[thorny arrow]

Rooftop go brrrr

THE LANDMARK look easy for me :)))

[modern kestrel]

Landmark 69

[thorny arrow]

[urban grove]

I mean the shape is just a rectangle

Very simple

[thorny arrow]

yeah you right

but its kinda detail

[urban grove]

I'm guessing the front of the building will have parking lot?

[thorny arrow]

no parking lot here

[uncut acorn]

If I were you, Ho Chi Minh City become "Landmark City"

I thought some of it are landmarks, but they were just buildings

[thorny arrow]

YEAH just the name

[uncut acorn]

caps

[thorny arrow]

And i'll make a park in front of the building

[deep yacht]

parking lots should be underground

thanks for the super reaction

[lilac shuttle]

Hey

[crude crater]

Hey can someone recommend a good pixel art software for windows 7 this time. I got a old windows 7 tablet sooo.....

[rain gate]

Perhaps paint.net, im not sure if it works on a windows 7 tho.

wait nvm i thought u meant computer

[crude crater]

Thanks man

[crude crater]

Nah only support windows 10 or above😭

[rain gate]

Ah apologizes then, Thats the only thing i know of.

[crude crater]

I can attempt a kernal swap to make it work but not worth the effort 😞

[deep yacht]

you should use paint.net

[crude crater]

Bruh

[crude crater]

I said I am trying to run it on windows 7 and it only runs on windows 10 or above

[deep yacht]

That I don't think is true

I used to use paint.net on windows 7 so

If you want of course

[rain gate]

wtf?

[rain gate]

What's wrong with it?

[stoic palm]

It does clearly say it's a demo

And the focus is two different buildings

The titles are also different

[mortal tapir]

BM 21 mmm or similar

[mortal tapir]

FREE

[mortal tapir]

Mobile Rocket trailer

Free

[dapper sun]

So it's literally just those two buildings?

[stoic palm]

From what the descriptions say

[runic reef]

basically we get those 2 buildings until the full packs are released 1-2 months from now

[urban grove]

I mean it's just a demo, not like a fully released plugin

[surreal oasis]

@mortal tapir Can i talk to you via dms?

[mortal tapir]

@surreal oasis yea

[mortal tapir]

Another truck and another BM 21 variant it's free

[strange cloud]

Json genie app not working

What app ppl use to make json

[misty pawn]

Even notes work

Code editor if you looking for an app

[lilac shuttle]

Which one

[crimson basin]

mobile?

[lilac shuttle]

Yes

[crimson basin]

theres tutorials on how to draft using json genie

#plugin-discussion message

[lilac shuttle]

It not working

It won’t let me save any of the json I make

[empty night]

Did you give the app file permissions?

[urban grove]

This is Leaf work not you (i recognise that image)

You thought you'd get away with that?

[deep yacht]

yo what did he post

[rain gate]

Something leaf made.

[deep yacht]

ah

wait

i think i know it

some mall?

[urban grove]

Yes

[deep yacht]

lmao

[echo prairie]

Lmfao

[urban grove]

Bro steals Leaf works twice.

[empty night]

Hm interesting

[urban grove]

Don't worry he said he won't do it again

[empty night]

Ok, because otherwise we'll slap him with a warn

[echo prairie]

We'll see about that

[midnight obsidian]

rate my plugin

100% original work no copy pls

[urban grove]

Wow very original indeed

[midnight obsidian]

i try very hard

[urban grove]

It's a 10/10 me like it

[midnight obsidian]

omg thx!!

[urban grove]

Yk I'm feeling really nice today 20/10

[rain gate]

ver good can i have ok thank 10/10

[rain gate]

little building 🤏

[lilac shuttle]

Yes

[urban grove]

That's one small and simple building ideas

[crimson basin]

oh god, im never making that xD

im happy with my 2x2 and 1x1 s

[glad lynx]

shadows are not an opinion nice

[midnight obsidian]

why? it's small and simple

oh and it's residential because it's god's home

[livid agate]

frames

[orchid sorrel]

what is your problem

[unique pivot]

these seem to be different drafts

what do you want to do?

