oooh

[tidal glen]

❤️

[sharp kettle]

not gonna be a easy task making the ground go like that tho.. not a terrain specialist

[forest grove]

Is there even a plugin limit?

[stoic palm]

Depends on your device

[forest grove]

Well I'm on a phone, but I got the terabox app and all that good stuff

[midnight obsidian]

It depends less on your storage space and more on your ram and cpu and that kind of stuff

[forest grove]

I got like less than 200 plug-ins, and everything's going good so far

[dawn folio]

I have like 620 plugins and I’m still goin good

[forest grove]

I thought 200 was too much

[dawn folio]

Ah nah

Some people have thousands

[forest grove]

Imagine the amount of diamonds the spent on that many plugins

[dawn folio]

Yeah sounds pretty insane

[crimson basin]

not if they are on pc

[tidal glen]

Ads be like...

[midnight obsidian]

Sitting at 1,2k here

[tidal glen]

I have more then 1,6k on PC lol

[midnight obsidian]

Well time for a plugin installation spree

[sharp kettle]

dont forget to download designer anthony's plugins 👍

[midnight obsidian]

Obviously

Naufhal's too

[sharp kettle]

that'll get you to atleast 6.9K plugins

[muted pecan]

is there a “base” texture of the alley tree/small park that resembles alley trees anywhere, that just has the ground but not the tree? i wanna make something simple that adds more “small park” frames to get myself used to plugins before really getting into any of the bigger stuff on my wishlist lol

[midnight obsidian]

I think marco made one but i'm unsure if it's on the store now

Basically some decal pack and one of the decals is a tree stand kind of thing

[muted pecan]

i can check, i spend so much of my playtime plugin shopping but idk if i’ve seen that one

lol

[muted pecan]

is “Marco” called “Marco Handres” on the plugin store? cuz if so i think that one is gone :(

[warm spruce]

will ya post those smd?

[forest grove]

Are you on pc?

[muted pecan]

also, is it possible to make a plugin that isn’t its own building, but simply appends new frames to existing/base game buildings?

[rain gate]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=14453

[livid agate]

You can do so with draft overriding

[midnight obsidian]

Yes i play on pc

[muted pecan]

pog

tyy, yeah i try not to ask unless i really can’t find smth in the tutorials on the forums or here ;;

[marsh robin]

I Friended him I think he's still in there

he is off though he's fine

[muted pecan]

i meant that the plugin is off the store

[static pollen]

That's a big parking, for trucks ?

[burnt bramble]

not really, but it's just some different ideas on how to use the lanes intended for the roads

[warm spruce]

that looks lit asf

[rain gate]

@burnt bramble dawg im trying to ask u something in dms

[marsh robin]

it's stil I looked at his profile already

[dawn folio]

Looks stunning

[marsh robin]

the heck I think my keys are hard.

[barren shadow]

I am looking for some T buildings any recommendations?

[marsh robin]

a building with A T

[rotund hemlock]

Does the hover car plug in replace all cars or does it use a separate road for the hover cars ?

[stoic palm]

It's just a different car

Nothing special

[rotund hemlock]

Ah damn

[vernal void]

sorry I asked on this server, I don't know which server to ask. is the music in the theotown game all no copyright?

[muted pecan]

i didn’t see it, i think that one isn’t in the iOS plugin store. found it on forums tho

ok so the thing i thought would be easier looks like it’s gonna be jumping headfirst into lua scripting oh well

[stoic palm]

yes

[burnt bramble]

couple more lines coded into the game

tomorrow will be focused on organizing wtv this mess is

and naming stuff properly

[gilded current]

omg

this is going to be the best road plugin

[rain gate]

and i helped 😎

sorta

well in some parts

[gilded current]

😎😎

[rain gate]

i can help

[gilded current]

ril

[rain gate]

rel

[urban grove]

Is this even TheoTown anymore? This looks amazing (so far) probably one of the biggest road plugin ever

[rain gate]

hurty brainy lol

[muted pecan]

butterfly bus

[rain gate]

that's how philippines is, colorful buses 🤷‍♂️

[muted pecan]

it’s like a kaleidoscope. i kinda wanna eat them

[rain gate]

lmao

[muted pecan]

i’ve been madly digging through the public textures for four hours looking for the alley tree grass circle…i just wanna add some of the new trees to the small park+avenue

w accurate textures

[burnt bramble]

diagonal lines

[rain gate]

i think ive kinda finished it, ima give u the pic now @burnt bramble

[stoic palm]

Your best bet maybe to take on of the existing tree planter things and just edit it out for the base layer

[burnt bramble]

aight sounds good

[muted pecan]

yeah probably

my concern is that it might not look as accurate as i want it to

[crimson basin]

i can do the texture for you

and leave the json to you

[muted pecan]

it’s fine, i can do it myself. i wonder if the “Subtract” blend mode will let me negate the shadow and leave me with just the base

[crimson basin]

give me a few minutes since i woke up

[left gale]

I can do json and leave texture to you

[muted pecan]

i like to do art, my current pixel art app just turns my phone hotter than the sun

[crimson basin]

lol

[stoic palm]

You could take the concrete texture and that base planter texture if your worried about shadows

[muted pecan]

the base planter texture has been what i’ve been looking for lol

lemme test smth

[stoic palm]

Yeah that doesn't exist

Or not that I've seen

[muted pecan]

actually, looking at the shadows and comparing between the different frames, i think the “base” texture for that is actually the one with the light lmao

[stoic palm]

I'd say so

[muted pecan]

ty for helping me figure this out lol

[stoic palm]

No problem haha

I'll be off now, so best of luck!

