[crimson basin]

i dont getchu

[crimson basin]

@paper river
why are all your frames 2-4 messed up

better yet, why do you have frames 2-4?

[eager oriole]

You approve plugins?

[crimson basin]

i could

[eager oriole]

what do you mean with i could?

[rain gate]

i still will never forgive bunny for disapproving my french school

[midnight obsidian]

yea how dare bunny do her job

[crimson basin]

simply means i dont have to do plugin approvals if i dont feel like it

[eager oriole]

i see

[crimson basin]

or if im busy

why do you think sometimes it takes so long ~

[lavish sail]

do someone have fighter jet frames

[crimson basin]

theres like 5 active mods

[summer kestrel]

What's the process of accepting plugins?

[eager oriole]

well. Everyone have lives so of course the mods do their stuffs

[frigid tusk]

Wasn't enough french

[eager oriole]

cuz my real first plugin took like more than one week to be approved. And i did another plugin and it get dissaproved after another week

[crimson basin]

basically checking everything

[midnight obsidian]

yea just so you know plugin mods are volunteers

[crimson basin]

i can tell you how to get disapproved in a day

upload something which is visually bad

[eager oriole]

:0 how

[rain gate]

If you wanna know how to get a plugin disapproved Ill be more then happy to help

[lavish sail]

If your plugin gets rejected 5 times and the moderator is fed up with it, rest assured he will check it quickly

[crimson basin]

oh yeah

[livid agate]

very easy way to get your plugin approved: include ganyu

[midnight obsidian]

rest assured we won't have to check your plugin anymore

[crimson basin]

eggo here tried to upload something with a rificulous diamond price

[paper river]

How to make it only have 1 frame? I dont want to make rotation

[midnight obsidian]

or any of your plugins, really

[crimson basin]

whats the upper limit on the diamond price

[lavish sail]

.txt file with that name welcomed?

[rain gate]

atleast the quality was top notch

[midnight obsidian]

yes add a readme to your plugin

[livid agate]

1k

[midnight obsidian]

and then encrypt it anyways

[livid agate]

no

[lavish sail]

😭

whats plugin categories gets dissaproved?

like forbidden

war ot smth

[midnight obsidian]

uhh

anything thats against the rules

[crimson basin]

whats the most expensive plugin on the store rn? do you know? lol

[livid agate]

DSA

[eager oriole]

thats obvius

[midnight obsidian]

copyrighted stuff for example

[lavish sail]

categories

not types

[crimson basin]

hey thats game integration, on the plugin store :<

[lavish sail]

i mean like war stuff

etc

[midnight obsidian]

war stuff can get accepted

why shouldn't it

[lavish sail]

i know

[frigid tusk]

If I make a ganyu statue what do I get?

[livid agate]

yeah

[lavish sail]

what if it violating Geneva Convention

[midnight obsidian]

i mean are there really any categories of plugins not accepted?

[livid agate]

an approval

[crimson basin]

lmao

[livid agate]

if its not just cropped image

[eager oriole]

Bunny. How much plugins you approved?

[midnight obsidian]

what do you mean

[lavish sail]

toxic gas

[crimson basin]

doesnt count, i cant see

[midnight obsidian]

if they use the red cross / crescent then we have to disapprove it

[lavish sail]

or worse

red cross

💀

[livid agate]

exactly

[crimson basin]

thats not stats that are tracked

[eager oriole]

:0

[lavish sail]

how bout

[midnight obsidian]

i'm pretty sure you're not gonna depict toxic gases

[lavish sail]

biological weapon

[midnight obsidian]

i mean, other games have that

[lavish sail]

napalm

wait

wait

[midnight obsidian]

it's a violation if it's in real life, not in a game... no?

[lavish sail]

i really can make napalm

[lavish sail]

red cross

now i wanna make napalm

[midnight obsidian]

the convention specifically mentions that the red cross cannot be used in video games and artwork etc

[crimson basin]

oh right, because compositions are rotation aware by default 💀

[lavish sail]

and commetrial things

[midnight obsidian]

yes

[lavish sail]

but free medical help approved

[midnight obsidian]

look i don't want to say anything

but having toxic gases or napalm in a game definitely does not hurt anyone and i'm assured that it's not prohibited by the convention

[lavish sail]

hmm

should i really do it

at least

try to

i think so

[midnight obsidian]

if you want to do it then go ahead

[lavish sail]

TheoTown Helldivers DLC

[eager oriole]

Guys. I just found my first plugin

it looks weird

[midnight obsidian]

sure does

it doesnt really make sense

thats why it looks weird probably

[lavish sail]

I hate my first plugin for one small detail

and im too lazy to fix it

no shadow on the wall

[eager oriole]

Now in game

[eager oriole]

the Windows looks..... Strange

[midnight obsidian]

yeah the structure looks like it could collapse

[lavish sail]

why?

this is my style

[midnight obsidian]

i'd change the window color a bit

[eager oriole]

i mean. The Windows are good but for me the position of the Windows looks strange

[lavish sail]

mine plugins, those windows everywhere

[lavish sail]

first plugin

at least zero experience

[eager oriole]

oooh. I undestand now. You mean the shadow?

