    When is TPTPP going to be released?
    Do moving solids mean that they fall to the ground and bounce?

    TPT++ is coming soon.
    Moving solids are solids that move as one. Wheels on a car. Boxes. Bouncing balls. Planks. Rope. et cetera.

    TPT++? When did this happen?(I am still pretty new here)
    @boxmein: so does that mean we would be able to have buildings that can collapse if enough supports are destroyed?

    Ok, if there is an experimental build of this, where can I get it? And from searching the forums, it seems that this has been in development very long. Can @Simon gives us an ETA of this or are the developers going to be as tight-lipped about this as R* is about GTA 5?

    PS: GTA 5 FTW!!!!

    I have moving solids that do that in my mod, real moving solids would also do what boxmein said.

    The code for tpt++ is on github, so you can see the progress here. I have an experimental build on my mod github in the build folder, but it hasn't been updated in a long time, because tpt++ wasn't being updated. Now that it is again, I can put a new build up there, I'll post a link here when i'm done.

    Edit: If anyone wants to try tpt++, I have it here. Many things are missing or really ugly right now, but once all the features are re-added, the graphics and interface will be improved. Also, it crashes when it exits, i'm not sure why.

    You need the dll's. I have a link to the ones you need in my mod thread, or you may still have them in your powder toy folder. right now, tpt++ isn't anything interesting anyway, it's just an ugly version of tpt with lots of missing things.

    No moving solids or  ropes or anything yet?

    What made you think it was going to have moving solids? It's just a port to c++, the particle update and drawing code hasn't been changed much yet. Even if it is rewritten later, I don't think moving solids would be added.
