[drowsy briar]

Yep

[urban grove]

Also how big is this? 5×5 6×6 ?

[slender briar]

no idea

i just draw it and adapt it to a tile so i dont have to compromise on scales

cuz if i start it on a tile i restrain myself from changing sizes too muich

i think its gonna be a 8x 5 or something along the lines of

saved the front

turns out my source images lied to me

most of my sources made the details a bright green and i realised those are some greenish tint dark marble

ill just make em black

cuz lightly tinted reflective material is bah in pixel art

cant relay the proper color without sacrificing the contrast

[urban grove]

Even tho you don't really talk here or don't really upload plugins often, you're one of my favorite plugin creators (Top 10 2023 edition) because how detailed your plugins are. They're really good

[slender briar]

uiiii thank u man or maam

i had a loooong pause

and uploading is always hard cuz im too lazy to make the jsons

[dreamy hearth]

Hopefully that isn't your event submission even if it looks so good

[slender briar]

A church for the factory event

Ah yes

My sumbmission

[orchid sorrel]

slap a chimney on it and call it an old factory

[rain gate]

[subtle solar]

[mortal tapir]

Enjoy and thanks

[boreal sand]

bridge in San Francisco

[subtle solar]

oh forums interesting

but not in plugins right

[mortal tapir]

maybe you mean on zip

If you want it on zip file find theotown plugins showcase on chrome

[static pollen]

the plugin is in a forum thread made by Montemarino

not in the plugins section

[subtle solar]

thank you!

[misty pawn]

Just when I think it's done I find the need to add some decal or something 🤦‍♂️

[strange cloud]

Yakka's bus tram road.

[rich birch]

Oh my gosh
Florence 🏵️

Cathedral of flower

Don't know why this cathedral looks better if the dome is shortened

But you doing great

[dreamy hearth]

Man at this point you more or less deserve to be able to post on #builder-content

[orchid sorrel]

I don't think that's how it works...

[normal arch]

how do I make plugins in mobile?

[crimson basin]

Check thwnpins of this xhannel. Youll need a pixel drawing app and a json creator

[normal arch]

reccomemtany pixel drawing app and json?

[dreamy hearth]

How does it work though?

Like how does one get the builder role cuz I forgot

[crimson basin]

Check the pins

You can find a list there

[crimson basin]

Influencers have them

Oh wait the role

They get builder role by contributing to the game

[midnight obsidian]

Rotation frames

[dreamy hearth]

I see

[urban grove]

Dude making plugins takes time. Could you just leave chipper alone? Let him do his own thing

[long socket]

sup plugin maker, do u want to work on #event-entries-plugins ??

[rich birch]

Nope

[crimson basin]

Let them work at their own pace man. They have a whole month. Dont rush the process

[lunar snow]

Nah

[long socket]

I know bro, I'm just asking 💀

[mortal tapir]

Someone knows what is this

And it works

And the helicopter(black/maybe Apache) between the hangars have textures

Or they have plans for release it

Very hard work behind the plugin military helipad

What's that on the tower(radar)

The Devs will add lights on the military?

[boreal sand]

[long socket]

[urban grove]

It's from Complex industries

[drowsy briar]

if i want to put an animation on a building which is rotation aware do i have to make it on one?

Like this

or do i have to make the animation separate?

[lunar snow]

plugin name?

is that private

aint no way

thanks

[urban grove]

How big is this? 10×10?

[lunar snow]

My mind was loading, I thought it was Buckingham Palace 💀

[stoic palm]

You should be able to make them bigger enough to be a 10x10

I think the max size is 16x16

[rain gate]

lmao

[stoic palm]

No the 8x8 is just the biggest we have natively in game

16x16 for sure works though

That's how big the coke factory is

[urban grove]

Dekuz making another masterpiece, can't wait to see it fully finished.

[white hawk]

which plugin is specific for pedestrians?

[gentle sun]

I wanna ask smth. does the json still works if u put them into sub folders of the main plugin folder??

