[haughty anvil]

Yea but website is faster

[haughty anvil]

I am actually looking the website with another device and its easier to select best color

There is a lot of settings in sliders

[orchid scroll]

Ah

[haughty anvil]

But yea if you use 1 device sliders are faster

[orchid scroll]

Especially if you know how it works

You know what?
Early 20th Century skyscrapers are easy to make, Art Deco is just a bunch of lines
I wanna challenge myself: I'm gonna make a Late 19th Century skyscraper

What do you guys think: a 3x3 or 4x4?

[rain gate]

3x3

[lapis moat]

Considering it's features, such as windows
I'd try 3x3 first

[dusk kernel]

Yeah, I think the same
Maybe even smaller, between 3x3 and 2x2, but I wanna get the details looking nice
So 3x3

[lapis moat]

You could try 4x4, but model it as 3.5x3.5

[dusk kernel]

Hmmm

If I need more space I'll put it on a 4x4 base, but for now I'll try 3x3

Welp, time to put old songs playlist to play and get started

[lapis moat]

Much luck mate

[dusk kernel]

Thank you, it'll be needed
Specially for the dome-like feature

[rain gate]

[strange ermine]

[stoic palm]

If you have specific things in mind for a plugin post them in #plugin-suggestions

[rain gate]

very specific, probably not

[urban grove]

No there isn't (yet), you can suggest it in #plugin-suggestions

[oblique tundra]

[oblique tundra]

Good luck dear friend

[rain gate]

[jolly coral]

[rain gate]

[lapis moat]

The pins should look like this 📌

[rain gate]

@rain gate before making suggestions, check the forums next time xD

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?p=177660&hilit=Petronas+towers#p177660

If the OPs version is too short someone graciously made a taller version linked at the bottom of the post

[crimson basin]

maybe someone wants and baby version 😉

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.

[crimson basin]

into the plugins folder

[keen swallow]

anyone knows? I didn't find anything related in forum.

[stoic palm]

Use #plugin-support so it doesn't get buried

[brittle frost]

What are the Ids for and how do I generate them?

[stoic palm]

IDs are your plugins unique identifier

You just make it whatever you want

[brittle frost]

Ok thanks

[crimson basin]

evan why are you retired from plugin making?

[stoic palm]

Eh I don't suppose I really am

I just make things that I needed

And I'm a very simple man

[crimson basin]

hmm

[midnight obsidian]

We're surrounded by smart Sims.

[brittle frost]

how do i use action?, I don't know if I put it in the correct order, because the game won't let me

[crimson basin]

i dont think theres much of a specific order to those

btw, what are you using max count for?

[orchid sorrel]

pretty sure you have to put those in a fun type array

like "on click fun" etc

[dusk kernel]

... I give up

[brittle frost]

"on click fun":[
{
???

[orchid sorrel]

well if you want to use on click fun then yes

[dim thorn]

Demn

I give up

[brittle frost]

Ok thanks

[dusk kernel]

I'm serious
Too many small details and I can't seem to get them correctly
I will stop working on it for now

[brittle frost]

Uhhh

error in the last row

[crimson basin]

because the id isnt valid

[dim thorn]

But it looks good

[brittle frost]

Oh

[static pollen]

Exaclty why I choosed the other way

[brittle frost]

What do I have to put in the id? bone which id

[crimson basin]

trying to find it, but im still not good at finding what i need

[brittle frost]

where do i look for it?

[dim thorn]

[dusk kernel]

Even if I tried using a bigger scale I would still have troubles making the details
Shading is the bane of my existence

Just, look at this mother fluffer of last floors

How am I even supposed to get it done?

[orchid sorrel]

perhaps you should read some fun attribute tutorials

[left gale]

How "occupation group":"$someidgroup" can be implemented? Can you give some sample code for that?
https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=7211
I use it like this

{
  "id":"$roaddeco1",
  "occupation group":"$roaddeco1"
},
{
  "id":"$roaddeco2",
  "occupation group":"$roaddeco2"
},
{
  "id":"$roaddeco3",
  "occupation group":"$roaddeco3"
}

but it doesnt work

[orchid sorrel]

what do you mean by "doesn't work"

you have 3 different occupation group ids so you'd be able to place all 3 on a single road

[left gale]

I would like it to be 1 roaddeco on a single road, how can I do that?

