lunar snow
#

so ye, just wait

spark valve
#

I need it to be approved, cuz a lot of the changes broke already existing stuff... so if people use it now it will break after... and more people are getting it, xd

#

Ye I get that

lunar snow
#

ye

spark valve
#

I don't have a life 😢

orchid sorrel
#

you literally uploaded it yesterday

#

12h have just passed

spark valve
#

it feels like a long time, okay

#

xddd

#

i'm impatient, haha

#

also the first update that broke the original plugin was uploaded like 24hrs ago

#

I just added more to it later

#

but no longer core breaking stuff

#

How does one become a volunteer for approving anyway?

#

Also how does one get a cool role like you have... for example 'plugin intermediate'?

#

or 'builder'

#

or all these others

spark valve
orchid sorrel
#

see ptag roles in bot commands

spark valve
#

Okay

#

thanks

#

Sheesh I didn't realize how much I added to my plugin yesterday

#

like damn, lol

#

I thought the corner pieces were there already from the day before

#

i guess not

#

That makes me more proud of my work... that I did that much in 1 day

lunar snow
#

out of boredom, here's a spinning kamaz typhoon

spark valve
#

haha, cool

lunar snow
#

lol thanks

spark valve
# spark valve

This is still not all btw... I have like... a few more pieces ideas

#

Like an outer corner for example

#

As I only have an inner corner

#

But idk when ima get to that, cuz weekends over

#

:p

#

I also wanted to add a... 1 tile turn and 2 sided pieces so you can like make parallel parking small parking ovals

#

Which I think would be pretty cool

#

I just want to make the plugin in a way that it doesn't limit your creativity im how you want your parking/roads to look

lunar snow
#

i dont get your idea

#

can you show me a pic

spark valve
#

Um like

#

Well the external corner is obvious I think :p

#

And as for the other thing

#

Lemme try draw it

#

But on a phone on a subway, so a bit precarious

#

lol

crimson basin
#

some plugins take around a week to get approved. 12 hours isnt anything, ive had to wait days too

spark valve
#

So this is what you can do now, right

#

But my idea is...

#

The same thing, but only on a 1 tile gap

crimson basin
#

wha?

spark valve
#

As now you can do any tile gap except for a 1 wide gap

crimson basin
#

what do you mean?

spark valve
#

Ohmygod

#

Wait

lunar snow
#

Ye you should try

crimson basin
flat oracle
lunar snow
#

Nice

spark valve
#

The idea was to be able to do this

lunar snow
#

I get your idea now

spark valve
#

if you had a 1 tile gap between roads for example

#

To be able to add parallel parking

#

Which I think it kinda cool

#

You could also use like... the lineless pieces to make both roads thicker even if only 1 tile away from each other

#

I also want to add a 1 way road that's half a tile wide

#

So you can have actually working turning lanes

#

Not just visually

#

It should be possible as I saw something similar before

#

The one way thin road with parallel parking on one side

#

I'm basically creating a cool road stuff pack at this point

#

Not just parking

#

And it only has like 50kb atm with already a ton of stuff

crimson basin
#

you should learn lua

spark valve
#

So I think I can add a lot more without space being an issue

spark valve
crimson basin
#

allows you to do a lot more things

spark valve
#

Like?

#

What exactly is lua?

#

Oh

#

A coding language

#

I can't do thst, I suck at coding

#

Tried to learn c#, c++, python, html

crimson basin
#

theres fun too, fun is used for goofy things

spark valve
#

i don't know crap, lol

#

i just am terrible at it

#

It's just not my thing

#

I can sorta do the jsons, but even them keep forgetting commas and crap

#

adhd go brrrr

#

The best I ever did with programming was unreal engines visual scripting

#

As it was more visual than numerical

#

lol

#

I'm just more of the creative/ideas type

#

not the numbers/coding type

#

lul

#

huge discrepency

#

xd

crimson basin
#

i can tell some json errors now
ngl i feel very accomplished if i manage to do a json without help with the errors xD

spark valve
#

haha

#

same

#

I managed to make my fence sidewalk work

#

All by myself basically

crimson basin
#

usually expected value comes when theres a trailing comma

spark valve
#

When uh Kulche was busy

crimson basin
#

my problem comes from other stuff nnow

#

yeah hes a busy man

spark valve
#

Yea

#

I know but I fixed my fences when he was busy

crimson basin
#

fun fact i have a folder full of jsons

spark valve
#

And yeah the sidewalk shifts a bit and has no shadow

#

But it's great at filling gaps

#

If you want parking only on one side

#

You don't notice that much

#

Way better than not having it at all

spark valve
crimson basin
#

i had too many jsons on my home screen

spark valve
#

You can kinda see the switch from country road to fence here

crimson basin
#

idk what they are anymore

spark valve
#

But like

#

Still awesome imo

crimson basin
#

where

spark valve
spark valve
#

From 2 views it shifts 1 pixel down

#

So it's more noticeable

#

But still rlly good imo

crimson basin
# spark valve lol

i think this was back when my json was 1000 lines long and i had like 10 copies of the json and i was angry with all the bugs because there were so many. it was my first pack so i was having trouble with putting multiple into one json

spark valve
#

Why would you put multiple into one?