[orchid sorrel]

frames is the frame of the building

preview frames is the preview image

it's that shrimple

you'd put your file names in there, along other optional attributes

[vapid light]

Guys can you do a plugin with Azerbaijan skyscrapers

It is all commercial

[rain gate]

Maybe put some pics in #plugin-suggestions

[vapid light]

Oh ok sorry 😞

[rain gate]

No need for an apology lol

[misty pawn]

first is the actual frame of the plugin you made the second is like a mask to cover the first "frame" rather than keep the original you show something else doesn't really matter except if it's too big

Preview frame is what you want to show on the toolbar

You can ignore it

[misty pawn]

They separated?

[orchid sorrel]

?????

[rain gate]

type export:"folder or file name" in the console

[unique pivot]

there are 2 frame tags but they belong to different drafts

each draft still has one

the second draft is a park

first, idk

[chilly mango]

its the icon for a category

[unique pivot]

it seems to be just a category

with an icon

cat is short for category

but if you want to see what something is look at the type

[chilly mango]

thats just what they decided on for the id

it doesnt mean anything

functionally

[unique pivot]

yeah

it just uses short of category for convenience

its better when IDs make sense

even though they don't have to

[chilly mango]

i just wanted to emphasize that it is just for personal organisation and that it is not required

[dreamy hearth]

Eyo what's up?

[mortal tapir]

@deep yacht the latest

@deep yacht here's

[lilac shuttle]

How do you use code editor

[mortal tapir]

With.txt File

But in this case .json

[lilac shuttle]

Ok

[mortal tapir]

Recommended ES file Explorer in Android or other Files Explorer

[{
"id":"",
"author":"Forge",
"build time":"",
"draw ground":"",
"frames":[{"bmp":".png"}],
"height":"",
"width":"",
"monthly price":"",
"needs land":"",
"needs road":"",
"needs water":"",
"power":"",
"water":"",
"price":"",
"text":"Like This",
"title":"",
"type":"military",
"category":"",
"influence noise":""
}]

Like this

[left gale]

you put code and image in different folder?? should be

"frames":[{"bmp":"../Icons/PKP_icon.png"}]

... means going back to the upper folder
Icons means the name of the folder you wanna enter
PKP_icon.png is the name of your png (image) file

and that's how directory works

or try
"frames":[{"bmp":"Icons/PKP_icon.png"}]

make sure file extension name is included (.png)

[mortal tapir]

Radar truck

[lilac shuttle]

Hmm

[waxen pivot]

Who knows mods to make round taxiways at the airport

[urban grove]

Stop posting the same message, someone will eventually answer your question.

[midnight obsidian]

no

it is not allowed to use the texture

[misty pawn]

Quick question
Make a whole mulching machine or just an attachment to tractors

[urban grove]

Big tires

[misty pawn]

Was tempted because of them lol

[rain gate]

I think a attachment would be nice but u always could do both 😉

[dim thorn]

I don't know what the roof is like

[dapper light]

VinBus?

[dim thorn]

Yes

[dapper light]

I suppose have it all green with hump then

[dim thorn]

His hump has 2 humps in front and back

[mortal tapir]

@midnight obsidian it's only a question but why are posted in the forum all the vehicles

[midnight obsidian]

what do you mean?

[deep yacht]

attachment

[lilac shuttle]

Without using Json I don't think I'm good at writing code

[sharp kettle]

theres always that uhh

(Easy plugin maker)

https://pca.theotown.com/

this thing

[crimson basin]

what does the a stand for?

[sharp kettle]

the a..?

[crimson basin]

pca

plugin creator what

[sharp kettle]

An easier way to create plugins via friendly UI interface.

[crimson basin]

but what is the a

[sharp kettle]

i have no idea what you are talking about

[stoic palm]

the a in pca?

[crimson basin]

yes

evan gets it

but its not an app

[stoic palm]

That sounds about right

[crimson basin]

its a website

[stoic palm]

I think it was at one point an app

[crimson basin]

everything else says pcw

is the app still out there

[stoic palm]

Not to my knowledge

[crimson basin]

i saw a very old screenshot the other day while scrolling through old stuff

it looked much easier than the website tho

[stoic palm]

@rain gate just so you know we can see when you delete messages

just leave em

your filling my archives

[crimson basin]

evan acting like archives isnt bottomless xD

i wish i got to try out the app, it looked nicee

[hexed elbow]

I want to get started on plugins

What do i need to know

[stoic palm]

I would read the pinned messages here

There's lots of content but some good tips

[hexed elbow]

Do i just draw the stuff or i need to know some coding

[lapis moat]

Specifically this one I took 2 seconds to find

[sharp kettle]

its simple coding

[hexed elbow]

What language

[sharp kettle]

and you can use this if you dont want to code it

json

[stoic palm]

#plugin-discussion message

This should help as well as the link Chipper sent

[hexed elbow]

I see

[sharp kettle]

is the pca link even pinned?

