@heavy oyster plugin suggestions should not be about someone making an AI program to draw what you want. Please take the time and effect to learn to draw assets properly like everyone else has here, thanks

[heavy oyster]

How could I make my own plugin that I just suggested what do I need to make my plugin that I've suggested.

[static sandal]

I know

xD

[thin wraith]

if you want to make plugins check pinned messages

[lavish hinge]

"draw ground":true,

[static sandal]

ye

It’s only test

[lavish hinge]

oh

the bus looks good tho

[strange cloud]

Preferably you can add:

"car tail":["$carnull00"]

For the bus,since it's long for average sized road vehicles in theotown.

Latin American favelas

❤️ = I love it
❌ I hate it massively

[quasi hornet]

Hm

Wait, did you posted that plugin already?

Cable Car or idk

[static sail]

Finally, some good favelas

[static sandal]

Yep

[urban grove]

Cool, it would be nice if you make a zone of it

[crimson basin]

hey @left gale, arent you making something like this? #plugin-suggestions message

Most cable-bus transportation is for those areas.

I'm from Latin America, and well…

[orchid scroll]

why r u remaking it

[rain gate]

Hi, does anyone know what the name of the fog plugin is called?

[static sandal]

Will there be many plugins to approve?

What does it take to be a store moderator? qwq

[runic reef]

you shouid make la paz el alto and bogota houses to go with the cable car

[uncut acorn]

Because I was wondering that the original size of the in game is 3x3

Plus I also like remaking landmarks or others

[uncut acorn]

And I’ve been also thinking that I’m going to remake it and to make it bigger to make the size of 5x5

[runic reef]

bogota?

[static sandal]

Maybe

Hola

[uncut acorn]

Cool

[uncut acorn]

Also I won’t release it in plugin store

[paper river]

I think it's one of the decals included in this https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=14696

Lovely

[crimson basin]

lemme reply to that guy then, thanks haraya

[warm spruce]

Will ya make some square ones? Like rocinha

[crimson basin]

@weak kestrel yes we can say in the channel if a plugin like the suggestion exists

you dont have to ping evan and ask

Thats one of the things we can say in the channel

[outer elk]

oh i need this

[oblique tundra]

I think they should be separated plugins

[crimson basin]

i agree

[summer kestrel]

Sick

[crimson basin]

Nah, its pretty healthy :)

[summer kestrel]

...

[quasi hornet]

#plugin-suggestions message what the heck

[runic reef]

i was suggesting traffic lights with 3 lights instead of 1

[crimson basin]

...whats the difference?

[crimson basin]

i dont see your point here

youre saying harayas one is the second?

[runic reef]

yes

[crimson basin]

if thats the case the first one would be oversized

red, yellow green

[static sandal]

ye

[crimson basin]

thats human sized

[runic reef]

it’s not that oversized

[crimson basin]

doesnt sway from the fact that it is over sized

i would say appreciate what you got, hope someone makes what you want

plugin creators tend to do their own thing so

if you want to do that, feel free to do so

[crimson basin]

i love those <3

you know

it kind of reminds me of my how when i was younger

we used to have those rusty looking tin roofs

it just brings back childhood memories for me

[runic reef]

the dream of southern south american cities (not brazilian styled) is slowly becoming a reality

[static sandal]

maybe I will make more plugins from Latin America

[crimson basin]

please do

i am loving the tin roofs

especially the multiple story ones!

[crimson basin]

okay

good for you i suppose

[static sandal]

The forum section for uploading plugins doesn't work?

I tried but the page not working

[crimson basin]

what happens?

[static sandal]

Oh wait

It’s working again

[urban grove]

Oversized?

[runic reef]

bogota is finallyin theotown

[crimson basin]

yes a human is 3 pixel tall, thats one tall ttraffic light

[runic reef]

well the lakan one is too wide then

it’s the width of like 5 humans

[urban grove]

Then how do you make accurate size traffic lights? That's not 3 pixels tall

[runic reef]

i guess the traffic lights are not accurate 🤷‍♂️

[gilded current]

no way diagonal lights???

[carmine tulip]

Who knows the name of this ?

[echo prairie]

It's... not?

[echo prairie]

@orchid sorrel @midnight obsidian need your thoughts, is it oversized?

[midnight obsidian]

Guh let me eat breakfast

To be fair it looks normal

There isn't much other way to convey traffic lights without them being oversized

[lavish hinge]

isnt there a way to make something with 0.5 pixel?

