What you need is to add noise to the walls

[static sandal]

Noise for 69 buildings 😭

[dreamy hearth]

[urban grove]

Did you put it in the right folder?

[twilit zenith]

Where folder?

The plugin one?

[urban grove]

Yes not the managed plugin one

[twilit zenith]

Yes i put that there

[urban grove]

Maybe check the categories like awards or landmark. It should be in the toolbox (or whatever it's called)

[twilit zenith]

No there is nothing

Oh yes there it is :>

[digital anvil]

Hello! Is there someone who can recommend a free android app for creating Plugins?

[rain gate]

Sure, btw please look pinned messages for the circle, it would fix it by alot

[rain gate]

You mean? Code? The image?

[digital anvil]

I mean a design app for plugins

Do we even need codes for plugins😩

[rain gate]

Yes🤑

[rain gate]

no you just shove it into the game and it magically works

[rain gate]

Soo to design shove in any pixel friendly art app you can. For most of us we use pixly. Then for codes just steal a forum code and edit them using cx explorer, easy

[digital anvil]

I didn't understand why we needed codes

Is this the app pixly you are talking about?

[rain gate]

Uhhhh

No

One by gustavo maciel 🤑

[digital anvil]

My device doesn't support it but I'll find a solution

[rugged bay]

Hey @orchid sorrel I am so sorry in advance for pinging but I pm you. Adhd kicked and I think it could be a nice plug in lol

[stoic palm]

I don't think pinging him makes him respond to DMs faster xD

[empty sigil]

Hey guys, I'm catching up on the plugins after coming back, which one would be better regarding the roads, the Philippines Roads, Advance road, or some other?

Btw, if there's any plugin that can say "You should have this plugin because it's spectacular" if you can tell me which is, i would appreciate it, thanks!

[dreamy hearth]

Even if I did it'd take me much longer than I really wanna

[dreamy hearth]

Using a mix of those is best

[rugged bay]

I'm in no rush lol been tweaking a lot with intersections and road layouts. Good time killer!

[mellow goblet]

I wonder why plugin in steam version is lesser

So how can I download plugin from website

[stoic palm]

what?

[mellow goblet]

..

[stoic palm]

That makes no sense lmao

.. doesn't answer it any better

[mellow goblet]

?

[stoic palm]

The thing I replied to makes no sense at all

[mellow goblet]

Indeed

[stoic palm]

(that's not a good thing)

[mellow goblet]

Btw how download plugin from website

[stoic palm]

You click the file

and it downloads

then

Ptag files

[agile forum]

TheoTown files are located under such directories:

• Windows: C:\Users\(insert username)\TheoTown or %USERPROFILE%\TheoTown
• Linux: ~/TheoTown
• MacOS: /user/TheoTown
• Android: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files
  By default you should be in /storage/emulated/0/. Uninstalling the game on Android will delete all files, unless you decide to keep the files when prompted by uninstaller.

If you cannot access game files through these directories, game has an in-built file manager for mobile devices which is accessible from the region view menu.

You can find your plugin, music, region and city files there as well as logs for debugging purposes.

[mellow goblet]

I mean for steam

[stoic palm]

use that file location

[mellow goblet]

I tried before but it's fail

[stoic palm]

Works the exact same as every other platfom

In terms of downloading

[mellow goblet]

Nah still abit different

Me back from campus first

[stoic palm]

For sure isn't...

[mellow goblet]

Bluestack and the rest can download

But steam cannot

Dunno

Sleep

[stoic palm]

There is no workshop if that's what you mean?

[mellow goblet]

Got

But lesser compared to android ver

[valid finch]

Does someone recomend me some nice USA plugins?

[stoic palm]

What do you mean?

I already asked that

That sentence doesn't make any sense

[mellow goblet]

You know plugin store right?

The plugin abit lesser

[stoic palm]

Finally now that made sense

[mellow goblet]

So I want to download from web

[stoic palm]

There are a few plugins that are exclusive to certain platforms

[mellow goblet]

Bruhh me know my english very broken

[stoic palm]

So do you play on Steam or BlueStacks?

[mellow goblet]

Both

[stoic palm]

Okay well I can't help you with blush stacks so good luck

[stoic palm]

But this shows the steam file location

Which is not in the usual place

[mellow goblet]

Yeah

[stoic palm]

I'd suggest looking through DualHDs plugin list

[mellow goblet]

Any links?

[stoic palm]

Links to what?

[mellow goblet]

Yes

[stoic palm]

?

[mellow goblet]

That web

[stoic palm]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewforum.php?f=43

This one?