[crimson basin]

Yep

I usually have them in zip folders

But normal folders would work too

[gentle sun]

ok. thx.

[left gale]

Depends

[paper river]

Very cool

[lavish hinge]

it matters

for some people

the awkward empty space might be hard to cover up

[orchid sorrel]

position the image on the template or adjust x/y

[neat lake]

Looks like it's floating

[uncut acorn]

Wow nice

[red lintel]

I already did
(don't question the peculiar character choice)

(totally real anime woman)

[urban grove]

Pretty sure there's another anime statue

[red lintel]

me when theochan statue

Sure

[tidal glen]

You should make a pack and publish them

[gentle sun]

i have a question... does this building's code below finds the category I made if that category's code is located at the folder which will be below of the folder where the building's code is in??

Example:
This code is located in plugin/subFolder1/building.json. (above of the subFolder2 folder - where the category code is in)

// Building Code
[
    {
        "id": "$sampleBuilding00",
        "type": "decoration",
        "title": "Sample Building",
        "text": "Sample building.",
        "category": "$sampleCat00"
    }
]```

This code is located in `plugin/subFolder2/category.json`. (below of the `subFolder1` folder - where the building code is in)
```json
// Category Code
[
    {
        "id": "$sampleCat00",
        "type": "cateory",
        "title": "Sample Category",
        "category": "$cat_decoration00"
    }
]```
If u cant understand, its ok... I'm rlly not good in english.

[orchid sorrel]

'b' is just before 'c' in the alphabet (because 'building.json' and 'category.json') so no

it has to load the category first, you could add some numbers or 'a's to the category file

[gentle sun]

oh.

alr.

thx.

[languid burrow]

@uncut acorn Do you know PITX?

[dreamy hearth]

Ok, so around a few months ago I mentioned to someone that I was going to make the Mall of Asia plugin pack

Around 12 days ago I went to Manila and studied the place along with of course some other things

After some research on the place, I'm definitely gonna make it now

[urban grove]

Goodluck!

[dreamy hearth]

Altho I did some math and oh my god

The main building itself is around 210-220 meters long and it's a square

[crimson basin]

Fun

[dreamy hearth]

So like...

Any of y'all interested in a 22x22 commercial building???

[gentle sun]

sounds cool, will u include the mall of asia arena??

[gentle sun]

try to devide it...

[robust kite]

where is this plugin for download? 🙂

[urban grove]

Join his server

[dreamy hearth]

I alr will have, the main mall building itself is really just that big

[gentle sun]

well theres a minecraft map of sm moa that has everything (almost everything) that might help u create the textures of the buildings.

[dreamy hearth]

North n South Wings of the mall are 11x22 tiles IKEA is gonna be 10x10

MoA arena, I haven't measured yet

Nvm it's 12x12

I could downsize them sure...

But where's the fun in that

Besides I'm gonna be asking help from people for some textures when needed

[gentle sun]

well... good luck on ur work 😉

[dreamy hearth]

Thanks

I'll start in the beginning of July and do it within a month

[static sail]

Don't we already have already Mall of Asia in TheoTown?

[gentle sun]

its only a mall of asia arena.

[echo prairie]

How tf safe is that train station in Poland

[uncut acorn]

Yeah I know but I can't make that anymore because it's hard

@dreamy hearth you're gonna make the mall now? Cool! 🙂

[echo prairie]

That feels so much like

Unsafe

Even though ours aren't any better

[dreamy hearth]

I'm gonna need your help with it in the future tho

[haughty anvil]

Yes 👏

Looks very good

[tawdry hill]

[mortal tapir]

[mortal tapir]

[true aspen]

Does anyone know some good plugins I can use? Just general plug-in stuff, there's so many and I honestly dont know which ones to pick

[crimson basin]

Like what? Airports? Trees? Buildings?

Id say more building variety is good so more packs

