Cool design

[waxen pivot]

Hmm, something doesn’t work for me at all to draw a plug-in in 3D

not at all what I wanted

[crimson basin]

uh

yea

[waxen pivot]

can you give me some advice on how to fix this building?

It was supposed to be a paper factory

[crimson basin]

tutorials

[waxen pivot]

Thanks, I'll try to fix it!

[crimson basin]

your building is aslo oversized

but is understandable, remembering what my first one looked like

[waxen pivot]

I love big buildings, the idea is to be a fairly large paper factory with 3,500 employees.

In general, my ultimate goal is to make my own set, according to which it will be possible to fit the city of a millionaire into half a regilna

[orchid sorrel]

it looks nothing like ingame buildings and was probably put together in 47 seconds

please see a tutorial

[lunar snow]

lol

[waxen pivot]

45 min

[crimson basin]

kulche being brutally honest

[misty pawn]

Love the colors tho

[waxen pivot]

it is worth noting that my first building took 3 hours of real time

[crimson basin]

the other one?

[waxen pivot]

I'm talking about this building

[crimson basin]

for TT pixel, each pixel is drawn by hand. one by one

[waxen pivot]

Is there a tutorial on how to make big buildings

[crimson basin]

the building looks amazing but not for TT

[crimson basin]

the tutorial...

for big buildings youd increase the height by using more floors

[waxen pivot]

Okay

[orchid sorrel]

sounds a little excessive

anyway, practice makes perfect

[waxen pivot]

I'll try to fix the building

[lunar snow]

Goodh

[crimson basin]

kulche

have you done any balconies?

[orchid sorrel]

yes, why?

[crimson basin]

i want to see one

im having trouble with mine

most TT buildings dont have blaconies

[orchid sorrel]

just take look at the world texture

they do

not all, but some do

[crimson basin]

im probably blind then lol, ill see through them

why are there really weird things in the world texture

[orchid sorrel]

like what

[crimson basin]

whatever these are

[lunar snow]

Those are avatars of the creators

[crimson basin]

ah

okay lol

i was so confused seeing them

[sharp kettle]

I think the first pic is theo? Right?

[lunar snow]

btw did Lucas King make music for theotown or did theotown take Lucas King's music

[sharp kettle]

Then the second is lucas king

[sharp kettle]

Pretty sure lucas make music for TT

Theres a music lucas uploaded named Theotown or something

[crimson basin]

3rd is lobby ig?

[crimson basin]

lol

1 phan hoi

[sharp kettle]

I miss bensound musics

[lunar snow]

ye same

[sharp kettle]

I mean.. i could add them in Right now

[lunar snow]

bensound music era was a hell of an era

2017-2018 I think

[crimson basin]

i love how TT devs work so incognito and that we know most of them based on their pen names

[lunar snow]

Have so many memories with bensound music

[sharp kettle]

Pen.. names?

[lunar snow]

nickname

[orchid sorrel]

probably 'nicknames'

[sharp kettle]

Ben sound are cheering

Lucas ones are calming

[crimson basin]

what are these random things

[lunar snow]

Yes

[crimson basin]

ye, but ig pen names are more used by authors who dont write under their real names

[orchid sorrel]

buildings??

[sharp kettle]

Maybe the weird box

[orchid sorrel]

also, why is your world texture so blurry

[orchid sorrel]

unused texture space

[crimson basin]

idk 😭

[sharp kettle]

Ah

[lunar snow]

She downloaded the preview

[crimson basin]

ye

[lunar snow]

not the file itself

[crimson basin]

cause they were even blurrier on the web

[orchid sorrel]

you're trying to find a balcony on this blurry mess???

god

[crimson basin]

yea...

[sharp kettle]

Dont want anyone know about my real name

[orchid sorrel]

no wonder you can't find them

[lunar snow]

How hard is it to make a balcony btw

[orchid sorrel]

aren't you an experienced plugin creator

[midnight obsidian]

prankd!

[lunar snow]

I am an experienced plugin creator thanks

[midnight obsidian]

this is a very pretty pink color

[crimson basin]

idk i looked at buildings while at school while i was playing it. saw a very interestin wall but no balconies

[lunar snow]

or as they said it in Lithuania

Qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm

[sharp kettle]

I have these balconies

[crimson basin]

sdo only full baconies exist?

