    Whatever you do, do NOT randomly run the python file. This completely destroyed my project for days, and it is a terrible thing to have happen.

    Either use the generator, or don't. Preferably use it. Change all the directive comments to say DERP and not BGLA, but probably you didn't change the I'd from 46. I think the last element added was 172, so you should use 173, but I can't remember. Open up elementclasses.h if you want to check, also make sure its in at the end of elementclasses.cpp.

    Did you compile it after you added the element?

     yes, it completely ruined mine and i had to delete all my source and download it again from my thread and re-code all my new stuff for the next version that i had been working on.

    And if ALL else fails, there's the same thing generator.py generates at the end of http://boxmein.x10.mx/tptelements/

    Boxmein's solution is a total success.

    Better safe than sorry. True that.

    OKAY
    I made a new folder, re extracted the TPT source, required libraries and made a new VC++ project. Now no more generator.py messups. But i did what i did before, coding element DERP, and it did not appear in the mod.
    @boxmein (View Post)
    I did that, but nothing happened.

    How does the .exe in builds folder work? Does it read src\simulation\elements everytime to include new elements? I don't think so. That's why i said i still must be missing something. HELP PLEASE....