[rain gate]

actually made decent progress for my supa pack

[crimson basin]

its the concrete texture

im pretty sure cause ive been using it

@muted pecan you may find this helpful

[muted pecan]

h. how

how did you get rid of the shadow

[crimson basin]

i drew over it

if youd like it, ill give you

[muted pecan]

did you just color pick it or what

[crimson basin]

but you wanted to draw yourself sooo

[muted pecan]

pls 🥺

[crimson basin]

nope, look to what i replied with mentioning you

[muted pecan]

i mean, for the green part

[crimson basin]

oh im not exactly sure since in game grass wasnt matching in

[muted pecan]

btw how should i credit you

tu dm

[crimson basin]

you dont have to

[muted pecan]

*ty sm

[crimson basin]

just credit the devs

i used the in gmae grass and blended it to match

[muted pecan]

i see

sysm

*tysm

[crimson basin]

no problem :)

[uncut acorn]

Oooh yellow bus line buses

[rain gate]

yup

[crimson basin]

whats an ordinal?

and do i need it?

[orchid sorrel]

where are you using it

[crimson basin]

in a category

oh i figured out what it does, but do i need it?

[orchid sorrel]

it might be worthwile to use it

it sets the category in a specific place

[crimson basin]

hmm

how can i put my category inside the rci one?

[muted pecan]

btw, if i may ask, how did you accomplish the blending

[crimson basin]

transparency

i pixked the colours, used 50% on it until it blended

with different hues btw

[muted pecan]

ty

[crimson basin]

ooh ooh wait i think i found it

:D

[orchid sorrel]

you'd have to find the id

[crimson basin]

yay it workss

it was so annoying to have them all inside the manual build category

cause there was so many of them

[rain gate]

sneak peak omg?

[crimson basin]

and also was so annoying they automatically kept building itself when i used the zone tool

[crimson basin]

nah, if you want a sneak peak, i sent it here a long time ago

im just making it less annoying lol

[crimson basin]

this one is staying private but ill probably upload the ones that look like flags

[rain gate]

ah

[crimson basin]

and the gradient coloured one :3

but i need to make those first

at this point everything will get finished eventually™️

[sharp kettle]

you can disable that

well by default it should not do that

[low loom]

So since dev has the power to revert a plugin version can we have an access on that thing, so we can easily withdraw committed patches whenever it fails

[crimson basin]

by default it does, im adding auto build false now

[sharp kettle]

er.. i dont think it does?

never had my res and com plugin buildings build themself

[orchid sorrel]

it is true by default

[sharp kettle]

ah, alr then

[left gale]

removable: false

Lol

[crimson basin]

sounds like a fun thing to use

@rain gate these are all the ones i have rn, and i need to organise them (which is what im doing now) before making more

[sharp kettle]

we do a little trolling

[crimson basin]

chipper send me a friend request for a sec?

i have something to ask you

[sharp kettle]

uh, kk

[rain gate]

i have terrible wifi rn, so i can see em

[sharp kettle]

"move able": true?

[crimson basin]

https://discord.com/channels/@me/1027257472823603315/1131505555530321984
i know that :)
and you dont have to feel pressured to do explain it to anyone

[sharp kettle]

#unknown?

[sharp kettle]

nvm

[crimson basin]

thats supposed to go to our last message in dms

probably seeing it as unknown since you closed it?

[sharp kettle]

i guess so

[rain gate]

i dont think that's how it works

[sharp kettle]

oops, miss click, dont accept that

[crimson basin]

its okay lol

[sharp kettle]

are these trucks from the vanilla game or plugin??

[rain gate]

vanilla

[sharp kettle]

hope they finnaly make diagonal frame for them

[rain gate]

i did once make diagonal frames

but that was way back

[sharp kettle]

?

[rain gate]

?

[crimson basin]

🥺

[rain gate]

woahh

cutee

[sharp kettle]

nice icons

[crimson basin]

god

i need to sort these some day

[sharp kettle]

already sorted out mine, life feels easier

[crimson basin]

my actual plugin folder is neatly arranged but my other plugin folder is sooo bad lmao

i think theres some old pngs and wips and idek anymore

[rain gate]

always make folders before making sprites n jsons

[crimson basin]

they are in folders

just not here

[rain gate]

well what i usually do is make a folder and when finished making a sprite i save it in the specific folder i made

[crimson basin]

i make zipped folders

and things dont exactly get saved in zip folders

so i save them somewhere else then move the,

[rain gate]

ohh like a folder that's for zips files?

or is it something else difficult

[dim thorn]

My custom facade

[rain gate]

different*

very niceu

[muted pecan]

ayy pixel studio gang

[crimson basin]

directly in my plugin folder

[rain gate]

ah

[crimson basin]

shouldve made a normal folder then zipped it

[muted pecan]

you can always unzip lol

[crimson basin]

eh

leave it beee

:>

okay 22 more "errors" left

[midnight obsidian]

reminds me of some openttd building lol

[rain gate]

doesn't look like theotown tbh

[muted pecan]

i am very grateful for the help

[static pollen]

