[lapis crystal]

thank you very much, good luck to you)

[dusty hill]

yup...

[sharp kettle]

One sec

[dusty hill]

i will need to make one more

but from this view

[lapis crystal]

try this

[crimson basin]

maybe you can like put a darkside here so the stairs look more 3D

[sharp kettle]

Nvm i tried making an example, i was too lazy for that

[long dust]

how do you guys do shadow on grass

[sharp kettle]

a what now..?

[long dust]

cause grass has noise and stuff so its gonna take forever if i use eyedropper tool to darken each pixel manually

[crimson basin]

i usually use like 35% on paint.net

and i go over a few times

[long dust]

i used 39 darkness (from default 49) and used overlay brush mode

[lapis crystal]

good?

[rain gate]

Ooooh, looks okay since it's a start

[rain gate]

The roof could have better colors or texture?

[crimson basin]

me when they look exactly the same

[rain gate]

But it's pretty cool

[lapis crystal]

..... it's not the first time I've done this.

[lapis crystal]

I'll redo it.

[sharp kettle]

K.

[rain gate]

You said you were pretty new to this yea?

[lapis crystal]

HAHAHAHAHAHA no)))

[rain gate]

Oh no no no, I'm just suggesting, not asking mkay?

Go at your own pace

[lapis crystal]

these are my plug-ins.

[rain gate]

I see, pretty cool

[lapis crystal]

the roof's really bad, I'll have to redo it.

[lapis crystal]

thx

[crimson basin]

personally i think the door looks odd

but i have a hate relationship with the damn door anyway

[rain gate]

Righty-o, good luck with it!

[lapis crystal]

Mine? I think so, too.

[lapis crystal]

thank you)

[rain gate]

This one looks more dynamic and better shaded, giving it a sense of depth

[lapis crystal]

is that your plugin?

[crimson basin]

i totdally just dont draw doors and pretent its behind the building or where you cant see it

[sharp kettle]

Of course not

🙂

[rain gate]

Personally it looks better than the 1st one

[crimson basin]

i support what baltz said

[lapis crystal]

I don't know, maybe it's true, but even on A4 paper, if I draw pictures, manga, I draw even small details that are not noticeable.

[crimson basin]

i despise doors :)

they just look odd when i do it

[lapis crystal]

Well, if you despise it, fine, I'll try to remove it, and the building will logically become doorless.

[crimson basin]

nah leave the door

[lapis crystal]

but I'm sure I've fixed the windows?

[crimson basin]

i draw doors sometimes

lemme show you

[lapis crystal]

оk

[lapis crystal]

I'd appreciate it

[crimson basin]

thats a door on the roof but no front door on both of them

this one has a nice glass door

yeah those are all my doors

[lapis crystal]

Okay, I'll try it without the doors and let you know.

Thank you.

[long dust]

my 2nd iteration

my 1st

[lunar snow]

Thanks for the suggestion but i will stick to the original design

[crimson basin]

hmmm

[sharp kettle]

door's quite flat there

[sharp kettle]

👍

[crimson basin]

well perhaps you should use some real life references?

[lapis crystal]

ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Fuzzer Bear ?!??!?!

ow.... sorry

[sharp kettle]

wha-?

[rain gate]

I think you just need a darker shade of shadow to give them depth

[lunar snow]

This is what i did for the windows

[long dust]

yeah i dont really know how to make it more detailed

cause its like 5 pixels

[lunar snow]

I have finally found it

[sharp kettle]

do the same thing you did with the windows

but just do the sides

[long dust]

definetly for my future tries, just wanted to get the basics down first

[lapis crystal]

Yes, I'll fix it, but this plugin will take a long time to draw.

[long dust]

oh i see

[sharp kettle]

*please remember, theres ingame building you can take a look at if youre confused on something😭 *

[rain gate]

Definitely, as someone who did pixel art back then, it's sometimes a pain in the arse

[long dust]

the one from the sample plug in doesnt have any door for some reason

[rain gate]

^^^
The charm of the game is the vanilla artstyle, so keeping in touch with vanilla stuff is pretty good

[sharp kettle]

heres an example of doors

[long dust]

that looks awsome

[sharp kettle]

thats actually vanilla

[lapis crystal]

It's kind of empty.....

[sharp kettle]

here!

this one should be perfect for ya @long dust

[long dust]

i see

[sharp kettle]

once you understand how it works, its really simple

ian you good?

i keep seeing u type from time to time

[rain gate]

Yep, you def need to know where to put the shades on

[sharp kettle]

roof really looks like #$^(@&

but it works i guess

[rain gate]

Roof bent weirdly

[sharp kettle]

also i noticed theres some incorrect pixels here

[rain gate]

It doesn't fit with the initial shapes

It's like it changed direction suddenly at the end of the shape

[long dust]

yeah my first try wasnt properly aligned

[trim blade]

Here's a little industrial office I made months ago

[orchid sorrel]

looks pretty nice

although I can't say much more with that image size lol

[rain gate]

Looks pretty good, I kinda wanna see it in action

[trim blade]

@orchid sorrel

Here's a better image

[orchid sorrel]

looks nice indeed

good colors

[crimson basin]

you need some roof shading

maybe :>

[rain gate]

It looks pretty versatile too ngl, could be useful

[trim blade]

It's also the right size for modular walls

[rain gate]

Heck yea

[trim blade]

Here's an old image of it

Tiny industrial business

This is from back in April when I first made it

[rain gate]

Oh you're the one who made them industrial decors!

