    I think you should probably change the update URL to the new one.
    Also, what's going to be in your next update?

    Well, changing the update url for starters :P

    I'll also maybe be adding timestamps to TPTMP, and possibly an anti-aliased line tool if I can get it to work well.

    Okay, thanks to @wolfy1339 I finally have it working with LuaJIT - scripts should run at least twice as fast on my mod. I can't compile it for Windows for some reason, but I'll release it once I do.

     

    EDIT: The update is completely released. Along with a 200-500% speed increase for Lua, it has a new element - HEAT- that can be used to control the temperature of surrounding particles.

    Update: My previous estimates were wrong; it actually runs Lua nearly 10x faster than standard TPT. For a speed tester I used, my mod took 0.018 seconds, while normal TPT takes about 0.94 seconds.

     

    EDIT: Sorry for triple-posting, I could have sworn I'd seen someone else post.

    What were you testing / where do those numbers come from?

    I was testing the speed of a benchmarking script (mostly processing arrays, but doing some other stuff too), on my mod and on the official TPT build.

    Maybe some tests on actual scripts would be nice. Of course scripts using only lua are going to be faster, but what about scripts that make constant calls to the tpt apis (basically every script). There are many lua element scripts that are extremely slow and seeing the speed of these would be interesting.

    That's a good idea, I'll try it later.

    I tested it on various scripts people made, pretty much no difference at all...