Make the ground transparent

[sharp kettle]

i stole that png

its just a practice building

[crimson basin]

they are making it like the alley trees

[sharp kettle]

wanted the concrast sharp

[rain gate]

omg no way im gonna steal yours too

[sharp kettle]

i never liked building with grey/ dead colors

[muted pecan]

i wanted the alley trees :v

[static pollen]

and add a few pixels of snow, or leaves or flowers on the ground

[crimson basin]

looks cool 👍

[static pollen]

Yeah but can't choose the ground

[midnight obsidian]

you know i have the feeling it'll just be a personal plugin

[crimson basin]

and?

just let them do what they want

[static pollen]

if I want to put darker asphalt I could not

[muted pecan]

i’m very new at this whole plugin thing, it’d probably take more skill than i have rn to do that

[static pollen]

He's open for advice i suggested him

[rain gate]

then dont use it silly bokoblo

[crimson basin]

nah, its actually pretty simple, youd just use transparent ground

i can give you a transparent ground version

[muted pecan]

nah i can do that myself

i’m just tired rn lol

[rain gate]

i should prolly update mine n add fall n snow trees

[muted pecan]

i’m just thinking of like. json stuff that i’m not used to

[crimson basin]

ah

just make sure not to crop the sides or bottom, you could but it would be harder then

[muted pecan]

art, animation, etc. i’m fine with, i’m less used to code lol

[crimson basin]

okay have fun

[muted pecan]

most of my trouble was uh. finding base textures, so your base was a huge help

gn all

[rain gate]

i should prolly post this

(this is an old pic, if u have a new update, the rest of the sliders below these three dont really matter much)

[crimson basin]

Is there a way to smake my buildings not appear in manual build?

[rain gate]

like in the category?

[crimson basin]

yeah

[rain gate]

i dont think there is a way

[crimson basin]

i have a lot of them and its completely flooding manual build

[rain gate]

well obviously it's gonna flood the manual build category

[crimson basin]

i did thinking about making them frames instead but idk

can i make things with animations as frames?

[sharp kettle]

you can make another category

and put your buildings there

[rain gate]

ooh yeah maybe

yay finally finished

[crimson basin]

no like they are already in another category but they are still appearing in manual build

[sharp kettle]

uh,.. can i see the json?

[crimson basin]

each building looks like this

[rain gate]

what about the json for the category?

[rain gate]

huh

ohh wait

u were asking how to remove ur towers in manual category?

[crimson basin]

yes

i have two versions of it rn

and theres like

50 buildings total or smth

in each version

[rain gate]

not possible really

[crimson basin]

37 total

[rain gate]

it's probably hard coded to ensure that any building appear in the manual category if the type is either r, c or i

[left gale]

"hidden":true

[crimson basin]

does that really work?

will i still be able to see it in its own category?

[left gale]

Nope, it's hidden but it's there

[rain gate]

what does that line even do?

[sharp kettle]

imagine sneaking a very tall 16x16 plugin into someones device

[left gale]

Hides the bldg/icon from category

[crimson basin]

can we select what category it disappears from?

[left gale]

Nahh store mods definitely sees what's hidden there

[sharp kettle]

dont think so

[left gale]

Nope

[sharp kettle]

ik lol, but maybe forum plugins

[crimson basin]

great im making it decor then

[rain gate]

so then it just disappears

[crimson basin]

can i make it decor? or is there a rule buildings have to be rci

[left gale]

But you can add this line for each bldg
"category":"$your_cutom_cat" then add hidden: true

[crimson basin]

then i can only see it in my category?

[left gale]

It's on your category but it's also hidden, anyway their category doesn't matter since it was hidden

[sharp kettle]

"destroyable": false can still be bulldozed right? just cant burn

(for the bunkers)

[left gale]

"removable":false

[crimson basin]

but then how would one build it?

[sharp kettle]

no, i want it to be fireproof but still be bulldozeable

[sharp kettle]

uh.. you must search the name i guess?

[left gale]

They can't

Unless you will reuse that object {} on the other object {}

[crimson basin]

can i?

wait if i do that will it under decor?

[left gale]

My traffic light plug uses hidden for each color of the 🚦, then remove-and-build them using "fun" attributes

What do you mean do that under deco?

[crimson basin]

can i just ;abel my buildings decor instead of residential

[left gale]

Yes, a different type

"type":"decoration" // it exist!

You mean this?

[crimson basin]

yeah

they are more decorative anyway

[left gale]

"type":"landmark"

[uncut acorn]

Very good

[crimson basin]

but its not really a landmark

as long as it doesnt appear in any category other than mine, im fine with it, lol

[rain gate]

fictional landmark

[rain gate]

ty :)

[crimson basin]

no its not a landmark 😭

its decor now ✨

[left gale]

type:building or type:deco would probably solve it

[paper river]

Wip

[dim thorn]

Wow

[uncut acorn]

Hmmm what are you making

[paper river]

Zaaron Plumbing Company

Jk, it's just a random office in Sweden

[uncut acorn]

Oh ok

[crimson basin]

@left gale thankyou, it has decluttered my manual build 💜

all of the buildings appearing in manual build twice was really getting on my nerves so thankya 💜

and now all the buildings arent even named building :D

oh and thats not the updated lithuania

[drowsy briar]

El cavana

[left gale]

Where's mine???