Your plugin is really helpful istg

[trim blade]

Nop

I didn't

[rain gate]

Ah mkay

[trim blade]

I just made the little office, I just really like that plugin

[rain gate]

I see wheez

[crimson basin]

that little two pixels there, make it the middle colour

[lapis crystal]

Guys, what's the plugin? Who's got it?

[lapis crystal]

Yes I saw, I'll finish the whole house and start the roof again, so don't worry and thanks for noticing.

[tribal cliff]

What are the best plugins i should get as a beginner?

[crimson basin]

depends on what youre looking for

[tribal cliff]

I understand this game is all about aesthetics but still what would u recommend

[crimson basin]

expansion packs, trees, RCI packs, more parks and a building for each type atleast. like religion, police etc

[trim blade]

What types of cities interest you?

Also I recommend Philippine roads

Heck, everything that doesn't look bad

Some plug-ins don't have good scale

@tribal cliff if you give me what you are looking for I can give some recommendations

[tribal cliff]

For now, Im grabbing the top rated ones which look cool

[tribal cliff]

Cool looking residential/leisure buuldings, decorations, some cool parks and nature stuff, trees

[tribal cliff]

What is rci again?

[crimson basin]

residential, commercial industriak

[trim blade]

Residential commercial industrial

[trim blade]

industriak

[crimson basin]

he should totally check out conplex industri, best plugin 👍

[tribal cliff]

Yeah interested

[crimson basin]

#builder-content message

[trim blade]

Look through the different categories in the search as well

Decals are very nice for making parks

[tribal cliff]

Complex industri name of plugin?

[trim blade]

I'm not 100% sure it's publicly released

I think it's in that server bunny linked to

[tribal cliff]

Oh

[trim blade]

Also, glance at the comments on plug-ins before you get them, especially ones that don't let you watch an ad

[crimson basin]

complex industri is a community prokect by many members on the server

by many i mean a small ish team

[trim blade]

Many as in more than one person

[crimson basin]

yeah atleast around 10 probably

[crimson basin]

why does the funny pickle CEO always build his house in the middle of nowhere

[orchid sorrel]

where else would he build it

[crimson basin]

close to the HQ

ig he likes his privacy and sedentary life. imagine living without water and electricity

and no shops nearby

[livid agate]

little does she know

[crimson basin]

what in the world am i looking at

[trim blade]

Spaghetti

[crimson basin]

but like how is this related to Mr pickle CEO building his house literally in the middle of nowhere

hey einfach, does Mr. Pickle CEO have a name?

[orchid sorrel]

sure, submit your semirandom house placement algorithm by sunday

[dusty hill]

\

[orchid sorrel]

looks okay I think, just make it actually slanted/isometric

[crimson basin]

cant you like look around a radius from the HQ and see if its empty and place within the radius? Or if there is no space, expand the radius and repeat?

[orchid sorrel]

sounds expensive

[crimson basin]

expensive?

[orchid sorrel]

yes

and probably not even worth the effort considering that you can just move it

[crimson basin]

fair

moved Mr Pickle CEO s house right next to the HQ

imagine him building a whole house and 2 days later being told he needs to move halfway across the map

[tough whale]

Damn

[dense ridge]

Any plugin that can make pedestrian walking?

[vernal dragon]

Soon

[strange cloud]

There's an option in settings/graphics to make pedestrian walks on the sidewalk. But pedestrians in buildings cannot because it's one part of a single image file of the building itself. Just like a selfie you can't make the picture move unless some editing is done.

[winter badge]

Very cool!

[dense ridge]

Oky thank

[burnt bramble]

HeyHI!, I would love to have a couple roundabout reference pics, that way I can add as much road decos as possible

[burnt bramble]

just ping me if anyone has any other suggestion to add onto the custom roundabouts

[long dust]

how do i get a texture from the base game (not IAP textures)

[sharp kettle]

world texture on forum?

[long dust]

the newer one isnt there yet

[sharp kettle]

well just wait i guess

[burnt bramble]

💀💀💀

[cold pulsar]

How is that..
Okay y'know what nevermind im just not gonna question it

[sharp kettle]

dosent really look at good-

[long dust]

true

such a good plugin that it gets my blood flowing

[dusty hill]

#plugin-suggestions message wdym by fail project

Jeddah tower is still under construction

[dapper light]

Sexy plugin indeed

[dapper light]

If that’s winter frame then the pitch feels too green for winter

[crimson basin]

You can ask lobby (or kulche maybe, maybe)

[sharp kettle]

?