[orchid sorrel]

you don't create new drafts

you can only have a single road decoration of the same occupation group on a single road tile, simple as that

[left gale]

do you have a sample code for that?

smth like this?

{
  "id":"$roaddeco1",
  "occupation group":"$differentNameIdForOccupationGroup1"
},
{
  "id":"$roaddeco2",
  "occupation group":"$differentNameIdForOccupationGroup1"
},
{
  "id":"$roaddeco3",
  "occupation group":"$differentNameIdForOccupationGroup1"
}

[orchid sorrel]

that would only allow one of those three road decos to be placed on the same tile

[left gale]

Awesome! You will also be credited with my plugin!

[orchid sorrel]

amazing

[crimson basin]

android instructions are there as well

if that doesnt work, just go into the app, then to settings, press file icon and press to import a file inside the plugin folder

[left gale]

If you're using phone, go back to region maps then select Settings Icon then File Manager. You can now explore how to transfer a file/folder from there 😉

Imma headout

[stoic palm]

yeah you should not have done that

.mpf is reserved for plugin store files

what folder did you add it to?

ss

don't put it there

just the normal plugins folder

Managed plugins (as the name implies) is managed by the game

just in that folder

Don't use the subfolder

Caps.

It will not show up in your plugins folder in game

Should be in the commerical tab

Which was?

no

But if you aren't checking the right place you'll never find it

If you are looking for a spoon in a knife block are you going to find a spoon lmao

You asked me a stupid question

I answered the same

It should be in the commerical tab

as a level TTT building

if you still can;t find it we will try a different install method

Your welcome

[brittle frost]

now yes

[rain gate]

...

[wanton prism]

From where are those wire poles?

[rain gate]

Its in the plugin store

Look up "wires" or maybe "electric" and yoh should find it

[thin wraith]

"electric pole" by cerrera

[lilac shuttle]

How it look so far

[keen swallow]

Coming Soon - People, Props and Deco as Fence (inspired by Fitamint's old People and Props)

this is just a preview btw

[lapis moat]

That'll be pretty helpful for detailing, looks good so far

[keen swallow]

I plan to add all services vehicle, much more variants of people and miscellaneous deco

It's a project I wanna made with the community tbh, adding people desires. In July it may release

[lapis moat]

Well in that case, I'd love to see the military truck as a fence/placeable deco

[keen swallow]

Yeah. I plan to add it, as well as many vehicles of services and deco

[lapis moat]

Great to hear, always nice to have those vehicles as a deco, great for detailing certain things

[urban grove]

People and props 2.0 looks nice so far

[keen swallow]

Haha, heavily inspired

[lapis moat]

Honestly, the HL Civil Protection pack needs an update, it's missing a lot of things

I mean yeah it is just CP, but would he nice to have a full half life pack

[keen swallow]

I mean, if it isn't available anymore, why not do my own version, with my own and yours ideas?

[rich birch]

You can make a full version (of yours) if you want, because that plugin has been removed by fitamnt

[rich birch]

🤓

[keen swallow]

Yeah, im making it

Plan to release it next month

[brittle frost]

abandoned house

[orchid scroll]

No

[static pollen]

Mierdaka

[urban grove]

No, again you could suggest it in #plugin-suggestions

[haughty anvil]

Wow lovely

If you add banks it will be nice

[torn mantle]

Can someone please tell me what plugin is this building from?

[urban grove]

Rockfort i think, forum

[urban grove]

Some suggestions : More signs, ATM machines, benches, and trash can

[paper river]

I think this one https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=11140

[urban grove]

The devs need to update the vanilla museum. It looks horrible

[dreamy hearth]

None that I know of

[torn mantle]

Thank you very much. Is there any way I can install this plugin, or other plugins from Rock Fort, on iOS?

[urban grove]

Could you at least give him some tips and improvement?

[urban grove]

Is that tiny brown pixel supposed to be a door? If so then the windows are really oversized. I recommend checking the pins it would definitely help you

[regal python]

I just want to ask… is there a Zoo plug-in in the forums?

[orchid scroll]

Bro stop acting like you some kind of a greatest of all time

[brittle frost]

I already saw them

[urban grove]

I think there is a Zoo plugin

I'm not sure

[glad lynx]

nice shapes

[glad lynx]

I love soo much all of these malls, only thing I "dislike" is the logo

[dreamy hearth]

eh that one's inevitable especially after you see the actual building in person

[glad lynx]

does it add that much value to the plugin, to me it distracts and ruins it in this way

worse is it's directly angled towards your view

[uncut acorn]

Ok major problem

[storm abyss]

I have a question.

