there we go

I always call you Bokoloko until now

[dry acorn]

Does anybody know a plugin that creates a zombies apocalypse scenario

[stoic palm]

None currently

[low loom]

Add MIT license

Damn it was hard to change road deco animation with lua

[lunar snow]

who

[low loom]

It would be 'remove and build' mechanism to change the phase of the traffic lights

[low loom]

I mean add a license since you opened source these

[lunar snow]

Interesting

what's the license and how do I add it

[low loom]

A condition of using your plugin as template and so on

[lunar snow]

woah

this is what I need

So how do I add it

[low loom]

Like include your names or contributors whenever they used it as template or in publication

You should probably make a GitHub account

[lunar snow]

do you have an example of this license

[low loom]

Tge text cutted off

[lunar snow]

cool

can you send me this file

[low loom]

I will dm it to you instead

[lunar snow]

nice

[dim thorn]

Turning torso

Maybe

[lunar snow]

Cool

[strange cloud]

Leaf,truck progress halted.

Need break once a while.

[lunar snow]

ofc

@strange cloud one question tho

have you test them

since each trailer has a different length btw

I think you have known this

[strange cloud]

Error,and it's obviously on night animation and stuff...

[lunar snow]

yet you still claim you have done 1/2 of it?

[bold veldt]

How can i download it ?

[strange cloud]

No progress since last time,i feel asleep.

[lunar snow]

have you tested them yet before claiming you have finished 1/2 of them

[dim thorn]

Eeeee

[lunar snow]

each trailer has a different length so the x,y will be very different

[dim thorn]

Ok I pull up

[strange cloud]

No,i didn't,i need to do animation work once again...

[lunar snow]

F

then no work has been done then

spawn a truck with trailer that you want to test like I did to test them

[strange cloud]

Alrighty,i do it later.

[lunar snow]

great

for once, I really thought there is progress on this plugin lol

[strange cloud]

Normally when i had issues,i just look for workaround,or just fix it if i can.

[lunar snow]

Im afraid you will need to fix it from the start

complete redo of it

[strange cloud]

Found out the issue why,i guess some letter in your language keyboard had different unicode.

[lunar snow]

just do what you need to do and test it before claiming it's done

[strange cloud]

Can't find other truck with that chasis, because the Details is too small.

[lunar snow]

this is wrong

ok this is not wrong

i am wrong

keep on the good work👍

[thorny arrow]

Windows spamming times 🔥

[dim thorn]

Good job man

[rain gate]

[orchid sorrel]

yes it looks great

I just want smooth shading for the large chimney thing

[static pollen]

Can i suggest something ?

Great too

[rain gate]

I don't think it's available on the plugin store

It's a private plugin iirc

No wait

[lunar snow]

no it's a private plugin

[grave gust]

Super-plugin is coming

[sinful meadow]

Olimpix

[grave gust]

i hate curves

[surreal oasis]

[orchid scroll]

[dim thorn]

[lunar snow]

Yes

[lunar snow]

@rain gate this is the plugin

[dreamy hearth]

guys I need your opinions, which one is better?
white wall
or
dark gray wall

[stoic palm]

@dreamy hearth what's the building

[dreamy hearth]

just doing changes to the main building frame rn

[thorny arrow]

Gray wall is the best

[dim thorn]

Bruh

too long?

[dreamy hearth]

lmao not at all

[lunar snow]

will you update the windows texture soon tho

np

[stoic palm]

fresh and clean!

[dreamy hearth]

yeah, those windows are just placeholders for the time being until I finish the frame and the roof

[lunar snow]

cool

I can always help you with the windows texture btw @dreamy hearth

[dim thorn]

Very fast

[lunar snow]

I can send you my Phat Linh hotel as a template and reference

if you use paint.net tho

[lunar snow]

Yep that's too long

[dreamy hearth]

ooh thanks if you want, lemme just finish much of the building and I can send you the paint.net file

[lunar snow]

oh I don't have time to do the windows texture for you sadly

But I can give you my Phat Linh hotel window texture so you can use it as a reference

[dim thorn]

what should i do now

[lunar snow]

you should shorten the dia frames obv

diaogonal frames are weird

[dreamy hearth]

alright that works too

thanks so much

[lunar snow]

ight I'm at school rn so I will send you the file later

[lunar snow]

you can use my truck frames as a reference for your train

the file is pinned btw

[dreamy hearth]

wait wait, u got school at the 21st of December?