[mellow goblet]

Thanks

New texture

[lunar snow]

nice

[static sandal]

Maybe add, hmmm

Nah, that’s fine.

[echo prairie]

Bro is in another level

If we are able to add animations in four textures Spawners that could be a game changer

Currently we aren't able to do that with ships or helicopters

[surreal oasis]

Not every plugin is available on theotown premium (steam), especially mine, some plugin creators just don't afford, or don't want to make their plugins actually available for the actual PC release of theotown itself

[echo prairie]

Like flares to military helicopter (imo and my use) reactor engine to aircraft and water trail in ships

There's a water puddle road deco plugin?

After a rain water puddle in random roads could be good

[surreal oasis]

P²

[uncut acorn]

What’s that

[rain gate]

reminds me of a parking tower somethng

it's a common sight in ea

[static sandal]

Ujum

[urban grove]

Something related to Parking?

[patent swift]

P - parking?

[static sandal]

Yes, it’s a parking tower

[patent swift]

Nice

[static sandal]

Other variation

[dreamy hearth]

Pokebuilding

[hearty garden]

If it was a R it would look like a building of the Team Rocket

[paper river]

Building

[red lintel]

Ooo! Fits the style of the game so well, Lovely!

[rugged bay]

Lol this game is too addicting haha

Dammit my screenshots are taking a bit long to upload

I'm gonna cover a whole map with helicopter tiles later today. I have to sleep lol

[dusty hill]

i think i should change smth in this

[urban grove]

Uh wrong channel? Also that traffic...

[urban grove]

Nice buildings. Is it German?

[patent swift]

[haughty moth]

[empty sigil]

Hey guys, by any chance there is any square bush plugin? Like those in the image.

[crimson basin]

do you know how small a bush will be?

[empty sigil]

I'm talking about the big ones, like the ones SC4 has, but squarer. Btw, I know that they are categorized in Trees (because they are the big ones and not a hedge that are in fences). is just to ask if there is something of that style in addition to those

[empty sigil]

Ready, I found it! the name is Tree pack in case anyone ever needs it. 😅

[crimson basin]

looks kinda big

[lilac shuttle]

Sup bunny

[misty pawn]

Though they were bamboos

[empty sigil]

They have a smaller version of that tree/bush too, but in my case the intention is to be like a maze so it works well (I play a lot with the large map perspective so I'm interested in it being visible)

[misty pawn]

Wait they are indeed

[empty sigil]

The thing is that with the SC4 one I was not convinced at all

[misty pawn]

What about using mdk's

[rain gate]

try searching like cuba capitol or something, but in that plugin there's a bush deco exaclty like taht

[empty sigil]

I used both versions to see how it looked, and it's interesting, but it lacks a little texture, but it is exactly the style I was looking for, thanks! I don't think I'll use it in the maze, but for some other crazy thing it should work for sure.

[empty sigil]

If u could tell me which one, because he has a lot of plugins 😅

[slender briar]

bro why did i even make the cologne cathedral

i put 2 weeks of my life into it and i havent seen it used once

like i look trough city showcases and i dont see it any goddamn where

almost none of my plugins

what the hell happened

[stoic palm]

In all fairness most people who really showcase really good cities take alot of time even placing one building

I doubt it's about the quality of your work, but rather working it into their builds

I mean it has double to triple the likes of the plugins around it in the showcase

So people like it lmao

[uncut acorn]

Don’t worry someone will use it and feature in #city-showcase

Soon

[static sandal]

You should make a variant without a floor.

Maybe that will help

[rain gate]

he did

[slender briar]

Nah you knoq what

Enjoy.

[empty sigil]

Well, i was looking for your cathedral and there was only the one by TCPS Team

[stoic palm]

#plugin-showcase message

[stoic palm]

what?

Why would you search it like that?

Just use the plugin store directly

[empty sigil]

It doesn't matter, it should come out

[stoic palm]

That's just such a whacky way to go about it

I would assume based on Kekmans last remark he may have just taken it down?

