[livid agate]

it should be rotation independent

[orchid sorrel]

soo you have like 3 skill issues to solve

ah ight

the preview doesn't show them

couldn't bother clicking e

this

one of them at least

[unique pivot]

I increased contrast of this one and it looks better now

bruh momento

[orchid sorrel]

also

are there some kind of upgrade dependent animation things

you could define the roof as an animation and only show it if you don't have the upgrade

if not you could probably just use some kind of script event and animation play/pause functions

@livid agate

you should have the original pdn file with layers so it shouldn't be that bad

[livid agate]

I can't open them

[unique pivot]

something

I feel like im making complex industri textures

[lunar snow]

industri?😳😳

[orchid sorrel]

then download paint dot fuging net

[chilly mango]

good

[unique pivot]

actually I could give all the textures to ci if erk is fine with another plugin still having the same ones

Emotional 100

[unique pivot]

I forgot how fckin huge tt cars are

[thorny arrow]

An update for DSA ??

[orchid sorrel]

yes

held 'in production' for a few months lol

[lunar snow]

you can my trucks for the prop instead😉

[unique pivot]

sounds good

[lunar snow]

cool

so do you want the semi trucks or rigid box trucks

[unique pivot]

(if you're fine with it, can you dm me them? also ur forum nickname just in case so I can credit you)

not sure but I'll probably need box trucks

[lunar snow]

ight

[lunar snow]

eh just credit me as The Leaf

[thorny arrow]

My pack is now finished, including 6 ingame buildings with some edit :)))

@@

because now I'm finding back the feeling of drawing concrete graphics again, after so many full glass plugins

[lunar snow]

@midnight obsidian holycrap i forgot the maxima livery for the box trucks

[orchid sorrel]

delete system

install windows

[livid agate]

no

[orchid sorrel]

simple solution

[low loom]

Linux

[midnight obsidian]

I will ban you

[lunar snow]

nooooo

[midnight obsidian]

Pban @lunar snow

[lunar snow]

[midnight obsidian]

Fire truck without "fire tr" you!!!!!!

[lunar snow]

[rich birch]

Thx for 10k downloads guys

[orchid scroll]

Congrats

[thorny arrow]

Congrats 🎉🎊

🎉🎉 after 2 months

[signal lagoon]

please ban this words.

[orchid sorrel]

ban linux

[orchid scroll]

Nice

[rich birch]

Wow congratulation
you are much better than me (when I was a creator in the first 2 months)

[unique pivot]

waiting for CAS to hit 30k

[orchid sorrel]

since we're doing this

[unique pivot]

I have 108k downloads but with 8 plugins

[midnight obsidian]

91,545 download gang

[unique pivot]

how to shade this

[eternal mango]

aaaa

make a triangle of the darker colour

in the lighter area

from top to bottom

[echo prairie]

No plugins 😎

[unique pivot]

ok so I shouldn't have deleted my first attempt

[eternal mango]

yes you shouldnt have done it

[unique pivot]

(you didnt even see it though)

[eternal mango]

if this is your first attempt then you did it right

[unique pivot]

(im checking lighting in blender 3d lol)

chonky warehouse

[lunar snow]

something need to be done with the roof

[rich birch]

@thorny arrow
See

[thorny arrow]

How can you see it

[rich birch]

it's just old news on the Theotown forum

If you release a lot of plugins in that month then you will enter the monthly news

[midnight obsidian]

my most popular puglin

second most popular

third and fourth most popular

[unique pivot]

My most popular plugin

Second

Third

[glad lynx]

impressive

[lunar snow]

i will leave the diagonal frames for tomorrow

[midnight obsidian]

🤔

[unique pivot]

I kinda want to make my own pixelart editor for fun

but not really sure what approach to take, especially with ui

(sorry, should be #general)

[rich birch]

My most popular plug 🔌

My 2nd popular plug

My 3rd popular plug

My 4th popular plug

[sharp kettle]

sheesh

[tight basin]

egg :v

[lunar snow]

nice

[tight basin]

a shop from someone i know made her a store :p

[rain gate]

Ogg

[tight basin]

2nd time to make someone a plugin :v (to be remembered..)