crimson basin
#

why wouldnt i?

spark valve
#

Idk

#

My pack has like 26 jsons, lol

crimson basin
#

one json is the same as multiple smaller ones. it saves space i think

spark valve
#

Probably a tiny bit

crimson basin
#

night animation was also split

#

into 2

spark valve
#

But for my roads there's no point in me doing that... it's like 57kb... might be 150 when i'm done... that's like 1/6th of a megabyte, lol

#

for like a very versatile road pack

#

So a few kb I would save... not worth the work

#

I can spend the time doing other stuff, lul

crimson basin
#

this is my plugin folder lol. the one i save all my images and jsons to

spark valve
#

Nice

#

Oh I wanted to ask

#

Do ya know how to make subcategories?

#

Cause my pack has it's own category, ye

#

But then I would like it to split into 2

#

Seperate the versions with sidewalks and without

#

As ima add a lot more pieces

#

To make it less overwhelming

crimson basin
crimson basin
spark valve
#

I would also probably split.off versions with cars later into seperate ones too

#

Just to section it a bit

#

So it's easier to find stuff

#

As I already have like 26 different pieces

#

And it will probably get to like 60 or summin

#

So I will need to make it easy to use

#

Cause finding the right pieces would be frustrating otherwise

#

I also updated the naming system like 4 timss now to make it easier

crimson basin
#

there

spark valve
#

Like for me it's pretty easy to orientate myself in it... but still for people who open it for the first time, that woule be great

#

Wait is that a drop down menu?

#

I just wanted the one where you click on it and there are more options

orchid sorrel
#

you'd just put a category in a category

spark valve
#

How tho

#

I have
"category": "category"

#

right

crimson basin
#

kulche are you on holiday?

spark valve
#

so would you do like
"category: "category" {"category"}

crimson basin
#

youre suspiciously active 👀

spark valve
#

or summin

#

idk, lul

orchid sorrel
spark valve
#

A category in a category

orchid sorrel
spark valve
#

xd

orchid sorrel
#

you just reference a category the same way you'd do for a building

spark valve
#

how do you reference 2 tho

crimson basin
orchid sorrel
orchid sorrel
#

probably

crimson basin
#

no work?

orchid sorrel
#

well, that's how easter works (here)

crimson basin
#

ah

lunar snow
crimson basin
#

we dont have easter, i dont know how it works

#

i just know theres a bunny and chocolate and eggs

orchid sorrel
#
   {
      "id": "categoryid",
      "type": "category",
      "category": "categoryidnumeroduo"
   }
]```
#

lol

spark valve
#

Yeah but how do I make this category go into another category?

orchid sorrel
#

make sure to define the category you'd use as categoryidnumeroduo before it is used

orchid sorrel
#

that's exactly what it does

spark valve
#

what, how

orchid sorrel
#

I wrote a category definition

#

that creates a new category

spark valve
#

where does it reference the previous category?

orchid sorrel
#

and puts it into another category

spark valve
#

The "category"

#

?

#

so category is the 1

#

amd category numeroduo

#

is the one inside it?

crimson basin
#

apparently "isometric" images from google arent isometric

orchid sorrel
#

theotown is not 100% isometric

crimson basin
#

oh

#

what

orchid sorrel
#

as far as I know what isometric means

lunar snow
#

so ionsane

orchid sorrel
#

isometry is like 26 something degrees?

crimson basin
#

it isnt?