[empty sigil]

Well, it's been like this for a while, because I was looking for it a week ago

[stoic palm]

Take it up with him

I don't do anything on the forums

Those things suck

[rain gate]

froums

froosm

[slender briar]

Hell yes, i put hearth and soul into it and i get told uhhh where nighr frame uhhh base ugly, and then uhhh where base???? When night frames

[stoic palm]

Do you want my honest opinion

[slender briar]

Ye

[stoic palm]

That is hella reactionary

Like 2024 Twitter user nonsense

[slender briar]

Evan im tired of making plugins for like 3 people

[stoic palm]

It should be about you Kek

[slender briar]

Its still the same community that prioritizes size over quality

[stoic palm]

Not what others want

Do you like what you make

If so that fucking rocks

[slender briar]

F me man i look at my pixel art for 30 mins and think cool and then next project

[stoic palm]

And I encourage you to share it so other people can enjoy it too

[slender briar]

I try but i dont get the feeling others enjoy it

I mean yea

A lot do

But i feel like only a minority does

And the rest just complains

[stoic palm]

You know as well as I do that the only people in life that say shit are the people that have an issue lmao

That applies to all things in life

I have never once met a vocal enjoyer

But vocal complainers all the time

[empty sigil]

The best thing to do is not to worry about what others say. If you know you're doing well, keep going 👍

[slender briar]

Thanks

[stoic palm]

I can't change what your going to do, but I do think it would be a shame to be another creator that removes their stuff because of 5 year olds

[empty sigil]

Imagine that I came back from years without having played, and the insanity of talent that there is compared to a few years ago is abysmal

[stoic palm]

Especially when I have seen the work that you've put into everything that you do

[slender briar]

Nah evan ill probs share it on forums only, cuz forums are smth else

[stoic palm]

That's better than nothing

And I think that's a good choice

[slender briar]

But ngl it does feel like sheet when on release i get told "one of the best plugins ever" and then 2 months later i look trough hundreds of cities and i cant see it in one goddamn city

My biggest pride and satisfaction is seeing my plugins in peoples cities

But ngl it feels like my stuff vanished

[stoic palm]

In all fairness, there are quite a few folks here, myself inculded, that really don't play the game much anymore

But we do love the work that's put in

[slender briar]

Same ngl

I just do the plugins

[stoic palm]

The only time I ever get on TT nowadays it to help people

[slender briar]

I get on to test plugins lol

Or look at comments

[stoic palm]

and bulk upvote plugins that I download to show my support

I mean look at the comment sections on my plugins, pretty much on every one I tell a guy to go kick rocks

[urban grove]

To be fair it's really big. I don't even know where to place it

[stoic palm]

And I think that comes back to this too

[slender briar]

Thats never a problem with skyscrapers or 30x30 airports aint it

Lets be honest the size of it aint it

[stoic palm]

But the people do spam skyscrapers are the same one that spam plugin comment sections lmao

So you gotta pick your demographic in that regard

[slender briar]

Cuz the palace of parlament is a huge thing too but it did get used for a while

[slender briar]

My demographic left one by one evan

Im one of the last

[stoic palm]

Damn

I feel that

[slender briar]

And it aint nice

I miss rock

[urban grove]

I originally planned it to be placed in one of the Old Town area but i realized. Yea this ain't gonna work so i will probably place it somewhere South of the city

[slender briar]

Back then i knew they were there going trough the same things and we had this understanding for eachother, me , monte, rock, jolly, etc etc

Now its kinda just me

[stoic palm]

For what it's worth... I've watched at least two generations of the community come and go, but there are always no rising starts per se

I have never been a talated plugin maker, I won't claim to be

What I have made was for my own use, but I did release it

So while I don't exactly see that same nuance as you do, I see a much generic version of it day after day

It doesn't get eaiser

I hate seeing folks leave

I do know how you feel

But I do take solace in the fact that they may eventually pop back up one day

[slender briar]

I hope so ngl

[stoic palm]

And if that does happen then I want to have something to show for their time away

[slender briar]

I wonder what rock would say about my stuff rn

[urban grove]

Damn that's not good right? Almost all the OG left the community

[slender briar]

I used to aspire to get better than rock, but this aint how i thought it would end

[slender briar]

Sadly

[stoic palm]

I'm not going to act like I have the answers, but I am going to suggest that for your sake, for mine, for our pasts sake that you don't let your works go the way of the dino

It has always been my privilege to watch you grow as an artist and I implore you to share that however you see fit

[slender briar]

Nah again ill just make it forum exclusive

Thanks evan

Btw ill try to revive the citadel and share plugins there too

[stoic palm]

I did notice the pfp change there

looks good

Speaking of plugins, maybe make the spawners transparent.

[urban grove]

Yes please

[static sandal]

okay

Maybe tomorrow release the update

[empty sigil]

Sorry for the annoyance, any idea of which plugins are these? The pier with the small boats and the rock bridge decoration.

[lapis moat]

They're either private or forum plugins

[rain gate]

first is aos second is cobble road plugin in store

[rugged bay]

I think I made a very op plug in. I was able to hit 64 rank within minutes. With 5mil+ habitants.... but anyways are there standalone resident buildings? It's weird having random cars spawn in specific private properties I'm trying to make.