[left gale]

Jk I didn't add pallette for you nvm

[crimson basin]

make me oneeee

[autumn nova]

How can i make it more hospital-like?

[crimson basin]

put some red?

write hospital in big bold letters :>

[fossil crystal]

Add strips of white

[autumn nova]

Strips of white? where precisely?

[fossil crystal]

Maybe horizontally at the center of the building

Just under the windows

[muted pecan]

^

i’d also add the red cross somewhere on it

[low loom]

Perfect for public hospitals, also public schools

[sharp kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/pog-gif-20434312

[low loom]

Yes, Say no more on wider bridges with barriers on each lanes

[sharp kettle]

cant wait to decoraate this even more

[low loom]

Bruh that's awesome

[dawn folio]

What plug-in are you using for this little house?

[sharp kettle]

uh, should be in the store

[dawn folio]

Oh

Do you know what it’s called or who it’s by?

[sharp kettle]

forgot

[dawn folio]

Mmm

I’ll look around

[forest grove]

Ok so how can you get like thousands of diamonds

[rain gate]

collect daily diamond

be a good plugin creator

watch ads

a fk ton of ads

[crimson basin]

in addition to what jollibee (burger) said:

• bus stops (levelling up busses)
• daily login
• city level ups
• diamond codes (if youre lucky enough to get one)
• chrs05
• winning events like #event-entries-cities, #event-entries-plugins
• buy them

[rain gate]

getting diamonds is so easy, why would someone want to buy them 🗿

[crimson basin]

i have 16k on foum :>

[rain gate]

okay?

cool ig

[forest grove]

Ok buy buying is insane

[crimson basin]

yeeah sparklies do be expensive but i think thats where most of the revenue for the devs come from

gotta live, right?

[forest grove]

Cuz when I saw for myself I kept seeing the most suspect videos for it

[crimson basin]

wdym?

[forest grove]

ULTIMATE APK, that's literally all I saw

[crimson basin]

yeah dont

why are you searching for that even

just buy the diamonds or dont

its easy to get diamonds

yeah wouldnt recommend it

not only are they sus but they are also against our rules

[rain gate]

ad revenue?

[crimson basin]

not sure

but also IAP

and game purchases

i wonder.. if theotown suddenly became very popular, are the servers gonna start crashing again? xD

[rain gate]

for it to be really popular, it would have to go thru some changes

and a ytber that's mostly plays theotown as a main game

[crimson basin]

it got really popular in some country after the culture update and boiii was that a time

[rain gate]

which country?

[muted pecan]

judging by the countries a lot of plugins are based off, maybe phillipines?

or vietnam

[crimson basin]

one more category to go and then i can make more buildings

[muted pecan]

or maybe anhkatori is just an absolute unit who i’m mistaking for all of vietnam

[crimson basin]

nah leaf h=is from vietnam and he has lots of cool plugins

[muted pecan]

not me realizing i could have used framesteal for the tree plugin…

[crimson basin]

also you can do Ptag creators in #bot-commands to see the list

[muted pecan]

still need to write that json, had class

[rain gate]

dawg why r these so cute 😭

[crimson basin]

cause i made them :3

i like aesthetics xD

i have miscellaneous category left and idk what to put

probaby the bunny on my head on the old pfp

[rain gate]

js do a thinking bunny or a question mark in front or behind a bunny

[crimson basin]

lol

question mark does seem like a good idea

or maybe an exclamation mark

[rain gate]

nah dont use that one

[crimson basin]

funny lookin bunny but good for reference

ooh

coool

does the helipad work?

[rain gate]

obviously not silly

[sharp kettle]

city sometimes feels frozen, some moving flags should help it

[sharp kettle]

yes it does, take the L

[rain gate]

damn

[sharp kettle]

no of course it does not work-

[rain gate]

:[

[static pollen]

I find that a stationary flag is more realistic than a flag that is constantly in motion

[crimson basin]

aaa why is paint.net wonky sometimes

[sharp kettle]

well i wont just make it like any other flag, ill try making realistic, wont be waving everytime

[crimson basin]

currently its not letting me create or move layers

🙄

[sharp kettle]

well it will be waving everytime but sometimes the wind will not be there and the flag will slow down

[crimson basin]

i think i need to close the app but i have like 10 canvases open

7

[sharp kettle]

oof

save?

[crimson basin]

yeah thankfully i can

most i didnt

but some i did

[crimson basin]

i like de vibe

though i do have to outline :<

[rain gate]

ooo

some plugins dont have outline in their categories

but i can help u with the outlines

[crimson basin]

weeee it look so cool

ill leave de flowers be

flowers look nicer without the outline

[muted pecan]

what are the big areas of color grids in the world textures for?

[rain gate]

beri cute

[crimson basin]

theres so much random stuff in the world texture that sometimes i wonder if its even the same game lol

[muted pecan]

i assume there’s a reason it’s there, cuz it takes up a significant amount of space

[crimson basin]

prolly ask kulche when hes around

or einfac

i mean chaotic

[midnight obsidian]

it's einfach.irgendjemand

it's einfaches deutsch!

