ha, i.e. essentially SQUARE, not circular.
* ja.wikipedia 大黒パーキングエリア -- 首都高速で最大のPA, opened
1989-09-27. Capacity 小型 341 + 大型 59 + 身障者用 4 = 404, now
reproduced EXACTLY (11 rows x 31, 20/20/19, 1 row x 4).
* 本館 on the west side, ベイサイドテラス二番館 on the north, per the
same article. EV rapid charger (first on a Japanese expressway,
2008-10-10) and the 段差 bumps retrofitted to deter lowered cars.
Stall dimensions (小型 2.5x5.0 m, 大型 3.3x12 m, 6 m aisles) are
conventional JP parking-design values and are commented as NOT
primary-sourced, unlike the 全標協 road markings. Building footprints
are art-directed to the aerial and flagged as such.
tools/verify_daikoku_pa.luau asserts capacity, containment, block
separation and building placement in-engine: 20 passed, 0 failed.
Two bugs found and fixed by that harness:
* The hand-placed 小型 Z origin overlapped the 大型 bays by 42 studs.
The origin is now DERIVED from the 二番館 frontage; clearance is
61.4 studs. The first version of the overlap test compared
consecutive head lines (always 0 for back-to-back rows), which was
meaningless and hid this.
* push_mapbuilder.py lost a byte whenever a chunk began with a
newline -- Lua long-bracket literals swallow a newline directly
after the opening bracket (assembled=65158 vs 65159). It now emits
a deliberate leading newline; the push verifies match=true.
Four fidelity fixes, all verified in a live Studio datamodel (not just built):
1. Wire up the dead `bridge` flag. Circuit.luau marks 474 samples as bridge
spans but nothing ever read the field, so every elevated metre rendered as
the same slab on square columns. Flagged spans now get a steel box girder
(鋼箱桁橋) with stiffener ribs under the deck, carried on a transverse pier
cap and round columns at a wider pitch than the viaduct pillars.
2. Ginza 跨道橋. The Ginza section sits below street level in the filled-in
楓川・築地川 river beds and the surviving city bridges cross over it, their
piers landing in the median. Adds the crossing decks, parapets and centre
piers -- which is the physical reason lane changes are banned there, not
just a paint choice.
3. Junction speed plates. 江戸橋JCT内 / 浜崎橋JCT内 / 京橋JCT-旧白魚橋乗継所 are
posted 40 km/h, not the 50 km/h mainline limit; plates repeat more often
through the short restricted stretches.
4. Shiodome JCT -> Hamazakibashi JCT widened to 3+3 lanes via widthAt(), with
a taper (max ~1.7 studs/sample) instead of a step. Every fixed-width
consumer -- deck, median, parapets, lane marks, signage offsets, skyline
setback, finish line -- now reads widthAt() so nothing floats or clips.
Verified headlessly (tools/verify_c1_fixes*.luau):
girders 488 / 474 flagged samples, pier caps 85, columns 80
Ginza overpasses 7, piers 7, lateral offset from centreline 0.000 studs
speed plates 40km/h x7, 50km/h x8
deck width Shiodome 81.5 vs Kasumigaseki 60.0
seam lip max 0.0006, road-surface raycast step max 0.260, 0 deck holes
Two earlier "failures" were bad tests, not bad geometry, and the fixed
harnesses document the traps: deck parts are pitched by CFrame.lookAt so
Position.Y+Size.Y/2 is not the surface height (and LookVector is -Z, so the
end faces are easy to swap), and a seam raycast must filter to the Expressway
folder or it hits TunnelCeiling/MedianFence and reports a phantom 19-stud step.