[sharp kettle]

Huh

[orchid sorrel]

what kind of a balcony is a partial balcony

[crimson basin]

im trying to do kind of like this

[lunar snow]

ah

[orchid sorrel]

that's a full balcony???

[crimson basin]

split and not the whole wall

[lunar snow]

can be tricky I gotta say

[orchid sorrel]

it's probably a matter of 16 pixels or something

[midnight obsidian]

false

"I am an experienced plugin creator thanks" is "Aš esu patyręs papildinių kūrėjas, ačiū" in lithuanian

#language-bar

[midnight obsidian]

i am simply correcting the leaf's statement

[livid agate]

KSG savo galva

[crimson basin]

if the whole balcony wall was concrete, what would the the thickness be? and how far would it be from the building

[sharp kettle]

I think youre overthinking it-

[orchid sorrel]

this tells me nothing

refer to the world texture

[lunar snow]

I'm sure that balcony is 2x4

or smth like that

[crimson basin]

i think you saw the one i drew

[sharp kettle]

I dont think i did

Nah i didnt saw it

[thick mural]

If I want to draw a shadow of a building, how much black transparency should I use?

[simple slate]

Excuse me, does anyone know if the creator of Sergio complements is on the server? or roña sucia ?

Ropa sucia *

[hard sapphire]

What......?

[simple slate]

I'm looking for two plugin creators one is called Sergio and the other ropa sucia

Do you know if they are in the forum?

I can't find them lol

also I did not know where to put this even though I think it would have been better in general sorry

[rich birch]

hey i have that besound music file.. do you really want it? i will send you the link

[sharp kettle]

Nah, i also have it

[crimson basin]

all plugin creators are on the forum

[simple slate]

Ohhh ok thanks!

[sharp kettle]

Might add them to the song files

Kinda miss it

Bout to start using zones again if i hear bensound music in TT

[waxen pivot]

hmmmm, I got the idea to make a road repair package, that is, this package will contain equipment with which the roads are asphalted. What do you think?

[sharp kettle]

That plugin exist, but you can make more of its kind

Feel free to do so

[crimson basin]

@waxen pivot are you finding x and y to add an animation to the building?

this is how its done

y is is a negative value. i usually dont play with x

[sharp kettle]

How to do that

[crimson basin]

arent you like better at p;ugin making than me?

[sharp kettle]

Yeah, i use my fingers to count each pixels on my screen

[crimson basin]

same. actually i just try eyeballing it and then i fix the json each time till its aligned

[sharp kettle]

I mean.. im just decent at making the graphics

[crimson basin]

i eyeball the first time then i go in game and count hoe many its off by

[sharp kettle]

Dosent mean im a master at making the json

[crimson basin]

yeah, youre quite popular, people know fitamint

theres a lot of people that ask about your plugins so youre obvioudly doin something amazingly :>

[sharp kettle]

TT Just lacks decorations i wanted and needed so i make them

And then i uploaded them

[waxen pivot]

can you please name?

[sharp kettle]

I downloaded it about a year ago.. maybe, idk i forgot it

[waxen pivot]

sorry, but try to find it 🙂

[sharp kettle]

I dont want to.. you wanted to download it you do it 💊

Also im in school rn

[crimson basin]

search roads in the plugin search thing

or asphalt

or both together

im sure youll find something

[waxen pivot]

well, how about plugins that add conditional cranes, or bulldozers for Role Play construction

[sharp kettle]

Those exist

[crimson basin]

i know leaf makes those but they arent in the plugin store

yeah they exists you just need to search for them

[crimson basin]

https://forum.theotown.com/plugins/list?term=asphalt+road

[sharp kettle]

Theres lots in The store too

[crimson basin]

thats the store

im too lazy to open TT rn

[waxen pivot]

what about these?

[sharp kettle]

I was refering to this

[crimson basin]

ah

[sharp kettle]

Theres lots of construction plugins in the store

[crimson basin]

yeah

[waxen pivot]

but I can't find them. because I live in Ukraine, I type construction or construction sites into the search in my language, and so on, and it doesn’t give me anything.

