[orchid sorrel]

(was there a pidroid command for that as well or am I tripping)

[rain gate]

Pencrypt in dms i believe

[sharp kettle]

really?

[livid agate]

Pencrypt-plugin

[agile forum]

Please provide the plugin zip file as an attachment.

[sharp kettle]

ah thanks, much appreciated

[sharp kettle]

also in dms? what do you mean

[rain gate]

think about it

[thorn willow]

So does that mean it has to be built from total scratch instead of using "tracing technique"?

[orchid sorrel]

you can dm the robot like any other user

[orchid sorrel]

it's not like anyone will check your techniques, but if it's too similar it can be taken down\

[thorn willow]

Oh great. 100% will not be similar. they are too blurry to be copied on "similar ways".

[crimson basin]

Blurry?

I dont think hes going to approve it

[midnight obsidian]

yea i dont approve my own plugins

[crimson basin]

Well youre lucky, ill probably maybe do plugin approvals tmmr

[midnight obsidian]

theres a lot of plugins bunny

[crimson basin]

Theres like gonna be 30

I didnt look at the kill count today

[midnight obsidian]

hiyaa flats? that sounds like a terrible plugin

[crimson basin]

It was almost 30 yesturday

[crimson basin]

And why would that be

[midnight obsidian]

i just don't feel like liking it

[livid agate]

I am working on redocumenting the plugin system, at least the JSON attributes first. I would like to ask about the design, what could be included, excluded or changed

This is an early version which currently has almost* every building draft attribute listed: https://pca.svetikas.lt/docs/
* - no winter frame variants yet

[midnight obsidian]

bunny i'll spare you like 2 or 3 plugins of work

[orchid sorrel]

dark mode

jesus how many attributes can animations have

[livid agate]

wait before you've seen the building draft

good idea

[crimson basin]

Its a plugin update, if it helps, it reduces the plugin texture space used by like 90+% and also nicer graphics than before

[midnight obsidian]

"ping pong" animations

[uncut acorn]

That’s 20 max better

Better enough

[midnight obsidian]

wtf is this

[livid agate]

It's used by biomes

[crimson basin]

Whats a float

[livid agate]

it's a non integer number

[crimson basin]

Crazy

[livid agate]

like 1.5 as opposed to 1

[crimson basin]

Oh-

[livid agate]

I plan to have tooltips on the types if they are base types and hyperlinks to game objects

[crimson basin]

Wtf whys there so many

[livid agate]

try now

[crimson basin]

On building

I salute you ja, this looks like a lot of work, good documentation

[livid agate]

lack thereof

it still needs to be documented, right now it's an index with some documentation

[crimson basin]

Huh?

[crimson basin]

Honestly, better than the current forum ones already

[livid agate]

the price of the draft gets calculated by using those drafts in addition to the current draft

pretty sure its used in pipes underground

or whatever its called plugin

[midnight obsidian]

alright bunny you have 3 less plugins to take care of now

as per usual, i found the worst ones and disapproved them :>

[crimson basin]

M interestin

[crimson basin]

Nice

[midnight obsidian]

can i get super privileges

[crimson basin]

Honestly, i appreciate that, less time for me to disapprove stuff

Also

What do i so with the 1st plugin on the pending list

I sont know what to so with it

[crimson basin]

Oh so kinda like when you use compositions?

[livid agate]

probably

kinda like the draft infers requirements from the composition

[crimson basin]

🤔🤷‍♀️

More attributes than i ever thought thered be

[midnight obsidian]

plot twist: theres still a bunch of undocumented features left

[crimson basin]

Probably

I havent seen shift yet but thats for animations i guess, maybe?

But maybe it can be used in buildings too

[livid agate]

thats for animation objects

I havent finished documenting animation drafts yet

and animation objects are bigger

[crimson basin]

Yeah

Rip ja

Good luck

[midnight obsidian]

@main compass hi, you might want to check out your plugin. theres some important stuff to take account

[crimson basin]

Wow, youre actually approving the plugins?

[thorn willow]

yeah, i mean i cant get the buildings full resolution. only from screenshoot. Turns out it was harder to trace than building it from scratch

[echo moon]

I cant, the pixel color doesn't match, i only made that lime green color

I mean, the l-r gate forms a square gate according to the fence type

[oblique tundra]

I would like to have a better explanation for this disapproval

[naive juniper]

My plugin has shadows, and it was deprecated

[stoic palm]

How is that related to his issue lmao

[stoic palm]

The shadows don't shadow very well

That's about the only thing I can assume that means

[oblique tundra]

That's his plugin

[orchid sorrel]

it would be nice to actually see the graphics

[stoic palm]

I can read lol

[orchid sorrel]

because I'm not going to the store to download it

[stoic palm]

But the issue is with your plugin not his

[oblique tundra]

Sir I didn't uploaded any plugin

[stoic palm]

Then why did you post it lmao

[orchid sorrel]

lol literally what's your problem then

[oblique tundra]

Because I'm trying to help my friend

[stoic palm]

I understand there's an issue but talking through a third party makes it more convoluted

Is your friend in the server?