[crimson basin]

Looks nice!

[sharp kettle]

the rugby field should be simpler and easier to do

[crimson basin]

Hmm

[dusty hill]

chipper always does good job

[dapper light]

Way nicer now

[rotund haven]

that happened to me too

look at this

almost all of my plugins are reported

[sharp kettle]

thank goodness my plugins were never reported

well, all accept the first plugin i uploaded

really tho, just ignore em

[crimson basin]

reports dont matter

only the plugin mods and the owner can see and they dont affect anything

[burnt bramble]

Just a bit funny

[long dust]

Hello guys do you have plugin about to increase a lot of money?

[long dust]

what

just play sandbox if you dont want to grind for stable income

[sharp kettle]

well he wants to play with money, lets give him a plugin that helps him gets money

there are some plugin in the store, waste disposal plugins that i think gives you some income

not alot tho

[crimson basin]

There arent a lot of them but check this one out

Search in the store by income

[umbral carbon]

Ok

[echo moon]

@winter nebula Bro, it seems like you are suggesting more for adding it to the base game, not for plugins, everything is already there and enough. #plugin-suggestions message

[crimson basin]

if he wants bigger stuff anhkatori has plenty of 8x8 buildings

as for the police station and fire fighter helicopter well its iap so cant do that with plugins, i dont think

and parks and military buildings also exist as monk said

[echo moon]

yes I know that, the word "more" is everything

[crimson basin]

i know was talking to him

if he sees that

[long dust]

awful 😭

[sharp kettle]

???

[lunar snow]

Lmao

[sharp kettle]

it spreads disease?

[lapis crystal]

Oh, my God. This is total crap.... If not, what's there to fix? I know it's the roof, but what else?

[long dust]

it looks fine

[lapis crystal]

I don't want to insult you but you can't see well, there's a lot of mistakes on the roof, very bad shadows on the roof, it's nauseating.

[sharp kettle]

well, youre kinda are insulting em...

sure the roof is kinda weird looking but really, you expect people to say its garbage?

[crimson basin]

the mistake on the roof i pointed out and roof texture

[sharp kettle]

i guess i should just cover the dirt part with snow became, whos gonna plow a snow on a dirt

[unique pivot]

👀

[crimson basin]

mhm

[long dust]

how do i fix this

[crimson basin]

using title and text attributes

"title":

"text":

[long dust]

oh wait i didnt name the file properly

[crimson basin]

no like put it inside the json

[long dust]

oh

ohh

i thought its the plugin.manifest

[crimson basin]

both actually

but its optional for both

[warm comet]

How to use json or lua to change the color of terrain plugin frames, texture and border frames.🥺

[crimson basin]

which ones?

[long dust]

i have finally made my first plugin

and it works

best part is that i didnt go insane

[crimson basin]

you looking for this one?

[crimson basin]

good job!

always an accomplishment

[long dust]

thanks

[crimson basin]

one day youll look back and say this was my first plugin, wow i have improved 😊

[long dust]

yep

[crimson basin]

now ill go find the funny foresters lodge

[warm comet]

Thank you. I’ll try

But this doesn’t seem to work

[crimson basin]

where are you using it?

i usually use it when putting in animations or in frames

for example

[warm comet]

frames, texture and border frames.

[long dust]

if im making an addon pack

with say a fence and a road

do i use two separate json files

[sharp kettle]

sure, pretty sure you can also use just 1 file

[crimson basin]

im sure its possible

[warm comet]

Maybe this can only be used in animation?

[static sail]

Something something about "5G kills people" conspiracy theory

[carmine hemlock]

Korea apt

[dreamy hearth]

Roof aside I think the windows definitely need some work

Not sure if it's really just the image but the walls lack noise

[sharp kettle]

smh

[sharp kettle]

progress

[quasi hornet]

Snow onto the field?

Will you add

[sharp kettle]

what do you think?

[sharp kettle]

snow onto the field..?

[lunar snow]

I mean

They gotta clear all the snow on the field

if they want to play

[sharp kettle]

i make the grass a little less vibrant, thats the best i can do

[quasi hornet]

Wow

Got it

When new plugins

[delicate zinc]

very nice

[crimson basin]

prettyyyy

[urban grove]

Very cool 🥶

[echo moon]

plugin? or not

[sharp kettle]

*everyone is gonna have it 🌚 *

well, everyone will get it if it gets accepted into the vanilla game that is

[echo moon]

Good job

[crimson basin]

the one on top of the school looks slightly darker than the other snow frames

[dense path]

what software is used to draw the building

[echo moon]

software idk

[sharp kettle]

I didnt drew the building

[dense path]

i was not talking about the snow support for the football and school bulidings

[crimson basin]

paint.net

[sharp kettle]

what...?

