Riptiers's TPT mod

  • Riptier1     16th Apr 2021 Member 0 Permalink

    Don't get hyped when I tell you the features. My mod isn't even ready for a trailer, just a (small) bunch of code. About 2 years+ to complete. (It will take me a while to code cuz I am still learning C++/Lua, this is my learning project.)

     

    1: MENU

    A full-scale menu for TPT, easy access to all installed mods, modpacks, in-game wiki (really just a mini web browser, like steam'.) and FAQ, tutorials.

     

    2:TPT: Space!

    Clique plot, You get stranded on a planet, unlock TPT material's, progress.

     

    3:TPT: Orbit

    Make planets in a solar system. Each planet isn't loaded, to save lag. That means no impacts. Really just a moving save browser, that you can call a solar system.

     

    4:I have no idea

    Since I have a while to develop, I have time for more ideas

    Moved to 'General' (not sure where else it belongs)

    This is extremely ambitious for a first mod. I would consider reducing the scope, because the 2+ years you estimated is a huge commitment. These are very complex tasks even for an experienced programmer.

    No, not really. I probably shouldn't have given an estimate, I have no idea how long this will take to code.

     

    A menu screen is easy. (I hope)

    A moving save browser (Tpt: Orbit) with some maths to make it move in a circle, slightly hard.

    Tpt: Space has already been made, but not with the focus of space exploration. Remember those mods where you have to create each element?
