town-square

[candid drift]

Yes

[tidal night]

Did you use diagonal roads?

Nice looking city btw

Has that rural farm feel to it

[candid drift]

I dont like diagonal roads, because they are narrow

City population: 6181

[tidal night]

I tried them and got nothing but headaches

Is this an actual game or sandbox

[candid drift]

This is sandbox XD

It is now half past nine o'clock in poland

[fickle lynx]

what's wrong with cul-de-sacs?

[echo swift]

Yeah, I really agree. Thought I was the only person who dont really like diagonals

[hybrid oyster]

I thought the same

they look kinda weird

and too thin, too

[tidal night]

Feels like you are trapped.

[hybrid oyster]

never have seen a cul-de-sac

post soviet gang

[tidal night]

I saw a tv movie back during the nuclear age which was early eighties where USSR now known as Russia here in the states and US stockpiling nuclear missiles. This tv movie titled (if I remember right) The Day After and at the end it showed a very realistic scenario if it did happen. In one of the scenes you see people living in a cul-de-sac trying to get out and couldn't cause none we're letting them out. I was around 14 or 15 seeing this and I told my dad I'll never live in one but then again I wouldn't be leaving my house if I there was a nuclear missile hitting near my area.

But that goes for any emergencies like floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, alien invasions, etc.

[clever thicket]

I think cul de sacs are typical for American suburbs?

[hybrid oyster]

(Not trying to be a nerd, but USSR and russia aren't the same thing)

[tidal night]

Yup, they are.

[clever thicket]

Thats what the want you to think xD

[tidal night]

You're right it's the same.

[hybrid oyster]

USSR is the union of several countries and russia was the main

but maybe you're joking

when I hear about cul-de-sacs I imagine that street from gta sa

they are kinda weird but not that much wrong for me

it's american suburb anyway lol

[tidal night]

The way I understood it when Russia was communistic it was mostly known as USSR now they're supposedly no longer under communistic rule so it's Russia.

[hybrid oyster]

well technically USSR is mostly known like it's one country

not much into that stuff

[tidal night]

Remember I was only 14 so world stuff I didn't care about. Lol

[hybrid oyster]

russia and USSR were probably like england and UK

..or not

nvm yeah I don't know much

[clever thicket]

I am 14 xD

[hybrid oyster]

maybe it's time to switch topic

[tidal night]

Well at that time Russia pretty much owned the middle Europe

[fickle lynx]

if we were talking about the USSR, then it would also mean where i'm living right now, which isn't the same as russia

[tidal night]

Yea

[fickle lynx]

i live in lithuania

the ussr owned a lot of eastern europe

[hybrid oyster]

me waiting until we got new president and the pain stops 😔

wait that's not going to happen

[clever thicket]

Today Russia is also Influent in Europe and post-soviet countries

[tidal night]

Here's something crazy......

And no I'm not trying to say my country is better than yours kind of thing......(mumbles to self)even if it's true.....

[mellow kettle]

Here's a crazier thing

#general

[hybrid oyster]

🤨

yeah we have gone from discussing cul de sacs to discussing post soviet russia

[tidal night]

Actually not crazy. Smart

[hybrid oyster]

So i just bet 20 diamonds in casino and i won and the game also crash but its worth it

[stoic flint]

I have been playing for years and I didn't knew you could do this

Sacrifices had to be made

[next meteor]

Can you build in space in this game?

[celest moon]

Ye you can

What do you think?

[vital igloo]

cool

[safe echo]

how to add night frames ? I try this but it doén't work

[hybrid oyster]

That's not how it works

[safe echo]

how to add night frames ?

[jovial igloo]

https://youtu.be/vlpQS0FsCt8

Uhh.. maybe this will help?

[hybrid oyster]

First of all, you'll probably need a frame which will drawn on top of the building itself

(it doesn't change frame)

As example, it can be just glowing windows

Your frame would work too with some settings, though

[safe echo]

thank you 😄

[opaque kestrel]

Guys

It doesnt seems right

[vital igloo]

what

[tawny juniper]

Oh your demands are soo low

Build commercial zones

[next meteor]

What does it mean if the color thing in the demand's section go below the line?

[vital igloo]

@next meteor it means that there is no request for that zone.

[safe kettle]

and this type will move out until it goes up

[vital igloo]

Wait they move out if it's not requested?

[tawny juniper]

Yes they will move out..

If your demand bars are super low they will move out

[harsh fractal]

How did you but planes on the taxiway?

