[midnight obsidian]

perhaps

[haughty anvil]

Mud road looks very good

Why do you delete that

[lunar snow]

During my absent, I have made some plugins

one of them is this

it will be on the plugin store in September of 2023

[haughty anvil]

Wow

Really nice

Its happy to see you again

They are commercial ?

[lunar snow]

I wont probably make more plugins until next year

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lunar snow]

Residential probably

[haughty anvil]

Oh sad to hear that

[lunar snow]

kinda

ye

[haughty anvil]

Okay i asked because zones are blue

[lunar snow]

ah it's just the blueprint

[sharp kettle]

because no.

[crimson basin]

please respect his choice. he already told you once it was because of personal reasons, no need to ask him again

unless youre not talking to chipper?

[sharp kettle]

(on a side note, i was just testing things)

[sharp kettle]

its a plugin png i sent, was just testing

[stoic palm]

@rain gate is your last message in #plugin-suggestions the same as you first? Or different stuff?

[haughty anvil]

I was talking about photo 🤦‍♂️

He deleted the photo

[stoic palm]

All good! I was gonna delete it for ya

Just wanted to make sure before I deleted a different suggestion

[haughty anvil]

I think we are done with that thing, i am respecting his choice

[sharp kettle]

contributor to the game if im correct

[crimson basin]

ah alright.

[stoic palm]

Yeah Chipper is correct

[sharp kettle]

lets goo, did i win anything??

[stoic palm]

Best I can do is offer you the nuked role

[sharp kettle]

nah, i think im good

[haughty anvil]

I thought its given to expert city builders lol

[stoic palm]

Your pfp technically violates this servers rules... you need to change it if you want to stay here

[haughty anvil]

Bruh

Really wtf is that pfp

[misty pawn]

Interesting I must say

Well.... staying on topic here is some stuff 👀

[haughty anvil]

just WOW!

sorry for caps btw

Probably its gonna be one of most downloaded plugins if you are planning to release it

[misty pawn]

Of course

But I'm way too slow making them

Don't expect it anytime soon

[haughty anvil]

how long have you been doing this

[haughty anvil]

Bro has same pfp still

[stoic palm]

he'll be given 24 hours

If it's still the same in the morning then he'll be jailed for the last few hours

[haughty anvil]

Okay

[crimson basin]

there we go xD

[stoic palm]

English is hard

[echo prairie]

lmao i didn't even notice that

[misty pawn]

Including tractors probably 2 months maybe more

[crimson basin]

i noticed it immediately, saw evan typing s was waying to see if he was gonna correct it

[haughty anvil]

Yeah i didnt notice it too but after mayor said that i noticed

[misty pawn]

Who would even make such😂

[fresh urchin]

Pemex Tower, 3/100% progress

[haughty anvil]

Good

[torn lynx]

Still not changed it lol

[haughty anvil]

He has 20 hours

Tbh he looks like a troll i hope he doesnt change that

And get punishment from mayor

[keen swallow]

All as now on my Medium Lines plugin (right) versus originally release (left)

[dapper sun]

Omaga cdmx

[fresh urchin]

yes

[fresh urchin]

Help not draw windows :'v

[mortal tapir]

Military Artillery Rocket

Enjoy it free no copyright

[sage grail]

Cool

[haughty anvil]

Looks very good

Maybe you can add garden to center

[sinful meadow]

Wth is wrong on it

I feel I lost all my art in my body 🥴

[left gale]

wala na yatang blueflower

[sinful meadow]

Ganun

[dreamy hearth]

It's not that bad tho

Prolly just needs animation to make it glow or smth

[sinful meadow]

I'm still uncomfortable

[left gale]

you can actually make it as 1x1 tile

[sinful meadow]

Yah

[left gale]

Ganda ng letra, gusto ko hiramin HAHAHAHA

#language-bar

[sharp kettle]

@rain gate You have to be patience mate.

you dont need to mention your post again

[sharp kettle]

also, please delete this message on #plugin-suggestions

the " . " one

thank you for cooperating👍

[orchid scroll]

Bro is moderating

[sharp kettle]

no cap, i was a officer

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[haughty anvil]

Yeah, you added some trees lookd nice

[orchid sorrel]

the roof is pretty bland ngl

is that based on some kind of a real life building?

the wall pattern is interesting though

[haughty anvil]

Looks pretty nice to me

[orchid sorrel]

yeah i'd modify the roof then

[sinful meadow]

😭

Ugly

[dim thorn]

Spoiler

[urban grove]

It's way too bright in my opinion

[orchid sorrel]

looks nicer now

maybe give it some texture

[sullen apex]

Does anyone have suggestions for train station plugins? I have railroad expansion but the stations aren't really what I'm looking for

[orchid sorrel]

the roof only has noise for now

looks like plain concrete

your choice

[urban grove]

Will you add chimneys?

[sharp kettle]

uh... nice

[urban grove]

Much better! I like it

[lavish hinge]

cute

[haughty anvil]

Lovely

[dreamy hearth]

Sounds fancy, I like it

[dim thorn]

If this the fence will look cool

[sharp kettle]

it will be

but not all buildings are like close to the sides so..

im not sure

[rain gate]

Hey guys if anyone can make a plugin related to Soviet buildings

That would be helpful

[rain gate]

theres plenty already

[sharp kettle]

just post your suggestion in #plugin-suggestions

[rain gate]

Yeah I'm just trying to find one related to Stalingrad

[sharp kettle]

^^

[sharp kettle]

i wanted to make a ww2 plugin mega pack that'll take months to make

[dim thorn]

Modular building:

[sharp kettle]

i dont use modular building

[midnight obsidian]

driving tank animation when

[sharp kettle]

i draw my own building 🌚

[midnight obsidian]

what if it could shoot at neighboring regions and take them over

[sharp kettle]

i think ive seen uh.. pickle man in dsa with controllers?

