[little shoal]

I sent a dm

[lunar snow]

credit to vonark for the plane of course

[dreamy hearth]

@rain gate Regarding ur suggestion, I might consider making this for a future build
#plugin-suggestions message

As for u @lapis moat u want me to remaster the wtc pack from the forums or recreate the whole thing?

[dusty hill]

jeez

my plugins doesn't seem popular

[orchid scroll]

which one

[dusty hill]

both

i should stop my lazyness and make those plugins

[orchid scroll]

it is what it is

[humble iron]

It's what it's

[red lintel]

its it what is

[uncut acorn]

Woah

[uncut acorn]

it is what it is

[lapis moat]

If you wanna

[lunar snow]

i plan to cut those planes into multiple pieces

so people can fit it into gates

[rain gate]

😭

[chrome patio]

should I change something, or is everything good?

[dapper light]

The mask feels bit too dark

Bit more gray-ish would be perfect

[slender briar]

id saturate it a bit more ngl but structure looks good

and id give it a shadow under the roof line

[rain gate]

more depth

its fine but... yeah it didnt have enough depth

[uncut acorn]

How many months or days of progress…

[patent swift]

half year already

I unfortunately do it very slowly, but I try to make it as realistic as possible

I still have about the same amount left to do (if I also do the District Court, which I will definitely do), I wonder if I will also do the rest of the part for six months?

[chrome patio]

WIP Sienkiewicza 6 Street, Lodz, Poland

[chrome patio]

finished 🥳

[iron heron]

Are there any steampunk age styled plugin packs?

[uncut acorn]

Two similar plugins in one week #plugin-showcase message

[urban grove]

So? Is there a problem with that

[lunar snow]

i think he's just trying to say that it's such a coincidence event

[crimson basin]

I can explain it to ya

they both were in review at the same time

no one copied

one just got approved a day later

Huge coincidence, even showed kulche when it happened

[echo prairie]

Textures @misty pawn

[uncut acorn]

Nothing

I’m just trying to let you know, not arguing someone
||bro thinks that I’m arguing to that but literally I’m not bullying||

[uncut acorn]

I never say “there was a problem” on my own thinking

[uncut acorn]

Well I don’t argue about someone copying other’s work but different textures

[crimson basin]

mhm

i think its pretty cool

they got submitted one day after the other i believe

st the time neither was approved

[lapis moat]

@lunar snow
We do have a Times Square pack, it's just that most the buildings in times Square are kinda just random buildings that are probably scattered throughout the forums.

[uncut acorn]

But I’m saying that they made it look good

[lunar snow]

We do have other buildings of WTC on the forum right?

What matters here is the quality

[humble iron]

I think so

[uncut acorn]

Currently being inactive due to class stuff so I can’t read new messages here

[lapis moat]

Yeah, also the fact I can't find it myself

[humble iron]

Look harder

I'm sure it's still there

Just scattered around

It's like a hunt of some sort

[lapis moat]

Too lazy, and too small brain

[humble iron]

Alr that's reasonable

[lapis moat]

One day I'll go on a search anyway

Which was today
Yet again found nothing

[lunar snow]

Nice

[iron heron]

Eh no answer ;-; imma ask again

Are there like steampunk styled plugins?

Or like industrial era buildings

Some along with a little tech touch to it

Scifi but not futuristic or modern

[urban grove]

I have no idea but you could suggest it in #plugin-suggestions

[lapis moat]

Yooo it's the bean

banger song for plugin making

[crimson basin]

[slender briar]

kinda

[crimson basin]

it is

[slender briar]

its weird af but im tired of the same old 1xfloor x30

[crimson basin]

i like your choice of colours

[slender briar]

complementaries for the win

[crimson basin]

doesnt look very fun

but sure is pretty

[slender briar]

thankuuu

[slender briar]

it aint

and i can allready hear it

NiGhT FrAmEs

he he hell naw

[crimson basin]

pls dont make night frames lol

looks humungous

[slender briar]

400 px tall

[crimson basin]

i cannot imagine how much night frames would be (if you arent using ians tool) or how un optimised in texture space

[slender briar]

bye bye plugin space but it is what it is

[crimson basin]

so much better to not have it

honestly if i were you, id just make the whole building light up if i did xD

[slender briar]

sheesh yeah

[crimson basin]

the whole building is made out of lights

[slender briar]

maybe

i was thinking like 2-3 spotlights on it

[crimson basin]

dont make it lol

oooh

like at the bottom?

[slender briar]

yesh

[crimson basin]

sounds like a good idea

[crimson basin]

why are some windows long?

also whats the reference?

