@naive juniper is this 3×3 ?!

[naive juniper]

Yes

[proven yoke]

Office, concept by AI

[orchid scroll]

Half life vibes

[indigo inlet]

Man i would love more cyberpunk buildings

[dusty hill]

@burnt bramble hope your plugin won't have this problem as on image

[crimson basin]

looks like an arrow without the head

[dusty hill]

erionit made that

[empty sigil]

You are simply placing it incorrectly, in any case that plugin is quite poorly optimized, but it works, that cannot be taken away.

[kindred plank]

Any problem in this cottage?

[crimson basin]

put a shadow behind the building :)

[rain gate]

Wait the AI makes it?

[proven yoke]

No

That my hand draw

[kindred plank]

Ok zhankyou very much

[proven yoke]

But i use AI to made concept

[kindred plank]

Ai isn't that advanced yet

[rain gate]

I almost got replaced 😅

[proven yoke]

Yeah

[urban grove]

Woah that looks amazing! Love it

[proven yoke]

Thanks bro

[urban grove]

Is it 3×3?

[proven yoke]

4×4

I mean 4×4

[urban grove]

Oh ok i was confused because like wait that's 5×5? Nah there's no way

[dusty hill]

hope this is much better (New)

than this (old)

[orchid sorrel]

a bit

[dusty hill]

aw dang it

it is going to be real challenge to make it good

I Think the new one is much better than the previous

[crimson basin]

those roof angles

the buildings on the sides arent even symmetrical

[dusty hill]

AW GOD

Does that building has symetry?

[orchid sorrel]

...no?

[dusty hill]

so

Not every building has symetry

[orchid sorrel]

ok???

I mean I have no idea what bunny is talking about, it looks pretty symmetrical to me

at least eyeballing it lol

[burnt bramble]

Oh it's just like 2 pixels lmao

[orchid sorrel]

I mean the chimney things aren't but that isn't very relevant

[crimson basin]

the lines on the roof

[orchid sorrel]

looks identical to me

[orchid sorrel]

that's the old version??

[dusty hill]

yes

[crimson basin]

oh

[dusty hill]

Did you read the text above

[crimson basin]

sorry, cant read

[dusty hill]

it writes "Than this"

[crimson basin]

but yes the new one looks better

[orchid sorrel]

nice broken english

anyway

work on your texturing now

[dusty hill]

i'll texture after doing rest 3 sides

[orchid sorrel]

that's a weird approach

you're only doing rotations after your building is half done?

[dusty hill]

well, idk

[dusty hill]

anyways improved that thing

[orchid sorrel]

what changed

other than slighly desaturating the blue thing

[dusty hill]

ye

[empty sigil]

What a pity that the type "ship" are so abandoned, I wish Lobby could update them to work like the type car (animations, 8 count per variant, etc), or at least include them in the Lua car module.

[weak kestrel]

This one looks better add shadows 😀

@burnt bramble new idea but from Germany

[weak kestrel]

Just a question, where's the entrence for employees ?

[proven yoke]

The door is under the grey roof

[weak kestrel]

Not visible ?!

[proven yoke]

Yeah, because the texture of glass make it invisible

Now look better

[rain gate]

Can somebody reply with a handful of plugins I should use. Like which ones are the most QOL without changing stuff too much

[empty sigil]

My recommendation would be that you download and try what catches most of your attention, you can check by category, or search based on what you need.

But u also have a list of plugins made by Dual that is quite complete #town-square message

[static sandal]

Yay, unbanned

[hollow thistle]

Hello. Do anybody know a plugin with invisible pavement? I checked a few plugins by keyword "invisible" but neither of them have a pavement. Only roads meant for cars.

[empty sigil]

Pedestrian Zone Remastered by Kingtut10101

[main compass]

Done!

[crimson basin]

@orchid sorrel 🥺

[orchid sorrel]

when will people learn that theotown icons don't use so many colors

[crimson basin]

it looks pwetty 🥺

honestly

the blue was blending with the brown too much

so i added the foam

but then everything else looked to plain

so i added some shading

[naive juniper]

It was bigger than I thought, so I'm trying to make it a little smaller so it's 140 pixels tall.

[crimson basin]

looks nice, but that is very oversized

1 pixel = 0.6 m

or 3 pixels is about human size tall

[naive juniper]

Sé Cathedral is huge in real life😓

16 meters wide each tower

[hollow thistle]

Thanks. Not sure what i do wrong, but pedestrians completely ignore the zones. And if i directly connect them to the roads, the roads will get additional unwanted road markings

[empty sigil]

I don't know what you're doing exactly, but it works normally.