Is there a parking toll plugin?

[regal python]

What’s the plug-in

[uncut acorn]

Major fixes

Also thanks to @dreamy hearth for improving the textures of the mall
(Sorry for another ping)

[dreamy hearth]

[orchid scroll]

Yeah

[hexed elbow]

How hard

[uncut acorn]

A bit

[rich birch]

Ahh...
much better now ^-^

[urban grove]

Looks good now, except that sign SH? Ik it's supposed to be SM

[uncut acorn]

Yes... I know it's SH

The reason why it's because the logo of the mall looks a bit small

[lilac shuttle]

Should I tone down the color on this

[vernal dragon]

Soon

[thorny arrow]

There are few more steps to the final graphic, but i'm too LAZY 😁

[dreamy hearth]

First of all, kind of

[dreamy hearth]

Secondly, where is that?

[dreamy hearth]

Desaturate the colors a bit

[rich birch]

So beautiful

@rich birch
The little guy

[rich birch]

😌

[dreamy hearth]

Thanks

[dreamy hearth]

Make the bricks a bit more brown

[carmine hemlock]

Apparently, the approval of the plug-in store has been slow lately. Why is that?

[urban grove]

Because they're volunteers, so if they have some free time maybe they will approve some plugins. Again you just have to wait

[thorny arrow]

This is how i make stairs 😅

Too bad 😓

[rich birch]

@thorny arrow
Yo! Try this

[thorny arrow]

That cool. Ok i'll try that 👍

[uncut acorn]

Insane stuff 😳

[uncut acorn]

Diagonal stairs... Interesting
That is quite good

[vernal dragon]

All not corner buildings

[lilac shuttle]

Ok

[urban grove]

I thought they were buses but nope

[urban grove]

This month it will come out?

[vernal dragon]

Don't know. Depends on the moderators of the store. I have already posted a plugin in my DS

[dreamy hearth]

Looks better

Next thing you can add are shadows

[lilac shuttle]

Ok

Where

[dreamy hearth]

Oh wait did u add shadows?

[lilac shuttle]

Think I did

[dreamy hearth]

Try adding noise to the whole building

[lilac shuttle]

I will soon

[calm sedge]

E

[dreamy hearth]

[paper river]

Looks cool

[dreamy hearth]

I REFUSE to put the department of Finance sign

[lilac shuttle]

Idk I just remember these bk in the days

this is the old Department of Finance building in Manila, Philippines

the new one subjectively speaking is eh...

[lilac shuttle]

Nice

[lilac shuttle]

Where the door top part of the building

[dreamy hearth]

I did my research, it's hidden from that angle

[spiral glacier]

Nah but How do you Make a plugin?

[rain gate]

check the pins

[lilac shuttle]

Ok

[lilac shuttle]

It come too what you want to make first

[spiral glacier]

Hmm sure I'll think one later

Nvm

[dreamy hearth]

the simple answer is, create a building(for apps u can do that on, check pins), code it(again, check pins for apps), test it on your own tt game, and then publish

afterwards, pray it'll get approved

don't be like Ultraneon tho where he stole a whole vanilla building and called it SM

[spiral glacier]

Computer Or mobile?

[dreamy hearth]

u can do it on either

I tend to do it on pc cuz of notepad

[spiral glacier]

You mean Mobile?

[dreamy hearth]

u can do it on computer and u can also do it on mobile

[spiral glacier]

Oooo

Never Knew lol

[dreamy hearth]

@spiral glacier here's some apps u can use

[spiral glacier]

By the way I can't find A app That Can Make A Building

[spiral glacier]

Thanks

[dreamy hearth]

yw

[spiral glacier]

Ima use Pixly Since it's only available For me

[dreamy hearth]

Take note that newer phones no longer support it cuz of a change in google's policy

[left gale]

Im using Pixly and anWriter free, since my first plugin

[dreamy hearth]

I use paint.net and notepad

I used JSON editor back in 2018 to modify plugins back then for private use

[left gale]

Cool, the same year my first plug was released!!!

