Pressure/Velocity Grid Size
-
I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Is there any way to change the current pressure grid (4x4 spaces alligned with walls) to be smaller, such as 2x2 or 1x1 spacing? I figure that while it would lower FPS, it would also be very useful when making pressure/velocity dependent saves (such as wind tunnels).
In case you're having trouble seeing what I'm talking about, here's a picture:

This cannot be done via lua. The size is hardcoded.

If you really want to change the size of pressure cells, you would have to obtain the source code for TPT, modify a variable in the code (namely CELL in Config.h), and compile. CELL is set to 4 by default. Every time you want to change the cell size, you have to recompile TPT.

I have done this in the past (on my laptop). I spent more time compiling than I spent actually using it :P
It is very fun honestly, and you get to see cool stuff like vortex shedding, but you can't load saves/stamps, so everything has to be made 100% from scratch. -
That's all a shame, it would be neat to see an ingame setting for this. Maybe I'll make a test TPT folder for this. I already have things like my stamps backed up.
Thanks for the information everyone! Can't wait to test this out when I get the chance.

Everyone keeps telling me my computer would explode, so maybe it's best if I just stick to the current system. Also, I've been wanting to try my hand at modifying TPT, and this gives me an excuse. Thanks for the offer, though.