[main compass]

Working on the next one

[signal lagoon]

||can i finish this? no there are only empty files. ||

[empty sigil]

You can, go for it! 😅

[echo moon]

Thanks for go to 100k downoads, coincided with the day when i became a mod guard on July 2. I didn't expect it

[crimson basin]

congrats on 100k downloads

[hollow thistle]

Maybe i shouldn't connect pedestrian zones to the roads but to the buildings..

[empty sigil]

Exactly 👍

[crimson basin]

lets go (neeed to use ordinal to order them but it works)

Category would be more useful (than the previous option)

i think thats it for the update

[empty sigil]

It looks pretty good, in the end what icon did you make?

[twin river]

any plugins that add Sim City 4 music? I can't find any in the plugin store

[eager oriole]

It looks nice

[empty sigil]

Well, assuming that a large part of those soundtracks are copyrighted, I doubt that you will see any of them in the plugin store, but you can replace the files on your own, remember to disable download static files in Settings before trying.

[twin river]

ok thx

[orchid scroll]

Is this the one In Sao Paulo?

If it is then the size is alright

[naive juniper]

Yes

[naive juniper]

I think it's too big, but I'll try it

[crimson basin]

i kept the one i showed above

[main compass]

Thanks 👍🏻

[eager oriole]

Now i know how to make a pack. Really easy

[weak kestrel]

@echo moon pls can you make big modern gates 🙏

[winter aurora]

U would do it with a smaller scale (6 tiles for 100m = 1 tile for 16m). I use this scale in my cities

[echo moon]

Thank you sis, i have a lot to thank you for, i remember the first time you gave me a gift on dm

[echo moon]

Yes sure, im still working on other first, making gates for the residential houses

[weak kestrel]

@echo moon yes that idea is insane that will too useful for me cuz my rich negibouhrhood just wants residential gates ✨🙏🏻

[red lintel]

Congrats on 100k!

👏

[uncut acorn]

Congrats 👏

You deserve this fair & square with your best deco plugins

[rain gate]

Congrats!

[rich birch]

Congratulation 😄

[frigid tusk]

how do i put multiple bridge levels in my json?

[empty sigil]

Multiple bridge levels? "min level" and "max level"? Or wdym exactly

[frigid tusk]

want it at 2 or 3

[orchid sorrel]

that's... logically impossible?

you can't have a "minimum bridge level"

unless you mean up to 3, not just 2 and 3

then you'd just use "max level"

[frigid tusk]

ok tanks

[hollow birch]

This plugin is almost done, my next job is to add shadow and light to this plugin at night 🌌

[dusty hill]

wait

ok, final version (and ofc i need to make it 2 parted since it's 4x2)

[trim blade]

Cute

[dusty hill]

forgor the signs

now it has them

[midnight obsidian]

uhm it doesnt look like you shaded the walls right

right walls should be much darker compared to the left ones

other than that it looks neat

[dusty hill]

ik

but im tired of this

[dusty hill]

anyway, we should have tutorial for making a stairs

ex: stairs in this building

[uncut acorn]

Better

[urban grove]

Tokyo Skytree?

[hollow birch]

Yes, it is the Tokyo SkyTree

[warm spruce]

tbh you should make that mall on the base

kinda hard to use without it

but nice

[sleek thistle]

Nice, just do it for night mode

[main compass]

Amazing plugin. I can see how much effort you have put it. But just one thing. The skytree actually has a triangular base. Not rectangular. Anyways still a really great plugin. I'll be looking forward to it's release

[slim venture]

this is my first time making a plugin, is this alright?

[ripe jasper]

okay selection on colors, just make a good texture and make it look neat

[main compass]

Progress

[uncut acorn]

You make good skyscrapers today

[main compass]

Thanks man 👍🏻

[crimson basin]

congrats @empty sigil, @slender briar and rockfort!

legendary list ngl

[sinful meadow]

Hello

This game is still alive ?

[humble iron]

Yep

[main compass]

Done!

[red lintel]

Lovely!

[main compass]

Thanks 👍🏻

Looks pretty nice, might download this

[main compass]

It'll be my pleasure if you do

[crimson basin]

i dont know whats up with the animations

theres as many white ones as the grey ones but where are they lmao

[main compass]

Cooking 🍳

[uncut acorn]

Dang another one

Keep up

[sleek thistle]

Hello, i've made my next project is UOB Tower and still WIP. But i haven't make shadows, contrast, and etc. Have any criticize and suggestion about my project?