[muted pecan]

whatever they are, they look like a good color pick ref for some textures

[lunar snow]

Who is einfac

[uncut acorn]

Oh wow… new update for Ph road pack

[vernal void]

hello everyone, I hope there is a developer here for the City Cleaner By Goman plugin - this plugin is very helpful, but there is something I want, I hope the tools icon can be minimalist too when all the tools are hidden minimalist, that will really help when making a full screen screen record, there are no other icons

[marsh robin]

new roads wew

[rain gate]

funny bus lmao haha

[marsh robin]

lol

I think I forgot to off wth

[autumn nova]

New roads!!

[hollow birch]

techno park tower (complete 100%)

[muted pecan]

man, reading through the forums for plugin tutorials is…an experience. i feel like i lose brain cells from sifting through some of the…less helpful posts

[rain gate]

@muted pecan i may possibly help u with ur json

[uncut acorn]

Cool you are good

[crimson basin]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2965

this is helpful

look through some of the tutorials here

and if you have questions, just ask

[hollow birch]

Thank you 😀

[muted pecan]

i’m ok rn, but ty tho

i’m just wishing i wasn’t broke so it’d be easier to build pallettes the weird random tiles in the public textures

using pixel studio’s convenient tool

[rain gate]

das why i was offering help

[stoic island]

any new plugins hmmmmm

wait

how do you make plugins

i wanna make smth

[crimson basin]

im done sorting yayyyy

[haughty anvil]

Oh, cute bunny 🥺

[crimson basin]

[stoic island]

ok no this is very complicated

[crimson basin]

ill still share the other 2

[crimson basin]

just draw the graphics

[haughty anvil]

Oh nice then

[crimson basin]

and use the pca for json

[stoic island]

what is pca

[crimson basin]

https://pca.theotown.com/

it makes your json for you

aka code

or whatever you call that

i used pca for my first plugin then learnt how to make a json

[stoic island]

ok

i had idea for power

tis more complicated than making a city in theotown ngl

[crimson basin]

lol sometimes ye

i make buildings mostly

they are easier than abstract things

[haughty anvil]

We are waiting for a bunny plugin, like bokoblo’s frog

Big rabbit

[haughty anvil]

#1102940929062608896 message like this, but as a bunny

[haughty anvil]

Why

[crimson basin]

lol

[crimson basin]

cause its not even closed to being finished

[haughty anvil]

Ah, understood

[crimson basin]

rn altogether theres 37 buildings

one category only has 2 buildings

[haughty anvil]

Big pack

[crimson basin]

one has 19 i think

no 4 separate

so you can select which ones you want

but since im done sorting, im open to suggestions

for flags

[haughty anvil]

Cool

[crimson basin]

(these are alll the flags i have rn)

for this one

and you can also choose a palette for the friends one

[haughty anvil]

Wow interesting

[summer kestrel]

Can anyone suggest a colour for a roof?

[crimson basin]

[summer kestrel]

Small cottage-like house

Is 2e140b fine?

[fossil crystal]

Day 4 of waiting for the "Pending approval" to disappear

[static pollen]

some waited longer and others...less but the mods are not always there

[fossil crystal]

I'll work on another project while i wait

[orchid sorrel]

only if I didn't have to disapprove 20 spam plugins every day

[crimson basin]

[urban grove]

"What plagin 🤓"

[uncut acorn]

Hang on

I know that pic

[uncut acorn]

||That pic actually was came from our group, the UTNS||

I’m not sure what plugin is that

[urban grove]

The same person who made that Capitol looking building?

[dim thorn]

Maybe

[uncut acorn]

It’s obviously private though tbh

Im not too sure but only the one who posted it knows

[rain gate]

Republic of Chian

Based off of China something

[uncut acorn]

It’s just roleplay

And that plugin is modulable

[dim thorn]

And private

Sad

[rain gate]

balls

[uncut acorn]

Pedestrian pack (the stairs)
Breakwaters by mdk813
Fence pack (Chipper or The26?)

Np

[midnight obsidian]

from now on this is ownership of complex industry

thank you

jokes aside, very beautiful

i approve

[uncut acorn]

Battersea 😱😱

[urban grove]

I didn't realize that was Battersea

[uncut acorn]

It has been a long time seeing you making plugins

[small trench]

yep, it has been a while

[low loom]

🥲

[autumn nova]

Wait... who's chipper? never heard of that plugin creator anywhere except here in discord

[crimson basin]

fitamint

[autumn nova]

Ah, yes, that guy
(except that he deleted all of his stuff on the store i can't find any of his plugins anymore 😐)

[crimson basin]

yeah he deleted them cause of personal reasons

[autumn nova]

yea, i can understand

[lunar snow]

Epic

[cerulean tree]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bison-street-fighter-yes-gif-3718772

[dreamy hearth]

I think I alr got an idea why it's private

@uncut acorn sorry for the second ping but I'll be delaying the moa plugin for another month to offer better modular support(than I have planned)

[fossil crystal]

Just search interchange on the plugin storr

[rotund hemlock]

If I get the military pack will a ufo actually destroy my city or can I turn that off. I just want the military parts for decoration

[thin wraith]

you can turn off auto disasters in settings

[rotund hemlock]

Cool thanks

[thin wraith]

also this is not related to plugins

[fast cave]

About the updated Plugin store rules, shouldn't this say "freemium"?