[lavish sail]

yep

[dusty hill]

that was my first building

[midnight obsidian]

might as well show my first plugin then

[dusty hill]

and also it was a time where i hadn't any experience

[lavish sail]

uh

ya know

mine isnt the worst

[eager oriole]

Me too

[strong prism]

General view of my residential pack :p

[midnight obsidian]

that was back in 2018

[strong prism]

Work in progress

[dusty hill]

failed attempt to do Dudziarska buildings

[midnight obsidian]

6 years ago, that's a long time

[eager oriole]

💀

[midnight obsidian]

dude that's just some lines

[rain gate]

literally a few black lines lol

[eager oriole]

lol

[dusty hill]

another fail but with Polin...

[midnight obsidian]

look i don't want to say anything

[summer kestrel]

Man, we can see how much hard effort was wasted in such a marvellous building

[midnight obsidian]

but i wouldnt even bother posting it if it's just some lines or whatever that is

[dusty hill]

well

[lavish sail]

so

can i ask again

[dusty hill]

that was the time where i didn't had any experience

[lavish sail]

does someone have fighter jet sprite

[summer kestrel]

Ask what?

[dusty hill]

so i couldn't make any good building

[summer kestrel]

Oh

[summer kestrel]

No, like why did you give up when you had only drawn a few lines?

[dusty hill]

2nd thing i ever done (it's just ugly antenna)

[eager oriole]

You play with smooth grafics?

[dusty hill]

and this even dumb ah resprite

[midnight obsidian]

that's an image from 2018

[eager oriole]

oh

2018?

[midnight obsidian]

yep

i'm old

[eager oriole]

i discovered the game like in 2019 almost 2020. Or thats what i remember

[dusty hill]

oh man, i see how the Pasym Signal box changed from this

[lavish sail]

six years old?

[midnight obsidian]

yeah and i discovered theotown in like 2016 or 2017, i can't remember

in any case this is probably my biggest fail

not that it's bad or anything but the scale is off

[dusty hill]

to this...

[midnight obsidian]

should've been much bigger

[summer kestrel]

Me too, but I then left in 2018 or something

And then I had to delete and re-install TT recently because it was just way too big

[dusty hill]

well

[eager oriole]

I remember when i discovered the game and then i tryed the sandbox mode. It was my vice cuz i like to make my own cities

and now a days. I still with no knowledge of how to make a good roads like in vids of youtube

lol

[eager oriole]

What do you mean with the scale is off?

[idle path]

i found this game in an ad.
and i started to play it in 2023.

but now when i wanna get a free plugin, my brain will automatically pop up an ad for the kiss of the war.

[eager oriole]

what 💀

[glacial galleon]

Alvear tower

[eager oriole]

Uh. It looks great

[eager oriole]

i like how big they are

[eager oriole]

They have night animation?

[strong prism]

Ese y otros tantos mas

[strong prism]

Yess

[fickle frigate]

beautiful building, i like this style. it would be great in 4x4 or 5x5 size

[fickle frigate]

me around 2015. next year will be my 10th anniversary playing Theotown :))

[eager oriole]

awesome

[weak kestrel]

This too good not fail

[strong prism]

The one on the bottom corner is new, I haven't made the json file yet, the one in the middle I added the exact number of floors it has in real life and I have to edit its json

[eager oriole]

i see

It's nice

[eager oriole]

You did an extra light in the roof of the middle building

[neat cedar]

These windows are huge ngl

it also makes floors very tall

[carmine hemlock]

Korean buildings have huge windows

[ripe jasper]

ive seen from k-drama

[midnight obsidian]

It's too small

[midnight obsidian]

Yeah it is "4x4" but as you can see it's closer to a 2x2

[midnight obsidian]

No, it's too small

[gusty ocean]

Is it good?

[orchid sorrel]

looks alright I guess?

[ripe jasper]

i agree, some parts look a little too bright, like the yellow wall

the roof improved alot

[fickle frigate]

nice

looks so cute

[queen marsh]

Please, give me platform to create plugin 1x1 plssss

[ember patio]

Hey lukas, Is there any progress with that building?

[thorny arrow]

WIP

[dim thorn]

Citi?

[lavish sail]

airstrike

[neat cedar]

War rpers will be happy with that

[lavish sail]

theres still a lot of work to do, idk whether or not it's worth finishing it and putting it up

[neat cedar]

the missile could game at the same time with jet

For example

[lavish sail]

oh yes, self-destructive bomber

[orchid sorrel]

that nuke is a bit excessive isn't it lol

[lavish sail]

why not?)

I can try to make napalm if I want, though I don't know if that's possible

[unique kindle]

I started playing TT last year (2023)

[thorny arrow]

Yep CITI BANK 🤑

[marble wedge]

Hey frnds.....would u like to tell me how much is the population of ur cities in theotown?

My honest reaction (nuclear reaction):

[rain gate]

I have one working air strike in my server if you wanna check 😉

[near flame]

how did you even do that

[rain gate]

Release when!!!!

[obsidian needle]

how did ya do this cool thing

[rain gate]

I made mine but yours looks amazing

And have a lot of military aircraft if you want use it

[obsidian needle]

ngl you should try making a silo

would be nice to hide missiles from enemy spyplanes

[ember patio]

Interesting, can i have that plugin?