[unique pivot]

chonky warehouse with leaf's trucks

even though they're a good detail they still look out of place for some reason

maybe its a style thing

(my stuff always come out very grey)

[rain gate]

ye they do

[lunar snow]

I mean why dont rotate the trucks and let their behind facing the factory

[unique pivot]

hmmmm yeah

I just realised I forgot to add a shadow to this building 💀

[lunar snow]

Also add some workers load/unload cargos

[tight basin]

thats a nice truck

[unique pivot]

yeah its the leaf's trucks

they're very nice

all buildings in my unfinished industri pack

Most of these happened to be modern because they're easier to draw for me but I'll try other types

[lunar snow]

Lmao can you turn off render pollution setting tho

[unique pivot]

I like that setting 😠 pollution rules

[tight basin]

more pollution! :p

[lunar snow]

Fair enough

[unique pivot]

(btw the top and the right one don't pollute)

[midnight obsidian]

fountains

[rain gate]

?

also I use google translate because I am russian and don't understand english

[unique pivot]

do you make lua plugins?

[rain gate]

No, and I am not a plugin creator, I don't know how to create one, but I hava coded private roblox games for my friends and me

[unique pivot]

then there isn't anything you need to worry about

[rain gate]

@unique pivot and if ian and hadestia are reading this message, does the above messages mean your plugins would break because of this change

[unique pivot]

wdym reading this?

btw since you're russian too we can move to #language-bar

should've done that already

[rain gate]

it's ok

[rain gate]

What is the nane of this app?

[unique pivot]

Okay I'm actually doing this

[eternal mango]

why tho

[rain gate]

within the game or a 3rd party app?

[unique pivot]

My own pixelart app

[eternal mango]

oh

so we could create our own plugins?

[rain gate]

for android app you need to learn java or kotlin

and xml

[unique pivot]

You already can, though?

[chilly mango]

not necessarily

[unique pivot]

It will be likely PC-only

[eternal mango]

i cant code

[unique pivot]

Anyways offtopic

[eternal mango]

😏

[unique pivot]

But I'm making a pixelart editor, not plugin editor ~~json isn't coding ~~

[rain gate]

android studio

[unique pivot]

I could make plugin editor app but it'd probably be PC only and I don't really think many people would use it

[crimson basin]

could you help me, do you know how to make plug ins for theotown?

[rain gate]

No, also I can't find any tutorials on how to make one

[eternal mango]

i could at least make an art for the thing i want

[unique pivot]

It's not like I'll be making the first pixelart editor ever lol, there are others. I just think coding my own will be fun + learning experience

Piskel is the most comfortable editor for me but it lacks some features, and I can't get used to other editors. I will make my own editor that has interface similar to piskel hahaha

[rain gate]

Web version? if so you have to learn HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript

[livid agate]

now support pdn files and linux

[unique pivot]

How

[livid agate]

simple

C

and

reading PDN implementation

[unique pivot]

With my coding skills it'd be amazing if it supports literally anything

[livid agate]

Standard input image to write to

[unique pivot]

@rain gate Btw where is your coding experience from? Did you program anything or something since you said you don't make plugins

[rain gate]

#plugin-discussion message

[unique pivot]

(might as well abandon it later like 75% of my projects)

[unique pivot]

So you know Lua?

[unique pivot]

(I can't make a working undo buffer for some reason)

[crimson basin]

what roblox games have you made? i play roblox, maybe ill try it out sometime

[rain gate]

Parkour

[midnight obsidian]

layer support

transparency

[rain gate]

Does this mean the modules that used to return table will return userdata from 1.10.74?, since you cannot override values in userdata

[midnight obsidian]

most important things

[midnight obsidian]

no

any functions that are regarded as unsafe and can be abused in a negative way have been removed

[rain gate]

os.exit I think

[midnight obsidian]

yes

that was removed i assume

we kept making jokes about it

[livid agate]

you, precisely

now I'll have to extend DSA library to troll hackers instead

[rain gate]

os.execute

[livid agate]

long gone

[midnight obsidian]

oh it wasn't just me

[chilly mango]

those are the most obvious functions to block

[livid agate]

can just call shell through a DSA function implemented in java

[chilly mango]

the update just prevents you from doing some things you werent supposed to anyway

[livid agate]

would be used, at most, to rickroll erksmit

[chilly mango]

a noble goal

[livid agate]

pidroid boot sequence

[chilly mango]

i will simply need to pull a pro gamer move and move to linux

[livid agate]

jokes on you

[rain gate]

anti-malware

[livid agate]

I don't even need to run Powershell script

I can just use xdg protocol to rick roll you

[chilly mango]

oh sorry, i mean IOS

[livid agate]

browser independent

Think that's still possible

[rain gate]

javascript

[chilly mango]

probably

[livid agate]