[oblique tundra]

@naive juniper tell them.

[stoic palm]

Ohh it's this guy lmao

[naive juniper]

It's my plugin that is helping me

[stoic palm]

Okay so apart from the needless confusion...

[stoic palm]

do as Kulche asked

[oblique tundra]

Show your graphics

[crimson basin]

🍿

[gaunt quartz]

[orchid sorrel]

for the love of god

[oblique tundra]

The png my friend

[naive juniper]

sorry

Is it just one or all?

[orchid sorrel]

that works too

screenshots are fine

well there are no shadows on the ground

[midnight obsidian]

there are no ground shadows

[orchid sorrel]

and actually nothing else casts shadows

[midnight obsidian]

and wall shadows as well

[naive juniper]

the shadows on the floor I didn't think about them

[oblique tundra]

So now you found your problem

[naive juniper]

I will fix

[oblique tundra]

I would take the opportunity to adjust the shadow on the last house roof

[naive juniper]

Ok

[low nebula]

Best dutch plugins?

[orchid sorrel]

search erksmit

[stoic vessel]

Hey I'm new.What is this channel for

[worldly sand]

Discussing plugins

[stoic vessel]

What exactly are plugins

The game doesn't explain it well

[unique kindle]

How do I do that

[rain gate]

theres a thing called channel descriptions id recommend reading them

[stoic vessel]

Ok

Wait were you being sarcastic 🤔

[crimson basin]

no need for that eggie, i mean yes but also, maybe be nicer? seems they joined discord like 4 days ago, so not knowing is understandable

[rain gate]

it wasnt meant to be in a rude tone

[crimson basin]

when you phrase it as "theres a thing called" it definitely comes off that way, just something i want you to keep in mind when talking to people who have a relatively new account

[empty sigil]

They are "add-ons" that you can include in your game, that means plugins with functions, buildings, decorations, trees, etc...

Just by entering your Plugins Store in the menu you can get an idea of everything they offer.

[stoic vessel]

Thank you that was actually Helpful

[midnight obsidian]

yea download the plugin "spruce trees"

heard it's very good

[rain gate]

[stuck spade]

Hey guys can someone help me fix this problem with the plug in I just installed it and my sll cities look like that I can't build an do anything pls someone help

[rain gate]

lmfao

[summer kestrel]

This just made my day (It's 1 am)

[stuck spade]

Naa I watched almost 50 ad

[rain gate]

if im not wrong that plugin is just a troll lmao

[crimson basin]

lol

[rain gate]

im like 99% there is nothing else to it

[stuck spade]

I didn't even notice

[crimson basin]

its an overlay

[rain gate]

everything will go back to normal when you delete it or turn it off

[stuck spade]

So only the way to fix is to reinstall the game?🥲

[rain gate]

no... the plugin...

[stuck spade]

Idek what's the name of the plugin

[rain gate]

go to the store, theres a section called installed plugins or something like that

find it in there

you'll recognize it

[midnight obsidian]

full hd

[stuck spade]

Alr

yea i found it

lol

it says this plugin adds a humongous overlay which blocks your city view

[rain gate]

i guess this will teach you to read descriptions in the future lmfao

[stuck spade]

yep i will

coz i never did before

xd

ty tho

[slender briar]

lool

who let the plugin bro cook

[burnt bramble]

Download the Advanced Road Plugin on my behalf🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[burnt bramble]

Whoever approved that plugin needs to be studied

[stoic palm]

Last I checked it was JAs plugin

So he likely green lighted it

[burnt bramble]

I thought it was someone random tbf, never seen that plugin anywhere personally

[uncut acorn]

Happy spoofed July fools #plugin-showcase message

[carmine hemlock]

Korea school

[uncut acorn]

I like this plugin very much #plugin-showcase message

[severe abyss]

Hmm

I needs more detail

Try this first and if it doesn't work, i will do more work.

[paper river]

Nice

[severe abyss]

I have really huge project hehe

It's only early access.

[empty sigil]

Hey @severe abyss #tips-n-tricks message You can just ask here any questions related to plugins, that channel isn't the place.

Regarding that, u can always improve a plugin, and any plugin can be rejected for something until you fix it, even from creators who have been at it for years. It's impossible to always be perfect.

[severe abyss]

Ok

Sorry

[empty sigil]

Regarding your first plugin, it's a start, if u need some advice... More than details, which also needs, is that you need to adjust the contrast and saturation, remember that one wall hits the sunlight, and the other doesn't. And the noise you made to the windows is a little weird.

When you finish everything, remember that it must have cast shadows, here in the pinned messages there are some examples of how to do it.

And if you want to have references, World Texture is great for that.

[mellow goblet]

That's alot💀

[paper river]

Lol

I added the white one for variation

[idle plank]

Do you have suggestion on how much the Monthly Cost of this Dense School should have? Like T20,000 or T25,000?

[boreal charm]

how much students are there?

