    Jacob1's Mod, tpt's longest lasting and most popular mod. My overall goal isn't to add a bunch of elements you can forget about, it's to create a more stable tpt version with lots of new features and improvements not fit for the official version, such as embeded TPT Multiplayer and Script Manager, multiple tabs, improved UI, and more.

    Current Version: 56.2 (build 163)

    Help / More Info
    To see detailed explanations of some of the new features/elements this mod has, or for a complete version history, look at the readme

    The favorites menu has been the center of most things in the mod, since the beginning (now in official version). To "favorite" an element, ctrl+shift click it from any menu, and it will get a yellow heart on it. To unfavorite it, ctrl+shift+right click it instead. Any recently used elements also will appear in the menu for the duration of the play session. If you click the MORE button, a new menu will appear with more options. HUDs are customizable using the HUD2 button. The FIND button colors whatever element you have selected red, and dims everything else (now in official version). The INFO button displays statistics about how long and how many times you have played powder toy, your average and highest FPS, and info about the current save. SPIN controls whether moving solids can rotate or not, it may be a little ugly. REAL toggles realistic heat mode, which adds latent heat and several other things (made by savask years ago, not up to date). DATE toggles the date format used for comment timestamps. HEAT and LUA are explained in the readme.

    jacob1:

    I will add moving solids next, and then I will start adding new elements. I will take any suggestions, no matter how hard they are to code, and if I like it, I will try to add it in.


    ZOMG!!!!
    Are you sure this isn't going to run at 1 fps?

    I have moving solids in my Lua script, go to the lua section of the forums and click on the topic favorite elements menu. Once you have it, just draw EQVE. It's a little glitchy, but it won't create any lag at all.

    Just wondering when will the next update come cause personally i really cant wait
    n for a suggestion:
    For your lua mod make it where you press a button under special called "FAVS" n then it will bring up all of your fav elements instead of already being there which is kinda crowded

    The update with the moving solids might be finished this week depending on how much time I have. If not, i'll do it next weekend. Also, I added what you said to my lua script, if I understood you correctly. There is an arrow you can click to hide/unhide the menu, and it looks cool when you click it.