#

no clue 😭

orchid sorrel
#

a ratio of 1 : 2 pixels gives 30 deg

lunar snow
orchid sorrel
#

(trigonometry 🥰)

lunar snow
#

theotown

crimson basin
#

but ive learnt today that i cant take pictures of isometric images from google and try to trace it lol

orchid sorrel
lunar snow
#

interestring

orchid sorrel
#

both images are labeled as isometric

crimson basin
lunar snow
#

bottom

orchid sorrel
#

bottom as in 30 deg

crimson basin
#

they are both next to each other leaf smh

orchid sorrel
#

lol

crimson basin
#

ah

#

apparently ive started a lot of plugins and never finished them

lunar snow
orchid sorrel
#

@spark valve

"type": "category" // Define a new category```
```"category": "id0" // Put something in 'id0' category```
```"id": "id1",
"type": "category", // Define a new category
"category": "id0" // Put 'id1' category into 'id0' category```
crimson basin
#

kulche do you remember this one?

orchid sorrel
#

no

crimson basin
#

you said it was too bright

orchid sorrel
#

probably, it is

crimson basin
#

so i left it to make it darker n=and havent touched it since

spark valve
lunar snow
#

ye

spark valve
#

Cool

lunar snow
#

ikr

spark valve
#

Yup

uncut acorn
lunar snow
#

should have made the parking lot transparent

spark valve
#

Why

spark valve
orchid sorrel
#

see now

spark valve
#

How do you get the plugin creator roles

#

It doesn't say, lul

#

Is it like after a certain amount of plugins made/downloads?

livid agate
spark valve
#

Thanks

#

Okay ig nevermind, lul

spark valve
lunar snow
#

it is completed

spark valve
#

Aaaaaaaa

spark valve
#

How do you become someone that approves plugins btw?

lunar snow
#

you mean a plugin store mederators?

spark valve
#

Yea

#

Cuz like idk, maybe I could volunteer

#

I sometimes have a lot of spare time

lunar snow
#

i dont think they are hiring rn

#

but ig you can try to apply

#

somehow

spark valve
#

me being like... modding discord with over 300 people, modding reddit with 15k people (there are like 8 other mods, but I have 600 actions in the past year, they have like maybe not even 100 in total all together, lol)
I bet I could take on one more thing to check :p

#

As someone else here said... they have a life... me... debatable 🤣

lunar snow
#

well yes but you must be experienced with plugin making in order to become a plugin store mods

tidal glen
#

and a trusted member here

spark valve
#

Like I woule need to know the rules/requirements

spark valve
#

damn, ouch, AFTER ALL WE'VE BEEN THROUGH, xd

lunar snow
spark valve
#

not new to the game tho

lunar snow
#

i mean that's not the point

spark valve
#

just joined the discord recently

#

lul

lunar snow
#

the point is that you need to be experienced in plugin making

spark valve
#

why?

#

Most plugins are buildings and decoration stuff and stuff... like you don't need that muxh code for that

#

I could leave the more intricate plugins to be accepted by someone who knows more

#

And they wouldn't have to waste time on the more basic ones

lunar snow
#

i mean im not the mod so

spark valve
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lunar snow
#

the26 and kulche is the mods

#

you can ask them for more

spark valve
#

i can ask them ig, lul

#

like i could assume you could just start with handling the easier plugins... and maybe with time as you get experience, yk, get to more complex ones

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Like the reddit I mod, I also only started with like... some basic... post moderation and now I have rights to like banning and changing almost everything and soon ima get full perms... as ima be there 3 years and doing a good job :p

#

so yk... here you could start with approving basic plugins

#

There's probably most of those anyway?

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Like I understand how roads work, fences work, decoration pieces work, categories, rotation frames and all this basic stuff

#

buildings are also like simple

#

Unless you have more complex lua stuff and idk... animations and stuff

#

it should be fine imo

#

You said it's volunteers

#

alul

crimson basin
#

and lua

#

and need to be very familiar with the plugin rules

spark valve
spark valve
#

Just skip it

#

If it has summin you don't understand

#

Leave it to someone else

spark valve
crimson basin
spark valve
#

Well i'm better at understanding code than writing it

#

lul

#

My whole learning of coding has kinda been that, I could understand python and c# pretty okay... but I can't progtam anything, lol

crimson basin
#

say someone made a small water thing with a huge water influence influence

#

how do you know if its too much or too less

#

how do you know it wont be game brreaking

#

how do you know it wont be a jeremiah 2.0?

spark valve
#

jeremiah 2.0?

empty night
#

Somebody who writes malicious plugins

spark valve
#

Well I can run it, try it myself no?

empty night
#

To just makes things simple

#

Yeah you can.

