should this have night frames? :trollface:
Your choice, if not then be ready for the comments. For me i don't really care about night animation
I'd add night lights (I usually do), but it's a medieval building
although they still had lights
sorta
Like torches?
#plugin-suggestions message maybe add one of these (just searched medieval in suggestions)
how much medieval plugins are there btw
is there really a shortage now?
however I think medieval industry plugin will be a rare one, I think I'll make a few barns
Let's see :
Age Of Sail
Seignur
Fachwerk Houses
Medieval ports
That's all i can think of
I think the Spanish ships is a plug-in.
Medieval theme plugins are not really popular (yet) that's probably the reason
Not sure if that counts as Medieval though.
@rain gate do you have a name/location so i can look up more pics?
(but I think I'll make it anyway)
Don't forget about ECA
The town of Trub, also small houses in Lungern
also in Switzerland
Lungern and Trub btw
I think I'll just do the pic you sent in #plugin-suggestions
maybe some T industry barns too
and enough
you do you :Silverwolfthumbsup:
youre a fast worker
the spacing on this doesnt work with windows 😭
i started with 4 spacing at the top
and then it was working out till i got to bottom left
two spacing went poof
help
i dont think im doing it right 🥺
i wanted to get a yellow granitish effect
like cobblestone but a bit different
well, i dont know what do you mean by yellow granitish effect
neither do i honestly
im gonna pool on top of it
i think i should make it all wooden
what are you making?
the roof for my purple building
Wow fast progress
It's getting better now
Thank you so much rahmanma
Still modular?
Omygosh this is perfect!
He made the trees?
Yep
They aren't here?
He's here
Ok, so as not to make it modular
I decided to add a tree area behind to make it fit 10x10
Who check plugin
?
A walkway should be placed near at the front
Alright, should i get rid of the old version or keep it and release them both at the same pack?
You should put both because that means the users can both do freeform or already detailed building
Woah! What do these do?
These look like I will need it for my medieval town(atleast)
👍
That's like a 1920s building
Cool tho
ok i will decide to keep both of them but i am only releasing the remastered version on the store while the original version will be released along with the remastered on the forum 👌
Is this enough? Or do I tone the grass saturation down?
Also, how do I add night animation?
Desaturate the greens and you're good
From today until the end of 2023 I will choose one or some buildings in random countries to make Plugins

woah woah woah when was the last time i updated my plugin
Congratulation
Make the first one from American samoa
Holy moly you
lungern
its just a demo shadow
How did you get the app to crash with such small pixels
Bunny what is this app
This
Pixly
Phone
trucks, but very detailed version
buildings are easier imo
How?
i think only god heavens above have the answer to that question
RAM?
idk, its just start crashing often suddenly
pain.
i used this app before finely
also i make plugins on mobile sometimes. I usually do the sprites on the bus. I also have a json app but I dont really use it since I assemble my plugins on pc. But its entirely do-able solely on mobile.
Wdym
uuuh that's neat and cozy
Make a house in Lungern Switzerland
I'll continue working on that pack tomorrow
Hi @rain gate
I couldn't thank you for the plugins as I don't share the same private Discord server, but how do I add them to the game?
Ptag files
TheoTown files are located under such directories:
▪︎ Windows: C:\Users(insert username)\TheoTown
▪︎ Linux: /home/$USER/TheoTown
▪︎ MacOS: /user/TheoTown
▪︎ Android: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files
By default you should be in /storage/emulated/0/
Reinstalling the game for Android will delete all files, unless you decide to keep the files when prompted by uninstaller.
Alternatively, you can access the files through in-built TheoTown file manager, accessible through the in-game menu.
You can find your plugin, music, region and city files there as well as logs for debugging purposes.
put it in the "plugin" folder under the directionary
then if your game is open, youd want to restart it
I got it, thanks! One question, the plugins are in .zip, do I add them in zip or do I have to extract them?
OK thanks!
no problem, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask
What are those houses on the right?
Seignur pack
Thanks
Why hasn't my plugin been approved yet? It's been almost two weeks now
sad
Which plugin anw?