[lapis moat]

Ouh

[rain gate]

i dont know the exact name of the cobble road but just look up "cobble" and you'll find it

[rugged bay]

Tryna make a rich area section lol can't figure out how to stop those random cars in their driveway.

[rain gate]

couldve sworn it was on the store but couldnt find it but heres forum link https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?p=209424&hilit=cobblestone#p209424

what do you mean "tramroads"

there is no such thing as trams in theotown

[rain gate]

Wait let me recheck

I remember its for S Bahn if im not wrong

Unfortunately, there are almost no plugins for the eastern architecture (

I figured 🫤

But do u know anything that looks like it?

Wow jeffrial is making European style buildings now?

Isn't tim hortons' color scheme red n black?

[uncut acorn]

Actually I'm focusing this one

Yeah like someone suggested this so I'mma do it

[dreamy hearth]

Ahh, only thing I can suggest is to make the orange a bit more red or at least closer to red

All to avoid confusion with dunkin

[burnt bramble]

imagine a road decoration version

+6 different heights

and yes, I'm using the same frames that I used for the decals(basically lots of plugin space saved)

I am planning to update my plugin bi-weekly now, hopefully I don't end up procrastinating more😭😭🙏

[knotty shoal]

Which side looks better?

[amber torrent]

Man

[burnt bramble]

finally done with the diagonal parts (:

[amber torrent]

I'm an artist, I know how to draw a lot of things in pixel art, I don't draw much but I want to work on plugins

[red lintel]

This looks even nicer than my diagonal decal plugin, i love the effort you put into each decal!

[burnt bramble]

thank you very much

[burnt bramble]

you can look at the documentation on the theotown forums

[red lintel]

The pins and forum can help you begin your plugin making, it just takes the matter of understanding shading and size analyzation

[burnt bramble]

^

[amber torrent]

First time I entered the forum I created my account I still see it

[amber torrent]

I This I know very well

Shadows and size

[burnt bramble]

I don't personally use it, but you can use it for the json

[sacred mauve]

Hello guys, what do you think of the tower on the right? I feel strange

[amber torrent]

I think the shadow is on the wrong side

I don't know... it seems like the color is plain

[red lintel]

lacks a bit of shadow contrast

also depth

But its looks fine for the most part

[lunar snow]

lôks fine

just need to add shadows

@rain gate Seeing this:

Awesome!, this will work for my train station en

[lunar snow]

Yeah it would work as a train station

[clear anvil]

🤔

[lunar snow]

we now have 3 versions of the wtc

[gaunt quartz]

We clearly need more

[lunar snow]

nope

[dreamy hearth]

Looks like an optical illusion, idk whether to like it or hate it

[clear anvil]

but there is no any version contained all the buildings so they look inconsistent

[dreamy hearth]

Watch there be 100 versions

[lunar snow]

sure you can make all of them

im not here to judge

[dreamy hearth]

I know this is gonna be quite a stretch but do you have plans on making Hudson Yards?

[clear anvil]

I would rather make Times Square first🤔

[rain gate]

Holy, thats INCREDIBLE!

I lime how i learn new techniques by just looking

Bout to make Merdeka 118 with this one 🔥🔥🔥

[urban grove]

Wow did you make this? Looks awesome

[clear anvil]

2wtc was created

[urban grove]

Will you make the church?

[rain gate]

what do yall think?

[lunar snow]

good

[rain gate]

:)

[uncut acorn]

Is this your creation?

[clear anvil]

the structure

[orchid scroll]

more wtc

[rain gate]

[surreal oasis]

This cannot be the entire plugin, right?

Examples tho

Its version one btw, i'm only testing what can i possibly do with it

[rain gate]

it looks like a fence youd see in mbmp in the 2nd pic

[dreamy hearth]

I'm surprised at how fast you can work

[urban grove]

Add roof decos (as a variant)

[dreamy hearth]

The roof blends so well w d concrete

[burnt bramble]

👀

just a little thing you can do 🙂

[lunar snow]

epic

we can make better slope with this

i hope

[burnt bramble]

guess I gotta update my road plugin as well for the slopes 🫠🫠

[amber torrent]

I'm going to use it a lot when I'm done, I need plugins that are very detailed and a little more realistic.