Javascript is horrible

[chilly mango]

yes

its like lua if it was worse

[midnight obsidian]

what's not to love about javascript

[livid agate]

say that again and I'm gonna revert my decision

[midnight obsidian]

i mean

doesn't theotown use javascript in the form of javascript object notation

[chilly mango]

but its not programming

also

[midnight obsidian]

true

[chilly mango]

dont make me implement an xml parser in lua using draft.append

[livid agate]

why draft append

is string library not enough

[chilly mango]

well we need the game to actually load it no

so i load xml, parse it to json thne load it

no more need to use javascript 🤮

[midnight obsidian]

i think all theotown plugins should be written in assembly

[chilly mango]

personally

i find xml to be horrible to read through

[rain gate]

it crashes any software including android app

[livid agate]

me parsing router API which only returns xml:

[midnight obsidian]

roblox ignores os.exit

at least i think

if i recall correctly, the only use for os.stuff in roblox is to fetch your time

[chilly mango]

os.time is absolute garbage

its comically inacurate

[rain gate]

os.date?

[chilly mango]

havent needed it

[livid agate]

used for lobby's cake

iirc

[rain gate]

print(math.floor(os.time()))

[livid agate]

print statement?

we don't do that here

[midnight obsidian]

toast

[chilly mango]

cringe

log is where its at

[livid agate]

System.out.println is where its at

or just booting up android studio

setting a breakpoint in Lua script

and checking memory

[chilly mango]

sounds like something we dont have access to

look at this chump with proper debugging tools

[livid agate]

When you read Hadestia's code, you have to use the proper tools for debugging

[unique pivot]

Ja did you see cleanup tool code or it was approved by someone else

[chilly mango]

the lack of debugging tools is why i implemented numerous error checks

though

[low loom]

Ahhh

[midnight obsidian]

hadestia the gui evaluator

[chilly mango]

the lack of stacktrace on scripts really makes it annoying

error calls are supposed to have an error level

however, it doesnt work

it always just goes to the line the error was thrown

[livid agate]

test default luaj implementation

and if it works

fine

else

skill issue

[chilly mango]

you say it like i can set that up in 5 minutes

[livid agate]

Wasn't me, I can always view it tho

Is that a suggestion?

[rain gate]

#plugin-lua-and-fun message

[unique pivot]

I don't remembered anything weird there aside of me not using layouts and doing weird function() anotherFunction() end bullshit (forgot to remove it)

[livid agate]

i see swear words in the code

I will instantly delete it from my chrisitian minecraft server

ignore the fact my party house has swearing comments

[low loom]

Does gui object has __tostring metamethod?

[livid agate]

have you tried tostring on it?

[unique pivot]

Naaah no swear words in my code 😎yet

[low loom]

It toast tables

[chilly mango]

sounds like a pain to stringify gui

[midnight obsidian]

toasted tables

[low loom]

I'd need to check whether the object on the parameter was a gui object

[chilly mango]

also ja

api for those new problem icons when

[livid agate]

it's in the backlog

will drop before 2024 for sure™️

[chilly mango]

lol

should drop before complex industry releases then

[livid agate]

yup

[unique pivot]

And before I'll learn using layouts

[low loom]

It's just a red frame and draws an icon inside of it

[chilly mango]

its more than that

[midnight obsidian]

how the hell do we balance our plugin without a mathematician 😭

[chilly mango]

if you zoom out they combine into a bigger one

depending on how many there are

its smart

[low loom]

Ahhhh that thing

[chilly mango]

its not something we can imitate just by drawing

[unique pivot]

balance plugin
Huh what's that? Someone does this? How

[low loom]

Yah that's a must for CI

[chilly mango]

need kulche to make those better problem icons anyways

[livid agate]

just rewrite from scratch

only took lobby a week of tweaking to get it just right and performant

[chilly mango]

performant

see theres the issue

lua

also

[livid agate]

just run it asynchronously

[chilly mango]

why bother making it myself when i can just bother you guys into exposing an api for it

[livid agate]

problem?

[midnight obsidian]

furniture store only stores 1200 units of furniture but sells 4000 units of furniture a day

[unique pivot]

I'm about to explode trying not to ask ja to approve heightmapper tool code (he will find something to execute me for)

[unique pivot]

Is this an actual balancing problem (I don't get it)

[low loom]

That furniture progress bar was pure nonsense

[chilly mango]

yes

[unique pivot]

How

[chilly mango]

nah the bad is actually functional

[livid agate]

yes

[midnight obsidian]

we need to find a fair way to calculate how much furniture a furniture store would sell

[chilly mango]

its just that its so poorly thought out

that it never gets to work

[unique pivot]

Can you dump a lot of furniture there and get it sold instantly?