Can somone send me how to make a plugin and how to upload it pls
Read the pinned messages
How to make textuer
And again read the pinned messages. It's outlined there
JUST GIVE ME A DAMN VIDEO TO HOW TO MAKE A PLUGIN AND TEXTURE
Ppunish @dusk steppe
ULTRANEON#3323 has been warned: excessive use of caps, inability to follow directions
Read the pinned content or don't complain.
Need the vedio im dumb like a pig
I don't know what to tell you mate
There are literally messages that are videos
Check out my channel for more tutorials!

bro was a little angry
Bro just check the pins, there you would find tutorials and videos.
what’s a pin?
sigh this is a pin 📌 and in discord you can pinned messages.
my iq is -20 sorry
Does this kinda fit now?
Hmmm
What buildings can I make with this color
Probably a nightclub
Hmmmm
Hi guys, what y'all think of the medieval hospital?
I used ArtStation's texture for this one, but of course, I will give credits. I will take it down IMMEDIATELY if it's copyright
It's kind of too realistic
Holy that's look amazing
Did you actually make that?
Read my description, I used ArtStation's texture, but I modified it
It breaks the plugins rules though
Bit helo how can i upload my plugin
Go to forum.theotown.com
And then go to plugin store
And
Select "Upload Plugin"
But first you need to be logged in
And then fill all the needed fields(title, text, image, plugin zip, cost, minimum version, platforms) to upload your plugin
Good luck with getting approved though
But, I'll do it myself
Heyyy can you download my plugin
Can you download my plugin heh
The moderators need to approve your plugin first, before others can download it
Its been aprove
Yes
Skill issue #1
- Begging for downloads
Wait, you're the one who released the SM mall plugin yes?
@dusk steppe if you wanna have a plugin that will definitely get approved, hit me up and I'll give you some lessons when I'm available
He wants videos
Better if it's through chat n advice imo
weird
How does the plugin look like
Mhm
Ah
Hm
looks pretty cool
I would look deeper into this but there's too much tree plugins
is that a money tree?
Oh
but there's a tree as a reward
money treee
will add more rewards if I can
@orchid sorrel thoughts? (pinged you because you're the only one who may respond and know more about that)
no idea
And I was right
could ask lobby
just sent a pm to commander
They think you stole that one guy who made Japanese yellow trees, I think?
We live in a dystopia
hope it gets approved soon
Me too, I like that tree
So beautiful
Is Pixly only for pc?
no, isnt pixly amobile app?
I can't find it on the app store
It's for Android i think
Ah...
Damnit, it's only available for older Android versions
That's why I can't find it
Thank you, I'll try that one
I'm trying to find an app to make noise and texture, it's too hard on Pixel Studio
since when?
i got my device last year and i was able to get it
Ah, wait
IOS? Is that Apple stuff?
I'll show you
yes
"This app is unavailable on your device because it was built for an older version of Android."
my phone was a pretty recent model though
it was released last year and i bought it in august
you can try these
Hmm
i think you know the requirements for a basic graphic app?
Pixelstudio isn't even in the pins
ask typical player to add that
Ok
It says the same for the other two
They aren't available
cursed app!, app of torture and sorrow!
Lmao
poor chipper
whats your device specifications?
maybe you dont meet the ones the app requires?
Ah, Android 13?
Same reason why pixel car racer stopped development
Ah wait
64-bit pixly when?
it's google policy change for playstore
To help make Target API level deadlines clearer, we are unifying the dates to August 31 every year. Starting August 31, 2023: New apps and app updates must target API level 33 to
Google play store developer policy
In that case Pixly has an API level of 29 or lower?
I can find that out for ya, but yes
I see
Ahhh so each android version has an API like Android 13 being API lvl 32?
whats an api again?
Thanks for the explanation
Or API 33 has that functionality removed or restricted which was available in API 32.
would you look at that
So all you really have to do is increase the targetSdkVersion to allow your game/app to stay in the playstore?
Mostly, you also have to adhere to the changes made in those higher api levels
such as the semi-recent change in how storage access is mandated
There's a whole page for developers
this is the idea of what shape its gonna be
Woah nice
how i can do plugins?