[lapis moat]

Pretty sure it's just Lua & Python

[hexed elbow]

Just basic stuff?

[stoic palm]

Yeah it is

Yeah json is basic

[sharp kettle]

kk

[hexed elbow]

Ok alr

[sharp kettle]

itll take some time to fully understand but its should be simple

[stoic palm]

@vapid light for #plugin-suggestions please have pictures for what you want

[hexed elbow]

So i need to know some json and draw pixels

[sharp kettle]

start from these baseplates

[hexed elbow]

I will start with a 1x1

[crimson basin]

good choice

[hexed elbow]

I do want a 3x3 but thats too hard while i learn

[crimson basin]

i agree

if youre a beginner its good to start small

[hexed elbow]

So those baseplates are the same always for everything i want to make

[crimson basin]

yeah

they are pinned so you can download whichever one you want

[sharp kettle]

blurry 1x1, my beloved!

[crimson basin]

nothing wrong with 1x1

[sharp kettle]

you can take examples from ingame buildings

[hexed elbow]

I will just make a house

[hexed elbow]

Inspiration

[sharp kettle]

?

[crimson basin]

1x1 buildings :)

[sharp kettle]

sure

also the art style too

[crimson basin]

"blurry 1x1" just commenting on that

[hexed elbow]

Then i could get started with imitating real houses or buildings

[sharp kettle]

er.. what??

[crimson basin]

sounds good

[sharp kettle]

also, what drawing software will you be using?

[hexed elbow]

I don't know i will have to make some research

[sharp kettle]

pixly is pretty good

[crimson basin]

what device are you using?

[hexed elbow]

Redmi 9

[sharp kettle]

tho keep in mind theres some minor erros in that app

not a big deal tho

also ibispaint works too if you know how to make it works

[hexed elbow]

What kind of erros

Errors

[sharp kettle]

lets see... err

[crimson basin]

not saving your work and crashing

[sharp kettle]

^

the biggest one is that

[crimson basin]

good to save frequently

[hexed elbow]

Oh thats not good

[sharp kettle]

but its pretty rare i suppose

[hexed elbow]

Yes

But you still have to be cautious

[sharp kettle]

just save your work and itll be fine

[crimson basin]

ive had it maybe twice or trice when i was using emulator on pc to run that

but i think thats mostly on me

cause it was never meant to be run on an emulator lol

[hexed elbow]

But apart from the bugs it's the easiest to use

[crimson basin]

its fairly simple yeah

[hexed elbow]

Alr

[crimson basin]

i still use it on my mobile

[hexed elbow]

Well ill check it out, thanks for the help

[sharp kettle]

yw 👍

[crimson basin]

your id

capital and simple c in cat

stick to one

this is capital

[orchid sorrel]

yes your ids don't match

[crimson basin]

make them match

[crimson basin]

the c in cat in both of these should match

[orchid sorrel]

Cat_PKP00 != $cat_PKP00

[crimson basin]

reminds me of my ids for something

i dont know what drove me to name it that

[lilac shuttle]

Oh yea forgot about that

[crimson basin]

show the code?

[chilly mango]

your building might be getting loaded before the category

[left gale]

It doesnt read your category, make sure you put yor category.json above/before all other folders/files

Plugin Name Folder
|-  Icons folder
|-  blahblah.png
|-  00_category.json
|-  bydgoszcz.json
...

or put your defined category like this

  {
    "id":"$MyCategory",    //should be seen above all stuffs
    "type":"category", 
    ...
  },
  {
    "id":"$MyBuilding",
    "type":"building",
    ...
  },
  {
    //other defined ids
  },
  ... // more stuffs

[hexed elbow]

I have some questions

Do i have to crop the image of the tile?

And do i just draw over the tile?