[slender briar]

my brain

[slender briar]

experimenting

[crimson basin]

very creative

[slender briar]

i made more unique idea plugins as normal real life stuff but most is unreleased

[crimson basin]

my brain has just been writing a 100 line json

gonna probably over 2000 if i finish it

[slender briar]

some xamples

[slender briar]

aaaaa

im sorry for u

[crimson basin]

ooh interesting

[slender briar]

these are OOOOOLD

old af

[crimson basin]

its self inflicted lmao, its not even the most efficient way of doing it

the most efficient way is just boring

[slender briar]

lol hard work over boring work

[crimson basin]

can tell

[crimson basin]

its mostly copy pasting, just time consuming

[slender briar]

hm

[crimson basin]

im still keeping it a secret from kulche or id say here

[slender briar]

damn i used to have weird ideas

[slender briar]

ooooh

[crimson basin]

they are cute

i cannot do shadows properly, or else id go crazy

[uncut acorn]

Now these are some future stuff

He is asking what plugin this is not you guys saying just bean around

[stoic palm]

I mean it's literally the bean...

Not sure what you want from them

[mellow frigate]

Did someone made the jeddah tower or the burj Khalifa or a taller one ???

[uncut acorn]

Asking if it’s released yet or not

[stoic palm]

Then your wording of that was poor xD

[uncut acorn]

Lmao

Nvm

[mellow frigate]

Um ?

[stoic palm]

Saying um doesn't make people respond faster

Unless you want me to say idk and not be helpful

[mellow frigate]

Might work

[stoic palm]

It doesn't and I will warn you for it 🙂

[mellow frigate]

Um no

[stoic palm]

I wasn't asking lol

I was telling you for the future

[mellow frigate]

Uhm no bruh

[rain gate]

"I would like to humbly decline your warn🗿"

[mellow frigate]

Um u huh ?

Did someone made the jeddah tower or the burj Khalifa or a taller one ???

[orchid scroll]

both exist

[slender briar]

um no bruh💀 💀 💀

[orchid scroll]

[slender briar]

Uhm no bruh, take a brake

[rain gate]

🕳️

[orchid scroll]

[slender briar]

Lmao

[uncut acorn]

The Jeddah Tower plugin existed in forum

The Burj Khalifa plugin existed in store

true.

[strange cloud]

Vonark made really tall version of burj Khalifa

[urban grove]

I've seen the left one in the plugin store before i think. Kekman you've made a lot of really weird looking buildings i love it!

[dreamy hearth]

Are you gonna make a futuristic buildings pack?

Cuz like ngl we need more people who make futuristic plugins

[lunar snow]

eh i will see about it

[weak kestrel]

Is that available in forum or in store ?!

[frigid tusk]

Are you a Megapolis designer or what?

[steep knoll]

anyone have a age of sail plugin?

[rain gate]

Ai tries to write a plugin?

[rain gate]

wow

[rain gate]

yep

also now i find my inspiration tq

[urban grove]

Private

[mellow frigate]

Where can I download it then because I can't find in store

[urban grove]

You can find the Burj Khalifa in the store. But there's a better and taller version in VPS server
The Jeddah tower can be found on the forums
https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?p=195152&hilit=Jeddah#p195152

[mellow frigate]

[mellow frigate]

Oke

[steep knoll]

[mellow frigate]

If it's made can I pls pls pls have plug-in @surreal oasis

if the community wishes hell yeah

[slender briar]

btw taking name requests for this one

[frigid tusk]

"The Sharked" cause it looks like the shard

[slender briar]

a bit too unoriginal but good idea

[frigid tusk]

im not good at name stuff

Commercial building 578

[frigid tusk]

you're not wrong

[slender briar]

[slender briar]

Australis

my old RP country

im trying to bring it back+

[crimson basin]

oooh

I mean up to you lol

[slender briar]

all of this is old australis based content

back then like 90% of my plugin content was australis relate

[lunar snow]

you and alpha would make a good collab

check out his tank

[slender briar]

uuuu

it has cyan too

i used to make everything in cyan

[lunar snow]

lol

[slender briar]

all of this is unreleased or unfinished australis stuff

[lunar snow]

[slender briar]

yesh, 2019

all my horrid old stuff

[urban grove]

Yes please. Futuristic stuff are cool

[lunar snow]

pls collab with alpha

[slender briar]

welp time for a remaster

[lunar snow]

[urban grove]

There's a decent amount of people who want futuristic/cyberpunk theme buildings

[lunar snow]

Kekman and Alpha_Kraf Futuristic Military Equipment Pack

lol

another plane made by him

[slender briar]

could finish this damn

[lunar snow]

[urban grove]

Another one made by alpha

[lunar snow]

man is talented

and he does his stuff on pixel too

[crimson basin]

kek old plugin dump lol

[lunar snow]

ultra respect

[urban grove]

Alpha plugins are genuinely underrated

[lunar snow]

yep

i really respect people who make great plugins with pixly lol

pixly*

[crimson basin]

crazy how far youve come along

[slender briar]

Piskel for life

[lunar snow]

lol

paint.net for me

[slender briar]

Ive made absolutely every plugin ever in piskel

No tools, just eraser, select, pencil, and 4 pencil thickness levels

[lunar snow]

nice

[crimson basin]

no way lol

[slender briar]

Took a pic on phone

But thats all that piskel has

[crimson basin]

i use a combination of pixly and pianot.net. Never really finish abything on pixly anymore though

[slender briar]

Pc or phone?