[dreamy hearth]

Noice

I wanted to release my own plugin back then but I simply didn't know how to design buildings back then

[left gale]

I don't like bldgs anymore lol

[dreamy hearth]

Lol I see

[left gale]

Pls approved my plugin 😦 It's a pleasure to build that thing 🚦

[dreamy hearth]

Traffic lights yes?

[oblique tundra]

For me it's a cute diagonal staircase

[crimson basin]

wip

probably will change the green colour later after i do the glass

[misty pawn]

Tiny improvements also should I add loaded frames if yes then Wich you want (coal/dirt/stones etc ..) or all?¿ Even tho it's kinda a waste of space

Doing improvements for my old plugin that I made a few years ago

Originally created last 2021, then updated in plugin store since before 2023

What'd you think?

This is the current update of the plugin

Pfind-plugin #4142

[agile forum]

SM CDO Downtown Premier

**Description**

5th Update:

• replace palm trees into in-game trees (Credits to Lobby for trees)
• grass update

SM CDO Downtown Premier was the second mall constructed in Cagayan De Oro, Philippines.
The design was so amazing, and the building looks great.

I decided to make this for the better future because people liked it.

This plugin is commercial.

This plugin is created by yours truly.
Hope you like it!

Another note, I'm a Filipino.

If you have problems about this plugin update, pls tell me in the comments so I will fix it so much, ok?

[slender briar]

gradient tool probably

[lilac shuttle]

On my it that you kekman

Or someone else

[rain gate]

I'm just looking for the right color

[uncut acorn]

Woah nice

[lilac shuttle]

Not what I meant

Wish I could get my plugin to look like that without been so bright

[rain gate]

Thanks

[static pollen]

Started to make that building in England

Nvm I will not

[slender briar]

comes into place

[rain gate]

Nice roof

[misty pawn]

Noice

[slender briar]

tanks

not my first rodeo jejeje

[slender briar]

done

wait

now

small lil sprite drop

maybe ill code it

maybe

worst case ill donate it

[neat lance]

Damn
So detailed

Neat

[slender briar]

trademark kekman work

i aint dead yet

[empty night]

Ey that looks really good!

[slender briar]

tanks uuu

a small project in a small free time window

[urban grove]

Amazing, what's this tower from?

Also i don't recommend posting a png image/clean image. Someone could potentially steal it (like somebody did steal Rockfort plugins/works)

Best way to prevent this is to add a watermark

[slender briar]

o people can steal it

[urban grove]

Okay if that's what you want wanted

[slender briar]

i made this , people can steal my small stuff lol

[urban grove]

It's been a long time, but it's good to have your back!

[slender briar]

do we know each other?

[urban grove]

"Small stuff"?

[slender briar]

its a 1x1

made in an hour

its more of an exercise than a plugin tbh

[urban grove]

An hour? Bro speedrunning

[slender briar]

yea 1x1 are nottin

plus ill probably never code it cuz i hate coding so if someone steals and uses it at least its been used

[urban grove]

True but that's still technically stealing. (If they didn't credit you)

[slender briar]

yea but i guess my style is distinct enough so it wont stay stolen long even if it does get stolen

plus its like 20x upscaled so stealin means resizin it without blurring ,doable but for someone who dont know how its too much work to steal it

[crimson basin]

gosh your style is amazingi love it <3

what do you mean by coding? arent jsons simple enough using pca?

[slender briar]

still too much coding for me

plus its 3 am

[crimson basin]

i could do it for you in the morning if youd likr?

just send me what youd like the building to have/be in dms :>

[slender briar]

ill try to do it tomorro and if im too lazy ill donate it to you ,so u can post it on your own account

till den ill go sleep

[crimson basin]

no, i dont want it :>
but ill do the json for you if you dont want

[lilac shuttle]

So that real kekman

It been long time bro how you been

[neat lance]

Rockfort steal somethign?!?

[urban grove]

No somebody stole RockFort plugins

[rain gate]

Loot Boxes and AE Logo : ^ )

just for a little plugin I'm making rn

It's a joke plugin

[echo prairie]

@rich birch I'm not sure if that's possible because if I remember correctly you can't create anything from other games because of copyright issues

[rich birch]

That's from Florida 🙄

[orchid sorrel]

it should be fine if you just use it as inspiration only, I'd recommend taking a look at their policy though

[uncut acorn]

Mmmm yes I agree

@orchid sorrel I wanted to delete this plugin because it stands copyright infringement

[orchid sorrel]

then go ahead?

