Krasnodar

Gift of the Red Army verbatim in English

[glacial galleon]

Crystal tower 😅 And its nightly entertainment at work

[midnight obsidian]

yeah for those night animations we'd definitely require you to save texture space

this means cutting up the lights into individual floors and then repeating them using the animations function

[ripe jasper]

looks like the disney steamboat cruise

[terse ledge]

Wtf did i just draw

[orchid sorrel]

I did not live in the ancient times

[uncut acorn]

Should’ve adjust something

[covert root]

What

To adjust

[orchid sorrel]

if it isn't another downscaled image plugin

is the perspective supposed to be so weird?

[orchid sorrel]

mind boggling

[gloomy mesa]

Yes

[main compass]

@gloomy mesa is that a river in tge left pic or is that a highway

If that's a highway than hats off to the person who made it

Because it looks absolutely terrible

If that's a highway

[rich birch]

So beautiful
I like the way you made the building pattern

[gloomy mesa]

Thank you

[distant igloo]

[weak kestrel]

Bro that's philipines highway really insane work

[royal linden]

Hey guys

[royal linden]

[neat cedar]

Should i make a turkish telephone booth plugin? I may publish it.

[gloomy mesa]

Ura

[weak kestrel]

So cool

[gloomy mesa]

Country toilet

[royal linden]

But it takes up a lot of space

[gloomy mesa]

We can have a village toilet and a village house in the city center

[neat cedar]

its telephone booth duh. We dont have toilets like thst

[gloomy mesa]

2 million people live in the city

[weak kestrel]

Which is the city??

[neat cedar]

My city also has almost 2m pp

[weak kestrel]

For this ??!

[gloomy mesa]

Krasnodar

Yes

We have a private sector in the city center

[crisp walrus]

is there an existing plug ins japanese symbols on roads like this?

[gloomy mesa]

But no, it seems

[weak kestrel]

What's this ,your neighborhood ?

[gloomy mesa]

This is the city center, I live there

[crisp walrus]

it could be a really good addition, for some japanese themed city or something. ty for the answer though.

[gloomy mesa]

This is what he looks like

I want to draw this tram

[gloomy mesa]

It’s terrible, by the way, how narrow the streets are.

[crisp walrus]

well, yeah thinking of it. the scaling would definitely stir the thing up.

[gloomy mesa]

My dream is to draw this park

[weak kestrel]

Which park is this ?

[gloomy mesa]

This is a park in our city

Galitsky Park

[weak kestrel]

Ohh cool

[gloomy mesa]

Or Krasnodar park

[gloomy mesa]

Yes

I've been there many times

I remember walking there when it was +42° Celsius

[neat cedar]

Would someone make this? Turkish coastal residentials.

[weak kestrel]

Admiral apartment really cool buildings@gloomy mesa

[gloomy mesa]

Oooh this is a legend

[weak kestrel]

I think it's easy for you

[gloomy mesa]

Another cool residential complex is called “all our own”

[gloomy mesa]

What's easy?

Draw?

[weak kestrel]

These apartments

[weak kestrel]

It's in krasnodar

[gloomy mesa]

I know

I was there

I rode a trolleybus

[weak kestrel]

Like if you can make this insane design, admiral apartments would be easy

[gloomy mesa]

Maybe

[gloomy mesa]

I want to draw this, also Krasnodar

[weak kestrel]

But I'll suggest you admiral apartments 😁😁😁

Those are unique

[weak kestrel]

It's looks Korean type

[gloomy mesa]

Well, I’ll draw it somehow, well, now I’ll draw another residential complex, which is next to the Krasnodar residential complex

[gloomy mesa]

This is the Krasnodar residential complex if anything

That's exactly what it's called

Residential complex "Krasnodar"

[gloomy mesa]

We have a lot of them

[weak kestrel]

Can you please try that blue apartments ✨

[gloomy mesa]

LCD Hermitage

[gloomy mesa]

Well, then I’ll draw something, I’m just gaining experience for now

[weak kestrel]

That's also cool

[gloomy mesa]

I also want to draw the Aurora cinema

Soviet brutalism

[weak kestrel]

BB beautiful brutalism

[gloomy mesa]

BB - bye bye?