[sharp kettle]

when i get

[mortal tapir]

Someone can explain this code
if (beingattacked) {
attackBack(1);
}

[crimson basin]

is that lua for a plugin?

[mortal tapir]

What you mean with lua

[mortal tapir]

And how to put it on the plugins

[sharp kettle]

what...

this isnt some roblox battlefield 4 simulator, where did you even find that code

[crimson basin]

thats what im trynna figure out

[crimson basin]

what are you trying to do?

[mortal tapir]

Like the bear soldier attack pickles

[sharp kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/what-why-huh-steve-harvey-confused-gif-17449734

thats.. not how plugins word

[crimson basin]

we need a little kulche magic here

[rain gate]

lmao

[mortal tapir]

Maybe I need improve that

[crimson basin]

perhaps make a simpler plugin before trying to use code you found from (where?)

[mortal tapir]

The simple plugin are made

Only want improve it to another level

[sharp kettle]

yeah.. it does not work like that

yeah.. it does not work like that x2

its a city building game

[crimson basin]

you cant do that

also where the heck did you get the code from

[orchid sorrel]

that's literally c pseudocode lol

you're clueless bunny

[crimson basin]

im asking where he got it from 🥺

cause i know it doesnt look like lua or json

[orchid sorrel]

you could smash it together in seconds, it's literally random words mashed together

the syntax looks like c#, I guess it could be other c languages but I'm not familiar with that

[mortal tapir]

It's lua

[orchid sorrel]

it's not

please don't start

[mortal tapir]

Ok I'm sorry

It doesn't work

[orchid sorrel]

who would've thought

[mortal tapir]

Yeah you are right

[mortal tapir]

How I can find the rocket launcher code

[orchid sorrel]

you can't, it's hardcoded

it's also premium content

unless you're looking for json only

[mortal tapir]

JSON only

[orchid sorrel]

try this

    "id":"$mltry_rocketlauncher00",
    "type":"military",
    "width":2,
    "height":2,
    "frames":[{"x":0,"y":0,"w":64,"h":64,"count":4,"offset y":3072}],
    "rotation aware":true,
    "needs road":false,
    "requirement":{
      "requirements":
      [
        {"type":"FEATURE", "data":{"id":"$feature_military00"}},
        {"type":"BUILDING", "data":{"id":"$mltry_hq00"}},
        {"type":"BUILDING", "data":{"id":"$mltry_baracks00"}}
      ]
    },
    "influence noise":8,
    "price":180000,
    "monthly price":1000
  }```

[mortal tapir]

Don't have the shoot code

[orchid sorrel]

yeah that's the point, it's hardcoded

[mortal tapir]

Yeah it's very hardcoded

Thanks for your support

[oblique tundra]

So you are back?

[midnight obsidian]

looks similar to c++, but c# i bet is also similar

but the code seems nonsensical and would most likely error

the condition for the if statement is incomplete

for the attackBack(1) thing i'd need some context

because attackBack(x) could be a separate function

it'd make more sense if it was

if (beingattacked == true) {
    attackBack(1);
}

but this is just a snippet of code and i'd require a lot more context

but assuming that beingattacked is a boolean value, then this should work

however once again, this is just a snippet of what otherwise would be full code, so this by itself wouldn't work

[livid agate]

not compliant with c# guidelines

[midnight obsidian]

disclaimer: c++

[livid agate]

not compliant with c++ 27

[midnight obsidian]

What part exactly isn't compliant

[livid agate]

just look up the standard man

[midnight obsidian]

What lies are you peddling

[livid agate]

it's a c++ standard released in 2027

[midnight obsidian]

Ah yes of course i forgot to use my time machine

[rich birch]

Finally 🙂

[haughty anvil]

Also this park looks very nice

[rich birch]

Yes, now they are no longer illegal plugins

I'm so relieved now

[haughty anvil]

Are they illegal plugins before ?

[rich birch]

Using this build as a plugin was previously prohibited

Evan will jail me if I use it

[haughty anvil]

Why ?

[rich birch]

Idk

Using unreleased content is forbidden

[haughty anvil]

Oh okay

[stoic palm]

Oh believe me if it were my call you wouldn't have received that last chance email

[rich birch]

😶

[stoic palm]

But yes. Congratulations on your new toys

[rich birch]

Haha thx

I love those toys

[stoic palm]

Can't wait to see how you add them to your builds

[rich birch]

🙂👍🏼

[mortal tapir]

Someone have the convoy code

I mean JSON

[strange cloud]

Find car tail tutorial on forum.

[rain gate]

Is this good?

[strange cloud]

The table needs some shading.

[rain gate]

What shade

Ok

[crimson basin]

add a shadow to the table

also your ground shadow is wrong as well as the one falling from the smaller one

for the smaller one you just need to make the most bottom line 3 pixels longer

[keen swallow]

Cash? Instead of diamonds?

[urban grove]

There are plugin that changed the diamonds (icon)

[fresh urchin]

The hardest sign I've ever made

[sharp kettle]

Uh.. space out the letters if you can

[strange cloud]

A tip from me:

[fresh urchin]

True, looks very close together

[fresh urchin]

thanks

[mortal tapir]

Thanks

[rain gate]

Awards

[fresh urchin]

That's better?

[lavish hinge]

this ones better but the x is still a bit off

[orchid sorrel]

please make the text actually visible 😩

[languid burrow]

When will the Araneta Center Bus Station created?