[uncut acorn]

You want me to delete or keep?

[orchid sorrel]

I'm not sure what is their policy on that

[uncut acorn]

I guess copyright infringement is a violation that is also being upheld at the plugin store rules

Maybe I should delete it

What?

I was supposed to delete the plugin and now this happened

[orchid sorrel]

theotown servers moment

[rain gate]

My golly what happened

[crimson basin]

forum server went boom on lsc

[dim thorn]

I can't wait for the newest plugin

[uncut acorn]

Took a while though, my new plugins will be pending approval until 2 weeks 💀

Btw the forum server went fixed on me so the plugin Quantum Skyscraper is now deleted

[dim thorn]

I'm three weeks

[uncut acorn]

Yeouch

That's too far to wait

[dim thorn]

Looks like after I graduate it will show up in stores

[uncut acorn]

Wow same

[rain gate]

If that happened to me I would have just quit theotown on the spot😭😫😭😫😫😭

[crimson basin]

just a question but do you keep reposting/editing it or anything?

[languid burrow]

@uncut acorn When are you going to make the Araneta Center Bus Terminal?

[rain gate]

There's a plugin pack that saves you like some diamonds

it's the San Francisco bay area pack?

You get the Bank of America Center for free
Coit Memorial Tower
And the San Francisco City Hall

And you get a very cool bridge decoration (Golden Gate Bridge)

So at the end of the day get the SFBA pack and don't waste your diamonds.

[dim thorn]

I didn't change it

Wutehel

[crimson basin]

hmm :>

[rich birch]

This one looks so great :0

[crimson basin]

wowww

[dim thorn]

But overtextured

[uncut acorn]

Honestly I didn't plan to make this one but idk if I can

[rain gate]

Wait I forgot

TW: BLOOD

if you don't like it don't look at it

[rich birch]

I will stole it >:>

Bwahaha

[slender briar]

if anything undertextured

[dreamy hearth]

Word of advice, don't send the sprite, just send a screenshot of it instead

Imma just go delete this to prevent people from stealing it

[uncut acorn]

👍

[rain gate]

Trigger Warning

Trigger
Warning

[rich birch]

I thought it was flower

[urban grove]

Are those dead bodies? Umm nah that's definitely ketchup, silly people spilling ketchup

[rain gate]

its neither

its water with food coloring in it, the people around it are cooking

[dreamy hearth]

Lmao

[slender briar]

god as stealing gotten so bad here?

[wanton prism]

They are making a tiktok! They are so silly!

[crimson basin]

yes

leaf had a few of his stuff stolen

[urban grove]

Yes, it's really sad to see :(

[dreamy hearth]

Yeah, a lot of plugins are being pirated, it's depressing especially since a lot of them are meant to be private

[echo prairie]

amnog us

[rain gate]

Uh sorry about that.... And sorry about talking about that other thing

I just went asleep

And I didn't know I was doing something bad

[calm sedge]

Is there a plug-in for these?

[rain gate]

I don't know?

I'm not looking all over for it in showcase and I'm definitely not going to check if it's in the plugin store

You can make it in theotown?

You can use this
https://pca.theotown.com/

If you want I can make some sprites for you

[lilac shuttle]

Do you still have your discord

[crimson basin]

closest thing i can think of: complex industry
#builder-content

[dreamy hearth]

ah nonono u didn't break any rules, I just wanted to make sure nobody steals your plugin

[rain gate]

I mean if I post something like a sprite here

It's free use

Idc

[dreamy hearth]

oh...

mb

[dreamy hearth]

Isometric triangles amiryt?

[uncut acorn]

Not bad

[rich birch]

Don't you have it?

[urban grove]

I think he meant like when will AOS come back and add new things. Since the plugin is still not finished, so far nothing is added or the team mentions of bringing it back.

[rich birch]

I see

[uncut acorn]

Yes yoaryt.

[dusk pine]

What's the best Japanese building plugins? (Downtown Tokyo themed)

[hot crane]

Guys, can you tell me what plugins are shown in this picture?

[rain gate]

I think that's vönark's nature pack

[urban grove]

Could you at least highlight it?