[urban grove]

You use this to make Cologne Cathedral?!?!?!

[crimson basin]

pixly is phone paint.net is pc

[urban grove]

You're insane man

[slender briar]

Yep

[crimson basin]

i use pixly when im out and about

then come home and trasfer the incomplete work to pc

(and then it never gets finished)

[crimson basin]

minus the blue lines this was pixly

[slender briar]

uuu looks nice

[crimson basin]

youre insane lol

[slender briar]

thanks, its my fave compliment

[urban grove]

Hey umm people are complaining about the ground not having any decorations. Could you fix that? The least you can do is add people

[crimson basin]

what do you mean "the least you can do"

is the cathedreal not enough?

[slender briar]

oh hell no

[crimson basin]

people can complain just leave em be 🤷‍♀️

[slender briar]

it had a base and i got complaints now it doesnt i get complaints

take it or leave it man the community cant decide for anything

[crimson basin]

^^

dont put it all on the creators

[urban grove]

At least they're not complaining about not having night animation

[crimson basin]

people cant stop complaining about the plugin creators not meeting their wants
but will complain when the plugin creator quits

[urban grove]

Rockfort :(

[crimson basin]

in a nutshell

just be thankful to people like kek making insane plugins

and not worry about the "fine details"

[red lintel]

The level of detail is

[slender briar]

Lot of time on my hands

[inner grove]

Can i have that plugin?

Guys i really want to have this aircraft carrier but i cant find it in store, pls help me

[urban grove]

You can join Forge server to get

[urban grove]

I believe those ships are by Efranz but you need to find a server to download it. Not sure which one tho

[inner grove]

How? Any link?

[lapis moat]

Yes, there's a link

[dusty hill]

hope there will be official plugin for the April fools city loading screens

[lapis moat]

Maybe

[orchid sorrel]

there will

[lapis moat]

Kulche confirmed

[urban grove]

👀

[slender briar]

middle shard complete

all of this work just cuz i hate windows lmao

[slender briar]

base 1 done

its a bit too extreme but its still wip

[crimson basin]

sparklyyyyyy

[slender briar]

small change

[crimson basin]

oh yea that change looks better

[slender briar]

makes more sense perspective wise

actual look

[crimson basin]

acrazy

is there not a faster way to do that lol

[slender briar]

actually probs yes

but f that drawing that pixel for pixel is kinda therapeutic

[crimson basin]

lol

[lunar snow]

i hope this one does match game graphics

[crimson basin]

what if it doesnt

[lunar snow]

it probably will once he is done

what doesnt match the game graphics is non-isometric structures according to ja

[orchid sorrel]

lol what

[lunar snow]

well a guy's plugin got rejected from the plugin store

he said it got rejected because it is non-isometric

so it doesnt fit the game graphics

[frigid tusk]

just because it's not isometric?

[lunar snow]

well that's what he said

[urban grove]

How big is this?

[slender briar]

400 px

uhh it is isometric

isometric doesnt consist of just 22.5 degree angles

as long as its done right it can be isometric and still have more angles

this is still isometric

just warped kinda

looks out of placec but still isometric

[orchid sorrel]

we don't disapprove plugins for not being "isometric" (in laymans terms), at least not anymore

[slender briar]

i mean the whole diagonal houses and stuff, very strictly taken are not isometric

they are top down but theoretically not isometric

[orchid sorrel]

I mean an isometric transformation is a transformation that preserves the shape and scale of an element

[slender briar]

yeah its all kinda weird and theoretical

[orchid sorrel]

what I mean is that we don't disapprove plugins for not being all in isometric projection

[slender briar]

yeah theotown is mixed

[orchid sorrel]

because that would be pretty stupid

[slender briar]

we got oblique, and isometric as far as i know

and angles between

its more about the top down perspective and proper projection than the exact 22.5 angle

30 degree correction

[crimson basin]

i drew question marks in my head when i first saw the disapproval

which was like my first day as a plugin mod while i was going through old approvals and disapprovals

[slender briar]

i never got disaproval cuz of angles

[crimson basin]

i dont think anyone does

okay actually some people should (the ones that get disapproved anyway)

[slender briar]

i mean some plugins should have cuz damn some fugg itt up

FOR EXAMPLE

goddamn

peeps please

plus lots of people get collumns wrong

and pointed buildings

its not that easy but pencil study helps

[crimson basin]

yeha that statue looks wrong

[orchid sorrel]

I mean this particular one was suspended shortly after approval

[slender briar]

lul

i mean its gotten better, back then some darned things used to get confirmed

[crimson basin]

dont blame them for that, not everyone knows how to do it

[slender briar]

i aint blamin, plus its very subtle

but its a detail that you get with the experience

[crimson basin]

i was meaning to approve some plugins but i keep getting distracted

sometimes i wonder how i get anything done at all, 90% i dont

kulche since im never finishing it, do you want to see what i was doing?