[slim venture]

all i can say is, the building is perfect. All it needs is the shadows and the contrast like you mentioned. Keep up the great work

[frigid tusk]

I suggest to fix shadows, to remove those black line, to change the contrast and colors

[main compass]

Scraped the previous one. Now making this.

[frigid tusk]

And to add more windows so it fits with the original design

[slim venture]

my first plugin is done (I'm dead confused)

[main compass]

Progress

[empty sigil]

The perspective of the tower is not isometric, and it lacks shading, and a little texture, but it is a good start, a little more "care" and you have it. I wouldn't say it's finished, but keep going!

[sharp hare]

Are there any coral reef plugins?

[ripe jasper]

none at all sadly

[sharp hare]

ah ok thanks for awnsering

[ripe jasper]

yww

[sleek thistle]

Thank you for criticize me.. @marc and @frigid tusk I'll fix it until complete

[crimson basin]

its missing shadows

[slim venture]

i put shadows, but can't see it clearly. I'll try fixing it again soon

[rain gate]

your shadows need to be much darker in that case

[crimson basin]

my shadows need to be much much darker too

[urban grove]

This ain't too bad for a first plugin. I hope you'll remake it in the future once you get enough experience 😄

[crimson basin]

@orchid sorrel can templates not have animations?

hmm

[orchid sorrel]

why would that be the case

[crimson basin]

i dont know, cause my animation dissapeared when i made it a template

[orchid sorrel]

skill issue

[crimson basin]

this is overly complicated for no reason

[orchid sorrel]

"complicated"?

also, how do you expect me to help me without json

[crimson basin]

overly complicated cause im using animations for 25 floors and part of the building is coloured so it has colour variations

also im not sure if color is working

[orchid sorrel]

you're using an animation in a template

and then you use animation again in the main building definition

[slim venture]

thanks!

[crimson basin]

i was hoping the template would desplay as the preview tbh

[orchid sorrel]

that's not how it works

[crimson basin]

apparently not

any idea why color doesnt work?

[crimson basin]

i think the fact that everything has coordinates just messes it up even more lol

[dusty hill]

imo it doesn't look good

[orchid sorrel]

what do you mean "doesn't work"

[slim venture]

it's my first time designing so it's pretty reasonable

[orchid sorrel]

you can't use color for animations that don't have frames

[crimson basin]

no color for animations inside animations? 🥺

[orchid sorrel]

no

it'd seem

[somber haven]

Cool i need more skyscrapers

Blahajforlife try not obsessed with skyscrapers (impossible )

[crimson basin]

wtf thats so unfair

why cant the game let me make my code shorter

[uncut acorn]

Non isometricky

[uncut acorn]

Dang tall

[dusty hill]

ok...

i should fix the water tower i did

since it's bad

and that building, since they are so bad

then, how should i rework those

[empty sigil]

Why don't you really try to make buildings a little bigger? So you don't get so complicated with small buildings, and when you have more practice you go back to the small ones, I think it would be the best, since even in the one you were doing, I still see some flaws that you need to correct, which in large buildings would not matter, but in small ones the details are very noticeable.

[orchid sorrel]

or do something that isn't based on the most drab architecture you've ever seen

or something that isn't based on real life buildings at all

[dusty hill]

so i shouldn't make those kind of buildings

[kindred plank]

I am planning to make a pack about cobblestone homes

Should i add chimneys?

[dusty hill]

but, how i should make octagonal water towers like here

[empty sigil]

These types of pixel art are done with tricky shadows, not so much with the shape (which is simply a cylinder), that's why I tell you, they are details that someone with experience and patience could do, but if you are just starting out you complicate yourself unnecessarily.

There are many buildings in your style that are larger, and therefore easier to scale to a pixel art.

For example, the Ufficio Primo, which is more or less your post war style.

Pretty simple, but it has its trick on the roof, but it's easy to do and it's your style.

[main compass]

Yep

It is not isometric and a bit tricky XD

[ripe jasper]

alot of japan stuff recently

[prisma lantern]

Anybody know a diagonal fence plugin?

[empty sigil]

Road fences pack? I don't know if it's what you're looking for but if you put "Diagonal" in the plugin store you'll surely get everything

[orchid sorrel]

exactly

[prisma lantern]

Okok tyyyy

[crimson basin]

new and old

(old one uses a lot more texture space)

[empty sigil]

Great! The improvement is noticeable

[crimson basin]

yeah its kind of one of my older plugins

from 2022 dec

I only started making plugins around sep/oct of 2022

what is build height

asking cause max is apparently 120?