[rain gate]

2 fps using this plugin on android

[chilly mango]

yes

even though that is not the goal

look man

[unique pivot]

Well just make it sell less than 1200 units a day

Smh

[chilly mango]

the formula for deciding how much it sells was thought up by yusuf in like 5 minutes

[low loom]

How much the cost for a single furniture

[chilly mango]

and it doesnt take anything into account

[chilly mango]

15 theons

market value

probably useless

reasons why we need to go rebalance those numbers

[midnight obsidian]

square root of population in town per day

[unique pivot]

I'm not even sure what'd that need to take into account aside from the amount of furniture

Oh wait

Population

[crimson basin]

how complicated can you make the price?

[chilly mango]

it uses population rn

[unique pivot]

Do population - T people smh

[chilly mango]

but it doesnt consider how much furniture you can actually make, how much furniture is worth

etc

thats the problem

[unique pivot]

Doesn't that cost more than some T houses

[chilly mango]

you want profit or nah

complex industry is not balanced at all

it wont make you profit

[unique pivot]

Nooo realism

[crimson basin]

we can say that T level population would demand less funiture. and TT and TTT the demand will increase. maybe you can make the price increase with what level the buildings are at and call it inflation.

[chilly mango]

ok but like

no

keep it simpler pls

[midnight obsidian]

oh yeah

for some reason

furniture requires paper

[chilly mango]

we can make it complicated as we want but like

why bother

[low loom]

It makes you stressed out

[chilly mango]

while i wrote in support for complicated limits like that

i dont think any users would appreciate that as a mechanic

[unique pivot]

Just add more glass skyscrapers

[crimson basin]

price of furniture increases over time? using some idk power 0.25 or smth?

[chilly mango]

sounds even more arbitrary

[unique pivot]

users
Appreciate
Hahahahhahaha

[chilly mango]

if you ask me

it should be like

[unique pivot]

I like how my phone capitalized "appreciate" but not "users"

[livid agate]

hahah

[midnight obsidian]

price of furniture increases/decreases depending on how much of it you sell it to the store

[crimson basin]

Bunny: Suggests mathematical formulas xD

[chilly mango]

10 + inhabitants /1000

there

now its inhabitant dependent

and simple

[livid agate]

sounds linear

[chilly mango]

yes

[unique pivot]

I think my biggest Lua plugin will be climate change if I actually finish it (which I doubt) and it's not that complicated

[midnight obsidian]

if you don't sell much furniture to the store, the sales are slower but you earn more money per unit

[chilly mango]

that means this town would be able to sell 15 furniture a day per store

sounds reasonable to me

we just need to adjust the price of furniture to match

[livid agate]

my biggest Lua plugin is DSA

[midnight obsidian]

if you sell a lot of furniture to a store, the sales are faster but you earn less money per unit

[unique pivot]

Ja will like my calculatePollution() function

[livid agate]

and it doesn't even use modern Lua

[crimson basin]

increasy the price by 50% every month?

[chilly mango]

sounds like it would get out of hand very quickly

[livid agate]

call it in update() and then I'll be impressed

[unique pivot]

Thanks I haven't tried that yet

[midnight obsidian]

once again, i think the price should depend on how much furniture you sell

[crimson basin]

yeah probably will double in 2 months

[chilly mango]

feel free to submit any formulas you think of

but please be reasonable

[livid agate]

anything worth yanderedev award gets send to the upper chamber

[midnight obsidian]

let's settle on a default price

[low loom]

By demand that's what we need

[livid agate]

the winner gets respect from the upper chamber

[unique pivot]

That reminds me of when I made natural selection simulator and left a bug with balancing, which caused the creatures to multiply exponentially and they'd go from like 50 to 400K in 10 seconds

[crimson basin]

what abt the price of furniture depends on the most expensive building placed?

[chilly mango]

how i imagine lobby

[midnight obsidian]

does 35 bucks sound reasonable as a default price

[chilly mango]

maybe

[midnight obsidian]

okay then

[chilly mango]

we should really decide that after deciding other produciton numbers

honestly

[livid agate]

more like

[chilly mango]

the selling formula is the last thing we should decide on

[rain gate]

Who are the other people who code lua plugins other than Simon142#1500, Hadestia#3808, ian or erk

[chilly mango]

we should decide alll other numbers first

[midnight obsidian]

erik smit

[chilly mango]

so that we have a clear view of how it should be balanced

no erksmit

smh

[low loom]

Don't you like it will calculated from.the demands?