[sharp kettle]

English works

[crimson basin]

^

69 results for construction

[thick mural]

If I want to draw a shadow of a building, how much transparency black should I use to achieve the goal?

[odd egret]

0-15%

it's better if you test few variations and pick on your owm

[crimson basin]

id say 10-25

[lunar snow]

In paint.net

I use 90-135

but anyway I will give the sample later

[waxen pivot]

?

[lunar snow]

I think my plugin can satisfy your need

[waxen pivot]

Hmm, pretty good plugin.

[lunar snow]

Thanks

[waxen pivot]

It can be downloaded from within the game.

?

[thin wraith]

that looks awesome

[thin wraith]

should be able to

[lunar snow]

Yes you search it in the plugin store

[thin wraith]

seems to be in the plugin store

yeah

[lunar snow]

Thanks

[waxen pivot]

I have one question for you, how do you manage to draw beautiful plug-ins?

When I draw a plugin, I get very so-so

[thin wraith]

there are some tutorials in forums

[sharp kettle]

I mean.. practie makes Perfect

[waxen pivot]

Or should I learn to draw?

[thin wraith]

also practice

[waxen pivot]

Tutorials don't help me

[sharp kettle]

Do you start out having a super good art

My first plugin is not the best

You just gotta keep learning and drawing

[waxen pivot]

I feel like I can only draw

or just residences

[lunar snow]

ah yes, back when I thought drawing these was hard and vehicles were impossible to draw

[waxen pivot]

are you doing this in 3d?

maybe the problem with my drawing is that I draw on a tablet, because I don’t have a PC

[sharp kettle]

Hes not doing that in 3d

[thin wraith]

he doesn't

[sharp kettle]

Hes drawing that as a plugin

I draw on a phone..

[thin wraith]

it's for reference(?)

[tidal glen]

And it came out the best construction pack plugin

[lunar snow]

yep lol

lmao @unreal breach

you are a prophet

[sharp kettle]

Stuckenborsteel got invaded by a p1000 ratte because of me

[lunar snow]

[sharp kettle]

The sd kfz

One sec

[lunar snow]

I mean if you painted it with a different colour then I think it would look like a German tank

[sharp kettle]

True

[lunar snow]

nice

[sharp kettle]

Might actually be the first ever decent car i made

[lunar snow]

lol

[sharp kettle]

Nyeh, if theyre really gone ill remake it maybe
Ill make it better
More recognizable
Better colors

[lunar snow]

[lunar snow]

[sharp kettle]

Yeah id do that

But id rather make it from scratch again

[bold warren]

Is this your personal plugin?

[sharp kettle]

Its supposed to be a WW2 mega plugin

[static pollen]

What

[static pollen]

[unique pivot]

You can

I've done that

With my own plugins

If it won't give you the source it can at least help

[tidal glen]

Smh, you shouldve done 10

Now bokolo wont know if i replied 😒

[tidal glen]

If any of you have a problem feel free to ping. If I see a argue or swerings I will not hesitate to warn.

Thanks 👍

[rain gate]

Outrageous

[tidal glen]

@rain gate that applies for you to

[rain gate]

I just tried to make a joke

About that tank

[tidal glen]

Ok, you can make suggestions and etc but don't say It's trash or etc directly whiteout a context bczbit can be interpret wrong. And here we discuss about the plugins not other things.

[sharp kettle]

No like, youre very direct about stuff

So i did not hink of it as a joke

for the first time

Last resort

[rain gate]

Viable

[sharp kettle]

If i can change the canvas size quickly as im drawing i wouldve choosen this the first time

[static pollen]

Uh

[sharp kettle]

U said somethig about dm

[lunar snow]

[oblique tundra]

👀

Me too

[sharp kettle]

i.. err

the graphics of the tank was still bootleg anyway

even i accidentally made a soviet tank in the process.

[midnight obsidian]

Dude i can now steal your plugin

[lunar snow]

nice

you can steal this tho

it has raw file of vehicles in it

but it got merged with other layers

technically you can steal some vehicles via this

but people are lazy

they wont do that

[static pollen]

hmm well, do you want to know or not? in any case I will not use anything

[sharp kettle]

what?