[urban grove]

Snowball somehow makes a 0.5 pixel

[midnight obsidian]

Yeah that stuff is like magic to me

Idk how they did that

[lavish hinge]

wait theres actually a plugin with 0.5 pixels?

[urban grove]

Ye

[lavish hinge]

what plugin?

[lavish hinge]

ah

imma check it rq

Opinions?

[carmine hemlock]

[echo prairie]

But still, the fact that it isn't oversized remains

[crimson basin]

he stated it is didnt he

i mean its not overly oversized but scale wise, its taller than me 😭

[echo prairie]

No...

[echo prairie]

[static sandal]

That is transport?

[quasi frigate]

I have camouflaged them

[quasi hornet]

#plugin-suggestions message
#plugin-showcase message
@rough spindle

[orchid sorrel]

a bit, though not something too bad

ingame traffic lights are 3 px high as well

[urban grove]

Androx you're becoming the next vönark, you've made so many plugins recently. What's going on?

[orchid sorrel]

the vertical ones rae definitely bad

I also don't like the 5 px one

[oblique tundra]

Is it weird to find these favelas beautiful? Lol

[midnight compass]

Where did u get this stone decal on the slopes?

[midnight compass]

I can’t get off the feeling that the bus wheels are too small. Especially when I look at the rear wheel. /

[urban grove]

Because they kinda are beautiful

[quasi hornet]

Good afternoon

[urban grove]

Woah

[midnight compass]

The Tower roof and the foundation look different from the original.

[quasi hornet]

I don't care

It looks good anyways

[midnight compass]

Then why did you do it at all. Lol )

[quasi hornet]

Because yes

[midnight compass]

It looks good but the original roof is better. The cone is narrower and higher, and finished with the beautiful spire.

[quasi hornet]

Well

I can make it better in future, perhaps

[midnight compass]

Oh, u can. I hope you’ll find the energy to fix St Pancras Station rotation. I don’t understand guys who make beautiful plugins but leave them unfinished.

[quasi hornet]

I'm just lazy

[midnight compass]

Not enough lazy to stop making new plugins. )

[quasi hornet]

I'm painter. My melancholy isn't too long but it is enough for making plugins. Ah, damn, can you write to me russian at private messages? My English is so bad

[midnight compass]

I can. But I don’t like to talk or write in Russian. You sound being close to bipolar disorder )

[quasi hornet]

Why did you wrote this

It isn't cultured

[midnight compass]

A bit toxic? Ok, I won’t do that again.

[quasi hornet]

Alright

[carmine tulip]

So when we can get this masterpiece?

[quasi hornet]

When i'll make other buildings. I want to make +- 20 objects from our Ivano-Frankivsk historical centre

So i made 3 already

[carmine tulip]

oh good btw it looks completely gorgeous. Could fit well in the project I have in mind

[quasi hornet]

Thanks a million

[carmine tulip]

Whats the app you use?

For plugin creating

[quasi hornet]

Pixly and QuickEdit

[carmine tulip]

Thx sm I didn't know them thx

[quasi hornet]

👍

[midnight compass]

I’m stuck. Dunno which shadows are better: the mild ones or the strong.

[crimson basin]

mild

the shadows arent as prevalent in vanilla game as the dark one

[midnight compass]

Vanilla. I’m kinda vanilla lover. Great. Didn’t know.

[glad lynx]

clean

[static sandal]

Add winter friends

[midnight compass]

I can add winter but most of the plugins don’t have it. Thus little sense to do that.

[misty pawn]

Rotations and night frames

[midnight compass]

That’s kinda mandatory for every good plug-in

[static sandal]

Add autumn frames

[misty pawn]

Lmao

[rain gate]

U keep gettin better and better huh

[quasi hornet]

♥️

And it will be better soon

[static sandal]

Next ploogin

[midnight compass]

There is a trolley bus plug-in in the shop. Never tried.

[static sandal]

But

[midnight compass]

Where is it? A bit outdated kind of transportation. It Should be cheaper than railways

[static sandal]

Elevated trolleybus

[static sandal]

A or B

[urban grove]

What about both?

[static sandal]

Hmmm

May be

Maybe

I try to make diagonal parts

[midnight compass]

Is it all rotation aware???

[static sandal]

Yea!

Everything

[urban grove]

Great now add night, diagonal, and snow frame.