[urban grove]

You could suggest it in #suggestions

[fresh urchin]

I guess you can see

[orchid sorrel]

a bit better maybe

[haughty anvil]

Very good

Very accurate

Np, i think just needs more things on roof otherwise it looks nice

[crimson basin]

personally i think that shadow is too long. shadows are proportional to the height of the building

[unique pivot]

yeah that shadow needs to be changed

[unique pivot]

better late than never

[unique pivot]

posted

[orchid sorrel]

yes the shadows are indeed too long

as bunny said, wall height and shadow length in pixels are directly proportional

[warm spruce]

too small, looks like a toy

[haughty anvil]

Looks nice to me

Wow

[urban grove]

Looks really nice, is it a placeable thing or a decal? Also are you back on making plugins?

Both versions look good but v2 is better (in my opinion)

[haughty anvil]

Yea

V1 looks like snow i think

[sharp kettle]

im afraid this wouldnt look good ingame.. bout to scrap the whole thing if it does not meet my expectation

[haughty anvil]

Why

It looks nice

[static pollen]

Keep both

[sharp kettle]

noted, exterminate both out of existance

[mortal tapir]

The reply is too late but the pickle are robotic with controller

[unique pivot]

v2 is better as actual blending

v1 is not dense enough

IMO at least

waiting

[sharp kettle]

v1 is not dense enough?

[unique pivot]

yes I think so

well im not sure but I think it should have a bit more sand

[oblique tundra]

Exactly what I do 👏

I like this better

[crimson basin]

Personally like this one more, seems like it will blend more with other terrain

[sharp kettle]

gonna try it in-game soon, i hope i remember how to make a json

also gonna have to download vsc

https://tenor.com/view/gta-gta-sa-grand-theft-auto-grand-theft-auto-san-andreas-gta-one-liners-gif-17458644

[sharp kettle]

might take a long time for me to understand how to use vsc.. ._.

[mortal tapir]

F-18 and F-35 hope you like it

[misty pawn]

All for now

All rotate perfectly except the open seeder

I'll have to add some decals tho

[strange cloud]

Minor texture update.

Who needs this?

[mortal tapir]

Guys I Have a idea but it's only a idea on Theotown build a specific military building and like the Missile silo than have probabilities of meteorite enemy fighters or helicopters from the edge of the region attacks random places like the UFO (it's only a idea)

Tell me what you think

And Theotown is a city building

But is not bad idea (more use for the military in my opinion)

[mortal tapir]

Literally FS23 Amazing work only few people know the hard work behind the pixel art (theotown)

[static pollen]

Improve shadows.

Also awesome work

[left dome]

F-35 needs to be reworked. Looks identical to the 18.

In the W(EC)orks

[uncut acorn]

It’s similar like from the in-game version

[strange cloud]

True,but I'll make more variations as soon as I have the motivation to make changes to that plugin.

[mortal tapir]

Thanks for the comment literally F-35 talking about how to make F-35 Hahaha thanks

[left dome]

You're welcome mate. 😉

[left gale]

I need it, for my wip Railroad Crossing Signals

[dreamy hearth]

omg I didn't notice that I'm close to 100k downloads

[left gale]

🎉

[honest willow]

Hello, can anyone give me some road plugins with sidewalks?

[sharp kettle]

im not sure what you mean.. theres alot of road with sidewalks..

[honest willow]

I mean the road plugins has the sidewalk available without having to build it separately.

[urban grove]

I use decals to make sidewalk so that i can put decorations on top of it.

[mortal tapir]

Krug Anti-aircraft Missile enjoy hope you like it

Free no copyright

[urban grove]

When will you actually upload a plugin?

These military vehicles are kinda nice why not upload them? (Forum or plugin Store)

[mortal tapir]

Thanks but don't have theotown plugins account

If someone want upload it

Thanks really appreciate that

[rain gate]

Why is my plugin not working

I already made the plugin and tried to play on my city but it doesnt show up

And thers also like a problem at the start

[orchid sorrel]

how is one supposed to help

you didn't post the plugin file, or anything at all

[rain gate]

Wdym

I watched a tutorial on youtube on how to make a plugin and how to publish it

[orchid sorrel]

"my plugin is not working" what is anyone supposed to do with this information

send your plugin files if you want anyone to investigate the issue

[orchid sorrel]

yeah feel free to ping me when you have your json.

[orchid sorrel]

I need the json only

[rain gate]

Code.json?

[orchid sorrel]

I don't know how did you name the file....

[rain gate]

Nah just forget it

[livid agate]

underscore files are not loaded, if I recall correctly

[rain gate]

Imma just find a plugin similar to mine

[orchid sorrel]

yeah just noticed that too

I'm more of a point man, but underscores do disable plugins as well

[rain gate]

Eh

[dreamy hearth]

I mean isn't that just majority of road plugins...? Or am I just not reading this right

Philippine Roads by Hadestia is still a good choice for that either way

Besides, I would recommend you use decals for pedestrian pathways instead of pedestrian pathway roads because you have more freedom to add decorations

[honest willow]

Thanks 🥹

[left gale]

wanna publish this in forum?

[sharp kettle]

Tanks, my beloved

[midnight obsidian]

i kinda forgot how good this actually looks

haha time to remember how to use animation dev tool!!! 🩸 🗡️

[crimson basin]

Yes i want it :3
Looks adorable

[sharp kettle]

will there be a bloodshed in the process of remembering how to use animation dev tool?

