[red lintel]

Looks pretty nice!
But theres some missing ground shadows on it

[boreal charm]

mostly accurate!

[boreal charm]

[neat cedar]

I will start doing the non-isometric bridge railing and ground decal for non isometric rails but i need my pc. I may send some screenshots this night. Do you guys have any suggestion for the upcoming plugin?

[frigid tusk]

mew already made an advanced decal

[neat cedar]

Not decal

They are just helping me to calculate the pixels

Read the message duh

[echo lotus]

🥹

[rain gate]

It’s your first plugin?

I can’t believe, because is very good

[crimson basin]

Shadows 🥺

[echo lotus]

technically not, because I was a former plugin creator

[echo lotus]

i forgor

[zealous glen]

I want to improve my texture, but still practicing in pixly app

[uncut acorn]

It’s better to make more different sizes of this

[terse ledge]

Does it take very long to be approved?

[crimson basin]

These days? Im busy so yes

Plead with kulche or ja

[orchid sorrel]

(this plugin in particular)

[terse ledge]

I ask because i have two never been approved since a while

[terse ledge]

Nothing

[frigid tusk]

"again"

[terse ledge]

The villa one

[crimson basin]

Theres probably a few marinas

[rain gate]

What you think is this? 🤔

What looks like to you

[crimson basin]

Falling blood

[orchid sorrel]

looks like an ancient magic ornament

not very theotown related to me

[main compass]

Does this look good guys?

[red lintel]

Looks very good and tidy!

[main compass]

👍🏻 yeah much better than what I made a month ago lol

That was like my 3rd plugin I had ever made

[rain gate]

The explosions looks nice?

[orchid sorrel]

would be better to see it in... an animated format

[rain gate]

You mean a gif?

[orchid sorrel]

preferably

[orchid sorrel]

looks clunky

[rain gate]

I can take the rocket launcher explosion as a reference?

I mean like the rocket launcher explosion

[drifting marsh]

Too cheap

[main compass]

Bro won a mrbeast challange

[neat cedar]

[neat cedar]

Oh okay I thought the end was coming😭

[summer kestrel]

Understandable

[neat cedar]

The first two variations is done

[crimson basin]

[neat cedar]

Bridge railing

It's just the beginning

I will update the textures later

[crimson basin]

whats the grey parts

[neat cedar]

Bridge railing??

oh u meant the other one

I put them to see if it fits correctly. It's mew's advanced decal

not mine

[neat cedar]

It took approximately 20 minutes to finish the first four variations. I think I will finish it tomorrow because Im bored rn

Dont mind the texture and shadowing I will add them later

[slender briar]

Radio mast tip

[rain gate]

Yeah hahaha 🤣

[echo lotus]

Also not sure if that shadow is correct (wait for kulche)

[echo lotus]

It's so beautiful ❤️

[echo lotus]

[weak kestrel]

Name of the mosque

[echo lotus]

I made it myself

[weak kestrel]

Ohh

Good sense 💯

[echo lotus]

inspired from An-Nabawi Grand Mosque

[weak kestrel]

What will you name it ?

[echo lotus]

for the plugin I willl call it…

[weak kestrel]

Kuala Lumpur mosque

[red lintel]

Al-Mallow Grand Mosque

[echo lotus]

great idea

[weak kestrel]

Good tho 😂

[weak kestrel]

Isn't grand suits in my opinion

[echo lotus]

masjidil mallow

[weak kestrel]

Mallowdudin mosque

[weak kestrel]

@echo lotus you should add here something ? Maybe fountain or umbrella

[echo lotus]

or maybe extra saff

[crimson basin]

maybe more contrast on the dome?

[weak kestrel]

And little star and moon on the peak of the dome as common in asian mosques

[weak kestrel]

Yeah 👍🏻

[echo lotus]

crescent is good enough

[weak kestrel]

Yeah

[echo lotus]

before I forgot

people!!

[weak kestrel]

Go on

[crimson basin]

give them coloured headwear, unless those are all men

[uncut acorn]

You’re now almost-like Zaaron

Nice work

[boreal charm]

nice mosque!

tho what mosque is that?

[echo lotus]

Al-Mallow mosque

I made it myself

[echo lotus]

they were all men

[echo lotus]

I followed zaaron techniques

[magic wharf]

[echo lotus]

bad news

[crisp osprey]

Fr

[livid agate]

wrong caption

https://tenor.com/view/oppenheimer-gif-13351626241522624527

[echo lotus]

wrong captions?

[livid agate]

don't worry about what I say

unrelated

[echo lotus]

my plugins disapproved because of poor graphics but meanwhile

[crisp osprey]

At a friend's wedding, I understand that it was me who was supposed to be in a wedding dress

[echo lotus]

and also, what is abysmal texturing?

[somber haven]

It's confirmed Theotown is racist

[crimson basin]

Thats an old plugin

[somber haven]

OK kinda

[crimson basin]

The quality requirements were lower back then compared to now

[echo lotus]

whats abysmal texturing?