[unique pivot]

What if I made theotown natural selection simulator... Wait I already have gm_construct2 with bugged climate change plugin

[livid agate]

Ever heard of a fella called Jeremiah?

Heard he fell from grace

[chilly mango]

just found big lobbus.png in my downloads folder

anyone want a copy

[livid agate]

4 gigs?

[chilly mango]

20

[livid agate]

zip it

[rain gate]

No

[unique pivot]

My ~7GB downloads folder was wiped out when my laptop broke :(

[livid agate]

Shame, he had some nice plugins

[chilly mango]

this manouver is gonna take me 58 years

[livid agate]

you best hope that winrar is using your one core most it can

[chilly mango]

core #6 my beloved

i should have a reasonably sized image of lobby somewhere

lobbycoins

[livid agate]

I'd throw it in an upscaler, but I don't have 256 gb memory

[rain gate]

Ok, only if I haven't checked #information and scrolled up

[chilly mango]

thats all youre getting from me

[chilly mango]

its in the name

that'd be a better name

[midnight obsidian]

for comparison, the first public beta test of complex industry is 447,85 kilobytes

[chilly mango]

or 7mb if i include the .git folder

[rain gate]

to the messages before july plugin store statistics

[chilly mango]

now if you will excuse me

i have some warehouses to rewrite

[chilly mango]

plank trailers are misaligned

it is known

[low loom]

Who the f aligned them

[chilly mango]

me

fite me

blame kulche for uploading frames that arent in the right rotation order

[low loom]

I see it's in v2 order

[chilly mango]

yes

[low loom]

That should be like that

[chilly mango]

because i painstakingly fixed the order

kulche sent them in clockwise order

[low loom]

Ill lend some time for that

[chilly mango]

i probably just defined the y incorrectly in json

i'd check there first

[low loom]

Y is in proper working

[chilly mango]

well its misaligned so clearly it isnt

[low loom]

X was not

[chilly mango]

whats wrong with x

the problem is that theyre too far up

some rotations have pixels missing off the top

[low loom]

Ah yeah but what i mean was x&y for animation was different for x&y for handles

[chilly mango]

i dont think i touched any handles

[low loom]

Id never tried looking into truck drafts

Ill check tommorow

If all trucks was in the same frame size per rotation well that's not a big deal for me

[rain gate]

I see that your server has no rules so expect self promotion, nitro scams, spam, nsfw, etc.

[unique pivot]

Advertising

[rain gate]

what are good plugins

to have

[chilly mango]

text placing tool

[crimson laurel]

GABP
OMIBP
ADBP
DBP

Those are the four packs I wanna make

Now that I'm gonna take a break from GABP, I'll start working on starting the OMIBP

[rain gate]

Is the auto streetlight plugin nice? if it's good i will use it

[empty night]

It's fine. Just add streelights automatically

[rain gate]

yes i know it. I'm afraid it will make the city look bad.

[empty night]

I think you can change the frequency they appear

[swift lintel]

How to control?

[lunar snow]

That's offtopic

Continue the thing in #gene

[swift lintel]

K

[jovial lodge]

Is that still available somewhere? Didn't really get into this game until a few weeks ago.

[eternal mango]

It is available I think

[jovial lodge]

I've been looking around both in-game and online, but haven't been able to find it.

[tidal glen]

That's a reply from last year

You scrolled till then?

[fathom pier]

So I guess that plugin will be private and not public

[eternal mango]

I had it but now it's gone

[jovial lodge]

Nope. Typed "modular nuclear" in the search box.

[jovial lodge]

Darn.

[hollow cairn]

There is a modular nuclear power plant on the store

The reason you can't search it is because it's not named by the author

The author's name is Themax

You can scroll through his works and find it

[orchid scroll]

Bored so I turned this house into an abandoned colonial dutch house

[lunar snow]

it was worth it

[chilly mango]

I made a car for Theotown

[midnight obsidian]

upload and i approve immediately

[sharp kettle]

Dont really plan for that but.. sure ill think about it

[lofty jasper]

do people typically just take images off online and make plugins from it or do they manually make them?