[thorny arrow]

WIP

Today's work is done

[lavish sail]

WIP

[lavish sail]

can someone help

how do i add sound to the json

nvm

i found

[rain gate]

You use LUA or json in the air strike?

[lavish sail]

i already found a topic by lobby about sounds

but theres a problem

[rain gate]

What?

I mean the airstrike

[lavish sail]

Lua

ok i fixed it

[rain gate]

You have more plans to make something like this this in the future more cool military stuff

[lavish sail]

maybe

i should at least finish this first

[rain gate]

Can you help me with lua to do something like that please 🙏

[lavish sail]

oh bud i dont think you really want to see this code

[rain gate]

Maybe yes 😅

[lavish sail]

at least it's not if-else!

Maybe you can help me with sprites?

sprites of explosion

of napalm

🔥

[rain gate]

Ok 👌

[lavish sail]

DMs?

[rain gate]

Yes

[hardy anvil]

Remake of old version

Remake by: me & @rose grotto

[ember patio]

Speaking of airstrike, have you thought about how to counter it?
Like an anti air rocket or AA gun?

[lavish sail]

im remaking it to napalm rn

air-to-ground :3

[eager oriole]

awesome

[simple slate]

What application do you recommend for making plugins?

[crimson basin]

copyright (nike)

[hardy anvil]

Will Adidas and Puma also be included in copyright?

[crimson basin]

yes

but should be fine if its private use

it looks really nice by the way

i love it

[hardy anvil]

Ah okay

[hardy anvil]

Thanks

[eager oriole]

How i can do it? Some official buildings have it but i don't know how to do it

like. The house has night animation but how i can make another night animation for more than one frame in a building?

like. this animation for this frame and this animation for this another frame

there is any tutorial?

or it needs lua

[crimson basin]

its night animations

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

[crimson basin]

press the getting started one

its part of tsep 3

written by kulche i think

[lavish sail]

Napaaaaaalm!🇺🇲 🦅

[eager oriole]

thanks

[eager oriole]

this one?

[crimson basin]

the one below it clearly named night animations

[midnight obsidian]

I think you use "frame": x when defining the night animation

When using, sorry

...
"animation": [{"id": "$1x1l", "x": x, "y": y, "frame": x}]

Something like that i think

[eager oriole]

let me try it

[eager oriole]

it functions!

thanks

for the code

[eager oriole]

my test lol

[rain gate]

What's that?

[eager oriole]

just a building that i made for test light animations in more than one frame

[obsidian needle]

egghouses

so cute

[zealous glen]

I made the cars and audience

Animated

Animated audience yey

[rich birch]

Cool

[fickle frigate]

looks really cute, but i think you could reduce the saturation a bit

[sleek thistle]

What's this? Looks nice

[fickle frigate]

nice xừ

[zealous glen]

10 color variations,
Each color has two speed variants,e.g. yellow car speed 2.9 and 5..
So every car has a chance to overrun other color variants.

[zealous glen]

I can tell that this building is weathered and rusted. 👍🏻 Great

[gusty ocean]

Ow i forgot that, thanks

[thorny arrow]

cool design

[zealous glen]

this building is really high compared to 3 pixel humans

[near flame]

looks futuristic lol

[fickle frigate]

and make the white line on the roof darker

[neat cedar]

its good now

Just make that red part a bit darker

[zealous glen]

They have diagonals too

My hospital

[gusty ocean]

Done thanks

[lyric trellis]

hello everyone I am totally new new here hehe what's up I really like space so as a little challenge for myself i am gonna attempt for myself i will try making my first plug in, doen's look that complicated, I thought of a moon base, i did some test graphics using ms Paint because i am insane ig

[orchid sorrel]

ms paint ain't gonna work because it doesn't support transparency

[lyric trellis]

oh I know I have actuall drawing programs but i like to make things harder for me for no reasson ._.

here

is it even visible... well it is what it is

[orchid sorrel]

it looks... interesting

[lyric trellis]

i wanted to do a sort of roleplaying using a world which biome is snow so I pretend the snow is moon dust, I am only having problem thing in market what the heck does one sell one da moon

[orchid sorrel]

why would you pretend to be on the moon when in the game you can literally go to the moon

[lyric trellis]

wait really lol?

i dont even know if you are joking I am really noobie at the game even tho i know it for a while

[orchid sorrel]

try dsa

[lyric trellis]

mmm wait brb

omg is the DSA CEO hatsune miku talking to me??? lol

i had this plugin for so long and i never touched it

[orchid sorrel]

it isn't a plugin lol

not anymore

[lyric trellis]

oh so what is it? i have a plugin called dsa, might be something else then

[crimson basin]

Its a game integration

[lyric trellis]

oooh

so... like a plugin but juiced up?

[crimson basin]

Basically something that started as a plugin but is integrated into the game so its part of the base game

[lyric trellis]

oh thats pretty cool

[dusty hill]

i should start doing any station building or signal box

[fickle frigate]

great

but i wonder if that big wall is dangerous when the rocket launches :v

[lyric trellis]

We are hoping it is very dangerous, we need that KSP spirit at the moon base 😈

If my base isn't exploding then my base ain't basing right

[lavish sail]

whats this? Looks like nice underground base/facility

[lavish sail]

i have a plugin script problem, but #plugin-lua-and-fun seems dead. Script worked fine with #LuaWrapper, but as i removed it, some functions stopped to work. Can someone help?