[midnight obsidian]

fortunately not

@signal lagoon would it be possible to add a feature to animation dev tool where you can import animation code into it to display the animation thing

don't you love it when your json is 708 lines long and you're not even done yet

update: it's now 911 lines long

[orchid sorrel]

when the templates are not

[midnight obsidian]

cursed

great news i reduced the length to 910 lines

[orchid sorrel]

remove yourself please

[midnight obsidian]

vsc screaming at me for including comments in json:

https://tenor.com/view/guy-arguing-guy-talking-to-wall-talking-brick-wall-gif-18667615

[orchid sorrel]

he didn't change the default language to json with comments 🤣

[midnight obsidian]

rescue me from this torment

[orchid sorrel]

simply use lua

[midnight obsidian]

animation dev tool is easier to use

actually technically i am using lua

but that'd be the same as me saying that i'm currently using js because discord is built with electron which uses js

1231 line long code

[sharp kettle]

what are you even making

[midnight obsidian]

buildings using animations

[sharp kettle]

will theotown finnaly have a propper War Simulator plugin?

😔

[unique pivot]

mbmp code bigger

so lame

actually

[urban grove]

There was a Swat Team as fences?

[sharp kettle]

uh.. lovely blue red yellow and red

[unique pivot]

are you sure its not mbmp code?

how did you get the source code!!

[sharp kettle]

yes

well not really

[midnight obsidian]

75% of this is for night animations

[sharp kettle]

i was gonna add it before i take it off the store

but the idea was canceled

[unique pivot]

individual windows?

[urban grove]

Cool but why didn't you include it? I'm guessing it wasn't finished or you were planning to add it but you decided to remove it from the plugin store

[sharp kettle]

wasnt finnished

[midnight obsidian]

all of that code just for this

[midnight obsidian]

yep... 😔

[sharp kettle]

random night anim spots?

[midnight obsidian]

yes

[sharp kettle]

looks nice

[unique pivot]

madman

quite based tho

[urban grove]

You included night animation so that it will shut all the people who wants night animation.

[midnight obsidian]

wanna see the day version?

[unique pivot]

imagine doing that without animation tool

looks cool

[midnight obsidian]

stop

[sharp kettle]

small bug but the SAM building NA on the right is off

[midnight obsidian]

you are traumatizing me

[unique pivot]

I want to make a plugin for tiberium from c&c

(partly lua)

[urban grove]

Looks really nice

[orchid sorrel]

good, however if the colorful buildings don't use animations with color attribute I'm going to ban you from the store for wasting plugin space

[sharp kettle]

public execution 🤯

[midnight obsidian]

so you see uhm

erm

uhhh

what if i approve my own plugin 😏

[orchid sorrel]

illegal??

[sharp kettle]

im gucci in the corner making a 3x8 pixel decoration plugin

[orchid sorrel]

I like it

[midnight obsidian]

it's not against the rules technically

[urban grove]

Wait wait you can get banned for wasting plugin space 😱

[midnight obsidian]

i have disapproved several plugins before for wasting plugin space

[sharp kettle]

wait, if plugin space are so limited
can people still make plugin in 2025
dont really get how this "plugin space" works

[orchid sorrel]

yes I will ban everyone who has a plugin bigger than 1x1 (you can use animations with 1 pixel)

[crimson basin]

Id actually do that, one by one. Im doing the bunnybarcade like that, ttial and error, its been a pain

[sharp kettle]

lets goooo, thats what i did since 2020

[midnight obsidian]

kulche i hope you don't mind this 😇

[unique pivot]

actually coloring wouldn't work because of the windows

actually

you can split it in 2 anims

[midnight obsidian]

🤓

[crimson basin]

I actually wanna try making a small plugin house with one pixel and animations

[unique pivot]

the main part without windows (colored) and windows (not colored) overlaid

[crimson basin]

Somedayyy

[unique pivot]

you wont be a true animation master if you dont do this

[midnight obsidian]

i hate the fact that it's possible

[crimson basin]

Im gonna enjoy doing it if i do xD

I use plugins to fulfill my fantasies

[unique pivot]

this reminds me of my plan to make an animation that is just a small (8x8 or 16x16) set of colored pixels, which would be used as a palette for a building in which every pixel is an animation

[sharp kettle]

the true 1x1 baseplate

[unique pivot]

I'd need code to do that

[sharp kettle]

god discord keep freezing

[crimson basin]

Funnn

[unique pivot]

aka draw call mayhem

[crimson basin]

Mhm

[unique pivot]

actually 8x8 is 64 colors

[crimson basin]

Absolutely

[unique pivot]

I can get away with like 4x4

[crimson basin]

Youll be looking at like a 8000 lines of json, maybe more

[unique pivot]

16 colors is enough for most buildings if it doesnt have smooth shadows/shapes and isnt colorful

[unique pivot]

it doesnt matter if I dont type that by hand

[sharp kettle]

plugin space exist
now its time for json space

[crimson basin]

Personally if i were doing smooth shadows, id have a 16 opacity shadow and then stack them using animations

[midnight obsidian]

plugins tier list when

[unique pivot]

I meant like on a cylinder

[crimson basin]

Ive actually been wanting to do it for a long time :)
So maybe soon

Oh

[midnight obsidian]

if it were to happen, then animation dev tool would get an automatic s tier

[unique pivot]

mbmp? flying saucer plugin?

[crimson basin]

Yknow what im on holiday, lemme do that

1 pixel plugin.

