Okay, my previous thread about compiling tpt is done. I managed to compile TPT using visual C++ 2010 express.

This is what i did till now:

Configured vc++ according to wiki, and hit f7. After waiting for some time, the build finished, and i got a .exe TPT file in the build folder.

Now i need to code elements. I read the wiki article on this, but it doesn't say how to add them. So i made this thread.
Questions:

1)When should i run generator.py?

2)How do i add a coded element?


Based on firefreak11's instructions, this is what i did till now:

1)Opened elementclasses.h and added a #define for my element and also made a class at the end of the file.(copied and pasted DUST's class code and changed identifiers.)

2)Opened elementclasses.cpp and added my element.

3)Made a .cpp file in src\simulation\element with my element's name.

4)Copied the code from DUST, changed the identifiers, and a few values here and there.
5)Ran generator.py (Is randomly running it okay? because i ran it a few times when i got python, to see what would happen =P)
6)Checked the .exe in the build folder. Not updated.
Now how to proceed? Should i build solution again?

Elementclasses.h or elementclasses.cpp?
Now should i just delete what i added?

I added it right, or at least like how the remaining elements are added. How do i get the elements into the mod?

NONONO my mod. The mod of tpt that i hope to create. A completely new mod. And i want the element i coded to appear in the mod.