Check pins
thanks :)
Oomaga
Wdym?
Dude always ask something and then disappear
see the world texture
Honestly we simply just follow the colors of real-life buildings
Maybe I should say for details
Are you talking about shaders?
Maybe idk
@rain gate please have specific assets for your #plugin-suggestions
What don't you understand?
Plugins creators can't choose themselves a thing in a requested theme, you have to give them specific things so that they know how to choose
A plugin creator can make whatever they want. But that's not the point of that channel.
Oh
Some animals
WIP- still have quite a lot left to doo ✨
when theres a name of a member, names infront is the person who picked the schemes
Eggo building
my favourite is still the ocean one
Oohh nice buildings
This is curious
I want one
Looks like pearl XD
XD
would make or choose a palette but I'm not sure which one I want
||Use Rose Quartz pallete||
dm me after youre done choosing
coming from the guy who chose it lol
And me? 🥺
sure
anyone can, but i might take some time to add all of them
Lol same color, same character color style
@sage grail
I will try that in future to make some steam loco's of your beloved country.
Holy moly
wow
it hasn't updated since 2019
Google apparently removed apps that haven't updated for years
@versed monolith
sorry for the ping but I'm just letting you know if you can fix the bug on these ships so they don't get cut off 🙏🏼
The same bug happened from AdmiralCarl's ship plugins
Although I think he forgot to widening the size of it a bit
How about your Titanic?
Just make the ship modular
Heres the progress ✨
all the palettes i received till this morning (minus USA na Malaysia) The rest ill do in the evening
Bunny
How about this?
Avatar
Lmao
i will, thatll go in the colours one
i havent expanded that one yet
right now im focusing more on friends and flags
Okay ^-^
What plug-in is that? (May I ask for it?)
time to remake my plugin
Yay
Oh...
ye
Did u save it in the forums?
Alright
how do i make a plugin again
the json crap
i might as well automate it for the sake of laziness
Good luck man
where is the template
U know what @dusk steppe if u still interested in making plugins lmk
I forgot
But it's by maximum
i forgot what i was gonna search for
It hasn't been approved yet😭, I think it should be set as a private plugin early next month
Let's just hope it's not commander...
You can just ping Kulche or The26
@regal python I dont know if youve already been told this, but please ask in one channel and wait till someone replies
Soo sorry!
I’m planning on building my port currently
i know, so wait for a reply in #town-square
hello good ladies and gentlemen, one question, what is the code to make a decoration?
😅

I unexpectedly delayed it for some reasons
Could I see it 🙂
No really.... I delayed it a few months ago then it's unfinished and haven't been working ever since ... I'll try to do it soon
Ok then :)
Its nice that you put someone's favorite colors or profile picture colors into your buildings
Just necessities and "category": "decoration",
oh, im having more fun than them I think.
feels like this is something that would help me get better
owo
1
they can't
afaik they dont like pings because of that
and do it in order
if you run out of patience then you can ping me to get your submission checked out faster
but will i check i can't guarantee
if you run out of patience
oh surely 90% of people will completely ignore this part
yeah if you spam ping me then i'm not gonna bother at all
only ping me if you get desperate
You can still improve
This is my first plugin. I have improved a lot since then
There are many tips you can find in the pins of this channel
Try removing the black outline :)
You don’t change it to anything.
Just refer to other plugins and vanilla buildings, and you’ll be fine. I also recommend looking in the pins or for tutorials on YT to help improve.
Like this? Idk what you meant by vents
Added more billboards (credits to devs for all the textures used)
No
POV: you don't have 3× speed
Your so talented me no
Look 😢
Everyone started looking like that, don't give up
There are plenty of tutorials, check pins
There are certain forbidden yet legal methods
I recommend starting something small, 2×2 or 1×1 for beginners
such as well, taking things from world texture
Isn't this a vanilla building? I hope you make some changes and be original
A frickton, that is
Thats why i need about like 15 billboard textures to add detail
That's not really forbidden, as long you credit the developer for the graphics.
yes of course
Mine is 3x3
You talented as heck
Useless billboard
All the billboard so far
Give me some ideas on what to billboard
It's not about talent for the most part. It's about skill and pure determination to make a plugin that looks good
Its about skill
Yes
Skill issue
thank you very much for your help
Nevermind
What
New thumbnail style for this serie
Blue tick: Commercial
Green tick: Residential
American samoa
Is this a plugin
No, but it is related to plugin making since it is his trademark kind of thing that goes over all his preview images . And its for the new buildings which he is making.