[static sandal]

Never

Only diagonal

Octagonal frames

[static sail]

oooo you wanna add night and snow frame ooooooooo

||don't take it serious, i'm messing around with ya||

[runic reef]

your out here becoming vönark

[sharp kettle]

looks nice

[runic reef]

[static sandal]

Never

I hate winter frames 💀

7-Eleven Jeonghoe 1-dong Branch (Virtual Building)

[carmine tulip]

Guys I made my first plugin and it was hell of a mess

Lmao

But wait I actually fixed it

[frigid tusk]

The texture is too blurry
You should fix it

[static sandal]

Added poles and peatonal street lights

[carmine tulip]

Like this?

Also should add some shadows maybe

[frigid tusk]

Yeah you de it 👍 (that was fast tho)

[quasi hornet]

Very good. Theotown need more diagonal European buildings actually

[carmine tulip]

Yeah noticed that too

[carmine tulip]

Thank u so much

[uncut acorn]

You just switched graphics

[carmine tulip]

Lmao

added more shadows and some color fixes

[quasi hornet]

Great but also add a half-shadow on this diagonal side

I mean

Not too dark but still a shadow

If you making shadows 30% of black - a diagonal part should be 15%

[carmine tulip]

I'll try. So the diagonal side should be darker than the front side? Right?

[quasi hornet]

Yeah

[carmine tulip]

I thought it already was

[quasi hornet]

Well, the shadow is too brightly now

[static pollen]

The roof should have better tiles effect

[carmine tulip]

Already on it thx

[static sandal]

Diagonal rotation aware

[carmine tulip]

Thoughts?

[crimson basin]

looks much better now compared to the 1st

[carmine tulip]

The first one was literally a crime

[crimson basin]

fr

[carmine tulip]

Any other fix?

[quasi hornet]

Chimneys.

Where are they

[static sandal]

Bi-articulated

[static sandal]

A long term project

[urban grove]

Those wheels are so tiny

[midnight compass]

I like this one, before the fix. I dunno why u decided to change it. U could just make windows blue instead of black. And it would be good.

[midnight compass]

The right side of the roof. Make it \

[midnight compass]

Leave these open arches on the ground floor. They are so beautiful. And the passage with columns on the second. They make the building unique.

[urban grove]

Or make a variant that has those open arches

[midnight compass]

There is something wrong with the concrete parts but I don’t know what. Im struggling with concrete textures. Not sure they are cool. Make em darker or what?

[urban grove]

Is the bridge gonna be this horrible red or is it temporary?

[midnight compass]

Your avatar D is of the same horrible color. I’m gonna make it in three colours: red, dark green, dark blue. Which shade of red would you prefer?

[rain gate]

lmao

[urban grove]

Uhh dark red?

[midnight compass]

Show it. It’s hard for me to find the colour cuz I’m no painter.

[urban grove]

You know you can just search it on Google

[midnight compass]

Also there is a huge difference in colour representation between my PC where I make the bridge and the mobile device with TheoTown. Its very hard to switch between them. So color matching becomes a struggle.

[midnight compass]

This is what I choose in my photoshop.

[midnight compass]

And this is what a game gives out.

[urban grove]

No like does the bridge actually look like this? (The color) i don't really like those yellow cables

[quasi frigate]

that bridge reminds me of openttd

[midnight compass]

There is no real bridge like that. The cables can be of any colour like as the bridge itself.

[gentle marsh]

That's a big project here

The good thing is that being modular, you can create other things

[static sandal]

Yess

And everything have rotation aware

[static sandal]

;-;

It’s covered

[carmine tulip]

Here they are

I finished 2/3 parts

[carmine tulip]

It's modulable

[carmine tulip]

Thanks for the idea. I'll remake the old version keeping important details

[quasi hornet]

Excellent

Do you make other parts?

[crimson basin]

interesting

[gentle marsh]

I'm looking forward to it

[midnight compass]

Perhaps that’s just my photoshop skills that suck cuz I’m a nab. This one is less bluish. @urban grove is this color better?

[dusty hill]

what? are you doing it in Photoshop?

[midnight compass]

Is it prohibited?

[midnight compass]

Oh yea. Bigger wheels. One more pixel maybe?;)

[echo moon]

What is the name of this lighting lamp?

Did you try to combine the far side of the roof from the 2nd pic and the close side from the 1st pic ? It might look better

@uncut acorn another answer to your Q

[uncut acorn]

Uh no actually

[forest grove]

Now I know this is more of a plug-in suggestion type post but, if a Zoning map was actually a in-game thing. Would it be a W or L plugin

[quasi hornet]

So we have a categories; suburbs(i'll fix them); city buildings.