With animation

Rtobby will love it

[unique pivot]

I'll need to ask for priveleged code to do this

[crimson basin]

So much plugins saved

[unique pivot]

just make a plugin without an actual frame, and then put the frame as animation

[crimson basin]

That would require an empty pixel though

Ive got to stop

Doing 75% of plugins on my phone

Saving them

And sending them to my pc to finish them

[midnight obsidian]

mbmp gets an s tier as well

[crimson basin]

They never get finished

[midnight obsidian]

obviously all my plugins get an s tier

all simon's plugins get an s tier

[crimson basin]

I support this

[unique pivot]

😎 thank bro

[midnight obsidian]

all `ian's plugins get an s tier

[unique pivot]

I think you can make a plugin without frames

[crimson basin]

And kulches

[midnight obsidian]

at this point this is just a plugin creator tier list

[unique pivot]

unless there's a specific error for that

[unique pivot]

that's actually doable

do it

[crimson basin]

Id rather justtt put a pixel there

[sharp kettle]

where, when

[unique pivot]

thats less cool

[crimson basin]

So purple

[unique pivot]

cuz you see, you added an extra frame for a TRANSPARENT pixel

so wasteful

thats a whole image to load

and process

[midnight obsidian]

now what if the entire community did an all plugins on the plugin store tier list

[crimson basin]

Make a 1x1 building with no shadows

[crimson basin]

too many

[unique pivot]

I think ja just should add author score

so you can vote like on plugins

and then just post a sorted list

done

if you want to you can become a data analyst and split the list into 5 (or how many are there, dont remember, 6?) categories

[midnight obsidian]

serving example

[unique pivot]

good, have rotation frames?

[midnight obsidian]

i will dox you if you say that again

[sharp kettle]

does it have snow frames?

[midnight obsidian]

you too

[dim thorn]

Night frame

[crimson basin]

Does it have

[midnight obsidian]

😇

the real life inspiration for the 3x3 building is actually 12 floors and the 2x2 is actually 9 floors

[sharp kettle]

thats nice, is there a 25th floor version?

oh, add a red blinking night anim in the antena

[midnight obsidian]

oh for goodness sake

too late

[midnight obsidian]

3x3 is only 5, 9, 12, 15 and 18 floors

2x2 is only 3, 5 and 9 floors

[midnight obsidian]

total of 20 buildings; modeled after only 2 though

[sharp kettle]

if theres a hole theres a goal
-theonians driver when they see a gap on the train probably

[left gale]

A non-functional signal lights

Theonian drivers are little dumb

[rain gate]

is that a train i see? proceeds to glitch through the train

[drowsy briar]

Bruh

[sharp kettle]

maybe its that you havent built a middle school/high school🍚

[left gale]

That's a wip 😊

[sharp kettle]

i really dont think the new one looks good.. gonna spend hours trying to fix it..

[orchid sorrel]

I think it should have more of the actual sand

the gradient looks pretty nice

[burnt bramble]

Decals expansion??

👀

[sharp kettle]

atleast the icon looks pretty nice i guess.

im bout to delete discord if it keep freezing..

[crimson basin]

I love it

You plan on keeping that private i assume

[oblique tundra]

Nice I like it now

[sharp kettle]

i hated it..

[oblique tundra]

🤔

[sharp kettle]

god this actually upsets me so much

[sharp kettle]

if this does not look good im scrapping the whole thing

[crimson basin]

You go so hard on yourself chipper

Are you okay?

Like mentally

Going that hard on yourself ptobably isnt good for your mental health 🥺

[sharp kettle]

never was👍

[sharp kettle]

i didnt even touched the json files.. im giving up on this failure plugin..

[orchid sorrel]

you just have a duplicate...

[sharp kettle]

ik, its just so tiring testing this plugin, chaning it again and again

[orchid sorrel]

that's how plugin creation looks like

[sharp kettle]

i accidentally placed a zip inside of another plugin zip..

thats why i cant find the duplicate

[gilded lark]

damn

[sharp kettle]

pain, torture, misery, suffering, agony

[gilded lark]

btw how to make the road in a bad condition btw?

[sharp kettle]

road decor

[gilded lark]

thanks for it

[sharp kettle]

oh gosh darn it

there, somewhat better but still one hell annoying work to do for the diagonal one

[thin wraith]

damn

that looks so good

[sharp kettle]

behind the scene production is a pain and torturing experience 🌚

[gilded lark]

i can't find it the "road deco" lol

[sharp kettle]

its a road decoration plugin

idk the name

[gilded lark]

maybe i'll check it again

not found

[unique pivot]

Nice

[rain gate]

lmao

[burnt bramble]

Alleys 🙂

I will also look into adding diagonal one way roads

[strange cloud]

Icons :)

[gilded current]

oh damnnnn

thats looks awesome

Pertamina office night animation updates

[keen swallow]

how your game's on night mode????

[rain gate]

Anyone know any plugin with a pizzeria?

With nightmode

[strange cloud]

Ah the UI huh?
I forgor how,but it's obviously from a forum plugin.

[urban grove]

It's not even out yet...

[midnight obsidian]

Crap lmao i forgot to put the manifest file in my plugin

[lunar snow]

Ltobby moment

[static pollen]

Should be connected

[sharp kettle]

I am aware

[uncut acorn]

I agree...

[dreamy hearth]

Looks good so far

[empty stratus]

Hey guys, is there any plugin with japanese style house??

[sharp kettle]

yes

[empty stratus]

Where can I find it?

[sharp kettle]

store

forum

[empty stratus]

In game?

[sharp kettle]

yes

[empty stratus]

Okay thank you

[midnight obsidian]

i will report you for harrassment 598 times

[sharp kettle]

The category is there8****

[orchid sorrel]

are you sure it's loaded before it's used

[orchid sorrel]

that doesn't answer my question

[sharp kettle]

i dont understand your question

[orchid sorrel]

I can't make it simpler

does the category draft get loaded before your buildings that are attached to it

[strange cloud]

Better to visualise it.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[orchid sorrel]

??????????

[sharp kettle]

like this??