[crimson basin]

brother

[orchid sorrel]

just because you didn't get an anaswer in 20 minutes doesn't mean it's dead

lmao

[crimson basin]

its not like more than 3 people know lua

well understatement but yeah

you arent getting any better support here

[lavish sail]

for the last days i talked only with erksmit 😭 it seems so

[crimson basin]

also i thought you needed lua wrapper for lua to work

[crimson basin]

erk, kulche, ian, jeremiah, hadestia, ja and arturo. I think thats literally everyone who knows lua

[lavish sail]

even with "dev":false it dead

it strange to me

[midnight obsidian]

jeremiah mentioned

[crimson basin]

use real time lua and make your game crash 🥰

[crimson basin]

can you lua

[midnight obsidian]

i can c++

[crimson basin]

can you fun

[lavish sail]

"i can c++"

[crimson basin]

if only c++ was useful lol

[midnight obsidian]

blocked

[crimson basin]

can you fun kulche

[midnight obsidian]

look

my only experience with lua

is the piss plugin

[lavish sail]

piss plugin?

[crimson basin]

which

[orchid sorrel]

I wouldn't trust someone with 0 computer science knowledge

[crimson basin]

good for rtobby not for me

[orchid sorrel]

fun is for when you want to get brain damage at a cheap price

[crimson basin]

you know

i have a great idea

[orchid sorrel]

no

[crimson basin]

you didnt even hear it

[orchid sorrel]

I do not wish to

[midnight obsidian]

whatever this was

[crimson basin]

oh so you were the one doing that one

[orchid sorrel]

lol

[crimson basin]

i remember you doing that

[lavish sail]

piss stream 😭

[crimson basin]

but i didnt know you back then

piss goo

[lavish sail]

millions years of evolution for this

[crimson basin]

it was around when i just became a mod

whatever happened to the plugin rtob

[midnight obsidian]

luawrapper expectations were too high

kept saying it was expecting int but got nil

[crimson basin]

lmaoo

rtobby

im working on a plugin using lua

🙂

[midnight obsidian]

good luck bunny

[lavish sail]

thats like my second script, and it second time when LuaWrapper broke it

[crimson basin]

I havent gotten enough progree for it to work

[midnight obsidian]

do you have at least some prior coding knowledge

outside of json

[crimson basin]

what does lua wrapper even do

[midnight obsidian]

because json isn't coding

[lavish sail]

real-time scripting

[crimson basin]

i only put in a lua wrapper cause arturo told me

[lavish sail]

you dont need to close the game to reload script

and it useful

[crimson basin]

me?

[midnight obsidian]

so 0 prior coding knowledge

[lavish sail]

but why it breaking my scripts

[midnight obsidian]

as i like to say

https://tenor.com/view/krill-issue-skill-issue-krill-issue-gif-25572478

[lavish sail]

https://tenor.com/view/reverse-card-uno-uno-cards-gif-13032597

i refuse

[crimson basin]

i mean i kinda do

[midnight obsidian]

from where

[crimson basin]

school?

[midnight obsidian]

neat

[crimson basin]

but its not any of the languages that i know of lol

it was fill in the blanks coding and conditional coding to make stuff work

[midnight obsidian]

oh

[crimson basin]

i had fun using unconventional methods to solve the puzzles

[midnight obsidian]

was it like scratch or something

[crimson basin]

aka funny loops

[crimson basin]

no idea, it was back in grade 8

[midnight obsidian]

okay

[crimson basin]

ive been trying to figure out what stuff im supposed to be replacing lol

also

getting two of my buildings done for the code

[lavish sail]

you know

i think that good that luawrapper went broken

i legally can to go rest while erksmith or someone who can help appear

or not appear

[zealous glen]

Hello, can someone show me a sample of horizontal traffic light format if free? I wanted to make a proper starting line, I tried to study choggoba's traffic lights, but I think not all attributes were distributed.

[crimson basin]

i heard a jeremiah is proficient at lua

[crimson basin]

what exactly is the matter

[zealous glen]

About traffic lights, those horizontals only, not intersection traffic lights.
I wanted to draw a starting line, where my cars would stop and proceed during green lights. This will make my car racing more interactive

[crimson basin]

well youre in the plugin channel

whats stopping you from making your own

[zealous glen]

I'm trying to be knowledgeable enough. I'm working on possibilities. If my knowledge is enough. I could produce a masterpiece. Surely worth it

[zealous glen]

I mean I want to create a plugin

[crimson basin]

looking at the traffic light, doesnt look too hard

[midnight obsidian]

it's time for the most fun part

[crimson basin]

although traffic lights hmmm

[zealous glen]

I Got a trouble on coding

[crimson basin]

2x2butweird

i dont know if theres a tutorial for working traffic lights on the forum :(

[zealous glen]

This was from choggoba,

It works, in a zip. Confusing

However, nevermind about it now

[livid agate]

working as in?