[idle plank]

27,000 students in Low Education

36,000 students in High Education

[boreal charm]

yea the cost is good enough

[crimson basin]

i would much prefyou remove"performance", if @orchid sorrel would like to give his opinion as head plugin mod

[orchid sorrel]

as who

[crimson basin]

plugin mod incharge :)

[frigid tusk]

The God of Plugins

[crimson basin]

you did say all issues with plugin approvals go to you, makes you the incharge/head

[unique kindle]

When will the transport update get released

[orchid sorrel]

[frigid tusk]

Love the rework!

[unkempt pollen]

It's a different one. The one that's in the plugin store is called Planalto Palace

[glacial galleon]

Avanced

[uncut acorn]

ah

[dreamy hearth]

I likey where dis is going

[upper gate]

Does anyone have private plug-ins they can share with me if it's allowed and all that

[eternal willow]

What are some good plugins for new players or beginner friendly?

[urban grove]

No it's not allowed to share private plugins. Except maybe the creator of that private plugin shared it to anyone or the creator of that private plugin is fine of people sharing their work or the people have permission from the creator.

[near flame]

what exactly are you looking for

[urban grove]

Here's some i recommend getting:
Philippines road pack, European buildings expansion, Service Expansion, The Railroad Expansion, Terminal Exchange, MBMP, and i13 terrain tool

[eternal willow]

Quality of life, something that makes that game fun or atleast more interesting, less tedious or cool

[eternal willow]

Thanks man

Time to watch 23 ads

[near flame]

well i suppose you could get some deco plugins

you should check the theotown forum

there are many free plugins there

get some decal plugins

[urban grove]

Certain tools like i13 terrain tool are a lifesaver!

[near flame]

and some decos from mdk

[eternal willow]

What's i13

[near flame]

it is a road plugin

[eternal willow]

Ohh

What's it do

[urban grove]

There's also my plugin list. Which has alot of plugins like buildings, decos, tools, etc

[eternal willow]

Okay thanks

[near flame]

it adds more road

but i think mewmew advanced road is already enough

mewmew and phillipines road

[urban grove]

Basically it adds roads but is kinda advanced. We're talking one lane road (which is not even part of vanilla).

[neat cedar]

if you have time and u can understand the system, u can make roads and markings urself. I do it that way

[near flame]

yes i understand that

you can make one lane road from mewmew

[neat cedar]

U can do almost whatever you want

[crimson basin]

sure

[neat cedar]

40kb for a tower is weird ig

[crimson basin]

why

its mostly just json, as per the usual

[neat cedar]

Idk whatever it is. But we all know it aint priv 😭

[crimson basin]

technically it is in its strictest sense

it aint available on store nor forum

[neat cedar]

Fr?

[crimson basin]

yeah

[neat cedar]

if its your's i dont think its a problem 🤷

Forgot bout that

[crimson basin]

i wouldnt have been sharing if it wasnt mine xD

just one of my unreleased plugins, its not really good enough imo to publish on either

but i dont mind sharing it

[neat cedar]

Why is it named colourful tower tho?

[crimson basin]

try it out

[neat cedar]

Uh

[orchid sorrel]

it probably includes a bunch of colorful towers if I were to guess

[crimson basin]

its not malware i promise

[crimson basin]

it hath one building named after you :3

[orchid sorrel]

wtf

[neat cedar]

I thinked about something else when i saw colorful 💀 (it may be a troll thing yk)

[crimson basin]

have you not seen it kulche lol

[neat cedar]

I will get backup of my save

[orchid sorrel]

you think I remember every plugin of yours when you create a 'new' 'plugin' every week

[crimson basin]

good point

most dont go to thejson part tho

but

this one has marvelous code which will make you want to ban me

[orchid sorrel]

nice json without comments

and formatting.......

[crimson basin]

@neat cedar i think this will answer your question

[orchid sorrel]

eye spazm building plugin my beloved

[crimson basin]

im pretty sure i let you choose the palette

[orchid sorrel]

yeah but how is that relevant

[crimson basin]

i think your one looks pwetty

[uncut acorn]

friend choice is top 🔥

[crimson basin]

if these start ed spawning the hell out of rci zones, it would be hell lmao (i tried), thats why they are building type, so they can be placed manually

[crimson basin]

glad you like it, now that i know i can use hex codes, i may or may not continue it, yet it will never be released 🤷‍♀️
its kinda just fun goofy stuff

Thanks!

[blazing pollen]

How do I make a plugin

And is it possible to retuexture things?

[urban grove]

Check the pin. If you have any questions then feel free to ask it here

[blazing pollen]

There are no pined massages answering the question....

[urban grove]

"How do i make a plugin" Well if you checked the pinned messages. You would get a bunch of tutorials and a list of apps to make plugins. If you're having trouble when making a plugin then feel free to ask for help here.

[blazing pollen]

Wait one sec I think my discord is glitching again

Yep it was ty now I can see propally

Theotown one looks pretty great lol

[empty sigil]

Hey Chipp, I just saw that Dual said you were leaving, let's hope it's not something definitive

[sharp kettle]

definitive?