[warm patrol]

It's beautiful

[little shoal]

It look very similar to the one vönark made

[burnt bramble]

yoo that looks so good

[rugged bay]

I didn't know we could do 10x10 structures lol what's the actual limit? I wanna do a 20x20 but I don't wanna go at it if there's an actual limit haha

I thought max was 8x8

[rain gate]

I believe it's 16x16

[cyan minnow]

I saw an industrial plugin, the template is approximately.10x10.

[rain gate]

looks sick for my brutalist one tile city

[rain gate]

name?

[rain gate]

plug in name?

[crimson basin]

if someone wwas absutely insame i bet they can use compostions and make one thats much begiier but that would be just wild

[rugged bay]

I edit the football field parking area lol but I still need to fix that connecting road.

Crap wrong channel again sorry!

[dapper sun]

Plugin name🤓☝️

[red lintel]

wot ploogin plzz

[rugged bay]

I just made it for fun. It's personal plugin lol

Damn screenshot taking a while to upload but I made a 10x10 test structure haha

I will try 20x20

[dapper sun]

Lol xD

[dapper sun]

Plugin name?😾

[rugged bay]

The biggest city hall haha 16x16 is max but it gets super baggy. Screenshot taking a hit to upload.

[empty sigil]

That is a strange shape of town hall

[valid finch]

This is propably inspired by Los Angles Town Hall

[rugged bay]

The ultimate resident building LOL damn screenshot taking a bit

I grabbed the tallest rich res tower and combined them all. There's more than 10 of them combined haha

[surreal oasis]

thats planned too

[surreal oasis]

I'm still working on it

[rain gate]

ohhh ight ight, please tell me when you are finished, it looks sick

[dreamy hearth]

no I mean is it raised?

[burnt bramble]

yes

[dreamy hearth]

ahhh okay thanks for the clarification man

[burnt bramble]

No problem

[rugged bay]

Made this huge 16x16 empty parking lot 🙂 still need to add things in it.

I'm gonna have to make a forums account and start uploading things lol

[empty sigil]

The forum account is the same as the game account

[burnt bramble]

e g g

[burnt bramble]

just a quick overview of what is possible with this plugin.

Level 2 Decals ✅
Diagonal, Half, and Non-Isometric decals✅
3 different heights✅
Road Decoration✅ 6 different heights
Diagonal✅
Half✅
Non-Isometric(just need to do 8 more variants)

[lapis moat]

Not big enough

[burnt bramble]

What will be added:
Decal stuff as props
Stairs
Half Walls
Diagonal Walls
Non-Isometric Walls
Slopes
Wall Slopes
Sidewalks(1 px, 2px and 4px wide)
Rounded edges
Road Decoration/prop version of all of the stuff above
Pillars
Custom Bridges
Retaining Walls

[rugged bay]

Where could I upload base tile files? I made up to 16x16 or did someone already got them up?

[burnt bramble]

Once I'm done with all that, it will be relatively easier to do way more decals

[lapis moat]

That's a lot of towers
#plugin-suggestions message

[crimson basin]

well most players wouldnt make a 16x16

in fact, most players wouldnt make anything bigger than an 8

and a 16 is as simple as 4 8x8 templates together

[rugged bay]

So many ideas for 16x16! I'm trying to come up with a huge park or marina section all in one type of thing.

[crimson basin]

i thought 16x16 was priviledged creators - though i could be wrong

but generally, 16x16 are not very practical

it uses a lot of texture space and also wastes a lot of texture space

its usually better to make smaller ones, kinda like "modular"

[rugged bay]

working on a 16x16 racetrack lol

[rugged bay]

took the stadiums benches haha

[sacred mauve]

Look better?

[lunar snow]

Cool

[red lintel]

Looks nicer with the longer windows, veri nice!

[strange cloud]

There's a modular racetrack plugin in the forum (and F1 cars)

[urban grove]

Did you make that Sphinx?

[empty sigil]

Yep

Perhaps it is just copying from the 1000 and 1 existing models, it is not so complicated either...

[red lintel]

That looks awesome!

Adding night scenes to the Twin Towers, although they look very low-quality

[lunar snow]

To be frank, its shape is a bit difficult to describe😟

[lunar snow]

you should fix the color

[surreal oasis]

that shape scares me

[dusty hill]

Wait, is this the MDK's twin towers plugin?

[empty sigil]

I still have some details to be worked out, but I think the color is ready

How to make a building that not ours into a specified zone?

This is its true appearance. I have tried my best to imitate its brightly lit appearance, but obviously my skills are not enough to fully express it

[potent dirge]

Towers

[rain gate]

Ooooo i see it now

Ill check to make it then

[rain gate]

Btw how to this?

Any plugins i can "steal with permission"?

