Hey, this is open for anyone! how does pt save stamps? what exactly is the file format .stm? are there any ways that the stm file can be edited without the powdertoy?Also, pt should be able to import .gif format where layer one is elements, layer two is pressure, layer 3 is heat, so on
no duh, i asked HOW? also, my pt won't keep me logged in, I know that a text file that had a line starting with "MOFO" controlled this, so i could essentially make my own text file that tells it what it needs, but I don't remember what you need to have in the text file... this question is added on to my previous one, but that one is still as active as ever.
HeyJD: before making a non-contributing post and correcting other users PLEASE know what you are talking about first. That is a file extension, let me explain with 2 definitions:
"A file format is a particular way that information is encoded for storage in a computer file."
"A filename extension is a suffix to the name of a computer file applied to indicate the encoding convention (file format) of its contents."
Any talk in this talk is about a/the format for/of TPT, not an/the extension for/of it.
If TPT could be made to import files encoded as "abbreviation,temp" and at the end have "1" for wall or "0" for no wall for each pixel, left to right up to down, it would be extremely useful.
I'm sorry if I came off as if I wanted a fight but your post was... well a bit random and it was incorrect (not trying to be picky), I'll explain why I posted what I did. You may actually know a good deal on the topic but you still posted something incorrect and random that answered no ones question. The questions were what is .stm (accidental but still a question) and the encoding of it, I did not see an answer the the unaswered in your post, only a (incorrectly phrased) statement of what .stm is. Also Nowhere in my post did I mention ".stm", let alone discredit (or infer to discredit) it as TPT's stamp extension.
As pointed above I wasn't trying to be picky or anger you, I apologize if I came off that way. Not everyone may now what you mean, for instance I meant to discredit the content of your post, and tell you not to post answered questions off topic-ly, more than you for posting it, though you took it the other way (as is understandable because not everyone sees everything the same way). I really didn't intend to put any future focus on it either and continued to talk about the topic even further in my post, please don't take it as a personal attack but as a correction.
bchandark That's not necessarily true. One could rip the code for reading/saving stamps, then perform an operation on the stamp data (I was going to do this for Rotating/Flipping stamps)
