[grand hamlet]

what is the name of plugin where streetlights can be used as fence?

[neat cedar]

The best for that plugin is Max's plugin I can say

lemme check the exact name

[grand hamlet]

yeah that will help mate

name would be great

[neat cedar]

Max's prop expansion

[grand hamlet]

see like I want to light up this area

but the lights I placed it ain't glowing

[neat cedar]

its not that plugin ig bc lamps in that plugin is old style but its still impressive dw

[grand hamlet]

does that glow

[neat cedar]

yup

[grand hamlet]

I just need to use like a fence and it should glow

[neat cedar]

wait

It glows but doesnt spread light around

bc its a fence lol

but its still good

[grand hamlet]

do u know any specific plugins then

which is suitable for it

or else what do you think what should I place there

[neat cedar]

Not really. This is the best u can get if Im not wrong

[grand hamlet]

still it would be cool

tqs mehmet

[neat cedar]

np

[eternal sail]

Done

Yes it looks terrible and probably when I release the plugin nobody will use it including me but it is for filling

[eager oriole]

how i can make that antena?

[eternal sail]

I have no idea, what I am worst at is making decorations on ceilings, but in my opinion it doesn't look bad.

[eager oriole]

Well. I can use it for some stuffs on my city. But it needs more details ;),

[eternal sail]

Yes, I know but it's too difficult for me to put all the details of the building ;v

[eager oriole]

i can help you :)'

[eternal sail]

oh really?

[eager oriole]

Md me

[eternal sail]

Ok

[eager oriole]

but i'll help you only with that one cuz i'm gonna be busy

[eternal sail]

Ok

Don't worry

[eternal sail]

Remastered by @eager oriole (Thank you very much for helping me with the building)

[eager oriole]

;)'

[eternal sail]

Well I think I'll make this little square

(will actually be the first building with parked cars)

[stoic palm]

@topaz jacinth please refer to the pinned messages here

[topaz jacinth]

Pls help me to create ah plugin I'm new in theotown plssss

[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

[eternal sail]

I'm barely wearing this 💀

[eternal sail]

Well it's looking really good I think this will be my 3rd favorite building so far

[eternal sail]

Update

[eternal sail]

Litle edit now the green shop is a oxxo

[rain gate]

This building looks so amazing

[eternal sail]

I just realized how uncomfortable it is to enter that house. You have to open the garage to enter. There is no secondary door, only the car door.

💀

or well it's probably a gate

[eternal sail]

Well the cars look terrible but well they don't look extremely terrible I tried

[eager oriole]

XD. yeah. Its like that

[eager oriole]

thanks

[eternal sail]

xd

Well I finished my day with only 2 buildings finished ;v (I wanted to make 5)

[eager oriole]

this one finished.

[eternal sail]

Goooooood

[eager oriole]

thanks

[buoyant wren]

mexican shop

[dusty hill]

still WIP

[orchid sorrel]

I see you dropped the hexagon shape

[dusty hill]

it should be octagonal

[orchid sorrel]

cool

[dusty hill]

these left (not the windows)

hmm

[ivory kestrel]

when they fixed texture of trainstation roof

[orchid sorrel]

what?

[ivory kestrel]

The texture looks too dark, maybe it would look better if the color was like an elevated trainstation

[dry atlas]

Are there any buildings plugins that consume ton of electricity for production?

[uncut acorn]

Nice

[crimson basin]

i think you can benefit from darker shadows

[gusty ocean]

guys, how to make a fence?

[frigid tusk]

Check tutorials in forum

[gusty ocean]

Ok thanks

[dusty hill]

wdym?

[crimson basin]

Increase shadow opacity

[eager oriole]

thanks :)'

[eager oriole]

Make the right part (shadow) more darker. Thats what Bunny said

[dusty hill]

k

and now?

[eager oriole]

looks better

[orchid sorrel]

I don't quite see the point of doing that kind of changes on draft colors

but sure

[eager oriole]

do you mean. From orange to blue?

[orchid sorrel]

what?

[eager oriole]

of what?

[orchid sorrel]

??????????????????????????

[eager oriole]

?????????????

[orchid sorrel]

you're incomprehensible

[eager oriole]

cuz i didn't understand what you said :('

[eager oriole]

I thing this is what you said

[eager oriole]

What 🚨 means on your name?