I had more progress but I forgot to save it and my laptop decided to close all my apps while i was sleeping

[orchid sorrel]

this is thoroughly disturbing

also, you know you can define colors as separate drafts right

[crimson basin]

i mean practically each pixel was a different colour at that point

2x2 was a bad idea, but i was too lazy to draw something new

[orchid sorrel]

no idea I don't wish to take a closer look

[crimson basin]

youve seen the purple house

all of this makes one line if the house

ive showed it to you and you asked me what i was doing lol

[orchid sorrel]

I'm aware

[crimson basin]

new plan

im gonna do what kek said

[dreamy hearth]

Aight

Ngl I kinda wish for it

I wanna continue making mine as well but I burned out making that so I'm focusing on other projects for now

[deft canyon]

Nightclub? I think I got one of those plugins one time. :)

[slender briar]

It was released before i got my plugins deleted😔

[empty night]

Oh, i think i still have them

[surreal oasis]

What?

[surreal oasis]

Man i hate it when cool plugins become private plugins

[river copper]

Is this file a plugin?

[red lintel]

a plugins code

[stoic palm]

Seeing as the name is .json

[red lintel]

not the plugin itself

[stoic palm]

what you you think

[river copper]

I know

[river copper]

So the code author only completed the code section？

When do you think he will release this plugin?

[stoic palm]

Read the convo

rather than just asking me questions...

[river copper]

Okay

I think it will be a long time before he can release this plugin

[stoic palm]

It's also a she

[crimson basin]

its an un finished plugin. if you save a png file called pixel.png thats the size 1 pixel it would work

it draws the plugin pixel by pixel but i decided the plugin was too big to finish

[crimson basin]

also, i wont

apparently, it takes a crazy amount of draw calls. while normally, it would take one draw call for a building, the house would take over 1300 plus draw calls when i did some quick calculations

also

i plan on releasing the actual png - which is the house

and 4 colour varients of it

[iron heron]

What else zones in plugins are there like suburban, slum and pedestrian zones?

[trim blade]

Generic American buildings?

There's also custom zones in the forum

[mystic swallow]

how to make diagonal bridge like this?

[burnt bramble]

You just have to draw the frames diagonally

[lunar snow]

han

[lunar snow]

done

[red lintel]

Han

[lunar snow]

Han

[orchid sorrel]

the text is going to be unreadable when you zoom out a tiny bit

but still, pretty nice that it doesn't look that far from vanilla style

[lunar snow]

thanks

plan to remake TLMEP icon into the same style

like

[teal pivot]

Do ya'llp recommend any building plugins?

Cuz I rlly need some for the city's looks

[lunar snow]

my honest tips is that you download every buildings you find beautiful on the plugin store

[teal pivot]

Here's the thing

I don't find any

So I resorted to asking you guys

Ya'll are more experienced so you should know more about plugins

[orchid sorrel]

if you can't find a plugin for a building in a city builder game then that's on you lol

just open the plugin store and take a look around, there's a lot of stuff to be found

[teal pivot]

I did that, but yet again

I didn't find any interesting ones

Want regulated buildings like skyscrapers

[orchid sorrel]

...regulated?

[teal pivot]

Do you recommend

[teal pivot]

As in look not too fancy

And have night mode

[orchid sorrel]

also I bet there's a lot of skyscrapers on the plugin store, just search for them

[teal pivot]

(I'm new to all this)

Aight then

I mean, check my city on #city-showcase

If you see it needs something, tag me

While I'm gonna go search for plugins

[urban grove]

Check my plugin list

[trim blade]

American buildings is good, it has a Zone so the buildings fit together

[teal pivot]

Does it have night animation?

[trim blade]

Never really checked it doesn't matter to me

Maybe

[teal pivot]

It doesn't

Since the creator doesn't feel like it

[lunar snow]

Check Dual plugin list

[trim blade]

Would you put in a lot of work for something a fraction of people would use?

[trim blade]

Agree 👍🏼

Good things, especially for a European city

[lunar snow]

Well night frames are kinda one of the main features ngl

[trim blade]

Eh

I guess

[lunar snow]

But of course we dont force anyone to make it

[trim blade]

It's nice and all, but I don't really play with night mode that much

[teal pivot]

@urban grove does the European Buildings Plugin have night mode?

[trim blade]

🦅

[teal pivot]

Also it has short buildings

I want modern buildings that would match with my city

Ik I'm asking a lot

Just want to make myself proud ;-;

[trim blade]

What is wrong with short buildings in a modern city?

[teal pivot]

They wouldn't match with the skyscrapers

Would they?

[trim blade]

Depends how you use them imo

[teal pivot]

Considering I took a lot of space with base TheoTown buildings

Which upgrade into skyscrapers on their own

And have real time mode on

I don't think they would work really well

But yet again

Ya'll know more

I have 1 week of experience

How do I Delete plugins

[urban grove]

Click the bulldozer icon. It's right next the button where you download the plugin or go the game files and remove it

[urban grove]

Not sure. I didn't bother to check

[teal pivot]

Thanks

[teal pivot]

They don't

[urban grove]

That's a shame but i don't change to night mode often.