In Russia they say bb

[weak kestrel]

No Beautifull brutalism

[gloomy mesa]

Oh, I'm dumb

[crimson basin]

can you get back on topic now please

[gloomy mesa]

I think I want to draw

😡

[crimson basin]

good luck!

[gloomy mesa]

Yes

[weak kestrel]

What ?!

[weak kestrel]

This ?

[gloomy mesa]

Most likely, I haven’t painted Soviet buildings yet, I want to try

[crimson basin]

you guys seemed to be discussing buildings which deviates from this channels purpose- creating plugins

[gloomy mesa]

OK

[gloomy mesa]

We have similar buildings

We have an area built by Turkish developers

Enka

Called

[weak kestrel]

What those building at bottom?

[gloomy mesa]

Cooperative market

[gloomy mesa]

[weak kestrel]

This building is looks awesome

[gloomy mesa]

It's beautiful

[rain gate]

What app do you use for pixel art?

[slender briar]

Piskel

[rain gate]

Thank you 🙏

[rain gate]

You can blur?

[slender briar]

No

No transparent colors

No proper brushes or hardness

[rain gate]

Ok thank you ☺️

[terse ledge]

Is the part up is good?

Should i make it bigger?

[ripe jasper]

i think the circular structure on top needs to be a bit taller

half the size of the little pavilion on top

in civ vi they balance it quite well so

[terse ledge]

The small one or the big circle?

[ripe jasper]

make the big circle a bit taller

[orchid sorrel]

I'm not gonna lie that looks nothing like the reference image

[weak kestrel]

Simplest beauty

[thick mural]

Alexandria Lighthouse?

A Christian temple in Bilbao.

[terse ledge]

Yes but it doesn't look like it
Lol

[thick mural]

May I make some suggestions on this?

[terse ledge]

Sure

[thick mural]

I remember that the rectangular part of the lighthouse should be a square prism with a small top and a big bottom.

But obviously, it's hard to see.

In addition, the painting of this window can also be improved.

As a wonder of the world in the classical era, his window edges are not so decorated.

[thick mural]

In this picture, the texture of the black window of the bell tower on the right side should be similar.

And the top should be an octagonal prism.

[terse ledge]

Thx for the feedbacks

[slender briar]

show refference

[terse ledge]

The windows problems easy fix
But the shape is a big. Deal

[slender briar]

start with something small please, like 1x1

[rain gate]

Please 🙏 what technique do you use for make light like a pro

[slender briar]

cant answer, its a time thing, train and youll get it ,there is no secret to it

its just practice

[rain gate]

Ok 👌

[orchid sorrel]

yup you failed pretty badly here

please just do a regular house or something

[terse ledge]

MESSION FAILED

If any one wants to fix it

There you go

[orchid sorrel]

you should also consider learning color theory

[weak kestrel]

You should make this with beige colour not yellow

[terse ledge]

Any examples?
Pls

[orchid sorrel]

imagine a regular single story family house

there you are

[frigid tusk]

I thought for a moment the cropping guy

[neat cedar]

Fr me too

[neat cedar]

Will you post ur plugins on forum?

[orchid sorrel]

[terse ledge]

Soo cool

[warm patrol]

It's possible

[warm patrol]

Thank you!

[warm patrol]

It seems to be more
I saw the flag of the Russian, Germany and the USA in the chat

[orchid sorrel]

?????