[crimson basin]

hes asking what application you used to draw snow

[sharp kettle]

im not talking to you

[dense path]

i was not

but if it paint.net for all then thank you

[crimson basin]

for what?

[dense path]

for all plugins

since im planning to mame a small house plugin

[crimson basin]

to draw the graphics?

it doesnt matter what app you use but paint.net is best for pc

[sharp kettle]

ill probably do these two next

[crimson basin]

snow frames for rain

hail

[dusty hill]

hope it will get relased

[sharp kettle]

.

im submitting it straight into the vanilla game

[uncut acorn]

@sharp kettle your winter frames are cool

It’s better that the new update (soon in December) adds few winter frames in every in-game bldgs

[sharp kettle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[uncut acorn]

Come on… think about that
Are you gonna make winter frames in every ingame buildings sometimes?

[sharp kettle]

im doing this voluntarily..

and breh relax- y'know "every single ingame building" is alot right..?

[uncut acorn]

Yea

[lunar snow]

Are you akubaru?

[sharp kettle]

akunbaru is akunbaru

[lunar snow]

i was talking to LSC

[rain gate]

Nah akunbaru is indo, he's filipino

[static sail]

Is akunbaru here anyway

[lunar snow]

he's here

[trim blade]

😔

[steel egret]

azlk plant building

without a sign yet

[trim blade]

Ok

So, I need to find a way to reference the ingame textures

I don't really want to add a bunch of new buildings which just copy the ingame ones

I'm doing something similar to this, but I'm subdividing it further and without the decor

[sharp kettle]

an improvement from my previous work i guess

[orchid sorrel]

inherit/override/steal?

[trim blade]

I don't know what to call it. I might just make a proof of concept with my own buildings

[crimson basin]

curious, whats the difference between the three of them

[crimson basin]

oooh i get the reference ✨

[orchid sorrel]

inherit gets the original draft and only changes the stuff you want it to change

override overwrites the draft completely

steal is for reuising frames

[crimson basin]

ohhh

okie makes sense

[trim blade]

Uhhhhhggg, the plugin maker is down still

[crimson basin]

ping him and tell him

[trim blade]

Who

[crimson basin]

einfach

[trim blade]

@livid agate the plugin maker is down

Huh

What was that

[crimson basin]

pidroid shenanigans, dont midn it

[crimson basin]

edit the message to say whats wrong lol

[livid agate]

Pping

[agile forum]

Pong!

:stopwatch: 207ms

[livid agate]

No, it's not

[trim blade]

It's dead for me for some reason

[crimson basin]

ouuu the bot and pca runs on the same thing

[crimson basin]

it loads for me

check your connection

[trim blade]

what

[trim blade]

I have an Internet connection

I'll restart my phone though

[crimson basin]

are you using the new link?

[trim blade]

If this is on my end I'm sorry

[crimson basin]

Updated PCA link

https://pca.svetikas.lt/

[trim blade]

No...

I was using the one that was pinned

[crimson basin]

lmao the deprecated link?

ofc that doesnt work

[trim blade]

Man

I'm dumb

Can that link be unpinned?

[trim blade]

Possibly edit your message to say it's the updated link

[misty charm]

my first try at creating a plugin

[quasi hornet]

Excellent. Better than most of beginners. But delete these borders of the building

Most of them

[misty charm]

Ty

I'll try that tomorrow

[crimson basin]

thats actually really good, just remove the white outline

[rotund haven]

Name plugin siidewalk

[long dust]

when making a building plugin, do i need to make 4 separate frames for each side or can i just make one frame and use the same for each side

[trim blade]

Lots of plug-ins don't have rotations

You only need to give it four frames if you're going to make it rotation aware

[long dust]

i see

i assume its a lot more work for something not many will notice

[stoic palm]

4 times the work yeah

[rain gate]

help me how to make it stand straight

[crimson basin]

can i see the base image?

on the baseplate

[crimson basin]

yeah thats your problem

its not centered

youd typically draw on

and then keep it without cropping the sides and bottom

what you can do now is roughly sketch it on your canvas so it would fit

anything below the green tile does not appear

[rain gate]

I drew on this

[quasi hornet]

Looks pretty. Did you add some religion influence?

[crimson basin]

and then you cropped it?

[crimson basin]

fun fact did you know theres a decor that cost 10k with religion influence?

[quasi hornet]

Where

[rain gate]

I'll do it later

[rain gate]

yes

[crimson basin]

thats your mistake

press undo to before you cropped it

then save it and it should work

[crimson basin]

its a statue

i believe the bear one

[quasi hornet]

Ah

Well, okay

[rain gate]

I can’t, I already saved it the way I did it yesterday

[trim blade]

😔

[crimson basin]

theres probably still an undo button

[quasi hornet]

Make that space bigger, paste 1x1 frame in here and cropp it

[crimson basin]

oh wait nvm

[crimson basin]

pixly doesnt allow to add images like that

[rain gate]

it works

finally

thank you

[trim blade]

Very nice

[dusty hill]

ok but, no shadows?

