Mod request (to any modder interested)
-
Well, I am new in the forums, and I love TPT. The idea of a "simulator of anything" is great and there is nothing to compalain of.
What I want - I really don't have the patience and the knowledge needed to do it myself - is the following:IF we have tons of mods, why not to merge them together into a all-in-one mod with all the elements ever made by users? I liked Jacob1 mod very much but I feel I need more elements to play with. Much more.
Why not?
I believe it would be easy for a modder to gather elements from other mods and join them all into one TPT port, to give us a chance to experiment with everything ever made without having to install separate mods and play with each one individually.
There is a way to do it?
There is someone else who wish something like this?
Hope I'm not the only one. :)

What sometimes makes me wonder is: why no one tried to make an element maker for TPT, something easy to use that could do all the scripting for the user and store it in a file, that could be loaded in the start of tpt to add the custom elements to the game without altering it in any way.
With such tool anyone would be able to produce tons of custom elements and if could be a nice way to interact with other users sharing the custom scripts (that could include the name of the author in the element description). -
I actually started creating a similar thing (https://github.com/,nucular/reactor) but didn't get around to build more than a simple GUI for it. It would generate both Lua element code and C++ code, most likely including a simple reaction system for the update function.

Seems promising just for the initiative but the link you`ve posted is broken. :(
By the way, you seem to be the person to explain me easily how can I do the thing.
I have an element lua script and I want to put it in my game. How can I do to automatically load it? And how can I put more than one element into a single script? Can you help me with that? -
I'm actually planning to make one for c++ mods after I finish the tesseract Minecraft launcher
idk I don't know much about lua

For loading it whenever Powder Toy fires up, change the script file's name to autorun.lua. To have more elements in a singe script, simply... put more elements in a single script.

Thank you, bro. I was missing some things: lack of attention is something I fight daily to live with.
OK, I managed to put scripts working, installed the autorun script manager to help me and now I have a special request.I want to gather elements, but I am poor in understanding Lua coding to fix the scripts and do them working together ,so, here's what I need:
Does anyone has a HUGE Lua Element collection in a single script?I desperately need it, I'm eager to mess around with different stuff, and I am the kind of people who like big numbers, so, I'd be grateful infinitely if someone could share with me such thing case it exist.