[crimson basin]

It wasnt me

Lmao, someones uploading messi to the plugin store 🤣

[slender briar]

huh

pic

[echo lotus]

can you show the image

[frigid tusk]

we all agree to say that ronaldo is better everyone want to see

[echo lotus]

bruh

[frigid tusk]

hahahaha right after their defeat i smell it

[slender briar]

bad af

or not enough

[echo lotus]

ouh

[slender briar]

means ur plugin doesnt have enough texturing

[echo lotus]

thx for the explanation

[crimson basin]

I told you to increase the contrast, shading on the dome n stuff

[echo lotus]

I increased it but a small amount

sorry for not listening

[crimson basin]

It qasnt me who disapproved it though sooo

[crimson basin]

Remove outlines, increase contrast

[terse ledge]

K

Shadow is died

[terse ledge]

Increase contract how?

[crimson basin]

Make light side lighter, dark side darker

[terse ledge]

Ideas?

[strong solar]

How do you make a plug in¿

? *

[terse ledge]

Ideas?

[crimson basin]

Ptag creation

[agile forum]

Step 1: Download a baseplate of your choice It is recommended to keep it small if you are just starting.
Step 2: Download a pixel drawing app. It is recommended that you get one with layers and transparency options. You can find a list of suggested options here
Step 3: Here are some tutorials that show how to make a house. One by Theo and one by Kulche
Here's a tutorial by rtobby that provides tips on improving the plugin quality
You may find more tutorials in the getting started page and on the forum
And even more tips pinned in plugin discussion
Step 4: Last step is to create a json. You can create one by using PCA or use this tutorial here to make one. To make one manually, you can use any text app which allows you to save files as a .json
Feel free to ask for help or suggestions on the forum or on the server

Bonus step: Once done, you can upload your plugin on the store which once approved can be downloaded in-game by anyone or post it on the forum showcase or both! Remember that store plugins must oblige to the store rules

[echo lotus]

@crimson basin added ao and increased the contrast

what’s missing again?

[empty sigil]

If I were you, I would lower the saturation of the domes, as they attract too much attention and do not have much detail.

That or give some structural detail.

[buoyant orbit]

Hello guys
Sorry for bother you..
But where can i find the chat and the one help you "how to make a plugin"

Sorry for bother

[empty sigil]

You are abusing the amount of noise, the color palette you're using makes some things lose meaning, and it needs shadows.

[crimson basin]

what arturo said :)

[empty sigil]

Ehm, the plugin store is not controlled by skilled plugin makers, lol

[crimson basin]

its a trade off between for plugin makers and for the community

its hhard to find a middle ground

[terse ledge]

Not what meant

The first massage got deleted

[crimson basin]

approve something of lower quality and people dont like it and complain about the quality of plugins that get approved

if its too strict then it prevents new creators from trying (but the community likes stuff that looks nice)

[empty sigil]

#plugin-discussion message Just above your message is the answer

[terse ledge]

I'm not complaining
Look at my plugins💀

[crimson basin]

you said the quality requirement is too high

didnt ya?

[terse ledge]

Yeah in the first massage i assume

[crimson basin]

well its high because we want a certain standard for the store, for the sake of people downloading it

[terse ledge]

There is alot of old trashy plugins out there
You can get rid of them for some better one
"I'm not talking about my plugins they are trash too"

[crimson basin]

ah

well honestly, cant do much about old stuff, they are just there

[slender briar]

oh hell naw, make the saturation higher, you dont even notice the curve of the dome

[empty sigil]

It is not so complicated to fix ur plugin anyway, you just have to put some effort into it.

[slender briar]

detail the doors a bit, the grey windows/doors aint that much, and i would make the dome a bit more contrasted

[slender briar]

i swapped saturation with contrast sorry

ur right

saturation is high

but contrast is a must

[crimson basin]

i was wondering what constrated meant xD

[terse ledge]

Moving on is a better solution.
I can fix a plugin in 1hour
Or learn new things in other new projects even i feel i'm not developing

[neat cedar]

The example 😭

[empty sigil]

Btw, isnt mine. Credits to the author in the image.

[crimson basin]

hue shifting!!!

does wonders sometimes tbh

[neat cedar]

Hey bunny i gave up on that bridge railing thingy

Its hard 😭

[crimson basin]

lol

[neat cedar]

I worked till 2 am

[crimson basin]

not unexpected

try to understand isometric before doing non isometric

[neat cedar]

Nah i understood what to do also some of them fit correctly but for some variations i needed to expand the canvas and it messed up

I will wait for xina to publish his plugs ig

[crimson basin]

lol xinas stuff are insane

i could actually try to do plugin approvals today

[neat cedar]

He made a non isometric crosswalk plugin

Hope you approve

Wait

I always say sidewalk to crosswalk bruh. I edited the message

[crimson basin]

last one by xina i approved was the fences

its not disapproved, just sitting there

[frigid tusk]

I have some more non-isometric coming

Next one is "Advanced Rail and Farms Decals"

I'll just make vanilla rails and farms non isometric

[neat cedar]

Vanilla rails? Im waiting for dat. I also hope you'll add bridge and bridge railing to it

[frigid tusk]

I'm just doing decals

[neat cedar]

.

