    PPM format? i've never heard of it...and how do you turn it into a video?

  • ristovski

    Sometimes, the menu items stay highlighted (gray-ish) when you move through the element menu (electronics, walls, gases...etc) fast.

    PPM is just a simple format, we use it for video because it's very fast for writing (very little overhead when encoding). You can use a tool like ffmpeg to stitch a sequence of PPM files into a video
    ffmpeg -r 48 -b:v 1800 -i "frame_%06d.ppm" "film.mp4"
    Where 48 is the final framerate and 1800 is the bitrate, the higher this is, the better the quality.

    Pros:

    -text highlighting

    -right-click option

    -decoration menu

    -scrollable comments

     

    cons:

    -the new hud doesn't display gravity, parts, pressure etc.

    -very laggy UI

    -the console sends back data that most users can understand

    -some stamps are elongated