Ok
How do you create plug-ins on mobile/Pc?
Read the Pins on this channel ( #plugin-discussion )
Minor spelling mistake 😔
sad
Yo
Yo your city 😎
👍
Tiny improvements
a bit closer to a 797 now
Where diagonal variant
no.
custom or express??
i chose express
yes hello! youre interested in making plugins?
yes
pick express if you dont want to bother dealing with messing with settings?
That great! There are plenty of people around to help you with that and lots of tutorials. Much luck to you in making that.
uh?
well, i guess ill dig deeper on some YT vids
bc theres also some plugins for paint.net i guess
@crimson basin it's a blue house mansion does it look beautiful house!!
it does
yeah im on my way to watch cocomelon right as i speak
all 800 episodes
I would, but unfortunately, its just not my style and Ive probably got more WIP plugins than i can count on 2 hands. Feel free to post in #plugin-suggestions so someone else can give it a try if they want to. Or you can discover the wonderful world of plugin making yourself
OK so how I'm I supposed to do making plugin myself, what do you say.
you can check the pins. All you need is a pixel drawing app and something you can write a json with, For the second part you can take a shortcut and use the PCA website.
https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2965
This website will have all the resources you need. If you have any questions, dont be shy to ask.
Funny
what app u use for this
Pixel Studio
very funny
that street light should visit the surgeon
Lmao
😭
Yey I don't need to make it anymore
im not releasing this
Ohno
incredible
What app do you use?
I think it's pixly
K
it's pixly
Is pixly only on Android?
Android only
Yes
Oof 😓
you are from iOS?
Yes
I'm sure there is pixel art making on IOS, maybe just search "pixel"
Only found this
Sadly not
I think you could use these applications: Pixaki, Docpict and Pixel Studio
Here is what I see so far.
You should try the first one that appears
Yes it would
i am a surgeon
Attempt to make suspension bridge...
Brandenburg gate :
"Hello! What about me!??"
Is the night light like this too bright or too dark?
It's good maybe turn it down slightly?
Which country will be the first one that i made plugin?
American samoa

...
Belgium
It was in the list but not the first one
Actually it's a territory not a country 🤓
Looks fine
Do you agree?
American samoa it is
Please stop this joke
What is it then
Looks fine tho could add some decos? Like people or some cars, it feels a bit empty
Maybe... After adding some noises and others in the gate
could you give the area above a darker and greenish tint like the one in vanilla??
the format ye but the noise and colors...
Vietnam
Real 
Like this?
Where exactly is bright though?
I'll try to darken it if I can
I beg you to match the color with that roof
I agree
The darker one though look like the sun has been set for the gate, so this one is better for noon weather
What about the statue?
You know what Ill just undo it back
Copper oxidation?
Ummmm maybe
I would say the roof irl is really bright
why is Europe obsessed with circle roofs
Idk, maybe it looks cool or let natural light pour inside
Indeed it is so that's why I made it bright
But the statue is gonna blend in.
*that's what i was talking about earlier
Well I think I did blend in the statue
So far it's midnight for me, I'mma have to go on for a break and sleep
I'mma work on that tomorrow
I'm ready to get started to make!!!
dont forget to use the templanes on the pins..
hey small amount of people who remember this plugin, im remaking it and here is day 1
ok
Best of luck!
@orchid sorrel Can you approve it? Thank you.🥺
It take time for them to approve plugin
This has been uploaded for a long time
how long?