[orchid sorrel]

literally hover over it

[eager oriole]

oh

[dusty hill]

anyway

it's only shape

later i'll replace with the proper colors

[orchid sorrel]

you should use proper colors from very early stages

guess you can do some stuff on draft colors when doing theotown plugins but in literally any other form of art it won't do

[dusty hill]

hmm

[dusty hill]

what

[eager oriole]

that parts need to be brighter cuz light hit that part

:)'

[orchid sorrel]

they don't

[dusty hill]

#plugin-discussion message

[orchid sorrel]

it's a purely aesthetic decision and up to the creator

you're giving advice like you have any experience in graphics lol

anyway, you did not make the colors any better

[dusty hill]

ehhh

[orchid sorrel]

what on earth is that supposed to mean lol

[dull plover]

what is that thing

[dusty hill]

Water tower

[eager oriole]

XD i'm brong. You are okey guy. I see a lot of buildings on theotown and that part is brighter.

[orchid sorrel]

🅱️rong

[latent rain]

Hello, I want to ask, when will the icon plugin be released?

[ripe jasper]

what icon

[crimson basin]

Icon plugin?

[latent rain]

Sorry I made a typo

I mean plugin IKN

[crimson basin]

Ah

Where did it go

[eager oriole]

Yeah i'm brong. Sorry for that XD

[crimson basin]

I do plugin approvals during my weekend so you can look forward to that

[latent rain]

In my opinion, the DPR plugin is suitable as a place for demonstrations 🙂 because this place is often the site of demonstrations in my city.

Where are you from? If you're from Indonesia, please use Indonesian so I can understand 😦

[crimson basin]

You can talk to @strange cloud in indonesian in #language-bar

[strange cloud]

@ gw bro di #language-bar
-# @ me in #language-bar

[hardy anvil]

Waiting for IKN

[eternal sail]

Done :]

I don't know if it's the best thing in the world but I liked it. All that's left is to add people and that's it.

[eager oriole]

good

[eternal sail]

Thanks

[eager oriole]

Time to wait 🙂

[visual ivy]

Is there’s any plugins to duplicate routs and stuff like that ?

[crimson basin]

duplicate routes?

[crimson basin]

i hope that uses animations to get that height

[eternal sail]

let's gooooo

Guys, what building do I make now?

[eager oriole]

nope 😔 but how i can do it?

[eternal sail]

If both are generic buildings, I'm too lazy to make buildings with more details.

[eager oriole]

i'll go to get started

[eager oriole]

Oh. Cool

[eternal sail]

Thanks xd

They may be the largest residential buildings in the plugin

XDXD

(By the way, it looks like it's snowing, but it doesn't snow in Mexico City. It's the quality of my camera)

[crimson basin]

same way as night animations but without lights and light switching

you cut up your frames

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

[eager oriole]

Oh. Thanks for that

The big one have 463 pixels of height

but i will make them an animation and send it again.

i guess

[worthy narwhal]

i appreciate you making my building better but at least credit me for it 😭🙏

good job tho it looks much nicer

[hardy anvil]

Ahh so you made the old version

I just found out that you are the creator of the old version

[terse sluice]

Guyss

What is the best plugin

[weak kestrel]

Second image 😍😍

[worthy narwhal]

allg

btw did u make night anim aswell?

[dusty hill]

changed colors

[rain gate]

Bro is cooking very hard just amazing

[covert root]

Hey why is this happening

[orchid sorrel]

probably wrongly cropped image

[orchid sorrel]

please learn color theory 😩

[covert root]

How to do it

[orchid sorrel]

show your image

[covert root]

In pixly ?

[orchid sorrel]

yeah it's not even cropped

[covert root]

I don't know what that means what I have to do

[dusty hill]

it is better now, i guess

[orchid sorrel]

crop the image as much as possible

[covert root]

?

Should it work now

[strange cloud]

Yes,it supposed

[covert root]

So that is cropping?

[strange cloud]

But crop the y axis further until there's no blank space.

[strange cloud]

*-ing verb

[crimson basin]

bro whats going on at the bottom, can i see the reference?

[covert root]

Like this?

[strange cloud]

Good

[covert root]

Ok ty

[crimson basin]

why did you choose this building again

[livid agate]

its clear to me that the draft width/height is bad

nvm, i see the issue

[covert root]

What but it works now

Okay that part doesn't

So how to make it show

It isn't possible ?

Maybe need to remove that whole part

[eager oriole]

well. Yes. Remove that part. Its not gonna show cuz its in the limit.

[weak kestrel]

Is that your upcoming plugin ?

[covert root]

Okay ty

[eager oriole]

also. Nice

[covert root]

Yes if I make it look decent and it would be allowed to publish to the game

[covert root]

Thanks:)

[weak kestrel]

What's that

[covert root]

What

[weak kestrel]

The plugin u r making ?!