[lunar snow]

we don't do winter break

only new year and tết

[dim thorn]

Okay

[dreamy hearth]

I see

[lapis moat]

Top right of the screen, green download arrow

Oooh

That's a bit more complicated

Eh.. I'd explain but, I kinda need some sleep..

[stoic palm]

let's move to #plugin-support

[dreamy hearth]

progress for today

[low loom]

Looking forward into it

Do you have any reference

[rich birch]

So beautiful

[low loom]

Yeah, but the shape was a bit unusual

[rich birch]

Don't rotate your map then..

[pale ferry]

It depends on the plugin

Not a lot of building plugins has that feature since its purely optional and youll have to draw 3 other frames of the building in different perspectives, which is tedious

[stoic palm]

Very rarely do plugins have rotation frames due to the extra apace they take up

It's much easier and much more user friendly to keep the files as small as possible

[pale ferry]

I agree

[dreamy hearth]

with my building's layout, rotation is impossible

[low loom]

Col

[grave gust]

finally

[lunar snow]

cool

[low loom]

Android user hardly pressing next button in toolbar

[grave gust]

what

whtttttttt

what's wrong, everything is fine

[crimson basin]

category would be sports

If it is a sport influence thing

[lunar snow]

Hmmm

maybe make your custom category draft load first

@grave gust

[hollow cairn]

yes elder firetruck! It's better to just build a city that looks good on one side

[lunar snow]

rotation mode should be deleted or hidden lmao

[rich birch]

they should be

[lunar snow]

@sinful meadow i wonder how the progress of this

[sinful meadow]

||Still no progress ||

[lunar snow]

F

[sinful meadow]

Sheees

[lunar snow]

Good luck then

[grave gust]

Does anyone have a fence code?

[rain gate]

FV-101 Scorpion

[crimson basin]

might have to add textures on the green darker side later cause it looks odd

[earnest shadow]

Kinda needs depth

[crimson basin]

depth as in how?

[earnest shadow]

Hold on

[crimson basin]

its a pretty tall building which is supposed to be kind of flat

this is what the building reallly looks like (mine has some inaccuracies i suppose)

[earnest shadow]

Simple projection of window depth and pillars

[crimson basin]

there arent any pillaers

pillars

and fixing the windows would require me to go back and edit the windows of 5 buildings

[earnest shadow]

Oh alr, have it your way

[lunar snow]

nice

[crimson basin]

is it just me who has more plugins which is started than finished?

[crimson basin]

lol i saw that, and ghost ping be like 👀

[static pollen]

🅱️

Jk good start

[rain gate]

a little less dark😅

[hollow cairn]

idk

[summer kestrel]

Looks like an inflated building idk why?

[hollow cairn]

technically the irl building looks inflated though

[midnight obsidian]

It is a bank

Inflation makes perfect sense

[hollow cairn]

lmfao

[sinful meadow]

Kool

[grave gust]

wtf

again

test 26

[crimson basin]

RINGS is not a category

[crimson basin]

oh

[grave gust]

I don't know what is happening, it is a plugin error to find the category and everything is fine

[orchid sorrel]

most likely you are not loading your jsons in proper order

simply combine them in a single file and make sure the categories get loaded before they are referenced

[sick nebula]

started adding textures

[orchid sorrel]

fancy

[grave gust]

I have tried another, and the same problem occurs. It seems that it does not find the category, but once I remove that dependency everything is fine.

[orchid sorrel]

I have told you the solution

[grave gust]

i'll try

[low loom]

Fancy

[midnight obsidian]

stop, this is too good

[grave gust]

success

ssuccess

[low loom]

Cool

[crimson laurel]

Wait, didn't ADutchGuy make the same building some time ago?

Anyways, it's looking awesome

[midnight obsidian]

smart plugin

[sick nebula]

Yep, but i need my own with realistic size, new shadows, colors and ability to put this into block of buildings . Also i draw with a little bit difference in isometric, so corners that i have are 2 pixels length, not 4.