[prime grove]

You can try this one

[orchid sorrel]

that doesn't look small to me

but if you feel like it

[prime grove]

I mean he can take inspiration from a small apartment

[neat cedar]

If you will do it i will be the first the download it. I downloaded alotta plugins so i cant find any different things also such as good as your ones

[terse ledge]

Every time i fail on something i go read this

[neat cedar]

Real

[neat cedar]

That is the thing that orange bugatti guy inspired and got motivated from 😭

[terse ledge]

Never failed making me laugh

[neat cedar]

Doesnt trains has an operater but not a driver?

Bro this document is at top real moments and its at first place 💀😭

[terse ledge]

Operator or Driver all same

[neat cedar]

So you say my dad operates a car every day?

Nuh uh

Nvm

[terse ledge]

In arbic yes and in Egypt train are controlled by drivers like old ones
In English no

Trains system here is chaos

[neat cedar]

Oh

Oki 👍

I never heard that ngl. Thanks for info

[neat cedar]

Cant be as bad as india tho

[terse ledge]

Naah

We have accidents every year

People start to not using them

[neat cedar]

[terse ledge]

Deadly ones

Last year more than 100 people die in a accident

[neat cedar]

Nah

Wild

[terse ledge]

Two trains crashed!!!

[neat cedar]

Dayum

[terse ledge]

Sometimes i feel Egypt is a big GTA5 lobby

[neat cedar]

Grand Train Arabic 5

Gta5

[neat cedar]

Ya do it with cropping right?

[covert root]

Yes

[neat cedar]

Not drawing urself

Oh oki

[queen kettle]

damn i’d like to see it ingame

with animation

[neat cedar]

Actually he can take a video and crop some parts of it

[covert root]

I don't have skills To do animations either

[crimson basin]

This isnt isometric even

[terse ledge]

Its crop wth did you expect

[dusty hill]

nice

[covert root]

What do you mean

[terse ledge]

The shadow is wrong where is the flag shadow
& The flag is not a rectangle

I guess

[covert root]

How I don't see anything Wring in it

[orchid sorrel]

it looks isometric to me

but the shadow isn't correct

[terse ledge]

The flag is not

[orchid sorrel]

do you have any idea what isometry is

just because it's bent doesn't mean it isn't isometric

[covert root]

Should the shadow be right firward like this

[orchid sorrel]

yes

[covert root]

Okay

[crimson basin]

Its the angle for me

[covert root]

What angle

[orchid sorrel]

😩

[covert root]

Arent flagpoles always one tall line in this game or what

[orchid sorrel]

depends what "always" is

[covert root]

The flag winds down

[orchid sorrel]

(why is the flag so enormous anyway)

[covert root]

How can anyone see ones straight tall line angle

[covert root]

There are big and small flags in the world I think

[orchid sorrel]

listening to bunny's advice is like asking a dentist about heart surgery

[slender briar]

can we ducking stop making flags

i thought this was done a long time ago

back when quinten uploaded the flag pack

[orchid sorrel]

yeah I don't see the point either??

like, what do you even learn while doing this

(I know this particular creator doesn't learn much in general considering it's all downscaled images, but whatever)

[slender briar]

atm 3 separate creators made a flag plugin in what, 2 days???

[gloomy mesa]

Just a little more finishing touches

[red lintel]

Trippy

But beautiful ❤️

[neat cedar]

I dunno why didnt anyone make this before but ima make a normal sized bump. Not a huge one XD.

[neat cedar]

U said what

[neat cedar]

Uh how you do it?

[orchid sorrel]

[crimson basin]

[neat cedar]

Eh ok ima try

[orchid sorrel]

[crimson basin]

[orchid sorrel]

[crimson basin]

[orchid sorrel]

yes???

[neat cedar]

Eh?

[crimson basin]

i wonder if hed understand

[neat cedar]

I didnt*

I mean not completely

[crimson basin]

he needs sideway circle pluc

[orchid sorrel]

ok apparently you all mean y axis circles

yeah

[neat cedar]

Yup

oh wait why dont i make a diagonal signs pack too

Man it gotta be crazy

[crimson basin]

no i said i only know how to draw flat circles, so the one you were explaining

[keen helm]

I wanted to post the update today but I have had a few issues

[neat cedar]

Yep

[keen helm]

Can't guarantee the prop expansion plugin update will come this week, my grandfather died today and we are planning the burial ceremony...