[covert root]

It doesn't exist in real life I just started to make something, Im not sure yet what it would mainly be

[weak kestrel]

In my opinion it can be anything, if you add glass and doors than it'll be supermarket if you add just industrial type doors it will be storage facility or industry building also or just office building also by glass fences , many things

[covert root]

Yeah I first Thought to make BILTEMA

[dusty hill]

i tried to do it again

[crimson basin]

heres my take on it

the design is just bad

why cant you choose buildings that look nice

its always the most worn down abandoned building styles 😭

[coral hemlock]

Hey guys, need ask a bit

So im in theotown forum and want to download a plugin

So where i can find it?

[livid agate]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewforum.php?f=43

[eager oriole]

On forum or in plugin store in the game

the leaves looks good?

[orchid sorrel]

literally

like, can you do a normal plugin for once lmao

[eager oriole]

i mean the color

[orchid sorrel]

that's just 2 colors

[eager oriole]

yes. I know it

well. this is my second try to make trees

[dusty hill]

It's not my fault that there are so much Post modernist buildings in Poland

Poland was communist after war

[orchid sorrel]

nobody is forcing you to do polish buildings lol

[dry atlas]

How cool it would be to have a factory that use deceased people as a way to create artificial diamonds

I should suggest something like that, maybe some madman will do it

[orchid sorrel]

😩

[dusty hill]

so i guess the water tower gets trashed again...

[crimson basin]

Its ugly

Especially the roof

The wall colours can be fixed but the roof needs to be gone

The roof thingy is also like 2 pixels tall 😭

Can anyone even climb on the roof

[orchid sorrel]

not every roof is meant to be climbable lmao

[crimson basin]

Okay but

Do you see that roof

Its literally unfixable

It has 2 pixel windows and it camoflages

[orchid sorrel]

out of all the things wrong with that image the roof is the least of my concerns

[crimson basin]

Lmao

Whats your concerns then

The colour?

[orchid sorrel]

primarily

[crimson basin]

The colour is fixable

[orchid sorrel]

everything is fixable

my gal

[crimson basin]

Just do the colour thing on it

The funny adjustment thing

[dry atlas]

Are there any plugins that cost a ton of electricity?

[eternal sail]

Ok

[eternal sail]

Oh beatifull

[eternal sail]

1000000/10

[eager oriole]

its looking good

[eternal sail]

Thanks

[spice crescent]

is there any template for making a modular building?

[crimson basin]

No templates youd have to use square buildings

[spice crescent]

im struggling making the corner roof

[eternal sail]

Well, it occurred to me to put a graphite right there of the CEO of the DSA (or whatever his name is, I call him a giant cucumber)

[boreal charm]

W build

[dusty hill]

it seems water towers aren't my strong site

[eager oriole]

its litteraly for my plugin of an alien planet

[weak kestrel]

Wooh so cool

[boreal charm]

make alien like terrain too

[eager oriole]

well...

[boreal charm]

somehow i think you should add something here

[eternal sail]

If I haven't finished it yet, I want to think that it will look better when I finish it.

[eager oriole]

do you mean. Ground?

[boreal charm]

ye

[boreal charm]

ye

[boreal charm]

wow

[eternal sail]

Thanks

[eternal sail]

Wow

×2

[orchid sorrel]

what is this, royal carpet?

[eager oriole]

Alien grass

[orchid sorrel]

makes sense

[eager oriole]

:)

[dusty hill]

i guess i shouldn't do any water towers now

[orchid sorrel]

just do something different for once

[eternal sail]

Done :DD

[eternal sail]

If I didn't do the graffiti I wanted to do it but it was looking horrible (now that I see it tidy I should have done a mini graffiti BRUH)

[boreal charm]

its fine but i think its missing something like frfr

🤔

!

its missing an unfathomable amount of Advertisement boards!

[eager oriole]

XD

[eager oriole]

cool

[eternal sail]

You're right, I'll put up an advertising poster... for Coca Cola or whatever xd

[eternal sail]

Thanks

[eager oriole]

a progress

[eager oriole]

Coca cola have copyright. Or isnt?

[eternal sail]

Of course they have an army of lawyers but it would be difficult for them to sue me to begin with I am not affecting their image and I am even giving them free sponsorship and the poster could look so bad that it would not be understood that it is Coca Cola xd

🤓

Or well, I don't know, many people do it.

