[midnight obsidian]

anyways i did use a real building as inspiration for this, can you guess where the inspiration is from

[crimson basin]

Greece

[midnight obsidian]

no

[gaunt quartz]

Western europe?

[sage socket]

amsterdam

[orchid scroll]

east java

[midnight obsidian]

yeah but which country specifically

[midnight obsidian]

nope

[midnight obsidian]

yeah that's definitely the right answer lol

[gaunt quartz]

Germany?

[midnight obsidian]

i'd say that's correct but the actual inspiration is from france

but yeah the style does come from germany so

[gaunt quartz]

Its half correct eh

Well yea back then western europe has a generic medieval-ish type of architecture

[midnight obsidian]

i mean

it's in strasbourg so very close to germany

[gaunt quartz]

Ohh

Alsace Lorraine area?

[midnight obsidian]

yeah

[gaunt quartz]

The names at that place is quite german

[frigid tusk]

Finally some fresh french plugins :D

[midnight obsidian]

i did not expect this to turn out this nice

[crimson basin]

Chestnut

[midnight obsidian]

??

[orchid sorrel]

zamn

what are you going to put on the ground though

[sly ibex]

[crimson basin]

The colour

[midnight obsidian]

I think i'll have one variation with props on the ground and one with no props

I will be nice and add the props via animation

[atomic glen]

how to create plugin cuz i wanna make one

[crimson basin]

Youll need a pixel drawing app to start with

you can find some resources pinned here as well as in the forum

as always if you have questions, feel free to ask and we will try to answer

[atomic glen]

im downloading pixel studio so what should i do next?

[midnight obsidian]

pdn 🤓

[livid agate]

hit me with that error access denied

[crimson basin]

Ptag template

[agile forum]

Q: Do we need to use a template to make a Plugin?
A: Yes, it's the most important part of the plugin, if you don't have it, it won't look great.

Q: Where can I find the Templates?
A: At this forum post: https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=3207

[crimson basin]

install one of them and draw what you want to make as your plugin

[atomic glen]

thank you!

[burnt bramble]

I'm so Happy, finally learned how to add multiple animations into a road decoration 😭😭😭

It was so simple

[echo prairie]

If there's a plugin with car animations or code

[orchid sorrel]

no idea

[paper river]

3 new buildings

[crimson basin]

@lyric depot, if you see #plugin-suggestions pins you can see that no reposting is allowed

[lyric depot]

Wasn't really much of a repost, but ok.

[burnt bramble]

@gaunt quartz something like this? https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?p=143010&hilit=kitchen#p143010

[lyric depot]

I made the suggestion twice, I didn't go back and repost the same exact suggestion though (thought about it, but it was too long) then again this is probably pointless anyway since I am literally arguing for the exact term of a repost which is honestly a stupid thing to argue for so I'm gonna end this here.

[crimson basin]

Yes thats exactly what a repost is

[gaunt quartz]

Yes

[lunar snow]

That building is so beautiful

Perfectly resemble the vietnamese culture

my neighbor's house looks like that

[atomic glen]

what other app to use to make plugins (pc)

[midnight obsidian]

do you like this vietnamese building i made @lunar snow

[midnight obsidian]

if you have windows, you can use pdn and vsc

[atomic glen]

are they free?

[midnight obsidian]

yes

pdn for graphics and vsc for code

well not exactly code but json

[atomic glen]

ooh yup

[lunar snow]

I am in a romantical relationship with your building

[crimson basin]

Or use pca for code

[midnight obsidian]

pca 😂

imagine using shortcuts

[crimson basin]

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/

[crimson basin]

Give the pca for newbies

[atomic glen]

bunny what u use for pc?

[crimson basin]

for the code?

visual studio code (vsc)

or you can alternatively use notepad

[atomic glen]

nah pixels

[crimson basin]

paint.net

[lunar snow]

You should use paint.net

[atomic glen]

alr bet

thank yaal

kiel and bunny mwah

[midnight obsidian]

either way

[lunar snow]

Im blowing up houses of people who doesnt use paint.net

[midnight obsidian]

pca won't code animations for me

[midnight obsidian]

https://getpaint.net

[crimson basin]

Beginners typically dont use animations

[midnight obsidian]

that's their proble

m

[crimson basin]

it does the job

for them

i just write my own stuff now that i know

[lunar snow]

My middle name is Free Software for Digital Photo Editing

How did you know that

[midnight obsidian]

i am smart

like joe

[lunar snow]

who joe

If i remember correctly

[atomic glen]

joe ma.

[lunar snow]

you need to answer something for my question

something funny

something comically

@midnight obsidian

Guys

[midnight obsidian]

joe plugin

[livid agate]

ban

[uncut acorn]

Best style

And niiiceeee

[atomic glen]

@midnight obsidian can we make plugins w vs code if yes wich laguages

languages*

[midnight obsidian]

you can

[atomic glen]

json python etc

[midnight obsidian]

to make drafts (buildings and stuff) appear in theotown you use json

and if you want to get into more technical things, like custom ui or very advanced functionality you use lua

[atomic glen]

i want to build a plugin of sum buildings blocs so imma use json?