#plugin-suggestions message @woven sun nope

[long dust]

looking for a plugin like this but construction workers

[crimson basin]

not hard to make it yourself tbhhh

[long dust]

🥲

[misty charm]

oh, the ground texture is from colonial pack

[rotund haven]

Thx

[sharp kettle]

#plugin-suggestions

[woven sun]

ok

[lunar snow]

So true👍

Can someone translate👍

[quasi hornet]

Okay jumper, use Russian only in #language-bar

This place for English

[lavish hinge]

to what language?

[lunar snow]

deez language

[crimson basin]

origincal message was deleted where someone was speaking in russian

[lavish hinge]

ah

then it was OUR responsibility to translate it

[crimson basin]

he said he was a jumper and gets paid to jump, happy?

and it stopped being our responsibility after he joined the server thereby accepting our rules

[lavish hinge]

chill i was joking

[dusty hill]

still looking for someone which will help me with trains

[orchid sorrel]

perhaps specifying your issue would be a solid first step

[dusty hill]

wait

@rotund haven there is a problem with substation plugin

there are no rotations of them

[sharp kettle]

gonna try making a road decoration that makes road blends better with snow

been planning to make it for a while now, since december is comming i guess ill try it now

[rotund haven]

yes I know that, the reason it doesn't have rotation awareness is because I don't have a picture of the left direction electricity pole

[quasi hornet]

It'll be the part of your vanilla textures update or you going to make a new plugin with it?

[crimson basin]

man, you arent even going to unblock me so i can heart it? :<

its not like i can even dm you even if you unblock me

[dusty hill]

you might ask Kulche or Game Devs for it

[rotund haven]

I'm not sure about the ink thing

[dusty hill]

also it should have all 4 rotations

[dusty hill]

but you need concrete thing

[sharp kettle]

tbh, this probably wont go to the official game, so ill probably just have to make a plugin for it

goodbye night animation, snowframe 4 life

[dusty hill]

i asked kluche for certain thing and i got it

[crimson basin]

isnt it on the forums?

[dusty hill]

but you can't share any part of the diamond content spritesheet

it will end up with Ban

[stoic palm]

Not may

Will.

[sharp kettle]

sheesh, instant public execution

[crimson basin]

lobby might have to add it as a free plugin even so bc they are running out of texture space

[sharp kettle]

also roads that are fully covered with snow i guess

[crimson basin]

i meant electric pole tutorial

oh wait the transmitter?

[dusty hill]

better ask kulche for it

[orchid sorrel]

what do you want

[dusty hill]

nothing

i just telling one guy that he can ask you for certain assets from special spritesheed

[orchid sorrel]

I'm aware

don't feel like giving away premium content

[dusty hill]

hmm

i also warned him that posting these assets to public is punished with Ban

[orchid sorrel]

yeah I scrolled up through those 10 messages

[uncut acorn]

Good luck:)

non-isometric building 😍

is it really thst non isometric

[trim blade]

It looks pretty isometric to me

[thin wraith]

I do see some diagonal lines

anyways, it is looking pretty nice so far!!

[lapis crystal]

bro what? 💀 💀

no

[lapis crystal]

help pls

[crimson basin]

crop the bottom of the canvas up to the green box

also crop the top bec plugin space

[lapis crystal]

Yeah... thank you very much for the hint, but... one more question, maybe for you it's a stupid question, but for the sake of learning I will ask, how to cut separately the upper part and the lower part, when I change the size of the cloth, it changes 2 parts at once, for example I change the size of the cloth, I have it at 1k pixels, I want to reduce it by 500 pixels, I write 500 and it changes from 2 sides, but not from one side.

[crimson basin]

paint.net?

anchor it to the top to crop the bottom. set how much pixels you need

[lapis crystal]

yes yes

[crimson basin]

then anchor it to the bottom to crop the top

[lapis crystal]

Hold on a minute, let me check.

[lapis crystal]

Move it to the top?

[lapis crystal]

on the sides, too?

Thank you wery match, u wery good helper ))))

[crimson basin]

No

Sorry i was cleaning

[lapis crystal]

but it came out even. Thank you. )))

I literally see it every day

[lunar snow]

so what im seeing is

t72 chassis with 2 rectangle boxes

pretty easy to make

done

[quasi hornet]

One question

Do you really think someone needs so detailed military transport pack? Or you just make it because you love it?

[lunar snow]

Both

People have been always in need of some military vehicles

I am in need of military vehicles for my cities

and i also love making it

[quasi hornet]

Well, if we ever get the pack, I don't think people will be able to use even a small part

But looks fantastic

[lunar snow]

Please fix your english

I cant understand a thing

But thanks

[quasi hornet]

Oh

Hold on

[crimson basin]

leaf hes still learning it

[lunar snow]

And im asking him to fix his sentence

[quasi hornet]

Already

[crimson basin]

why do you say that

the last part

because its so big the percentage of the plugin people use will be small?