[weak kestrel]

@ripe jasper you should suggest japanese buildings to crsopon

[dusty hill]

how should i draw the octagonal building

[empty sigil]

"build height is used for construction time and construction height"

For example, the Coca-Cola plugin does not use it and makes the cranes rise to the same size as the template, If he had adjusted to the actual height of the building, it would look much better when building, it's not a big deal either, but they are small details.

[ripe jasper]

not now but i think if he'd make the Reiyukai Shakaden temple

it'll be nice

[main compass]

That's actually a good Idea. But for now I'm actually planning to make the JR east HQ that you suggested after my current plugin

[midnight obsidian]

looks like its still under construction

[red lintel]

Lovely improvement!!

[ripe jasper]

your helping alot for my tokyo build, i appreciate it alot

[crimson basin]

i was wondering if it was in pixels, but i guess that answers it, currently the build height is apparently 4 since it uses a lot of animations

[livid agate]

it's 8px per unit

[main compass]

It's my pleasure man. I've just started making plugins and im really happy to see i am helping people already with my plugin

Progress

[crimson basin]

need thoughts on the colour (personally, hate the orange)

the old orange looks brighter and nicer

[orchid sorrel]

then use the old orange?

which isn't exactly perfect but it's better than that 'baby toxic splash' brownish

[crimson basin]

ahhhhh 🤔
(i have no idea what the height of my building is, can i guess?)

[crimson basin]

i cant lol

[orchid sorrel]

why???

[crimson basin]

the old one doesnt use color

[orchid sorrel]

ok?

[midnight obsidian]

lacks contrast imo

[crimson basin]

the one im using rn is placed on a darker thing

[orchid sorrel]

then make it brighter?? literally what's the problem lol

use pure white for the left side and slightly darker for the right side

[gaunt quartz]

Maybe use the old colours as shadow of the corresponding colours

[crimson basin]

i tried

[crimson basin]

also cant cause of the detail work (i think)

[orchid sorrel]

what

[midnight obsidian]

thats not an excuse

it just lacks contrast

fix it

[orchid sorrel]

you're just making problems up

[crimson basin]

do you like the red and blue?

[crimson basin]

do you wanna know a not so fun fact? :)

[crimson basin]

tell me where to add it

[gaunt quartz]

Why am i doing this its 1 am atm.

[orchid sorrel]

go ahead

[midnight obsidian]

idk maybe make the left wall lighter and/or the right wall darker?

it's not rocket science

[crimson basin]

i colour picked the actual building colour from the picture (i know you hate that xD)

[orchid sorrel]

are you braindead

(time to bully until the plugin is fixed)

[crimson basin]

assuming you just mean the white part?

[midnight obsidian]

bunny just make the right side walls darker and that's it

not just the white part

just make the walls facing right darker

[crimson basin]

plugin space is optimised at least

[orchid sorrel]

that's some cursed slicing

[crimson basin]

youre making me open all 6 of them 😭

[crimson basin]

i think it saves more space!

[orchid sorrel]

yeah maybe

[crimson basin]

its also why the top part isnt windowing but whatever

[midnight obsidian]

that hurts to see

also "pixel"

wtf is that file

why

[crimson basin]

ill delete that

[orchid sorrel]

lol

[crimson basin]

its a 1x1

[orchid sorrel]

that's why you aren't allowed into ci development

[midnight obsidian]

but i think the cursed slicing actually saves a little bit more space than regular normal slicing

but is it worth it? no

[midnight obsidian]

reminds me of yusuf's magic stick

i think he used it to do something with trucks, no?

[crimson basin]

i thought i used null frame for the actual thing so i made a 1x1 so the baseplate isnt weird but apparently it uses the white base

[orchid sorrel]

why do I still have this omega old ci version

[crimson basin]

so ill just turn the animation frames to null

[crimson basin]

thats so adorable

[midnight obsidian]

oop i have an idea

[orchid sorrel]

no

[midnight obsidian]

make complex industry people

for a tutorial

[orchid sorrel]

ci waifu

[midnight obsidian]

yes

[crimson basin]

its easier for me to slice too 😭

[midnight obsidian]

okay but it's cursed af

[gaunt quartz]

Ci at in game plugin store?