[midnight obsidian]

yes

[lunar snow]

I suggest vietnamese

[atomic glen]

alr wait

too difficult

@midnight obsidian im i doing good for now?

imma try to make soviet bloc plugin

[midnight obsidian]

you see how the pixels in the template go two pixels to the side and then one up?

you have to follow that with what you draw as well

[atomic glen]

yup al

alr

[atomic glen]

i threw the towel

too hard

respect for the plugin creators

@midnight obsidian but thx for what u did to help me

[midnight obsidian]

it's okay

you're welcome

[thick mural]

応天门（応=应）

I think there seems to be some problems with the roof of the second floor of the building. What do you think?

[lunar snow]

It looks fine

[dreamy hearth]

I like the design, would make a great temple

[thick mural]

Are there any buildings of this style in your city?

[fickle frigate]

Waiting for it ❤️

[lunar snow]

Probably

[sharp kettle]

Nice

[echo prairie]

How much the Theons Worth

1 then 1000 Dollars

[stoic palm]

?

It's a game currency

I don't think it's compared to any IRL currency

[sharp kettle]

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

[echo prairie]

I need the cars night animations please

[midnight obsidian]

i guess you could do some math seeing how many diamonds 1 dollar is and then seeing how many theons 1 diamond is

[orchid sorrel]

what is your problem

it works in exactly the same way as building animations

[thorny arrow]

Oops 🗿

[midnight obsidian]

🗿

hmmm

[thorny arrow]

Bigger than my building 🗿

[midnight obsidian]

lol

rate layer names

[sharp kettle]

7.8

[thorny arrow]

.....
Layer 7
Layer 6
Layer 5
Layer4
Layer 3
Layer 2
Layer 1

[midnight obsidian]

can relate

[thorny arrow]

How many layers are there in total?

[midnight obsidian]

infinity

[thorny arrow]

10 ?

[midnight obsidian]

succumb to the layer gods

[thorny arrow]

This sentence reminds me of the Hai Phong theater

126 layers

[midnight obsidian]

💀

[thorny arrow]

and 30 layers left after editing

😭

Before I lost it forever

[midnight obsidian]

i thought this would be more painful to make

i think i'm gonna add another one so the roof doesn't look empty

[thorny arrow]

It's time to remake the Hai Phong theater 🤓

Luckily I still have a lot of pics from the old gallery

[night moon]

yo, what happened to this

???

[midnight obsidian]

would be nice if i could add something to the ground but idk what

[thin wraith]

perhaps he retired

[night moon]

😦

[burnt bramble]

A couple outdoor chairs

And trees

[echo prairie]

Hahaha I used the Night animation and this happens

Works but it's not for vehicles

Please I need the night animations of the vehicles

[midnight obsidian]

it's genuinely surprising how much ambient occlusions improve your plugins

[midnight obsidian]

so that's the building done

[sharp kettle]

mm, lovely

[echo prairie]

Really

Thanks 👍

[dusty plover]

The city is now thriving with the new blue houses but im now trying to make a market

Its a i have the sprites but the building is floathing

[paper river]

The width should be 32

[dusty plover]

But what about the height?

The pixel must touch the top? Like on the other two

[paper river]

Depends on how you want to place the building

[paper river]

To save texture space yes

[dusty plover]

So the width must be 32... Gotcha

Leme try

@paper river Its working! Thank you!

With the market problem solved i can start working on a hospital

[paper river]

Nice

[lunar snow]

Exactly

You could just make a full red building

but with ao

it will look realistic

[signal lagoon]

if you are the author, you can check your json files. lol

diff -u old_file.json new_file.json

[thorny arrow]

I hate office building roof details ☝

😭

Too many things to draw on that roof

[echo prairie]

What's happening it's spinning hahaha

[sharp kettle]

Whole thing is glowing

[echo prairie]

Hahaha that's just a test

Please really need how to stop spinning the vehicle

Or if there's a best car night animations

[lunar snow]

How did you do that

I may need it when i make christmas leds

[atomic glen]

guys respect I tried to do a plugin it hard ag

[echo prairie]

Hahaha a new way for animations

[atomic glen]

af

[lunar snow]

Everyone starts small

[midnight obsidian]

if you keep trying you'll eventually get to making good plugins

[echo prairie]

You have a car night animations

[midnight obsidian]

everyone went through the same steps, but some just quit sooner

no mud, no lotus

[atomic glen]

fact

[echo prairie]

Maybe recommendations

[atomic glen]

im trying to make it look like a 3d not 2d

im struggling w that

nd the roof

[lunar snow]

lmao

just follow the template

what's so hard

[atomic glen]

?

I don't understand

"follow the template" but how?

[midnight obsidian]

it's that thing i showed you

[atomic glen]

oooo

the squares yup

i remember

[midnight obsidian]

.

yeah

[lunar snow]

and do you know who make the best plugins, aka the best plugin creator ever, aka the best person ever lived?

[midnight obsidian]

theleaf2805

[lunar snow]

so true

It's Nikita Joe Free Software for Digital Photo Editing "The Leaf" Romanov

[midnight obsidian]

Welcome to Gboard clipboard, any text you copy will be saved here.