[crimson laurel]

Yeah, I noticed the differences in size, scale and detailing. It isn't a bad thing to have two versions of the same building, honestly

[grave gust]

Pole vault and Long Jump

[red igloo]

Ooh

[static pollen]

People need shadows

But nice anw

[lunar snow]

Cool

[lunar snow]

[lunar snow]

Nice

[strange cloud]

Finally sport stuff that actually Modulable.

[rich birch]

[lunar snow]

I love stadiums

Anyway, my plugin is oriented to the olympic games, not stadiums

[lunar snow]

I can see that

[grave gust]

every day more schizophrenic

[lunar snow]

Yo gonna make all of that? @grave gust

[grave gust]

i will try

xd

[agile fog]

I wonder how to make pack plugin like this

[lunar snow]

Cool

[lunar snow]

The scale of this plugin will be large if you do that lol

[grave gust]

[crimson basin]

[low loom]

Isn't look like a traffic lights?

[static sail]

Sorry, I mean is this a single lane road traffic lights?

[rain gate]

Well, let's just see how he shades it, though I'm expecting details on them

Not just random ungood looking grass

Decal

[lunar snow]

yes

i hope it wont end up like another "anhkatori" building

[low loom]

No, ido just use it as a template

[static sail]

A'ight

[low loom]

But it will work either way

[glad lynx]

Bosowa tower

[polar crown]

hello i want to create my first plugin

i have already road the guides in the TT forumes but dident understand much

[thorny arrow]

check the pinned

[polar crown]

im at pure absolute rock bottom programing knowledge

have never done it

nor i know anything of it

i was looking mostly on how i can code the plugins

basically like assembling the image to the code something like that

[static pollen]

tbh it's easier to learn how to make a plugin when a specific person guides you, rather than reading big texts

but I don't have time to help you sorry

[polar crown]

its common sense but obviously i cant provide that for myself

thanks anyway

[static pollen]

I learned to make plugins through experience, anyway when I asked how to code I was told to go look at the pins and I didn't understand anything, but someone told me to go on pca one day and I quickly understood

[surreal oasis]

PCA.

Use it

[neat lake]

Hmm

[low loom]

Beautiful

Uhmm rotation awareness?

[strange cloud]

I guess no

[neat lake]

Not have rotation aware

[low loom]

😦

[stray radish]

Where i find this stadium???

[orchid scroll]

Nowhere

It's not available yet

[stray radish]

You Make ,it ??

[echo prairie]

@midnight obsidian accept this

[orchid scroll]

,no$

[grave gust]

Finally

what

it does not work?

[uncut acorn]

Why not?

[stray radish]

Also this Stadium
I see more of plugins but i can't find it in Store

[low loom]

Wow

[surreal oasis]

post it on showcase my man

[uncut acorn]

Wow! If someone make big stadiums, I'll put them in my upcoming YT video of "Top 10 Biggest Stadiums in TheoTown". Only if the plugins are released.

[orchid scroll]

It's not released in the store, you can find it in the Indonesian TT Facebook Group

[rich birch]

wait!! is the file there?

I've been looking for it for a long time

[orchid scroll]

I think so

[rich birch]

Anyway
Which roof is better?
🅰️ Bright one
🅱️ Dark one

[surreal oasis]

dire frustration

p.s thats my plugin

[lunar snow]

@tidal glen why's there so many chimneys on the cantacuzino castle lol

[tidal glen]

It's a old building

From like the 18th

[lunar snow]

i've counted like 18 chimneys lol

[tidal glen]

No gas back then

Just the good old wood

[lunar snow]

chimneys design for the castle

cant do more details on it since the pixel size limitation

maybe i could the colors when i do the texture

[strange cloud]

W/smoke anim?

[lunar snow]

nope

ight this is all for now

i will do the rest later

[strange cloud]

A railway station?

[midnight obsidian]

18th century, 18 chimneys

[thorny arrow]

@lunar snow
@tidal glen
I'm now able to make the roof 🥳

But i need to remake it again 🥴

[thorny arrow]

More progress :)))

[crimson basin]

Wow thats amazing

[crimson basin]

I love how jsons want to fight me over a freaking missing comma 😭

[rich birch]

T^T

[rain gate]

Moss🤤

[crimson basin]

Pretttyy

2 more sets to go. Im getting sleepy doing this.