Decor

[true aspen]

everything

like just basic stuff for everything

cus i just have the base game and like a single pack for houses

[crimson basin]

I can show ypu what i have

And you can go through what you want and dont want

[thorny arrow]

Some stuff you might not need/want

you should probably use animations for those

[strange cloud]

I had one month to submit this for the event so i may consider that later on.

All of them

The first one if you have to choose

[long socket]

alright thanks

[long socket]

but someone says it was a bit oversized

[crimson basin]

2nd one then

[long socket]

alright

[long socket]

it's good right?

[urban grove]

They all look the same

The only difference is the advertisement

[long socket]

oh really?

alright thanks

[urban grove]

Yep

[long socket]

oh the thing I don't like in this plugin is the billboard's tile is 3x3 💀

why not 1

but still cool

[rain gate]

It looks alot like Stringer Bell's Tokyo Adidas asset for C:S

I'm in love nonetheless with the building you made 🤩🤩

[mortal tapir]

[urban grove]

Even tho the building shape is so basic, you still managed to make it look beautiful.

[misty pawn]

Yeah kinda I work on random stuff lately

I just saw that meme about workers using a backhoe loader to cover so I made t😂

[uncut acorn]

[sharp kettle]

(red primer)

really hoped the result will be good otherwise i will have a mental breakdown

[warm spruce]

too red i think

try putting some less saturated colors

[sharp kettle]

thats the base

i wanted to make many variations of it

burnt, dirty, damaged

[uncut acorn]

Top is in progress

[sharp kettle]

@hushed galleon im so sure what you mean but you can use color terrain plugin to mark stuff i guess?

[mortal tapir]

That's not necessary

Amazing really like it

[sharp kettle]

i have my standards

[mortal tapir]

Ok understood

[sharp kettle]

color terrain

WIP - Coming Very Soon: New update of Formerly named Single and Double Medium Lines (I'm not sure about the new name)

Now it's not just about medium lines. From the new update, it will have sidewalk fences, sidewalks with guardrails, new guardrails, crossing decos, invisible roads, new fences, new grounds/terrain for roads, new Dotted lines, new stripes and much more!

[gilded current]

this plugin has been a game changer for me. thank you for making this insane plugin, can't wait to see the next update!!

[urban grove]

Finally! An update

[keen swallow]

And diagonal versions of everything, as seen in the images (forgot to mention)

[keen swallow]

thanks mate, very soon all new things

[keen swallow]

yeaaaah

[urban grove]

(I probably already talked about this) make the lines into road decorations, suggestion

[keen swallow]

will make

those white lines and intersection lines already are road deco, gonna add more

[mortal tapir]

Amazing

[lavish hinge]

is lakan haraya here?

[urban grove]

Yes

[lavish hinge]

is it ok if i ping him out of the blue just to tell him my opinions about his plugin?

[stoic palm]

Out of the blue?

We'd prefer you not

[hushed galleon]

I meant more like a blueprint mode. Where you can create a plan and refer to that when building. That seems like a good option so far though

[haughty anvil]

Looks awesome, good job!

[haughty anvil]

Yeah because if he wont make the lines like that diagonal variants will be useless

[rich birch]

[urban grove]

i13 road pack + potato custom roads + gabriel lines = endless creativity!

[lunar snow]

ye

one thing thi

i still dont know how to use i13

[keen swallow]

it's a bit complicated in the start, I was slow learning how to use it

[lunar snow]

ah

[keen swallow]

but after u learn its just so good

[urban grove]

It's such an amazing plugin, really helpful for making European roads because they're really complicated looking

[haughty anvil]

🤔

[rain gate]

[crimson basin]

[orchid sorrel]

it does, something on your end

[haughty anvil]

It says “requested topic doesnt exists”

[orchid sorrel]

[keen swallow]