[lunar snow]

Wdym

[thin wraith]

by "taking images off online and make plugins from it" you mean googling a building, saving an image and making it fit in a plugin?

if so no

[lofty jasper]

pixelating the image and cropping it to the object they want to make a plugin out of

[thin wraith]

yeah

no

[lofty jasper]

thats what "ge" did there

was curious if people normally did that

[thin wraith]

it's a joke

[lofty jasper]

yeah, im new here

so I dont know

[thin wraith]

you can base your building on an image, but not make that internet image a texture

it's against plugin store and showcase rules

copyright prolly?

let me check that

[crimson laurel]

Ge wasn't being serious
To make plugins you either create something from your own imaginatiom or base/inspired yourself on a real thing, but all pixel art is made from zero

Of course, there are some people who use 3D objects to create a base for their buildings, but the rest is all handmade

[lofty jasper]

yeah that make sense of course, if you want to make pixel art you probably want to do it from scratch but it was just for clarification

[thin wraith]

i'm make new plugin is mine do not copying or else copyright dmca

Why not 31?

[thin wraith]

wait

[crimson laurel]

331

31 is TheoTown funny number

[thin wraith]

diamond incom

[sharp kettle]

Thats a illegal thing to do here

[crimson laurel]

Just take the "il" out and it becomes legal
/just kidding, please don't kill me

[sharp kettle]

That would means youre worse than designer anthony 🤔

[sharp kettle]

Oh thats a picture on the left

Was confused for a sec

[crimson laurel]

How to become the most hated person in TheoTown community in a few easy steps:

[sharp kettle]

Thw head is.. a little confusing to make (bc of the shape)

Not really, i guess i just need a top down view of it

Which that i dont have

If to hard to do imma just change it to my own desire

[crimson laurel]

I just thought of something crazy:
AI generated plugins

[sharp kettle]

I tought of that a long time ago

I dunno, it sounds wrong

Think about it 😒

There could be only 1, and thats option 2

[thin wraith]

i mean

it's not as bad as sharizal

[lofty jasper]

the whole currency system in the game is bizarre to me

[sharp kettle]

Wdym?

[lofty jasper]

that your restricted to something you paid money for

[sharp kettle]

You have the pc version?

I dont get it

[lofty jasper]

oh is it not universal?

I thought it was the same across platforms, my bad, but I rarely play games of this way anyhow, worldbox is the only other

[sharp kettle]

Oh

In the pc version its like a premium TT

You dont have to deal with ads, no diamonds, you can download plugins instantly

[lofty jasper]

yeah I understand that now, ok

why doesnt it exist for mobile though

[sharp kettle]

Idk

I mean.. theres no forces ads

Also you can earn diamonds pretty easily bc daily rewards and by some other stuff

If you dont use diamonds intensely that is

[lofty jasper]

hm alright, thanks for explaining

[sharp kettle]

Yw

[crimson laurel]

It's also because a paid version of TheoTown for mobile wouldn't be very profitable

[lofty jasper]

I see the marketing side of it, sure, they probably make more money from the ads and playtime than making it paid and removing that

[sharp kettle]

Theotown battlefield DLC for 199$ when

[crimson laurel]

Not only that: between having to pay for a premium version and just watching ads on a normal version, people would prefer to download the normal version instead of paying money for a game on their phone

[lofty jasper]

I would, and its sometimes all people have but if you just use it when going places and killing time then sure I get it then (assuming you have a pc version at home or dont play it avidly)

[crimson laurel]

I mean, not everyone who install the game keeps it for very long. I used to install and uninstall it frequently because I would get bored of it at some point or need more free space on my phone

On a PC you can keep it for longer, even if you don't play it constantly

That's something we all can agree

It is the best city building/designer mobile game

[sharp kettle]

I like TT because the freedom it gives, free to play, pixel graphics

Also the ability to have plugins

[crimson laurel]

At first I liked it because of the sandbox mode and it not being a play-to-win, ads are optional and you don't have to wait a long span of time to build a big, well decorated city

And later I also started to like it because of the plugins, one of the few mobile games that is easily "modificable", has its own support for plugins

[lofty jasper]

yeah, its a niche community though and I would guess most people who play this looking for a specific niche.. stay

[near notch]

the game is fun, and it definitely doesn't have a lack of content. It's very good compared to other "city building" mobile games out there

it's simple, and complex. And plug-ins make it even more complex

personally I wish there was at least one WW1 plug in but, tbh I'm completely fine with what we've got

[lofty jasper]

its my favorite city builder game across the board, including pc ones, the military addition really does it for me and thats where I would like to see the most attention imo

[near notch]

Yeahh

one thing I mostly search up is military stuff, while cool, it's rather bare

[lofty jasper]

also most people who download this to begin with are probably into this style of game

[lofty jasper]

I agree, the ability to make whatever military scenario, airbase, troop positions, etc is a really cool idea imo along with the civilian city builder stuff and should be expanded on to make it more complete

hope it gets to that point one day

[near notch]

Me too, kinda like how the airfields work, I wish you could customize it more as well

like hey, you want a name for your military? Here, type it.