[midnight obsidian]

no

[crimson basin]

not yet

[gaunt quartz]

Brain foggy

[midnight obsidian]

wait until 2035

[gaunt quartz]

N o o

[crimson basin]

apparently my building slicing is cursed

but imagine all the space it saves rtobby

a few hundred pixels

[empty sigil]

You just leaked the release date of TheoTown 2

[midnight obsidian]

complex industry is theotown 2 confirmed

[gaunt quartz]

Rip

[gaunt quartz]

Why did i mixed you up with erk

[midnight obsidian]

not my problem

[midnight obsidian]

replying to this

oh wait you cant swear here

[midnight obsidian]

no way!!! it saves 0,01% of plugin texture space

[gaunt quartz]

Ban this ma-

but my freedom of speech 😭

[gaunt quartz]

But you can say fuсk tho

....

[midnight obsidian]

i don't believe you

that's just you using your mod rights

[oblique tundra]

Perfect for schools

[main compass]

How is this looking so far?

[crimson basin]

do i want night animation? 🤔
the old night animation was so poorly optimised and i dont feel like individually animating windows

maybe ill downgrade from night animation to no night animation

i guess im stuck with these colours. although @midnight obsidian are you happy with the contrast now?

[midnight obsidian]

more contrast

[crimson basin]

no, you have no idea how much contrast that is

[midnight obsidian]

okay then it's lack of ambient occlusions which is screwing this up

it's still hard to differentiate where the left and right walls start

from afar

[crimson basin]

i get what you mean

wtf do i do with that orange one, that colour is horrid

[echo moon]

This may correspond to the height of a human pixel

I'll try to make another short version next, i need to slep right now

Hello everyone, I need your help, I am looking for plugins, especially those that are Asian, let me know that I already have all the ones from the store and some from the forum

[ripe jasper]

search in the plugin store & forums: Korea, Japan and in the store: China / Chinese

[crystal eagle]

It seems to be Japanese, it reminds me of modern Kyoto buildings, very beautiful

[crystal eagle]

Don't you have any idea for a traditional Chinese buildings plugin?

[ripe jasper]

the closest you have for a traditional Chinese buildings is the Korean pack

[uncut acorn]

Love it

1st one looks good

[kindred plank]

Do 1st

[weak kestrel]

1st

@dusty hill can u pls do three cube house from prague

[dusty hill]

not now

[winter aurora]

I think you would change the vivid colors to light colors.

[crimson basin]

The bottom ones are the old colours

[main compass]

Done!

[empty sigil]

I assume that is because it is an overlay and Take Picture is an internal function that does not take it into account that type when taking the screenshot, the V2 of the plugin solves those problems, but I have not finished it due to lack of time (And I have been testing other modules)

But this month V2 should be released don't worry

[dusty hill]

it seems the 1st one was choosen

[uncut acorn]

What if you can make a lot of them in a row and turn it into a pack?

[dusty hill]

i'll do that after i back to home, since i have no time today

[main compass]

I'm actually publishing them separately for now. After about 9-10 buildings I'll combine them in a pack.

[weak kestrel]

Okay man 👍🏻

cough, plugin suggestions go in #plugin-suggestions and its discouraged to ping creators and ask them to make specific buildings

[weak kestrel]

Ohh god

[weak kestrel]

There's no one see the suggestions 😕

[crimson basin]

they do

and you should use the correct channel for them

[weak kestrel]

Which

[crimson basin]

#plugin-suggestions

[weak kestrel]

I suggested many gorgeous buildings there

[crimson basin]

okay and?

if the creators dont make them, thats their choice, its just a suggestion

it doesnt mean they dont see it

plugin creators choose what they wanna make

[uncut acorn]

Ooh okay

Good luck

[uncut acorn]

Don’t ping him like that

You’re acting like you wanted to force him to do it

If you would like to suggest some buildings, please go to #plugin-suggestions

Alright

First of all

[night venture]

Best app to make smooth and realistic plugin

Not so pixed

Any suggestions?

Best app , top recommend

[main compass]

What do you mean by smooth?

[night venture]

Like realistic

Any app best app for plugin making

[main compass]

Well theotown plugins can't be smooth

And as for realistic

[echo moon]

I recommend app Pixly the interface is easy to remember and very simple, Im not pixel artist or whatever before but i understood right away, the disadvantages but you can't make night animations, and sorting large-scale plugin

And for what you're asking to be realistic, it's a handful from our hands.

