    previously, it only let you connect if you had a TPT account. Letting Guests join is just a feature I added based on irc. I don't think that we should let people change names to whatever they want, because there is no way at all to tell who is really joining, right now names are all we have. If anyone can join as any name it would just make it a little more confusing / chaotic.

    Maybe some type of account system could be added later though.

    Oh. (So I guess I shouldn't release my mod of it?)

    well I guess it's ok to release it. But changing nicks would require you to /quit the server currently, make sure you aren't just changing it locally

    Actually, it automatically disconnects, renames, then connects again.

    this is really awesome!

    the only thing I would note is that manipulating elements with the console does not sync. that leaves one player with a fantastic explosion for example meanwhile the element has not changed on the other end.

    I'll try to add that to my mod tomorrow. It probably won't ever be included in the main version though - it would be too sketchy.

    A new version is out, due to changes in the server and client, you need you update your client script before you can connect again.

    I noticed something similar, except on Mac. however unlike your screenshot, I'm using version 7 with the binary from this website. for some odd reason it still says 89.0 even when I downloaded the latest version, but only on Mac.

    edit: to clarify,the Windows executable is just fine. but even frshly installing on Mac seems to not have a different version number. so either packaging fault on the website or the mac I use is acting weird.

    There is no 89.2 mac version anymore, it got taken off because it didn't run for many people not on the latest version (10.9). You can try downloading it here still: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Download/Build.html?ID=283 , maybe it will work.

    If that doesn't, type this into the console: "tpt.version.minor = 2", this will make it think you are on 89.2.

    that's my fault :P, when I was making it compatible with my mod (which I had updated to the 89.2 beta before 89.2 was official), I couldn't connect to the server so I put tpt.version.minor = 0 into the source directly. It never got removed, and then that happened.