[crimson basin]

green go, red stop

[livid agate]

It's probably under the roads tutorial

[zealous glen]

Not in there,

[livid agate]

guess I'll rewrite it to include it once I port that over to PCA docs

[zealous glen]

I searched within two days in a furom

[crimson basin]

im looking in the fame json things

[keen helm]

Just letting people know the prop expansion update is out

And available on the plugin store

[crimson basin]

whats this

ive never seen that

[midnight obsidian]

add c++ to theotown

[livid agate]

no

[orchid sorrel]

it's in the roads tutorial

[livid agate]

@midnight obsidian do you have transparent frames for your long building from the saving texture space tutorial? this one, specifically

[midnight obsidian]

long buidling?

oh

let's see if i have them

wait arent they already included in the tutorial

[livid agate]

These are the ones included

I wanted that long one

without the background

[midnight obsidian]

oh then i don't think i have it

[livid agate]

guess one will have to stitch it together at some point

[midnight obsidian]

i will rework the tutorial in the near future, maybe even today

get some better graphics and explanations

[livid agate]

this guy

just as I port it over to PCA

[midnight obsidian]

lol

gosh, who named these night frames like that

[zealous glen]

@midnight obsidian somehow, I was hoping you could expand the quality building tutorials. I still have difficulty making 1by1

[midnight obsidian]

quality building?

[zealous glen]

Yes, hopefully

[midnight obsidian]

this one? https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=10287

[midnight obsidian]

it looks very nice

don't see much room for improvement

[zealous glen]

Yesterday I realized that it needs to have highlights and black parts, I also discovered that it needs rust or weathered

[midnight obsidian]

rust and weathering isn't very necessary

it's your choice whether you want to add them

[zealous glen]

@midnight obsidian I tried to scale them properly by 3by3 pixel humans, but when I blend it to other buildings, I looks so small

[midnight obsidian]

they do look rather tiny, one floor is from 6 to 9 pixels i'd say

[crimson basin]

awww these look so cute 🥺

[astral pagoda]

What is the name of this fence plugin?

[midnight obsidian]

animation dev tool time

[zealous glen]

Players will like it, if they appreciate the beauty of miniature buildings after being exposed from giant buildings

Still prefer giant buildings

[crimson basin]

i like teeny things

i like the teeny stuff rtobby makes

[midnight obsidian]

brilliant

someone didn't count the frames from 0

@signal lagoon perhaps it would be best if adt counted building frames from 0 and not 1

everything's now working just fine ❤️

[frigid tusk]

Malecon pack

[astral pagoda]

Thanks bro

[lavish sail]

Is there any way I can add a unique icon to my building like other disasters in the game?

[glacial galleon]

✨

[zealous glen]

@midnight obsidian what hex code color u used for buildings having lantern lights

[livid agate]

define icon

[glacial galleon]

Night entertainment

[lavish sail]

"icon":"something.png"?

[livid agate]

no no

what do you mean by icon

[lavish sail]

gimme a sec

this one

[midnight obsidian]

"preview frames": [{"bmp": "x.png"}]

[lavish sail]

thanks

time to make my own

[midnight obsidian]

FFFFB2

[signal lagoon]

nope, lua starts from 1 if you mean the displayed numbers, maybe i will add the option to select the start index.

[lavish sail]

cute!

[zealous glen]

I'm excited for it to be released. If only someone could make quality defense walls like in the medieval ages, I could make a great empire.

[midnight obsidian]

wtf

ban

what if i upload a zip with the .plugin

[lavish sail]

isnt .plugin was replaced

by .iiplugin or smth like that

[midnight obsidian]

yes .plugin is now deprecated and instead of it .ttplugin is used

however creating a .ttplugin is impossible (or at least we don't know how to create it)

[lavish sail]

what if just try to change .plugin file to .ttplugin

[crimson basin]

i will eat you for this

[midnight obsidian]

i doubt it'll work

[lavish sail]

maybe itll work

[midnight obsidian]

yeah no

[crimson basin]

doesnt pidroid do .ttplugin

or jas website

im pretty sure one of them does

[crimson basin]

look, dont make my life harder

[crimson basin]

@agile forum

[midnight obsidian]

yeah uh

no more .plguin

.pgul

.plugin

[livid agate]

change in policy, plugins submitted to plugin store should only be archive formats

[midnight obsidian]

:(

well i guess i understand why

[livid agate]

It could've been used to decrypt .plugin files after uploading someone's else plugin

[crimson basin]

ngl these plugins pending approval arent so bad, maybe wed get more approbals this time

[midnight obsidian]

and we won't be able to put .ttplugin files on the store?

[livid agate]

no

[crimson basin]

didnt even know that was possible lmao

[midnight obsidian]

alright

ugh i hate using the mouse

[livid agate]

its in the docs

https://pca.svetikas.lt/docs/guides/plugin-encryption/#ttplugin_file_creation

[midnight obsidian]

oh

:P

[lavish sail]

What the best size of plugin's preview?

[orchid sorrel]

for the plugin store?

[lavish sail]

yep

[orchid sorrel]

no idea but it's resized and cropped to a square anyway

[lavish sail]

So you know what resolution is max?