[empty sigil]

Definitive about never coming back 😅

[dusty hill]

aw man, i hope he will relase rest of the plugins

[ripe jasper]

he already did on the forum iirc

[sharp kettle]

thats rather uh, complex to answer

[sharp kettle]

[dusty hill]

oh

can you give me a link

[empty sigil]

#town-square message?

[dusty hill]

thanks

i'll check out it later

hope there will be WW2 plugin

[empty sigil]

#plugin-suggestions message @dusty hill Men, try to be a little more specific, since there are already WW2 plugins. If you are going to say "infrastructure", try to say the name or reference images of those infrastructures... With vehicles as well, since there are already several, from ships to tanks.

[dusty hill]

problem is that i can't post rn

bcz i will be back home later

[empty sigil]

Then make the suggestion when you are at home

[slender briar]

where kek

[boreal charm]

Chat am i cooking with this build?

[neat cedar]

Yuh uh

Gimme this 🔥

[boreal charm]

Hmmm i feel something not enough

[neat cedar]

Wha?

can you gimme this tho i need some differences for smaller buildings 🥹

[rain gate]

maybe make your shadow a little darker

[boreal charm]

Ye maybe that

Tho i am still lacking alot to get to here

[boreal charm]

Kk

Tho you want it zoned or not?

[neat cedar]

That miniature city is so good lol

No need for zone i prefer manual building

[boreal charm]

I need to recreate Königsberg

[neat cedar]

Realistic cities yk

[neat cedar]

Dont forget the castle

[boreal charm]

I made it already. Look bad tho soo imma update em after the nomal buildings are done

[neat cedar]

Not that bad bro its useful but not really good for plugin store ig

idk how mods decide tho

[boreal charm]

I never upload to store lmao

[neat cedar]

Lol

[urban grove]

Damn that looks pretty decent

[signal lagoon]

||waiting for transport update, so i don't need to take this anymore||

[empty sigil]

In the end which formula did you use for km/h? It would be great to establish a consensus for that, even though I currently have it in tiles/day

That my formula is more for distance than for speed

[weak kestrel]

Name ?

[upper gate]

Plugin name of statue please?

[strange cloud]

DSA

[signal lagoon]

speed * n, which n is a magic number. actually i forgot how i got the n. lol

[orchid sorrel]

lol

I think we talked about it before and established that speed 1 is around 45 kmph

[uncut acorn]

Finnish modern house

[orchid sorrel]

also, do you not love calling constants "magic numbers"

[signal lagoon]

yeah, in speed 1, about 45~48kmh. but, i used effective speed, speed 1 == 2.5, and it can be around 80~85kmh.

magic number when i forgot/don't know how to get it. lol

[rain gate]

Something like this could be in the transport update?

Because looks amazing

[upper gate]

On forum? Because I didn't find it on store

[orchid sorrel]

it's in the game by default

[humble iron]

I understand only half of this message #plugin-suggestions message

[empty sigil]

It isn't the DSA statue, but it is quite similar.

[orchid sorrel]

oh yeah maybe?

I guess it's mdk's park pack?

[boreal charm]

WOW

[neat cedar]

German telephone booth 🇩🇪

I will update it later it seems unrealistic now

[kindred tide]

It looks more like some kind of medal

But I can see the telephone booth in it

Perhaps try making it a bit bigger?

[neat cedar]

There were an old version and it was bigger. But eggo said its too big

[orchid sorrel]

it's already large as it is

just fix your colors

[neat cedar]

Ik its just the beginning to see it in game

[neat cedar]

Do you have any tips to make it more realistic? (Im using paint.net)

[orchid sorrel]

more realistic colors

[neat cedar]

Darker?

[orchid sorrel]

phone booths aren't egg yolk yellow and green

at least not radioactive egg yolk yellow

[neat cedar]

Lemme send you the photo

[orchid sorrel]

ugh

that's one ugly facility

[neat cedar]

When I search for german phone booths they all are yellow

not dark yellow tho

Otherwise I was going to make it darker

[orchid sorrel]

anyway increase your contrast and remove that awful green pixels

[neat cedar]

K thanks

[frigid tusk]

Also fix your shadow

[neat cedar]

Yea I saw that and Idk why did it stay short

It was longer

taller*

I think I need a code for that. Ima search

Now is it better except the shadow? I made the windows darker because Most of the plugins I saw, windows were dark.

Im rookie af at colouring 😭

[rain gate]

Still oversized

And ground shadow is wrong

[neat cedar]

Ik I saw it on forum

[orchid sorrel]

"I made the windows darker" they are literally white....

[rain gate]

Real

[rain gate]

What?

[neat cedar]

I painted it with grey on white😭

[neat cedar]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=2290

tip for shadows

[rain gate]

You did a horrible job following it

[neat cedar]

Ik😭

Idk why am I rushing I gotta focus more

[orchid sorrel]

is this your first plugin?

