TIPS For New TPT Users

    Hey tpt users its me again.

    Lately, I've been getting heaps of questions...
    Through Conversations, In game comments and what-not.

    To answer it use the search bar!

    But if your to slack....Just keep reading.

    How to make SPNG Move:
    The answer is open the console ( ~ ) and type !set vy spng -1 for it to rise slowly and type !set vx spng -1 to go to the right. The -1 is the speed ( 1 slow, 5 faster and so-forth).

    How to get front page:
    Your save needs...
    To be UNDER a week old! PLEASE FOLLOW THAT!
    It needs to generate a lot of votes vey quickly.
    Needs to have more votes than the last Front-Page save.

    (And I know what im talking about.... I have been on the FP 3x and hope to be on more :D
    I have one on there right now).

    Links:
    To make a link put in a sign...
    In the sign put {c:------|EXAMPLE}..
    The ------ represents the ID for that save... the EXAMPLE is were you put the name of the save.

    How to get a ""Name"" for your self:
    Use good grammar. People will be able to understand you better.
    A common forum user is usually helpful.
    Front page helps alot too.
    A catchy logo.

    How to make a good forum post
    As said before use good grammar. People will be able to understand you better and your topic will have a positive outcome (Normally).
    USE THE SEARCH BAR Please just please. If its allready made dont make another -.-
    Get your info on the topic. e.g. How to use pipe... 1. Wiki 2. USE THE SEARCH BAR
    Dont:
    Necropost
    Troll
    Bump (Unless Manditory)
    Flame
    Rude or abusive

    Other things:
    If you dont know what a specific element does check the wiki.
    Before posting a topic make sure you've got the right info.
    Imagination, creativity and originality. It will get you far.
    DONT ASK FOR VOTES! YOU WILL GET DOWN VOTES!
    Also dont flood it with logos... it ""Eats"" FPS.
    Small saves are nice as they dont take to much FPS
    Put lots of effort into it! (People like things that are caringly made and have a good use or look cool).
    Don't activate newtonian gravity unless it's mandatory. Alot of users have slow computers

    Add another tip for good saves:

    Don't activate newtonian gravity unless it's mandatory. Alot of users have slow computers, and why should they deactivate the newtonian gravity manually, when you can do it to make their work easier?

    I don't think he would have posted it if he didn't :p

    Anyway, HOPEFULLY this will reduce the amount of tedious already asked questions.

    Add a tip saying that you should read this thread... Lol.


    But seriously, newbs and noobs don't take the time to read threads, even if stickied.
    They're too busy necroing, suggesting useless elements that are basically already in the game and being general idiots to even notice stickied threads, nevermind open them.