[orchid sorrel]

no

is it even relevant

[gusty ocean]

now I know why the road can't be made with a letter

Too difficult

[orchid sorrel]

an attempt was made

[gusty ocean]

I will try again next time

[neat cedar]

It needs a lot of experience ig. I tried to do it aswell and it was hard. U need transparent paint aswell

So it seems like a text

I probably failed to explain but u just need experience

[midnight obsidian]

i always go with 256x256

[lavish sail]

i did 256x256 alredy)

[midnight obsidian]

i used to do 512x512 but it took up too much space

i usually just take a screenshot of the plugin and then downsize it so it fits a 256x256 space

and then add some text so that people know what plugin it is

[echo lotus]

can I take inspire from your plugins?

[zealous glen]

You want my texture? PNG?

[echo lotus]

not want, but inspire

[zealous glen]

Yes sure, each floor is just 5 height

[echo lotus]

thx!!!

[echo lotus]

whoa that’s gigantic

[uncut acorn]

He planned this after the voting was done for the celebration of hitting 1000 members in LPC Discord Server

[uncut acorn]

Yeah it is

[lavish sail]

And this is the final version of the air strike. I've already posted the plugin, let's see if it gets confirmed at all (i hope so)

[near flame]

that is so cool

[near flame]

oh nice

yeah i have heard about that

[fickle frigate]

my new project - Sun and Moon

in progress

[gaunt quartz]

Katori coming out of retirement before gta 6??

Anyways that looks verryy coooolll

[fickle frigate]

actually i started developing this some months ago, but haven't found the optimal code for it yet

[gaunt quartz]

Ah ight

[red lintel]

Magnificent

Legitimately magnificent

[eager oriole]

Wow. I love it

[rich birch]

The Master returned from his rest 😱

[crimson basin]

interesting

[frigid tusk]

What is that

[robust hawk]

that must be the russian ministry of defence building

who made this?

[frigid tusk]

Can't you read what he wrote?

[robust hawk]

hmmm

ah

sorry i didnt read carefully:3

[frigid tusk]

It's ok

[neat cedar]

Where did you get that plugin file?

[fickle frigate]

It is Hue Imperial Citadel plugin

[neat cedar]

Chinese things?

Not my need ngl

[fickle frigate]

It was made by Cao Thai Bao - a Vietnamese creator. He posted it in Facebook group Theotown Vietnam, but haven't published it to the store

[fickle frigate]

No, Vietnam'ancient citadel

[neat cedar]

Oh

Still not my need lol

But

isnt that against rules?

[wooden matrix]

I took it in my private theotown group

[neat cedar]

is that ur plugin?

[fickle frigate]

Remove it if you haven't asked Bao 's approval

[neat cedar]

Wait a citadel actually could be useful for my city

But it depends on the type

But i wont use that plug

[neat cedar]

I dont think he has approval

[neat cedar]

GIMME

That

[wooden matrix]

No it's not my plugin

[neat cedar]

Then u need the approve from the plugin creator to publish it urself

[wooden matrix]

Yes, I'm sorry for not knowing this

[robust hawk]

it's a vietnamese citadel

looks very beautiful tbh

i have seen some people made citadel with it

i wish we have more of those stuff instead of skyscarpers

[wooden matrix]

Are you Vietnamese?

[somber haven]

Honestly I need more huge building and historical building

When I mean huge I don't mean like tall

[robust hawk]

yessir

[somber haven]

I mean more 10x10-16x16

[covert root]

Here

[neat cedar]

Oiii

thx

[fickle frigate]

yes, i'm admin of Theotown Vietnam fb group

[neat cedar]

Bro fr met the worst person he/she can after posting that plugin 😭🙏

[fickle frigate]

as far as i know the author has posted it on the store but it was rejected for some reason :((

[near flame]

average move haha

[wooden matrix]

So can you give me some Vietnamese homestay plugins?

[fickle frigate]

I have never drawn such plugins, but you can try The Leaf's Vietnamese house plugin

[wooden matrix]

where is it?

[near flame]

in LPC

i think you have just asked that question in that server

[wooden matrix]

What, that group is called leaf plugin community, are you also on that group? I don't know

[near flame]

yeah

[keen stratus]

that’s huge

30x30?

[orchid sorrel]

those buildings are humongous

[ripe jasper]

they are, some slums in the philippines can get quite high

to the point you can see them peeking over the skyway 😆

[trim blade]

Those windows are really large

[lavish sail]

Ok guys i need your help

I was about to release napalm bombing plugin, but it was rejected by rule 5b (violence and naturalistic content)
how should i rebrand it

[crimson basin]

you know, i saw your second lua file and i only saw 3 lines and i was like hmmm, looks easy enough for me to review until i saw the other lua file 😔

[lavish sail]

:3

second lua made only for make player unable to click on the fire fluid

[livid agate]

I already reviewed it

[crimson basin]

and that means youre gonna approve it?

[lavish sail]

wait

wait

i failed fix

[livid agate]

was it rebranded

[crimson basin]

no idea

trying to figure out some guys id clash

[lavish sail]

i removed every napalm mention

is that enough?