[teal pivot]

I have real time mode on

[uncut acorn]

Ooh nice icon

[lunar snow]

Thanks

[slender briar]

sup

[red lintel]

haii kek!!!!1!

[slender briar]

hello

work keeps goin

[deft canyon]

Wacku

[orchid sorrel]

yes

I still have no idea why did you decide to go through the pain of placing every window by hand

[slender briar]

cuz

IM KEKMAN

HAHA

i love being the mad hatter of the plugin worldä

[urban grove]

Interesting color choice. What will you call this building? It's definitely something from the future

[slender briar]

Either Australis GZ or Tyriol Center

part of my australis revival

[slender briar]

wacku?

another panel done

[deft canyon]

Wacky

[crimson basin]

Ouuu its almost done?

[slender briar]

almost

[slender briar]

i love the right side pattern

[slender briar]

hahaa

[slender briar]

base is gonna be funky too ofc ä

idk what im doing but it aint boring

[urban grove]

You gonna add details on the roof or the roof will look like that

[slender briar]

for now

[slender briar]

haha

there it is

it is really on the border of theotown style

for better viewing

[urban grove]

Not gonna lie. This doesn't even look like it comes from TheoTown. Will you use animation on this to save up plugin space

[slender briar]

@stoic palm what you think

[slender briar]

how the

how

there is basically no repetition in it ä

[urban grove]

Ok

[slender briar]

i mean if it was 1000 floors thrown on eachother it would work but nah#

[stoic echo]

Very nice work

[slender briar]

thanks

[stoic echo]

Did you have some inspiration or did you come up with this design

[urban grove]

I like the ground, very futuristic looking

[slender briar]

all of it my own idewa

[stoic echo]

Damn youre creative

[urban grove]

No inspiration? Wow you're creative. I'm not creative enough to make something like that

[slender briar]

yeah i mean no inspiration is inexistent cuz every idea an artist has is an amalgamation of experiences in life and images but i mean

i just drew it with no inspo

might have some subconscious inspiration from the shard

[crimson basin]

the way you would use animations is, you would slice it into chunks and crop around the "chunks" and use x and y attributes to build it

[slender briar]

yeah ik but doesnt that only work with that bottom middle top system?

[crimson basin]

wdym

[slender briar]

i mean using animations wouldnt save space

[crimson basin]

its like just cutting off the empty space on the side

[slender briar]

ah that

that lil space on the sides

[crimson basin]

technically not very little lol

could fit a couple smaller buildings into that space

[stoic palm]

I think it fits your style perfectly

[crimson basin]

hi evan

[crimson basin]

ground looks interestin

[slender briar]

a blast from the past ,i love it, its the new look of the tyriol corp and the australis federation

[crimson basin]

can you please convince kulche to slice the plugin and use animations lol

[slender briar]

yeah ok but i myself stick to as little coding as it gets cuz im an artist no coder

[crimson basin]

i know thats why i said convince kulche lol

i hate finding x and y

actually x isnt too hard

theres a trick for x

y is the hard one

y isnt hard on small stufff either , just hard with big stuff

[stoic palm]

Also given the shape I'm not sure where you all think any form of animation would be useful

[crimson basin]

the sides evan

usually the thing with skyscrapers

its not the repetition but rather empty pixels on the side

[slender briar]

red pixels

minus the top, top gets cut before end versionä

[stoic palm]

Sounds like hobgob

[slender briar]

goddamn look at the size difference

bro my new tower aint even that big smh

jesus the base on the ark tower

cant believe i drew this

reehee alee stick

[urban grove]

That's actually really small. I thought it was gonna be really taller than that (I'm talking about the far left building)

[slender briar]

yeah it felt bigger while drawing

but 400 px

hmm

but i mean the ark tower is huge

the citadel is in retrospect kinda small

but i wouldnt make it bigger

it has render problems at certain zoom levels already

[crimson basin]

does this kinda make sense?

[lapis moat]

Meanwhile in Half Life: Literally twice the size of the Burj Kalifha

[slender briar]

yeah but again its just not doable in a functioning state

theotown just cant

This is why i quit plugin making 4 times alread

[lapis moat]

No, no not twice

Like 4 times it's size lmao

[slender briar]

yes

[crimson basin]

i think its crazy how the new tower looks so smol next to these

[slender briar]

5833 pixels

[crimson basin]

whats the base size? in tiles

[lapis moat]

Yeah

[crimson basin]

i saw a 1000

[slender briar]

on the new one?

[crimson basin]

ye

[slender briar]

5x5

im not even sure if ill release it

[lapis moat]

Sooo.. how many tiles is..

[slender briar]

cuz now im pissed man ngl

[lapis moat]

860 meters..?

[crimson basin]

how come? somethink i said?