#

But the point here is that for you tu be a moderator in there, you have to have a good portfolio of experience and plugins made

#

Since remember, approving plugins can be really subjective on what it's deem unworthy and which is worthy of approving

#

You really have to keep an eye specially on how the buildings are made and drawn

#

There is a really fine threshold for that

#

And that you can only get it trough experience making them

spark valve
#

Well see you in 2 weeks ig :p

spark valve
livid agate
#

jeremiah:

#

besides, to become a plugin store moderator, you also need to belong to a trust plugin creator group

rich birch
#

like me

rich birch
#

wow this can be used as a plugin

lunar snow
#

horizontally and vertically missile carrier

spark valve
#

it works

#

just ignore the doubled up line

#

i haven't created the piece without a line yet to use as the other curved endpiece

#

so I rotated one center one with lines

lunar snow
#

nice

bold warren
lunar snow
#

there's this one thing i really want you to do

#

that you could do

spark valve
#

yeah?

lunar snow
#

bike lane and emergency lane

spark valve
#

that's not a bad idea

rich birch
lunar snow
#

emergency lane likes this

bold warren
rich birch
#

Idk

lunar snow
#

bike lane maybe likes this

#

you could make the bike lanes multi-color

spark valve
lunar snow
#

nice

#

i would love to see that

#

it's something we are missing

spark valve
#

yup will do

spark valve
#

i think this is the sort of plugin pack that can include this

lunar snow
#

emergency land are like a lane

#

not a road

#

it should not be as wide as theotown's road

spark valve
#

yeah it will be like the same width as my other pieces

#

around half a road

lunar snow
#

nice

spark valve
#

like one lane

#

size

#

or maybe a bit less

lunar snow
#

yes

spark valve
#

idk how thick my things are exactly

#

about one lane

lunar snow
#

just cut a theotown's road in half

spark valve
#

yup

#

yeah I can add this today probably

#

together with the center pieces

#

just gotta make 2 more sets of the center pieces

#

ones without lines

lunar snow
#

yes

spark valve
#

and then the ones with chevrons

lunar snow
#

nice

spark valve
#

tho i wanna try do the line set to have the lines alternating instead (not actually) but rn I have both pieces with the line on the same side

#

I think if I did one top and one bottom

#

1 pixel difference

#

you wouldn't need to use the...

#

without lines endpiece

#

since I wanna make different categories for a plugin

lunar snow
#

i see

spark valve
#

and that would make it annoying

spark valve
#

to have to go to a different category

#

for the endpiece

#

yk

#

but if I alternate them

#

it... should work

#

I think maybe

lunar snow
#

i see

spark valve
#

gonna need to try it

#

lol

#

I want to make it in a way that gives you as much freedom of making what you want as possible

#

but also categorise it to not make it overwhelming

#

orrrr

#

yk what ima do

#

ima just make the lineless endpiece twice

#

like the same piece twice

#

so I can just have it be in both categories

#

cause I don't assume you can make 1 piece appear in 2 places?

#

or can I add "category" twice

#

and it will make it show up in both?

lunar snow
#

i dont actually remember about these stuffs

spark valve
#

hmm ig i can try it when ima be making the new subcategories later

#

if it won't work ima just

#

ctrl-c ctrl-v some pieces

#

so i can have the same piece in more than one category

#

where needed

#

cause i believe i need that with some of the other pieces as well

#

i believe like 5 pieces in total out of the like 26 or summin

#

need to be in 2 categories

lunar snow
#

@midnight obsidian the26 reference

midnight obsidian
lunar snow
#

wow but can you ask me who is ya

crimson basin
rich birch
#

Who is it supposed to be

static pollen
#

Vehicles are tiny

#

No shadows

#

And no noise

#

and anyway too bad quality to take it and modify it

#

or it must be copied and improved

midnight obsidian
flat oracle
lunar snow
#

nice

lunar snow
midnight obsidian
lunar snow
#

@midnight obsidian (he didnt ask)

midnight obsidian
#

ok

lunar snow
#

nice thanks ok

crimson basin
spark valve
#

@lunar snow oh btw I just realized you can make like could make like cool merge lanes... could go from the emergency lane to the chevron lane to like a normal dotted lane

#

that would be cool

lunar snow
#

you can make it

spark valve
#

I will make it

#

and you will soon be able to make roads with that

#

haha

flat oracle
#

We need more realistic decos in the game

spark valve
#

in terms of road decos

#

i'm on it

#

xd

#

actually ever new piece type I add takes a lot longer... cause I gotta make a crap ton of versions of it, lol

#

for all the possible ways

#

so straights, end pieces, inner curves... and all in 4 directions

#

to make it rotation frame compatible

#

painnn

flat oracle
#

I can too. I have never drawn road deco/fence/transport plugins, but I can make it. I already have an experience with buildings

spark valve
#

I already made 42 unique different road deco pieces

#

which means

#

168 pieces

#

cause each has 4 sides

#

I mean I added 38

#

i'm working on another 4 now

#

and there's more planned

#

the emergency lane will add like another 5 pieces?