[uncut acorn]

It’s ok… maybe some other time you’ll finish it

[crimson basin]

freedom lol

i wonder how plugin mods will know if we change our plugin ids

god i have a horribly named plugin id lmaoo

[marsh robin]

Done resizing it took me a whole day yesterday.

[dreamy hearth]

If they have the original version and then see the original building disappear from their city I think

[rain gate]

how big is a meter im theotown

[regal python]

1 pixel

[rain gate]

wait fr?

[paper river]

About 1,5 pixel

[rain gate]

so then without decimal then it's a pixel?

[regal python]

Wth the 1 pixel is actually my guess how tf did I guess so close 💀

[paper river]

Making accurate size is hard

Especially if the thing is small

[rain gate]

that's exactly what im doin

[marsh robin]

zamn actual sizes

[paper river]

Are you penanglion? Just wondering

Hello guys. Any critics before i continue to the coloring process?

[regal python]

Nope

[paper river]

Hmm just realized the roof is a bit wrong

[rain gate]

can i have a bite of that building

[dreamy hearth]

I n e e d t o r e l e a s e a n e w p l u g i n

[paper river]

Take a bite

[marsh robin]

Im Not Penanglion

[rain gate]

nom

[marsh robin]

just saying it looks like a club so...... no problems... or is it a candy building it looks like I wanna eat it.

[paper river]

Curved the roof a little bit

[dreamy hearth]

@orchid sorrel I have question

would u guys accept a 22x22 size building for the plugin store?

[rain gate]

lmao

[dawn folio]

Just a bit

[rain gate]

anyone know some 4x4 glass skyscrapers?

TCPS team

[orchid sorrel]

if its good and doesnt waste space

[rain gate]

split it into multiple pieces

[dreamy hearth]

okidoki

[marsh robin]

zamn that's too big tbh

[dreamy hearth]

to be fair I am making the 5th largest mall in the world

[marsh robin]

yoooo what is it?

[dreamy hearth]

I'll give u a clue: It's in Pasay City

and has the world's largest IKEA

[rain gate]

HUH

[uncut acorn]

I thought you’re delaying

Still just a comeback

[rain gate]

boing

time for the last model yay

and 15 more models

[dreamy hearth]

Honestly all I can say is that I can still finish the main building by the end of the month

I am delaying the release however

[uncut acorn]

Ok

[uncut acorn]

Cool

[muted pecan]

so, for my trees plugin, should i use frame stealing for the winter frames, or should i just put the coordinates in world texture?

[crimson basin]

dont really think it matters that much since its just a 1x1 but you could do either

if youre worried about texture space, then youd steal them

[marsh robin]

Noice

[rain gate]

anyone else having problems with train manager?

it wont let me make a line

[marsh robin]

Wondering if it's moa

[rain gate]

yeah it's moa

[small trench]

dunzo

[crimson basin]

woaaa

[uncut acorn]

Oo mamma Mia

[crimson basin]

is it for #event-entries-plugins ?

[small trench]

yep

[crimson basin]

its gorgeousss

[rain gate]

looks like a completely different game tbh

[uncut acorn]

More like it came from transport tycoon or something like that

[crimson basin]

i want it 🤤

[urban grove]

Holy moly that's so magnificent, beautiful, and amazing!
How big is this?

[small trench]

10x10

[tidal glen]

Holy shit

That looks so good

11/10

[lavish hinge]

the event theme is indistrial, not modern industrial, so medieval age industrials works too right?

[rain gate]

yes

[lavish hinge]

cool

[marsh robin]

That's Awesome for a factory bro

[fossil crystal]

OH MA GAH
So beautiful

[rich birch]

So beautiful
I love it

[orchid scroll]

Holy shit

That's insane

[drifting sleet]

Is it possible to make rectangle grid 2x3 4x9 etc.. instead of just square 3x3 4x4 etc..

[rain gate]

nope

[crimson basin]

you can make it modular

[drifting sleet]

Damn ok thanks

[rain gate]

revamp of the first bus (shading later)

[dreamy hearth]

Battersea powerstation?

[small trench]

[dreamy hearth]

EYYYY

Leaf is in trouble

[regal python]

[dusk kernel]

FLUFFING FINALLY
A big, awesome old looking power station! I've been craving for one of those
Great job man

[sage grail]

Cool🔥✨

[autumn nova]

how do you manage to do such big plugins? (and btw whoever who wants to win against this guy, good luck!)

[dreamy hearth]

Nooo 😔

https://tenor.com/view/disintegrating-funny-thanos-gif-22399978

[urban grove]

maybe he will make it private

He always leaves but don't worry I'm sure he will come back. but idk why he keeps leaving then coming back then leaves then comes back and so on

[keen swallow]

how many times it takes for a plugin to be approved? just curiosity btw, mine is on the row just waiting

[haughty anvil]

Cool work tochiito

Nice

What, really ?

[oblique tundra]

OMG who are you???

[haughty anvil]

Dont know tochiito ?