[slender briar]

so first release people complain ughhh the base is ugly

and now

ugh the base is empty

f that f everythinf

i give 2 weeks of my life to draw some nice effing sheet for theotown and this is what i get again

[crimson basin]

i know kek :(

community kinda sucks sometimes

[lapis moat]

Pro tip: Don't acknowledge them

[slender briar]

god i miss the old times

forum days were better

before the store

[crimson basin]

can i give you a virtual hug? you dont deserve all the negative criticism

[slender briar]

thanks

[crimson basin]

also what dual said to you on discord was horribly worded

[slender briar]

its just sheet cuz i worked on the cologne cathedral trough my first breakup, i was broken af and i still pushed 5 hours a day into it

[crimson basin]

im sorry to hear that kek :(

[slender briar]

if theres a plugin that i made with whatever heart i had left its the cathedral

[slender briar]

its ok, u aint the people thats complaining

[crimson basin]

ill beat the crap out of all those people if i could lmao

[slender briar]

id just steal their pcs so they cant comment nothing anymore

[crimson basin]

ill knock some sense into them

im rarely a violent person but these people pisses me off as much as you do

[slender briar]

yeah

damn looking back

monte had a damn unique style

@stoic palm remember?

[crimson basin]

ive kinda never done anything the community wanted, just me messing around and learning stuff and sharing what i make

[slender briar]

thats worry free

[crimson basin]

you should see all the bot comments on my plugins xD

[slender briar]

i remember the reports

reported sexual was always the funniest thing ever

[crimson basin]

reports are still crazy man

[slender briar]

yeah i seen it

[crimson basin]

my god i have 71 forum notifications

😭

[slender briar]

ow

[lapis moat]

Yikes

[lapis moat]

Yikes (Part two)

[crimson basin]

oh yeah this is my favourite plugin ive ever made

[lapis moat]

Yeah, looks like an act of terrorism to me

[crimson basin]

would update if it werent for most changes might probably break the whole code

[lapis moat]

Alright, let's gather a deranged explanation
Someone tried bombing the strip night club

[slender briar]

broo abab

whats happened with him

[crimson basin]

hes still around :)

[rain gate]

wow i never thought id see you posting sexual stuff 😔

[crimson basin]

abab replied to me on forums and asked us to stop quoting lol

he just doesnt use discord

[slender briar]

lol

god i miss im too

[crimson basin]

he said hi to me when i joined the tele group

McDonalds lol

[crimson basin]

you should say hi to him on the forums, hes still active there

[slender briar]

i will

but even bigger stuff

what happened to theo?

[crimson basin]

theo left

[slender briar]

he was gone even back when i joinedä

[crimson basin]

i assume you mean the creator theo?

hes not around anymore, guess he moved on

[slender briar]

huh

his location is written as ruhrgebiet

im there every second month

maybe i walked past theo without knowing it

[crimson basin]

lmao, going to visit him too? xD

[slender briar]

i would

i would

meeting lobby is one thing but meeting the theo in theotown

[crimson basin]

whats the most reports you have on your plugins lol

[slender briar]

idk

broo

in 2 weeks ill be 30 mins away from theos city

i managed to find out what city he originates in in ruhrgebiet and im in the next city over in 2 weeks

goddamn i feel like a 4chan user

finding out where people live

[crimson basin]

ooh you have 20 reports on the parliament of budapest lol

[slender briar]

huh

bots

[lapis moat]

Budapest is dangerous!!1!1

[crimson basin]

its very sexual too lmao

[lapis moat]

"Parliament makes you.. different"

[crimson basin]

kinda got annoyed at some point and asked lobby if we cant just get rid of reports lol. Cause reports are pretty much useless at this point

even iif there was a serious report, it will get drowned over all the spam ones

[slender briar]

yeah

plus everything gets tested before

[rain gate]

im starting to see a trend here

[lapis moat]

Budapest:
Is sexual.
Is dangerous.
Violates human rights.
Has very bad behavior.

[slender briar]

agreed

[crimson basin]

i mean i can delete the funny reports but it doesnt do anything

[slender briar]

yeah theyll be back

cant u ban the report makers?

[crimson basin]

sometimes stuff gets approved then suspended

[slender briar]

lul

[crimson basin]

its anonymous

the report system is there just to keep the app store happy

🤷‍♀️

i find it humorous sometimes and sometimes annoying

but they dont affect rating in anyway and no one but you and plugin mods can see

kek, i like your roman villa pool

[slender briar]

uu thanks

im going for a smoke

[crimson basin]

kek, wrong channel

post in #general

[dusty hill]

and here we go again...

[humble iron]

What building pack is this?

[strange crag]

"infringes my rights"

[rugged bay]

Is there an updated asset file of the latest version of theotown? I played around with almost all of the assets I got off of the site and I noticed a lot are missing. Or I haven't looked deep enough? But if there is an updated one if anyone can point me to it that would be great!

[orchid sorrel]

premium assets aren't publicly available

stuff like landmarks, the large fire station, etc

[rugged bay]

How does one become a premium to get those premium assets? Lol I kinda got a little too hooked on this.