[static pollen]

it takes 1min to get them

[sharp kettle]

wdym

i dont get it

[static pollen]

did you lose them?

[sharp kettle]

idk

but i accidentally removed the zip

from the plugin folder

dont know where it is

id rather remake it

[static pollen]

Your choice then

[sharp kettle]

but im not trying to make ww2 plugins rn..

or any plugins

[thick mural]

How about this one?@lunar snow

[lunar snow]

which one

[thick mural]

The one with the red roof.👆

[lunar snow]

that one is fine ig

[thick mural]

Does it meet the requirements in your mind?

[thick mural]

Is this tool dedicated to the drawing of buildings?

[lunar snow]

that's paint.net and yes

you can use it to draw everything

[lunar snow]

anddd the spread sheet just got expanded by double

i can proudly say that the nebo-u radar is near completion

[thick mural]

Is this better than the previous one?

[lunar snow]

nice

i think it is ye

[thick mural]

I need some criticism based on objective facts.

[lunar snow]

the Nebo-U radar is completed

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1074178935203569715.webp?size=48&quality=lossless

next is RS-24 Yars

well it is supposed to be a radar but I accidentally made a vote and the people chose this so

[lunar snow]

this is looking good actually

2 is completed, 2 is under progress

and only 12 left

[orchid sorrel]

please fix the shadows 😩

[sharp kettle]

[sinful meadow]

The leaf making tanks,

||Just like the vegetarian who wants to conquer the world 💀 ||

[lunar snow]

God ffs it's not a tank

It doesn't even have tracks

[lunar snow]

It's a APC or a AFV

[dapper light]

Pretty sure that’s just an APC

[lunar snow]

No

AFV is generally saying

APC is specifically saying

[dapper light]

Either way that gayass is way inferior to Stryker

[lunar snow]

Mhmm

[lunar snow]

The vpk 7829?

[dapper light]

Yes

[lunar snow]

interesting

how come

[dapper light]

Before continuing, that’s the only gun they slap on that AFV?

[lunar snow]

which gun

[dapper light]

The turret on top

[lunar snow]

I mean they use this for the IFV version so
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumerang-BM?wprov=sfla1

Congrats.

[pale ferry]

[uncut acorn]

Wow congrats

Btw what's with the errors

I should work on my rmod now

[warped widget]

I just installed theotown on my new phone and have no plug-ins, what should I install to make good American style cities?

[crimson basin]

buildings

[sonic chasm]

cool

ultra geometry

[thin wraith]

I recommend the plugins "various USA styled buildings" by a Dutch guy, "suburban living" by kulche, and for roads, "ph road pack" by hadestia

also, I'd rather use #town-square to ask for plugins

[sharp kettle]

eh, i guess this is fine too

[warped widget]

Ty, I just assumed that plug-in discussion would be suitable for my questions lol

[oblique tundra]

It is interesting that with each passing month less plugins are published in the store

[rain gate]

Yea ive noticed that, theres barely been any plugins recently.

[sharp kettle]

tru

[rain gate]

Makes me sad 😢

[oblique tundra]

I see three factors for that

1. Control of quality which is a good thing
2. Veteran plugin creators moving out and not so many new talented revelations
3. Frequent inactivity of moderators to approve plugins

[oblique tundra]

Yeah

[sharp kettle]

well.. i suppose ill have to still finnish my plugins to do list

dont know if ill upload them or not

[dusk kernel]

Or people simply having a life and getting tired of the game or plugin making

[rain gate]

If I knew how to make plugins, and if I was even remotely good at drawing I'd prob make plugins.

Or just draw em, when it comes to code nah.

[sharp kettle]

the coding one takes time

but if you know it life gets easier

[spring gale]

What’s the must have plugins?

Ye probably works for Japanese buildings

[lapis moat]

Hey yeah, I do see the front end of the white DSA van for the cockpit

Rather, a close resemblance

Maybe it's just me

[rich birch]

hello, do you know the name of this plugin? I really want this plugin? do you guys have it?