[lunar snow]

TLMEP wont be in the store in anytime soon

And the version that plugin store's users will get is not the full unlocked/sandbox version

[quasi hornet]

The plugin will be too huge, so people just won't uses most things

[crimson basin]

also oster remember the thing i dmed you about? think you can get that done sometime this week hopefully? Or if youre busy I can just do it myself

[lunar snow]

It should be the functional ver

[crimson basin]

ah so usage to plugin content

[quasi hornet]

So i waiting for a working version

[crimson basin]

i already sent you

that one would work

[quasi hornet]

Okay i'll make something with that

[sharp kettle]

He didnt added these did he..

Its made by mdk

Well he did give credits but i hope he asked for permission there

[static pollen]

#plugin-discussion message
Seems legit

[stoic palm]

MDK gave people to use his work with credit

It's in all of his forum posts

[frigid tusk]

[frigid tusk]

I have json...

[orchid sorrel]

you probably aren't uploading it correctly then

[frigid tusk]

It worked

Nice

[spiral vigil]

I'm working on my first plugin, and here's what I've got so far. I'll add stuff like windows and doors next

Do y'all have any feedback regarding the color palette?

[quasi hornet]

Colors are good

[quasi hornet]

I hope you won't forget to add some ground shadows

What is it? A castle?

[spiral vigil]

It's actually a university, modeled after a building i found in central Bucharest

[quasi hornet]

Isn't it smaller than the original?

[royal mural]

Hello, do you know how to make a plugin?

[thin wraith]

you can check that tab to get started

[lunar snow]

Cheese

[echo moon]

I really want to ask for her permission directly, but I don't know how to contact private messages on theotown's website

[lunar snow]

Her?

[crimson basin]

him

but you just go to private message and add that person as the recipient

[carmine hemlock]

Korea apt

[gilded current]

its their fault, they didn't uninstall the old version so it errors the plugin.

plugin commenter are not really the smartest people

I think the error is only for the people who didn't disable the old plugin

[opaque pond]

Why do residents leave plugins? Tell me what the problem is, they are moving into regular zones

[gilded current]

you can always put it in the description but they are still gonna be people who are just clueless

[crimson basin]

Because they are angry that you didnt meet their demands

Did you repost it or just update it?

[gilded current]

he reposted it

[crimson basin]

did you keep the ids same or change it

okay that makes sense

What

[strange cloud]

Gonna continue this plugin during winter school break.
(For context: Pyongyang/North korean Apartment pack project that i have halted for several months)

[crimson basin]

also uou shouldve changed the ids

[livid agate]

What you shouldn't have done is delete them

Reposting plugins will result in plugin uploading suspension

[crimson basin]

Which rule is that?

just curious, first ive heard of it

[static pollen]

[thorny arrow]

The nightmode

[low loom]

That's cool

[thorny arrow]

is it too bright??

[low loom]

No

[quasi hornet]

Damn even the night lights are so detailed

[languid burrow]

@low loom Are you going to add more buses like golden dragon and yutong on the next update on terminal exchange?

[surreal oasis]

...

also, i finally found a good use for my ibispaint (other than just making mods for innawoods)

Turns out digital pen exists lmao

i don't know what made me do this again

[sharp kettle]

Very blurry

[quasi hornet]

What is that

[lunar snow]

hovercraft

[thick mural]

I'm going to make a series of buildings about the Dutch windmill village.😎

One of them is like..

[paper river]

Pretty

[burnt bramble]

Cute

[royal mural]

hi, do you know how I make a plugin?

[orchid sorrel]

check the pins

[thin wraith]

oh it's you

i've already told you how to check pinned messages yesterday

[thin wraith]

if you somehow missed it see this picture

[royal mural]

Pero es que no se como hacerle

😩

Explain it to me

[orchid sorrel]

explain what

[royal mural]

Pues como se hace un plugins en theotown es que me mandaron una foto pero no entiendo

[thin wraith]

check #language-bar

you'll be able to speak spanish there and i'll guide you there

[royal mural]

Ok

[quasi cargo]

The biggest problem with making game-sized plugins is that it's difficult to make a recognizable design

Bruh

[uncut acorn]

Heyyy
It’s been a long time

[surreal oasis]

LCAC or something like that

[surreal oasis]

I know.

[lapis crystal]

neme PLS!!!!!!!!

[quasi cargo]

Oh, its not published yet

I can give you a zip file

[lapis crystal]

gladly

[stoic palm]

@lapis crystal might i remind you server advertsing is against the rules.

[warm falcon]

Is there any shader plugins in this game?

[trim blade]

Yup

There's even a category

[warm falcon]

How do i see it

[sleek thistle]

How to make it? Use Pixly?

