    Yes, I know. In this case 91.2 has no relevant changes to my mod. So no need to worry, you are still on the latest version.

    I might do an update later anyway, just to increase the version number.

    Version 33.5 Released!

    Version 33.5 4/2/16
    Add red-cyan 3D mode from tpt++ (only accessible via the renderer.depth3d() lua function). tpt++: THDR is no longer an energy particle. Make download code even more thread safe.

    Just a small update, mostly for the version number and the 3d mode. I was going to add a setting in options, then I realized i'd rather just rewrite the whole options menu than do that. Which I still plan to do eventually, but first I would rather rewrite the save browser.

    Download Version 33.5 for Mac OS X 10.6+
    Download Version 33.5 for 64 bit linux.
    Download Version 33.5 for 32 bit linux.

    Hey Jacob, is there a 64 bit version for windows yet? If not, when? If not when, why not?

    Is there a reason to have one? 32 bit works just fine. I don't know if 64 bit is much faster, and I also worry about what might be different for the 64 bit version. On 64 bit linux, lua has some rounding issues. I don't think I have seen any issues with .life and stuff acting differently (we just use 'int' for most of that, not an explicit 32-bit unsigned int like we should)

    I think I am able to cross compile for 64 bit windows (haven't tried), but I just don't have a reason to. I also like having only one download.

     The reason I ask is because sometimes the screenshot preview things in saves load fairly slowly, and sometimes my game lags when I try to do complex bombs etc. Its not really "game breaking", but I thought it would be better to be faster on 64bit.

     

    For instance, the 32bit version can only use 2 GBs of RAM, correct? I have 4GB, so most of it is just wasted then without 64bit version.

    Great Mod! I especially love the BUTN element. However, when I ty to replace another solid with BALL, TPT crashes. Any idea what's going on?

    That is dependent on your download speed. Although the sleep() call i'm using might slow the download slightly (64 bit wouldn't change this).

    I could probably do some testing at some point about whether 64 bit is faster or not, my mod has a benchmark thing built in (some command line flag you can pass it).

    TPT never uses more than about 100000KB of RAM. And my mod really never uses more than 70000KB. So RAM isn't the issue here :)


    @techyman305 (View Post)
    Definitely looks like a crash. But I have created a hotfix just for you: Don't do that :)

    I'll probably fix it for the next version anyway. It probably won't create a valid ball though, you have to actually draw those with the mouse for them to work.

    Also I liked the idea of BUTN too, it came before spark signs even. I kind of wish we had BUTN instead of spark signs ... I can still add it to official, maybe (but I probably won't)

    I've switched to a better computer than before but I also got a new keyboard which does not work well with TPTMP so I can't type "/" as before or in any way I've tried. Any help?

    @jacob1 I think you mean KB and not MB? 100000 MB is almost 100 GB of RAM.

    Well, i'm still correct. TPT doesn't use more than 100GB of ram ;)

    @xteric (View Post)
    Make sure you are using TPTMP .87. It is supposed to have better keyboard support now, so that you just type whatever key is actually '/' on your keyboard. If not, i'm not sure what the problem is.
