    2 things first the "locked" save means he saved but didnt make it public so you cant search it( and mabye vote im not rly sure on that part) BUT because its still a save it appears you can post a save id link to it

    second are these things that could be accomplished via looking through the source?
    i cant code so im not sure the specifics but id think thats where youd find them

    My reply:
    In theory yes. But I'd have to know how to READ the C code I was looking at. I can't even figure out how to compile an unaltered version of TPT even when following the tutorial. There's NO CHANCE I'll figure out how the save-file code works by "just looking at it".

    But there are those who DO know how to understand C on these forums. And it is from them that I'm asking for the specs on the save-file structure.

    I think .tmp2 is now being saved, so that would be in there somewhere (might not be in v52).

    Thanks, I'll have to read that. In the mean time, here's another one of my saves. This time I also figured out how to lock it from the start. So here it is. Unpause it and watch everything go BOOM.

    What about the NON-STAMP saves (ctrl+save button)? Do they follow the same format?