[rain gate]

"Its private and it was made by Vonark and u need be russian to downland it bla bla bla"

[rich birch]

No
|| You wrong..||
I've seen this plugin before
before vonark came out

[dusk kernel]

It's from Hadestia
It's on the forum. I think it's available on the store too, but I'm not sure

[rich birch]

ah yes.. I just remembered
Thanks philip

[dusk kernel]

You're welcome

[thick mural]

All the houses in version 1.0 have been drawn and have a rotation variant.

[lunar snow]

Lmao I was about to say that

[trim blade]

I know this might be a dumb question, but how do I delete installed plugins?

[rain gate]

The only way I know is to go into your files and delete the file.

[trim blade]

Ok, thanks

[low loom]

It's actually my work

[rich birch]

Found it

[uncut acorn]

Chris Yu is back for making plugins 😳

[lunar snow]

I don't think his styles fit theotown but nice

[thick mural]

There are some new commercial buildings.

Their floors are transparent, and the cement floor can be connected to each other.

[lunar snow]

Nice

[surreal oasis]

Battlestations

W.I.P though

those towers were supposed to look like windowless offices

[orchid sorrel]

why the outlines

[tight basin]

any tips in the shadow

[orchid sorrel]

it shouldn't go outside the template

why is there a right angle here?

also, try smoothing the edges

[tight basin]

okay, ye ill fix that

[odd egret]

how do I make compositions not rotate?

*by removing variants

[lunar snow]

that help actually

I have never actually figured out how this works

right so they really didn't pin my post

I will just delete it and share it somewhere people actually needed

[white snow]

wait shat it's actually 55

[orchid sorrel]

where's the 30 degrees in this?

yes

[lunar snow]

30 or 55, it's still like the way you portrayed on that pic right?

[white snow]

YIP

[lunar snow]

nice

this will help me

[ruby cypress]

Can someone pls make this flag as a wavin flag ? (A plugin)

[surreal oasis]

soon

[ruby cypress]

It would be very nice

Bc's I would like to use that flag

: (

[surreal oasis]

at the end of the year

[ruby cypress]

Bru

Can you atleast tell me what app or Website I can use to make plugins(ToT)

[crimson basin]

check pins

[ruby cypress]

#plugin-lua-and-fun

[crimson basin]

using jsons

[static pollen]

Pixly/Pixelstudio/Paint.net for drawing
PCA/Code Editor, and i don't know for others codes

There are plenty

Many*

[ruby cypress]

So I need all these to create one plugin?

[lunar snow]

no

can i ask you

what are you using

a pc or a phone

[ruby cypress]

A phone

[crimson basin]

you need previlege apparently for 16x16

[lunar snow]

right

then you can use pixly

[ruby cypress]

Ah ok

[static pollen]

Just choose according to your opinion and facility

[lunar snow]

although a pc would be recommended if you have one

[ruby cypress]

Thank you guys

Or girls

[crimson basin]

welcome

[lunar snow]

call me joe

[static pollen]

it sucks

[ruby cypress]

So i found out pixly is for an older Version of my phone

[ruby cypress]

Hmm

Damn I'm to dumb for this-

[static pollen]

Someone should pin Pixelstudio as pixel app 🤬

[lunar snow]

righty

i mean you need to good at drawing so

[neat lake]

You can use any pixelart apk for draw the plugin

[ruby cypress]

I just want to make that flag but I don't know how to do that stuff with creating and this and that

Like it's easy to draw

But to make the wavin effecjt and thag stuff

Like this

[ruby cypress]

Intersting

And what do I have to do after I finish drawing?

[crimson basin]

json

[ruby cypress]

Json?

[crimson basin]

you add the wave effect in cod

"drafting"

[ruby cypress]

Jeez 😵‍💫

[crimson basin]

do you want to choose another server nick lol. that one is depressing to look at xD

[ruby cypress]

Nah

[ruby cypress]

It would also be cool if someone would make this as a wavin flag plugin🥲

[crimson basin]

cant you make it?

people will help you if you really try

[ruby cypress]

I'm to dumb for this I don't understand sry🥲

[crimson basin]

its easy

start with graphics

some people even have flag templates

you just need to credit them if you use it

[ruby cypress]

Ah I'll just leave it

[white snow]

huh nobody used my technique

i mean it's always available

[uncut acorn]

Hmm yeah maybe

[rain gate]

Maybe I still have a lot more to do

[uncut acorn]

Oooh new variants 😃👍

[rain gate]

Yes, I want to make an Indonesian house pack

[fathom pier]

Cool! But could use some more greenery out front.