[gaunt quartz]

No

[rain gate]

There's plenty you can without permission 😉

[gaunt quartz]

[rain gate]

Well now after seeing KeinName Reichstag frame, i think i might reconstruct the Reichstag

oh, thats cute

72-meter flagpole in the city of Dnipro
This is not my first attempt to make a normal flagpole, the previous ones were unsuccessful
Perhaps I will make a pack where there will be flags of many countries, not only ukrainian

[lavish sail]

how about custom animation?

[warm patrol]

So far, it is a big question mark
This is my first time doing this

[lavish sail]

can you send it in a comparison with some other building

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=7455 custom animations help

[warm patrol]

Which one is the best?

[lavish sail]

some of that guys

[warm patrol]

Thanks, I'll take a look, maybe I can do something

[rain gate]

oh mb 💀

https://tenor.com/view/goliembiewski-robert_tilburg-gif-21414177

i think i'll release it as an one-building plugin

[gray apex]

I can talk more with you in private?

i still making my artscience museum with rotation, i dont have make decal plugin, but i can try help you

I need first resolve my problem with new update of android (i cant acess the data files )

[empty sigil]

Maybe in the not so near future I will release a 4x6 version instead of 6x6, because it annoys me a little that it has two empty tiles on the sides 😅 but for now it will stay that way

Btw, it looks brighter than normal there, but I did fix the bright details a little more.

[humble iron]

Cool

[static sail]

Goddamn this looks great

[urban grove]

This looks really good

[lunar snow]

that's one big flag

we need more big flag poles

also do yours include animation

[lavish sail]

I don't like that the standard sand looks much brighter than the buildings you made. Can anything be done about this?

[empty sigil]

But I already fixed the brightness of the sphinx, did you see the image below? Or do you say even more?

[lavish sail]

I mean, so to speak, yellowness. Like, the Sphinx is clearly yellow, but the sand is more like a beige shade

[amber torrent]

Finally sphinx

One thing I really wanted to be done is the Greek Parthenon

I don't know if it's on the forum

I don't think so

[lavish sail]

I'll check

[amber torrent]

I'm doing a coliacd project30 countries on 1 island with several famous landmarks

[lavish sail]

I didn’t find it, it looks like it really doesn’t exist

[amber torrent]

So I think we have to do this monument

Monument*

[lavish sail]

Even More Priority than a Cancer Cure?

[amber torrent]

This is a joke?

[lunar snow]

no

[amber torrent]

🫏

[lavish sail]

Sure

There are so many experienced plugin makers here who are ready to take on this burden.

[empty sigil]

But do you mean if I can "improve" the sand, or if I can adjust the sphinx to be more "sandy"?

In any case the sand is vanilla, and the sphinx is transparent so you can use decals without problem.

[amber torrent]

Okay, I'm going to make a plugin

🔥

[lavish sail]

You are sure? You're already burning

[amber torrent]

I didn't understand a lot

[lavish sail]

I mean to make the yellow color in it paler

[empty sigil]

There is the courthouse, which is not exactly the same, but it is similar 😅

[amber torrent]

I did the same as the Parthenon in court, it was really similar

Talking serious
I am one of the Brazilians who intend to bring Brazilian architecture plugins of Portuguese origin

[lavish sail]

Should i add some trees?

[amber torrent]

You choose

[lavish sail]

I want to make this building an independent church, but it looks empty

[amber torrent]

Do you know which church I'm going to?

[empty sigil]

You mean like it was before? You told me it was very white 😢 #plugin-discussion message

Likewise, I imagine you are referring to reaching a midpoint between both colors, the thing is that in the current color palette it compensates a lot for those of us who use shaders, but if I make another version I will surely look at it again

[lavish sail]

I meant Sand, Not your texture

Thats looks cuter

[empty sigil]

Then I don't understand what you mean, since the sand has nothing to do with the plugin. 😅

[empty sigil]

Nice, if you can try the Alder tree for the one on the right, is a smaller tree.

[warm patrol]

I make small trees

[hardy anvil]

Nice trees

[rugged bay]

Are there diagonal fences? Tryna place them at this spot.

I made that intersection by accident and it looks pretty cool. Haven't see how it goes with a lot of traffic yet though.

[lunar snow]

cool

[lavish sail]

Maybe do it darker?

[tidal glen]

Nice church

Perfect for a small village

Or a mountain monastery

[dusty hill]

yep, make it darker

[lunar snow]

looks like a children playground

[urban grove]

Is this a church or something?

[lavish sail]

Because of the fence?)