[orchid sorrel]

these are only shared to trusted members

or if you beg me hard enough

[rugged bay]

Lol I will ping every single person and I will cry and message in every channel until I get it!!

[orchid sorrel]

I could send you specific assets if you need them for a plugin you're making

please do not

[rugged bay]

I'll take a screenshot of a project I'm working on so you don't think im one of those! I'll pm you.

I just realized so many of the forum posts are dated back 2017 or later. I'm so late on jumping on this game haha

[rain gate]

Wow

I have idea now

What if we make some Traditional Chinese Houses

[inland field]

hi there, i need help. i have been trying to find a plugin for lvl1 industries, but i cant find any

[rain gate]

Take any plugin in forum, and make it level one if it has a json

Easiest way for lvl1

[inland field]

i can do that on ios?

[rain gate]

That one idk

[inland field]

Ill look into into it

[red lintel]

something funny on the works...

[urban grove]

Another building in Warsaw?

[red lintel]

One beside the hotel thingy

This thingymabob

[weak kestrel]

@red lintel can you please make Marina bay sands in Singapore

[red lintel]

im not good at curvy buildings actually🥲

[dreamy hearth]

Dw I could help out if you really need

All you need is the mighty pythagorean theorem and then use a curved line for the hypotenuse

[red lintel]

Why do we need triangles to make curves🥹

[dreamy hearth]

It helps make an accurate/realistic curve

[slender briar]

If ur good enough you can just eye the curves

And pro level is finding an isonetric version of it and tracing it in theotown scale

[rugged bay]

I got the eggstation, egghospital, university of Egg and Egg Firestation LOLOL I'll continue making more. I am going to sleep haha

[lunar snow]

@rain gate

[orchid sorrel]

plugin space goes brrrr

[rugged bay]

I have a s23 and it lags pretty bad haha

[dusty hill]

#plugin-suggestions message damn, it is too hard for Anyone to make it

[rain gate]

🤯😏

[sinful wren]

can a .json file be converted into a .plugin file?

why can't I use the plugin that I downloaded from the forum whose file is .zip
but if the file is .plugin it can be used

[dreamy hearth]

You convert a .zip file to a .plugin file not a json

Also you can actually use a .zip file

[dreamy hearth]

I kinda wanna but it'd take too much plugin space

Even more than Shanghai Tower or that one building snowballrtz made

[crimson basin]

both should work

i have un zipped files that work

also fun fact: non zip folders dont need manifest files (the pop up)

[chrome patio]

Small pack of historic buildings!

[humble iron]

Oh cool

[crimson basin]

ooh, they look nice, could use a little polishing though. But great potential, keep it up!

[chrome patio]

Funfact - I made some of these buildings in 2020-2022, but now I'm updating them

And thanks!

[mystic osprey]

17/10

Moderne, RAAAAH

[crimson basin]

oooh i do like the wall aging

but roof i dont think im a huge fan of just yet, but thats an improveme t from the old one

[red lintel]

You have great potential! I love it!
you just need a bit more practice on how to apply shading and depth

[rugged bay]

Ive been watching one piece a lot lately and I'm gonna make a bunch of random one piece structures. I'm at the season where luffy fights daflamingo and I wanna make the statue of pica! Haha

[lunar snow]

The updated version is beautiful

[urban grove]

Some really great looking buildings there. You've got potential

[red lintel]

NO WAY!!

100k less go!!

[uncut acorn]

Congrats

Very special

[sinful wren]

how to?

why is this?

[pure granite]

is 12px the ideal length of an electrical pole in tt?

[humble iron]

[chrome patio]

Thanks!

[chrome patio]

This is my private plugin, I want to publish it when I will finish all buildings

[rain gate]

ooo

tho i want the file in zip, opposed to the ones in store

[rain gate]

soo uhh will you publish it in forum?

(forum)

[chrome patio]

I want to publish it in forum, but this is my first plugin and I need to learn how to do it

[chrome patio]

I have every building in zip!

[rain gate]

wow now that makes it 100% better!

tho i just want to change codes because level 3

better and superior than lvl 1

[strange cloud]

Just a bunch of new variations that'll be added in Indonesia Transport Pack V8.2b (Also added new click sounds to BB203,BB204,BB306,CC300,CC207/DF4D,CR 400 AF,and EMU's)

[crimson basin]

[woven fossil]

Hello, this may be a really strange question, But I was wondering for quite a while. What plugins do devs use in loading images for phone version, And for photos on steam?

[crimson basin]

what do you mean?

[woven fossil]

@crimson basin the images that you see when the game is loading

[crimson basin]

the loading texts?

or the city images?

[woven fossil]

city images

[crimson basin]

or do you mean the april fools screens

[crimson basin]

ah, those are event winners cities, they get shuffled every now and then to new ones

[woven fossil]

oh ok then

[crimson basin]

they are done through the game and not plugins

[woven fossil]

i mean i seen many plugins used in the images. For example simple parking lot plugin

[crimson basin]

oh so the images as i said are event winners and such. You can ask them which plugins they used if you are searching for them. I think it should be in #event-entries-cities are for the newest ones

[woven fossil]

ok, thanks!