[orchid scroll]

Keep trying till you figured it out

[crimson basin]

If its your first plugin you should try doing a 2x2

Its simpler with fewer aspects

[lunar snow]

Nice

[midnight obsidian]

C++ when you forget a semicolon

[crimson basin]

Can you approve this after im done 😭
I did animations to make you happy
Its already 698 lines long and theres one more building

Though o do gotta get king to test this again

[tidal glen]

🎉 🎉

[rich birch]

How to fix this -_-

[agile fog]

What you guys prefer.. a big stadium 12x12 - 14-14 or small capacity stadium 8x8?

[rich birch]

12x12 sound good and free lag
But it's okay if you do the 14x14

[surreal oasis]

draw ground

[orchid scroll]

What's the max tile size of a plugin

[rich birch]

16x16

[orchid scroll]

So I need to split it into some parts if it's 18x18

[static pollen]

it wouldn't have happened before spring 2021

[stray radish]

Small stadium 8×8
Big arena 10×10

[rich birch]

Yuh
it's better to just create a modulable with a size of 9x9 (4 pieces)

[summer kestrel]

Hm?

What do you need help in, which can be solved by a normal fellow loke me?

[sick nebula]

PKP?

[thorny arrow]

More progress

😩

[crimson basin]

looks like you might need a higher contrast between the walls

but youre doing a good job i think

those are some very high windows though ngl

[surreal oasis]

letsgoooooó

[crimson basin]

they are very high though. how tall is a human?

[lunar snow]

that's fine if you are talking about that 3 pixel tall window

[crimson basin]

i thought it was 1 story building

[sick nebula]

To proof that i was guessing right:)

[rich birch]

Guys i need a help
I'm confused which thumbnail is better to use for plugin store
A.Speedboat 🚤
B.Sailboat ⛵

[rich birch]

Bismillah
Here we go!

[low loom]

Looks good

[rich birch]

Thank u

[orchid sorrel]

why does it get wider on one end

[summer kestrel]

Looks like it turned

[crimson basin]

make each line the same width

or something like that

that roof looks funky

[orchid sorrel]

why

flat is booring

[midnight obsidian]

ok

[crimson basin]

you gotta make the other side steep too

both sides are symmetrical hence should look the same

[orchid sorrel]

not true

that's not how perspective works

it would make it flat

[crimson basin]

no i meant like

[orchid sorrel]

try checking the pins

[midnight obsidian]

kulche

[crimson basin]

the corner closest to the screen the roof is 7 pixels and on the other side its 1 pixxel

[midnight obsidian]

remember this?

[orchid sorrel]

stop

[midnight obsidian]

no

[orchid sorrel]

😡

[orchid sorrel]

this is incomprehensible

[strange cloud]

For anyone who can do lua, could you verify if this correctly done?

[crimson basin]

im sorry, im aweful at explaining 😭

[midnight obsidian]

#plugin-lua-and-fun would be better for this

[strange cloud]

I did post it.

[orchid sorrel]

then don't post it here

once is enough, we can see it

[crimson basin]

what kind of roof are you going for

my first roof looks weird but cute xD

what is "hip"

but what makes a roof hip

okayy

[midnight obsidian]

refer to this, the roof you're making is less slanted but this should still work

oh wait

actually it should still be similar

it's not that easy

[orchid sorrel]

ah yes, just make a new tutorial

[midnight obsidian]

but still, you can make it out from that image that you can only see two sides

[orchid sorrel]

you know you can just experiment around on your own

it's basic geometry and you can find a plenty of tutorials online

actually all you have to do is to raise it

[midnight obsidian]

funny project

no

no

it's not a prison

okay but fyi, it's not a prison

this very much reminds me of piano keys

[rain gate]

💀

[midnight obsidian]

okay yes it looks good when stacked

[crimson basin]

ooh prettyy

[midnight obsidian]

if you're a typical vilnius enthusiast you'll know what this building is

[summer kestrel]

Apartment?

[midnight obsidian]

no

[crimson basin]

help?