[lunar snow]

Anyway i also have something for you

[lunar snow]

So true

[midnight obsidian]

what if

ultimate graphics guide for theotown plugins

[lunar snow]

well

that's something i have been planning to work

[midnight obsidian]

lol

[lunar snow]

for months

[midnight obsidian]

yeah i've also wanted to make that

[lunar snow]

i even plan to make it exclusively for lpc lol

[midnight obsidian]

great minds think alike

[lunar snow]

so true

actually

I will make it once my computer is fixed

[midnight obsidian]

what if i made it first 😏

[lunar snow]

i will burn your house

😇

jk

[midnight obsidian]

awwwh you're of such a good heart

[lunar snow]

I just want to warm somebody in this cold weather

anyway it will be best if we do it together

[midnight obsidian]

not gonna lie i've started using the noise tool less often

[lunar snow]

same

i used to think noise is superior

but nope

[midnight obsidian]

ambient occlusions on top

[lunar snow]

it just makes your buildings look bad

[lunar snow]

Indeed

[midnight obsidian]

i mean noise is more meant for beginners i guess

[lunar snow]

ye

[midnight obsidian]

once you get more experienced there's less need for the noise

[lunar snow]

I figured this out when i start making the trucks

[lunar snow]

Ye

[languid burrow]

What kind of trucks do you make?

[lunar snow]

Tbh TLTP plays an important role on my plugin making skills

i used to be very bad at making vehicles and the shadows back then

[lunar snow]

lots of trucks

[languid burrow]

Do you make dump trucks too?

[lunar snow]

Yes

[midnight obsidian]

@lunar snow i made another vietnamese house

[lunar snow]

So cool

I live in one of those

[languid burrow]

I love it

[atomic glen]

pixly ? or piksel?

release it its fireeeee

[lunar snow]

paint.net

[languid burrow]

What app do you use for making plug-ins?

[lunar snow]

paint.net

[atomic glen]

for me on mobile its pixly on pc its piksel

look at the pinned messages on this Channel you'll find info

or u can use visual studio code (json)

[lunar snow]

oh yeah btw

since tltp has been staying the same for a while and i dont want it to be unused

[crimson basin]

Why would you use piksel on pc 😭

[lunar snow]

i will give some of the fire trucks to theotown (if they accept) as a gift

[crimson basin]

Ask kulche

[lunar snow]

ye i will

ofc they can edit the trucks like how they want

[atomic glen]

yooo how much hrs did it take?

[crimson basin]

Did you add the lights too?

[atomic glen]

wb animation?

[crimson basin]

He spent months on it lol

[atomic glen]

AYOOOOO

[lunar snow]

Some weeks for the fire truck

[crimson basin]

night animation with flashing lights

[atomic glen]

yeah

it would be nice if he added the brake light

or signals system

[atomic glen]

AYOOOOO RESPECT BRUUUV

[lunar snow]

Thanjs

[atomic glen]

so nice

[lunar snow]

Hoewver

however

[atomic glen]

yes ask kulche

ask him to make a vote

[lunar snow]

If those trucks are being added to the game, i dont think the lights will be included too

[atomic glen]

and cast these pic

[lunar snow]

too much of a work and i havent even completed it

[atomic glen]

damn

[lunar snow]

I thought i should ask jа about this?

[orchid sorrel]

hi

[lunar snow]

hi

[orchid sorrel]

in fact, there are some new fire engines already done

I don't think they are implemented yet though

[lunar snow]

And a new fire station building too?

Ah i see

[atomic glen]

when would they be released

a sneak peak

[orchid sorrel]

ask lobby

[midnight obsidian]

kulche

[atomic glen]

alr

[midnight obsidian]

how often do you find yourself using the noise tool nowadays

[orchid sorrel]

I think I coded them in fully so it's a matter of putting them on the world texture and stitching the json

I'll remind lobby once he's online

[lunar snow]

Nice

@midnight obsidian new service buildings fr

[orchid sorrel]

I think he's away from home this week or something

[midnight obsidian]

real

[orchid sorrel]

for plugins?

all the time?

[midnight obsidian]

yes

for plugins

[orchid sorrel]

I even have a txt file for saving color values and noise parameters for set textures

[midnight obsidian]

lol

i can't believe how much i've actually changed lmao

[orchid sorrel]

humongous

[midnight obsidian]

on the left is my old fachwerk plugin and on the right is the new

[lunar snow]

ao = love
ao = life

[midnight obsidian]

also do you like the new roof texture

i think it's really nice

[lunar snow]

looks vietnamese

it's nice

[orchid sorrel]

it looks more real

[midnight obsidian]

yeah

[orchid sorrel]

and less flat

[midnight obsidian]

what can i say

i've come a long way huh

[thorny arrow]

Nice buildings

[atomic glen]

@midnight obsidian does this cube look good? its my first "good cube_

[midnight obsidian]

Looks alright

I'd follow the same guidelines for the roof

I'll be able to help later, i'm not home rn

[thick mural]

Still the same reason, but he didn't tell me which graphic was wrong.

[quasi hornet]

||Everywhere||

[thick mural]

🤷‍♂️

[lunar snow]

I dont think your buildings was that bad

[thick mural]

Who can point out that one of these buildings does not meet the above requirements?