[sharp kettle]

ibispaint

[burnt bramble]

over 150 pieces just to assemble the biggest roundabout

I will need a tutorial just to show how to assemble it

this goes up to 8x8 btw

[trail cradle]

I can’t download plugin

[lavish hinge]

what do you mean you cant download plugins?

from in game store or from forum?

[trim blade]

I can't even open the page where I download plugins from the forum

[quasi hornet]

Ohh i have "Avrora" close to my home

What will be next?

[rose schooner]

I got this screen when using some plugins

[orchid sorrel]

you probably have duplicates of the same plugin

downloaded locally and through the plugin store

[crimson basin]

monk basically uploaded the plugin, deleted the plugin from the store and reuploaded without changing the ids

its two plugin store versions clashing

[lapis crystal]

It won't happen again, sorry

[crimson basin]

@echo moon you should update your plugin json

add "override": true to it

that would probably fix it

[orchid sorrel]

no

don't do that

[echo moon]

To be honest this is a different plugin so you can say this is not all also called a repost, I'm just annoyed why people don't realize that the previous plugin which has a different plugin name with the same author namely me is obsolete,
at first I thought by changing the category id it would be fine but it wasn't ~ Damn

[crimson basin]

you need to change the individual ids

[crimson basin]

how come?

[orchid sorrel]

because it'll break all currently working installations?

[crimson basin]

oh

[quasi cargo]

Idk

[echo moon]

it's already done, but I have unfinished work

[crimson basin]

well i have 3 versions of my own plugin running in game apparently

cause i change old ids so i can compare them when i make updates

[echo moon]

Im not that knowledgeable about plugins and json

[thick mural]

Today

[quasi cargo]

: D

Btw how to correctly calculate the coordinates for the light layer?

Because I do it several times until I get it right

[orchid sorrel]

y axis is inverted and point 0, 0 is on the leftmost pixel of the base tile

[quasi cargo]

Hmm.. let me think

[crimson basin]

#plugin-discussion message

[quasi cargo]

Yes, I saw this guide, but I didn't quite understand how to calculate correctly

[orchid sorrel]

there's not much to understand here

[quasi cargo]

Sorry, I've never done this before :Р

[crimson basin]

just count the pixels?

also images get anchored the top below the x axis and the left side on the image on the right side of the y axis

[quasi cargo]

Okay, thanks

[quartz kelp]

Please tell me what plugin is

[burnt bramble]

mdk breakwater/seawalls

[quartz kelp]

[burnt bramble]

New vs old

[lavish hinge]

[strange cloud]

Notice for the plugin moderator from me:

Best regards

[lavish hinge]

[frigid tusk]

You choose: tree or scaffolding

[lavish hinge]

[frigid tusk]

For json

Those are my 2 latest plugins

[lavish hinge]

ah

im gonna take the scaffolding

[frigid tusk]

Good choice

(BTW this plugin is pending approval)

[lavish hinge]

[lavish hinge]

wil you release it?

[rotund haven]

No

[lavish hinge]

[static sail]

In?

[lunar snow]

i dont think he's the one made it

[lavish hinge]

well its true, but the creator might allow him

[lunar snow]

the creator might allow him to share his private plugin?

[lavish hinge]

the creator shared it in a whatsapp group

created for indonesian players

so..

[lunar snow]

i mean if you know which group does the creator share in

why dont you just join the group and get it?

[lavish hinge]

im in the group

and some other player might wanna use the plugin too

thats what im thinking

[quasi cargo]

[quasi hornet]

Energy ManC, do you know we won't excuse you anymore if we see missing pixels in the future?

[rotund haven]

Do you agree to use it as an electricity pole that is no longer used?

[lunar snow]

the shadow is wrong

[rotund haven]

not enough shadow to put the room

[lunar snow]

what room

the shadow for the electricity pole is wrong

right side should be darker than left side

[sharp kettle]

room???

[rotund haven]

Translation error

I think that's enough

[lunar snow]

again

the shadow is wrong

and it should be fixed

[solar cairn]

Help. Name plugin ???

[uncut acorn]

[lunar snow]

[crimson basin]

[lunar snow]

[uncut acorn]

Ummm

Something is very wrong

[lunar snow]

hackers

did you use the hacked version of theotown or smth

[dusty hill]

industrial pack by Yusuf (forums)

[uncut acorn]

I didn't

I used the original version

[dusty hill]

[sharp kettle]

[lunar snow]

[uncut acorn]

[solar cairn]

Thank you

But plugin download forums? I am need download is game

[rotund haven]

not from the lobby

[crimson basin]

from kulche?