[summer kestrel]

#plugin-lua-and-fun

[crimson basin]

scripting is for lua

this is json

[summer kestrel]

Grr

I hate looking at codes

[crimson basin]

apparently its not code but "drafting"

and its not fun

[crimson basin]

honestly thought i fixeed it but noooo, he still wants to fight me

[orchid sorrel]

you have some missing commas

[crimson basin]

i dont know where to put the commas

[midnight obsidian]

end of each line

[orchid sorrel]

that has an additional key after it

[crimson basin]

its always with the commas 😭
why does it require so many?

[summer kestrel]

Punctuation rules

[midnight obsidian]

if i had to guess, more readable

but idk

[crimson basin]

frustrating

I like doing the drawings but i dont like jason

Good luck

[livid agate]

nicest place outside Šiauliai

[summer kestrel]

inside*

[crimson basin]

the game finally stopped giving me errors yay

[crimson basin]

*well, it works, sorta. except now i have new problems

1. the ground shadows are wrong and i have to fix it for all 5 buildings
2. the other 4 buildings doesnt appear in game for some reason*

depends if the plugin moderators like it

i think the 2nd one is a problem with the manifest file

actually i have no idea what im doing

how do manifest files work?

I just dont understand how it works or what it does

i learn differently from most people. without knowing why, i cant understand

[orchid sorrel]

it carries some basic general information about your plugin and allows it to be used in online mode

[crimson basin]

if it has more than one building, does it require commas? 👀
and how does it know what building im talking about?

[orchid sorrel]

1. ???
2. plugin != building

[crimson basin]

confusion

for 1 i meant if the manifest file is for 5 buildings, do they need to be separated by commas

[orchid sorrel]

a manifest is for a plugin

not for a building

you can cram multiple buildings into a plugin

refer to the tutorial to see how it works

[crimson basin]

oh then why arent 4 of my buildings showing up in the game?
i thought it was a manifest file problem

[orchid sorrel]

json problem 100%

[crimson basin]

i hate json so much

[orchid sorrel]

json is piss easy once you figure out thw format

just use jsonlint

[crimson basin]

im done with this why is it so long

i dont think you know what im talking about

[orchid sorrel]

what is long

[crimson basin]

the json

its over 950 lines

xD

[orchid sorrel]

tf have you done to it

[crimson basin]

i havent done one this long yet

[crimson basin]

animations like you asked for, for 5 buildings

with night animations

[orchid sorrel]

lol

would use lua myself but that's not for you I think

[crimson basin]

each building has 25 floos, plus a roof

[crimson basin]

no thankyou, im already suffering with this man (jason)

what 😭
this was working beforee

okay i cant figure out how to get the other buildings to appear

what?

im not even using that

what would i even use count for?

there arent

1

[rain gate]

That looks good

[white snow]

Am i the only one who understands how this is made?

I'll show it later how

I think i got the idea how

[midnight obsidian]

Honestly i don't understand how people can't make such roof

Like, you can only see two sides in that image

Why are you trying to make four sides visible

[orchid scroll]

Could this be an example

[lunar snow]

oh we are talking about roof

kek

[orchid scroll]

Hippity hoppity

[uncut acorn]

I better improve the mall if needed

[lunar snow]

yes

You should improve all of it

[uncut acorn]

I know but where should I improve

I got shadows

But what's missing?

[orchid scroll]

The texture

[white snow]

it really wasn't that hard

[neat lake]

Or maybe like this

[lunar snow]

roof meeting

[low loom]

The slope from the back was abit short

[white snow]

i was kinda busy today so i didn't think of it

[low loom]

Yeah sure

[neat lake]

Da kokonut tree

[warm spruce]

can someone help me real quick

i made a useful bush fence, but i have no idea how to code fences, and no time to learn either

can someone help me do it or at least explain it? i can pay in diamonds maybe and you can post it as your plugin and take credits ig

[rich birch]

Beautiful palm

[thorny arrow]

👀

[orchid scroll]

If u eat too much

[strange cloud]

You get very fat.

[carmine hemlock]

The existing Seoul buses were integrated with different paints

[surreal oasis]

based of vanilla ones ofc

[dreamy hearth]

Glad to see the improvements you've done

[dreamy hearth]

also, I could give you my solar panel textures if you want

[strange cloud]

Try this one:

[orchid sorrel]

then... resize it?

