I'm Just Wondering

    So, at the beginning of July or some month, my computer was fried by a power surge. And with great power surges comes great money spending. My Motherboard, CPU, and GPU were all replaced (Only the CPU did I already have a replacement for) by late September. So, during that 3 month "hiatus", I couldn't play TPT. Despite coming back and playing for a little over a month, I still have a few questions:

    1. Did anything major change? Or was it all minor stuff? Or nothing at all?

    2. Where did all the good people go? Like my "friends"?

    3. Any new people currently on the rise?

    4. Where did all the fun go?

    5. Where the hell is Jacob's RPG? Why can't I access it anymore?

    6. Anything I should know about?

    1. Uh, minor stuffies, I dunno.
    2. Died/Left/Wasted
    3. Me, with my Lua scripts.
    4. It is here, lol.
    5. The better question: What the hell is Jacob's RPG?
    6. I don't know if you should know something you don't know because I don't know what you know and what you don't know, but as far as I know, nope. Besides my scripts, you know.

    1. Here are all the changes starting from 2016-03-05 http://tpt.io/:21039
      Some notable changes:
      • 3D Mode (not as you probably expect :P).
      • Ceramic element.
      • Favourites category to store your favourite elements and have easy access to them.
      • Mix tool to scramble the positions of elements.
      Oh and @Simon gave access to some devs to change stuff with the website. Also @boxmein became a moderator!
    2. I think no well-known person in the community left during that period of time (or maybe I just don't remember), on the forums at least, because I'm not into what's happening in the game (I should though).
    3. Yes, but I don't remember all of them, so you should discover them yourself if you want :P
    4. What fun? if you are talking about forum games, they got removed for good reasons a lot of us agree on. This is an old thread, but whatever http://tpt.io/:14523
      That decision was made a long time ago, so I don't think that's what you were talking about.
    5. If you are talking about the RPG from the TPT puzzle, then yeah, I think it got removed because it's not needed anymore. @jacob1 made a post explaining how the puzzle was supposed to be solved with a link to all the files used to make the puzzle, might be useful for you http://tpt.io/.289098
    6. idk.


    Edit: I forgot to mention that an official android version of the game has been made! http://tpt.io/:20392

    The RPG is down because it has no reason that it would still need to be up. It was for a puzzle I made a year ago.

    I would bring it up and give you a link but it completely refuses to work. I'm not sure why, I just had it up as recent as a few weeks ago. node.js is being weird.

     Huh, I guess I should check out those scripts or something.

    @Mrprocom (View Post)

     1. I was around for some of that stuff.

     2. Ah, okay.

     3. I'll make sure to check them out.

     4. That was just a random question.

     5. It was extremely difficult yet fun.

     6. lol

    I'll try to get it working again. Since I do really love it.

    I'm not working on another community puzzle this year (if I was I would have done it a few months ago). I guess I don't have enough time.

     Thanks a lot!

     

    Oh, well the first one was the best thing I've ever done in TPT. Maybe the new one would come around at least 2 years from now.

    Got the RPG up and running again. It was actually working all along ... I just forgot that I block 3rd party scripts on some sites. It couldn't load jquery.