[neat cedar]

I'm sorry for ur loss..

[midnight obsidian]

my condolences

[keen helm]

Thanks, it's not easy but we are the whole family here for my grandmother, so that she isn't alone

[crimson basin]

thats very nice of yall, im sorry to hear about your loss max, always remember all your good memories with him :)

the community can wait, dont stress about it at all

[terse ledge]

I can help if you want
I have been through thing like this

[frigid tusk]

Toutes mes condoléances my friend

[keen helm]

Oh I have been through that already, fortunately I got my friends, family and so on to help me go through that 🙂

[terse ledge]

I lost my mom i know how u are mad

I have been like you

Well i sorry if i bothered you

[keen helm]

No it's alright, that's very kind of you to offer help, don't worry

I hope things are going fine for you !

[neat cedar]

Looks like I gotta keep working on the Advanced Road Decorations plugin because I have a life rn and its 00:27 a.m. lol. Hashir and Dual got the files for it but it needs to be fixed that is what I was working on. I fixed a little part of it and the reamining comes tomorrow ig.

[slender briar]

just eye ikt

yall need a sense of perspective, most of the time if done right the normal eye doesnt even notice perspective issues, as long as its draw properly, take for example the thatcher effect, is wrong, looks right

look at real life untill every tree looks pixelated

or do what i did and draw pixel art for so long that you have a pixel art grid burned into your eye

and TIP for the new artists, stick to normal square shaped buildings first and slowly start doing complicated angles

its how i learned it

[midnight obsidian]

Complicated angles is the new thing

It's very cool all of a sudden

So everyone kind of naturally wants to jump on that bandwagon

[slender briar]

good lord ok but learn it first

i didnt draw any angles for the first 2 years mostly

stuff takes time

[midnight obsidian]

Unfortunately trends don't really help for the newbies

[slender briar]

yeah and people have to really learn the artform of pixel art, instead of just theotown drawing

theotown work with a bit of pixel art knowledge is more worth than gold

ill smoke a cig and then start a new big project

[midnight obsidian]

Yeah i'd say that even knowing simple color theory helps a bunch

[slender briar]

tip ,the lil brother of the cologne cathedral

[midnight obsidian]

A bunch is probably an understatement

[slender briar]

oh good lord the color theory and i cant stress this enough, C o n t r a s t, bring you from mediocre to huge

[midnight obsidian]

Contrast is incredibly important

Makes your buildings not look dull

What i've been seeing a lot in this channel (apart from those flag plugins... gosh, knock yourself out, they're out of fashion already) lately is a terrible lack of contrast

[slender briar]

allow me to regurgitate

yes ive seen it too

its like the old days again

just

new

back then when quinten took my first flag preset and just made most country flags out of it and uploaded

i kinda regret not uploading it myself but ngl,i have quality standards

it was this exact almost 1:1 flag template i made back in 2019

looked trough old pics, damn i went nuts with the citadel

[neat cedar]

Thank you my friend

[keen helm]

Anyway, I did have the ability the finish the last prop set

[slender briar]

AAAH

so nIIICE

i love it man

[keen helm]

It'll be released when possible

[ripe jasper]

awesome, whats the red statue tho?

haven't seen that before

[zealous glen]

I Need some comments from experts huhuhuhu

[eager oriole]

I'm not an expert but it looks cool

[glacial galleon]

God

[eager oriole]

Epic

[glacial galleon]

trying something

[eager oriole]

hmmm. put some shades or something in the lights

i don't know how is it called

i forgot it

[glacial galleon]

I wanted to make them like this with that tone. If I messed up in the game, I would modify it to make it brighter.