[waxen surge]

aos

[spark valve]

@rain gate that one doesn't work, since it's not a decoration

oh wait

even the normal ones don't

[rain gate]

Um yes it is...

[spark valve]

that's really annoying

[rain gate]

I think u have the wrong one

[spark valve]

I can't place them on the one way street with parking

[rain gate]

well I can't help u then

[spark valve]

I wanted to have cars standing there on the parking spaces

cause it looks weird otherwise

[stoic palm]

You maybe about to find one that's a fence

That would, in theory, work

[spark valve]

does that exist?

[stoic palm]

Or, I believe it's called, the I13 road pack has some neat stuff

To your question, I'm honestly not sure that's why I said maybe

[rain gate]

yeah I13 has some but they only work with the I13 roads

[spark valve]

that sucks

[stoic palm]

Well that pack maybe better for what you're going for

I'd recommend ya take a look at ir

[spark valve]

i did, it's really confusing, there is no road with parking spaces

idk it kinda sucks

would be cool to just have a car fence that could work on any road

[rain gate]

Well there is parking plugin that is a decal

i think its called asphalt parking lot

yeah it is, so u could use that.

[spark valve]

yea, but that doesn't have parallel parking?

[rain gate]

no, but its prob the best you'll be able to get.

[spark valve]

I also found this originally, but that sucks, cause it rotates when you rotate your view

[spark valve]

yeah I can't use anything else than parallel because I don't have space for that

[stoic palm]

That's not that doesn't rotate though

But I understand your point

[spark valve]

huh?

[stoic palm]

When you rotate the map

Most things don't have rotation frames

[spark valve]

yeah, a lot of things just rotate

which can be really annoying, lol

I usually try find things that don't

or have it be in a way where if it rotates it's still fine

but with road side parking

that's one example of a thing that just completely becomes unusable

lol

so I found that awesome road with parking

but we have no cars I can place on it, REEEEEEEE

so yea, maybe that's something someone could make... a car fence, lol

[stoic palm]

That's one of the few things not susceptible to the spin

[spark valve]

why doesn't everyone make their plugins on a rotation frame though? especially with non symmetrical buildings or things that just break when rotated?

[orchid sorrel]

simply not everyone wants to put effort into that

[spark valve]

is it hard?

[orchid sorrel]

that's four times the work, theoritically

[stoic palm]

It also takes 4 times the plugin space

Which is the big issue for most people

[orchid sorrel]

(it actually isn't 4 times the work, but you get the point)

[spark valve]

is space an issue?

why is space an issue?

[stoic palm]

Well in theory

The game has a limited footprint size

So there is only so much room for plugins on top of that

[spark valve]

I mean I downloaded over 500 and it seems to be fine

[stoic palm]

So when you combine that with the fact most people don't rotate maps then it's not worth it

And yes that's why I said in theory

You can change the settings to have a larger texture space, but not everyone has that luxury

Similar idea with winter frames

[spark valve]

i hate when things rotate when I rotate the map I rotate it a lot when building to get all the places and yeah it just breaks often

[stoic palm]

And night frames are just very new compared to most plugins

[spark valve]

you know what... the plugin page should let you sort by plugins like that

like checkboxes or summin

[stoic palm]

That would be a wonderful suggestion

[spark valve]

rotation frame
night frame
winter frame

[stoic palm]

However

[spark valve]

and you could check it

to only get those

[stoic palm]

I think that would also require alot of tag adding

And some plugin makers aren't around any more

[spark valve]

well people could do it when they create their plugin

[stoic palm]

But your idea is a good one

[spark valve]

and if someone didn't mark it, it wouldn't sort

[spark valve]

yeah probably

cause I would 100% always keep rotation frames on

since plugins without it are annoying, lol

[stoic palm]

