Clan Battles
-
In TPT, we have a bunch of clans that make everything from lasers to cities. Since there is already a multiplayer function in which users can all work on the same save, at once if I'm not mistaken, I think it'd be an interesting idea to have it so clans can verse other clans.
We can already do so, yes, but I'm not sure if it's made public to the people. Basically, clan versus clan would be a public thing. Maybe an entire page on the game dedicated to clans facing each other to see who can make the best laser. That, or the clans choose an option to create a save, then send it to another clan for them to try and make a better save. The clan with the highest voted save wins the clan vs clan and gains a win mark on their web page.
On their web page, it shows who they faced and by how many votes they won by. Also, you can only vote on the save of one clan over the other, so you must choose wisely. This should also make for easier access to apply to any clan you want.
Another thing, a moderator, like jacob1, can tell two clans to compete and tell them what to create.
Actually, instead of their own page, put the two saves on the FP. Then make it so only one clan v clan can happen until the next one to save frront page space. After every clan fight, the two clans have to wait a week or two before facing another clan.

Its very hard to work on something in TPTmp, most of the time it involves someone who has too much fun hitting the refresh button and then other fu**cknuts scribbling random elements over the screen.
Also, i dont know the inner workings of tptmp, but it seems like your fps is only as fast as the person with the lowest fps, so if someone has a crap computer, it will ruin the experience for everyone else, while being unfair to the other person.
It really sounds like youre trying to make TPT something that it isnt, or never will be. Have you considered another game, minecraft persay? Its pretty fun making TNT cannons

We're doing TPTMP 1.0 eventually, which will allow many more things to be done with it (like addons to prevent reload spam). It's actually 95% done. It just needs a few more things and then I will release it.
I think if we did this, it would be entirely through TPTMP. It wouldn't have any interaction with the actual website. But there are still a lot of possibilities. -
Damn. I didn't think you'd actually take this into consideration. I've never toyed with TPTMP because I don't believe 60fps is good enough. Maybe if I get 120fps, I'll play, but even one of my bombs, on Solace, lags mmy computer quite spectacularly. Also, on an unrelated note from this thread, but related to bombs. Is lightning supposed to go through Wall? I copied and pasted a lightning bomb in a bomb test center and arcs of lightning went through the walls of the test center and hit the other two. Is that a bug?

Well, i'm barely considering it, i'm just saying it's actually possible. At least, the basic idea behind it. We already have TPTMP, it would just need a plugin to divide people into groups. And idk how voting would work. And it wouldn't interact with the actual site. It's a very basic version of your suggestion, but that version isn't very complicated.
I don't think TPTMP has enough users to make this possible though. Although I hope to advertise it more once 1.0 is out. -

No that's not a bug, it's how lightning works
Also 120fps..... So you're raising the cap on the simulation speed so everything goes way faster than it should, ok. Getting 120fps is only gonna happen with an empty screen.
According to my math, on a 4.8ghz processor it takes about .12ns/particle, which is 262k parts at 30fps, and you want to divide that by four, so you'd need some processor running at over 20ghz for 120fps.
Tptmp itself won't give you worse fps (or worst case scenario maybe 1-2fps), it's other people with weak machines

That's a cool idea, it's entirely possible too since we already have TPTMP. I'm not sure if the community size is enough for that though, hopefully it is.

You can't get 120FPS in the game unless you run a command to change the FPS limit from 60 to 120.
Note: That will not higher your performance, it will only change the FPS limit.

Instead of advertising it, why not add it to the official version of the game? it will make a lot more people aware of it. -
And a lot more people will troll, spam reload, etc.

I think if you just created groups here on the website, and then just scheduled times for everyone to work on the project that would be set by the two competing clans, you wouldn't actually need any extra software to make this work. You'd just want to carefully consider before adding members to your clan, to keep out the riffraff. If someone wanted to just create a clan group, and invite members, you could divide that group into two groups to make sure you have equally matched groups for the challenge. If anyone wanted to join me in starting this up, I think it would be lots of fun.

Honestly if there is a / multiple TPT celeb(s) is in a clan, then a load of people will vote the cleleb(s) up and it would be an unbalanced mess.
However a vote ratio / mod opinion would (hopefully) make this system fairly balanced.