Stuff like that

[lofty jasper]

yeah little things would make a large difference

[near notch]

Brooo

Makes me wish for a navy

Imagine just having a battleship just going around doing its thing

[lofty jasper]

yeah, there is the age of sail plugin that has ships moving around but another thing would be in-depth controls for them so you could have it take specific routes and have certain behaviors

[near notch]

YESS

[sharp kettle]

Well.. ships cant really do much accept just going around

They cant fire or anything like that

[thorny arrow]

73% of the plugin :))

[sharp kettle]

Not to mention the size

[near notch]

I mean

Yeah

[stoic palm]

Also hate to be that fella, but most of the community doesn't really support war related content

[sharp kettle]

me making 2 massive war plugins rn

[near notch]

ayeo

[sharp kettle]

1 is going to be private tho

[lofty jasper]

well its advertised so.. also its a cool concept to some people

[near notch]

you gonna have to hit me up when the public one is out

[stoic palm]

Well that's why I said most

[lofty jasper]

I agree yeah

[lofty jasper]

mhm

[sharp kettle]

In possible 3 months? Sure

[near notch]

Sheesh

[lofty jasper]

is it secret for now or could you tell us the idea

[stoic palm]

Don't get me wrong I love a good military unit, I myself have made warscapes. But in the past those suggestions have been So frequent that the community is burnt out

[sharp kettle]

Uh.. one of them is ww2 stuff

[near notch]

JAJAJAJAJ

[sharp kettle]

Tanks, vehicle, city ruins, sand bags, trenches

Stuff like that

[near notch]

That's cool man

I'd make plug-ins if I had the time

[lofty jasper]

oh sweet, im more interested in modern militaries but thats cool

[lofty jasper]

ill advocate for it all day hah, some see this game as a different purpose and thats fine

[near notch]

Modern militaries are cool, but personally I don't really see a lot of ww stuff on the store

[stoic palm]

yeah I'd prefer we didn't push for that too much

Or else I will indeed have to warn ya

[lofty jasper]

well I wont spam it

[lofty jasper]

I agree

[sharp kettle]

Tho ill make the tanks grey

[near notch]

Is that a maus or a tiger 2

The fifth one

AYO A JAGDTIGER

I'm nerding out

🤓

[stoic palm]

Let's watch the caps

Thanks in advance

[drifting creek]

suppressing the urge to capslock

[crimson laurel]

Do not capslock

[drifting creek]

Yessir. Sorrysir

[sharp kettle]

does this count as warnable

[near notch]

I would use my custom phonts but I'm lazy

[sharp kettle]

RemainsStay#3977 cant belive you ghost pingged me

[drifting creek]

Lmao

Made a bad joke

Thought I'd remove it before it was seen

My bad for the ping

[sharp kettle]

Its fine im always watching (not really)

[drifting creek]

O.o

[crimson laurel]

Very good 👍

[near notch]

one thing I've always wanted to see in this game (which in my opinion it would be cool) would be some medevil Japanese stuff, samurai and all that. I know we already have some very nice buildings regarding that time, but still!

even though it's more of fanboy thing, I'd like to see it

[sharp kettle]

Traditional japanese houses and some medival decors would work

Which we kinda have already

[lofty jasper]

medieval japanese military stuff 👍 👍

[near notch]

I'd have to go surfing later to find some more of that

[near notch]

Not sure how it would work, but would be cool

[lofty jasper]

just military siege machines and other things from that time, but it would require some work by devs I would bet since mechanics like that dont really exist

[near notch]

I guess you could reskin the missile launchers with catapults? Not sure though

[static pollen]

yeah but it's 5 pixels wide, it's a bit too big😕

[lunar snow]

yep 5 pixels wide for a car is indeed too big

[livid agate]

yooo @chilly mango

[sharp kettle]

🤨

[chilly mango]

[thorny arrow]

[low loom]

I think im not good anymore (2)

[lunar snow]

Looks nice

[unique pivot]

Interesting

I wonder if will heightmap tool overtake cleanup tool in downloads

[orchid sorrel]

don't forget roof shadows

[thorny arrow]

Yes

Better shadow

Now is the time for template ;))

[orchid sorrel]

I think soft shadows look a bit better

also there are still spots you're missing

[orchid sorrel]

(so maybe add them)

[thorny arrow]

??