He has a lot of featured cities

But i didnt know him too about making plugins

[crimson basin]

about a weekish

[oblique tundra]

Yeah

[echo prairie]

May have some personal issues, Idk

(I assume he does)

[crimson basin]

yeah

[haughty anvil]

Sad

His plugins were so good

[crimson basin]

showing the three

cause i messed up the r g b values on the 4th one lol

thats the first two colours from the left

i think i need to blend the bottom 3 a little more

[fossil crystal]

Im gonna post my plugin on the forum instead

mods are on vacation

[fossil crystal]

The pools on top of the buildings looks sus

The shape of the rooftop and the positioning of the pool hmmm

[crimson basin]

smh

youre sus

i dont like roof decor that much

i dont like making them

but they look pretty when everyone else does it

[crimson basin]

*the water moves ✨ *

[fossil crystal]

Just add boxes and lines
And you're good

[muted pecan]

do i need to add <br> tags into my .manifest description for line breaks/paragraph separation, or can i just use the enter key?

btw, does a draft override require privileged creator permissions?

[midnight obsidian]

you use \n for new lines

[keen swallow]

many things coming in my lines plugin new update

my idea is to transform this #plugin-showcase message into a mega pack

[muted pecan]

tyy

[muted pecan]

what do the repeated frame defs in the tree json mean?

is there any significance to the whitespace, how the duplicate frames are clustered?

[muted pecan]

also, another question came up when i was inspecting the roads .json: what does “silent frame” syntax do?

[static pollen]

wondering how people live under the pool

[midnight obsidian]

Spongebob

[rain gate]

oh

[muted pecan]

can animations have winter frames?

also, can frame stealing be used on winter frames?

[crimson basin]

they dont

that level is for all the water supplies

so like the filter and stuff

[lavish hinge]

can someone teach me how make code for cars so that my cars can override the vanilla cars?

ive been scrolling through the forum all day long but still dont understand

[rain gate]

are there any moon plugins

[regal python]

It’s impossible to create ingame moon plugins

[rain gate]

oh aight

[regal python]

but if you plan on creating your OWN non-vanilla version of the moon… there are tonnes

[rain gate]

bus

[warm spruce]

nice bus

[uncut acorn]

Nice buses

[muted pecan]

i finally got all the typos out of my json ayyy

[uncut acorn]

No one is making the people in water decorations...

plugin

[crimson basin]

funny bobbling heads

[paper river]

Cool

[dreamy hearth]

looks like smth I could improve lol

[fossil crystal]

Its now my time to shine
time to improve this

[crimson basin]

isnt that top left corner technically outside the baseplate?

[muted pecan]

ughh i tried to use the tree winter frames from the world texture in the animations and it just broke the plugin when i tested winter :^) it’s almost 3am so i’m not gonna bother fixing it now besides manually removing the attempted winter frames

[autumn nova]

Can someone teach me how to do building drafts?

you know, some people before colouring a building they does that
like this
#plugin-discussion message

[paper river]

That's a sketch

I do this to make sure the shape is right before coloring and texture

[autumn nova]

i see

[dreamy hearth]

Speedran it for an hour and this is what I got

as for the ground, I'd rather let people use the town square ground or brick ground texture for better accuracy

[autumn nova]

The windows... are you gona improve them?

[crimson basin]

you sure the ground shadow is right?

[urban grove]

Nice remake but there's still alot of missing space on the back.

[dreamy hearth]

Time for me to research what was behind it

[dreamy hearth]

I think it is

[crimson basin]

it doesnt look right to me, but maybe im imagining that

[dreamy hearth]

do u think the shadow opacity should be higher or lower?

[autumn nova]

i think it's right

[crimson basin]

i was thinking more the shape

[dreamy hearth]

Ahhh

[crimson basin]

let me see though

[dreamy hearth]

check DMs

Honestly for better accuracy I would rather split this into 2 2x2s

[crimson basin]

id move it to the back tbh, its a bit odd to have it so far out front

[dreamy hearth]

I'll make 2 versions:

• split 2x2
• building at the center

[midnight obsidian]

it's like that because otherwise the shadow would go out of frame

[crimson basin]

didnt mean that

kind of the back corner shadow

itll start at the blue line, wont it?

[dreamy hearth]

ohhh actually yeah I can see it now thanks

[crimson basin]

diminishing shadow 🥺

[dreamy hearth]

moving it to the center however fixes it

[crimson basin]

ye

[urban grove]

Yea so you could add some trees at the front maybe a side parking.

[crimson basin]

why not move it all the way to the back?

[urban grove]

Hmm idk i kinda like it being in the center

[dreamy hearth]

In that case I'll just release it in my server (while crediting the original creator ofc)

[autumn nova]

Can I also remake some?

[urban grove]

.

[crimson basin]

i wanna make something that doesnt take me forever to make 😭

[paper nebula]

Bruh why my plugin files not showing up in my plugin browser

[crimson basin]

were they forum plugins?