Nvm 😭

[orchid sorrel]

lol are you calling me unskilled? banned

[empty sigil]

Lmao, I'm not saying the plugins mods aren't talented, but it's not “controlled” like it's an elite or something. 💀 🤣

[signal lagoon]

[orchid sorrel]

lol

[dusty hill]

💀

[nova grove]

hi, I need some recommendations, I feel like everything looks weird, especially the green thing and the sign

[weak kestrel]

It's looks awesome 👍🏻

[orchid sorrel]

I'd indeed drop the sign

and the marquee

or at least make them much smaller

it looks extrememly similar to uhhhh

whoever made the american pack

[warm spruce]

looks too bland

the walls and the roof to be especific

and the plants are too saturated i think

[nova grove]

yep, thanks 😭

[nova grove]

I really love that pack

[signal lagoon]

me when bored with the main project, create useless things. lol

[nova grove]

thanks, i will change it

[frigid tusk]

I was waiting for you to click on select...

[signal lagoon]

just return the color object.

[boreal charm]

maybe some noice, because this looked mostly fine

[boreal charm]

A Dutch guy?

[empty sigil]

Coming soon, drawing tile pixel by pixel in TheoTown by Ian

[uncut acorn]

Is that ADutchGuy’s windows :0

[frigid tusk]

He is the only guy able to make theotown 3d

[urban grove]

Cool, it reminds me of A Dutch Guy plugin style especially those windows

[slender briar]

exactly, im not in the plugin admin team, says everything

[signal lagoon]

isn't it already fake 3d?

[signal lagoon]

||should i make it only available with cli ||

[red lintel]

Very lovely!

Maybe just add some more tables up there at the rooftop and some little stalls

make a little rooftop cafe

[strong solar]

Hey bro

[strong solar]

#language-bar

[neat cedar]

Yea?

[strong solar]

#language-bar

[slender briar]

about time i continued

[wise gust]

My first ever try of a plugin. It will be part of a pack with more houses that i am doing.

[slender briar]

white outlines are not so cool, could make the right side a bit brighter or the left one darker, but one has to be, other than that, the structure is really nice ngl

[dusty hill]

pls stop posting raw sprites

someone might steal it

[wise gust]

Oh, thanks for the review. I draw that line white because in the photo reference had that color.

[slender briar]

show refference

[slender briar]

i upscale em ,plus people steal anyway man ngl, even released plugins get stolen

and my style gets recognised fast af if it gets stolen

[floral birch]

Hou

Hoi

[slender briar]

i dont know

boring af shading work

[stoic palm]

The more people that steal them the more people I can ban for it lol

[dusty hill]

heh

[stoic palm]

If they've done it once they'd do it again

[thorny arrow]

🤧 5 days

i'm sick of the waiting time

[slender briar]

10x10

jeesh why are plugin store stadiums so big, like 14x14

who has time or interest in that lmao

[terse ledge]

Why the right banner is just... flying

[slender briar]

the rheinenergie is the only time i will do the night frames withouth a request, i have to make those sweet rut und wiess night lights

[slender briar]

as you can see it is not yet done

[empty sigil]

Here you always have to assume that everything is WIP, unless the creator asks for suggestions or some advice and say it's finished

[slender briar]

exactly,thanks arturo

[empty sigil]

The silver reflection effect on the left side gives me an idea of how good it will look and how much work goes into it lol 😅

[slender briar]

a daamn lot, nice that someone noticed, i kinda give the shading this global light feel sometimes, to properly show material or shinyness

uuu i have a mad idea for the residentials of cologne pack

[terse ledge]

Btw arturo can you help me fixing this

Pls

[slender briar]

start over

the scale is ducked

details are way too tall in some places

contrast are almost unrepairable cuz of the similar colors between faces

[empty sigil]

Fix what?

[terse ledge]

Internet cut out

[terse ledge]

Naw i was okay with the first one i meant this

[slender briar]

scale is off

same problem

[terse ledge]

And how to fix it

Cut it from the sides

[slender briar]

not fixable man i mean it could be fixed but you have to change soo much stuff that it wont even be worth the effort

cuz you have tiny windows for huuuge floors

imagine a 10m x 10m room with a 50x50cm window in it

[terse ledge]

Huh

[slender briar]

can you imagine that

[terse ledge]

So to make a right scale is there any measures

[slender briar]

yes

1 pixel=0.6 meters

3 pixels=1.8 meters

a normal window would be 2-3 pixels tall and one floor about 5-7 pixels tall

variates but those measurements are kinda good for standard res buildings

i keep going over your building trying to fix it but man again its easier to just start from scratch

[terse ledge]

I will make it again with your measures

Hope it will be better

[slender briar]

it will, time and practice man, everyone gets better

small cologne building with wall art

smallest building sofar in the cologne pack

huh

damn i messed the scale on the yellow one, that things huge

or maybe the rest is small

hmmm

[midnight obsidian]

put it near vanilla buildings and figure it out?