#

but it will be 6

#

as I need to make a external curve piece

#

and 7 for a sharp internal

#

so every piece will have 7 piece types

#

meaning that ima need to add 2 more piece types to almost everything

#

lol

#

you will probably be able to build race tracks with this

#

like something that would look like it kinda

#

cause you can use the chevron pieces as edges

#

if I make a road completely without any markings at all

#

lol

lunar snow
#

nice

spark valve
#

yea, xd

#

this will probably become the biggest like road deco stuff pack ever, xd

#

ima probably need to rename it to summin else

#

not only parallel parking anymore

#

what should I name it

#

renaming it means I need to go through all the json files and rename it there, lol

#

but it's also actually a really small pack

#

as all the pieces are pretty simple

#

so the pngs are super tiny

#

but it is big on like A LOT of work

#

lol

spark valve
#

this looks really cool

#

there are so many things you can do to your roads already with the pieces in this pack

#

so many combinations

#

and varieties

#

it's like endless, lol

#

and will be even more so when i'm done

#

this is where the limits to your road design end, you will now be able to make your roads look however ya want :p

lunar snow
#

nice

#

what is that

spark valve
#

chevrons

lunar snow
#

ah

#

i mean it doesnt look equally divided

spark valve
#

yea there are some gaps, it wasn't really possible to make it equally divided and work well with parking spaces and end curves and stuff, but I think it looks cool

#

you could make like the lane merge thing with them

#

or like in my plugin image

#

corners

#

the issue was when I added a line in each of those gaps

#

it was at the edge of a piece

#

which meant they sometimes doubled up

#

and I kinda didn't wanna spend time redesigning all... 16 pieces

#

cause that's kind a pain

#

ngl

#

lol

#

i will rather just add new cool functionalities

lunar snow
spark valve
#

than spend hours perfecting the chevrons

lunar snow
#

it's really annoying to look at lol

spark valve
#

i find it cool

#

lol

#

I can send you the files and you can fix it yourself, xd

lunar snow
#

ye i could fix it

#

send me the files

spark valve
#

really?

#

sure then, ima work on other stuff in the mean time, that would actually be cool

#

I fixed them like 3 times already and yea

#

kinda bored of chevrons

#

xd

lunar snow
#

anyway

#

forgot to say but chemical corps from all countries will be included in tlmep

#

specifically, i see the chemical corps a lot during covid-19

static pollen
#

Bro didn't get the point of the pictures layout discord update

lunar snow
spark valve
#

emergency lane to a turning lane!

#

@lunar snow finished the turning lanes ^^

#

ima probably try make categories now

#

cuz it's kinda a lot now

#

lol

rain gate
#

I cannot wait for that update, best plugin to come in a long time love it.

spark valve
#

i just gotta make the categories and probably rename the plugin

#

Erin's Road Decoration Pieces?

#

maybe a better name?

#

or just
Erin's Road Deco Pieces

midnight obsidian
#

erin's road upgrade

spark valve
#

why upgrade?

midnight obsidian
#

idk

spark valve
#

hmm

#

Erin's Road Bits

#

lol

#

idk

#

if anyone has any ideas

#

pls gib

#

need some good name, haha

lunar snow
static pollen
#

Erin do you plan to add cars on park ?

spark valve
#

ye

spark valve
lunar snow
summer kestrel
lunar snow
#

it only exists on highway

spark valve
#

maybe

lunar snow
#

It should always be curved

#

the turning point

spark valve
#

yes ik, but also if I had to make every piece of every situation you can have irl I would make like 50 000 pieces

#

and have it be my lifes work

#

xd

#

maybe I will make it

#

we will see

#

but first I wanna make some of the other pieces that are missing and stuff, haha

#

it all takes a lot of time

lunar snow
#

I highly recommend you to make the curved turning emergency land pieces

spark valve
#

also none of these pieces will work with actual in game highways

lunar snow
#

it is only 8 pieces

spark valve
#

I don't even have a borderless one way road yet

lunar snow
#

well

#

that should be easy

spark valve
#

hopefully

lunar snow
#

you take the border less two way road frames

#

and make another draft for the one way version

spark valve
#

it all adds up, lol, only 8 pieces here, only 8 pieces there and it's 20hrs later suddenly, xd

summer kestrel
#

I mean, this is why I think mod development groups are better than individual creators.
Yes individual creators do create more unique content but what will I do with a single residential building?