[lunar snow]

Lmao

[thick mural]

Heian Jingu Outemmon Gate

[lunar snow]

I think these look damn fine

And the mods are having some problems

[thick mural]

what？

[lunar snow]

mods as in plugin store moderators

[thick mural]

What do you mean? Can you be more specific?

[rain gate]

anyone know best plugin for my city?

i already have this sphere plugin

[thick mural]

Does this building have animation?

[rain gate]

yes

[thick mural]

❗

[lunar snow]

I think these look damn fine

[lunar snow]

And the plugin store moderators are having some problem

If you still cannot understand that

You are having some problems too

[rain gate]

[thick mural]

I have a friend who had one of his plugins knocked back 7 times before it finally made it to the shelves, I don't know if the situation is the same this time.

[lunar snow]

@midnight obsidian any ideas?

[rain gate]

i need ideas too ASAP

for this city

[orchid sorrel]

it's currently pending approval

I'm not the one disapproving it but uploading the same thing over and over won't get you anywhere

[thick mural]

What is the same thing? I have revised what I think is inadequate.

[orchid sorrel]

the plugin is the thing

but still

anyway, I'd improve the colors a bit maybe

definitely needs more contrast

[thick mural]

Do you think the core problem is contrast?

Then I will start to revise it now. Thank you for your advice.

How about now?

Before

[orchid sorrel]

looks a bit better

try making the right side darker/more contrasting

[thick mural]

Maybe I have to adjust the building every time before I place a tree.

And now?@orchid sorrel

[orchid sorrel]

much better

[thick mural]

If I make multiple changes to a plug-in, which one do you see when you review it?

Is it the most recent one or all of them?

[orchid sorrel]

probably the latest one

[thick mural]

OK

[forest grove]

Yall so if I uninstall theotown and reinstall it and sign in to my account will the plugins still be there

[misty pawn]

I wouldn't recommend

[forest grove]

Wdym?

[frigid tusk]

No

[static pollen]

No, you lose cities and plugins, but if you have a theotown account, you can redownload your plugins from the store obtained so as not to have to purchase for them again, but the plugins deleted from the store will not be available

[misty pawn]

@forest grove relocate the whole tt's file from device to device

[midnight obsidian]

i sure can't wait until people make half hill plugins

[misty pawn]

I'd rather see in-game cliffs

[midnight obsidian]

Already possible

[oblique tundra]

Wooow they're back??

[forest grove]

Ngl I got too much plugins anyway so ima Uninstaller and reinstall

[keen helm]

New set of old lights, done in the train, they are supposed to be a fancy variant, tho I find the middle ones to be a bit too big and I'll need to downsize these

[keen helm]

Kinda, when I have time

[gaunt quartz]

Ancient civ update? YoooOo

[lunar snow]

Half hill?

[lunar snow]

Nice

Btw i think you should start releasing the finished frames as small pack

I dont think you will have enough time to finish all of them and i'd hate to see them being unused

[quasi hornet]

It's the next lights level

[sly ibex]

wow

[quasi hornet]

Very Japanese

[lunar snow]

💀

[uncut acorn]

Bro think that its japanese 💀

[languid burrow]

Is that Japanese?

[uncut acorn]

No its chinese

[uncut acorn]

Standard.

[languid burrow]

Amazing!

LSC, have you seen the Sphere of Vegas plugin in Theotown?

[quasi hornet]

Well, the architectures very similar

[gaunt quartz]

I think overall its oriental architecture

[uncut acorn]

Yes

[uncut acorn]

Yeah. see @quasi hornet

[paper river]

I think that's heian shrine located in kyoto

[quasi hornet]

I got

[lunar snow]

Wow

[steel egret]

the building is ready, I will make workshops

and

cars

[uncut acorn]

Nice looking

[steel egret]

Thanks

[crimson basin]

@echo moon

[paper river]

Work in progress

[lunar snow]

Nice yacht

[paper river]

Thanks

[lunar snow]

Im happy to see more people are using my trick to make plugins

[uncut acorn]

Very nice

[ashen echo]

Is there a comprehensive guide to the plugin making process I could find somewhere?

[crimson basin]

Pins and forum

[keen helm]

Interesting, is it going to be part of a pack?

And are you planning rotation aware variants?

In the meantime

Just gotta make a variant going up, one going down and it's done.

There is also this

[paper river]

Maybe if I'm not lazy. For rotation i'll just flip it at most

[keen helm]

I long for the day we will have actual moving large ships

But that would mean having the transport update come out first

[thick mural]

Unified reply: This is an ancient building from Kyoto, Japan.

Which tile is better?

[quasi hornet]

What trick

[lunar snow]

Making a base shape of the structure you are making with bright colors instead of doing the textures right away

btw @paper river

have you made a shadow layer for your yacht

[midnight obsidian]

Bored Ape Yacht Club

[quasi hornet]

Hmm okay. Hope i won't forget your advice, if i ever try to make plugins again

[quasi hornet]

Love your Japanese style

[stoic palm]

@next depot take a hint man. I deleted it once here because you asked somewhere else. Don't cross-post.