[left gale]

Yes, you may do that, or just draw above it in layers. Tile is just a template

[hexed elbow]

I can't figure out how to choose a color

[crimson basin]

[mortal tapir]

@midnight obsidian

[stoic palm]

That do be the world texture

[kindred tide]

I can also confirm.

[livid agate]

in one place you reference ID as $cat_..., in the other place you reference it as cat_...

[mortal tapir]

I@kindred tide it's public or not

[kindred tide]

Yes the textures are free to use if that's what you're asking.

[mortal tapir]

@kindred tide ok thanks

[kindred tide]

Anytime.

[mortal tapir]

@kindred tide really appreciate it

[dreamy hearth]

@sleek crown THANK YOU so much for the much needed areal view of AEON Tower, I'll make it as soon as I'm done with the update of the Philippine Central Bank

[uncut acorn]

Isnt this supposed to be #plugin-support ?

[unique pivot]

It seems that your issue is with category... It's not too hard, have you made sure there is such category/you added it correctly?

Maybe just remove it and see if it works without it for now

Also yeah #plugin-support

[thorny arrow]

Oops

[waxen pivot]

Guys, tell me, how to make and draw a runway line?

I want to make a plug-in for airport runways post soviet space

[uncut acorn]

Now this is better

[waxen pivot]

I have a question, how to draw a runway correctly?

[thorny arrow]

@unique pivot

[waxen pivot]

Should it be drawn oblong or small?

[unique pivot]

(why ping me) I don't have experience in drawing a runway, but how are you making it?

in-game runways are some form of road afaik

so it can't bee too short/too long

[waxen pivot]

Can you help with the runway code?

[uncut acorn]

Front gate update

Pillars were added

[unique pivot]

not really

try searching on forum

[waxen pivot]

I found the code, but there was another problem

[waxen pivot]

How to fix it?

@unique pivot

[unique pivot]

change the id after copying code

[waxen pivot]

But as? It's just that I indicate in the ID not 00 but 01, but I still have an error, the truth is already different

[unique pivot]

have you read the error

[waxen pivot]

And by the way, how to make a 3-lane runway line on Android?

[unique pivot]

you cant be righter than an error

[urban grove]

5×5? Pretty big building

[unique pivot]

if there's an error you obviously did something wrong

you either didn't change it, it's still similar, or you didnt save it

you should make another ID (dont just change the number)

[urban grove]

Custom roads and i13 road pack (my mistake i thought you meant 3 lane road)

[unique pivot]

I think they mean how to make a plugin for that

[thorny arrow]

5x5

[waxen pivot]

You did not understand how to make the plugin in the game have 3 cells?

[urban grove]

Is that even possible?

[waxen pivot]

Yes

[unique pivot]

not sure lol, even if it is, it's probably complicated

I think vanilla runways are just special roads with special build tool?

[urban grove]

Seeing this game is tiles based, it's gonna be pretty hard and complicated

[unique pivot]

had anyone ever made a plugin that works like them?

[unique pivot]

by "special roads" I mean that it likely works like roads (or just connects the same way), but textured in a different way

or at least something close to that

[waxen pivot]

Can I make my own id?

[urban grove]

Yes you can

[unique pivot]

yes, that's the purpose of IDs

every id you use should be your own

[waxen pivot]

Okay thank you

And another question, how to make a category for the plugin?

[urban grove]

You making a runway plugin?

[unique pivot]

its a good idea to add name of your plugin/your username to ID (maybe in shortened form)

that basically removes the possibility of there being another plugin with same ID

[unique pivot]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewforum.php?f=41 see this (and pins)

[waxen pivot]

Yes, I myself live in Ukraine, and I want to make a plugin similar to Ukrainian runways

[unique pivot]

if you ask someone for help here, there's 80% chance they'll redirect you to somewhere on this page

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=4269

didnt take much to find what you're looking for

[waxen pivot]

Now I'll try to replace the id with my own

[unique pivot]

Maybe an easy way would be to make your runway a retextured road that doesnt allow vehicles on it

it wouldn't be functional

but would look close to ingame runways

that might be the only way to do this anyway

[waxen pivot]

I want planes to land on my runway

[unique pivot]

as I said this is probably impossible

or information on this is hard to find

[waxen pivot]

But how do I make the runway so that it functions?

[unique pivot]

.

[waxen pivot]

This is possible because I downloaded the runway plugin

[surreal oasis]

Hasn't someone made a custom runway before?