[slender briar]

nah hell nah

it is probably hughmongous

i didnt notice it cuz of the window borders probably

[midnight obsidian]

yea

[slender briar]

i wanted to make it scale accurate and kinda slipped and messed up the scale

[midnight obsidian]

but the wall art one does look tiny

[slender briar]

thats what happens when you are too detailed

[slender briar]

i mean it aint much bigger irl, like 3 floors with maximum 2 pixels space between

cant imagine it being much bigger

[midnight obsidian]

fair fair

[slender briar]

going for a 🚬

brb

[midnight obsidian]

scales in my fachwerk pack are also a bit varied

[slender briar]

bacc

[summer kestrel]

Ccab

[summer kestrel]

Yeah the wooden casing of the windows probably messed up the scaling

You can see that with the wood, the window is 5/6 squares tall

[slender briar]

fast fix

wont squeeze it more cuz it would loose too much but its better

[summer kestrel]

Much better

And I don't think it requires more squeezing

[slender briar]

true to scale probably but something has to be sacrificed for beauty

without the casing its kinda blank

[slender briar]

same issue

way too much space between windows, weird colors

[midnight obsidian]

i got a random urge to just make some sort of building from my head

just experimenting with random stuff

never used pure 000000 windows

plus i tried out making foliage a bit more differently

you can have it if you want

[dusty hill]

hmm

hope i don't need to fix something but only freaking texture it

[terse ledge]

Help with the lower part

And the middle part in the front

[dusty hill]

you mean your thing you doing

[terse ledge]

Yes i guess

[midnight obsidian]

i'm working on a little new set of trees

[empty sigil]

Well, apart from the fact that it needs to improve the contrast, I think it looks better, something that I still don't see much sense is ur black parapet wall. Do you have a reference image or is that building from your imagination?

[empty sigil]

Desert trees nice

[midnight obsidian]

Yea, they're for rocky-like landscapes

But i'll do my best to make them fit everwhere

[slender briar]

Why

[midnight obsidian]

Cause they kinda do already

[slender briar]

Ever seen a christmas tree in the desert or a palm in sweden?

I mean purpoise is purpoise, desert trees for the desert, making it fit everywhere idk

[slender briar]

Thats smth else

[midnight obsidian]

You know what, fair

But i think people will definitely find a way to use them not only in rocky areas

[terse ledge]

I will work on the contrast thx
And no it from my imagination

Help on the lower part

[midnight obsidian]

Alright i'm going to sleep

Cya

[empty sigil]

Send me the draw file and if I have a little free time I'll give you a hand with that

[neat cedar]

The texturing is insane🔥 The first two will fit into my british city really well ngl

[terse ledge]

Its really hard to fix the contrast the red is not having it at all

[empty sigil]

#plugin-suggestions message It is impossible to make such small details

[neat cedar]

Working on some random road decorations for little details.

I'll also restart on bridge railing and make a deco pack

[deft canyon]

Mesquite trees?

[north elk]

Guys how to download theotown for PC?

[neat cedar]

You gotta pay some money but u can download it from steam

Even if Im a mobile player I advice you to buy the pc version (Im not buying because Im lazy to move all my process) because its just better

yk

[urban grove]

Get it on Steam or use an emulator like Bluestacks

[neat cedar]

Blue stacks is sucking all ur ram I dont suggest it ngl

if you have low ram*

[urban grove]

Really? That sucks. I haven't used bluestacks btw

[neat cedar]

Last time I tried bluestacks it was using like 3 or 4 gigabytes of ram

So just open ur wallet for that nice game

[north elk]

Thank you guys

[urban grove]

I mean it's not that expensive. Maybe a couple of bucks

[neat cedar]

np

[neat cedar]

people is paying tens on other games and its a nice prive for this game

all the plugins are free and its really nice if we think them as dlcs or mods

I mean it just costs diamonds or watching an ad

[kindred plank]

Reminds me a lot of openttd graphics

[neat cedar]

Any ideas for the middle of this round shape? Ima put it in my british city for roundabouts.

[urban grove]

Is Ian making the transportation update all by himself? 😭

[weak kestrel]

Statues and random thing like fountain,or a monuments

[midnight obsidian]

Juniper

[boreal charm]

ok this is good, just need shadows

[stray tinsel]

guys

how do you create plugins

?

[urban grove]

Check the pin

[sleek thistle]

Japanese tree?

[midnight obsidian]

they're juniper trees, but they're frequently used for bonsai so i can see the connection

[stray tinsel]

ty

[midnight obsidian]

question, would yall prefer a more or less contrastful style?

i think i'm preferring the contrastful one more

old (top) vs new (bottom)foliage palette

[zealous glen]

Nice

[terse ledge]

Who is the active moderator
Pls

[orchid sorrel]

inspector/comissioner role

[terse ledge]

[orchid sorrel]

[terse ledge]

I guess its not that hard

[orchid sorrel]

[terse ledge]

Change

[orchid sorrel]

[terse ledge]

[midnight obsidian]

[midnight obsidian]

[crimson basin]

a dumbell on a stand

[midnight obsidian]

i guess i kinda see it

[orchid sorrel]

oh no now the two of you are having delusions

[summer kestrel]

No

The Bunny Syndrome

[crimson basin]

syndrome, thats insane

[summer kestrel]

Luckily you're only on Stage 2

[crimson basin]

where would that put me

[summer kestrel]

Just like how a dumbbell on a stand is 😭

[midnight obsidian]

lol

at least it's not a playground

[summer kestrel]

Final stage. At this point many start to think of choosing art as a career.