#

I prefer packs

spark valve
#

we need turning lane curves, we need the external curve, we need the bike lane and then the center pieces for the missing pieces, lol

orchid sorrel

I'm listening

#

group work always becomes a mess no matter how hard you try

#

and god the graphics that look completely different

lunar snow
#

:trl:

spark valve
#

depends who you work with and how well you manage it

lunar snow
#

true

#

Both of the following statements are true

spark valve
#

like for example with the road pieces, I already have some... that can be used as templates for new ones

#

so it makes it more possible to potentially get group work ig

summer kestrel
stoic palm
#

The only "group" that has lasted is the Chinese one

spark valve
#

lol

orchid sorrel
#

true

#

complex industri in shambles

summer kestrel
stoic palm
#

The others all fall apart soon after their conception

spark valve
#

let's start a new one, xd

lunar snow
#

True

summer kestrel
lunar snow
#

But with that being said, I'm happy to help you with your road plugin @spark valve

spark valve
#

what does this mean?

stoic palm
#

Sounds like an awful idea, actually the more I think about it, groups have signed the death warrant for quite a few creators lmao

orchid sorrel
#

you messed up your json pretty badly

spark valve
spark valve
#

I wanted to make 2 new categories

#

in the existing one

orchid sorrel
#

as I said

spark valve
#

i messed it up

#

yes ik

orchid sorrel
#

there are no such types as "With Sidewalk" or "No Sidewalk"

spark valve
#

what does that mean

orchid sorrel
#

you're probably mixing type with title

spark valve
#

oh

#

-facepalm-

midnight obsidian
#

erin's road additions

spark valve
#

both of these are good tbh

#

this still doesn't work

midnight obsidian
#

separate them into different blocks

orchid sorrel
#

how is it supposed to work if you put it all in a single object

spark valve
#

yeah i kinda thought that was a problem

#

but didn't know how to separate it

orchid sorrel
#

json doesn't read spaces and nlines

#

change it into separate objects

#

it's in a single large object at the moment

spark valve
#

idk

orchid sorrel
#

almost there

spark valve
#

okay what else

#

no trailing commas

orchid sorrel
#

remove the outermost object

spark valve
#

i think

orchid sorrel
#

fix last line quote

spark valve
spark valve
orchid sorrel
#

and put the "frames" where you actually want it to go

orchid sorrel
spark valve
#

it is but not there yet

orchid sorrel
#

???

spark valve
#

not on the image

#

i sent it before

orchid sorrel
#

sure

spark valve
#

i fixed it

#

ima add frames to the other too after, but

#

are the other 2 subcategories of the first?

#

yes I think so

orchid sorrel
#

yeah that's how it works

spark valve
#

was missing the flat lines

orchid sorrel
#

was just about to say your ids don't match

spark valve
#

yep

#

now it's just missing frames

#

cool

#

(ima add better images later)

lunar snow
spark valve
#

that would be cool

#

ima go put stuff into categories now

orchid sorrel
#

yes I'd recommend you to create something that would sit flush with ingame icons

lunar snow
#

I have some experience with this thing befro5

#

before

#

it should be easy

spark valve
#

awesome, thanks ^^

#

i might later split these sidewalk and no sidewalk categories into more sub categories like... chevrons, sidelines, lines and stuff... but we will see

#

for now ima do this and see how it looks

lunar snow
#

Alr

spark valve
#

so then it would be like
plugin > no sidewalk > chevrons

#

maybe

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lunar snow
#

here's some of mine to ensure you btw

spark valve
#

cool

#

I like the poop one

#

oh wait

#

prop

lunar snow
#

lol

spark valve
#

oops

#

😅

#

that made me laugh

lunar snow
#

ye all the logos will be made in the prop logo style

spark valve
#

I love that one

#

that's really awesome

lunar snow
#

thanks

spark valve
#

way better

#

like so much better

#

xd

#

having both the ones with sidewalks and without in one

#

was rlly confusing

#

lol

#

now it's ordered too

#

all the chevron stuff

#

then all the dotted stuff

#

then all the lined stuff

#

then all the sideline stuff

#

and then the basic empty pieces

#

which I think makes it really easy to use now

#

awesome

sharp kettle
#

intresting plugin

spark valve
#

yup

lunar snow
#

btw @spark valve

#

for the double side chevron

#

shouldn't it look like this

#

instead of this

#

I can fix it for you if I have the permission

spark valve
#

well it wasn't meant for the centre of the road originally

#

it was meant for 2 roads next to each other

#

xd

#

but sure

#

we could make that ig

#

that means we can completely ditch the ones with a sidewalk probably?

