    jacob1: how does LCRY art abuse a bug?

    Voyager15: nukes that look like art are perfectly fine. What people were doing is uploading giant blobs of DMND with deco on it. From the thumbnail it looked like some cool piece of art so people would upvote it, when really it was just a wall of DMND. Basically, the same thing they are doing with LCRY now lol. Art may be interesting to look at once, but if it consistantly gets front page it just gets stale and starts arguments.

    Hm, why was deco removed in the thumbnails in the first place? Let me guess: some people decided it to be funny and make nukes that look like art :P But seriously, I want to make a mod that enables thumbnails. If I only know lua, it's just a never ending wall of text to me @_@

    *Graps chin and nods* I see... Thank you very much.

    Basically you needed to keep track of which particle you were reacting with, I do this by remembering rx and ry. Then you can delete that particle after the reaction.

    local rx,ry = x+math.random(-1,1),y+math.random(-1,1)local reaction = tpt.get+property("type", rx, ry)if reaction == elem.DEFAULT_PT_WATR thensim.partChangeType(i, COFE)tpt.delete_part(rx, ry)end

    Voyager15: when deco was removed from thumbnails I hated the decision and complained about it a lot. I also figured out / showed people ways to still make their thumbnails look good. I think if we develop a system to keep art off the front page then it would be perfectly fine to have deco in save thumbnails again. In fact I was sort of working on one :P, it only detects LCRY art though.

    jacob1: *Sigh* Uuugh... I'm too lazy to show you my function, but I'll do it anyways, because my script would suck if I couldn't improve this ONE function, because 1/3 of my elements use it... id:1761042

    Jacob1, I think we either have DECO shown on either all elements in all saves or on none, including LCRY. And I think much more people would rather prefer the former.

    Atomic10: if you use the script server it's extremely easy to update a script. You just go to http://starcatcher.us/scripts/ , find your script, and click "open for editing". Once the update is approved anyone who downloaded it can update it. Also i'm confused about what your problem is ...