[midnight obsidian]

okay i'm liking how this one turned out

[summer kestrel]

The background's messing around with it a bit since it's also green

What plugin will this be?

[midnight obsidian]

yes

my main inspiration for these trees are juniper trees so that's what i might as well just call

[crimson basin]

this is where ive been stuck for 3 days

[summer kestrel]

What's the problem here?

[crimson basin]

(i dont like it)

[orchid sorrel]

"stuck for 3 days" that's something you draw in 2 minutes

[crimson basin]

ive been busy

[crimson basin]

its been running in the background of my pc for 3 days without any work being done

[orchid sorrel]

that hue shifting looks kinda weird

you keep your pc on all the time????

[crimson basin]

only because you know how i did it :)

[midnight obsidian]

yea the hue shifting should be a little bit more subtle?

[crimson basin]

i let my pc sleep but i dont shut it down

too much work tbh

[orchid sorrel]

it isn't even correct lol

[orchid sorrel]

cancer

[midnight obsidian]

haters may call me lazy

i just like this concept

[summer kestrel]

Just like students during exams?

[crimson basin]

the first shape looks interesting

[orchid sorrel]

collapsed broccoli?

[crimson basin]

if it can be branched higher to the righr maybe?

it would look nicer maybe

[midnight obsidian]

you could say

[crimson basin]

lol

broccoli trees

[midnight obsidian]

go eat something

i can tell you're hungry

here are all the trees so far

[crimson basin]

7. turtlr

[midnight obsidian]

????

[neat cedar]

Nah this is a turkey with green wings (half inside ground)

[crimson basin]

tlr

[midnight obsidian]

oh

at first i was like are you delusional

lol

unforeseen consequence

[winter aurora]

Maybe we'll have a good old T building

[neat cedar]

Left side and right side of tree be like:

[terse ledge]

.11

[midnight obsidian]

cant even have half dead trees

[crimson basin]

i love your trees rtobby

i have all of them on my pc and phone

[midnight obsidian]

alright, 16 unique trees

copypaste time?

get some more cluttered frames in

[red lintel]

turtle :3

[crimson basin]

happy kulche?

i fixed it without a purple overlay

just moved the hue towrd the red side

[orchid sorrel]

maybe

I'd use multiply on blue but whatever

[terse ledge]

2x2 smaller version
Feedback?

Its unfinished

[crimson basin]

Too red

[terse ledge]

Well thats the idea of the building

[obsidian needle]

guys should i try and make a bridge without any prior knowledge of plugin making

[terse ledge]

I will add details will make it less red

[terse ledge]

DON'T

Trust me

[crimson basin]

You could

But

[terse ledge]

Dont jump

To harder lvl with no experience

Or

[terse ledge]

Thing's like this will happen

[obsidian needle]

eh

[terse ledge]

💀

[crimson basin]

The bridge cant be that hard tbh

[obsidian needle]

ill give it a shot

yh

ill just sketch it first

[empty sigil]

If you use the Brooklyn one as a reference and solve the errors of that plugin, it is 10/10

[ripe jasper]

you need to learn how to properly flesh out the shape imo

[midnight obsidian]

unless you have a lot of prior experience with digital art, i definitely wouldn't try making this as a first plugin

[obsidian needle]

ehh

ive drawn

some stuff

[midnight obsidian]

a lot

[obsidian needle]

mostly art but meh

[stoic palm]

Drawing physical media is definitely different

[midnight obsidian]

and even the professionals still need to adapt to the theotown style

[obsidian needle]

ill still give it a try

[midnight obsidian]

yea but knowing how colors work definitely helps

look, i hate to break it to you, but i really doubt you'll manage to make it

[stoic palm]

Color theory is for losers smh

[obsidian needle]

xd

[midnight obsidian]

it's been a long time ever since i started making plugins and i still havent figures out all the nuances

only now am i experimenting with hue shifting

[boreal charm]

YES

[obsidian needle]

aighty

[boreal charm]

then when you become more pro in drawing you will look back at it in disgust

[obsidian needle]

ngl ive drawn before

mostly in arts and countryballs but ehh

people said theyre good
but seems like shii to me

[midnight obsidian]

i'm quite fond of this one

[slender briar]

bro said oop

[obsidian needle]

looks cool

[boreal charm]

the artist dilemma also hits me 😔

[midnight obsidian]

so far i got 19 of these

do you ever accidentally make 19 trees in one day

[slender briar]

modular 1x1

modular day today ngl

[slender briar]

modular buildings with fc köln art on the wall

single version

with a bit of spice to it

[crimson basin]

tootle :>
still my fav

[weak kestrel]

Any modern row buildings from Cologne ??