[orchid sorrel]

a good way to accomplish that is to simply put them all one json and move the category definition to the very top

[orchid sorrel]

you define a category of id $cat_Terrain_Grass0 yet try to use $cat_Terrain_Grass1

[sharp kettle]

made it match

still error

[strange cloud]

[
  {
    "id":"yourcategory.com",
    "type":"category",
    ...
  },
  //loads the category first
  {
    "id":"yourdecal.xyz",
    "type":"ground",
    "category":"yourcategory.com",
    ...
  }
  //then your decals.
]

If your category and decal file is separated into different json,then use certain symbols like # or @ to your category.json for example @examplecategory.json.

[orchid sorrel]

what error

[sharp kettle]

1th

[orchid sorrel]

I'd prefer letters from the alphabet, those characters could have special uses like . or _

[sharp kettle]

10th

[orchid sorrel]

what error

[midnight obsidian]

great news, i've updated that new plugin i uploaded yesterday

[midnight obsidian]

i added a plugin manifest file

[unique pivot]

rtobby can you go through unapproved plugins pls

[sharp kettle]

now i remember one of the reason why i quit making plugins

[midnight obsidian]

idk man

[strange cloud]

Try to copy the text from category id to the decal category value.

[orchid sorrel]

send me the whole plugin file

[orchid sorrel]

that looks like a separate json file

oh jesus christ

put those in a single json 😩

[midnight obsidian]

my dumb ass forgot another thing

[orchid sorrel]

no wonder you have ordering issues

[midnight obsidian]

i forgot to change the inhabitant count of those apartments

[orchid sorrel]

(cleaned them jsons, if you don't mind)

[midnight obsidian]

and that, kids, is why you don't rush plugins

[unique pivot]

what

wtf?

legit? normal?

[orchid sorrel]

it's true lol

or, was

[midnight obsidian]

yeah it was true

must be those trollers of romania

[unique pivot]

I want to be a plugin mod :(

maybe I wont be that active there

but better than nothing

[mortal tapir]

Hope you like

Anti-aircraft Missile

[unique pivot]

its kinda oversized

[mortal tapir]

Enjoy

It's their real size

[unique pivot]

they look a lot smaller on the last pic

[mortal tapir]

Hahaha

It's free no copyright

Hope

You like it

[lunar snow]

Nice

Oversized i think

[mortal tapir]

Literally can't made the car spawn

[lunar snow]

I think only Cuba uses this mobile variant

Nvm i was wrong

[mortal tapir]

And polish

[lunar snow]

Poland uses it too

[lunar snow]

Ye

[lavish hinge]

i looks like a mobile giant trident to me

[mortal tapir]

Hahaha

[lavish hinge]

and then it shoots trident like we do in minecraft

[mortal tapir]

Literally shoot missile

[urban grove]

Make the missile white or something to make it more visible because it blends in with the tank.

[mortal tapir]

Literally shoot missile there's the missile from the Rocket Artillery and Anti-aircraft

[lavish hinge]

wait

it can literally shoot?

im gonna download your plugin real quick

[static pollen]

Really cool

Not oversized too

[unique pivot]

nah I mean the rocket attachment is longer than the whole vehicle

here its somewhat equal

same for the rocket length

[neat lance]

Holy
It can shot?!

[misty pawn]

Guess they look good enough

Probably gotta add more variety 😩

[red lintel]

Working on a new plugin

[rich birch]

👌🏼

[midnight obsidian]

when are you releasing it

[rain gate]

Definitely the plugin of all time

[red lintel]

Probably
By the end of the first millennium

[vernal dragon]

Question to the plugin moderators. And when will the plug-in for Amsterdam modular buildings be restored? It's just that the sword has already passed, and it's still in updates, but for some reason it's not in the store

[orchid scroll]

can't wait

[lunar snow]

Better than whatever the26 has done

Obviously not as good as mine

[lunar snow]

love your works

do you plan to add diagonal frames

it's the easiest frames to make

[red lintel]

Metal pipe vibes

[misty pawn]

I tired to make some but they weren't that good so I just deleted all

Idk kinda don't really understand what's diagonal tbh💀

[lunar snow]

try to do it this way

[misty pawn]

Well guess I'll try but as an update

[lunar snow]

nice

[misty pawn]

There are landmarks that do though

[static pollen]

It's a shame

[subtle solar]

hmm
thinking of starting to make my own plugin

any software I should use?

[kindred tide]

@subtle solar heyo I would start with reading all the pinned comments some of them list programs you can use!

[subtle solar]

great, thank you!

[midnight obsidian]

if you're on windows, PDN (https://getpaint.net) for graphics and visual studio code for json

that's what i recommend

[subtle solar]

thanks alot!

[kindred tide]

Glad we can help

[subtle solar]

I see there is a plugin make pinned, should I use that as a beginner?

[thin wraith]

if you don't want to deal with basic coding then use it

[rain gate]

Looks nice

Well if u want it..

Its incredible

[violet plume]

Guys hello, pls can you help how download private plugins by Vönark

[urban grove]

It's not private, you can join vönark server to get it.

[violet plume]

Then how to join his server?

How names his server?

[red lintel]

I'll dm you the link

[violet plume]

Where?

[violet plume]

did someone already do tis?

[rain gate]

believe so

[slender briar]

@drifting creek look at me ma , im making plugins again!

if tat ones made ill do der dom zur kolle

i just need to know if da italian one is made

[warm spruce]

nah

[slender briar]

denn ill do it

[stoic palm]

Yeah you've made some close, but I haven't seen than one before

[slender briar]

i did that one spanish one

looked similar and ill probs reuse te colors for the whole roof stuff

[stoic palm]

The thick one

[slender briar]

yes

[stoic palm]

That's what I thought haha

[slender briar]

well if the one from florence aint made i got to get to work

i got 3 days witout my gf , should be enough to make it

[stoic palm]

Best of luck!