[rain gate]

that's chinese lol

[quasi hornet]

Ah yes yes

[paper river]

I have

[uncut acorn]

☑️ Japanese

[quasi hornet]

"Japanese" sounds better, so i going to use this word

[stoic palm]

That's not correct though lmao

[quasi hornet]

What do you mean

[stoic palm]

Those are two different countries with two different styles...

Regardless of what sounds better calling it Japanese isn't right lol

[quasi hornet]

Ah

Of course

I was kidding

Hope people from these countries doesn't understands my words seriously

[stoic palm]

But based on this you maybe right

[quasi hornet]

Funny

[lunar snow]

Yep

[lunar snow]

Guys i have told you

It's a japanese building

So he was right all along

[gaunt quartz]

Its oriental architecture i believe

To give a more overall perspective

[lunar snow]

Japaense

[gaunt quartz]

Japanese, korean and chinese are part of oriental architecture for an overall picture
But if its japanese architecture then its japanese architecture
East asian architecture have distinct similarities to each other

[lunar snow]

That's obv

[uncut acorn]

Ohh I see

So it’s Japanese after all

But although they look similar

Sorry I’m wrong

[uncut acorn]

Haven’t backread for that
Oopsie

[burnt bramble]

Hey What do you all think?

anyone is free to use this btw, I'm just practicing how to make more complicated shapes

[paper river]

Very nice

[lunar snow]

So i see that the game is trying to do the lights like i did with the fire truck before

but

I hope they will fix this soon

Other than that

Here is all the vehicles included in the pack

Nothing to say more about it than epic

All vehicles have their diagonal frames, and there are police liveries from various countries

[orchid sorrel]

lol I did report that

no idea what got broken

[lunar snow]

That's unfortunate

Cant wait to see how it will look like when it's fixed

i can learn from this and do the same for my trucks

[static sail]

Goddamn I love this

[burnt bramble]

What else should I try doing? It should be small yet complicated, 3x3 size max

Any suggestions just dm me

[oblique tundra]

Well now is the time for the big reveal

Get to know... the Hanging Gardens of Babylon

You can build it however you want, with up to two floors

[quasi hornet]

Love your Japanese style

[oblique tundra]

The modular nature of the Hanging Gardens allows them to be compact or large palaces

It's up to players to set up their own gardens

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are the main content of the next ANCIV Mesopotamia update, which will also bring the defense towers, water wells, etc.

And this update will come out later this year 🙂

[worthy narwhal]

cool

[orchid sorrel]

wow this is some cool stuff

very original

[midnight obsidian]

nice uh

korean

yes

korean style

[flat oracle]

Can you approve me plugin please??? Finally

[quasi hornet]

Your plugin will be approved like after month

Or some weeks

[uncut acorn]

What 💀

[thick mural]

How much opacity should be added when adding shadows to the building?

[burnt bramble]

I usually do 60%

[quasi hornet]

30%

[quasi hornet]

Isn't that too much?

Too black shadows are not that good

[lunar snow]

Cool

[lunar snow]

It's a joke

[quasi hornet]

I never kidding

[oblique tundra]

Thank you

[stoic palm]

[lunar snow]

then you are either blind or retаrded

[stoic palm]

be nice

[echo moon]

playstore

[gritty mural]

didnt find it

rate my first ever plugin that worked 1-10

[crimson basin]

Well uh you didnt really do much besides adding a photo to the game

and shadows are wrong

but if were gonna ignore all the technicalities like that, just getting something to appear in the game for the first time is good

[gritty mural]

💯 real

[lavish hinge]

can somebody please explain what is "type":"template"

[rotund haven]

Coming soon

[uncut acorn]

Yesss

Finally

[rotund haven]

I will upload it when the power generator plugin is successfully created

[gritty mural]

nahh why do i make plugins 2d

[tough whale]

Yea

[trim blade]

That is MASSIVE

[gritty mural]

[strange cloud]

The app simply wasn't compatible with newer android versions i guess...

[quasi hornet]

Woow big marshmallow, finally

yea but its available on my phone market should i still download it

[strange cloud]

Trustable,and legal sources are the best way to get it.

[gritty mural]

btw,how do i make my plugin like not a picture

[gritty mural]

like this mybe

mine is like squished

[strange cloud]

There are many tutorials on the internet,and you can find one on YouTube or go read forums tutorials (link on the pin's)

[gritty mural]

ok ty!

[livid agate]

Relevant: #plugin-discussion message

The app is no longer updated

And Google play store enforces an API and 64-bit required for apps

Android 13 or 14 drops support for 32-bit programs altogether

[gritty mural]

whats other app too use?

[strange cloud]

Check pins

This one specifically.

[static pollen]

Pixelstudio

[lunar snow]

Ye ofc you can download it manually and it should runs fine

[paper river]

Nice

[lavish hinge]

why are they so gigantic?

[rotund haven]

Namr plugin road?