spark valve
#

have the sidewalk go just like that

#

on the endpieces

spark valve
#

and on the ones without a sidewalk it would do the same

#

but without a sidewalk

#

lol

#

and the center pieces would be the same

#

that's a good idea tbh @lunar snow

#

or or maybe leave the sidewalk on these end pieces as it is now

#

as some people could want to use it for edges of parallel parking

#

so just make the center pieces like up above

#

that will be good

spark valve
#

yea

#

sorry for being a bit confusing

#

I was just running it through my head deciding what would be best

#

haha

lunar snow
#

Alr

spark valve
#

ig just join these together

lunar snow
#

I will fix it my way

spark valve
#

cool ig

lunar snow
#

Kinda

spark valve
#

tho probably keep the lines straight

#

and not tilted cause

#

that could break with the rotation

#

and we don't want arrows facing the wrong direction, xd

lunar snow
#

K

spark valve
#

I can make this endpiece later

#

when I do all of my inner curves

#

I will probably make a spiked version like this and a dull one too

#

as you can see both irl

lunar snow
dim thorn
#

Make stop markingsbear_heart

lunar snow
spark valve
#

that wouldn't rlly work probably as we wouldn't be able to place it on the normal road... we can only place stuff on the side of roads

#

as it's only decoration pieces

lunar snow
#

Yes that's what I'm thinking

dim thorn
lunar snow
#

Ah that

dim thorn
#

Or make this maybe

spark valve
#

we will probably want these 2 versions

lunar snow
#

3

lunar snow
#

I have an idea for it

spark valve
#

well... I drew it wrong it should be a bit more curved this one

#

hard to draw on a trackpad

#

xd

spark valve
#

sure

lunar snow
#

K

spark valve
#

i'm working on external corner pieces

#

2 more

#

and then another 20

#

ayyy

spark valve
#

wait I actually don't need to make as many of these

#

cool

#

done I think

#

or not

#

something effed up

#

xd

#

they do be floatin

#

mistake on png's

static pollen
#

Move it*

spark valve
#

oh

#

it's shifted

#

no wait

#

I already fixed that before

#

it should be good now

#

perfect

#

boop

spark valve
#

okay

#

ima redo my whole plugin as roads

#

will take up less space

#

less jsons

#

easier to build

#

less pieces and things

#

cause they will build automatically

#

this will be massive for this plugin

#

gonna propel it to the stratosphere as the best road plugin ever

#

:p

#

one done

#

25 to go

#

:p

spark valve
#

it will be the same plugin like I was making

#

but just better

#

as you don't need to place it piece by piece

#

which will make it a lot better

#

does everything automatically

#

you just draw it

#

so far only did the 2 emergency lane road versions

#

and now just the other 24 road versions

rain gate
#

Will u still keep the placable ones?

spark valve
#

why?

rain gate
#

I'd much rather just use placable ones tbh

spark valve
#

why tho?

rain gate
#

Lets u customize better imo

spark valve
#

i think you should be able to customise the same with this

rain gate
#

do what u want its your plugin after all.. i just think removing that would ruin it.

spark valve
#

short, long, around the corner, roundabout, little dot

#

all is still possible the same

#

you just drag instead of placing one by one

#

makes it also easier for me to edit the textures if they are in one file like a road thing

#

so updates will be easier

#

you can combine them the same as before too

#

here are the 2 types, sidewalk and no sidewalk of this that I made so far

#

so it works basically exactly the same, you just don't need individual pieces

#

you can just click with one type on another to change that one piece

spark valve
#

you just don't need to select individual pieces

#

just the road type

rain gate
#

As I said, do what u want it's your plugin afterall.

spark valve
#

do you not think having a few road types is better than a million small pieces and json files and everything? it makes it harder to make any changes to the sets as they are all individual too and more work with the jsons and naming and descriptions and everything, this will allow me to update it easier in the future and make it all more neat and easy to use, imo

#

while retaining the exact same functionality

#

plus more

#

the extra lanes will actually be drivable, so emergency lanes used by emergency vehiecles

#

and such

stoic palm
#

Both verisons have their uses

spark valve
rain gate
#

Bro all i said is I personally like the pieces, your going on a rant now lol

spark valve
#

just expected this to be a better exciting change, lol, so i wanna understand why

stoic palm
#

I think having the various pieces does allow for alot more custom uses, whereas having them as roads or something similar allows the in mass thing to be done very easy

#

Of course it really depends on how its going to be used

rain gate
#

I actually think'd it be nice to have both.

spark valve
spark valve
#

as well as i was thinking of trying to make parked cars as road decorations

stoic palm
#

Yeah but when you have all the pieces rather than having a road it can get really custom outside of the use for parking haha

#

That's what I mean

spark valve
#

since that would be easier as you could place them on any piece

spark valve
stoic palm
#

Yeah

#

I don't think my point is getting across haha

#

let me look at something before I say something incorrectly

spark valve
#

sure

#

i mean i can keep both in the plugin, but it will be a lot more work and the plugin will be twice as big, which some people said they care about plugin size