[eager oriole]

Well. Looks cool

I made the Big one like with less effort. I was tired of doing the Windows. lol

[weak kestrel]

Wooh insane what's this cyberpunk ?

[eager oriole]

Well. It's supposed to be like modern but from other planet

[weak kestrel]

Will you make other side also ?

[eager oriole]

Yes i can but i don't know how to make the light animation for more sides

I need to learn how to do that

But for now no 😦

[weak kestrel]

I mean opposite side not side' sides 😄

[eager oriole]

Ooooh i undestand. i think yes

but later :/

[weak kestrel]

@eager oriole bro like this

[eager oriole]

Uh, it looks cool

Like, from the front of the building?

[weak kestrel]

Yeah

[crimson basin]

He wants you to flip the building and fix the shadows

[weak kestrel]

U got it

[eager oriole]

I Guess i'll do it

ok

🙂

[neat cedar]

solid W

first variation is done

[weak kestrel]

What's this ?? Road Decos?

[neat cedar]

yea

[weak kestrel]

Hmm

[neat cedar]

The triangle signs are done. They are for left handed roads and also there are signs for one lane roads. I added both the behind and front of the signs.

I will add diagonal ones later

but my job is done for now

[orchid sorrel]

...aren't yield signs supposed to be upside down triangles?

[neat cedar]

o

.

I said yield

eh

mb lol

[orchid sorrel]

unless that's just a generic warning sign

[neat cedar]

My dumbpeach said yield

[dusty hill]

aw man

how it is possible that TCPS has more plugins and less downloads than katori

[midnight obsidian]

how does sergio have more than 3 times more plugins than katori but has 3 times less downloads

hopefully that answers your question

[crimson basin]

youll be shocked to see the real quality of tcps team

but i think it could be because katoris buildings have actually useful influences

[neat cedar]

I also dont see sergio making a plugin anymore. He kinda became an old

Also his texturing isnt enogh for today's plugin store policys ig

[midnight obsidian]

plugin factories dont always earn many downloads

in case of sergio he kept pumping and pumping mediocre plugins until we added some extra measures

[thick mural]

The tower is finished.

[zealous glen]

Many players would download that, teens love beautiful buildings

[rigid basalt]

Cathedral?

[summer kestrel]

He used to add just a single bus as a full plugin

[fervent turret]

Does a plugin exist that adds new Desasters etc?

[fading saddle]

Nature Pack

But the disasters are kinda bad

[thick mural]

Sanctuary

[eager oriole]

yes. Finally

1 hour of making the Windows and the rest of the building

but most of the time was the windows

[upper gate]

Plugin name please

[eager oriole]

That's a pack. or not?

[rich birch]

Wow
They're so futuristic
I like it

[eager oriole]

thanks

[queen kettle]

dayum

[weak kestrel]

This is maybe available in forum

[eager oriole]

i did it 😄

[weak kestrel]

For small one ??

[eager oriole]

for the Big one

[weak kestrel]

Have you planned it's opposite side also ?

For small one

[queen kettle]

You are going to upload it to store/forum?

[eager oriole]

actually, i wasn't supposed to do a front side of them cuz that was the original plan. Not to make it but i like it

[eager oriole]

yes but i have no name

[weak kestrel]

Cyberpunk buildings pack ??

[queen kettle]

You made them without referance? Damn

[eager oriole]

Yes. Without referance

[weak kestrel]

Or maybe just Futuristic buildings

[queen kettle]

Futuristic Twin Towers?

[eager oriole]

Hmmm. A name like something that's like a spike

[eager oriole]

lol

[queen kettle]

Thorn Towers

[urban grove]

Kekman is a plugin creator. He makes very good plugins

[eager oriole]

[urban grove]

Star?

[neat cedar]

he meant award maybe

[eager oriole]

Wait wait let me chek

i mean the heart

The heart in the name

[urban grove]

The heart indicates it's a certified plugin creators (i think) basically means they make good plugins.