It's also worth mentioning

Realistically you'd probably have 5 plugins

In that case

[spark valve]

there has to be more

[stoic palm]

Rotation frames are really really uncommon

[spark valve]

i don't get that

it's really cool to be able to look at your city from other sides or rotate it when you're working, you do that in basically almost every game

so it's weird to me that it's not the case here

[stoic palm]

Isometrics are weird

[spark valve]

i thought it was the minority of plugins that were just done incorrectly originally

like bad plugins

lol

[stoic palm]

It's not as easy as it would be in 3D or 2D

And like I said, alot of great plugins predate the whole expanded plugin space thing

Not to mention

When you are doing something like making a plugin for fun, doing something like, making a building 4 times, isn't really fun

[spark valve]

well if it's the same from all sides

or like 2 sides

you can copy them over no?

[stoic palm]

Kinda sorta

Rotation frame code is also... A mess

[spark valve]

i mean if 4 sides are the same you don't need to make a rotation frame tbh

[stoic palm]

One of the universal experiences I've noticed with the plugin makers is that they all hate doing the json part

[spark valve]

but like... non-square buildings

would be cool to not have them rotate

especially if it's like a row house

or fkn parking lots

lol

[spark valve]

and this mod actually has a tile for all 8 directions made in the plugin, so you can place it on all sides of roads

but it just doesn't have a rotation thing

[stoic palm]

At the end of the day, I understand your argument, but I also think that putting that requirement on a plugin make is a good way to suck the enjoyment out for most

[spark valve]

which considering they already made all the versions

they could have just made one

no?

[stoic palm]

Again, I assume that comes down to a json issue

[spark valve]

what's a json issue?

[orchid sorrel]

??? wtf is the problem with adding "count": integer

[stoic palm]

This part

[spark valve]

i meant made a rotation frame

[stoic palm]

Kluche you are a rare mix of artist and coder. Most of the guys aren't lmao

[orchid sorrel]

lol

[spark valve]

well if it's difficult, it would be cool to have some game update that makes making rotation frames easy

[orchid sorrel]

also, yes, rotation frames take time which content creators don't have

[orchid sorrel]

what kind of update would just make them 'easy' lol

[spark valve]

idk

[orchid sorrel]

'just make it 3d'

[spark valve]

like make it easier to add things to it

[orchid sorrel]

sadly that's not how any of it works

[static pollen]

3d with rotation 💀

[orchid sorrel]

??? 3d is inherently rotatable?

[stoic palm]

Yeah art is one thing you can't really make easy

Especially for artists that respect their work

The code, yeah code probably be done with a code generator

[orchid sorrel]

there's a lot of stuff you can do to make coding easier, but there's a point where you just can't simplify png asset creation any more

[spark valve]

i mean if you make a parking lot or something really simple, it really can't be that hard to draw the other directions, lol

so i think maybe these people are more stuck

on not knowing how to make it work

cause i would probably be too

like for example the person who made the side road parking, they drew all the directions, but just don't have a rotation frame

[orchid sorrel]

well, that sounds like not enough effort

[stoic palm]

Yeah if you read that description it says he might add it

Albeit that was probably 2 years ago

[orchid sorrel]

"might" but you get burned out after releasing the plugin and not touch it for 3 years

(suburban living moment)

[stoic palm]

Personally the thing I always hated about plugins making was the onslaught of things people want from your specific plugin

[orchid sorrel]

the number of people asking for commercial buildings under my clearly residential plugins is ridiculous

[spark valve]

again as i said I think with mostly square buildings or non-row buildings... basically everything where rotation doesn't matter that much it's fine
but with things like row buildings or a building that isn't in the centre of the lot or parking lots for example, not having a rotation frame breaks the thing, so like the way I see it... if you decide to make an off centre building or a row house or something of this sort, you just SHOULD make a rotation frame, since nobody told you you have to make something like that, yk

like you don't have to make row houses or off centre buildings

so if you do then like you should do it with that

idk

seems kinda like not something that crazy to me, but clearly people decide to make these things and don't have it

like if my church rotates or my school or something... it's like whatever

but if a building that sits on a plot like this rotates

that really sucks

[stoic palm]

Trust me I understand what you're saying, and in all fairness yeah

There should be some plugins that are rotating aware

[spark valve]

just don't make this if you don't want a rotation frame is my view of it

yk

[stoic palm]

I get ya

I do think it's hard though to try and get a group of people whole do something for fun to adopt a new rule set, does that make sense?