Wip - Transparent ground beaches (u can put it in any ground u want)

gotta fix the shadows btw

[haughty anvil]

Looks very good

I noticed that you are working on so many plugins

[rain gate]

No way someone finally made this

[keen swallow]

yeah, I think it's better so I come with more ideas or a freshier mind haha

[keen swallow]

yeah lol i always thought the beach should be invisible ground

[lunar snow]

Not something we want but something we need

[runic reef]

because clover leaves are the most simple effective and efficient interchanges to people

[keen swallow]

What I'm doing wrong that this road deco don't fit well in game? My idea is to make a guardrail that be on the middle of the road, on both directions ↘️↙️

Ends up like this in game

I need to split it to the 2 directions?

[midnight obsidian]

remove the empty space at the bottom

[keen swallow]

don't talking about this, I wanna make it so there is only a guardrail in the middle of the road

over the stripe of the road I mean

[midnight obsidian]

ah i get it now

there's a different template for road decos

What is the pedestrian walk bridge plugin names?

[urban grove]

Screenshot?

[long socket]

No, some people use it, like a bridge to walk over other road

You know what I mean?

[urban grove]

I use A Pathway (that's the name of the plugin)

[long socket]

like pedestarian bridge

[urban grove]

Why don't you search it up?

[long socket]

it's on forum

[urban grove]

Are you looking for this?

[long socket]

YESS

thats what I'm looking for

[urban grove]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=12530

[long socket]

is this a 1 pack plugin?

I only need the bridge

[dreamy hearth]

Yes

[long socket]

does there's any other bridge plugin?

pedestrian bridge

[urban grove]

A pathway (that's the name)

[long socket]

oh

on plugin store?

[dreamy hearth]

That's the one with the diagonal pathway right?

[urban grove]

Yes

[dreamy hearth]

If so then it doesn't work anymore

[urban grove]

But it crashes the game when you're trying to change it into diagonal

[long socket]

oh

[urban grove]

It still works but don't change it into diagonal

[long socket]

Alright
is it on plugin store or forum

[urban grove]

Plugin store

[long socket]

ok thanks

[dreamy hearth]

ok a quick sideproject Imma make before making MoA

This but downsized cuz making this based on its actual height is a waste of plugin space

[orchid sorrel]

omg it's the wildlife melter

[uncut acorn]

Uhhh ok?

[uncut acorn]

Isn’t this the suggestion from ALPHA-KRAF lol

[dreamy hearth]

@misty pawn u know what it's not an absolute waste of time after all

Anyways I'll speed build the rest of the buildings through a live vc tomorrow

if u guys are interested in that

I did not expect that

maybe its based on upvotes?

eyyo that's fast congrats @orchid scroll

Congrats @orchid scroll you deserve that

[uncut acorn]

Woah

[strange cloud]

this June, the plugin store has a spectacular increase in total downloads

my plugin downloads increased by almost 800k. It's so unbelievable!!

[crimson basin]

your plugins are great, you deserve it

[lavish sail]

Geothermal power station (my first full texture)

[tidal glen]

Looks amazing

What theater is that?

[lavish sail]

And, since I'm posting this, how do I add steam coming out of the building?

[crimson basin]

theres a tutorial on forums

also may i suggest transparent ground?

[lavish sail]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Why didn't I think of that?)

[crimson basin]

grass ground limits what people can put below it and can be aesthetically meh

[lavish sail]

I know, I know, it may well interfere with winter buildings, but I'm just wondering why I didn't think of it right away? must have been busy building.

Anyway, did it turn out well?

[crimson basin]

looks very good for a first plugin

some of the shadows could use a bit of work

youre missing some shadows

[lavish sail]

ye

[crimson basin]

youd need shadows in the red areas.

I do not know how to shadow irregular objects