[jovial igloo]

Probably a decor

[harsh fractal]

Ah

Well that makes sense

[hybrid oyster]

fully modular building with random night frames

[harsh fractal]

Ohh, that’s great

[echo swift]

Good for governmental buildings in roleplays

[hybrid oyster]

maybe it's time to add different variations

I think I finished the scripts...

[dreamy herald]

My city gets messy very fast

And when I unlock something like trains i have no place to place them

[vital igloo]

Shouldn't this be in #plugin-discussion

[echo swift]

This is town square, if it was in city showcase it would be wrong)(like how I did)

[hybrid oyster]

idk this is more like showing off to public

[echo swift]

This is very general talk for theotown

Soo everything related to TT is okay

[vital igloo]

Yes and everyone in #plugin-discussion shows their plugins too.

To public auditory.

[hybrid oyster]

not really plugin showing

more of plugin discussion

[vital igloo]

I never said it should be in #city-showcase

[vital igloo]

Is that plugin yours?

[hybrid oyster]

yes

[vital igloo]

Well then...

[echo swift]

Ya I know lol, I just said that I broke the rules there

[safe echo]

you buffoon

[echo swift]

Activate windows or we are going to beat you

[safe echo]

give me some money to activate windows pls :))))

[echo swift]

They arent expensive in my country

[echo swift]

you need something to eat or watch wihle waiting for TT load after you add another plugin to the tousands of images

[marsh mesa]

Gimme your credit card to activate mine

[echo swift]

middle price is like 2 kebabs here

[marsh mesa]

And... how much is it on USD?

[echo swift]

30/7 around 3 dollars

[echo swift]

o wait thats the old one. It is like 1 dollar is 9 now

[marsh mesa]

Wait... only one dollar?

[frigid jetty]

For my next city i'm planning to do site of a historical center with old bulidings

Any ideas to reduce rocket tests accidents?

[short hedge]

Can someone make a pack that have more types of cars

Moving cars

[sly pier]

stop testing them.

[noble verge]

removing silos?

[sly pier]

yup

as far as I know, you can't really "decrease" the amount of accidents as long as you have them built

[noble verge]

Aight, thanks

Ah, now i see why

[next meteor]

Is there a difference between the dense version of the zone and the non dense version?

[wispy dirge]

If it's dence it will make dencly populated buildings like towers etc, if it's just the regular version it will make stuff like houses etc

I'm not the best at explaining but hope it helps

[vital igloo]

You explained it very well

[wispy dirge]

Thanks

[vital igloo]

Dense = bigger buildings
No dense = no big buildings

[safe echo]

One pillar Pagoda in Hanoi, Vietnam

[jovial igloo]

Probably #plugin-discussion ?

But well since it related to TT to i guess its ok to be here to

[safe echo]

How to remote the water that i circled ?

[sly pier]

that is beautiful 10/10

[burnt kestrel]

Actual never I think, anh

The issue is: You need to make extra land for it, I think.

[safe kettle]

make it placeable on ground, not water

and enable water frames or whatever it was called

"draw water"

[safe echo]

Thank you

[crisp roost]

A little bug that i found

Is it ok if I post this?

[safe kettle]

where's the bug?

[crisp roost]

Look at the ship

That is the bug

[safe kettle]

that's a plugin

so you should contact the author

[crisp roost]

God forgot about that

Ye im kind of forgot about the Plug in

Srry

[safe kettle]

it's no problem, do you know whose plugin it is?

[next meteor]

Is the dense version of a zone for the wealthy people only?

[sly pier]

mmhh I was gonna answer that but I don't really know the answer for your question either, in my experience I gues the denser zones just kinda give more tax and I guess give more way to wealthy buildings

[next meteor]

Thanks for the answer tho, really appreciate it

Alsoo, what is the difference between the Farm zone and the Industrial Zone

All I know is that the Industrial Zone comes with noise and pollution

[sly pier]

the industrial zones builds factories and the farm zones builds, well farms

I dont think the farm zone has pollution and noise, but it brings less tax

[next meteor]

Ohhh

Thaank youu

[sly pier]

also the harbour zone is the same with farms, except it builds harbors on the sea when its placed near water, and it brings noise and pollution, same with normal industrial

[next meteor]

How much space is the widest zone you can build?

[vital igloo]

Literally no limit for it

But the thing is that if you build big gaps then there will be no buildings in middle :)

[honest crane]

What is the use of game space ? Can anyone say 🙏🏻

[next meteor]

Is the 6x6 zone the largest zone that will not leave any empty space?