[neat cedar]

yuh

Also thanks to everyone trying to help me

[orchid sorrel]

you should try doing some actual buildings to practise

[neat cedar]

I wanted to make these first because I need them more

a flag and a phone booth

[lofty widget]

It's not very detailed but I'll improve it

[rain gate]

Looks perfect 👌

[orchid sorrel]

shapes look fine

but 0 texturing

[echo moon]

changing the shape of truck into a fence might be a bit stupid idea :

[naive juniper]

Cathedral

[empty sigil]

I think you could do it with steal and thus have much more variety, without consuming plugin space.

Unless you're going to do it with non-vanilla cars/trucks

[neat cedar]

Modular goal post upcoming. This is the first variation

[frigid tusk]

It's oversized

[rain gate]

(he dosent listen)

[neat cedar]

Nah I made the booth smaller

I listen

[rain gate]

🤨

[neat cedar]

Just a very little bit. A professional goal post is 2.5 meters tall so its just a bit oversized

but Im lazy to fix that

[neat cedar]

Wallah I listened and made it smaller

[rain gate]

oversized by like 4 pixels

your goal is taller then a 1 story building

[neat cedar]

Stop focusing on mistakes instead of good sides for a time man. Im just a beginner, chill.

[rain gate]

this is like the 4th time youve made the same mistake

im simply trying to correct you

[neat cedar]

I already know its not correct. I said again and again.

Lemme try

For God sake

[rain gate]

then why havent you fixed it?

[neat cedar]

It is the first fricking try

Its the first goal post I have made

Wallah chill

[rain gate]

you make no progress when you dont try to fix your mistakes

just learn scale in general

it will greatly benefit you instead of you continuing to have that mistake in everything you make

[burnt bramble]

Hey man relax

[rain gate]

why do you guys think im rude lmao

[neat cedar]

uh

Ur kinda giving tips but a bit harsh for a beginner

they are good

Wallah no cap

but Im just a beginner

ofc ur better than me at creating plugins but chill man

[rain gate]

im not trying to be rude i cant help you view it as that

[frigid tusk]

HEY

Stop

[ripe jasper]

looks neat could use a bit of a darker tone of grey tho

[neat cedar]

Yea it looked a bit too white

Especially the net

[ripe jasper]

also a bit of the net looks awkward, the inner part

idk how to fix that but just a thing when i observed it

gl making plugins 👍

[neat cedar]

I got a small area so I its a bit messy 🤷‍♂️

[neat cedar]

Thx bud

[empty sigil]

There is also the option to use vanilla goalpost and simply edit it a little to your liking, at the end and long you give credits to Theo and Lobby it would be ok.

And you simplify the "work" of make something that is already done.

So you can focus more on the "modular" thing, which I guess will be the "complex" part.

[slender briar]

Actually I thinked about using other plugins or vanilla buildings to create my plugins but I decided to do it my self

Still thanks for advice tho

[frigid tusk]

I made my own goals
I advice 5 pixels at least, imagine the goalkeeper is tall and can jump, so it gives approximatively a height

[neat cedar]

Ima try to make it 5. Thanks for the advice. Nice posts btw

But Im trying a different type of goal post

wait a bit

this one

bigger tho

[frigid tusk]

not bigger

just change the type of net

[neat cedar]

No no I mean bigger than the post in image

[frigid tusk]

ah

[neat cedar]

lol

Actually I could fit it into one 1x1 tile but I want it to fit into two tiles because the pitch I made is a bit different

[frigid tusk]

it's easy to fit in one tile

[neat cedar]

No no no I mean I want the post be in two tiles but not in one. I forgot how wide was the pitch but the tile amount is an odd number for the side that goal post faces.

Is this size any better?

I think u understood what I meant by looking at the image

[neat cedar]

This is the best I can do for now

[neat cedar]

Things I did until now:

I saw a one pixel mistake on the goal post but nvm about it

Ok I fixed it

[glacial galleon]

I make them how it comes out xd That design is very God

[slender briar]

Too bad france didnt make their own goals at the euro 2024 against spain🤣

[unkempt pollen]

bro took the chance

[dreamy hearth]

so like I tried making a 1x1 building for the third time and ngl I initally hated it but it eventually got better the further it went on

based on a building near Omoide Yokocho, Shinjuku

slowly but surely I'm making the building pack

altho at this pace it may take 5 years

[echo moon]

Okay, i will try it

[amber drum]

I need a golden gate bridge plugin

Can someone make one?

[frigid tusk]

It already exists on forum

[neat cedar]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=8527 have fun

[amber drum]

Tysm

[neat cedar]

np

Its not my plugin tho

[amber drum]

Oh ok

I downloaded the file how do I put it on theo Town tho

[neat cedar]

Ur on mobile or pc?

[neat cedar]

I gotta know that if ur on mobile or pc

[unkempt pollen]

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.

