SUPER elements (mods only)

    FOR MODS ONLY! These would be extreme elements that can do extraordinary things outside of the normal element paramaters. The reason I say mods only, is because the game would have to be majorly recoded. Please try not to break it though. Here's a few, some have been suggested before, if anyone wants to tackle them:

     

    SOND: Sound, a channel based sound player

    INTI and INTO: Inter-window portal. A portal that saves elements (limited) to an output file and is set to a specific save ID. When that save is opened the elements are extracted into it. Should simultaniously read and write. Could also have temp channels (controlled by different files)

    PPRO: Automatic property editor, changes a property when activated.

    OPEN: ques a set save when activated

    RCRD: Sound recorder for custom sounds, records to a sound file when activated (playback with SOND or different element?) (obviously, you need a microphone)

    WINDOW PORTAL??  the possibilities!!

     

    you could link two things together, like the powerplant/reactor  to an actual CITY that uses the power sent from that other save!

     


    THE POTENTIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don't know where you got your claims. There are no tech limitations that will have to adhere to your clauses.

    SOND:: Umh. Some ideas were thrown around, Skylark some time ago even thought about real implementation, but around that I haven't a clue.
    INTI and INTO:: Not impossible. Could be practical. Not instantaneous though. Handling this via files is impractical since files have to be locked to use them and it utilizes the hard drive which by nature is slow.
    PPRO:: Prop? I don't get it.
    OPEN:: So much use for exploitation. Also, in TPT++ you can't queue saves anymore as far as I know.
    RCRD:: oh god

    MOVE- grab elements within the field and drag wherever you want, basically a fast way to cut and paste.

    Not a thread for suggesting elements!
