TPT file transfer v2
-
This is a new version of my tpt file transfer, it works in 78.0b and later since there is a new save format - OPS
It is much easier to use, just load the script (dofile,require or autorun)
to upload type upload()
to download type download()
follow the steps and it works
download script here,

it can store up to 3.3 MB in a save
any feedback is welcome -

Why would this be punishable by ban if used? Can you exactly explain what this does anyways? I'm not fully understanding what this does. -

Well.. He may not want people to use the code to use TPT's saves as a file uploading site. -

Maybe you can make it so that it only will upload and run lua scripts, and then use a lua sandbox. I think that would get rid of the only two reason Simon wouldn't allow this, because the server wouldn't be filled with saves that have downloads of random things, viruses, or lua viruses. I have an example of a lua sandbox at the bottom of luaconsole.c on github, you could probably find it online easily too. I only made a few changes from what I found. -

Sorry for being naive but what exactly would happen if you used this for files? It would take up space? -

It's a lua script to embed arbitrary binary data inside particle properties. It could be used to store files inside TPT saves.
The server is for sharing things made in Powder Toy, not for sharing images or other random files. That is why uploading saves made using this script is not allowed (and why image plotting is not allowed in uploaded saves either). It takes up space, and is not the intended purpose of the server.