[amber drum]

Phone

[rain gate]

put it in the plugin folder

[neat cedar]

Go ur phone's files

android

data

[unkempt pollen]

@amber drum ^^^ refer to the message here

[neat cedar]

scroll

and then press flowersoft

Put the file into the file named "plugin"

If u dont see the file named "data" u gotta download zarchiver from google play store and then allow acces for the app, then go android, data. It will want something from you to do I forgot what was that but do it and then u can have acces to theotown files in ur phone by using zarchiver

If you didnt understand u can watch a yt tutorial

its def having a stroke

[crimson basin]

why is the entrance outside the template

your roof doesnt look right either

[keen helm]

@urban grove @stoic palm since someone stole the old content I had, I just made new one

and it's even better now

[stoic palm]

It is! But I still am going to punishment whomever has stolen your content

[keen helm]

Feel free to

btw, just wondering, can we add monthly cost attribute to road decorations and fences ? @stoic palm

[stoic palm]

Your asking the wrong man lol

I've messed with very few plugins

[keen helm]

Yeah I didn't think x)

Because I kinda was thinking that it would be nice if my light post props actually did require some spendings for electricity

[rain gate]

I have a question please 🙏

You have a project for a battleship?

[livid agate]

Neither fences nor road decorations support monthly prices.

[keen helm]

How hard would it be to implement something like that ?

[livid agate]

Ask Lobby

[rain gate]

STQAE battleship

[unique pivot]

can lua count fences or road decos?

maybe it could be implemented with lua by spending money based on road deco/fence amounts

although that'd be very laggy

and I dont think lua can count that anyway

[livid agate]

Doesn't appear to have that functionality

[keen helm]

Wasn't that like... 6 years ago?

I don't

[rain gate]

Thank you 😉

[rain gate]

Comunism 🫡

[modern parrot]

What's wrong with the roof?

[signal lagoon]

why not? iterate all tiles and check use isFence and countRoadDecos.

[empty sigil]

The house has an unequal angle, with the left side lower than it should be. This includes the left window, which is one pixel lower than the other.

The depth you created for the windows and the middle section also needs some adjustment. The pattern on the roof doesn't help much either

But it's a good start, a little more work and you have it.

[crimson basin]

The roof angle is wrong ig, the top should be midway of the wall side

[neat cedar]

The roof kills me 😭

But nice plug

[terse ledge]

Something helps me pls with the asvanced road pack

Is there any tutorial pls send it

[urban grove]

You use the diagonal part to make diagonal roads, use the merge part to make well merging roads or non isometric roads, and use the curves part to make a curve roads. Just play around I'm sure you'll figure it out

[trim blade]

Are you using an invisible road plug-in?

That's invaluable when using advanced roads

Hello, i almost finished my next project as HSBC Building Singapore. It's any better?

But the label isn't kind bold

[crimson basin]

youre missing some shadows

[sleek thistle]

Which one?

[crimson basin]

[sleek thistle]

Yes.. but the green ground will add tree decoration before adding shadows

[dusty hill]

how abt this?

[astral robin]

@strange cloud what pins

[main compass]

Can someone tell me how to break my plugins into different parts

Like how the break a building up when it is not a square

[kindred sinew]

It looks way more shorter and fat than the real one, but man, the textures are really good! I would defintively use this building in my cities!

And maybe the green rooftop is too green

And the logo of bsc isnt in perspective

But keep going man

[sleek thistle]

Thanks for critizice on me. I hope to finish my project soon

[kindred sinew]

I hope too hehe

This building Will fit really well in my city

[random onyx]

hey, i was wondering if this is a plugin/if anyone has it?

[echo moon]

apocalypse plugin already just search on forum showcase

[echo moon]

yes. thats it modular race track plugin on forum

[echo moon]

nah, i will use that title gate name

[main compass]

I'm asking again can anyone pls help me and tell me how I can break up my building into parts when it is not a sqare in shape

[random onyx]

what about the stage?

[crimson basin]

wdym

[main compass]

I mean if the building is not fitting in a square template then how do you break it up into different parts.

[glacial galleon]

Why do you ask me for Animation for the floors for Repetitive Textures if I made almost all the floors different?

[rapid pilot]

Does anyone have the Lamborghini centurion police plugin?

[blissful basalt]

?

[rapid pilot]

Do you have that plugin?

[empty sigil]

Well, at least in the ss I see that the floors are exactly the same, and if you mean the black windows that have different positions, just use that "window" as animation too, it's a bit more work but you will decrease the plugin space by I don't know 70% approx.?

[blissful basalt]

No

Also the Hiyaa Flats plugin does this

[empty sigil]

That's because it has Category: false in its manifest, I think some Bunny plugins are uncategorized in plugins00

[kindred plank]

30-40 too strong? 😔

I'll fix this so i can give my friend some gems.

Make it so weak

Haiya

[stoic palm]

Please try and avoid off topic gifs

[blissful basalt]

Man theres a Highschool Plugin in the store that makes it so laggy bc theres alot of influence

Its still there

[stoic palm]

They very rarely retroactively remove a plugin lmao

[blissful basalt]

Also high construction price??

For a Well that nearly covers a map??