Well

I will make more III buildings

And i'll change icons because they're not so good as i want

[static sandal]

It’s separated plugin

[uncut acorn]

Ooh

[static sandal]

Whatever is necessary

[dusty hill]

still remind me of sergio

[midnight compass]

I know nothing about the way of life there. Do these house have a separate door? Is it on the backside which is not seen? The only way you can keep rectangular proportions is to split the building in two. And, ofc, you’ll have to make it rotation aware. If so, you got a place to draw a big yard which is so natural to have if u live in such a tiny house.

[midnight compass]

Oh please make it fully replace the in game buses. Ur Colors look much more natural than the basic ones.

[fervent glacier]

I'm trying to replace ingame buses, with real life mainly seen buses on north luzon region

[midnight compass]

I hope u succeed. Cuz every time I see those ingame buses, I feel an urge to redraw them.

[fervent glacier]

Yeah , I'm trying to recreate it with spawner and terminals

does anyone know some cool looking trees

no promises i'll make it but i could try

[crimson basin]

actually hm

i could make chestnut trees

since they're some of my favorite trees

[crimson basin]

hmm

who named them chest nut trees

[midnight obsidian]

i dunno but i love these trees

felt cute, thought i'd make some chestnut tree icon or something

wait i effed up the leaves

[crimson basin]

its adorable

[midnight obsidian]

there we go

a lot more accurate

[midnight compass]

In my country they look more like very tall bushes. They don’t have a main stem, but grow very high as I remember. 6-8m

[midnight obsidian]

Here in lithuania they're just like normal trees

But they look really nice when they're leafy, especially when blooming in spring

And it's fun to play with the conkers during autumn

[crimson basin]

are they acorns

[static sandal]

I’ll have time to redesign the cable car

With new textures

Join in my server

[midnight obsidian]

They're seeds yes, but they're in no way acorns

[weak kestrel]

Make more, you make too good... plugins

[brittle aurora]

Is there a plugin that adds additional fire trucks? Like ladder or just Battalion Chief cars

[midnight compass]

@quasi frigate I’m not about rotation or diagonality. The walls inside the real buildings don’t give the windows to be placed like bricks. In most cases they are vertically aligned in groups. U can see that in the original building. While the “reworked” building lost this architectural basic.

[midnight obsidian]

no wind frames?

[uncut acorn]

Ummm 🤔

I'd like to see someone do one with cars and trains coming to and from town. It's annoying that that was never thought of before. I have empty space on my highways, roads and rails on the map border. To me it's more realistic to have that happening

@daring skiff I have Facebook

[crimson basin]

its also pinned on this channel

[quaint wing]

Oh ok

[echo moon]

What does this code mean and how? please explain, i don't understand something like this
"count":2,"h":45,"w":64

[orchid sorrel]

2 frames, each of size 64x45

[echo moon]

how to know that?

[orchid sorrel]

???

[echo moon]

Usually some json code plugins have w and h, but the singgle frame plugin doesn't have that.

[orchid sorrel]

yeah?

that's the point

to define multiple frames

[static sandal]

w: define the width of frame
h: define the height of frame

Technically is the size of you imagen/frame

count: define the total frames

This maybe is

[next harbor]

I want to turn this house into a plugin

[orchid sorrel]

drawing it would be a great first step

[next harbor]

Can anyone explain the process? I messed around with this image but can't really suceed

[next harbor]

I can redraw it but I realy dont know the dimensions etc

[orchid sorrel]

you don't need to know the dimensions

it's a pixel art game

[next harbor]

Wdym

[orchid sorrel]

I don't get where's your issue

[crimson basin]

eyeball it

[kindred tide]

Just try until you succeed

[next harbor]

Is there any sample example you guys have?

2x2

[crimson basin]

the green base?

[orchid sorrel]

you have the 1x1 one, just copy paste it

[echo moon]

ooh thnkyou so much

[midnight compass]

I see that the angles are almost similar to ingame. The size too. The blue square is close to 2x2 format. With the green square - 3x3. But you can’t just copy paste someone else’s design, it’d be a copyright infringement and its a serious offence. You’ll have to rework the building. It looks like a stylisation of an ancient Roman house. You could make it a part of a park or museum facilities.

