    TPT will normally start, yes.

    Edit: It appears that I am starting from a zip file that was only partly downloaded. It didn't show up as a .zip or a .part, so  I didn't know.

    Edit2: Ninja'd!

    What does "realistic heat mode" do?

    I tried opening my landship save using jacob1's mod and it broke :d

    I'm not entirely sure, it was an option in the old source that I enabled :P. I know it makes at least some changes to gases and also tries to add latent heat.

    Works fine for me.

    It may be an issue but isn't much of one I think. When velocity of a particle exceeds the window dimensions 604x376 with loop mode on it will either freeze in place (usually at the bottom) with the velocity continuously increasing or delete itself (usually with phot, elec, prot, neut) with the former bringing down fps quite a bit. RAZR is the only one not to act that way.

    probably more intentional than an actual issue :P

    I tried it out and it seems to cause gases (and I think maybe some liquids too) to generate more pressure at higher temperatures. It requires "ambient heat" to be enabled for it to work. I know one thing, it SIGNIFICANTLY boosts the pressure and head generated by a nuclear explosion set off using just plutonium. Now I can make even bigger atomic bombs from a much smaller amount of plutonium, and more dramatic reactor meltdowns.

    One thing it also does is make firework explosions more powerful, and they behave like a bomb going off (and in some saves this means they are too powerful). Remember in Destructible City, how at the very start of it there's a firework that goes off? Now that firework damages the nearby buildings and sets them on fire, so even before I start to try to destroy the place, its very operation causes it to start destroying itself.

    Because plasma is the hottest element in TPT, placing a decent amount of it on the drawing area, now causes a small explosion (realistic heat mode makes super hot gases like PLSM generate major amounts of pressure).

    Version 30.3 Released!

    Version 30.3 1/9/15
    Revert stacked PSTN fix for now. Fix DMG and IRON. Redo how the save browser downloads data entirely (will make it easier to edit). Also likely fixes freezes when mniip.com or powdertoy.co.uk go down (happens a lot), and reduces lag by a bit. Make almost all interfaces cancel when you click off the edges. Minor text updates in multiple interfaces. Fix flood fill issue / crash. Always send missing key events to lua. ctrl(+shift)+tab switches between tabs. Remove autosave button (it was broken, there are better alternatives now). Fix some issues with tptmp and the script manager. Other fixes, also simulation updates from tpt++.

    Hopefully this update works well and doesn't cause missing thumbnails or crashes or failed save loading issues. If there are any then report them here or in the in game bug reporter though!

    I have some immediate future plans which may not be so immediate but we will see. I want to add support for alternate save servers which means I need to update how the mod searches for and load saves finally. If done right, I should be able to add "Page 1 of X" on the bottom, with a textbox to switch pages. When opening saves it should also be able to give an accurate page count, and hopefully scroll past 10 pages. Maybe it could display the number of comments before opening the save too.
    If I add alternate save server support, i'll also need to add multiple login support. And maybe some other stuff too :).

    Also I discontinued the legacy versions (which were only left on windows and linux 32 bit anyway). It will update you to the normal update route automatically. The legacy versions weren't compiled properly so didn't run on ancient computers anyway, so basically they were useless and confusing.

    Download Version 30.3 for Mac OS X 10.5+ (32/64 bit universal binary)
    Download Version 30.3 for 64 bit linux.
    Download Version 30.3 for 32 bit linux.