There's like 15 different plugins

But it seems it is mostly Amsterdam pack by arangasit and Vönark plugins

[urban grove]

@hot crane

(Amsterdam pack is on the forum)

[hot crane]

I need the plugin names of these residential buildings

Amsterdam pack

[urban grove]

I already gave you an answer

[hot crane]

Thank you!

[lilac shuttle]

Hmm

[dim thorn]

Beautiful

[rich birch]

So beautiful

[urban grove]

Woah

[red lintel]

Gotdayum, gorgeous

[lilac shuttle]

How do everyone here able to make plugin look like that

It like paint

I must be using wrong style of color

I need help

[orchid sorrel]

with what

[lilac shuttle]

Everything I still can’t get that detail with my plugin

[orchid sorrel]

it's all about practice

[lilac shuttle]

I must doing it wrong with color

[orchid sorrel]

maybe

refer to the world texture to see how buildings look

[lilac shuttle]

Hmm

[ripe orchid]

Does exist Ferrari factory plugin in Theotown?

[dreamy hearth]

No, and I don't think it should cuz of copyright

[keen swallow]

Which is better? (the base format is different)

[dreamy hearth]

What was the base format?

[keen swallow]

There's a difference between the base of Left or Right

Left is kinda 2-3-2 pixels, while right is 2-2-2-1 pixels

[dreamy hearth]

Left is better

[crimson basin]

depends

[summer kestrel]

A phone could be as strongly performable as a Nokia or as poorly as an iPhone 14

[runic reef]

androids have more performance than iphone when it comes to theotown so it depends

what phone brand/type you have

i’ve never had a galaxy so i can’t tell you

[warm spruce]

thats why the game is dying

[stoic palm]

Yes yes

1984

Go on now

Shoo

🧹

[warm spruce]

ur parents must be proud

[thin wraith]

ok man

[stoic palm]

That's the idea

[uncut acorn]

Waiting for my plugin to be approved :3

[urban grove]

Omg you said the thing

[rain gate]

no way insane

mom get the camera

[static pollen]

Hongqi H9 and Hongqi E-HS9

Vanilla scale btw

[uncut acorn]

Yeah he literally said it again

[brittle frost]

How do I add influences to my plugin?

Like this

[uncut acorn]

"influence park": 20 (your value)

[brittle frost]

Ok thank you

[low loom]

Awesome

[dreamy hearth]

I'd like to think of this current era as more like the great depression

The game will bounce back eventually

Well at least I want it to

[stoic palm]

I think if you look at the stats it's stupid to try and claim the game is dying

[paper river]

🍩

[uncut acorn]

You're making a town plugin

[dreamy hearth]

||I think the man's referring to the supposed slow process of plugin approvals||

[stoic palm]

A slow process and a dying game aren't equal haha

[dreamy hearth]

True lmao

Speaking of which, I had always been interested on becoming a plugin mod but never really knew where or how

[stoic palm]

Just talk to JA

[dreamy hearth]

Oh through forums or here?

[stoic palm]

I think he's more likely to see a discord DM

[urban grove]

What about the community of this game? It has changed alot especially in 2022

[stoic palm]

Communites change that's a give

what's your point?

[urban grove]

The game is growing yes
The community is kinda falling, idk there's just something about this community. Also the game hasn't added any major features, ik there's only like 2 developers but surely it's almost finished? (I'm talking about the transportation update) give us a little sneak peek JA or Lobby. Communicate with your players what the status of the update is?

[stoic palm]

That is fair enough, and I would be lying if I said I myself knew anything about that update. I do feel like based on the converations I have had with JA, it's not a matter of just being able to add new stuff... it is an enitre rewrite of the game. I do agree that there does need to either be more teasers or some dev blogs, or something. But at the same time I do understand why it takes so long

[urban grove]

I just want a little sneak peeks that's all

[stoic palm]

I get where you are coming from

I mean

Ol' #spoilers is getting dusty

[sharp kettle]

ya

[urban grove]

I saw that you left the server?

[dreamy hearth]

@crude crater leaf's server

and it's smth similar not the actual one

[crude crater]

Oh I am in there

[sharp kettle]

yes?

[urban grove]

Why did you leave the server? You know what nevermind forget what i said

[sharp kettle]

k?