[eager oriole]

yes. I talk about that

[urban grove]

Kekman. The person who made the Cologne Cathedral, you know that right? That's him, he made it

[eager oriole]

hmmm. I didn't see that plugin

it appears in the start of the plugin store or the forum?

[urban grove]

Well you should probably check it out. He also made other plugins like the Citadel from Half Life

[neat cedar]

[glacial galleon]

[glacial galleon]

I can help you by doing night entertainment if you want

[weak kestrel]

[hoary night]

[gusty ocean]

After learning how to make a plugin, I can't wait to start my projects

[crimson basin]

[foggy schooner]

Does someone know the color of the barracks and hq?

If so, I need it

[orchid sorrel]

just take a screenshot?

and pick from it

[foggy schooner]

Won't that make the color a little lighter or darker?

[orchid sorrel]

why would it?

[foggy schooner]

Then don't if you don't want to.

[orchid sorrel]

????

[foggy schooner]

Wait I misunderstood the thingy

My phone does it like alot

[uncut acorn]

Yayy new 2024 bridge plugin is coming

[uncut acorn]

Cool

[urban grove]

Beautiful! Is it a church or a cathedral?

[midnight obsidian]

i can spot at least two potential copyright violations

[uncut acorn]

Cool

[foggy schooner]

Ehur it looks weird

First time

[crimson basin]

would look nice after shading and highlights

[foggy schooner]

What should I add thoo

It looks too plain

[crimson basin]

shading/highlights is basically just shadows and light spots, im not exactly sure how theyd look here exactly but its what you need

[terse ledge]

The color is bad any ideas

[midnight obsidian]

refer to this guide

[terse ledge]

I think i should remove the balcony on the right and put some windows instead

[orchid sorrel]

you should really learn color theory

[terse ledge]

You know what i will stop

I have college soon

Dont worry

[orchid sorrel]

???

well that's your choice

[thick mural]

Sanctuary

It's located here in Bilbao.

[carmine mulch]

Hi !

I am French

[orchid sorrel]

uhhh that's even more obviously resized than before

[covert root]

What

Does that look bad too? Like?!?

IMO no

Looks normal to me

[orchid sorrel]

maybe to you it looks fine

[covert root]

And to you extremely bad

Weird

[orchid sorrel]

but to any other plugin creator it will always appear as obviously cropped image from the internet

that's just not how theotown's style is

[covert root]

Howwwww

[orchid sorrel]

and that's not how plugin creation is done

"how" you're supposed to actually draw the frames

[covert root]

I don't care but this is easy

[orchid sorrel]

you do you

it's up to you whether you prefer quality or quantity

[covert root]

Yeah but always you complain when I send something here

[orchid sorrel]

yeah because that's how criticism works

and I'm always going to complain if a plugin is merely a downsized image

[covert root]

Both looks pretty normal for theotown

[orchid sorrel]

if you feel that way

sure

[covert root]

How you don't

[orchid sorrel]

by being experienced in that area.....

[covert root]

Aha

[dusty hill]

ehh, another plugins which are unedited downscales...

[frigid tusk]

To me too

Cropping is not plugin making

[covert root]

Why

I dont care is it plugin making but it is plugin anyways In the game

[frigid tusk]

For you

[covert root]

Phh

[orchid sorrel]

some people just never learn lol

we can't make you do proper art, but if it gives you satisfaction then go ahead

aand keep in mind that it ain't going on the plugin store

[frigid tusk]

And at least, try drawing something...

[covert root]

Yes I don't care is it going there or not but it's still PIXELATED building so

[brave raven]

someones hard headed ey

[orchid sorrel]

everything in the game is pixelated, you can't have a non-pixelated building lol

((theoretically™️))

[covert root]

Yeah how isn't plugin

[orchid sorrel]

????