[slender briar]

thanks u

its surprisin how few actual architecture is in theotown

a lot of glass and no stone

[stoic palm]

I think for most stone is hard to execute

[slender briar]

i mean most apps have some sort of noise or radient tools

its easy with proper tools

and most have them

they just dont use em

[drifting creek]

Eyyyy, welcome back to the light

[slender briar]

been a lon time

[oblique tundra]

Omg hii kek!

[slender briar]

ello

[slender briar]

i thout of the same thin lol

its all to plan

sadly a octagon

those look like sheet in isometric most of the time

fast work

could have made it

oh no

fuuuuuuuuuu

its not gonna be realistic

irl it aligns

but if i made mine align it would not be isometric

or a really ugly isometric

its gonna have to be uneven

nope

fixed it

[oblique tundra]

Sorry but you did the octagon as viewed from above like that

[slender briar]

yep

[oblique tundra]

I think it should be like that in isometric

[slender briar]

or just viewed fisomtric but weird angle

yeah its fixed now thanks jolly

[midnight obsidian]

yooo kekman

[slender briar]

ello

[midnight obsidian]

are you going to make this building into a factory for the plugins contest

imagine a church converted into some factory kind of thing

that'd be quite a cool concept

[slender briar]

contest?

[slender briar]

good idea hmmm

but nah it would be too surreal for theotown

[slender briar]

uuuh actually no

those middle lines have to run parallel with the building body

[keen swallow]

saw this on #event-entries-cities . Anyone knows the plugin for this car ferry boats? The one with many cars mainly.

[slender briar]

as here

[oblique tundra]

I just edited it fast

[slender briar]

its ok i just saw it now that it has to follow some paralel lines

still thanks

[oblique tundra]

I was going to say, imagine that as a diagonal and straight building at the same time

[slender briar]

yea thats the right perspective

[keen swallow]

those btw

[rich birch]

Oh my gosh
Florentine cathedral 😳

[slender briar]

yes

progress

[slender briar]

weehee

[rich birch]

Wow, the dome in this cathedral is huge

*i have one in my simcity account

[slender briar]

uiii

[midnight obsidian]

credible

[rain gate]

Incredible

[slender briar]

needs shaping

leaving it at this for today ,will continue tomorro

2 hour work looks pretty ok

[runic reef]

uncredible

[slender briar]

expected final size

rough

will shorten the dome a bit tomorro i think its too long

did it now

looks better

[rain gate]

i think the size is fine

[slender briar]

nah man i think thats big enuff

didnt you measure before?

[sharp kettle]

uh.. what

i measure it visualy

[slender briar]

i mean you convert meter to pixel to have an orientation point

[sharp kettle]

all my 1 year of plugin making experience i never done that

[slender briar]

ive done it in my whole 5 years of experience

it makes a difference

measuring is always good

[sharp kettle]

well my only refference is a 1x3 theonian pixel

[slender briar]

i just do meter divided by 1.8 and then times 3

cuz a 1.8 meters is 3 theotown pixels

its kinda straightforward

[sharp kettle]

yeah.. i dont do that, i just work visually

plus i usually work on small decors anyway

[sharp kettle]

well, i wanted to redraw the whole thing from scratch to make it look better

[rain gate]

Your too hard on yourself mate, I think its just fine.

[slender briar]

aestethic wise its great

i have my quirks with scale but it looks good

[rain gate]

nothings perfect after all

[slender briar]

yessir

[sharp kettle]

its only gonna take maybe 3 days, maybe a week if im not feeling it

i really want to continue working on my ww2 pack

[rain gate]

Do watcha want, whatever makes you happy.

[midnight obsidian]

Yeah same i usually eyeball

[sharp kettle]

gore.

[slender briar]

everyone here eyeballing sizes and im measuring and comparing angles

jeesh

[midnight obsidian]

I feel like the stuff i usually make doesn't require measurement

[slender briar]

i mean okay for small stuff

[sharp kettle]

i just use a refrence pic, usually with people in it to know the size

[midnight obsidian]

I also use reference pics but i really don't care about size since i use them more as inspiration rather than model

Probably the only time where i did use the reference as model was when i made the basic shape for the complex industri paper mill

[sharp kettle]

vehicles are quite tricky i guess, even if theyre big

[midnight obsidian]

Yeah i don't mess around with vehicles

[sharp kettle]

the back is just very bothering me to look at

[gentle sun]

i think its a philippine passenger ships pack

does anyone know what privileged is?? i have no idea what that means...

[stoic palm]

It's a code that allows you to use certain functions in the game

As the name suggests

Only certain plugin creators have access to jt

[gentle sun]

oh.

alr2

[sharp kettle]

been working on this for 3 hour straight

[rain gate]

Nice track

[gentle sun]

i wanna ask somethin, does using an id of a sound works with the "sound click" attribute??
example...

[
    {
        "id": "$soundClick00",
        "type": "sound",
        "file": "soundClick.mp3",
        "volume": 1.0
    },
    {
        "id": "$soundClickTest00",
        "type": "decoration",
        "title": "Sound Click Test",
        "text": "Sound Click Test",
        "sound click": {
            "id": "$soundClick00" // This is where I put the sound's id.
        }
    }
]```
if it does how can i do it?? by putting the sound's id in the `"id"` attribute or what??

[keen swallow]

do u know where to find?

[gentle sun]

its in the plugin store, there are three of them...

[keen swallow]

yeah

found it

thanks mate

[gentle sun]

wc

[merry isle]

anyone know what plugins were used for this bridge?