[lunar snow]

That's some nice stuff

[lavish hinge]

which one looks better? the dark one or the light one?

i mean the color

[stoic palm]

Both we definitely have a use

But I'm pretty sure the dark one matches the in game rail better

[lunar snow]

Why not both

Just name one is "train track" and the other "tram track"

[lavish hinge]

alr

good idea

now how on earth do i fix these rails

[dapper light]

Is that for decoration or train will actually run on single rail

[lunar snow]

Decoration

[lavish hinge]

both

but idk how to position the train so that they go in the middle

[lunar snow]

Actually i remember you can change the train position on the track

Sadly i dont know how to do that

It should be something like the one lane road

[lavish hinge]

thanks for the help

[signal lagoon]

just change the handle frames of the train frames.

isn't there a plugin by a group creator?

[dapper sun]

Plugin????

[dapper light]

I remember Hadestia did managed to do that in the 18th century themed mod that I forgot

[lunar snow]

Cool

[snow jetty]

Is there any way to increase the viewing distance of cars?

[crimson basin]

nope and i dont think youd want to

[snow jetty]

It would be cool to see the cars even from afar, it makes the map more alive

[crimson basin]

because it will lag and you may crash becayse of all the rendering

[snow jetty]

Thank you very much

[crimson basin]

no problem

[rich birch]

Help, how do I fix this?? I just updated my game after not playing for a long time, when I placed my drones they became cut up like this

😭😭

[orchid scroll]

are those worms

caterpillars

[crimson basin]

Drones~

[gaunt quartz]

Prob something about the plugin being outdated

[crimson basin]

Yk that doesnt really help
Its his own plugin so i assume hes seeking out how to fix it

[gaunt quartz]

Oh

[crimson basin]

The look like ghost demons :)

[gaunt quartz]

O h

Bruh sorry bout that

[crimson basin]

Its okay lol, you dont know always

Blue names are plugin creators

Its possible he wasnt talking about his own plugin but in this case i know it is his

[gaunt quartz]

Oh kk

[rich birch]

Can any of you help me? 😢

[echo prairie]

It seems like a snake 🐍

[dapper light]

I heard same thing happened to train but not sure

[rich birch]

TT

[dapper light]

Game is too good for updates heh

[crimson basin]

What type of "building" is it?

[orchid sorrel]

that certainly isn't a building

also the crystal ball says 🔮: "no json kthxbai"

[crimson basin]

Building term loosely.

[orchid sorrel]

?????

a draft type???

[rich birch]

That's "Car" type

[orchid sorrel]

why not use helicopter

using cars sounds like a mediocre idea

[rich birch]

I use two types, car type and helicopter type

[orchid sorrel]

what's the point

[rich birch]

I used the car type because it was inspired by Simcity's drone

*Always on the road

So can the drone be repaired? :'(\

[orchid sorrel]

I told you

[crimson basin]

What happens if ypu use handles to up it

[rich birch]

hmmm i will try..

[sonic mist]

Guys i saw on some photos a red bus like in london what the name of this plugin

[dapper sun]

Omaga steph hellooooo

[flat oracle]

better

[midnight obsidian]

it's all very nice but i'd probably work on that roof a bit

i can see it's supposed to be slanted but the way you drew it in theory makes it flat actually

[flat oracle]

It isn't ended

[dusty plover]

Guys im in need of help... Can you give me some tips or stuff about making a service stuff like hospital beds and range of effect?

[quasi hornet]

Theotown doesn't support small details

[dusty plover]

What?

[quasi hornet]

Hospital beds? Literally a few pixels

[dusty plover]

Im talking about codding

[stoic palm]

I think he means capacity

[dusty plover]

Yes

[quasi hornet]

Ah

What exactly do you mean

[dusty plover]

Im trying to make my Native American plugin, i have the houses and market but no services at all

[quasi hornet]

An influence?

[dusty plover]

The hospitals have the number of people that can use them and the range where the act, right?

I want to know how to code It?

[dusty plover]

Something like

[stoic palm]

@dusty plover use the PCA

Linked in the pins

Will likely be the easiest

[echo moon]

why did the color darken?

[crimson basin]

"provide aspect health care": (this number is for number of patients),
"influence health": (this number is for the range),

this could help if youre looking to set any other influences

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=1355
heres a link to the stuff you can add to your json

[sharp kettle]

because pixly

[echo moon]

the only way so that we can use that color, each pixel must be copied one by one lol

[sharp kettle]

you can just copy everything

dont have to do it pixel by pixels..

[echo moon]

how to do it?

[sharp kettle]

what..?

[echo moon]

I knew it could copy everything, but, for the other lights, I cut and pasted the previous night frame pixels for the other lights, so doing it one by one

[thick mural]

I tried to use this tool to make a large building, but its scope is not enough, what should I do?

[lunar snow]

Do it manually then

[misty pawn]

It's truly a pain but you can only use cut then past if you want it to remain as it is

[orchid sorrel]

pixly moment

[quasi hornet]

Just don't care about it

If customers doesn't care - then a creator doesn't care too

[echo moon]

okay lol

[cold pulsar]

Does anybody know if there's a plugin of the texture this grey ground the water fountain and alley tree use but as terrain?
im not sure if this is the correct channel to ask this but.. idk where to find it ;-;

[burnt bramble]

Concrete decal

[cold pulsar]

That's different compared to what im trying to find

[warm comet]

💥

[stoic palm]

What does this have to do with plugins?