[frigid tusk]

So I can turn this into a plugin, as it's PIXELATED

[covert root]

Not because it isn't from right angle

My are at least close

[frigid tusk]

But not enough

[covert root]

Ok but close

It still fits in my opinion

[orchid sorrel]

in your opinion

but you can clearly see what others think

and it's up to you whether to do something about it or not

I shall not stop you

[frigid tusk]

But "You shall not pass"

I leave this here

[simple slate]

The worst city to live next to Barakaldo. The only good thing is some churros.

[crimson basin]

well

theretically speaking

everything is made up of pixels

its just they have a lot of pixels that it doesnt have that same pixelated effect

my usual drawings are typically made on a 2000 by 2000 pixels "canvas"

plugins are miniature drawings

[dusty hill]

reworking the older variant of polish Railway Platforms

referenced image

and this is how it looked previously

[uncut acorn]

Should’ve remake it instead of resizing it to have better textures

[paper river]

Nice

[zealous glen]

Lobby's cars are cool, deserve a credits

[ripe jasper]

woah

looks like a shopping center you'd see in east asia ngl

[uncut acorn]

Insane.

[dusty hill]

reworked the loading platform

[midnight obsidian]

whats this

[dusty hill]

loading ramp

[orchid sorrel]

looks like a random dust texture from gregtech slapped on your regular 1x1 template

[dusty hill]

it was supposed to be gravel

[orchid sorrel]

white gravel?

[livid agate]

dont diss me silver like that

[weak kestrel]

Osaka city hall 💥

[midnight obsidian]

make it noisier

while retaining that gradient

[dusty hill]

also did the same with sand

[crimson basin]

Big pile of gravel/sand?

[dusty hill]

the first one is gravel and 2nd is sand

[midnight obsidian]

thats better

you could add some smaller piles around too

[dusty hill]

?

[orchid sorrel]

maybe you should take a look at ci's sand icon to understand how mound lighting works lol

[urban grove]

@ivory thicket you mean Arabic letters like the ones in the game? #plugin-suggestions message

[ivory thicket]

thx

Yes

[urban grove]

Uh you're welcome? Why are you thanking me lol

[ivory thicket]

No not you

[orchid sorrel]

it's not a plugin suggestion, therefore I've taken the effort to yeet it

[ivory thicket]

But yes I need Arabic language should be available in the game I am having difficulties understanding all the words in the game I am currently translating

[urban grove]

But isn't there already an arabic language in the game? I forgot. Well if you wanna contribute in translating stuff then go to #translations

[ivory thicket]

No there is not

You can see the comments of Arabs in the play store, they all ask for Arabic language

A big game like Theotown Arabic language must be added to it

[urban grove]

Go to #translations and start translating the game into Arabic. If you need any help just ask it in there

[static pollen]

It looks really cool, keep doing plugins like that 🫶

[dusty hill]

it's still part of one plugin

[dusty hill]

trying to do smth from Warsaw Metro

[terse ledge]

هي ١/٣ خلصانه لو تعرف تخلصا علشان انا للأسف مش فاضي هو كان المفروض تخلص قريب

But i have college so you can do it by yourself and if you need any help dm me and i will teach you how to do it

If you want

[dusty hill]

is it good?

[urban grove]

Is this an underground metro entrance? What is this?

[hoary night]

Fifty-Fifty

[urban grove]

It's not bad, could be alot worse.

[dreamy hearth]

Looks alright but the stairs feel off somehow

Maybe increase the contrast between each step

[dusty hill]

im not well experienced with the stairs...

[dreamy hearth]

It looks alright already but it's just the contrast that's a bit off

[echo lotus]

nice, what building is this?

[zealous glen]

I uploaded this in the store, waiting for the approval

[dusty hill]

now?

[zealous glen]

I just made it, it's my first time. Gotta inspired by crysopon

[zealous glen]

Crysopon s building is on the rightmost

[signal lagoon]

hmm, why my screen duplicated?

