TPT Snapshots / Betas
-
New snapshot #31:
Prevent errors being printed to stderr when opening saves
New debug mode: tpt.setdebug(0x8). Enables subframe particle debugging. Alt+f will advance simulation by one particle, Shift+f will advance it to the particle under the mouse.
The particle debugging stuff is pretty cool. Might help some advanced subframe electronics makers, if they can figure it out. Pressing shift+f when not over a particle, or when the particle you are over has already been updated, will advance it to the end of the frame. Whenever it advances to the end of the frame, it also runs some stuff normally done at the beginning of the next frame. Maybe I could change that, but it is just for debugging anyway. Also looks like ctrl+f is broken, for some reason I forgot to double check that shortcut. I'll probably fix it for 91.0 but a new snapshot isn't important right now.
Also an official release is becoming more likely, maybe this weekend. After the official release the snapshots will continue, without the --beta flag.Edited 2 times by jacob1. Last: 25th Feb 2016 -
@jacob1 (View Post) The official release will be what version?

so the weekend is here :D

Reflection for the snapshots work differently to how it is in the current official release and making it official will cause problems imho. For example, the following saves work properly in the current official but not in the snapshots:

Ok so this reflects up (as well as the other lasers if you elongate the reflectors to angle the beam up) in the official tpt:
1945495View Save 1945495But it doesn't in the snapshot.
Also this travels straight in the official but not in the snapshot:
1945500View Save 1945500The former save is the first save in my previous post but angled up. The latter save is an older version of the third example in my previous post, but should be practically the same (I just some stuff unrelated to reflection). I had to use an older version as I edited and saved it in the snapshot and didn't realise that older versions of TPT can't open newer saves.

I'm having trouble reproducing it ):
Does this version work any better? http://starcatcher.us/TPT/Download/Snapshot%20linux32.zip
It's probably some weird thing with how it gets compiled, maybe 64 bit versions of tpt have the problem, or maybe it's something linux-specific. -
Yeah that version makes the saves work properly for me. Thanks for fixing it jacob.

I didn't actually fix anything, I just discovered that the 32 bit version works
Maybe when I get a new computer and install linux i'll see what I can do ...