[night venture]

It is unavailable in new android version

I can't find it and I want something new

[echo moon]

I only use pixly, dont know anything else sorry

[red lintel]

Same

[night venture]

@red lintel come my frind

[red lintel]

But i do use Pixel Studio to add in the final details

[night venture]

Where do you create such great plugins?

[main compass]

What happened to your pfp!?

[red lintel]

Pixly and Pixel Studio

[red lintel]

i lik this one
its so cute

That looks quite bad. Don't worry there are plenty of tutorials and guides. I suggest learning on how to make basic stuff first

[night venture]

This is good or bad ?

It's bad ik

yes it is

that's not even pixelart

[urban grove]

It's not even pixelated so yes it's bad.

As an idea yes, but you need to take lessons :DD
Like yk for yt tutorials!
Also dont post the same msg at multiple channels as its considered spam k?

[night venture]

See it is pixled

[weak kestrel]

What's that ?!

[gaunt quartz]

Needs a bit more work

You can watch a yt tutorial!

Take a gander at youtube and find a vid on how to make plugins!

[night venture]

Leave it I know it's very bad ..... I lost

[urban grove]

Better but needs more work. Remember you can always look up tutorials and guide in the pins or YT.

[night venture]

I lost

I can make it

Sorry for disturbing you guys

[urban grove]

Don't give up that easily

No it's almost 4 years

Am trying from 2021

Sorry my bad I lost

How about a simple small house?

[winter aurora]

@crimson basin 👌👌 very good

[winter aurora]

The building side needs a little darker color and a shadow downside

The front floor needs to be darker too, or gray

[kindred plank]

How old are you?

[crimson basin]

I think youve got the basics going, you just need to scale it down

[echo moon]

deco snowman

[kindred plank]

A big well, it doesnt feel right what should i do?

[kindred plank]

More contrast is needed

For le bush

[crimson basin]

make the down darker, almost black (or black if youre daaring enough)

[kindred plank]

Hot spring?

[kindred plank]

Noted

[crimson basin]

ice rink

[kindred plank]

Oh nice

[crimson basin]

kek uses black, if you use it right, its not that noticeable but it creates amazing depth

A pond?

[thin wraith]

it an ice rink

[woven blade]

Rate my first plugin. I've done plugins before, but drew poorly

[crimson basin]

close, an ice rink

but they are technically frozen ponds anyway (i think)

[woven blade]

Soon I will draw bus stops and other decor

[main compass]

A fence?

[woven blade]

Yes, fence

[main compass]

What kind of fence exactly?

[woven blade]

Noise barrier along the highways. Took the idea from the fences near Moscow. Now I am in Moscow, but live in another Russian city

the night animation looks so bright

[crimson basin]

its supposed to blind you 🙂

might make a less bright version tmmr, i think its just the glow making it look so bright

or i could

much better

can mess with the alpha value on the night animation now so i dont have to edit the png each time

petition to make the snowman props have their eyes glow red at night :)

[empty sigil]

It looks good, I thought you would make the light with the poles that are around.

Will you only do that version, or will you get creative with people animation? I think I have the base code of my pedestrian plugin over there, in case you want to try it.

[deft canyon]

My first plugin is almost complete. The tricky part will be the JSON.

[lavish hornet]

What is it?

[eager oriole]

Guys i don't know how to put night animation to my buildings after a lot of vids

[slim venture]

to be honest, there are almost no videos related to plugin tutorials

either check on forums or ask here like u did

[slim venture]

should i make paris old buildings? like those houses n stuff

[crimson basin]

i know how to do people animations but i dont know if i want to use that (im kind of traumatised by animations rn)

the light poles werent really working either

[kindred plank]

I honestly had fun making this even though it was a bit hard for me

But i learned a lot

[uncut acorn]

Is there a plugin that actually had some waving animations for trees?

Including plugin trees?

[frigid tusk]

i think there is

it's the only one like that

[uncut acorn]

Maybe something like this

Keep eyes of trees

[ripe jasper]

oh

that's ai i think

[frigid tusk]

it's editing

[ripe jasper]

yea mb

[uncut acorn]

Oh I thought it’s a plugin

I’m a little being tricked

[red lintel]

@uncut acorn this is the waving trees plugin

Works on every tree

Including plugins

[frigid tusk]

no way it exists

[red lintel]

It works as it is in the video

[ripe jasper]

Would you assemble it into a plugin package? The plugins you are sending now are all separate

[slender briar]

sup dudes

[ripe jasper]

yea it says pack meaning package

[crimson basin]

it a pack

[empty sigil]

I hope he has put the override or it will give an error to those who had their previous plugins

[orchid sorrel]

he can just do "once" it should work

[crimson basin]

I dont think his old ones were approved

[urban grove]

Hey kekman any update on your plugins?