so i mostly left your tower and pipes

[orchid scroll]

From which city

[lavish sail]

Thank you for your help.

?

[crimson basin]

i tgought i did the right building wasll shadow in the wrong angle

[lavish sail]

as I know, the game can finish drawing some shadows itself, can't it?

[orchid sorrel]

no

[crimson basin]

you might need to check my shadows with someone else

[orchid sorrel]

how would the game know where the building is

[crimson basin]

mightve missed some others besides these

[lavish sail]

on the outermost pixel of the texture

[orchid sorrel]

????

[crimson basin]

wha

[orchid sorrel]

that's not how any of it works

[crimson basin]

the game doesnt complete your textures for you

[lavish sail]

That's not what I mean

Can't the game render a stripe, transparent black behind the texture, guided by its boundaries?

oh

[crimson basin]

youd still have to do the shadows on the parts of the drawing where it casts the shadows

[lavish sail]

it literally doesn't work(

ok

i will draw it

[crimson basin]

the game doesnt know where the top and bottom of your buildings are

[dreamy hearth]

change of plans, I'll do this on July 4

[crimson basin]

good idea to not post raw sprites here as someone may steal it

[lavish sail]

yea

sec

i will do screenshot

[crimson basin]

some of your shadows are still wrong and some are way too short

[lavish sail]

do it bigger?

[crimson basin]

this shadow you just have to run it at the same length

not like shorter at the end

like you do the building on the right side

this one needs to be longer like i showed you and cast a shadow on the right building

this building cant cast a shadow since it goes outside the template

there needs to be a shadow here i think

do you know how TT casts shadows?

[urban grove]

Looks kinda nice

[lavish sail]

i can do the shadow bigger there, because it a end of the texture

[crimson basin]

looks like a bit too much (interms of darkness and length)
TT building shadows are the same length as the building

[crimson basin]

thats not how it works...

[lavish sail]

?

[lavish sail]

i need to do it shorter now?)

ok

[crimson basin]

heres how to count

each yellow number represents a pixel

and you count the same amount of pixels for its shadows

[lavish sail]

thx, sec i will redraw

[crimson basin]

and you count it in a straight line like i drew

[hollow birch]

Saigon Banme Hotel (My first full texture) :V

[lavish sail]

fixed

[lavish sail]

bro(

[orchid sorrel]

it looks impressive

[hollow birch]

oh no bro i'm sorry

[lavish sail]

hehe

texture is 10/10

[lavish sail]

i love it

[hollow birch]

oh thank u

[lavish sail]

theotown paradox: the bigger the building, the cooler it is

[crimson basin]

i disagree

[orchid sorrel]

that's absolutely false

[crimson basin]

but the texture looks good

[orchid sorrel]

lol

[lavish sail]

you misunderstood...

[crimson basin]

kulche pls help me because i feel like the only thing i notice about plugins at this point is shadows 😭

[lavish sail]

the bigger the texture, the less detail it needs to look cool, that's what I mean.

[crimson basin]

thats also false

the bigger it is the more details it needs

[lavish sail]

🤔

[orchid sorrel]

that's good

[paper river]

do you guys think my shading looks good? (sorry for bad image quality)

[lavish sail]

wow

[orchid sorrel]

that's one large roof

[lavish sail]

Mac'Donald's?

[paper river]

Lol

Yes

[orchid sorrel]

I personally prefer smooth shadows but yes, it's good

[crimson basin]

why is it good? I feel like im picking on people 😭

[lavish sail]

im living in Russia, idk what is it)

[paper river]

They sell burgers

[orchid sorrel]

that's called criticism

[lavish sail]

If it wasn't for you, my textures would look like mush

[urban grove]

Again check the pins

[crimson basin]

critisism when i cant 100% understand it

[urban grove]

There are also plenty of tutorials on YouTube. @rain gate

[rain gate]

it looks like the flee the facility house