[fickle lynx]

8x8 i think.

[vital igloo]

Probably

But might be 10x10 if you have large enough plugin

Or larger

[next meteor]

Can anyone suggest what can I do

To fix this

[safe echo]

should i upload them in a pack or in separated plugins?

[jovial igloo]

In a pack

[vague matrix]

the buildings look way too blurry

[safe echo]

i will fix it

[compact schooner]

Idk why, but im pretty sure we have the wrong number on #tips-n-tricks.

[fallow dust]

i- how did i miss took that as japan

[vague matrix]

well

[safe echo]

Dien Huu Pagoda, built in 1049 in Vietnam under Ly dynasty

[vague matrix]

i cant be bothered to contact like 5 poeple to fix the numbers

why does that look like a game render

[safe echo]

it is from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne5b4SwvSmw&ab_channel=VNI3D%2FVR

[mellow kettle]

their system collapsed

[sly pier]

people are reacting with chinese flag emoji lmao

[safe echo]

Vietnam and China are both part of the Sinosphere, so Vietnamese culture is very similar to Chinese culture

Chinese culture, Japanese culture, Vietnamese culture and Korean culture (South Korea & North Korea) are generally considered to be principal cultures in the East Asian cultural sphere.

[short gulch]

which plugins do you guys prefer?

[safe echo]

i prefer my plugins 😆

[celest moon]

A plugin with night animation, or just look cool

[hybrid oyster]

I like the idea of big plugins/packs more

And I think I'll focus them in my career

[sly pier]

a plugin with rotating frames

[hybrid oyster]

But single buildings are nice if they're good quality

You probably need TTT requirements or smth

[jovial igloo]

[jovial igloo]

I suggest removing the TTT

How to go to the moon?

[marble holly]

Hey guys, Im getting a new device soon (android) I wanna know how to transfer my maps and plugins to it. Anyone Knows how?

[jovial igloo]

I would like to help but im in a meeting right now

[marble holly]

ok.

[celest moon]

Pfaq file

[formal pike]

Files

TheoTown files are located under such directories:

▪︎ Windows: C:\Users\(insert username)\TheoTown
▪︎ Linux: /home/$USER/TheoTown
▪︎ MacOS: /user/TheoTown
▪︎ Android: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files
Reinstalling the game for Android will delete all files, unless you decide to keep the files when prompted by uninstaller.

Alternatively, you can access the files through in-built TheoTown file manager, accessible through the in-game menu.

You can find your plugin, music, region and city files there as well as logs for debugging purposes.

#15

[marble holly]

?

Sorry, im new to theotown

[celest moon]

To transfer map or plugin i think you need to do something with the file?

[marble holly]

Can you tell me how?

[celest moon]

Idk I'm not a theotown veterans but i think is possible

[marble holly]

Im getting a new phone very soon and i want to know how to transfer my game maps

Any ideas anyone?

[versed timber]

Use smart switch

[marble holly]

The app?

Ok.

[versed timber]

yeah it should allow you to transfer stuff

[marble holly]

ok i have it.

So how can i do it?

[versed timber]

Once you have the new device download it there too

and that will allow you to transfer everything

[marble holly]

Will i still need my original device?

[versed timber]

yeah

[marble holly]

well, im doing a trade in

[versed timber]

or you could transfer the files with another device, maybe a PC

[marble holly]

i only have a mac

[versed timber]

that will be fine

[marble holly]

ok. what can i do?

[versed timber]

once on your mac Go to this file location /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files
and move everything there to the mac

[marble holly]

ok.

Then keep it there until i get my new phone?

[versed timber]

yep!

[marble holly]

So go to settings>storage

THen transfer?

[pallid parcel]

Diamonds and In-App purchases will be automatically synced if you access with your Google account

[versed timber]

If I were you i'd use a USB

[pallid parcel]

*From the FAQ forum page

[marble holly]

Do i have to? Or can i do it wirelessy?

Im still confused

[versed timber]

Well I have never tried to do it wirelessly. Using a cord makes it much easier

[marble holly]

I dont own one.

[marble holly]

._.

[versed timber]

How do you charge your device?

[marble holly]

Oh, nvm

[versed timber]

lmao

[marble holly]

I got it, had to use a converter to mac

[versed timber]

yeah there ya go

[marble holly]

and i use wireless.