[rain gate]

mine is gonna take forever 😀

[crimson basin]

i know what my problem is

and its not getting fixed unless i fix it anddd

i dont feel like it

[misty pawn]

People decor xd

[crimson basin]

oh yeah that park

ill finish it, some day

im motivated to make stuff but not finish them

[paper nebula]

Yes

[crimson basin]

probably because they dont have manifest files, try checking the local plugins menu in the plugin download thing in app

[paper nebula]

They don't no

Already checked

Very smart in that case

Cus they event submissions 💀

[crimson basin]

lol

god

this tutorial 💀

rtobby

pls make youtube tutorials

theres not enough 😭

[crimson basin]

and look how bad this is

[rain gate]

@crimson basin i can give it a try

[crimson basin]

@midnight obsidian

look at that house floating in water

[midnight obsidian]

stop

stop

no

do not!!!

my eyes hurt

[frigid tusk]

it's more "Theotown horrible things creator + Depression for good creators maker"

[crimson basin]

the plugin creator website is pretty limited

but it gets things done for simple stuff

[urban grove]

Omg what is this. What am i looking at? This looks really bad not trying to hate the person who made the video but like this look really bad like really bad

[indigo mica]

It Looks Like A Cardboard Box With A Roof

[urban grove]

The fourth one is the only good one (not really still looks bad) but the rest? God awful

[frigid tusk]

we have to send an army

[crimson basin]

i mean even 4 looks kinda bad 😅
this was 4 years ago though soo

[frigid tusk]

this is possible to make a 16x16 plugin in one plugin, not in 4 8x8?

[autumn nova]

no way

[autumn nova]

yes it should be possible

[frigid tusk]

hmmm nice

[static pollen]

you can even make it bigger than 16×16 but the game won't make the plugin work

[frigid tusk]

cause i had an idea

hint: 🌐 🏢 🏜️

[crimson basin]

dubai

[echo prairie]

@lunar snow it's possible to do that by downloading music and then adding it to "music" folder, no?

[crimson basin]

also isnt that stuff copyrighted?

[echo prairie]

Even if it is

What will happen, mozart will wake up from his grave to copyright strike me?

[crimson basin]

no mozarts stuff is in the public domain now it seems

still doesnt seem right to distribiute it as a plugin seeing as whoever is making it a plugin isnt putting much work into it

[crimson basin]

no but the plugin mods will

[lunar snow]

i know but imagine a music pack plugin that you can download

[echo prairie]

Also

I don't think music plugin is possible

[lunar snow]

ye probably

[crimson basin]

im pretty sure someone had some music files in their plugin

[midnight obsidian]

lua file which inserts music into music folder

[lunar snow]

so insane

[echo prairie]

Anyways

[crimson basin]

rtobby

[echo prairie]

I'm still waiting until @lunar snow releases kazakhstan plugin

[midnight obsidian]

what

i'm eating french toast rn

[frigid tusk]

french

you summoned me

[crimson basin]

rate this suggestion for you to do this

[midnight obsidian]

lost bread

[midnight obsidian]

0/10

[frigid tusk]

parfait

[midnight obsidian]

i do not have enough motivation nor software for that

[crimson basin]

sad

now to bribe kulche instead

[lunar snow]

real

@midnight obsidian check out this guy

[frigid tusk]

nop

[midnight obsidian]

wow

[lunar snow]

sáme

[unkempt pier]

Hi

[midnight obsidian]

hi

[autumn nova]

hello

[lunar snow]

hi

[crimson basin]

Cool, but i recommend against posting raw files since someone might teal it

the right side could use a bit more contrast

[copper egret]

Thx

[rain gate]

dawh what about me 😭

[crimson basin]

sure you can make one

[rain gate]

oop

alr

idk what to make doe

[crimson basin]

a simple 2 story building

[autumn nova]

new vs old?
4h of hard work and there are still details to add😥😫

[dim thorn]

Good

[muted pecan]

nice

how do you make frame stealing target the winter frames of a building?

[rain gate]

rip plugin space lmao

[fossil crystal]

Excellently done!
I love it

[crimson basin]

how do you make balconies?

actually wait ill rephrae that

actually hold on, i dont know what i am asking

[orchid sorrel]

???????/

delusional

[rain gate]

delusional? I was delusional once

[crimson basin]

does the balcony look okay?

[rain gate]

maybe remove the random dark grey dot

[orchid sorrel]

random dot?

[autumn nova]

the grey ones?
I would add bright grey on the top

[orchid sorrel]

looks good to me

that "dark grey dot" should be the same color as the leftmost wall/railing/whatever

and yes, give the top a highlight

[crimson basin]

the windows should have a lighter highlight at the top?

[orchid sorrel]

who said anything about windows

[autumn nova]

it's your choice

[crimson basin]

which one did you mean by top then?

[orchid sorrel]

top of the railings

they look flat

[crimson basin]

ooh yeah

okay got it

and this grey dot same colour as the one on top right

[orchid sorrel]

refering to ingame buildings is a good practise

[crimson basin]

in game buildings are also weirdly thrown into huge sheets with so much empty space that i can barely find anything

[orchid sorrel]

skill issue

[haughty anvil]

Wow this is cool

[crimson basin]

how come railings in game are as tall as a human?

[orchid sorrel]

the lower one is 2.5 px

sounds acceptable to me?

[crimson basin]

how can it be 0.5?

[orchid sorrel]

what???

[haughty anvil]

I think its good

[crimson basin]

you said 2.5 how is there a .5

[orchid sorrel]

because it's an alternating pattern of 2 and 3?

[crimson basin]

ohhh

was wondering what that was about

[orchid sorrel]

(for your reference, those are ingame buildings)

[unkempt pier]

Hi

[haughty anvil]

I love some ingame buildings

[orchid sorrel]

I'm glad

[crimson basin]

like this?

[orchid sorrel]

very short

but yes

[autumn nova]

good night people

[crimson basin]

night sc4

[haughty anvil]

[midnight obsidian]

[crimson basin]

[orchid sorrel]