[unique pivot]

then check the code

maybe then it's possible

[urban grove]

Custom runway? I think so

[midnight obsidian]

if the code is unavailable then it's best to ask the creator about that

[unique pivot]

just doesnt have a tutorial (or its hard to find)

[waxen pivot]

What to indicate in tags (

[waxen pivot]

What is the airport category?

@unique pivot

[unique pivot]

Isn't it straightforward

[waxen pivot]

How to create your own category

[midnight obsidian]

i think there's a tutorial on forums for that

[urban grove]

@waxen pivot

[waxen pivot]

Okay

[midnight obsidian]

2 days late but thanks lol

7/9

[crimson basin]

prettyyyy

[midnight obsidian]

i'm done with the 8th frame but i am too lazy to draw the 9th one so i think i'll just reuse some trees from other frames

[thorny arrow]

some small beautiful trees

@midnight obsidian could you teach me how to draw a tree ?

[midnight obsidian]

9/9

[midnight obsidian]

i usually:

• draw the branches first
• draw blobs of leaves on the branches
• delete a few pixels from the blobs
• shade the leaves
• add other details

i'd say it's easy to learn but hard to master

[thorny arrow]

thank you

[midnight obsidian]

you're welcome

[midnight obsidian]

aaa saving these trees into files is probably the worst part

[chilly mango]

now grow the trees using lua

theyre good

[midnight obsidian]

lilac industry

[midnight obsidian]

how the hell else should i work

whoops! forgot to rename folder

[orchid sorrel]

😩

[midnight obsidian]

@orchid sorrel this is correct, right?

[orchid sorrel]

[midnight obsidian]

thanks

[chilly mango]

your launch pad being uncentered in different rotations

[midnight obsidian]

thanks a lot

[chilly mango]

if i have to organise more of leaf's trucks i would go insane

[crimson basin]

prettyyy

[midnight obsidian]

no

i'm too lazy to draw an icon now so i'm not gonna draw it now so expect the plugin to be released like this week but not today

[thorny arrow]

it doesn't really stand out with the default grass color

[glad lynx]

yea sure, I still liked it

[lilac shuttle]

Have y'all seen this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vibo.jsontool

Look better then other json app

[stoic palm]

I mean they all work the same

It's just about what works best of you

[lilac shuttle]

JSON having some issues so

[oblique tundra]

I use it

[uncut acorn]

Bevise is back in forum

[rich birch]

I have some free time now so I guess I could start a project once in a while

[orchid scroll]

Is that gedung sate

[rain gate]

Wow, is the gedung sate an update?

[rich birch]

Yuh

Now with better version and better scale

[crimson basin]

looks nice

[urban grove]

I thought you were gonna retired? Did you changed your mind. Looks nice btw

[crimson basin]

akuu took a break for school

howd those exams and stuff go btw?

[rich birch]

well after I took the college test I needed to wait a month to find out the announcement whether I was accepted or not (for the college)
Since I'm also out of school I really don't have an agenda and I have a month free until June therefore I think I can work on a plugin project for filling my void

[dreamy hearth]

You're going to college as well?

[uncut acorn]

Nice

[midnight obsidian]

ok

oops

accidentally turned on the cyrillic keyboard lol

[dapper light]

Aren’t we all?

[urban grove]

Hold up! I see something SUS here. No please get out of my head

[midnight obsidian]

terraria crimson

[urban grove]

Kinda reminds me of that trees in Minecraft (Nether update) anyway, is this a new upcoming plugin?

[midnight obsidian]

you bet

this is a nicer color but it blends in with the grass too much

[dapper light]

Can you do something with red and green?

[midnight obsidian]

i'll see, depends on how motivated i feel

[midnight obsidian]

i think i'll stick to the original color

[dapper light]

Kinda funny how I keep mocking my Tottenham friend for weeks now

[uncut acorn]

So much bloom

[midnight obsidian]

best paired with my other tree plugins

[uncut acorn]

And this is even more bloom

[midnight obsidian]

i think this leaf color is the best, but i just don't like how it blends in with the grass

[rich birch]

Yup

Anyway this is the size comparison between old and update version

Still wip anw

[midnight obsidian]

nice

[dapper light]

Technical or something else?