[midnight compass]

Cool. I can’t leave the ground floor. You glassed it. Looks nice. It could be offered for rent. Convenient for shops, boutiques, cafes or boulangerie. You can make it there. It would make your city look lively. Also you could take of glass and draw a free passageway there - dark corridor, shadowed by the columns and a view on the shady wall inside this gallery - like in the original building. The colours of the building look nice, vivid and fresh, better than the original imho.

[rain gate]

Do yall know a plugin for more realistic residental, commercial and industry zones, because only 38 people live in a 10 floor building which is bs

[neat lance]

Anyone know that bridge plugin where the road doesnt need to go up

[crimson basin]

a lot of plugins let game automatically calculate that

[echo moon]

Does anyone have,or message hopping a 1x1 tile template version 3 count?

[kindred tide]

#plugin-discussion message

@echo moon is that what you're looking for?

[echo moon]

yes

[echo moon]

how to make 1x1 tiles, which counts frame, I've downloaded the 1x1 normal tile

[kindred tide]

@echo moon You mean like a 1X3/1X2?

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

[echo moon]

yes, I made it manually tile it

[kindred tide]

How to make 3X3s?

[crimson basin]

you cant actually do it like that cause jsons require the height and width to be the same iirc

though there is a way to do that

[echo moon]

Alright

[crimson basin]

you should send that in #plugin-suggestions

[stoic palm]

As Bunny said.

#plugin-suggestions

[crimson basin]

hes got his timer going tho so need to wait 50 or so minutes

[night parrot]

I have already posted one

[stoic palm]

So then wait

Like everyone else does

[night parrot]

Ok

[paper river]

Fischauktionshalle

[rotund haven]

Is there anyone here who can help me?

[static sandal]

Hmmm

Try

“x”:16

Or

4

[rotund haven]

Where?

[static sandal]

handle y: 53

Try

Well, that determines the height of where your frame will be.

In this case I think it would be 8

[rotund haven]

the fence doesn't appear

[static sandal]

Try increase the number

0+ up frame
0- down frame

[quasi hornet]

Wнеи иеw рlugiиs

[quasi hornet]

Political coordinates

[lavish hinge]

this sounds weird to those who can read cyrillic

[quasi hornet]

Yeah "Wnei iew riugiis" it's something

So When new plugins

[lavish hinge]

yesterday

[quasi hornet]

Yesterday was yesterday

Today we have today. Then today should to has a new plugins

[runic reef]

erm.. that’s not english 🥸

please use language bar

[lavish hinge]

yeah, but he treated it like english letters

shut up

[runic reef]

vienna house

[static sandal]

Make buenos aires house

[neat lake]

Big

[quasi hornet]

Just a house

Danzig

Danzk*

So was you making a European houses?

Yeah actually

When will you post it

[left gale]

This is true for handle x and handle y

[static sandal]

Finally

[misty pawn]

Train but on road

Yepee

[static sandal]

I think this is ridiculous

[dapper light]

This put Australia road train to shame

[runic reef]

i was making european houses months ago but i never got around to finishing them

[cold pulsar]

Reminds me of snakeybus expect now it's in TheoTown

[quasi frigate]

i love it

@static sandal can u pls make this livery too

[static sandal]

Sure, but let me finish the plugin base

[quasi frigate]

thanks<3

[rain snow]

and this also?

It's from my city

[quasi frigate]

Thank you

It looks perfect

[static sandal]

Yea

[dusty hill]

the Nature + pack has the same problem

maybe it's by new update

[orchid sorrel]

yes it will be fixed

[dusty hill]

arl

[orchid sorrel]

actually it's already fixed

just not in beta yet

[dusty hill]

ok

i'll wait for it

[quasi hornet]

So.
Now i was added a new category with II buildings (rate icons btw) and, of course, made a first building. A small corner building

Well, also i was changed these icons

Some

[crimson basin]

i really like the first one

second and third not so much

[quasi hornet]

Why?

[crimson basin]

im not sure, i just dont like the design

i just like the feel of the borders on the forst one

[quasi hornet]

Right

However, i will working with it

Thanks anyway

[quasi hornet]

Ah also i will make these buildings from Ivano-Frankivsk(perhaps)

[midnight compass]

I have a hard time constraining myself from asking about a rotation awareness. Really hard 😅

[potent geyser]

Excuse me

[quasi hornet]

You're excused

[potent geyser]

Will anyone have a 10x10 or similar size frame?