[orchid sorrel]

take a closer look

everything casts shadows

[chilly mango]

im not entirely sold on the helipad

the colors stand out too much

[thorny arrow]

Thx

[orchid sorrel]

the shape isn't perfect either

I thought helipads would be circles

[chilly mango]

why

helicopters are clearly rectangular in shape

smh

[thorny arrow]

Better ???

@orchid sorrel

[orchid sorrel]

probably

at least it's symmetrical

nice

[thorny arrow]

[unique pivot]

By the way did anyone test heightmap export tool?

[lunar snow]

Im not even playing theotown lately lol

[lunar snow]

Nice

[hollow cairn]

I tested it, it is fine by me

[storm raft]

this looks good specially its diagonal

[low loom]

Sadly i made my choice

[midnight obsidian]

How dare you make your own choice

I am banning you

[lunar snow]

This is ourtrageous

[strange cloud]

Looking for an tester? I'm in.

[unique pivot]

It's already released, I'm just asking for the experience of people who downloaded it

[livid agate]

doesn't support zoom:// protocol 👎

[unique pivot]

the what

[livid agate]

https://github.com/benbalter/zoom-launcher/issues/6

[low loom]

A choice again

[unique pivot]

did you actually draw it 3 times

or did you continue the old one

[strange cloud]

Coal Loading Station,and Container Loading Facility,gonna make these when i had time.

[low loom]

Ye this one

[low loom]

With base or none

[jolly goblet]

both

[low loom]

That's a double space consumption

[thorn igloo]

I will prefer the one without base,it always gives a scope of customization

[low loom]

Alright then

[orchid scroll]

Nice

[orchid scroll]

Ye

[midnight obsidian]

make that an animation part then

[unique pivot]

suggests removing base of the building
Doesn't remove grass

Get your priorities right

I'd recommend keeping the building base but removing the ground

Hello

Hello good evening

[sharp kettle]

Hi there

[sharp kettle]

Cool

[thorny arrow]

95% of the day frame, and the night mode could be the nightmare

[manic dawn]

Does anybody here have the breakwater plugin?

Is it still useable?

If it is still useable can someone send me a download link

[thorny arrow]

It still on the forum

[hollow cairn]

now the only thing you forgot to post is the download link lol

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=3586&hilit=breakwater

[manic dawn]

I already download it, put it where it should be but it's not appearing in the game

[stoic palm]

It won't show up there

It'll be directly in the park folder

[manic dawn]

Hold up lemme check

Alright, I found it

Thanks for helping me, I'm not used to downloading plugins on the forum

[distant moth]

Can you make a plug-in on mobile?

Also can someone teach me how to make a plug-in?

[echo prairie]

Read pinned messages of this channel

And it's not easy to make plugins on mobile but it is possible

[distant moth]

Little cyberpunk residential pod

[sharp kettle]

Well..

[distant moth]

I have no idea what I'm currently doing

[lunar snow]

5 trucks left

[surreal oasis]

If there is something missing, that breakwater plugin should be a linetool

[low loom]

Why it should be?, I think it's not fine bcuz there's no frame rotation for a line tool you will ended up placing it always on 1 direction if made so

[dapper light]

Holy Scheiße that is beautiful

[rain gate]

is that the bus terminal?

[rain gate]

that's really good

[lunar snow]

really good

[sharp kettle]

Really painful to make

Another 2 hour just making the head of the yacht

[lunar snow]

now make its rotation frames

[thorn igloo]

💀

I felt the same pain while making the other rotation frames of Boeing 747s

[sharp kettle]

It better get a very positive rating..

or else im deleting the whole thing

[sharp kettle]

im not in the best mood rn, ill probably not do it now..

[tawny geode]

[sharp kettle]

[static pollen]

Bruh ok

[sharp kettle]

Now well.. should i make the back frames for this one and finnish it

#plugin-discussion message

[midnight obsidian]

as a plugin store moderator, i should probably mention that i will be strict regarding plugin texture space usage

i will disapprove plugins with inefficient use of plugin texture, i.e. empty rows of pixels above the building, repetitive skyscrapers not utilizing animations, extremely wasteful night animations, etc.

[livid agate]

dsa frames

[livid agate]

can't you type in #builder-content

[midnight obsidian]

I can

But i can't be bothered

Wtf 1984

Can you tell me time when you're asleep so I can avoid you

It's not like I don't leave empty pixels and that I know how to make animations but still

[livid agate]

you've seen me awake?

If you're doing everything while asleep that's admirable