It’s been fun studying general science and calculus

💀

[rich birch]

well i took english literature

*oops offtopic

[dreamy hearth]

Ikr

[dapper light]

Bro studying English lore

[rich birch]

😔👌

[midnight obsidian]

okay well now this is the hardest part, finding the right leaf color

[echo prairie]

green

[midnight obsidian]

thanks a lot

but what shade of green

[echo prairie]

green

[midnight obsidian]

yeah okay but like what exact shade

is it lime green

is it champagne color?

[deep yacht]

i think that tree is taller than the one larisa made

[dusk kernel]

Hey, INFP Gang

[rich birch]

Okay now it's done

*no rotation feature
*no night animation

[hardy tapir]

Now I want some sate

[rich birch]

Evolution of gedung sate
Which one is better?

[hardy tapir]

Ooh 👀

The newer one looks more refined

[rich birch]

Wdym

[hardy tapir]

Well, it has better proportions, colors, and other details

[rich birch]

Oww yeah
That's why i'm back to rework it

[warm spruce]

smh i prefer old colors

[neat lance]

Massive improvement

[rich birch]

Yuh ^-^

[rich birch]

Well I thought I'd try to fix the color

^-^

I'm going to put this old thing here
🥴

Old gedung sate

[orchid scroll]

Skewer building

[crimson basin]

new one scale and colour is better 💜

[rich birch]

do any of you want to try my plugin? I need a tester :')

[rain gate]

Sure.

[rich birch]

Alr hold on

*dm for say "yes"

[urban grove]

New > old, is more like a refined version, i think the color is a bit too dark unless it's like that irl

[rain gate]

?

[rich birch]

I mean for those of you who are interested in trying to test my new plugin you can dm me

[misty pawn]

Yaaay free plugin can I take it👀

[rich birch]

Yup
But don't ever try to released them on store and forum

[misty pawn]

Nah just study it and probably change some colors

[oblique tundra]

Too dark

[unique pivot]

I like new colors more

I don't think it's too dark

[summer kestrel]

I mean, it doesn't seem too dark but since many people do think its too dark maybe a very slight lightening of the colour could work

[deep yacht]

Ah indonesian building

the last time i saw it, it was stolen from some guys

[neat lake]

Looking good
But to be honest the shape looks kinda wrong for me

I can help with the detailing if you want

[dim thorn]

Hello

[summer kestrel]

Goodbye

[dim thorn]

Correct?

[orchid sorrel]

no

there are missing brackets

you aren't supposed to put quotes around numerical values and booleans

there is no such type as tram

[dim thorn]

Okey thanks

[misty pawn]

[rain gate]

yes yes cranes 🥰

[misty pawn]

There will be more and not just cranes

Also if it doesn't turn out to be troublesome why not minotowoc too

[rain gate]

I cant wait XD

[misty pawn]

Well ...DEAL WITH IT I'M SLOW

But I'm seriously trying to make them faster I need them too

😵‍💫

[rain gate]

Take your time, quality over quantity.

[rich birch]

Sure

[strange cloud]

Yakka's May & June plugin plans

• Indonesian Buildings Pack (Countryside) 🇦
• Indonesian Trucks (Mostly Japanese brands) 🇧
• KCIC Railway Pack 🇨
• Yakka's German Train Pack (Modern) 🇩

Which one do you want me to make it first?

[neat lance]

🇦 sounds intresting
We need more southeast asian style buildinf

[fresh urchin]

Canadian National Railway's EMD SD70ACe locomotive

[neat lance]

Yoo
Someone's finally make canadian train

[fresh urchin]

Yes, it will also come with its place where it will be generated

[strange cloud]

One comment: had better shading at the locomotive,you can use my plugin for refrence. (Indonesia transport pack)

[fresh urchin]

ok I'll take it into account, thanks

[rich birch]

I've corrected the color (become lighter)

[lapis moat]

I'd say that looks pretty good

Texture is great, color is very, very nice
10/10

[rich birch]

Aw thank you

[lapis moat]

No problem ^w^

[regal python]

Guys what plugins & forum plugins should I use for logging equipment & area?

[crimson basin]

logging eqipment?

[dim thorn]

Complex industry

[regal python]

Plug-in or forum?

[regal python]

yep

I have construction equipment and vehicles… but not logging

[crimson basin]

Complex industry

[regal python]

Forums?