[livid agate]

No idea

I'm gonna have someone else review it

[lavish sail]

i should reupload it

[livid agate]

no

[livid agate]

you should edit the disapproved version

[crimson basin]

look good to you ja?

im play testing rn so make it quick

[livid agate]

im not quite sure napalm was the issue

[lavish sail]

i broken id's

id reuploaded it, now it fixed

[crimson basin]

I hate it when people reupload their plugins after it gets disapproved and delete the old version 😭
Its like they hate plugin mods and they dont want their plugin to be approved faster

[livid agate]

if they do that repeatedly, its grounds for suspension of their permission to post on the plugin store

[crimson basin]

ja

[crimson basin]

wow, didnt know that, theres a couple people who do that very often

ja come back

approve the decription rq

[lavish sail]

discord-approving

[midnight obsidian]

wtf my fachwerk houses are dangerous :(

[lavish sail]

[midnight obsidian]

my playgrounds are two times sexual

[livid agate]

[crimson basin]

no ones gonna care

[midnight obsidian]

yes i know

[crimson basin]

[crimson basin]

[thin moat]

[frigid tusk]

Theotown is becoming a war simulator at this point

[thin moat]

[crimson basin]

[thin moat]

[midnight obsidian]

yes

[midnight obsidian]

the top one

version 1 gives it away

[crimson basin]

theres only 2 parks

[lavish sail]

i think you need 1 more frame

to make it smoother

[crimson basin]

also im pretty sure i disapproved that, or something because i made pending plugins to 0 before 2 pwople resubmitted stuff

https://forum.theotown.com/plugins/list?mode=user&user_id=476836

[thin moat]

cheers

[crimson basin]

rtobby, the last one is for you

please do something about it so i can sit in satisfaction when no more of them are pending

[lavish sail]

oh my god

new plugin channel

🥳

[zealous glen]

Simple entertainment of mine

[lavish sail]

wow. Need for diamonds: Most un-fireprotected

[zealous glen]

Bro, I was really entertained by this, I made speed variations so each color has a chance to override others. I tried to make them balance

[lavish sail]

Its wrote with fun? Looks really complicated

[strong prism]

Before

After

4x4>5x5

Now it is more in line with real life

[zealous glen]

Yellow
Blue
Green
Purple
Cyan
Whale
Red
White
Orange
Maroon

Speed variants

Underrated cars :
Yellow 2.1/5/5.1
Purple 2.2/4.5
White 2.3/4.6
Orange2.4/4.4

Balanced cars:
Blue 2.4/4.2/4
Cyan 2.5/4.1

Overpowered cars:
Whale 5/ 3.6
Green 4/4.7+ 2.5
Red 4/4.3
Maroon 4.8-4.9

[zealous glen]

It might look complicated , but I just repeatedly create new id for speed variants of each colors

[lavish sail]

Both looks cool

[thin moat]

this took an embarrasing amount of time and still looks bad

[lavish sail]

I have no idea, how to do something like this. Great work, i think!

[thin moat]

how can i make a harbor better?

[zealous glen]

Cars also have diagonals,

[zealous glen]

I was thinking about reworking the garage, The garage can spawn 10 cars. It belongs to the sport. If I'd like to upload it to the store, I should put instructions on using it like give this cars a separate roads

[zealous glen]

I made the road where industrial cars and passenger cars won't pass by

[lavish sail]

I have nothing to say. Just keep going!

[crimson basin]

noice

[lavish sail]

Uuuuh

What was that channel

or forum, idk

[crimson basin]

wdym

[lavish sail]

#plugin-showcase forum

[crimson basin]

ah yeah

forum

you can submit plugins there

of any quality really

[lavish sail]

But theres no forum ._.

[crimson basin]

as long as it isnt malware you should be good

[zealous glen]

Fit for those who wanted war features

[crimson basin]

i dont understand

there literally is?

[lavish sail]

i mean, ja created #plugin-showcase forum on #community creations

it existed for like, 20 mins, and got deleted

or I'm schizophrenic

[crimson basin]

oh wait

lol

https://forum.theotown.com/viewforum.php?f=43&sid=2cdb8e9676d1c170d2f004eec5416bf7

[lavish sail]

... i think you jsut didnt noticed that or im really schizophrenic

[crimson basin]

just saw it in archives, yeah its deleted

[lavish sail]

what was that?

sneak peak? 🧐

[crimson basin]

him messing around with something i suppose

[zealous glen]

It's 4:53 am here, I'm curious if we all have the same clock, I should say good morning 🌞

[crimson basin]

[glacial galleon]

But what happened?????????????

[uncut acorn]

TheLeaf

[uncut acorn]

😐

[glacial galleon]

I don't know bro, I didn't do anything :,v
I just edited the Titles of my Plugins to Capital Letters

English

[eager oriole]

WOW. How you did it

[urban grove]

I'm guessing it's because of #information ?

[vivid gust]

That’s so cool

[glacial galleon]

I don't even know what happened

😔

[zealous glen]

I just learned how to put gaussian black as noise

[fickle frigate]

yeah

but i think these parts should be darker

[autumn stirrup]

plugin recommendations, I'm a new player

[zealous glen]

Great,and I lowered the saturation,

[fickle frigate]

yeah

[zealous glen]

Try ankatory's buildings

[zealous glen]

It is done, next will small details

[fickle frigate]

yeah

and i think you should darker the white parts also

overal it looks a bit too bright

[eager oriole]

it needs to be green?