[stoic palm]

To offest the long term benefit

[crimson basin]

You show me what youre talking about first.

[crimson basin]

It does not actually
Ill look into it later why they do not appear in a category under plugins tab unlike other plugins

[gusty ocean]

Waiting for leaf vietnamese plugin it's really cool

[urban grove]

Like vonark Brandenburg airport plugin? Where it has multiple parts

[empty sigil]

It's weird then, it also happens in ur Cosmos plugin but it was after you updated it, before the update, it came out with its category as always.

[crimson basin]

Thats really weird seeing as the update ONLY changed the description and preview

[blissful basalt]

Its accessible

But in the Downside you have to be GRAPA Nominee or A Vietnamese

Can i ask if someone had made the manila post office plugin

There is one worser, exist in the plugin store most defenitevely.

[kindred plank]

Alright

Why my plugin still pending approval?

Sadness

It's been almost a week

[orchid sorrel]

I can disapprove it for you if you wish

what plugin is it

[static sandal]

Guys does anyone know how to get that coal refinery thing in theotown. Is it a plugin?

Alpha Mining? Idk which coal refinery you mean exactly in that screenshot.

[placid juniper]

is there a working invisible road plugin?

[crimson basin]

theres one by 1c_js (jeremiah) and one by yakka

[idle plank]

lol

Might as well I'll add some colour noise in this building...

OK I'll wait for another 2 weeks before it disapproves again lol

[empty sigil]

I think Bunny had already mentioned that to you before, right? That it was not necessary to use the Performance attribute in that building.

[empty sigil]

You can also work in night mode while you wait, no? With the Animation Dev Tool you make them in no time.

[idle plank]

I don't use them. Its a burnout experience for me.

I can work at those night Animations while waiting.

How is this looking so far

[kindred sinew]

Excelent!

What building is that?

Youre gonna add some light textures in the rooftop?

You've really improved alot. Will you do other buildings in the future? (Outside of Japan)

I’m interested cause I’m trying to recreate or create a JP inspired city

guys am i cooking?

[neat cedar]

Guys should i make this skyscraper as a plugin?

52 floors

[crimson basin]

probably not, if you do, use animations or i will haunt your dreams

[neat cedar]

What type of animations

This building is just a white block since 1987

[crimson basin]

animations are used to avoid repetitve textures from taking up too much plugin space

[neat cedar]

oh u mean texture

or

idk

[crimson basin]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=14695

[neat cedar]

I will already use different colours because this building is old af and some paint on it is peeling of

[crimson basin]

and what does that have to do with not using animations

[orchid sorrel]

thank you for those 30 pixels 🙏

[main compass]

Done ✅

[neat cedar]

I just chosed the first image from internet

np

[neat cedar]

I meant ima do the thing u want me to do

[neat cedar]

Nice plugin

[main compass]

Thanks

[crimson basin]

yeah animations make recolouring buildings easier, unless you want to use blue windows

[neat cedar]

no blue windows

please

[crimson basin]

so what colour windows are you making

[neat cedar]

I will make them close to grey

Who the hell on this world found the idea of making windows blue on drawings and in this game 😭

[crimson basin]

well windows reflect light

not light

it reflects the sky

[neat cedar]

then u cant make it full blue

[main compass]

Totaly blue windows just look too cartoonish and lack the feeling of depth. Though If the texturing is down well it can look good to

[neat cedar]

that's the problem

[brave raven]

I don't really think its bad to add bit of blue, I like to do a very small bit of blue and/or dark green.

[neat cedar]

If u work on it properly blue aint bad but just blue is hurting my eyes

[main compass]

That's true

I personally use a greenish kind of blue

[neat cedar]

I made a simple telephone booth (Im new at making plugs) and I use blue but its close to grey

[main compass]

The key is to not make it too saturated in my opinion

[neat cedar]

it matters on the thing ur making i guess

[main compass]

Yeah

Like i usually use the greenish blue but while making another building (sunshine 60) i had to use a different greyish colour to match the real look

So yeah it also depends on what you are buliding to some degree

[neat cedar]

ur right

[crimson basin]

i use a greyish desaturated blue

it almost looks grey but you can also see the blue

[neat cedar]

The skyscraper has this near it maybe I can do this too

[crimson basin]

i think you should focus on the skyscraper first

[neat cedar]

I already am

I started

But the part near it is also important it has a lot of stores

its like a mall

Beginning with the entrance

[neat cedar]

Well Im not cooking but atleast Im trying

There is already one, unless you want to suggest a specific one, in that case:

#plugin-suggestions

Add some image, name of the stadium, and done

[unkempt pollen]

turn that small private prop plane into a functional plugin & see as most people download the plugun

also is that a cesna?

[brave raven]

Yes, a Cessna 172 to scale as well.

