    Hey!

    You!

    Yeah, you, with the mod!

    I have an idea...

    Why don't we all combine our mods into one huge Ultimate Powder Toy!

    Me4502, Jenn4, PizzaPlatypus, and the rest of you...

    What do you think? Any ideas? Any problems?

    Problems:
    Laa---aaagg
    Lack of space

    Plus already suggested as Über Mod, but I'm not sure if it was made..

    I'm not just talking about favorites...

    Lack of space? Perhaps there could be 2 or more subsections for each category.

    Lag? Don't know what to do about that. I don't even see why many elements could cause lag, unless they were all applied at once. Maybe I'm just not that good with computers to know why.

    We are already in the works of something similar. It is called Powder Sim. It should be in the mod section. take a look at the list so far.

    TPT has an element limit ( 255 I beleive ) and increasing it would probably reduce the performances or increase the RAM needed...

    Someone's enthusiastic about this.

    Thanks for the derogatory remarks comments.

    what you want is Powder Sim, or Ps... It is a off-branch of tpt started by me, with @vanquish349 as lead developer, and @randalserrano and others as developers... @PizzaPlatypus said he would also develop... but he never did anything...

    I did think about something like this, but eventually I decided it was easier to re-do my old mod

    The Ubermod project was a similar attempt at this, there was only a handful of mods around at the time and people were asking for X element from Y mod to be included in Z mod so I saw that as a sort of solution.

    The Powder Toy is released under GPLv2, meaning it and all modifications of it are open source. So in theory you could take everybodies mod and build it into one mega-mod yourself, the only catch is you need to give full attribution to everyone whose work you have used.


    Also, this belongs in General.