Should i do it brown?

complex of state institutions of Latvia in Riga, the main ones there are the Cabinet of Ministers, the Court of the Republic of Latvia, the Ministry of Justice and the District Court of Riga

[rain gate]

Ohhh i see

(i realised i watch an Latvian movie some way back, i felt like im latvian for a second there)

[patent swift]

what kind of movie was it? Maria's silence?

[rain gate]

I forgot, but a Latvian during ww1 i remember

At last he teach a bunch of kid latvians to shoot right (he got shot from what i remember)

Building i chop in ahlf

*half

[patent swift]

wow, good, very good

[rain gate]

Im gonna make it more chopped

Because how small it is, i could chip away more areas

First destroyed finished

[rain gate]

Another one that isnt destroyed badly

[lavish sail]

How can I change the color?

[rain gate]

Depends on what youre using

[lavish sail]

Sorry

Bad translation by me

How i should change color?

[lavish sail]

.

[rain gate]

Same answer, what app youre using

[lavish sail]

Pixel studio

But for what this question?

[lavish sail]

How can I set the coordinates for the night animation of my building? Can't catch them

[orchid sorrel]

using maths

[lavish sail]

?

[orchid sorrel]

point (0, 0) is the leftmost pixel of your building's ground tile

[lavish sail]

Formula?

[orchid sorrel]

the y axis is inverted

and the point you're trying to position is the top left pixel of your animation's frame by default

[lavish sail]

Ground tile is a most down pixel of sprite?

[orchid sorrel]

ground tile is the isometric ground base of your building

aka the templates from the pins

[lavish sail]

Oh

I'll try it now

[lavish sail]

Dont working(

Either I'm stupid or I don't understand

Give me a sec

As I understand it, I must move the animation sprite from the bottom point from which the straight lines begin to the orange point marked with an arrow

Right?

And I should bring the left-top pixel animation

Kulche?

[crimson basin]

the animation top left corner is in the point of origin

so you use negative coords to move it up

[empty sigil]

Hi guys, one question, if I do the Lincoln Memorial, should I do it with the base, or just the structure? (Base = Red, Structure = Blue).

[crimson basin]

hi arturo, congrats on your first store plugin

[empty sigil]

Thx mate

[crimson basin]

i think you should do the base as well

since thats technically part of the memorial

hey i have a question

why is the min version 1.11.30

is there a reason for it? @empty sigil

[empty sigil]

I'm asking because with some terraforming and plugins those stairs/base can be make and it would be more "integrated" to the design of the city, than if everything is already done.

[crimson basin]

at the end of the day, its your decision

[empty sigil]

No, just that I am a programmer and the habit of putting the latest "big update" of the software to avoid inconveniences.

[crimson basin]

oh, you should make an update and remove it

because people on lower versions will not be able to see it

there should be no issues with having no min version

[empty sigil]

Well they should update 😜

[crimson basin]

min version is typically used when new features are added if said new feature was used

[crimson basin]

i think you should remove it

[empty sigil]

Just to ask, what would be the reason for having the game in a non-updated version?

[crimson basin]

no idea, but some people do. Plus, since TheTown runs on low end devices, sometimes updates can make the game not work

Look, its as quick as you changing it. I can approve the update as soon as you do that

[empty sigil]

Well first time I read that, I have played Theotown since 2020 and it is literally the best optimized game in performance (without plugins). 😅 But no problem, I will do it now, I will change the thumbnail too for a lower quality one, I was surprised when I saw that it increased 200 kb just for that.

[crimson basin]

lol

I know some (one) peeps like to use older versions to test some stuff

mostly lua stuff i think, no idea

[empty sigil]

Done

[crimson basin]

and there you go

sorry i forgot to check the min version before approving the first time

[empty sigil]

I'll keep it in mind for next time too, thanks, I also cared more about the file weight, from +200 KB to 56.9 KB only because of the thumbnail 😅👍

[crimson basin]

not sure if file weight does anything, but dont take my word for that

[empty sigil]

For those who have +1000 plugins it will surely benefit them 😅

[crimson basin]

oh wait i think it helps the game take up less space

theres literally people with 10+ GB and sometimes i really wonder how

[empty sigil]

Plugin addiction 🤣

[rain gate]

ive been download 35 plugins a day for 20 years and im still not addicted quit your nonsense!

[echo prairie]

3D textures soon

He have all TT dimensions

[lavish sail]

theotown 3d mod

[lavish sail]

Do I need to measure to my sprite, or to the base like in the photo?

[crimson basin]

?