[crimson basin]

it has logging facilities

[crimson basin]

#builder-content

server

[regal python]

can I get a zip file of Complex industry? I can’t seem to find it… or just the full name

[crimson basin]

join the server

#builder-content message

the file is there

[regal python]

Ok thx 🤩

[fresh urchin]

This design also needs to improve the shading?

[crimson basin]

is that a train?

[fresh urchin]

It's a locomotive

[surreal oasis]

that means the same i guess

[crimson basin]

looks a bit off

i couldnt instantly tell what that was by looking at it

[fresh urchin]

Emmm Well I guess yes xD

[fresh urchin]

According to the dictionary it says: Vehicle made up of several wagons pulled by a locomotive, which runs on rails and is used for the transport of people or goods.

[fresh urchin]

Oh, I get it

[surreal oasis]

ugly ahh reskin

I plan on adding like a helipad, and some commercials on the sides as well

Credits to the developers for the asset i used

ah yes

[thorny arrow]

How the glass layer actually look like

and after adding columns, floors and some adjustments

[sharp kettle]

any videos about basics and tutorials for paint.net?

8 times
8 times im drawing a plugin in pixly today it crashed

[dapper light]

Paint.net is quite easy, messing around is enough

[uncut acorn]

Is your progress lost after crashes?

[sharp kettle]

4 hour of work

vanished

[uncut acorn]

Ouch that hurts

Is that because of insufficient storage?

Or some kind?

[dapper light]

If you want your work to be transparent, always add an empty layer bellow your work layers

[dreamy hearth]

Paint.net's user-friendly which means that you can use the app without the need of a tutorial

[dapper light]

If you are up to watch tutorials, then I recommend using GIMP @sharp kettle

GIMP is more advanced

[midnight obsidian]

I just paste the template into the first layer, and then on other layers i add stuff

If i want it to be transparent then i just delete the template layer and everything's fine

[midnight obsidian]

Anyways, one of the more important buttons in paint.net is one that turns off anti aliasing, you can find it on the top where you control sensitivity and stuff when you use tools like line or brush

[sharp kettle]

9th crash

[sharp kettle]

kk

[sharp kettle]

microsoft?

[midnight obsidian]

dotpdn

you're on windows?

[sharp kettle]

ya

[midnight obsidian]

yeah then dotpdn

[surreal oasis]

Lmfao the ads are quite concerning

[thorny arrow]

Yeah i forgot to cut it out

[surreal oasis]

I usually turn off my wifi when i use ibispaint

[surreal oasis]

hmm

[misty pawn]

Can someone explain combinations and how to code them on json

Or just send me an example

[sharp kettle]

you mean building compositions?

[misty pawn]

Idk😵‍💫 like making a building with 2 parts something like 2x1 or so

@sharp kettle

[sharp kettle]

yes. building composition

[misty pawn]

Can you explain it in a simple way

[summer kestrel]

Ah, you want to make a building that is rectangular

Great work, I feel they have quite the use in complex and compact city layout

[chilly mango]

no way

complex

[sharp kettle]

Nope, i havent tried building composition

[loud pumice]

Hello

Hey, could you tell me if the code for a residence is correct or I'm wrong, I'm new to these fields of programming

[misty pawn]

I somehow did it but it seems wrong...... really wrong -_-

[misty pawn]

Yup

Rahmanma such of a pro creator 🇮🇩

Reminds me of Arif

[crimson basin]

[rich birch]

*God I'm rich

[crimson basin]

[rich birch]

I'm just experimenting with the codes I have

[crimson basin]

hmm

[rich birch]

Turns out I can overcome poverty in hard mode XD

[crimson basin]

👀

and you can set the plugin to only sandbox mode

:)

make it essentially useless ✨

[rich birch]

How can I set it up in the sandbox?

ಠಿ⁠_⁠ಠ

[crimson basin]

no clue but kami did that for his plugin i think

[velvet cloud]

Also, how to adjust park influence radius?

It's just too big

[uncut acorn]

Colored version of Brandenburg Gate

Is it too good?

[orchid scroll]

It's nice

Wdym too good

[uncut acorn]

I was thinking about the colors

Is it better?