[warm comet]

There are some new plugins inside

[stoic palm]

Right carry on then

[dusty plover]

THANK YOU!!!

[burnt bramble]

Holy

Is that what I think it is???

[uncut acorn]

I don’t see them

[burnt bramble]

That's absolutely game changing

Not being sarcastic btw, I genuinely mean it

[uncut acorn]

Ohhh

The terrain fence elevation thing

[burnt bramble]

Yup

[uncut acorn]

Or I don’t know what should I call that but

[uncut acorn]

Tbh though they look super cool

[burnt bramble]

invisible bridges btw

[crimson basin]

okay so

[lunar snow]

That's cool

[crimson basin]

lets start with the cactus?

first take a 1x1 baseplate

its pinned in this channel as well

#plugin-discussion message

remember that a human is 3 pixels tall. use that to draw cacti

seems like they can grow pretty tall

let me show you how to draw it

its just two colours :)
you can do it

.... a cactus hotel? people living inside a cactus?

okay let me see

try to get this shape

see how i arranged the pixels

after youre done with that, give the cactus some colour gradient

dark side on the right and bottom

[crimson basin]

you didnt follow my guide

[crimson basin]

show

yeah

pixly doesnt autosave

Also are you using the baseplate?

i dont advice that

get rid of the baseplate when youre completely done

[crimson basin]

prettyyyy

[uncut acorn]

Nice

[thick mural]

A ball.

[paper river]

[gray apex]

Hello everyone, I would like to clarify a doubt I have about modifying files from the plugins download in the store. I want to know how I can adjust the rotation of this modular shopping mall here. I don't intend to share it with the general public, just fix it for personal use.

[tough whale]

🤷‍♂️

[cerulean whale]

Guys, I'd like to know if there are any requirements to join the Trusted Plugin Creators user group, I applied for a long time and didn't get through.

[slender briar]

wwhat goofy ahh stuff is going on in plugin community again

cap´n kek to the rescue

@vernal dragon yo man nice work

[crimson basin]

yes be a trusted plugin creator

:nom:

we dont know who you are 🤷‍♀️

[slender briar]

uuu whats a trusted creator?

[crimson basin]

a creator who has access to use otherwise blocked parts of code
for example monthly income

[slender briar]

ach uninteresting but thanks for explaining

[cerulean whale]

I submitted my application, but it never got through

[crimson basin]

like i said we dont even know who you are

[cerulean whale]

My username in the theotown forum is also NSGSEI

[crimson basin]

maybe it got rejected

ive already told you, to become a trusted plugin creator you need to be a trusted creator.

[cerulean whale]

What are the requirements for becoming a trusted developer, such as downloads and so on?

[crimson basin]

its what it says

[crimson basin]

going to ask you a question, would you trust a random person who comes to you and asks for a secret to tell them something that can ruin your life?

[misty pawn]

Dose it mean I need to submit personal info and such

[crimson basin]

lol no

[orchid sorrel]

lol what bunny

[crimson basin]

what?

[misty pawn]

Driving a huge bucket of molten stuff sounds like a good job

[crimson basin]

what do you meannn kulche?

[orchid sorrel]

wtf was that question

[misty pawn]

Anyway

[crimson basin]

i mean its kind of what it is right? same type of context

[orchid sorrel]

I don't think it's that dramatic

[crimson basin]

what if molten rocks turn into hard rocks

[crimson basin]

probably not lol cuase they can just reverse it but it seems like a good example

[misty pawn]

I didn't think much about it I was surprised that such a vehicle exist

🥹

[crimson basin]

there is?

[misty pawn]

Indeed

[crimson basin]

cool

looks like theres a pizza in there

yummy burnt pizza

[lunar snow]

You know your plugin is pretty good but the problem is the shadows

[languid burrow]

That's so amazing

I think that giant vehicle is making a pizza

[thick mural]

额殿

[misty pawn]

Yeah I still get a bit confused when it comes to smaller stuff

[violet bison]

hi

i need a desinner to make a plugin for me pls

[misty pawn]

Sup

[violet bison]

pls

[orchid sorrel]

#plugin-suggestions

[lunar snow]

Well that's why you make the base first

and not jumping straight to make the texture

[misty pawn]

I got sick waiting for people to do what I want maybe you should start doing them just like I did it's easy to learn

[misty pawn]

I more or less prepare part based on some measurements then assemble them

That's how I make most of my stuff

[violet bison]

I'm finding this difficult and I'm tired of trying to no avail, so I'm hoping someone can help me

[misty pawn]

What were you even tryin to make

[violet bison]

building

[misty pawn]

A big one?

[violet bison]

I find it difficult to coordinate the colors and quality of the building and make it realistic

[misty pawn]

Just make it with whatever color at first then slowly try getting the color you want

[violet bison]

There is no good app to do this

[misty pawn]

There is only good fingers

[orchid sorrel]

that's the worst argument you could use

[thick mural]

How do I properly segment a building?

[misty pawn]

Well it's hard getting used to apps at first

[orchid sorrel]

"segment"?

you mean use compositions?