[rich birch]

Hi boss
any suggestions for this plugin project?

[summer kestrel]

The roof and entrance could need tweaking but the building itself is fantastic

[orchid scroll]

No

[neat lake]

Nah

[thorny arrow]

What it could be
👀

[neat lake]

[orchid scroll]

What did you change lol

[neat lake]

Im really can't stop singing that song while make this

[orchid scroll]

Giant nut

[neat lake]

Its not a nut

[rich birch]

Oh my gosh
They're so beautiful
Too bad I can't use it as a marina decoration

⛵

[neat lake]

Thanks
Hmm

[thorny arrow]

You sang the holy song of Coconut?

Now is the perfect time for making the balconies and smaller details

@lunar snow

[rich birch]

So beautiful

[crimson basin]

It really is <3

[thorny arrow]

@crimson basin
Do you know about the animation code ??

[crimson basin]

Kulche told me how to fix it and im trying to i dont exactly know what im doing but no better way to learn than trial and error right?

This is my first pack and the first buildings im using animations in

[rich birch]

Bunny
Why i can't see your nick name now?

Oh nvm..

[crimson basin]

JA

And the funny part is i dont even know how JS works

[midnight obsidian]

animation dev tool

[crimson basin]

Whats that?

[midnight obsidian]

an amazing tool which helps with aligning animations

[crimson basin]

My animations are correct, my problem was that only one of the 5 buildings were appearing

[orchid sorrel]

have you solved it by now

[crimson basin]

And im trying to shorten the json before i add the brrackets

[orchid sorrel]

it's a really simple fix

[crimson basin]

I dont know

Im getting rid of all the lines

[orchid sorrel]

I assume you just mean shortening the json

and not removing actual content

[crimson basin]

This is how you said to do it right?

[midnight obsidian]

i almost thought that was on microsoft word

[crimson basin]

im not messing with the content anymore

[orchid sorrel]

yes it looks nicer now

[crimson basin]

Notepad

[midnight obsidian]

https://www.take-a-screenshot.com

[orchid sorrel]

also, download vsc

using notepad for json must be pain

[crimson basin]

Rtobby i know how to take a screenshot i just dont have discord open on pc rn

[surreal oasis]

[midnight obsidian]

[lunar snow]

[low loom]

Propose to dsa

[orchid scroll]

[midnight obsidian]

brutalist mess lol

[low loom]

I don't see brutal

Vibe

[midnight obsidian]

oh nice

it's actually supposed to be the hall of press (spaudos rūmai) in vilnius

[low loom]

Yeah keep up

Damn the height ruined everything

The short version was nice

[midnight obsidian]

i mean, i will use animations

[low loom]

Yeah id just say i don't like the height of the reference

I'd love minimal height for government buildings

[thorny arrow]

@midnight obsidian

[thorny arrow]

Can i have that core 🥰

[midnight obsidian]

what core

wtf

[thorny arrow]

This core

[summer kestrel]

What is core?

[midnight obsidian]

what do you mean core

[thorny arrow]

For me, Core is the first part of a building sketch that is usually very simple and doesn't have too many details ( only windows)

[midnight obsidian]

oh

well i'm planning to upload this once i finish

[thorny arrow]

Could you give me that CORE, i'll remake that then credit you @midnight obsidian ??

[midnight obsidian]

i'll do the plugin myself, no need for help

[summer kestrel]

He wants the base texture from what I can tell. Maybe I am wrong.

Not taking a part in the plugin but using your texture somewhere else maybe?

[thorny arrow]

Yeah, something like that

[midnight obsidian]

i don't know where would you use it though lol

[thorny arrow]

My next plugin's base textures :))

[midnight obsidian]

but what would you try to make from this

[thorny arrow]

Some random buildings

[lunar snow]

Nice building for c:i

[thorny arrow]

C:i ???

[crimson basin]

Complex industrial

[midnight obsidian]

it's not for complex industri

[lunar snow]

lie

[crimson basin]

Wait did the json just become 391 lines from 950 plus lines i had before? 0.0