1-2 weeks
oh rip
well i guess im blessed with having my plugin approved only around 2-1 day or less
It all depends on them
no I can not
I don't take 'requests'
😭
Classic you lol
Imagine taking requests
I imagine a system to pay the mods so they approve the plugin quickler
||it's a joke||
priority queue on the oldest minecraft anarchy server?
sounds good
Maybe adjust the shading
Thank you for the shapes I suck at drawing a circular base
Now I have some references
usa usa usa usa🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
Oh, yes, egg dm me a palette. (Less than or equal to 12, more than one)
@humble crater
i wouldve loved it if you have a concrete texture for it
already did tho
yeah its on there lmao
chipper, you too
err.. no thanks
my random colors i picked lol
heres what the first version of the plugin looked like
I might make a new purple version with the OG colours too 🤔
thanks for asking tho
This is one of my first good looking buildings.I even use it in one of my cities
wow incrediblr
1bazilion /10
shading or noise?
Both will do the trick
shading is where i'm slightly confused however
Yoo that's nice
Oh so that explains why my plugin size in the game is so big
What kind thing should I put on the roof
Funny
amogus statue
Huh
also nuclear silo
I was thinking samething
Very cool
Wish I had kekman roof components texture
Indeed very cool
Do you want to make a palette? (If you do, please dm me the colours and ill get back to you after school)
Is there a way to separate train cars from other cars?
In other words, near the locomotive there is a platform that seems to be incomplete.
I updated this waterpump plugin
Which one is better?
2023
2021
Final result
Its so cool
Thank you
I know i already suggested this but add decos like trees or some cars or people. General things
Put $car_null00 between wagons, including locomotives.
I thought it acts as filter for sewage
Why when I put those firetrucks and people Fence on ground they are on right size but in the icon (highlighted) they are small? I searched everywhere in the code to see if there's an error.
Btw they are a fence
Is the cropped correctly?
Ooooooh. So it's the blank spaces that do this?
yeah man was it
thanks
I'm struggling a bit to turn my new plugin into reality but let's go, it's mistake and success haha
if all goes well in july it's available
Happy to help! And good luck!
What’s the plug-in name pls?
You know what... Yeah
I could've not been satisfied about the blank space cuz it looks empty, so yeah I agree to your suggestion
4 plugin works in a month 😳
Sure
dm it to me when youre done. There are 12 floors.
forum
more details
Electricity tax : 📈
Bro send me ur billboards I wanna use them
Uh sure
Thank you
Check your dms
blue flower
Better than me
4 months 1 plugin 😓
Added neeeeeooooon lines
after im done with my plugin I might just omit the personal buildings from the plugin, skipout the jnight animation and release it, but i dont think people will like that that much but eh
neonnnn
Skip noight animation
Lol
testing purpooses
Primitives
Ciberpunk
im sorry if my second plugin (which is a remake of my first) doesn't meet your standards
as i did not expect such expectations
Ummmm it's just alright
Nothing went very badly
Unreleased as now. It's a plugin I'm working on
There is a shortage of beautiful and low-rise residential buildings 😅
how low do you consider low rise?
5 to 10 floors
ye
@crimson basin
My new Residential project
Beautiful shapes
it looks like a castle
i have a building which looks like a trasure chest
I wish we had lots of level 1 commercials
i for some reason always make level 2s
Too many TTT commercial building plugins..
Alway
KMr be like 👍
Ooooh nice design
I wishes that all of the beautiful TTT Com and Res are TT 😁
Well I will be planning to make modern commercials and residentials soon
Like someone who suggested the modern looking buildings (not exactly high rise) a few weeks ago
Right after I need to finish my busy upcoming plugins
Its like some stores in fun fair
Adorable lil' buildings
I never finished the plugin
look like some little stalls in a market
and if i do im gonna go back and fix the shadows on all of them
A suitable building on the beach
its been so long since i made these
I made it at a time where I was seriously depressed
Seems perfect tbh
I can share it if you want, but its not complete and wont be for a long time
i wanted to add more buildings
But you thought that it's not
and night animations
How many stores would you want to build anyway?
Why not 20
i could
Its fine if it is
really it depends on my mood
So that there would be more of them to be decorative
for now i wanna expand my current plugin then maybe update some of the others.
hmmm, yeah i have the images, im also busy at school so maybe after im done with my current plugin.
Hmmm... Should I release this building?
