FS25 Tool Work Lines BETA v3.0

Tool Work Lines adds visual guidelines to help you see exactly where your tools and implements will work before you start the job.
Hold the show-lines key and the mod displays left/right work-width indicators on the ground, plus a dotted center guide line. This helps with lining up passes more accurately when mowing, cultivating, plowing, seeding, spraying, using bale equipment, and working with other tools.

Beta Notice
This is a beta release. The main work-line system is working well, but some tools may still use fallback detection if they do not provide standard work-area data. Please report any tools that show incorrect width, position, or direction so support can be improved in future updates.

Changed to beta, did not mean to have it be a release version- we are still working through errors and improving. Your feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!
Added projection-style guidelines for front loader attachments.
Front loader tools now draw projected lines from the attachment instead of full-body fallback lines.
Added support for loader tools such as:
– buckets, pallet forks, bale forks, bale spikes, grapples, similar front loader attachments
– Attachment projection lines now follow the attachment’s current pointing angle/height instead of snapping flat to the ground.
– Added a red cross/edge line at the front attachment edge.
Added separate color settings for:
– Rear/default tool lines, front attachment projection lines
– Updated the Alt + Z color dialog to include both rear/default and front attachment color options.
– Improved front/rear weight detection so weights should be skipped before fallback lines are drawn.
Fixed:
– Key binding issues.