[orchid sorrel]

can't you just copy paste it together yourself

[quasi hornet]

It's 5x5. I'm hope you know how to make it 10x10

[echo moon]

What is the use of the ordinal code, to sort what?, please explain thankyou

[potent geyser]

I would do it but I haven't had time to look for a 1x1 or similar

[potent geyser]

I will do what I can, thank you

[orchid sorrel]

they are all in the pins

[quasi hornet]

Btw, what did you needed this huge baseplate? Perhaps, you want to make a really big thing

[potent geyser]

Good point

[potent geyser]

For a colossal structure that I have been thinking about for a long time

Something Futuristic

[orchid sorrel]

probably will eat most of your plugin space

[quasi hornet]

Are you beginner?

[orchid sorrel]

but go ahead

[potent geyser]

In Plugin creation, a little, but in terms of Pixel Art I already have a lot of experience

[quasi hornet]

Well, i wouldn't to recommend you make a huge building if are you beginner

But if you want...

[potent geyser]

I'm ambitious xd

Also, I was experimenting with some designs before

[quasi hornet]

Then good luck

[potent geyser]

For example, this

[potent geyser]

[orchid sorrel]

jesus

that's enormous

please use animations 😩

[orchid sorrel]

that makes it even worse

plugin space begone

[potent geyser]

Because?

[orchid sorrel]

because it takes a huge amount of plugin texture space?

[potent geyser]

Mmmmmmm

I don't really know 🙃

[lavish hinge]

looks like a sword sheathing

and rip texture space

[potent geyser]

I was inspired by a Cutter that I found on my desk while I was drawing xd

[lavish hinge]

ah

[potent geyser]

Because?

[lavish hinge]

jus look how tall it is man

and still got night frame

[potent geyser]

That's bad?

[lavish hinge]

well more pixel = more texture space needed = more loading time

have mercy for us mobile users

[potent geyser]

You do know that I do everything from a mobile phone, right?

[orchid sorrel]

how is that relevant?

[potent geyser]

Also the space plugin (which is more futuristic than space itself) will only be large in its base

[orchid sorrel]

you're just wasting a lot of potential space for other plugins with a rather mediocre boring tower honestly

[lavish hinge]

may i give a comment to the skyscraper rq?

[orchid sorrel]

I'd recommend doing something smaller, more detailed and realistic

[potent geyser]

Yes

[lavish hinge]

i think this needs to be fixed

[potent geyser]

I tried

They didn't approve it

[orchid sorrel]

yeah of course your first plugin won't be ideal

[potent geyser]

Although I think I'll try other things

[potent geyser]

It's not the first xd

[orchid sorrel]

then try, try and try again

[potent geyser]

I know, although I didn't plan to climb the tower, it was more of a personal experiment.

[potent geyser]

Okay

[lavish hinge]

ah

[potent geyser]

Mmmmmm, I think I know what I'll do, I fine-tuned my Textures by the way.

Small buildings (2x2-3x3) Futuristic

Like those from Old Mombasa

[orchid sorrel]

you do you

[potent geyser]

Time to experiment

In addition to seeing if they approve this one, (I honestly doubt it)

[orchid sorrel]

looks pretty oversized

but the graphics themselves are okay i think

[potent geyser]

It's a 2x2

[orchid sorrel]

yes I realised

[potent geyser]

I remembered the guy who made a Plugin of a mountain that was a 24x24

[orchid sorrel]

yeah it does exist somewhere

[potent geyser]

You can never try it, because the two times I tried it my phone restarted xd, It's been so many years since that

[lavish hinge]

i never knew there was a plugin for something that big

[urban grove]

Reminds me of those old plugins on the forum, anyway. Rip plugin space 💀

@chilly salmon didn't you already suggested that?

[weak kestrel]

Wooow this is so tall 😱

[urban grove]

Aren't fighter jets pretty huge? Ik there are some small ones

[orchid sorrel]

honestly idk

but they still look somewhat large?

[quasi frigate]

i think they are pretty small

[urban grove]

They look pretty big but not all fighter jets are the same

[quasi frigate]

that's interesting to know

[stoic palm]

@coarse ice please use this channel to discuss your plugin

[coarse ice]

Ок

does this have a future?