[misty pawn]

Put a template under it and cut vertically at the end

[violet bison]

Yes, and also the quality of the phone

[orchid sorrel]

with that attitude there wouldn't be any plugins

[misty pawn]

Nah

[orchid sorrel]

of course it won't be piss easy at the beginning

[misty pawn]

It just feels like you are stopping yourself

😂bro just get an app and try

[violet bison]

Are you using a computer or phone?

[misty pawn]

Just a phone and a laggy app

[sage socket]

to any pixly user out there how do you remove these red grids

[violet bison]

Give me the name of the apps you use

[misty pawn]

Lemme check

View section

[misty pawn]

Pixly

[violet bison]

I have tried this application and it is fairly easy but I find it difficult to build some buildings such as towers in it

[misty pawn]

Start with something easy to practice

[orchid sorrel]

use paint net

[misty pawn]

Did you find it?

View section> configure grids > disable

[violet bison]

I know, but if you want to design a building that you like like a tower, I find it difficult for me

[orchid sorrel]

yeah because you have 0 experience

[misty pawn]

Well ...

That

🥹so sugarcoating

No'

[violet bison]

yes

[midnight obsidian]

That can be very much expected from europeans lol

[violet bison]

hi

[misty pawn]

A Maghribi I see

[violet bison]

hhhh yess

[misty pawn]

Well if you have any questions just dm al3xir

[violet bison]

[misty pawn]

Yep

[crimson basin]

well we all started at nothing. We can all tell you that. Were open to helping you as much as youre committed to attempting and improving.

[lunar snow]

I see that we have another morrocan in the chat lol

[crimson basin]

kulche, using fun (i know theres a on touch attribute) is it possible to animate something when i press it till the end of the animation?

[orchid sorrel]

[violet bison]

Thank you

[orchid sorrel]

#town-memes message

[lunar snow]

2nd funniest thing i have seen today

[crimson basin]

if i used lua would you help 😭

[orchid sorrel]

no

[crimson basin]

great guess ill figure out fun then

[orchid sorrel]

lol

use whatever you wish and see how far you can get

there should be some actions for animation control

[midnight obsidian]

no

[orchid sorrel]

what are we looking at

[midnight obsidian]

@lunar snow where's the ultimate plugin creation guide

[crimson basin]

sounds like youre waiting to see mw fail lmao

no i told you, make the top the same as the bottom

[orchid sorrel]

please look up a guide

[crimson basin]

2 pixels then up

i assume if i used fun it would make things easier for me

[orchid sorrel]

depends what is 'easier'

[crimson basin]

theres more than one definition of easier?

[midnight obsidian]

bunny

[crimson basin]

it all goes back to lua

[midnight obsidian]

there's like a thousand times more documentation on lua than fun

[orchid sorrel]

you're almost there

[crimson basin]

yeah but id have to learn lua, it lost me at tables

[orchid sorrel]

I don't think you need tables for that

[lunar snow]

I will immediaely make it once i get my pc

[midnight obsidian]

i'll keep that in mind

hear me out

a guide on how to use a guide

[lunar snow]

fr💀

Well there are tutorials on how to use shampoo so

[crimson basin]

theres tutorials on how to drink water

so when leaf tutorial coming out?

tell pc fixing dude to hurry up

[orchid sorrel]

please google isometric projection

[crimson basin]

does fun also start from 0? 😭

theres kids making plugins lol so i wouldnt agree

[misty pawn]

First Time I see such

[crimson basin]

fr its just 2 pixels then a height adjustment

cube is the easiest shape

i hate to break it to ya

but if youre in grade 5 youre probably not old enough to be here

https://youtu.be/Lp3L1136hAk this link

youre how old, 11?

i will but use the video to help you

you can come back once youre 13

Case #4130

raffaevanoaj was banned for the following reason: You are under the allowed age as defined in Discord's Terms of Service.

[orchid sorrel]

ok that escalated quickly

[crimson basin]

i feel bad for the kid :(

but discord ToS

[quasi hornet]

It sounds like a joke

He won't

[crimson basin]

i was serious, if he wants, he can appeal his ban once hes 13

whether he wants or not is up to him

[quasi hornet]

Yeah he will be waits 2 years

Of course

[orchid sorrel]

what

what is your problem, he is underage and it's not compliant with the tos

[sage socket]

yes thank u

[lunar snow]

This is njce

[tough whale]

Yeah

[opal phoenix]

who wants free lettuce

[crimson basin]

that is off topic, use #general

[crimson basin]

help 😭
idk what im doing

okay its somewhat working

good enough for today

i got it moving up, (its placed on the pink tile)

but need to fix the graphics tmmr and make it move how i want it to

[deft canyon]

Sno flak

[lunar snow]

Cool

[burnt bramble]

what do you all think of this decal?

[uncut acorn]

I prefer the sand blend deco by Fitamint/Chipper, but this looks good

[quasi hornet]

I understand it rightly? To make a non-isometric building, creator must do 2 versions with different positions?

[lunar snow]

It's non isometric

you can do anything

[quasi hornet]

Seems you didn't got me

My comrade has a problem with non-isometric houses that he wants to make modular

But those can't be modular, if he won't do 2 versions of them. With different positions like the image i sent

[lunar snow]

Oh i think i get your idea now

Ye you probably have to do that

[quasi hornet]

Hmm