[kindred tide]

No sorry

[lapis moat]

That would probably be fairly complicated to replicate anyway

[crude crater]

I can't seem to find such midrise comercial in leafs server

[lapis moat]

You'd have to make theotown 3D

[dreamy hearth]

I thought you were talking about the factories

[crude crater]

Got the factories it's just the midrise comercial I want for my city

[paper river]

Cool

[dreamy hearth]

Gonna need the high rises there for my city

[sharp kettle]

looks.. uh.. a.. plain on the colors

missing textures on walls

and this-

[echo prairie]

Nope)

He always asks for email or smth

[crimson basin]

yep he prefers email far as i know

Im gonna try something new with this plugin

Add height on helicopter radius @crimson basin

[crimson basin]

i dont really know since i dont use those

i generally just make buildings

[mortal tapir]

Ok thanks for the help

[crimson basin]

maybe you dont need height?

why are you trying to add height

if anything i think x and y would be more aproppriate there

[orchid sorrel]

why would you want to add x, y, or height to a helicopter spawner

that's just incorrect

[crimson basin]

lmao, sorry xD

[orchid sorrel]

you're also missing brackets in your frames definition

and there's a typo in one of your attributes

and I'd recommend using some more descriptive ids too

[mortal tapir]

Ok @orchid sorrel

[crimson basin]

hello kulche, i see you have awoken :>

[orchid sorrel]

like 5h ago maybe?

yes

[mortal tapir]

Mmm wait please really need help with this

[crimson basin]

you do what kulche said

[mortal tapir]

@orchid sorrel Sorry if I'm bothering but in which attribute

[orchid sorrel]

draw ground

[crimson basin]

kulche do you like my night club? 🥺

my glass texture is still not that good tho 😭

[orchid sorrel]

not a lot to look at

I like the billboard thing though

[crimson basin]

ill make flashy lights when im done

[crimson basin]

yeah am not done yet <3

the blue would light up

the borders

[crimson basin]

and the windows

and the sign

im excited :]

for once i cant wait to do the json

[mortal tapir]

@orchid sorrel

[orchid sorrel]

there is no such thing as count x or count y

also, there is no need for count ifyou're going to set it to 1

[mortal tapir]

On animation @orchid sorrel

[orchid sorrel]

you don't have those attributes anywhere else

also, stop the ping spam

I'm, like, right here

[mortal tapir]

I'm sorry and thanks Sorry if I've bothered you

[floral oxide]

Hi guys

Is there any plugin which adds lights to the buildings which are already available in the game?

[urban grove]

Nope

[floral oxide]

Damn

[small trench]

second building from yokoyama chinatown

still wip

[crimson basin]

its not broken

most likely doesnt support diagonal like that

turn of auto join roads

try it with auto join roads off

[livid agate]

An email is a better option since I can address it to the required people more easily. Moreover, I read them when I feel productive, unlike on Discord where I might even forget.

[stoic palm]

Nah brute force harrasment is clearly the best

spam pinging ftw

[crimson basin]

reply pings to me with evans tag xD

[rain gate]

yez

[crimson basin]

hope it looks better now btw?

[stoic palm]

Jokes aside for future reference, do you recommend [e-mail] email or a different one?

[livid agate]

info is a general email address, if you want to reach me specifically - [e-mail] and [e-mail] respectively

[stoic palm]

That's what I figured, I just didn't want to leak your email address if you didn't want people bugging you there xD

[crimson basin]

pretty sure hes done that himself a few times

[livid agate]

I don't see a problem in me sharing that email address

[stoic palm]

a warehouse

Did you ever look for it on your own

Because it's the first result for warehouse

[rain gate]

plugins pls

[tidal trench]

How do you like my port from the megapolis game?

[keen swallow]

What I'm doing wrong that the Night Frames doesn't activate in game?

[crimson basin]

do you have these?

[keen swallow]

nope

even adding this lights don't turn on

[lilac shuttle]

Hey anyone here

Is the exact forum on how to make the plugin look nice like more detail

Pls

[crimson basin]

can you show thw whole json

remember that the night animation has to be defined first

and then later added with its id under "frames"

[keen swallow]

yeah i solved it

but ended in conclusion that night animation only works properly In fences that are split

explaining better, each direction should be one PNG, one array and one different animation

if not it ends up like this;

[lilac shuttle]

Guess not

[oblique tundra]

Yes search for Naufhal puglins

[paper river]

Finished

[urban grove]

Cool

[rich birch]

So beautiful

It's by brianputra

[dim thorn]

We can use 3 Lane traffic lights?

