    I could have started with any base for mine, I just happen to be using the Me4502 mod instead of the base version of TPT. Well I didn't wanna mess around with C compiling, so I took my copy of HxD hex editor for a bit of simple hacking work directly to the EXE file.

    I changed the title bar to say "HACKED TOY!" and the 4 letter element name for the neutron to "HACK". Not much of a mod, but I think it's better than nothing. Here's a screenshot of it.

    It is a mod. I just didn't start with the source code. I started with an EXE file instead. I said it's NOT MUCH of a mod. That means I didn't achieve anything impressive with this edit. However it IS still a mod.

    I don't have source. I edited the EXE file directly with a hex editor. Sorry, but I have no source code to show for my work.

    I didn't need to ask him. I didn't edit anything that he made, just stuff that is already in the normal TPT distrobution anyway. So even if he did add a stricter license to his elements, I didn't edit those, so the original license and permission given for editing by the TPT developers is all that applies to my edit.
    I only edited his, because that was my only copy I had, as I through out the original EXE file of the official TPT release from my harddrive because his version is superior to the official version.



    I have now proceded to do a further edit in the hex editor. The plasma temperature is exactly 10000degC. I had to convert that into Kelvins with a unit converter as K is the unit used in actual TPT code. Then I took that number (10273.15 Kelvins) and lowered it to only 5001K. This is the same as 4727.85degC. Below I have a screenshot of the mod featuring cooler plasma. Notice the temperature indicator for the plasma indeed shows 4727.85.

    My edit's didn't effect any of your modifications. They only effected things that were already in the official version of TPT.

    even if it didnt affect him your still using his elements in a 'mod' if its even enough to call it that rather than a waste of space