[versed timber]

👀

[marble holly]

Ok, i got that done

[versed timber]

Sounds like the cards were just against you

[marble holly]

Yeah. Im on the clock

I dont have much time

So whats my next step?

[versed timber]

take the files from /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files and put them on your Mac

[marble holly]

Within theotown or settings?

[marble holly]

Ok, so after i transfer, i do it to my new andoid?

[versed timber]

Yeah then you take the files from your make and move them to that file location on your new device

[marble holly]

Ok, so i enter settings in theotown and then look for the folders.

Right?

[versed timber]

are you in the actual game?

[marble holly]

Yeah

[versed timber]

you should be able to just see the files from your mac

[marble holly]

I in theotown in android

So i just go to settings

[versed timber]

You don't have to be.

[marble holly]

?

[versed timber]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ikNqOUlKrU

give this a go

I haven't tried this since I don't have a Mac, so a visual might be best for you

[marble holly]

Ok. I did what it said, and its all good.

Just need to know how to get files into the theotown folder

From theotown

[versed timber]

You don't need to do it in the game

[marble holly]

So how can i? Its showing nothing in the folder.

[versed timber]

They might be in the old file location still

[marble holly]

There are no items there

I just want to know how can i move the map data

[marble holly]

Can i?

[versed timber]

Check here ▪︎ Android: /storage/emulated/0/TheoTown

[marble holly]

Storage settings?

[marble holly]

Like i said, im a total beginner to all of this.

[versed timber]

So are you on your Mac?

[marble holly]

i am

[versed timber]

Okay and is your phone plugged into it?

[marble holly]

yes

[versed timber]

So on your mac enter the files

[marble holly]

Yea, but the filles are blank

It has no maps, not plugins, nothing.

[versed timber]

let me look at something

[marble holly]

When i drag it to the folder, it has nothing inside

Its like i skipped a step

[versed timber]

Is there a theotown folder in your device storage folder?

[marble holly]

Yes.

but when i click on it, nothing is inside

[versed timber]

Screenshot please

[marble holly]

Ok.

See? If i drop down, it wont show anything.

[versed timber]

Is there an Android file?

[marble holly]

Yeah

[versed timber]

try opening data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files

[marble holly]

Ok, Im finding some things now

[versed timber]

Okay that's good!

what all is there?

[marble holly]

Ok, Im finding the reigons now

Regions, music

And plugins

Ok, So how can i transfer it to my mac

[versed timber]

you should be able just to drag and drop

[marble holly]

Ok.

Got it! thanks

Now just need to figure out how to export all of this to my new phone

[versed timber]

whenever you get the new phone you should be able just to move them to the same location on your new device

and was it plugins or managed plugins?

[marble holly]

Both

[versed timber]

okay good to here!

[marble holly]

Alright. Thanks for the help!

Good thing i can keep 50 hours worth of work

[fickle lynx]

@tulip sand you cannot trade power/water in online mode

[compact schooner]

Is it still like that? I thought it would change on the last update

Hi*

How do i exchange power between my cities in offline mode

[versed timber]

You have to use the transfer lines or the underground lines

[tulip sand]

Ooooh

How much diamond is transfer lines?

[versed timber]

I think after you buy the IAP you only have to spend theons to place them

[tulip sand]

Whats IAP

Im new sorry for asking many questions

[versed timber]

In App Purchase

and no worries!

[tulip sand]

Oh ok

Imma get one of them then

[versed timber]

if I recall it shouldn't cost too many diamonds

[tulip sand]

Ok

I also have another questions but i will ask it later

[versed timber]

Feel free to ask it now

it's my job to help

[tulip sand]

Lemme get a picture

Of it

[versed timber]

alrighty!

[tulip sand]

I dont understand this even after tutorial

[versed timber]

the stuff they need is the stuff above the black line in the middle

[vital igloo]

Demands

[versed timber]

anything below it they don't need or have too much of

[tulip sand]

How do i know they need

I mean

How do i know what they need

[vital igloo]

There's button called "i" lol

[versed timber]

Well think of it like this

[tulip sand]

Yes but i aint got what ut said

It*

[versed timber]

typically your level one zoning fulfills the T and TT demands while the dense zoning fills the TTT normally

[tulip sand]

I see

[vital igloo]

Well take as an example real life:
People request for more houses (residental), the demand line will go up. If people have too many houses there will be no request so demands will go down.

[tulip sand]

So right now from this picture i sent it means my city needs more poor residental zones right?