[main compass]

Yes I'm uploading them as a pack in the plugin store

[slender briar]

soon hehe

[empty sigil]

True, just asking, in those cases which is loaded first, the mdf plugins or the local ones? Assuming they have both "once" in the json

[orchid sorrel]

no idea

[main compass]

Yep i did that on purpose. That's just my art style and the colour scheme that i use

[urban grove]

Can't wait to see your masterpiece! Take your time kekman. Masterpiece can't be rushed

No, but its possible to make one, im sure

[golden hare]

Okay, thanks!

[rain gate]

the minecraft plugin has one

[burnt bramble]

Just Updated the Advanced Decals Plugin! Added a couple new decals and fixed some visual bugs, as well as using the least amount of Plugin space as possible, as always you can download the newest version in The Leaf's server.

for now I'll be working on more templates to speed up certain things, for example, Slopes and Walls

[dusty hill]

can someone make a tutorial for making any kind of stairs and for making octagonal buildings

[orchid sorrel]

stairs is literally just bunch of pixels mashed together

you think you can get much details when a human is 3 pixels

[orchid sorrel]

looks very impressive

[burnt bramble]

Android - data

[sinful meadow]

How to can i fix this?

[red lintel]

Try another file explorer

[neat lake]

I use other apk to access it

[kindred tide]

@sinful meadow use the in built file browser in-game. What are you attempting to do?

Insert a plugin?

[sinful meadow]

yah

[kindred tide]

Yeah you're best bet is to use the games file manager

[woven blade]

Download another explorer

[blissful basalt]

For the small tug ships look at plugin event archives

[weak kestrel]

What kind of walls ?

[kindred plank]

How can i make the shadow for this building haiya

[orchid sorrel]

you already have the shadow?

except the back of the building

and the small outbuilding, but that should be your final concern

[trim blade]

Kulche is confused

[kindred plank]

Should i add shadow here

[orchid sorrel]

yes

I kinda don't get people who do shadows first but you do you

[ripe jasper]

lmao

[kindred plank]

For general idea

I used dithering pen anyway

[lapis stream]

are there any good stair plugins?

[ripe jasper]

platz or something by androx arev is pretty good

along with the pedestrian pack by montemarino

[lapis stream]

it shows error because of another plugin having the same code

is the pack by montemarino on forum?

[ripe jasper]

no

he uploaded one in the store

[lapis stream]

its not there

[slender briar]

this is how id do it

I am currently in 7% and in the going, i'll help you tomorrow

I'll also help with the tools

[crimson basin]

you can find tutorials on the forum

[kindred plank]

Geometric wise though i am not the best tool in the shed

[crimson basin]

on how to draw stuff i mean

[kindred plank]

You can

[crimson basin]

geometric wise, i always end up confusing myself halfway

[mellow goblet]

Yes sir🫡

is there something to fix?????

colors

weirldy off

and details are kinda off too

work on colors and small details

[deft canyon]

The first building of my 50 part series which may take 20 years at this rate.

[urban grove]

Not bad at all

[weak kestrel]

Woohhoo my suggestion getting cook

[urban grove]

Hmm i wonder what you're making

[chrome patio]

Ok, I changed colors, what do you think?

[slender briar]

still, the small details are weird kinda and its overall noisy

[weak kestrel]

Will you add meran hotel too ?

[slender briar]

i avoid single pixel windows

even if it doesnt represent the window properly i stick to windows always being at least 2x1

[chrome patio]

Probably yes

[deft canyon]

Now to figure out how to implemented it.

[naive juniper]

USP Law School in São Paulo

[weak kestrel]

Can you look up on my other Prague suggestions 😁 .

[slender briar]

ughhh so many small detailsss

[crimson basin]

i could help

[deft canyon]

The building is pretty much done except for some texturing although the IRL building is pretty plain looking. I just need to figure out how to add grass. Maybe through importing layers.

[chrome patio]

These are 3x1 windows but I added 2 small details

[crimson basin]

i could do that for you, send me the textures and ill touch them up

[deft canyon]

I can do it. I'm doing that later. Right now I just need some grass. I may just have ti do it manually. Or make something thats looks similar.

Something to do with these sprite sheets maybe.