[crimson basin]

anything has a future if youre willing to put in the effort to improve it

[coarse ice]

ready

[crimson basin]

Genuinely, looks good for a first try

You can check out pins or look at in game graphics for ideas

[coarse ice]

🆗

[crimson basin]

i probably would remove the dark areas on the left side because it seems a little odd, run over it with some 90% opacity of the base colour

[coarse ice]

Ок

[crimson basin]

For colour inspiration, i think a palette similar to this will suit it

[coarse ice]

it'll do?

[coarse ice]

Okay

[crimson basin]

I didnt mean that part

i meant this part

[coarse ice]

Sorry

[crimson basin]

nah no worries

also i got to get to my studies so ill reply to you once im done

[coarse ice]

It's time for me to go to bed

[crimson basin]

Alright, sleep tight

[dusty hill]

Polish houses:

[quasi hornet]

Poland has panel-houses?

[dusty hill]

yup

[crimson basin]

polish square houses apparently

or something like that

[potent geyser]

Mmmmm

[agile forum]

Case #3941

koko pop#1069 was banned for the following reason: Posting or spreading offensive content or hate-speech.

[quasi hornet]

Damn... They looks worse than i'm thought... Definitely aren't similar.

Maybe i'll delete it

[outer elk]

just try make some color variants

i think it looks good

[potent geyser]

Well, there it goes

[quasi hornet]

I ain't making just a "good" plugins like beginners. I making a historical architecture. Not a good beautiful pretty houses for small girls which gonna build a sunny pink city with them

Thank you but it ain't my standart

[crimson basin]

lmao (the small girls and pink city part)

[quasi hornet]

||I hope i didn't any grammatical wrongs||

[crimson basin]

i mean, aint isnt exactly grammetically correct but its really just slang at this point so id say its fine.
it isn't (is not) my standard would be the correct one, but again, no one here really cares about that

[crimson basin]

and same thing here, would be I'm not making

[quasi frigate]

Looks nice

[quasi hornet]

No, it looks bad

[quasi frigate]

well then it looks suck

[urban grove]

What are you talking about? It looks really nice

[quasi hornet]

I was already wrote why

[lavish hinge]

the line russian version

still wip?

[quasi lotus]

Why?

[urban grove]

In the Philippines road pack i think some roads only allowed certain vehicles

Or that could just be the ai (not a very good one)

[quasi lotus]

I used road that allow all vehicles,but vehicles are Lost,ill try to change roads maybe..

I used the 2 exterior roads to get lines

[green hollow]

That seems to be a thing for wide road plugins. Random cars just decided to drift through the entire row

[quasi lotus]

Coz i Can use One way road,but i wont get lines

[echo moon]

How do I uploud the plugin on the forum?

sorry plugin store

[potent geyser]

I'm almost done with it (I literally did it in a few minutes during my free time from work xd) How is it going?

[crimson basin]

press plugin store then upload

[echo moon]

thankss

What's wrong? pidroid pm me, after i uplouded the plugin

[crimson basin]

ah yes

the manifest file

its required now

[echo moon]

idk manifest

[crimson basin]

use pca for it

Ptag pca

[agile forum]

Plugin creator app (PCA) is a website to create plugins for the game using a UI interface.

It can be accessed at https://pca.svetikas.lt/

[echo moon]

okay i will try

[crimson basin]

download the manifest from there and drop it in your plugin folder

[crimson basin]

looks nice

[ivory mango]

thanks

[crimson basin]

mssing some shadows though

shadows here

and the little rods on the roof. equal shadow to theor height

[rustic ginkgo]

Looks like basic school in Russia

Very nice touch

[ivory mango]

there are shadows there, it's just a photo on the preview

[ivory mango]

Yes, it is a Russian school

[crimson basin]

ah

but youre missing shadow on the roof decor

[ivory mango]

Yes.. I understood

[rustic ginkgo]

Very nice, i need more education. I always trying to find Soviet building, but all i search almost weird

[ivory mango]

perhaps the next plugin will be a Soviet kindergarten

[rustic ginkgo]

Why not to make to be a one packed, like "Soviet School"
There have a many school when in Soviet Era. So any player doesn't need to download one of them, just one they get all

Practice

But it's just suggestions, don't think about it. Everything in your way, but your school i like it. So splendid

[dusty hill]

so much sovietic things

[wind crescent]

Can you give me a tutorial on installing the Age of Sail?

[dusty hill]

ehh

that update made that Dense Forest Biome and Nature + doesn't load

[orchid sorrel]

didn't I already tell you that it's fixed, like, yesterday

just update your game

[dusty hill]

i updated

[orchid sorrel]

to 11124?

