Need better format for save

    Uploading plotted saves is against the rules even if they're unpublished, this has been confirmed by Simon. If any new plotted saves are uploaded, they will be deleted and may result in a ban.

     

    Also, I'm not sure it's a good idea to publish a program to do image plotting... there's a reason why everyone else who has made one in the past hasn't published it. It provides too much temptation for other people to create and upload plotted saves.

    It's not against the rules to publish the software, just the saves, and even then only to the official TPT server. If one were to output a .stm or .cps file and then upload it to a 3rd party file hosting server like Mediafire (or even on their own web server if they are running one), and then post the link here in a forum thread, I don't think that's any violation. It's just that the bandwidth and space on the official TPT server that is used for storing saves shouldn't be wasted with stuff that wasn't made in TPT.

    And by the way, here's my release thread for my software. Any additional comments on my software should be posted to:

    This save format thread should either be locked, or left open for only additional discussion regarding the older PSv save format.