[orchid sorrel]

you have that original theo's artstyle

(which isn't exactly perfect for how theotown looks these days, but it still is great)

[crimson basin]

actually yeah

[slender briar]

modular 2

[slender briar]

muh style

[slender briar]

ill draw modern separate from standard so i dont get mixed up in the styles

all coming along ngl

cigarette time

[crimson basin]

wowww

[weak kestrel]

Ohh sounds cool

[urban grove]

Not gonna lie those tiny houses are pretty cute. Beautifully detailed btw. I've probably said this before but i really love your style!

I could totally see your plugins being made into vanilla content they're that good :)

[crimson basin]

If the game had texture space lol

[midnight obsidian]

right so that should conclude the whole pack

20 regular trees + 10 compositions of trees

[urban grove]

Lobby pls make TheoTown 2 🙏

[crimson basin]

Nice variety

[urban grove]

What tree is this?

[crimson basin]

Cant ✨️✨️✨️

[midnight obsidian]

i'm probably not gonna include any winter frames cause these are more for like deserts n stuff

[midnight obsidian]

juniper

[crimson basin]

Rtobby can you make some mo purple trees 🥹

[midnight obsidian]

no

[crimson basin]

Thought so :(

[orchid sorrel]

now slap some blue pixels on it for juniper berry

[midnight obsidian]

60cm diameter berry

[slender briar]

yeh me too but i already have one building in game content so im happy with that💪

but they do fit with standard theotown german building style

since most of them were inspired by buildings in ruhrpott where theo lives

finally sorted and gave everything a base

still have to draw bases for most of em

[orchid sorrel]

my child will draw bases for every building

"draw ground": true

[stoic palm]

Most people do prefer their own base detailing

[dusty hill]

hmm

[stoic palm]

I wouldn't even worry about it Kek

[slender briar]

of course, draw ground is too easy, i almost never use it

[dusty hill]

it seems still no one accepted my suggestions and made it...

[slender briar]

cuz i mean in real life there isnt just grass on the floor outside of a building

[stoic palm]

I mean it's not aboutnit being easy xD

It's about it saving yourself the trouble of listening to people complaining about the base

[crimson basin]

Uhhhh yeah?

[stoic palm]

Which they have done specifically for you countless times

[crimson basin]

Thats what a suggestion is

Poor evan

[orchid sorrel]

you can literally make it place a default concrete or something below it automatically

it doesn't have to be grass

[slender briar]

the people dont know what they want, when it comes to theotown art decisions i stopped trusting the plugin users, sorry but hell nah, ive seen what the plugin store likes and i wont do that

[stoic palm]

Hey man I mean you do you

[crimson basin]

Kek i have a proposal for you

[stoic palm]

At the end of the day it's your stuff

[slender briar]

when a flat skyscraper gets the downloads and hard worked soul infused buildings dont, thats when i stop letting the people dictate the quality and details of my plugins you know

[stoic palm]

But in turn you can't complain if people don't use your stuff hahahaha

[crimson basin]

These graphics are amazing, get that plugin on the store without json errors and ill feature it :)

[slender briar]

they dont anyway, they aint skyscrapers evan

you know it as well as i

[crimson basin]

First try though

[stoic palm]

You have me there

[slender briar]

oh i want at least 16 buildings before uploading part 1 cologne pack

[rugged sage]

Hi

[slender briar]

i dont know

[crimson basin]

You sure do like cologn

[orchid sorrel]

I mean that's how it looks like when you create content for a children game

there are people who do care

but a huge chunk of the audience are simply children

[slender briar]

thats why i draw it the way i find most pretty, cuz i draw more because i love the art style of tt than i do for the plugin side

i stopped drawing textures because i wanted to make plugins back when i stoped playing tt, rn i just love drawing the textures and if i have the textures might as well write a small json for it you know😂

[stoic palm]

You really should let someone else check the jsons before you upload something though

You really seem to hate influences

[crimson basin]

Me going through 2 non working jsons before approving keks plugins lol

[obsidian needle]

oooooh
le pretty shading

[slender briar]

nah i mean i have 0 idea what the influence values look like, 100? 200? tiles? miles? kilos idk

[stoic palm]

I'm pretty sure it's tiles

[crimson basin]

Game seems to use values like 40/60 for 2x2 buildings

[slender briar]

even if, is 50 a lot? 100? idk i have no scale idea for tile measurements

[crimson basin]

Im pretty aure its weird lol

[slender briar]

comes when you stop playing the game u make mods for lol

[orchid sorrel]

playtesting so hard lol

[slender briar]

yeh i just try to stick to drawing as much as i can lmao

[crimson basin]

Kulche what would be a nice influence range for like an 8x8

[orchid sorrel]

why would I know

also, 8x8 is arbitrary

influence reach isn't directly proportional to size

[crimson basin]

Theres your answer kek

Just use like 400 500 or something for 8x8 🤷‍♀️
Not 3000 though

That one guy that tried to add a plugin with sooo many influences at 3000

[orchid sorrel]

please playtest it beforehand though

[crimson basin]

Or use pca

Ptag pcs

[agile forum]

I couldn't find any tags matching that name!

