Why Remove Compression?

     If there is something like focuc mangement in TPT:

    if focus is set to a textbox, enable that function which repetas keys and if the textbox looses the focus just disable it again.

     

    BTW: Why are there functions for sound playing in main.c?

    That would be possible since there is a focus variable for each textbox. I already did it another way for my mod though by calling the function once before an interface with a textbox comes up.

    tpt can play sound files. Create a shortcut to tpt and then add the argument sound to the shortcut. Then go into the console and type !sound something.wav. The wav file will then play, and only wav files can be played.

     Ok, will that key holding thing come in the offical version?

     

    And while reading through the source, I found something liek 'frame capuring'.

    What is that and how can you enable that?

     

    ps: i found a tying mistake in the comments of SDLMain.c:

    /* For some reaon, Apple removed setAppleMenu from the headers in 10.4,
     but the method still is there and works. To avoid warnings, we declare
     it ourselves here. */

    It should be reason, I think ;)

    It could be in the official version eventually.

    frame capturing looks like it takes pictures every few frames or something, but it's disabled in the source since INTERNAL isn't defined.

    And there are tons of typing errors everywhere in the source, even some element descriptions had spelling mistakes up until a while ago. Whenever I see one, I fix it, but it doesn't matter too much since it's only a comment. (Also, I don't think any tpt developers wrote SDLMain.c, so there isn't anything tpt related in that.)

    We are getting sort of offtopic though, if you have any questions about the source, create another thread or something

     I am Moderator in another forum, so I am not the guy who creates tons of new threads because I know how annoying it is to have lots of minor threads. But in future I will create a new thread.

    ...well there is one solution other than modding, you could include instructions in your save like !set x iron 20 !set y iron 12 !set type iron pcln and such.  but i think thats too much to put in all my bombs and such

    I found another broken save due to the compresion change. It was on the front page.

     

    If it was removed due to it being able to cause lag then that isnt a good reason because if everything that could cause lag was removed then there wouldnt be anything left.

     

    EDIT:

    I have found a large bug caused by the bhol thing:

    fighters with there heads near each other turn to bhol.

    I think that is a fairly major bug and another reason compresion should be un-removed.

    Ok, how about compressed wifi? As a sort of wifi compression hacker tool? Also, I already know some who've made it, but how do you heat every tiny bit together? do you make (i dunno..) a "dough" or a big glob of wifi, heat it up so everything is kinda different colours, and compress it?

     

    There's another way to compress stuff, circovik found it out, the old method was. however, its only really deuterium and thunder that you can compress..