[versed timber]

yeah

[tulip sand]

Oh ok

Makes sense

[versed timber]

Anything else I can help you with?

[tulip sand]

I think i know everything i need thanks

[vital igloo]

Everything makes sense once you understand it

[versed timber]

Your welcome

[tulip sand]

I was testing the disasters, i feel bad for thise poor ppl lol

[hybrid oyster]

maybe I should finally finish sworldgen and free myself from my own misery

[vital igloo]

lol

[pure tide]

RUST_010

[hybrid oyster]

ok

[fickle lynx]

@hybrid oyster i posted the "only" seeds

read a bit lol

[hybrid oyster]

I know

I meant that you may change it to say "seeds"

[fickle lynx]

i think i'm just gonna post the premade seeds

[hybrid oyster]

yeah that's what I meant

[fickle lynx]

@mellow kettle can we have a rule where you can't chat in #seeds-n-maps?

like you can only post heightmaps and seeds

and no other talk

ah yes

[echo swift]

yes

[mellow kettle]

discussions related to seeds and maps should be allowed imo

[fickle lynx]

ok

also why the hell does the seed "unitedkingdom" crash theotown for some godforsaken reason

[hybrid oyster]

it doesn't for me

@fickle lynx

[fickle lynx]

oh

cool

very cool

[hybrid oyster]

lmao

[mellow kettle]

Ah you're using that Jeremiah's plugin

[fickle lynx]

ye

[mellow kettle]

You run out of memory when it places ground tiles across entire map

TM

[fickle lynx]

bruh

lmao

are the pre-generated seeds stored somewhere in the game's files?

[mellow kettle]

yes

[fickle lynx]

ok

where

[mellow kettle]

internally in the jar file

[fickle lynx]

which one

[mellow kettle]

it's the game

[fickle lynx]

ok

but what is the name of the file

[mellow kettle]

heightmaps.zip

[fickle lynx]

screw this

just give me the file path

in windows

windows 🤮

[mellow kettle]

It's inside the game jar

It's not inside a directory

[fickle lynx]

then where is the game jar

[mellow kettle]

where you chose to install the game to

[fickle lynx]

so

the c:/ drive

or you know what

it would be much simpler to ask

what are the pre-generated seeds

[mellow kettle]

too much

that requires downloading zip

remainstay is one though

[hybrid oyster]

after a hour of putting random numbers in sworldgen

I found these that almost work

it's heightmap time

[fickle lynx]

can i just say that the seed RemainsStay generates some abstract shape that doesn't remind me of a sloth at all?

[hybrid oyster]

wtf

[fickle lynx]

oh i see it now

[hybrid oyster]

I am tired of putting random numbers

how to get rid of this

nvm found

[echo swift]

thats biome pack

[marsh mesa]

Lmao why isnt this TheoTown 2?

[hybrid oyster]

I deleted most of it from the folder

but couldn't find some parts of it\

[barren hatch]

Hello

[echo swift]

hmm I am not sure all of them should be in one file

[hybrid oyster]

i already found all

check #seeds-n-maps

some sworldgen report

[barren hatch]

AE

[hybrid oyster]

arts of electricity?

[barren hatch]

Nope,a latin joke

Like gura,but using the french letter AE

[hybrid oyster]

less go

[dreamy herald]

Æ

[barren hatch]

Yep

So,wazup?

[marble holly]

Cool. How did you make a custom map?

[hybrid oyster]

it's my own procedural world generator which exports a heightmap

[marble holly]

Ah. Is it public?

[hybrid oyster]

for now... not really - not finished

[marble holly]

Oh, Alright.

[hybrid oyster]

I'll publish it soon

[marble holly]

As a plugin?

[hybrid oyster]

It's an exe program

[marble holly]

Oh. Can it be run on mac?

[hybrid oyster]

idk, probably not

didn't test at least

it's python

and tkinter (lol) for gui

[marble holly]

oh. Ok.

[hybrid oyster]

uh

[marble holly]

bummer.

[hybrid oyster]

sad

[marble holly]

maybe i can use my windows pc

[hybrid oyster]

that'll be alright

btw it's just a separate project which I was making, and it suddenly turned out to be supercompatible with theotown

[marble holly]

Oh, Cool.

It would be great for new custom maps

[hybrid oyster]

yeah

[marble holly]

And eaiser and quicker than doing it yourself.

[hybrid oyster]

it also offers more customisation than theotown generator

[barren hatch]

Wait

[hybrid oyster]

and will offer more

[marble holly]

?