[lavish sail]

i mean point origin

[crimson basin]

place a baseplate under the texture

[lavish sail]

so

[crimson basin]

start counting like in the image

[lavish sail]

just ~ "move y": -48?

if my animation texture same size with sprite

[crimson basin]

move y?

use x and y

[lavish sail]

ok

[crimson basin]

so find the point of origin and count how many pixels to the window

[lavish sail]

just WHY

wth wrong with it

(there should be light in the windows, not that thing on the left)

[lavish sail]

YESS

🥳🥳🥳🥳

but they look huge

Idk, maybe it big, and bright. So, i have 4% on my phone, ill do it tomorrow

At least the plugin is already at the finish line

[crimson basin]

can you dm me the actual png

i can make you a night animation

[silver hollow]

How to add animation in our plugin?

[rain gate]

someone already answered you didnt they

[crimson basin]

yes, #plugin-support message

[silver hollow]

I mean like this

[crimson basin]

you make an animation with multiple pngs

[silver hollow]

Can you provide a code example?

[silver hollow]

Thanks

[empty sigil]

At least I finished the shape, in a couple of days I'll start with the details/texture and another Landmark will be added to the list.

[humble iron]

Looks blurry

[empty sigil]

Yep, because its only the "base" shape

[lunar snow]

Lools like the ho chi minh mausoleum lol

[empty sigil]

I will add it to the list then 🤣 I am doing the Lincoln Memorial because I want to make a greek temple, and as all of them have the same structure, I started with one that is "simple" and then move on to the destroyed/abandoned ones, because with the structure done is just playing with the pillars and shadows.

The good thing about doing the "drawing process" with layers shapes in Photoshop is that I simply remove the folder of the internal walls and the pillars, and I can now do anything similar, change the color or whatever.

[urban grove]

Is that the Lincoln Memorial?

[empty sigil]

At a low initial level of design, but yes 😅

[lunar snow]

Well there is already a hcm maosoleum so

No need

[urban vector]

What if someone made the CDC

[rain gate]

oh, then idk how

because i only change colours with pixly

[lavish sail]

Bro

Plugin already published

[rain gate]

dw

its too late to change anything anyway

[sharp kettle]

wanted to make something like that, but because off lack of pictures i gave up

[spare hearth]

Are some plugins just isnt available on different theotown versions? pc and android in comparison

Because i was looking for more advance mods for road design and fences but i couldn't find any

[rain gate]

i think yes

because changes

[crimson basin]

Some yes, but most arent exclusive to pc or android

[rain gate]

ye

[crimson basin]

Advanced road or erins road

[spare hearth]

Are there more for fences?

[crimson basin]

Those are the two most advanced road plugins rn

[crimson basin]

I think you can find them by searxhing "fence" on the store or or forum

[spare hearth]

Thanks for the info

I'll showcase some designs when i get it

[echo prairie]

There's a attribute able to stop riots with cars?

[surreal oasis]

Yeah someone has to program a bulldozer that can stop riots

[echo prairie]

Hahaha 😂😂

[uncut acorn]

Chipper left again after showing his progress?

[surreal oasis]

was hoping for these kind of buildings for my desert city

hopefully it gets a custom zone

[lavish sail]

The best option would be to make the residential area deserted on the sand. (I can try to do this, if you need it, put an emotion under the message)

[surreal oasis]

i rely on auto build

[lavish sail]

Well, look, you can make it so that you build a residential zone, and if it is on the sand, it will automatically be replaced by a desert zone, in which everything will be the same, only with desert buildings

[lavish sail]

What do you think

[surreal oasis]

well if you can then go for it

i aint forcing anyone

[lavish sail]

Ill try it

[humble iron]

I think so

looks really pretty!

[lavish sail]

Guys, is it possible to do day animations? (Like night animation, but works only on day)

[lunar snow]

those buildings probably wont make it into the plugin store (if they are not high)

you should improve it

by adding shadows and ambient occlusion

[dusty hill]

#plugin-suggestions message @static sail
i know those
they are in Ustroń

[red lintel]

Marvelous!

[lunar snow]

do you plan on releasing them into the plugin store

Nice will you do other European churches? (Smaller ones)

[magic pike]

Of course)

[clear anvil]

As everyone knows, if the image size of a frame exceeds its width/height, the excess part will be cropped off, so how can I prevent this cropping?

[livid agate]

increase the building tile size

[red lintel]

if that does not work, make the frames smaller or split it into 2 different frames

[magic pike]

a few buildings from the future package of the cities of Warsaw and Vilnius

[red lintel]

Beautiful!!!!❤️