[keen swallow]

what's the plugin for that one lane traffic light?????

[left gale]

You mean, two-way traffic lights? Yes

[left gale]

Not yet, but I'm looking for it

[dim thorn]

Remove the pole it's already 3 Lane XD

[left gale]

It's under development, I will update Traffic Lights to include that

I'm working for two-way traffic lights, it's code is a little tricky. Though your single light for 3-lanes are pretty easy

[uncut acorn]

The newer plugins have been released, but why not mine?

[left gale]

The same question I'm asking rn

[uncut acorn]

So lemme guess... You're uploading the traffic light plugin in plugin store?

[left gale]

Yep

[uncut acorn]

Geez

I just update one plugin and upload one plugin
And took me days to wait

[left gale]

Akin inabot na isang linggo

[uncut acorn]

Talaga?? Wow

[left gale]

Keep calm

and rant

[uncut acorn]

Ok

[thorny arrow]

👀

[thorny arrow]

Beautiful

[crimson basin]

blak

[orchid scroll]

Is this one of the buildings for your project

[thorny arrow]

Yeah

[orchid scroll]

Cool

[rain gate]

I thought they were Starbucks at first 💀

or Los pollos hermanos

[glad lynx]

LOS POLLOS!

nice

[urban grove]

You've made so many buildings yet you mostly haven't released them. Ik they may be unfinished but you seem to always make a new one every time. Are you making a pack or something?

[sage socket]

it looks like this

[thorny arrow]

No just because i'm being lazy at that time or i lost it

[thorny arrow]

7x7

☠️

[oak sand]

Bagger 228 as a plug-in ??

[urban grove]

That huge thing?

[oak sand]

Multiple building placed in formation

[rain gate]

someone already made it

Look up "mining"

[oak sand]

No. That’s the alpha mining plugin I know what you’re talking about. The one in that mod is like half the size

Oh nvrm mind

[urban grove]

Oh you just want the bigger version?

[rain gate]

I think if u make it any bigger its gonna be like half the size of a skyscraper lmao

[misty pawn]

Already tried making something similar it won't be released anytime soon but yeah someday

[urban grove]

I mean those machines are pretty big (irl)

[misty pawn]

They really are

😂

[rain gate]

yeah but i think in theotown scale might be strange

[urban grove]

An update coming? Nice

[misty pawn]

A random ss

[urban grove]

Insane level of details, this should be added into the game (vanilla)

[orchid sorrel]

and eat a whole sheet of texture space lol

[misty pawn]

Feels lacking I thought

[misty pawn]

That too

😂

[orchid sorrel]

it looks great already but it needs some material texture

[urban grove]

Is there a way to optimize it?

[orchid sorrel]

you could slice it up into separate animations

but that's still very large

[misty pawn]

It's already on pieces but have no idea how

[orchid sorrel]

for your reference, "pieces" does not mean layers

it means literal rectangle chunks of your png that contain as little empty space as possible

[misty pawn]

Arm / head/ base /tracks

I made them separately

[orchid sorrel]

that's exactly what I'm talking about

and that's going to make it worse

if you were to implement that using animations in such a way

[misty pawn]

Well keep simple just one big piece and that's it ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[oak sand]

:{

[crimson basin]

i think

i should

actually finish making plugins

instead of starting more

[lilac shuttle]

Hmm

[crimson basin]

the phone is the culprit

i have about 6-7 in wip and a few more too i think

[lilac shuttle]

Can someone tell me pls

Is there video or forum topics on how to make your plugin more detail with color

[crimson basin]

more detail with colour...?

[orchid sorrel]

you don't have to ask this 354893463 times

[crimson basin]

if you need examples, you study vanilla buildings or kulches buildings

[orchid sorrel]

also, why not search yourself

[lilac shuttle]

I have honestly

[orchid sorrel]

I haven't seen any actually

colors is not really something you can learn with just a text tutorial

[crimson basin]

kulche does it seem like a good idea to split my json into several jsons to sort it?

[lilac shuttle]

Ok

[crimson basin]

specifically the one with 1000 lines

like one for countries, one for colours etc?

[lilac shuttle]

Hmm

[orchid sorrel]

jesus why do you have a 1k line json

also, yes, you can

[crimson basin]

because animations for buildings, it has like almost 40-50 buildings now?

each building has 15 animations

i think

no wait 13 animations