[crimson basin]

Ptag pca

[agile forum]

Plugin creator app (PCA) is a website to create plugins for the game using a UI interface.

It can be accessed at https://pca.svetikas.lt/

[orchid sorrel]

pca is for noobs

[crimson basin]

Pca makes sure you have all the required attributes

Except draw ground

[slender briar]

playtesting, did someone say upload a plugin 5 times till you get it right? okay kulche XD

[rugged sage]

Can you recommend plugins?

[midnight obsidian]

made a lil thumbnail

[crimson basin]

Cmon kek

[crimson basin]

See pins of #town-square

[crimson basin]

I dont like it

[midnight obsidian]

not my problem

[orchid sorrel]

dumbass

[slender briar]

i find it refreshing

[midnight obsidian]

took me a while to make

[orchid sorrel]

it's fine

[slender briar]

not your usual thumbnail

[orchid sorrel]

it's gonna turn into a mess when you upload it to the store anyway lol

[midnight obsidian]

exactly

[orchid sorrel]

can we please get theotown 2 with steam workshop

[slender briar]

@rain gate i found your request funny af so i drew it as well as i could

[crimson basin]

Looks like i got a new nickname from kulche

[orchid sorrel]

congratulaiton

[slender briar]

bro this is like the peak plugin request, its so goofy ahh i just had to draw it

now back to serious affairs

[terse ledge]

I don't know what to do with the lower part

1.stores

2.garge

3.both

[rain gate]

3

[orchid sorrel]

people posting original pngs like anyone's going to click, open in browser and zoom in

[orchid sorrel]

the colors are off

and the roof needs work

also, what is even that building supposed to be

res? com?

[midnight obsidian]

alright so hows this icon

[crimson basin]

Niceee

[terse ledge]

Res

[terse ledge]

I didn't do the roof yet

What you suggest for the colors?

[orchid sorrel]

less orange, less saturation

[orchid sorrel]

black outlines inside 😭

[midnight obsidian]

cry

[strange cloud]

I thought it was acacias.

[orchid sorrel]

shading and details before even finishing 20% of the building

headache on so many levels

[crimson basin]

it looked weird without shadows

oh

i did the top balcony wrong

i was supposed to extend it to the right fully

[orchid sorrel]

yeah it's breaking the 4th dimension

[crimson basin]

this balcony is horrid, how did you convince me to do this

[orchid sorrel]

my brother in christ

you drew this

[crimson basin]

i was talking about the reference

my balconies look cute uwu

just wrong

lol

youre gonna love this but its transluscent railings

kulche

will you pick a nice orange for me

[orchid sorrel]

no

[crimson basin]

unless you want me to

Pcolor orange

[agile forum]

Specified string is not a valid hexadecimal value!

[crimson basin]

okay

[orchid sorrel]

pick it yourself and then I'll scold you for picking a shiddy color

[crimson basin]

Pcolor E2803F

[agile forum]

#e2803f

[crimson basin]

this?

[orchid sorrel]

you know art isn't about picking a random color out of the blue with 0 comparison and just sticking to it till the end of the world right

[kindred tide]

Pick my orange

[crimson basin]

no, thats literally what i do xD

[kindred tide]

#A8792F

That's my orange

[orchid sorrel]

your geometry is still very off

no idea what is it supposed to represent

[crimson basin]

i dont understand the geometri :(

can you please fix it? 🥺

[orchid sorrel]

no

draw the shapes first and then add the balconies

like a normal human being

[crimson basin]

well thats what i did

[orchid sorrel]

you failed miserably lol

[crimson basin]

seems so

[kindred tide]

Is that my orange?

[crimson basin]

not exactly

[kindred tide]

Good enough

[orchid sorrel]

looks more like yellow than orange

[crimson basin]

i did try your orange but it was too dark

[terse ledge]

Now i dont know what
What to do bunny says less red ✓-->added more orange
And now you tell me to less the orange naww

[crimson basin]

idk orange contrasted the bottom wall too much

i desaturated the orange a lil

[orchid sorrel]

you really shouldn't listen to bunny lol

[crimson basin]

i said less re, it was literally bright red lol

[orchid sorrel]

yeah and that too

there's more to colors than red, green, blue and yellow

[terse ledge]

The idea of the building is its a red colered house

Have ever visited Morocco

[crimson basin]

,

[orchid sorrel]

then give it a pleasant to look at orangeish red brick hue

ok not sure why bunny thinks this is too red?

it's just too saturated

[crimson basin]

thats what i mean

its too red

like pure red

literally almost FF0000

[terse ledge]

Nah

[crimson basin]

well thats what it looks like :)

[orchid sorrel]

bunny is being delusional as always

you should desaturate it first of all

then shift the hue slightly to the left

[terse ledge]

Hue?

[orchid sorrel]

yes???