[crimson basin]

that loooks adorable 🥰
(i want it)

[orchid sorrel]

you don't need to be a rocket scientist to criticise something

[crimson basin]

pixly

[tidal glen]

Fr it looks like it lmao

[crimson basin]

no

pixly

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meltinglogic.pixly&hl=en&gl=US

[paper river]

Pixly my beloved

[crimson basin]

you know theres other apps too?

[hushed galleon]

Pixel Studio is a good ine

*one

[crimson basin]

oh well

pixly is good

nice

[orchid sorrel]

anything other than paint.net 🤮

[crimson basin]

ah yes

wouldnt it be convenient to have paint.net on mobile?

actually i wouldnt complain if i could

🤔

maybe id stop doing half textures on mobile

[orchid sorrel]

sounds like a bad idea

[lavish sail]

guys, how to load local plugin? (in-game file manager dont work(

[orchid sorrel]

Ptag files

[agile forum]

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.

[orchid sorrel]

move them to the plugins folder

[lavish sail]

thx

[crimson basin]

it is a bad idea. cause after doing half textures on mobile, i send them to my pc and i have a large stack of to-finish plugins
ive got more plugins than i count that i started but not finished

[orchid sorrel]

relatable

[crimson basin]

do you do half textures on mobile? 🤔

[lavish sail]

guyaaaaaaaaaa

and the x and y in the building code are also texture pixels?

[orchid sorrel]

no, I'm talking about the other part of your message

[orchid sorrel]

what do you mean

x/y generally shifts the position

[lavish sail]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[orchid sorrel]

that's a lot of vapor

[paper river]

They cooking

[lavish sail]

hehehe

is a power plant based on the evaporation of a pile of water, so

[crimson basin]

what they cooking? alcohol?

i feel like they set something inside on fire 0.0

[strange cloud]

Not that is the issue,but im just vibing that im finally in the list.

[static sail]

[orchid scroll]

Maybe same

[static sail]

Oh sadge

How do you get it if you don't mind me asking

Unless you made it

[drowsy briar]

don't know what a gated community is, just heard about it

[drowsy briar]

Yes?

[static sail]

How do you get that if it didn't released yet?

[drowsy briar]

Because I make that plugin

[static sail]

A'ighty

[long socket]

suburb in my country be like

[lavish sail]

I mean, once I went out to eat, I was already a junkie? I just wanted to bring people... light...

[urban grove]

A gated community is pretty much a suburb but a fence is surrounding it and the only way to get in is via gates (simplest explanation)

[drowsy briar]

Owh thx for that

[urban grove]

So beautiful

[lavish sail]

why night animation dont working?

[orchid sorrel]

most likely incorrect y coordinate

[thorny arrow]

Next country's building plugin is: ||Romania 🇷🇴 ||

[crimson basin]

[lavish sail]

no(

[orchid sorrel]

how do you know

[tidal glen]

For any issues or questions for the plugin I am available 24/7

[thorny arrow]

Its a CHAD abandoned building 🤣

[lavish sail]

the y coordinate has -, it means it above ground, but i dont see it

[thorny arrow]

@tidal glen But that abandoned building is cool. Don't worry I will make it more beautiful than the real life one

👌

[tidal glen]

👍

if its not cool I will send Dracula after you

and steal your wallet

[thorny arrow]

🤓

[orchid sorrel]

just because it's negative doesn't mean it'll work

[thorny arrow]

And after that is :
||Poland 🇵🇱 ||

[misty pawn]

Yaas

Sorry for late react was offline for a while

[midnight obsidian]

[lavish sail]

[midnight obsidian]

not like i've already done a lot of stuff from Lithuania

[orchid sorrel]

you literally moved it 47 pixels to the right lol

[lavish sail]

russia lol

[orchid sorrel]

that's pretty far

how does your frame look like

[lavish sail]

this is a modified code, last time x was zero, it didn't work.

bru

h

[orchid sorrel]

you rarely have to change x by a lot when using custom frames

also make sure to place a few new buildings when you test it