[spark valve]

I am like kinda a perfectionist/ocd and this really just boils my blood and all, lmao, it's just really... oof

xd

[orchid sorrel]

mom can we have theotown 2.0

[spark valve]

if they made this on like a 3 by 3 grid and had it in the centre it would be better

for example

cause it would at least stay in the center

instead of spinning around

lol

[stoic palm]

In all honesty that one should have been 2 2x2 pieces

That was just bad designs all around

Really anything that isn't a square is just hard to work with

[spark valve]

yea

i am on a suggestion cooldown, lol

i accidentally pressed enter when typing it

the bot wanted to send it, so i was like oh no

[stoic palm]

Whenever you post that one I'll delete the old one

[spark valve]

so i quickly deleted the message

but it still sent

lol

[spark valve]

you can delete it now

i have a better one written up

[stoic palm]

Will do

[spark valve]

i was thinking if maybe there would be a way for players to tag plugins, by having like a feedback things next to it in your downloads where you could select like
'this plugin has: and the options' with a check or cross next to it, and maybe if like 80% of people voted for it having it, it would auto add the tag after maybe 100 votes or summin, which could solve people not adding it to older plugins

@stoic palm idk if that is a thing that could work

¯_(ツ)_/¯

but just had that ideas since you said many people are no longer around

but even if not possible, still would be cool if at least new plugins or active plugin makers ones would sort out

[stoic palm]

Yeah that's a thought I'd have to leave to the developers, but none the less a good solution

[spark valve]

I'm not gonna put that in the suggestions, think it would be too long, but if it would be decided to be made, then you can direct this as a potential idea to them maybe haha, or they would have an even better idea maybe

maybe there would be a way to auto detect it

actually... could that not maybe work?

to auto detect which frames it has?

@stoic palm maybe the game could auto detect it...

i wanna rewrite my suggestion again and add that in, xd

[stoic palm]

I'll delete that for you but then I need to run

[spark valve]

okay

thanks, haha

[stoic palm]

My phone is almost dead

[spark valve]

sorry, just coming up with ideas on the go

:p

[stoic palm]

All good

[spark valve]

okay see ya

cool

there it is

Like idk how you make plugins, but if it wasn't too hard I would just make my own version of some of the things I want to use but haven't been made with a rotation frame, lul, but I haven't even looked into how you make it like... at all

I assume you draw the thing... but then no idea what you do next, lol

[spark valve]

@stoic palm when you get back i was wondering... is there a way to enable all disabled plugins or disable all enabled plugins?
also it would be cool if you could make your own plugin groups/folders you could easily enable or disable so you could switch between plugin groups depending on what you want. for example i could make a old city group a modern city group or any other group and just enable what I want for a certain project, or even when getting plugins I could straight put them into different folders, since for every project you may want to use different things and having only the things you need enabled make it way easier, and this would be a super easy way to have only what you need enabled based on how you set your groups

[stoic palm]

You could do that yeah, if you rename the folder or move it then it's no longer an issue

[spark valve]

is that possible in the game now?

i don't think the enable/disable all is

but grouping?

[stoic palm]

Not within the in game file manager

I mean

I'm sure you could

But it would be some work

[echo prairie]

2077

[crimson basin]

you wouldnt believe the expected quality to be on the store. Making 1 is hard enough i cant imagine doing the other 3 frames. roattion frames are also weird

[spark valve]

well if it's a rectangle, would you not be able to just flip the image, and use each version twice?

to make it work?

like a horizontal flip

[midnight obsidian]

You'd have to redo the shadows

Not too big of a deal but when you have a much more complicated structure it gets painful

[crimson basin]

i despise shadows

mostly cause i dont understand them

[spark valve]

like if I just make a quick box thing house right...

I can just do this for the other direction?

just flip it?

why would you need to redo shadows?