You could if you wish
Would be really cool in a district I'm planning
Ngl this looks kinda nice
I. Need. It for. My. business. Stock. Exchange. At. Clavione. City
so in theory i could use it all in one image?
Which SM is that?
Nvm found it
Yeah release it
Is there any tutorial about building composition 💀
I want acess to plugin showcase too
Your plugin role probably isnt high enough to access it
I requested Pidroid a gazillion times already 😭
Guess he thinks you still have room to improve to become a higher role?
Open to palette suggestions via dms.
And I am done for tonight
Total theres currently 37 buildings
Pickle when
when i figure out how to do it?
i mean i suppose i could always compress a pickle and make it stripes
but
idk

is prefer one
and in my dms or i might forget/lose it
why not?
my dms are definitely on. I have random people message me quite a lot
USA🇲🇾🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
1st row, 3rd from the right
and if you meant the other USA, its 1st row on the left
A more organised version
I think im missing 3 tho, oops
Funny, mine is at the front of friend choices
I didnt choose the order lol
its in no particular order, just the one the game gave me
Oh
Is there any plugins for these types of classical buildings?
Some Arangasit plugins also look like that
can you make Turkey ?
unfortunately, no. I can only do horizontal stripes
I wish to add one someday, but the mod is a lot of work so it's not planned rn.
Gravel rail 🙂
could i?
I believe so
Really? Geez
Not going to question people's judgment I do agree that there is always space for improvement
My projects are frozen anyway, so maybe when I come back
Jolly! Try this 📜
this is how i applied last year
Update
At first i thought that it looked real, insane
Themax's plugin probably
Most american ad
Lets presume thats an army recruitment ad
Followed by these ones
Added more neon lines
i love those
Ok I will try it later, thanks Steph
Trust me idk
Here's how the entire tower looks so far, yet.
The darker side is less decorated
The lithuanian flag is upside down
Poor bunny
oops 😅
Ill fix it for next time
i forget sometimes that i have to start from bottom
can i suggest another flag
you can
nice❤️
take your time and good luck
thankya
🥺
i knew something was wrong with the lithuanian flag
i think ive failed
they are supposed to look like they are sitting
NO
What is this abomination
I just went a little shopping
👀
Guys when is enough till it’s not enough
Tell me how to make it look better 😭
They are supposed to be sitting.
They are sitting
On top of each other
This is destroying my brain, my precious potato brain
I can move them to either side
you didnt do the roof right
I was trying
remove the grass at the bottom btw
N put what
nothing
keep it transparent
that way it becomes more placeable
see, no grass
just shadows
Ok
LSC would be happi, I have 9 now
its a sketch
but ye thats how i make jutting roofs
for more volume and thickness you build one more block on top of it with a ligher colour
like this
@lilac shuttle
Oh ok
do my role colors
just screenshot my roles and use the color picker
on a scale of one to ten how important is night animation when searching for a plugin
ill just post it without night animations then
its too much work plus im bad at it
That's how my people sit
hmm
It's the best solution I found 😭
tt people are weird lol
How about a tt person who also makes analog horror? Lmao
@uncut acorn
worked on it some today
now theres 12
personal favoruite is the pink and yellow stall
Looks really nice i think
You are on ios right ?
Oh cool
Nice
I think you are ready to upload them in the plugin store
Yes?
i can work on it for one or 2 more days and expand it a bit more and then i will :)
Now with transparent ground :'>
Water ground
miss the good times
Cool
Your back? (Again)
I understand
I put this old stuff here
You can use it if you want
But not for plugin store!!
Cool 🙂
I think I'll use this as a faithful inspiration
:)
How Handle Y works on fence plugin, and how I use it correctly? Sometimes if I put a high or low number, the fence disappears.
Sometimes I put 8 value, other 50 etc, on fences i making
Night animation first before releasing 🙂
bro how u use layers on pixly? i use it too but never figured out to do layers
Just add a layer and create something in the new layer you have added into your first layer
but how I add layer, theres a button? never saw
press the plus button
minus button is to delete layer
and the up/down button merges layers
Guys, I need 50s Building
I have that plugin
Please can anyone list plugin for me