[orchid sorrel]

that just makes it look worse

the building needs some better shading and material textures

[deft canyon]

I guess I'll do the grass later as I have no idea how to implement it. I could draw it manually but I'd rather import the vanilla textures. No idea how that works with pixly.

[crimson basin]

(it doesnt)

thing about paint.net i like is i can have multiple files open at once, pixly cannot

colour eyedropping pain

[deft canyon]

So I have to do grass manually? OK..

Actually I guess I dont need anything for grass. Just leave those spaces empty and the in game grass will show underneath.

[orchid sorrel]

pixly if you could do anything worthwhile with it

[crimson basin]

im so glad you coverted me

i see my own insanity of using pixly on bluestacks

[orchid sorrel]

that's just brain damage

[chrome patio]

thanks for advice, I removed these window frames, added shade under balcony and remade roof

[orchid sorrel]

is this part supposed to be like a dormer?

[chrome patio]

This is a reconstruction of this element

[crimson basin]

ummm

no

doesnt resemble

[orchid sorrel]

lol

[somber haven]

I actually need more skyscrapers

[orchid sorrel]

I was asking if that's a dormer but considering there are windows here, it must be

[somber haven]

Sorry I'm so addicted to having more skyscrapers

[orchid sorrel]

then your roof geometry doesn't match up

[chrome patio]

Ok, so I changed this dormer to be more similar to the real one and fixed the roof

[orchid sorrel]

guess it's better now

not a fan of the colors and contrast though

[chrome patio]

Thanks for advices, now its time to make this building

[orchid sorrel]

thin

[signal lagoon]

btw, how exactly is 1 tile into meters? if use 16 pixels * 0.6, its becomes 9.6. if use c²=a²+b², c * 0.6, its becomes 10.7.

i'm looking for the speed in km/h or mph, the result in the normal speed is 1.25 tiles/second. if use 9.6, the speed becomes 12m/s | 43.2 km/h | 26.8 mph, and if use 10.7, the speed becomes 13.4m/s | 48.2 km/h | 30mph.

[slender briar]

brooo wtf

19.2 across

9.2 diagonal

why the hell do you need such exact measurements

[orchid sorrel]

geometry issue

theotown map gen says 10 m

[slender briar]

blue 9.2 red 19.2

taken exact, but perspective and stuff so rounded to 10 works i guess

[orchid sorrel]

it's not like anyone cares about those measurements

[slender briar]

correct

apparently bro up here does

[orchid sorrel]

apparently theotown cars default speeds are pretty accurate?

unexpected

[slender briar]

lobby did his homework

or theo i guess

[signal lagoon]

but the cars drive straight

[slender briar]

yeh i measured both bruh

so the cars would be 9.2 buuuuut they dont drive exactly pixel for pixel

the cars slide across the pixel,they aint grid bound

so the car speed is a bit weirder to calculate tbh

but again why do u need that kind of info

its like a 5km/h discrepancy

[signal lagoon]

i will tell you when its done.

[main compass]

Progress

I scraped the previous one

[woven blade]

And you're an angel, yes?

[slender briar]

nah but i recognize if pixel art is drawn by hand or not

lmao

trained eye recognizes a hand made thing

[woven blade]

Okay, I'm a bad guy

[slender briar]

depends, if the plugin is just a copy pasted texture then yes

if its just weirdly blurry but still self made no

and btw deleting all messages after being accused of fakin plugins is suspicious man

[main compass]

Blud got cooked by kekman

[slender briar]

i also found an idea for a new plugin

this is going to be my next plugin after the stadium is done

[trim blade]

I do

I want to try making the distances between buildings and other things realistic

[slender briar]

0.6m/pixel

there

youre welcome

have fun when a building doesnt end in .2 or .8 meters

appreciating the ratios is even better, even if not realistic as long as it looks like the building nobody bats an eye

here the number of pillars on the left side is 3 too few and the pillars are a bit thicker than irl but the scale feeling is right on point

dont be afraid to sacrifice realism for beauty

in the right doses ofc

[weak kestrel]

Bro I have a suggestion if you like , Antwerp central station

@crimson basin

i restored some old id

Some old IDs like these, as they are already included within the plugin but under a new one, they are all fences

[crimson basin]

Why are they under a new one

The only thing you can safely change ids of are animations, categories, tools, template etc

[static sandal]

some had certain drawing errors

i drawed it again

but they are only diagonal bollards

[crimson basin]

But why do they need their ids changed, why cant you reuse the old id

ill replace rn