[rotund haven]

No

[crimson basin]

from where then?

hmmm

do you plan on releasing it?

because that counts as stolen content and is against plugin store rules

[rotund haven]

No

I might plan on uploading a substation plugin

or not uploaded

there's no cable anyway

because I don't have a diagonal direction image

[crimson basin]

whats a substation?

regardless if youre using it, it wont be accepted since its from another game and you dont have the right to use it

[rotund haven]

I think you're right

[crimson basin]

i am right

i may not be a plugin mod but i am familiar with th plugin store rukes

[rain gate]

Please remember with the creation of a plugin for trolleybuses

I understand nothing

[orchid sorrel]

and what is the problem

[rain gate]

I do not know how to make the code so that a certain transport does not go on some roads and goes on another

[orchid sorrel]

check the flags tutorial

did you see it?

[rain gate]

Yes

[orchid sorrel]

and what is the problem?

[rain gate]

I don't understand the transport code and the road code

[quasi hornet]

So forum mods ain't approved my plugin because something wrong(no) with shadows, but this plugin without any image is approved?

[lavish sail]

Thanks

[stoic palm]

Or there's an issue with the bot rather than the plugin itself, but yeah let's jump to conclusions

Because you know if you had bothered to look at the forum page for the plugin store you'd see it has a picture

[orchid sorrel]

that's just next level rude

[orchid sorrel]

simply, if your road has flag x it will only allow cars with flag x to drive on that road

[dusty hill]

ok

Jauleson talk here

[dusty plover]

I made it based on another guy plugin that added a astec temple

[stoic palm]

Notice how he just ignored us 😢

[dusty hill]

ok but shadow is faced wrong

[dusty plover]

Maybe its because i reversed the house side?

[dusty hill]

well propably yes

but better change it

[dusty hill]

take this as reference how to make shadows

also don't post raw sprites

[dusty plover]

So... Sun on theoworld is on the left?

[dusty hill]

someone will steal it

[dusty hill]

yup

[dusty plover]

Bruh

Sorry

Im basically a baby making mods

[stoic palm]

I don't think many folks are looking to steal first try sprites xD

[stoic palm]

It's all good mate, you'll get there! It's all learning

[dusty hill]

well but better don't post raw sprites

[dusty plover]

I made it because im fascinated with american civilis

[dusty hill]

just in case

[stoic palm]

Rock on mate! If your ever looking for help with that style specifically @oblique tundra maybe a good person to hit up

[quasi hornet]

Ye i saw already, that still has a prewiew. I just thought mods again approved an ugly plugin without any quality

[stoic palm]

Sureee

Sounds like your just looking for excuses to whine at people, which for reference isn't a great way to get them to do what you want

[quasi hornet]

☹️

Okay

[dusty plover]

Im more seeking for code help, my plugin is about a alternative american civilization which is a mix of maians, astecs and incas allied with some oc buildings.

[stoic palm]

Well plenty of folks here to help you with that I'm just not one of them lol

[sharp kettle]

my people as fence pack plugin thumbnail didnt show up once

[quasi hornet]

It's a bug 🐛

[sharp kettle]

i am aware

[stoic palm]

||Clearly that's the plug-in store mods fault||

[sharp kettle]

it ended up got 15 likes and 3 dislikes😔

[orchid sorrel]

rude squared :(

[quasi hornet]

||I replied||

[orchid sorrel]

I realised

and I replied to evan

[dusty hill]

even if ur plugins wouldn't be popular, they are still good

[quasi hornet]

No. As you can see, this palace hasn't more colors

I'll just make more modular parts

[rain gate]

Help me please

[rotund haven]

I saw the error in ),

[lunar snow]

[lapis crystal]

[lunar snow]

cool

[lapis crystal]

over

[lunar snow]

you should work on your shadow

you know what @lapis crystal

i like this building of yours

if you can send me your file

i will help you improve your shadows

we should discuss this further in dm if you are interested @lapis crystal

[lapis crystal]

I'm sorry, I have a situation in my family after this situation I stopped trusting anyone even my family although I love them, I think you will steal this plugin and assign it to your tag, I'm sorry but I can't give it to you, if you can help with shadows please tell me where exactly to do it, I'm sorry for my distrust((( I'm very ashamed to refuse help

[lunar snow]

lmao that's a lot of work

but i understand

sure i can point you out which part you should work on

[lapis crystal]

I'll be honoured, and I'll do it right now.

[lunar snow]

all of the part i have just marked

[lapis crystal]

just make it darker?

[lunar snow]

is some of the things where the shadow should be improved

[lunar snow]

round structure is kinda complicated to shadow

basically it goes darker from left to right

[lapis crystal]

do something like this?

[lunar snow]

do something like that

[lapis crystal]

complicated. really, are you sure you won't steal the plugin?

[lunar snow]

im a senior plugin creator

i dont steal no one graphics

[lapis crystal]

then can I send you the file in a private message?

[lunar snow]

yes we will discuss this further in private message

[quasi hornet]

Towers

[crimson basin]

is repunzel inside? :0

let her out

[quasi hornet]

Sounds seriously. Can i name myself so too?

[lunar snow]

well i have been here for around 5 years
