Elements that show tmp2

  • 12Me21     22nd Oct 2015 Member 0 Permalink

    elements that currently show their tmp2:

    CRAY,DRAY,EXOT,LIGH,SOAP,TRON,VIBR,VIRS,WARP

    other elements that use tmp2:

    LCRY,BUBW,VINE,COAL,PBCN,PLNT,FIGH,TSNS,QRTZ,PSNS,DTEC,STOR,CRMC,PIPE,PSTN


    All of these should show tmp2.

    Thanks, some of those probably should show tmp2. I guess jBot-42 didn't add them. PSTN he already submitted a pull request to fix, but I was going to do some other stuff and fix it myself.

    VINE i'm not sure if it needs it (it is a temperature, which is hard to read in Kelvin in .tmp2), same with COAL and PLNT

    STOR and PIPE I specifically had jBot-42 remove from displaying, because they are just used as extra space to store what the particle is holding, also I don't think it is reset when the held particle moves away.

    Also some of those just might not be too useful to show. PBCN is just a decay timer. FIGH I have no idea why it uses .tmp2 at all, i'm pretty sure it is entirely useless. QRTZ and CRMC are just fancy speckles which you can already see by looking at it. And PSNS doesn't use tmp2 at all?

    When an element with tmp2 is placed into PIPE/PPIP, the element loses its tmp2! Could we get a fix for that as well?

    DTEC should show.  I believe that is how far away it affects FILT

    Actually it is detection radius.

    Anyway I added a bunch more in this commit: https://github.com/simtr/The-Powder-Toy/commit/dc679d7eb05e05f4952a7eb596d09228c9a72fbe

    We don't really have enough space to store it all. I guess I could do some fancy stuff to compress the properties PIPE uses for itself, but not sure I want to put in the work ...

    right, does tmp do something with DTEC?

    Seems to be used as an extra place to store the expanded GoL type. So basically not needed at all, it could be moved into .ctype just like I did for CRAY / DRAY. But at the moment I don't have a reason to.

    coal uses tmp2 to change color from heat. any element that uses tmp2 should show it. There is enough room.

    PIPE uses tmp2 to store the life of particles inside it. Also, there's no reason not to show tmp2 for WOOD, COAL, and QRTZ. It could be useful.