[fickle frigate]

according to the new announcement, it should be change to green :v

[crimson basin]

ah it was included in the suspension reason but the disapproval overrode that; its still an isssue with the graphics

[crimson basin]

its already blue actualluu, youre probably just behind that update

[fickle frigate]

but how is the green like? dark or light? does anyone have a sample?

[eager oriole]

is blue right now?

[glacial galleon]

But I don't understand what I have to modify 🥹

[crimson basin]

thr roof and the stands

[crimson basin]

well its supposed to be green but if i havent received that update

[eager oriole]

oh

[glacial galleon]

But the other plugins I have are the same in those Charts and they accepted them :v

[eager oriole]

cuz there is no signals on my play store that i need to update the game

[crimson basin]

Ptag staged

[agile forum]

A staged rollout means that only a certain percentage of users will get the update at a time. Meaning that the update will come over a matter of days to everyone, rather than all at once. We have no of choosing who get's the update when, it's totally random. So for now you just have to wait.

[eager oriole]

oh. i thing is for not saturate the servers or something like that

[crimson basin]

its just how playstore does it

steam is immediate

[eager oriole]

but i have phone. Well. I guess i'm gonna wait

i don't know how much it gonna change the game

[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

If you want more then you can check my plugin list.

[rich birch]

May i see your plugin list?
I want to know 🥺

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.

[crimson basin]

Move into plugin folder

[zealous glen]

I wanted to ask about the "flag maglev"

Also, what flag do waste disposal truck have? Also the police and medic, I wanted to design a road only for a speed cars

I tried flag high speed but the consequence is that road decorations are not abled

[gusty ocean]

how to use the coordinate in lights

[orchid sorrel]

"I wanted to ask" and where is the question????

[lavish sail]

he said he wanted ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[orchid sorrel]

garbage trucks don't have any special attributes

also, wtf is "flag high speed"

[zealous glen]

Why there is "maglev", I found it in the furom

[orchid sorrel]

found where

[crimson basin]

i dont know anything about vehicles

[dreamy hearth]

Refer to the size of the original building in pixels

And then if it's still off then you can increase or decrease from there

[zealous glen]

Developer Lobby wrote it

[orchid sorrel]

interesting

but what is the question

[zealous glen]

My problem was how can i prevent the police, medic and garbage truck passing on my road

[zealous glen]

Oh I see, I should review using the "lobby new flag".. great thanks

[orchid sorrel]

[dusty hill]

im afraid that private plugins i have will no longer work in future

[orchid sorrel]

oh no 😭

[dusty hill]

hope im not right

[fickle frigate]

i think if private plugins are .zip, they will still work

[crimson basin]

yeah

.ttplugin provides an additional layer of security

especially for ones that have privileges

[fickle frigate]

yeah

[urban grove]

The Doctor building with new graphics? #information message honestly i like the green cross, it's not bad of a change.

[orchid sorrel]

since the image is grainy, the actual colors used there are 31A53B, 2A8C32, 227236 and 1C5E2C

[urban grove]

I have a question, does a plugin that uses .plugin will stop working in the future or they will still work but may not work on online mode?

[crimson basin]

@livid agate

[livid agate]

Maybe they will

No idea just yet

For now, no

[urban grove]

If they don't work in the future then I'm so screwed. Half of my external plugins are .plugin (mainly vönark plugins)

[livid agate]

If they had manifests, their shelf life might be longer

[crimson basin]

Shelf life lol

[summer kestrel]

Imagine having external plugins

[fickle frigate]

yeah

I'm still working on it, thanks for your feedback.

[dusty hill]

it seems .plugins will lose compatibility

anyway

how can i export plugin to a new format

nvm

got it

[neat cedar]

That's the best one so far

[dusty hill]

i should try to do night anim for Hotel Silesia

[thorny arrow]

Can I use 1x1 template for it?

@orchid sorrel ????

[neat cedar]

I dont know but maybe by some changes on json

[thorny arrow]

Is this allowed or not?

[neat cedar]

U can do it but it will probably be not approved for plugin store

[thorny arrow]

🤧

[neat cedar]

im sure u can bc vönark did it at some of his plugins

im not sure if it will be approved but probably not

[dusty hill]

does after the next update the .plugin files will still work

[orchid sorrel]

what is the question

[ripe jasper]

the question is 4 question marks

[crimson basin]

If kmr can use a 2x2 template for a 2x1 building

[orchid sorrel]

who cares what template you use lol

[dreamy hearth]

It works actually. You just have to split the building into 1x1 parts afterwards

[thorny arrow]

can we have priv mess ?

[orchid sorrel]

just do it

™️

I'm not adding you to my friend list, sorry

it's already messy enough as it is

[crystal eagle]

Private?

[thorny arrow]

Maybe it will be the only one in pack without nightmode 👀

[fickle frigate]

under progress

I will publish it to the store when finish

[covert root]

My first plugin is there everything okay in it? Or is something wrong