[lavish sail]

?

[orchid sorrel]

what do you not understand

[lavish sail]

for what&

?

[orchid sorrel]

place your plugins a few times around

to test?

[lavish sail]

???

[orchid sorrel]

eh just drop it

[lavish sail]

OH

I SEE THAT

[orchid sorrel]

the pivot point of every animation is in its top left corner

[lavish sail]

yee eit works🥳

[orchid sorrel]

congratulations

[lavish sail]

Where is this Cathedral from please

Thank you

[hidden olive]

guys, how do i make a plug-in?

[urban grove]

Check the pins, and there are tutorials on YouTube.

[hidden olive]

thanks

question

plug-in are made in pc or phone?

[orchid scroll]

Both

[hidden olive]

perfect

[long socket]

Good luck

[hidden olive]

thanks

guys, i don't undestand a thing

how can i get started into creating a plug-in?

[thin wraith]

check pinned messages

[hidden olive]

oh...

[strange cloud]

One building,requires 12 seperate frames. (For anim)

[carmine hemlock]

japan

[dawn folio]

I always forget, what’s that app again?

[paper river]

Pixly

[dawn folio]

Ahh, right

Thank you

Is it on iOS? I can’t seem to find it

[paper river]

I think it's not on ios

[dawn folio]

Oh damn, well that’s a little unfortunate

Preciate it though

[strange cloud]

You can read this tip

[sinful meadow]

Any new

[crimson basin]

you can search for pixel drawing apps on the ios store. Youd ideally be looking for one where you can draw one pixel at a atime, has layers and have a colour wheel.

[dawn folio]

Oh alright, thank you!

[lavish sail]

How long plugin can waiting for an approval?

[crimson basin]

At our current rate from a week to two weeks

[low loom]

Coal

[left gale]

Heya

[lavish sail]

Guys, is it possible to add a catastrophe to the mod?

I'M SORRY I CALLED THE PLUGIN A MOD AND NOW I'M FACING A RIDICULOUS EXECUTION

[orchid sorrel]

stop with the caps

you can use lua to create a custom disaster

[lavish sail]

where i can see the template? how to?

[orchid sorrel]

template?

refer to the lua tutorials section on the forums

[lavish sail]

no, I mean what it should look like.

[orchid sorrel]

"it"?

[lavish sail]

OK ._.

[orchid sorrel]

I don't know how do you want your disaster to look like...

[lavish sail]

brueh

[orchid sorrel]

I don't get what are you even asking me about

lua is a scripting language, it's not just filling in the blanks like json

[lavish sail]

i know

[low loom]

Ow

[lavish sail]

i drew it right?

[orchid sorrel]

looks good to me

would add a pixel on the top here

[lavish sail]

no, it looking bad

[orchid sorrel]

maybe

[lavish sail]

?

[orchid sorrel]

1 to the right

[lavish sail]

oh sec

[orchid sorrel]

so it's actually isometric

[lavish sail]

squareeeeeeeee

[orchid sorrel]

wtf you doing

[lavish sail]

heheheheheheh

i get

?

[orchid sorrel]

the roof is now too long in relation to the walls

you could've just added the single pixel instead of editing the whole roof...

[crimson basin]

he meant like this

[lavish sail]

m

[orchid sorrel]

yes thanks, I'm not on my machine

[lavish sail]

thats better

[orchid sorrel]

it still isn't exactly perfect

please go back to the first version and just add the pixel lol

[lavish sail]

.

[crimson basin]

no

[orchid sorrel]

that's not the initial version....

[crimson basin]

add it to this

[lavish sail]

sorry

my mistake

[orchid sorrel]

now that's geometrically correct

great

[lavish sail]

🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳

I can't figure out how to draw a chimney?

there blur btw

so, i need big

[crimson basin]

its a 1x1 on the left and 1x2 on the right for the chimney

[lavish sail]

bruh

[orchid sorrel]

that's one huge chimney

[lavish sail]

thats better

[crimson basin]

i think this is about right?

[lunar snow]

Too big

[lavish sail]

hm

[crimson basin]

hi kiel (leaf)

[lunar snow]

It's not about the height

[lavish sail]

i knooow

[orchid sorrel]

then make it smaller

[lavish sail]

just drew it

[lunar snow]

then you should fix the width instead of the hieght