[hybrid oyster]

than it does now

[marble holly]

Nice. Can it make its own seed?

[barren hatch]

Theotown are in pc?

[hybrid oyster]

it has some cons tho and I didn't finished the blur thing

yes

wdym by seed?

u mean it's own generation seed?

[marble holly]

Yeah.

[marble holly]

Yeah. On steam.

[hybrid oyster]

it's not added, but very easy to do

I can add seeds with customisation things

[barren hatch]

Good

[marble holly]

Its not free though. Just a heads up.

[hybrid oyster]

something like this

[barren hatch]

Yep,but i prefer the android version xd

[hybrid oyster]

maybe this

(I don't have cool generation results saved)

[barren hatch]

Sorry,my English are not good xd

[marble holly]

Looks cool. Can it generate mountains?

[marble holly]

no worries.

[hybrid oyster]

yes... there is sad backstory about mountains

[barren hatch]

Wow,montains

I like montains

Montains

[hybrid oyster]

most of cool generation is mountains

[marble holly]

Huh, does not leave alot of room for flat sea level builds.

[hybrid oyster]

on high smoothing original random terrain turns into ocean and only thing left is mountains so terrain can be circular and steep

sometimes rivers mix up the terrain

In 2d it's not bad, though

[marble holly]

But what about in 3d

?

[hybrid oyster]

1 second

btw you can select small sizes

since it blurs on heightmap export, it won't look pixelated in theotown

[marble holly]

Oh. Thats fine.

[hybrid oyster]

here is the heightmap

rivers look weird on map but are good in tt

(another thing I should fix)

and it's a bit too much blurred

[marble holly]

Yeah. Quite blurred.

[hybrid oyster]

old work

this doesn't have blur though

[marble holly]

Wow. Looks Neat.

Can wait to see that in theotown

[hybrid oyster]

it's blender though

[marble holly]

Ik.

[hybrid oyster]

in theotown it will always be 2d

oh and hills are too steep

I may fix it

but No snowy peaks

[marble holly]

aw.

[hybrid oyster]

lovely island

you may have snowy peaks even without hills

I may make presets of different height

hm not bad

[marble holly]

Not bad indeed.

[hybrid oyster]

looks like a middle between extreme mountains and extremely flat

I'll make preset with extreme mountains

[marble holly]

Alright, id like to see that.

[hybrid oyster]

Before release, I planned to add extreme customisation as I already said

so you'll be able to edit generation formulas, lots of parameters, etc.

and maybe have your own heightmap export preset

[marble holly]

Nice. Bummer its likely not to be on android.

[hybrid oyster]

theotown building challenge

[marble holly]

Hm, Im thinking of a snow resort.

How big is the map?

[hybrid oyster]

I can generate different sizes but big maps take quite a lot of time

with blur, you can use any map size in TT

[marble holly]

I only have 4, so not much of a problem.

[hybrid oyster]

challenge

I'll save the map so I can export heightmap when there is another preset

heightmap is pretty cursed

[marble holly]

...

is that a train line??

[hybrid oyster]

Rivers lmao

maybe I should make them more straight

[barren hatch]

Look's like a parasite

[hybrid oyster]

I can just change some numbers

[barren hatch]

XD

[hybrid oyster]

or I can't I forgot how this sh#t works

[barren hatch]

I'm bad in mats,what is that?

[hybrid oyster]

random number between -0.3 and.... wait, -0.3?

what am I looking at

[barren hatch]

Bruh

[hybrid oyster]

I forgot what it is

but

[barren hatch]

.......

[hybrid oyster]

the world in my generator is not some shader, but 2 dimensional matrix

each pixel has cords

[barren hatch]

I don't understand nothing

Xd

[hybrid oyster]

river is pretty much a line which sometimes goes in 2 directions

up

and down

[barren hatch]

Yep

[hybrid oyster]

bot if they didn't change, it would be straight

[barren hatch]

Hhhmhmm

[hybrid oyster]

so with each pixel it adds random number to each x and y "speed"

[barren hatch]

Aja

[hybrid oyster]

but there are limits so it won't go extreme

and these numbers may be too big now so it's weird

[barren hatch]

Weird how?