[terse ledge]

What is hue

[orchid sorrel]

ok I'll straight up refuse to interact with anyone who doesn't know color theory

research it

[crimson basin]

hue is the h here

kulche, i made the orange look more orange btw

[orchid sorrel]

show

[crimson basin]

but then now i mave to do more balconies for the right side

[orchid sorrel]

still looks yellow

[midnight obsidian]

lol the icon differences are very clear

[orchid sorrel]

i see almost no difference

probably because the first one is misaligned lol

[midnight obsidian]

yea i was gonna ask

[orchid sorrel]

honestly no idea

[midnight obsidian]

i probably need to tinker with "x" and "y" on the preview frames, no?

[orchid sorrel]

maybe?

[midnight obsidian]

i'm talking in terms of color n stuff

[orchid sorrel]

no idea if handles exist here

yeah that too

[midnight obsidian]

yea handles exist

[crimson basin]

orenge

[midnight obsidian]

baby food yellow

[crimson basin]

the colour of your role

[orchid sorrel]

now that's real orange

[midnight obsidian]

okay maybe i should keep the y unedited

[orchid sorrel]

x and y is where the game gets the frame from your png

handles move the frame

[midnight obsidian]

yea i mean the handle

[crimson basin]

i gave up and just upped the saturation lmao

[orchid sorrel]

and it looks better

[midnight obsidian]

okay dang it, -1 is too low and 0 is too high

can you go float with this

i'm guessing no

so i'll have to stick with the high logo

[crimson basin]

kulche

why do they need so many doors

[orchid sorrel]

when the image is ai generated

(I have no idea whether it is)

[midnight obsidian]

it's like trying to center an image with php

[crimson basin]

i got it from google so idk, maybe

[midnight obsidian]

well guess i'll have to stick with this then

[orchid sorrel]

centering a div 💀

[crimson basin]

i dont want more balconies, im donw, what do i do with the right xide

[orchid sorrel]

guess that's what happens when you use a preview for tree drafts

[midnight obsidian]

thats exactly how i feel

yea i'm doing it for continuity sake

cause all my other tree plugins also have a preview

did a few png modifications and thats what i get

it's better than nothing

but i really like the icon, it's lively

i hate having to remember this every time i upload a plugin

[orchid sorrel]

sounds exactly like something ai would say lol

(and it probably is, considering lobby puts ai content pretty much everywhere these days)

[crimson basin]

i think its pretty interesting that hes embracing ai

idk what this is but it was in the reference

it accidentall became a 3x3, rip

[midnight obsidian]

the plugin is now uploaded and waiting approval

[slender briar]

lol

[crimson basin]

also,

look :>

[midnight obsidian]

hmm?

[main compass]

How is this looking so far

[midnight obsidian]

whats this?

shujin academy?

[crimson basin]

nice

trees look repetitive

[main compass]

Nah it's just a generic school

[main compass]

Yeah

That's temporary

I'll make my own tress

Also should I make a surface or should I leave it transperant

[midnight obsidian]

maybe i should make the shujin academy cause i'm so obsessed with persona 5

[main compass]

That'd be nice

[midnight obsidian]

i think you can make the surface transparent but add a concrete basketball yard or something

[midnight obsidian]

it's nothing super impressive

[main compass]

But i think something like that would be inside the Gym

[midnight obsidian]

children don't always need to do sports inside the gym

[main compass]

Hm

Actually you have a point

I'll consider it

[terse ledge]

Any ideas for the roof?

And pls help for the door

It looks horrible

[crimson basin]

eh, looks fine

kulche says not to listen to me though

[terse ledge]

Wait until he see the doors

[crimson basin]

hey look, i did a funny thing with railings

[slender briar]

first of all if the left box is meant to be a ventilation unit its too dark, the door is big af to be honest, but ill leave kulche to it

[slender briar]

floating

slightly bent

[crimson basin]

man, cant curse but F railings 🥺

[terse ledge]

Naw not kulche

[slender briar]

yes kulche, hes harsh but honest, it helps

[orchid sorrel]

lol

[slender briar]

aint that right kulche

[terse ledge]

Diam he come

[crimson basin]

technically not floating

[stoic palm]

That's why we keep him around!

[crimson basin]

jim

[slender briar]

jim?

whos jim

[crimson basin]

kulche, youre jim now

[orchid sorrel]

my true identity has been revealed

[stoic palm]

He maybe abit brash but he can for sure make one hell of a plugin

[slender briar]

new nickname time

[crimson basin]

gonna set that as my new friend nick

[neat cedar]

Maybe a little bit more work on texture and colouring and then it will be a really nice building 👍

[terse ledge]

Ok

[orchid sorrel]

"why does this not do anything" *merges hidden layer 8 times*

[crimson basin]

its kinda funny when kulche insults (cause he never means any of it), hed almost never like something, very rare for kulche to like something

[neat cedar]

i think its pretty good. Seems like a Turkish commercial

I dont have any experience on making plugins but it has to be really good

[crimson basin]

im still deciding if railings need contrast

[neat cedar]

Hm

its fine but seems like a fence that splits the concrete and grass at parks 😭

[crimson basin]

the one time it felt like kulche actually liked something i made was when he asked if i really made it

its a black railing

brown floor tiles

[neat cedar]

He liked it?

[orchid sorrel]

no I was sugarcoating
