you need to edit elementclasses.h and elementclasses.cpp, in .cpp add 'elements.push_back(Element_DERP());' and in .h after the list with #define: '#define PT_DERP id' and at the bottom before 'std::vector<Element> GetElements();':

class Element_DERP: public Element
{
public:
Element_DERP();
virtual ~Element_DERP();
static int update(UPDATE_FUNC_ARGS);

static int graphics(GRAPHICS_FUNC_ARGS);
};

only update and/or graphics if you use them

I did that, but nothing happened in the mod...

GreenFireDragon

what is the code of the element

Do you have git? you can clone the TPT repository

No i don't.

Weird problem:
When i coded DERP and ran generator.py, nothing was added to elementclasses.h and .cpp. When i add them manually, nothing happens in the mod. When i add them manually and run generator.py, what i added gets removed. Very wierd, because this didn't happen to my first element, which also never showed up in the mod.
This is the code of DERP(all copied from BGLA)


#include "simulation/Elements.h"
//#TPT-Directive ElementClass Element_BGLA PT_BGLA 47
Element_DERP::Element_DERP()
{
	Identifier = "DEFAULT_PT_DERP";
	Name = "DERP";
	Colour = PIXPACK(0x424242);
	MenuVisible = 1;
	MenuSection = SC_POWDERS;
	Enabled = 1;
	
	Advection = 0.4f;
	AirDrag = 0.04f * CFDS;
	AirLoss = 0.94f;
	Loss = 0.95f;
	Collision = -0.1f;
	Gravity = 0.3f;
	Diffusion = 0.00f;
	HotAir = 0.000f	* CFDS;
	Falldown = 1;
	
	Flammable = 0;
	Explosive = 0;
	Meltable = 5;
	Hardness = 0;
	
	Weight = 90;
	
	Temperature = R_TEMP+0.0f	+273.15f;
	HeatConduct = 150;
	Description = "Broken Glass, Heavy particles. Meltable. Bagels.";
	
	State = ST_SOLID;
	Properties = TYPE_PART;
	
	LowPressure = IPL;
	LowPressureTransition = NT;
	HighPressure = IPH;
	HighPressureTransition = NT;
	LowTemperature = ITL;
	LowTemperatureTransition = NT;
	HighTemperature = 1973.0f;
	HighTemperatureTransition = PT_LAVA;
	
	Update = NULL;
	
}

Element_DERP::~Element_DERP() {}

I didn't change the second line, because that was just a comment.

xetalim

//#TPT-Directive ElementClass Element_BGLA PT_BGLA 47

generator.py reads that comment

change all BGLA to DERP

change 47 to 174

GreenFireDragon

generator.py only add the files in 'SOURCE_FOLDER\src\simulation\elements' and if you create a file it's almost always created in the 'SOURCE_FOLDER'

xetalim

@GreenFireDragon (View Post)

also, generator.py only changes in SOURCE_FOLDER\generated

(i think so)

@GreenFireDragon (View Post)
It is in src\simulation\elements. I don't make silly mistakes like that.
@xetalim (View Post)
I'll give it a try.

EDIT:i just tried it, and it worked. Python reads comments? 0_0
BUT, still nothing added to the mod. I must be missing something.

I code an element, runs generator.py. That part is clear and works properly.What's next?