[orchid sorrel]

1x2 sounds maximum for this size

[lavish sail]

or... that...

[crimson basin]

oh i think i drew it wrong

[lavish sail]

bruh

how

[orchid sorrel]

looks good to me now

just in a weird position

[lavish sail]

weird position?

[orchid sorrel]

yes?

I mean, it just looks kinda off when it's right in the middle

[lavish sail]

or

1 or 2?

[orchid sorrel]

probably the lower one

[lavish sail]

yeaaah

we did it

the world's smaller chimney

[orchid sorrel]

it's still a rather large chimney...

please look at the game's scale

[crimson basin]

i mean we can call a 1 pixel wide and 2 pixels tall thing a chimney

so not the smallest chimney in the world

[hot crag]

[orchid sorrel]

this isn't very plugin related

[lavish sail]

sorry

how to draw door?

[orchid sorrel]

you know you can just follow a tutorial or look at the world texture

instead of asking about every single thing

you're the one drawing after all

[lavish sail]

?

[lavish sail]

i just bored

?

i think it yes

[crimson basin]

this looks right

[crimson basin]

[lavish sail]

OH

[orchid scroll]

Huh

Oh alright

[orchid scroll]

Nice so far

[urban grove]

You literally made my Minecraft house, looks really nice

[paper river]

You should make the stripes like this (suggestion)

[crimson basin]

thats what i was saying

also i might not instantly reply since im doing some timed exam practice, but feel free to ping if you want me to reply

[lavish sail]

thats reference, like Old Russian house

[paper river]

Looks cozy

[crimson basin]

[lavish sail]

[lavish sail]

[haughty anvil]

Your first plugin is pretty nice too

[paper river]

It got smoke and night animation

Mine was just a 1x1 house

Since she read this, it's a yes, you may now ping her, just for now

[signal lagoon]

is the code in json format?

[midnight obsidian]

👍

ye

[hidden olive]

Time to draw

I don't know if I spelled it right or not

[signal lagoon]

it's possible, but we need to reverse the process. if not, it will display all animations. lol

like this.

[hidden olive]

Is piskel a good place where doing my plug-in?

[left gale]

Depends on your preference

[hidden olive]

It's my first time doing a plug-in

[midnight obsidian]

yeah it's good

[hidden olive]

Ok, i will try

[left gale]

Good luck

[midnight obsidian]

although seeing how you're on pc, if you have windows there's a much better alternative

[hidden olive]

Thanks

[hidden olive]

I'm listening

[midnight obsidian]

paint.NET

https://getpaint.net/download.html

[hidden olive]

Others?

[midnight obsidian]

and choose dotPDN

[livid agate]

how to download on linux

[midnight obsidian]

you can't

unless you're able to emulate these requirements

[left gale]

So sad

[lavish hinge]

so im wondering why we cant build the docks with docked vinta in the middle of the water

and maybe some straight docks with docked vinta boats would be nice

[left gale]

No you cant build it shallow docks on deep seas

[hidden olive]

@midnight obsidian i need something that is verifided by Microsoft

[left gale]

But hey, wanna update that?

[midnight obsidian]

hm?

[midnight obsidian]

what do you mean

[hidden olive]

I can't install things that aren't verifided by Microsoft and I don't know how to remove the setting

[lavish hinge]

i cant force you

[thin wraith]

search in Google ig

[left gale]

I'm trying

[midnight obsidian]

yeah you could search it on google

i do not know how to solve that issue unfortunately

[lavish hinge]

but if you wanna update it, please make it so that we can also have one or two boat per ''building'' so that this can be made look better

[hidden olive]

I will try another time i guess

[left gale]

That suggestion requires a frame optimizations and could be resolved using upgrades.

Gonna try that

[keen swallow]

[static pollen]

Looks too small

This is 112 pixels long and 80 pixels wide

[rain gate]

agreed

it should be an 8x8 or a 7x7

[static pollen]

It should be 272 pixels long and 208 pixels wide