[gentle sun]

the street lights

its called 1 way street light

[thin wraith]

road is ph road pack?

also I'd rather ask for plugins in #town-square

[gentle sun]

oh k...

[gentle sun]

the roads are similar to me... i forgot it cause' i have quitted theotown for like 2 - 3 years

[merry isle]

alr thx

[thin wraith]

probably ph road pack

[gentle sun]

anyways...

does using an id of a sound works with the "sound click" attribute??
example...

[
    {
        "id": "$soundClick00",
        "type": "sound",
        "file": "soundClick.mp3",
        "volume": 1.0
    },
    {
        "id": "$soundClickTest00",
        "type": "decoration",
        "title": "Sound Click Test",
        "text": "Sound Click Test",
        "sound click": {
            "id": "$soundClick00" // This is where I put the sound's id.
        }
    }
]```
if it does how can i do it?? by putting the sound's id in the `"id"` attribute or what?? this is my 2nd question btw...

[merry isle]

when it’s only in forums can you install it on apple?

[thin wraith]

probably not

I'm not sure if the game has a file manager built-in

[crimson basin]

Yeah

But its not the easiest on apple

You can try to use apple file manager but its a mess

You can try with external file managers too

You download on forums and move to plugin folder

[frigid tusk]

What's approximatively the horizontal length of a tile in meter?

[lunar snow]

Nice

[mortal tapir]

Thanks

[frigid tusk]

I thought 3 pixel was 1.80

I asked for the length of the side of a tile, not Pythagore 💀

[gentle sun]

does anyone know how to make ingame link to youtube??

[static pollen]

@jolly coral

[lunar snow]

Yep

3 pixels are 180cm

1 pixel is 0,6m

[misty pawn]

I usually go with 1.65 but yeah 1.8 is correct too and if you want to make it into isometric length then Divide it by√5

[proven yoke]

Nice

Pertamina 100k download, thanks guys

I’m too lazy to type it

[slender briar]

day 2 florence cathedral

yesterdays final

[orchid scroll]

Finally

[slender briar]

finally what

[urban grove]

Amazing! You're back? (Again)

[slender briar]

yesh

got a week of vacation before i fly to romania for my uncles wedding so im using it to make some churches

proper churches

theotown is stale when it comes to actual nice architecture

[rain gate]

touche

[uncut acorn]

Ooooh

[urban grove]

Once this cathedral is finished, what will you make? or you're gonna go back into deep slumber

[uncut acorn]

Niceee

[slender briar]

probably

if time allows it

[urban grove]

Take your time

[slender briar]

if i get the job i want ill have a lot of time while at school so it might be a comeback

[sage socket]

theres actually something wrong i did but im too lazy to fix it

[slender briar]

weird angle isometric

[sharp kettle]

nyeh.. theres.. something i dont like

from this btw

[urban grove]

Reminds me of vönark plugins, looks cool

[gentle sun]

i have i question... how to do this??

[chilly mango]

it uses an undocumented lua function, probably

[gentle sun]

oh.

[chilly mango]

you would probably need a privilege code to access it as well

since this functionality cant be entrusted freely

[gentle sun]

k...

anyways...

does using an id of a sound works with the "sound click" attribute??
example...

[
    // Sample sound.
   {
        "id": "$soundClick00",
        "type": "sound",
        "file": "soundClick.mp3",
        "volume": 1.0
    },
    
    // Sample building.
    {
        "id": "$sampleBuilding00",
        "type": "decoration",
        "title": "Sample Building",
        "text": "Sample Building",
        "sound click": {
            "id": "$soundClick00" // This is where I put the sound's id.
        }
    }
]```
if it does how can i do it?? by putting the sound's id in the `"id"` attribute like what I did above or what??

[uncut acorn]

Wow you’re just like vönark

[chilly mango]

it would probably be ```json
"sound click": "$soundclick00"

[uncut acorn]

This one leads to hyperlink lua

If you click on it, it will redirect you to YouTube tutorial

[chilly mango]

ah now i see the pattern

[sage socket]

its actually quite easy to do this type but yes i was heavely inspired by him

[chilly mango]

other plugins use ```json
"sound click":{"file":"beep.mp3"},

[gentle sun]

k, lemme try

[uncut acorn]

Nice

[gentle sun]

i dont usually use that cause' i want to separate the audio file from different folder bc it would be messy to put the audio file in the same folder...

[chilly mango]

if you really have to be able to use the sound draft and it's id theres a slightly more complicated solution

the file path can be relative

"../../sounds/beep.mp3" is valid

[gentle sun]

i tought that will not work.

[chilly mango]

otherwise you can use this```json
{
"id":"$coolsound",
"type":"sound",
"file":"click.mp3"
},
{
"id": "somebuilding",
"on click fun":
[{
actions: [{"type":"play", "id":"$hl_02_sound"}]
}]
}

[gentle sun]

i know how this works btw... i will try this.

[chilly mango]

using a relative path is preferred

otherwise you risk drafts getting loaded in the incorrect order

[gentle sun]

oh. so theres another attribute called "on click fun"??

[chilly mango]

fun is an old system used to define logic functionality for buildings

its an alternative or extension for lua

[left gale]

my traffic lights uses fun attributes, its cool how fun works though

[slender briar]

wes getting there

front side is ugly af but i gotta redo it

its just a complete clusterbuck of details in real life so its hard to get in it pixels

[urban grove]

So beautiful, I'm not crying there's something in my eyes

[drowsy briar]

Whoa

[slender briar]

thanks but rn its far from beautiful

[urban grove]

Still looks beautiful even if it's not finished