If it's too bright, I'll just increase the dark of the gate a bit

[orchid scroll]

It might be a Little too bright

Just a little

[velvet cloud]

Add little shadows ig

[uncut acorn]

Although I recently tried to do this

Sorta bright

[velvet cloud]

Add people under or front of the gate

I suggest

[uncut acorn]

I will try even though my plugin is as rotation aware

[velvet cloud]

That will be too hard but, keep it up!

[crimson basin]

is the park influence code "influence park":x?

[uncut acorn]

Yes

[velvet cloud]

Ok, I'll write it down

[crimson basin]

yeah use that then to adjust your park influence

[rain gate]

Considering the history, I suggest you make the roofs darker and have more texture

[crimson basin]

thankyou

[velvet cloud]

Nvm I don't know where to put it

[velvet cloud]

Can I send you the json script to your dm so you can write it?

[uncut acorn]

Oh yes... I knew it was too bright enough. Thanks for the suggest 🙂

[crimson basin]

anywhere

remember to put a comma

unless its the last one

[sharp kettle]

nice

woops sorry for the ping

[rich birch]

Oh god
It got remastered by Rahmanma 🥲👏

[uncut acorn]

Woah are you kidding me???

[uncut acorn]

Btw who is Rahmanma?

[rich birch]

N o

[rich birch]

One of the Indonesian plugin creators

*like Arif

[uncut acorn]

My goodness

I wanna be like him

[rich birch]

Go ahead

[uncut acorn]

Is he uploading plugins at the forum?

Or he kept them private?

@rich birch

[rich birch]

I will release it as a plugin update

Due to it being a collaboration plugin

[uncut acorn]

No I meant is he have his own plugins uploaded in the plugin store

[rich birch]

Yup

There are several plugins there

[uncut acorn]

What are the plugins that he have made?

[rich birch]

One of them is the Borobudur temple

The maj dago, and others

[uncut acorn]

Ohhhhh

Such a great Indonesian plugin creator

[rich birch]

Yuh yuh

[rich birch]

Alr now it's darker

What do you think guys?

[urban grove]

Sheesh that look amazing, your version is also good, but it does missing the back part.

[rich birch]

Lsc will do the rest

[uncut acorn]

I'll see what I can do to finish them up 🙂

[rich birch]

👏😌

[crimson basin]

i cant tell what the difference is but right one looks more pleasing

oh

\the pixel on the top

[rich birch]

The left one

[sharp kettle]

the textures in the truck is kinda crazy and i place them manually one by one

also cant forget snow frame too for all of these trucks

[dawn folio]

The one on the left is more transitional then the right, if that makes sense.

[sharp kettle]

huh

[dawn folio]

The right one has a bulge on the actual trailer and the left one doesn’t

[sharp kettle]

yes

[rich birch]

Cool truck
Ice truck
And
Blueberry truck

Yay it work

I'm looking for a beta tester 🤪

[sharp kettle]

Pidroid would say "that wasnt very cash money of you"

[rich birch]

🥴👌

[crimson basin]

oh looks very nice

i can test it out for ya

[rich birch]

Alr hold on

[unique pivot]

trying my hand at medieval stuff ig

#plugin-suggestions message

just sketching out for now

[rich birch]

Oh my god

[urban grove]

Yo can i also test it?

[rich birch]

Yep

[unique pivot]

well I surely don't like medieval stuff

for now idk what should the angle here be

for now I'll keep it like this

[crimson basin]

oh that looks good

i was worried it looked weird for a sec

[midnight obsidian]

this is looking pretty cool

[unique pivot]

thanks

[sharp kettle]

btw, any uh.. suggestions, critics?

[misty pawn]

Maybe shadows

[crimson basin]

cute trocks 🥺

[sharp kettle]

ill add that later

[unique pivot]

working on it

[crimson basin]

omg

thats soooo pretty

[lapis moat]

Absolutely gorgeous mate
I give that a 'Gordon Ramsey would approve if it was food'/10

[unique pivot]

thanks

I cant find any photos on the back part

[crimson basin]

i was really questioning it for the first two shots

[unique pivot]

except google maps

[crimson basin]

but man

youre incredible

[unique pivot]

so I may need to improvise

well that was a real basic sketch of shapes and I messed up the roofs

so yeah it didnt look too good

I wonder what other random small suggestion will I make after I finish

actually I could try keeping up medieval/european theme

but that might get a bit hard

[unique pivot]

that is too far though, another building

hmm