[keen helm]

some might remember this statue

Well, I'll update it

Moreover, I have plans to also add more decorations of all types for the various sets, and add a fourth set as well (+ some smaller assets like red lamps ala red light district or something, though of course their name will just be old lamp something)

I want to include more small statues for the different sets, and I have lot of plans for that

I do also want to make asian lamps at some point too

new version of the general's statue

It's quite vibrant but that's intended, as this specific set of lamp posts is for vibrant locations

[keen helm]

rough idea on the design of my 4th old lamp post set

[stoic palm]

Getting back on the horse! happy to see it

[keen helm]

Yeah I feel like I can do interesting stuff

• having 4 different set of old lamps allows for even more diversity in city’s lighting

[stoic palm]

Honestly you could release any one set of these and I'm sure people would make some crazy stuff

[keen helm]

Well, 3 have already been released

They are just getting an update and I am adding another one

[stoic palm]

Forums? Can't say I've seen them on the store

Unless I am blind

[keen helm]

The downloads have been very underwhelming though, only ~10k

[stoic palm]

Which is possible lmaoc

[keen helm]

These are on the plugin store

[keen helm]

But sad

I mean, featured plugins have been the same for years now

New plugins, even of good quality, are hardly shown

[stoic palm]

I'm not really sure how that stuff is determind

Maybe something we can talk to JA about

[keen helm]

Type Max’s props expansion if you want to find the plugin on the store

[stoic palm]

I will be doing that!

[keen helm]

New update should add one new set, some advertising columns and also road decorations lamps & fence tool lamps

Can’t really say what more it’ll include but I also got plans for asian lanterns

[stoic palm]

Good stuff I love seeing the progress even if I haven't actually played TT in a few years

I still hop on to download plugins of creators I support

[crimson basin]

Lobby said all featured plugins are only for 2 weeks till they lose their status

Unless the algorithm features it again in which case its another 2 weeks

[stoic palm]

That algorithm does seem kinda funky

[crimson basin]

Ive been making an attempt to feature more stuff manually

[stoic palm]

Did he mention how the explore page works?

[crimson basin]

Explore page?

[stoic palm]

Because that's another one I have never seen change

The page that you open to one the plugin store

[crimson basin]

I didnt ask about that one

[keen helm]

The explore page is the one I was refering to

imo, I'd switch it with featured

[crimson basin]

Featured isnt that much better tbh

Although featured rotates, the algorithm has a way of picking stuff thats not exactly the high quality featured stuff is supposed to present

[keen helm]

current designs & upcoming/planned designs (in red)

[urban grove]

Nice

[midnight obsidian]

These could look so nice combined with my fachwerk houses

[neat cedar]

The entrance is done. Now i will work on texture and the top of building.

[midnight obsidian]

Animations please

"I hate blue windows ugh I'm not doing blue windows"
look inside
blue windows

[neat cedar]

I explained more u just didnt completely read all my messages

Also this aint straight blue

[orchid sorrel]

very much possivle

also, it very much is blue

[neat cedar]

Kk but Im still working on the top

[neat cedar]

This building has blue windows I went and saw it. Still understandable when u look on google maps

I made the colors as close as possible

[orchid sorrel]

anyway, why not start with smaller buildings?

[neat cedar]

Just wanted to make something I saw and know well

[neat cedar]

Now I need some help from you guys.

[orchid sorrel]

with what..?

[neat cedar]

Texture

Cant you see the things that arent there lmao

yk what kulche that message was a bit harsh sorry for that

It seems like this in game

[orchid sorrel]

"texture" that doesn't narrow it down even a little bit

shadows should be your priority now

[neat cedar]

I gotta make the building seem better first. making shadows isnt as hard as it i guess

I can make it later

[neat cedar]

Done

I will do changes on it later

I will add shadows for the whole building later too

Im bored

It may seem like it caught on fire before or its too old butthe building seems like that irl too. It is already old

[orchid sorrel]

it looks dilapidated..

but if you want it to look like that

[crimson basin]

dilapidated

[neat cedar]

Actually this building's painting is peeled and its really old

It seems like that right now

Idk if they painted it again

Do you think its overall good?

(ima add shadows later)

[orchid sorrel]

yes??? I spelled it correctly this time

it looks alright I guess

but I'm not sure who would like to have a half ruined skyscraper in their city

[neat cedar]

Well if I was building my city or an Indian city I would put that

actually it may seem like that but it really looks dilapidated so I can make it look cleaner and newer

also that gave me some experience

[crimson basin]

never heard of the word

[midnight obsidian]

honestly i would probably disapprove this

better off make it look clean and then use animations to make the building not waste plugin space

[neat cedar]

Yall are approving some half hour work things on store 😭

[crimson basin]

i will eat him then ill disapprove it, hed never know :)

[crimson basin]

like?

[neat cedar]

Lemme find

also it depends on the quality

I didnt understand a thing (might be my problem I dunno)

[crimson basin]

2019 stuff doesnt count

idk how that naufhal thing got thru but we arent going to do anything about it 2 years later

[midnight obsidian]

yup it's old stuff

[crimson basin]

what ill say is, as years passed, the plugin store rules became stricted to ensure players got better quality plugins

My plugin can be in it if I made some little updates right? 🥺
