Moose test and slalon generator

Description
A professional Moose Test (ISO 3888-2) generator for GTA V Map Editor that creates perfect obstacle avoidance courses for any vehicle. Test your vehicle's stability and handling during emergency lane-change maneuvers with scientifically accurate cone placements based on vehicle width.

Features:
- Automatic Width Calculation: Input vehicle width, get perfectly spaced cones automatically.
Two Generators Included:
- Moose Test Generator: Full 9-gate ISO 3888-2 standard configuration
- Slalom Generator: Simple line of cones for practice
- Visual Markers: P1B accelerator release gate uses different colored cones for clear identification.
- Detailed Console Output: Shows all distances, positions, and verifications.
- Customizable Locations: Change starting point, angle, and cone separations.
- Pre-configured Airport Location: Ready-to-use at optimal testing coordinates.

Requirements:
- Map Editor
- Python 3.x (for script execution)

Installation:
- Download and extract the Python scripts.
- Run the desired generator script:
- Moose Test 1.1.py for full Moose Test
- Slalon.py for simple slalom
- Copy the generated XML file to your GTA V root folder.
- Open Map Editor in-game and load the XML file.

Usage:

1. 
   Run the Script: - For Moose Test: Input vehicle name and width when prompted - For Slalom: Adjust parameters in the script or run with defaults
2. 
   Generate XML: Script creates a properly formatted XML file
3. 
   Load in Map Editor: - Open Map Editor in GTA V - Go to "Load Map" - Select your generated XML file
4. 
   Test Your Vehicle: - Accelerate from Gate P1 - Release accelerator at P1B (different colored cone) - Navigate through all gates without hitting cones

Test Configuration:
The Moose Test includes:

- Section A: Gates 1-3 (main line) with additional P1B gate at 2m
- Section B: Gates 4-6 (offset section)
- Section C: Gates 7-9 (aligned with Section A)
- Cone Width Considered: All calculations include 0.5m cone hitbox diameter

Default Location
Pre-configured for optimal testing at Los Santos International Airport:
Coordinates: -1458.6318, -3177.083, 12.945
Orientation: -30 angle
Height adjusted for airport ground level

Customization Options
Edit the script to change:
- Starting coordinates (x0, y0, z)
- Test angle (currently -30)
- Cone spacing formulas
- Number of cones/gates

Python Scripts Included
- Moose Test 1.1.py: Main generator with detailed console output and verification
- Slalon.py: Simple generator for basic slalom practice
Both scripts output XML files ready for Map Editor import.

Tips
- Start with slower vehicles to learn the test pattern
- The P1B gate (different colored cone) indicates where to stop accelerating
- Use the verification output to ensure proper cone placement
- Experiment with different vehicle widths to see how spacing affects difficulty
- Works great for comparing stock vs. modded vehicle handling

Professional Applications
- Compare handling characteristics between different vehicle classes
- Test stability of modded vehicles
- Practice emergency avoidance maneuvers
- Create standardized tests for vehicle reviews
- Educational tool for understanding vehicle dynamics
- Spanish video

Changelog
- v1.1: Added cone width consideration (0.5m hitbox), P1B special gate, improved verification
- v1.0: Initial release with basic Moose Test and Slalom generators

Development
The project is open for customization and improvement. Users can modify the Python scripts to create different test configurations or adapt them for specific needs.