[crimson basin]

the 3 winners are in #events

[chrome patio]

Btw these buildings have a small culture influence!

[indigo girder]

What is this plugin?

[indigo girder]

Server?

[hardy anvil]

I don't know whether I can send the server link here or not, but you can click the link in my bio

[indigo girder]

Thanks mate

[hardy anvil]

Np

[vernal dragon]

author @warm patrol

[strange cloud]

Planned 8.2b updates for Indonesia Transport Pack

I'll fix the alignment later after finishing making frames for new content.

[vernal dragon]

saint-peterburg buildings

[hardy anvil]

Cool

[static pollen]

I will make B777-300ER soon

[surreal oasis]

generic modular building

credits to devs for all assets used, as usual

particularly, a specific panel in a commercial building, concrete decal, as well as a concrete wall

[static sandal]

Lmao

I have to make them myself 💅

[red lintel]

I see its part of this building

[surreal oasis]

Yes

[lunar snow]

Nice

Make them modular

[static sandal]

Maybe need help for some color variations

[lunar snow]

sure

just send me the colors you want

and then i will repaint it

[static sandal]

Okay

First I have to finish all the shapes.

[strange cloud]

Just separate the walls with the rest (windows, concrete roof,etc.) then use animation. In the animation add:

  //Your animation
  {
  ...
    "colors":[
      "#COLORHEX"
    ]
  ...
  }

[haughty moth]

Nice

[strange cloud]

Here's an example of usage in my WIP new container. Which uses this animation method.

[strange cloud]

Redesigned Oil Tanker Wagon

[strange cloud]

Captions of course.

[dreamy hearth]

I was SO CLOSE to cancelling this project altogether simply cuz I could not draw a CIRCLE

[gaunt quartz]

Theres a website specifically made to do pixelated circles lol

I used it in minecraft

[dreamy hearth]

it won't fit

[gaunt quartz]

Hmm

Oh right...mb

[dreamy hearth]

this circle has a diameter of 2/3 of 158 pixels

I then had to use desmos sci cal

[bold veldt]

😭

[gaunt quartz]

Ahh

[mellow goblet]

Sauce?

[humble iron]

Private

[urban grove]

Not out yet

[bold veldt]

Why would u asking that?

[mellow goblet]

...

Sauce=source

[gaunt quartz]

Its just a misspeling of source

[bold veldt]

I know

[mellow goblet]

..Just for fun

[bold veldt]

Ok.

[humble iron]

No

I ain't buying that

[gaunt quartz]

breathes this is not related to ploogin deshcucion

[strange cloud]

Next: More Flatbed Freight Trains.

[crimson basin]

Is there like, no way to split your plugins into smaller ones than adding new stuff to the old plugin?

[gaunt quartz]

Maybe just make a seperate file containing the old files of the plugin?
Or am i just being dum dum
Also hi bunny

[crimson basin]

Hi

i mean it depends

maybe he can, maybe he cant

would appreciate if he could he does

[gaunt quartz]

Oki

[strange cloud]

All i can do is to split it into a railway and road pack.

Since Indonesia road pack is a merger.

[lunar snow]

the plugin store doesnt allow dependencies

those trains are located under a same category

if he wants to separate it he would have to make an entire new set of categories, which is annoying, takes a lot of time and only cause confusion for the players and the creators

[rain gate]

wow

[rain gate]

can i help with that?

[dreamy hearth]

maybe with another project

for now, I'm gonna do this project on my own

[rotund jasper]

Do anyone know what happened to the pagcor tower plugin? 😭 I've been scrolling through the app plugin section and I can't find it

[lapis stream]

pagcor tower?

[rotund jasper]

Yuh 🫠

Sadly i can't find any of his plugin 🥲

[crimson basin]

for categories, he can do once: true

that way he can define the same category each time
also, i didnt say he must do it, only if he could do it, but it would make it easier for everyone (him and plugin mods)

[crimson basin]

can you do it without removing the stuff already in the plugin without the update?

[rotund jasper]

I am the only one who notice some of the plugins got deleted 🤔 because i was looking for a specific plugin and i can't find it anywhere from the forum to the plugin store

[rain gate]

author most likely deleted them nothing you can do about it

[strange cloud]

I got this.

[dusty hill]

#plugin-suggestions message
no, no and NO

[crimson basin]

it wasnt directed at you...

[dusty hill]

Stop Posting abt that goddamn Skyscraper from this movie

[dusty hill]

That looks like the new US embassy in London

I love it

[gaunt quartz]

More non isometric bldgs

Nice

[strange crag]

technically they are isometric

[static sandal]

All variations

[trim blade]

Generic high density buildings

[gaunt quartz]

Compared to the other buildings...ehh not so much but yea

Technical wise they are infact isometric

[strange crag]

but they are though ☹️

[gaunt quartz]

Oki

[urban grove]

Japanese?