[dusty hill]

ye, but game doesn't loaded the both plugins

[orchid sorrel]

and what's the error

[dusty hill]

maybe due to this error

[orchid sorrel]

division by zero lol

[dusty hill]

BRUH

[midnight obsidian]

I like it

It might be a bit lacking in detail but it's got a nice charm

[steel egret]

and that's good

wip

[midnight obsidian]

looks very nice

[livid agate]

what is bruvs resolution doin

[dusty hill]

wat

[orchid sorrel]

it happens to me too when I click the magic minimise all windows button

[echo prairie]

damn pidroid is mad at you

[dusty hill]

ok, we have another bug to fix...

[quasi lotus]

Hello,how does Cable-bus mod work plz? I cant Spawn cabins 😔

[static sandal]

Try to put the cable and the spawn on the floor

[quasi lotus]

What Spawn? There are like 6 spawns,each with 4 variants.. where should i put spawner?

[maiden raptor]

Some plugin suggestions

[frigid tusk]

uh?

[rustic ginkgo]

I'm sleeping, alright time for tea

[modern kestrel]

Anyway i think we need more Japan plugins

[rustic ginkgo]

I recommend for Japan agriculture, very nice and minimalist

[modern kestrel]

Nice

[urban grove]

There's already alot. We need African plugins

[rustic ginkgo]

Bro really said Africa plugin, but it's amazing if someone make it one packed

[modern kestrel]

I mean how much Buildings Africa have?

[echo prairie]

Millions

[modern kestrel]

Imagine a plugin contains mili buildings

[urban grove]

Bro the plugin space 💀

[rustic ginkgo]

No, billion

[echo prairie]

That'll be 937829 gigabytes

[rustic ginkgo]

I'm out

[modern kestrel]

Yeah im gonna steal IBM server lol

[urban grove]

That's bigger than maybe 100 AAA games or maybe even more

[rustic ginkgo]

Even NASA server will give up when Theotown has a plugin with those space

[modern kestrel]

Imagine Theotown with War update

[rustic ginkgo]

I love it, so Military has another function

💀

[modern kestrel]

Beside shoot Aliens and Friendly Fire each other

[urban grove]

That's nice

[rustic ginkgo]

Friendly fire 😂
That's when the Mayor get mad

[modern kestrel]

Me when i send 69 ICBM

[rustic ginkgo]

But I'll not talk about war, because when i wait for load my game there have a text " Peacenowar "

My honest reaction:
💀😹

[weak kestrel]

Yes Theo Town has a shortage of African plugins

[weak kestrel]

No, it's looks beautiful...

[shy apex]

Bro the African building plugins are almost 0 dude

[weak kestrel]

Yes no single African plugin..

[shy apex]

Like everytime I see it there's no African plugins except the African flags plugin

[weak kestrel]

Instead Africa have cool things as a plugin

[shy apex]

Yeah true

One plugin almost the showed the no no Germany flag

Almost showed*

[weak kestrel]

Like Nairobi, Cairo, South African cities skyscrapers

[shy apex]

Yeah

[weak kestrel]

I really love this

[quasi frigate]

i think we already have a lot of japan buildings

like dual said

we need some african buildings

[quasi frigate]

i mean like africa is not that underdeveloped☠️

[warped sleet]

Theotown 🗣️

[rotund haven]

does anyone understand what it means?

[thin wraith]

so real

[thin wraith]

a building in a plugin has an id that conflicts with another building

aka 2 buildings have the same id

[dusty hill]

ok

but

why does the Nature+ plugin won't load for me

[versed pike]

The game still have limited plugin space?

[crimson basin]

yes

[versed pike]

The same or they aumented it?

I dont played the game since some time

[crimson basin]

I dont think its changed

otherwose they would be adding more vanilla content instead of making them extentions

[ivory mango]

im really tired, im going to bed

[rotund haven]

just the same

[thin wraith]

you changed the category?

idrk

[carmine tulip]

Last design

[burnt bramble]

I may have found a permanent fix to this 🥺🥺

[lavish hinge]

wooh yeah

[burnt bramble]

still waiting for my bus lane update to be approved 😭😭

[rotund haven]

Yes

[rustic ginkgo]

@ivory mango you're amazing to build Russia Plugin, maybe i must to follow your masterpiece. I love it so much

[burnt bramble]

somewhat big update 💀💀

[left gale]

big texture space