[midnight obsidian]

wtf

openttd viewports

[dreamy hearth]

Yeah looks better

[weak kestrel]

You should try tram station or stop like this , Cylindrical galss structure

[ivory thicket]

مافهمتك

[neat cedar]

we're here

[neat cedar]

🫡

[dusty hill]

hmm

[midnight obsidian]

make that inside much darker

[orchid sorrel]

this still has absolutely 0 contrast

[orchid sorrel]

3 images in a row with the tiniest differences ever seen

[chilly mango]

try using #plugin-suggestions for once

[weak kestrel]

Ohkay but it's too long time 🥲 like after 1 hour

[chilly mango]

its meant for plugin creators that want suggestions

so they dont get bothered with them outside of it

[dusty hill]

well

it's rare that someone really makes the plugin from #plugin-suggestions

trying to do the elevator for metro

inspiration

[midnight obsidian]

not a valid excuse for not posting in #plugin-suggestions

[dusty hill]

well

i posted some suggestions, none were made

hmm

looks kinda weird ngl

[rain gate]

@dusty hill

[dusty hill]

Hi me French

Vous connaissez sûrement les Français ?

[orchid sorrel]

please use #language-bar for other languages

[carmine mulch]

Okay sorry but I'm French 😦

[orchid sorrel]

ok?

this channel is some real new member energy lately

[carmine mulch]

I have a question ?

Where to create my plugin?

[orchid sorrel]

what do you mean "where"

[stoic echo]

ptag plugin creation

[orchid sorrel]

skill issue

Ptag plugin 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

[stoic echo]

lol

[orchid sorrel]

forgot bunny added this a while ago

[stoic echo]

its pretty useful

[carmine mulch]

Ok thank you but on which editor should I create my plugin?

[stoic echo]

are you gonna make plugins on pc or on mobile

[carmine mulch]

Mobile

Samsung

[stoic echo]

download the pixly apk

[orchid sorrel]

mobile plugin creation

bane of my existence

[carmine mulch]

The problem is that Pixly is paid 😦

[orchid sorrel]

it isnt???

[carmine mulch]

Otherwise I found an application!

Pixelc

I downloaded 3 apps and will test them all

[crimson basin]

since when lmao

[frigid tusk]

Ohhh yeaaaah can't wait

[crimson basin]

i dont remember any part of that app being paid

[carmine mulch]

I found another application but thank you for your part 🙂

[frigid tusk]

Pixly payabl? No way it's not

[crimson basin]

Sure as long as it works, has layers, transparency and can save as a png

[orchid sorrel]

well layers aren't a must

(but not having them is instant brain damage)

[crimson basin]

Any one who doesnt use layers will be thrown in the fire pit

[frigid tusk]

You sure?

Because I haven't used layers until Pixel Studio

So 3/4 of my plugin making

[orchid sorrel]

as I said

instant brain damage

[crimson basin]

i will throw you in a fire pit xina

[orchid sorrel]

if I had to do any art without layers I'd jump into the abyss

[frigid tusk]

[trim blade]

Looking at the difference between the mods for OpenTTD compared to theotown plugins is interesting

Very different styles

Iirc the 8bb grfs for OTTD limit the color palette to 256 colors, which theotown doesn't need to worry about.

[crimson basin]

i think tt has some buildings really similar to open ttd

[eager oriole]

I just added two 2x2 houses

I was busy, thats why i made two instead of a lot

[crimson basin]

he sure has a long nose

[eager oriole]

ah?

[neat cedar]

U fr waiting for that plugin?

Solid w for me

I thought only shakik were waitin for that plugin 😭

[rich birch]

Lol
Cute :3

[frigid tusk]

For some reasons, my fav type of plugins is road deco

[neat cedar]

Obviously better roads makes the city seem better

And its fun to create detailed and realistic roads with a lot of road decorations

[terse ledge]

bro he just asked so i answared not a big deal

[upper gate]

Thanks

[dusty hill]

this looks kinda weird