[hybrid oyster]

rivers were supposed to be just an experiment, but even though they have weird code, they are cool

weird this

[barren hatch]

Aaaa

[hybrid oyster]

also with big map size there is too much rivers

[barren hatch]

Just like the river of my town xd

[barren hatch]

Try to do it more....natural?,two or 1 river

Whit interconnections obviously

[hybrid oyster]

Maybe

I have a lot to tell

let's move to #general

[austere spade]

Does removing a drill in space gives you the money back

Pls help

[dull forge]

Sup peep

[austere spade]

Hi peep

[ornate glen]

I guess blueflower has changed its name to lobby

[tribal girder]

Wait, why?

You don't have to remind me man :'(

[versed timber]

@candid drift when you learn to develop, and you learn have the time to dev a game and overhaul it. feel free to

[regal plaza]

You guys are developer's

[regal plaza]

Nope I guess they didn't change

I m fully sure that they didn't change

[versed timber]

The loading screen for sure changed

[whole minnow]

You are developers?

[regal plaza]

Yes

Sir

We are developer

[brittle night]

here I am

[regal plaza]

Have they changed the loading screen

[jovial igloo]

👀

[regal plaza]

I guess

[hazy root]

Huh

[fickle lynx]

everyone except lobby left the development of theotown

[hazy root]

Really?

[jovial igloo]

Ja: imma head out

[fickle lynx]

do you really think i'm being serious when i even cross out the words?

[hazy root]

Ok?

[fickle lynx]

either way, the answer is no, they didn't leave

[spring wagon]

What was the meaning of that one suggestion "free airbuds for remains"?

[vital igloo]

It was made as a joke

when JA and Remains chatted together and I was watching it

in #bot-commands

[spring wagon]

Ah

[opaque kestrel]

@vital igloo

[vital igloo]

?

[vital igloo]

k

[safe echo]

Sea background

[vital igloo]

Ok

[safe echo]

can i upload it to the store ?

[hybrid oyster]

Why not

[low valve]

Which are the advantages or disadvantages to put a certain building at 200% performance, or 50% or even less?

[neon verge]

Increased benefits, but inflated maintenance costs@low valve

Lower than 100% gives the opposite effect

[safe echo]

oh no, i don't know why it works on window but doesn't work on Android 😦

[jovial igloo]

Uhh

[safe echo]

On Android it changes the background to black color, not to sea

[jovial igloo]

Well, i guess thats why the stream terrain plugin error to

[hybrid oyster]

@safe echo how is this plugin made?

What code do you use

[safe echo]

[
{
"active":true,
"override":true,
"id":"$anim_blank00",
"type":"animation",
"frames":[
{"bmp":"blank.png"},
{"bmp":"blank.png"},
{"bmp":"blank.png"}
]
}
]

the file blank.png is blank

when i used it on window, the background color changed to sea animation

[hybrid oyster]

I think you should use water tile animations or something

Because... That

Also there is no need to make blank files, they take plugin texture space

Idk about this situation, but most of time it's better to use "null"

(like "frames":[null])

This won't fix black, though

[safe echo]

thank you

i will try it

[fickle lynx]

can't you just steal frames

[vital igloo]

steal

[hybrid oyster]

This too

[safe echo]

??? steal ??

[vague matrix]

You can "take" frames from other drafts

As well as other attributes

That way the game will not load the same textures multiple times

[safe echo]

how can i do it ?

[lyric crystal]

Hell

Hello*

[echo swift]

hi

when I was 16

[vocal hare]

Hello

How do you get 5.00Gt money?

[echo swift]

you cant

[hybrid oyster]

How many rci car packs are on plugin store?

[vocal hare]

And how can I bring poccolonium home?

[echo swift]

shouldnt be less

[echo swift]

you cant bring it to home, moon is completly different except using dyson sphere. Dyson sphere is probably the only thing that can add stuff to your home city

[vocal hare]

Ok thanks

[echo swift]

I need a premade city with 35k population and level atleast 15

[hybrid oyster]

1 minute

Nah sorry

I have this but it's 48K already

Maybe I have some other cities

[echo swift]

oh it is not a problem

[hybrid oyster]

38K

@echo swift

I can send you this one

[echo swift]

both is good

[hybrid oyster]

Well this has less plugins I guess

[echo swift]

can I have the simonville, just want to test something. btw are they vanilla?

oh

which one is close to vanilla

[hybrid oyster]

Close to vanilla but have some mods

Second

It's old

So don't mind very crappy airports and stuff

[echo swift]

okay then, I can test it on your older plot

yep no problem

[hybrid oyster]

Okay wait I bit I need to go afk

[echo swift]

mhm

[hybrid oyster]

I'm here

[hybrid oyster]