#

plus updates would be way harder

stoic palm
#

You could always release both as different plugins

spark valve
#

hmm

#

i guess

stoic palm
#

one as a "line tool", and the other as the pieces

spark valve
#

i'm still curious about a use case you can't do with this

#

lul

#

i feel like having it as roads gives it even more use cases than before

#

as you can place road decorations on it, we will try make car road decorations

#

you can actually have cars drive some of the types

rain gate
#

I think all the road does is allow you to build faster and road deco..

spark valve
#

like the turn lanes

stoic palm
#

But back to what I was saying, when you have all the parts you can creatively use them outside of the application for a road. As road pieces they have specific conditions. Such as an end, a corner, a single road piece ect. So in an area where you make only want to use the center lane, for example, rather than the center lane along with the and curved end pieces

#

Or having to just a "mark as road" plugin

#

to get the effect you want instead

#

like my first, message said, I can see the points for both

spark valve
#

hmm

stoic palm
#

and I do think they have different uses

spark valve
#

i guess I can release to versions

#

but ya'll rlly wanna murder me

stoic palm
#

however, its also my opinion that at the end of the day the creator has the choice and their opinion is really all that matters

spark valve
#

Erin's Road Extensions
and
Erin's Road Pieces

#

lol

stoic palm
spark valve
#

but I am not making versions with cars for the pieces if we can make it with decorations

#

cuz there's so many piece types

#

that it would just be so much work

#

lol

midnight obsidian
#

You can always just make it as terrain

spark valve
#

terrain???

#

instead of decoration?

midnight obsidian
#

Ye

spark valve
#

you could place stuff ontop then?

rain gate
#

yeah decal is a pretty good idea actually

midnight obsidian
#

Yep

spark valve
#

that's actually a great idea

stoic palm
#

however

spark valve
stoic palm
#

terrain tiles really are just all different pieces xD

spark valve
#

that could actually be good enough to make 2 packs for

#

as that gives way more options

midnight obsidian
#

Although imo road would be the best because after all there is no limit for road decorations on a road tile

stoic palm
#

Actually wait

spark valve
#

decals don't have rotation frames right?

#

that would be an issue

rain gate
#

All of them have there pro's and cons.

stoic palm
rain gate
#

Tbh all of then in there own way are really good, so if u wanted to you could make them all and that'd be incredible.

midnight obsidian
#

Decals can be placed ontop of terrain

stoic palm
spark valve
#

do decals or terrain have rotation frames?

#

cause without that it won't work

midnight obsidian
stoic palm
spark valve
#

re you saying you wanting to place down only one straight piece

#

I can make the road default to a straight piece

#

if there's only one road tile

#

this part

stoic palm
#

Having the default road tile just be a straight section would be nice

#

that would fix that issue I was talking about

spark valve
#

yea

#

exactly

#

that was actually a really good idea

#

i just had these default ones there

#

as like

#

'nothing'

#

yk

#

there's still more unused cases, lul, cuz some of them just won't happen with a one sided lane

#

but some of the 'join road' use cases could be used for creating turning lanes

#

when you hit a road head on

#

with the turning lane variant

#

in a way it will be kinda like

#

town scraper

#

where it will just be smart

#

and do the thing depending on the situation

#

lol

rain gate
#

I think your best bet would be to make dif versions, but do what u want of course.

spark valve
#

i could since I already created a lot of it that way

#

but if feel the road one will work better, more benefits, that's why I got excited about it, since I think it's better, but I can release both

#

since 'all' it will require is more jsons and pngs

#

which isn't 'that' bad but still extra work, but yeah

#

I did most of the plugin that way already

#

so i can

#

if ya'll rlly want it, I can release it to ya'll, xd

#

:p

#

❤️

#

anyway I need to go sleep and stuff

#

i didn't eat dinner

#

and it's like midnight

rain gate
#

adios

spark valve
#

even tho it means I need to go through all like 50 jsons and change the description and id a bit since I know I have some stuff there that's sub-optimal

What do you mean sir?

#

I miss the Naufhal phase😔

#

where has gone the one and only true pluginer..

#

What did they make?

Hello, does anyone know why the Amsterdam houses plugin no longer appears?

urban grove
dapper sun
#

Yes, those same ones... I already looked for them but it seems that I deleted them

dapper sun
#

I already looked for it but it is a quite old version with few houses I did not find the current file

#

I already found the file it was in the forum but something hidden anyway thanks to everyone

Fr?

lunar snow
#

Right

#

I will take the 🇦 version

urban grove

A looks kinda weird

lunar snow
#

well the people said different so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

i will make a yellow paint for this too

#

cause why not

#

i have changed the postion of the markings in the A version

#

it should look better now