I FORGOT TO TURN OFF THEOTOWN AT NIGHT

AND I GOT LIKE +10 HOURS ON STEAM

[steady totem]

Bruh

I use mobile

[hybrid oyster]

I use pc for plugin making

[tawny juniper]

F

[hybrid oyster]

what's wrong

btw I am trying to repair rivers in sworldgen

they look like my old drawings

[tawny juniper]

Did your plugin's progress got saved? It would be a pain if it didn't get saved

[hybrid oyster]

I mean

I don't make plugins themselves in TT

[tawny juniper]

Oo

[hybrid oyster]

I don't even remember making something important

I was just surprised that I forgot to close it

and talking about sworldgen, it's ok too

maybe I should just trap sum children in my basement and make them draw heightmaps

off topic

[sly pier]

oh

[sly pier]

I was trying to move a lighthouse building plugin

[echo swift]

people arent soo happy about having a iron-steel factory

gotta increase the numbers, it should pollute more

this is possibly the smallest combination

this is confusing now

https://tenor.com/view/all-about-the-balance-craig-hughes-all-aboard-see-you-later-bon-voyage-gif-13706021

[hybrid oyster]

when the hills are sus

[hybrid oyster]

okay I had enough with sworldgen

time for lua

[hybrid oyster]

sorry guys

sworldgen 1.1 is delayed

I found out I can put pictures on buttons

the gui update is coming

[candid drift]

Ban Simon

jk

[hybrid oyster]

a

idk ur acting kinda sus~

[safe echo]

How about this night frames ? 😄

[tribal girder]

Weren't there more upgrades for the DSA rockets?

[tribal girder]

I would if I knew what it looked like

How am I supposed to build one anyway?

[hybrid oyster]

Nice

What is that building with red roof and a star on it?

I smell Soviet union

[safe echo]

its is pending approval

[hybrid oyster]

🟥

Nice

[tribal girder]

Need help with something

[safe echo]

i draw it inspired by Vietnam flag

[hybrid oyster]

So sad my golden pickle didn't get approved and playtime counter doesn't work on phone

Ah ok

[hybrid oyster]

And I am unlikely to post something because I am being teared apart by several projects

Cyberpunk plugin, modular houses, illumination pack, and maybe forest industry, office zone, racing and slum packs or maybe other in future

Also sworldgen

And my account got annihilated from YouTube

My sleep schedule is broken so I can't sleep at night or wake up at morning

Man

Also I am losing motivation

Sorry for rant

[hybrid oyster]

Search up mine in build menu, there is not much stuff

And place on green stones

As I remember

[tribal girder]

ok

[tribal girder]

but I can't find green stones

[hybrid oyster]

Show me ur map

Like those blue dots but green

[hybrid oyster]

Bruh

[tribal girder]

?

[hybrid oyster]

Maybe it still is somewhere and you just need to look better

Or that's a weird bug

Or I have dementia

If there is actually no green stones, there are other colors anyway

Blue and another idk

You can place it on these too

You'll just get less income

[tribal girder]

ok

[tribal girder]

I placed it on the blue stuff and it didn't work

[hybrid oyster]

Uh oh

Remove it probably

[tribal girder]

And every other stone

didn't work

[hybrid oyster]

Idk then ask someone else on #old-support

[tribal girder]

wait what's this?

[hybrid oyster]

Bug

#bugs-n-crashes probably

[tribal girder]

yeah

[safe echo]

I hope things will turn out fine 😦

Wishing you all the best!

[hybrid oyster]

Thanks :)

I wish this game had traffic closer to cities skylines'

So all these intersections and stuff were necessary

And it would require actual work to fix traffic

[versed timber]

A lot of work for two devs

[hybrid oyster]

Yeah

I mean if would be cool in theory at least

Also if there was inside/outside connection, it will be more realistic because why would a town grow in the middle of nowhere

But

This is impossible or very hard on procedural maps

[frigid jetty]

No poggers?

Am i being threatned by a mutant pickle?

[mellow kettle]

He found some OP plugins

And decided to disable achievements

[barren hatch]

Hello

[barren hatch]

No

[low valve]

What is the easiest or most viable way to get 100% happiness?

[mellow kettle]

rate my city

[vague matrix]

Garbage

[mellow kettle]

thanks, it's a testing ground for moon residential tax adjustments

Trying to stop those tax evaders

[vague matrix]

Where's the moon irs when you need em

[mellow kettle]

good idea

build irs office to gain more theons

[vague matrix]