[eager oriole]

oh

XD

[crimson basin]

if your posting on the store i advice to not do cocacola unless its modified

cause copyright

maybe if you cant read it or something

[eternal sail]

Well that won't be a problem because I will definitely never put my plugins in the store, only on the server and forums xd

[eager oriole]

uh?

[eternal sail]

It was translated wrong from Spanish :v

[glad valley]

can sameon her make a mosque plugin pls

[eager oriole]

oh you use translator?

xd

[eager oriole]

Say it but in plugin suggestion

[eager oriole]

Looks good

[plush comet]

West-Point house

[eternal sail]

Yes XDXDXD

Esept in very basic things

[eternal sail]

Nice

[boreal charm]

not restricted to one ad board

[crimson basin]

Looks vety nice, maybe increase contrast?

[civic marten]

Rate my plugin

[crimson basin]

You can increase park and management influences

10 and 5 are rather small

Whats the baseplate size?

[civic marten]

Hmmmm
Nice idea
I think I will add nature

How much nature need?

[civic marten]

16 x 16

[crimson basin]

Oh so pretty big

You may use like influences bigger than 100

[civic marten]

Bro that to big 💀

[crimson basin]

No trust me, it aint

[heavy horizon]

Isn't there already an Apple park plugin?

[civic marten]

Where?

When?

[civic marten]

It's private plugin

I make before iknoww make that

[crimson basin]

@orchid sorrel

I like this new version

Its okay to have more than one version

[crimson basin]

Pinged kulche for this

[heavy horizon]

Who made the version in the video?

[civic marten]

Jefri

Me left
Jefri right

[hardy anvil]

Jefri is Jefri
Iknow is iknow
Different people

[civic marten]

Hmmm okay

[civic marten]

What is a suitable price for this plugin?

@hardy anvil wait,How Iknoww have that?

[hardy anvil]

Friend

[orchid sorrel]

what do you mean

[civic marten]

👍

[orchid sorrel]

as long as the versions don't confilct with each other

[civic marten]

2 version of apple building

@crimson basin

Ok,How much influence is needed?

Management :
Park :
Nature :

[crimson basin]

Inpinged you for could use higher influence ranges foe a 16x16 to know how much you thought was okau

But it pinged you like too many mesaages after 😭

[civic marten]

How to make mirror texture in theotown?

[dusty hill]

i think you all rather that i do buildings like these

[orchid sorrel]

look

[civic marten]

I think I would prefer whatever building is made

[orchid sorrel]

another drab railway station

I can't believe it

[dusty hill]

than this post-modernist things (even if isn't that ugly)

[crimson basin]

You can try 300 park and nature and 200 management

[crimson basin]

Maybe aomething thats not yellow for once?

[dusty hill]

it's only example

[orchid sorrel]

preferably something that isn't an ugly communist generic brick number 39289325

[strange cloud]

2 commission works.

[zealous glen]

Lol, it's a park of reach country, it's should be 1000 influence

[dusty hill]

ehh

[zealous glen]

I suggest 1000 influence is good for it

[night venture]

Best

Go for it

[dusty hill]

it seems i have to do more Modern and post war buildings

instead of the post modernist things...

so Soviet apartments are more enjoyable instead of post modernist stations

[civic marten]

Guys,who has number plugin?

[midnight obsidian]

i think you should heed kulche's idea

[civic marten]

Nature?

[midnight obsidian]

something that isn't an ugly communist generic brick number 39289325

[crimson basin]

300 for park and nature each

[dusty hill]

i guess this one also is kind of Communist generic brick

but this one was modernised (but later gets demolished and other station building is on it's location)

[near flame]

this is so true haah

we have too many russian buildings

[dusty hill]

and seems i have only 2 options left with buildings i guess

the Post war and modern ones

[civic marten]

I will add it in the next update

[dusty hill]

i don't have much buildings to do now...

can't do another communist things, but i was enjoying that

[orchid sorrel]

nobody is forcing you to do anything

it's just that nobody would ever want stuff like that in their cities

I know I wouldn't

[dusty hill]

maybe i should finally relase other stuff

[crimson basin]

how about some modern buildings

or old buildings which arent from whichever period you were doing before

[dusty hill]

i was thinking abt this

[crimson basin]

that looks okay i suppose

[orchid sorrel]

that's even more "generic brick" esque than before

but whatever lol

[crimson basin]

atleast it looks less weird

[zealous glen]

I'm making a plugin but I don't know the exact reason for making it. I feel frustrated.

[sharp hare]

does anyone know the plugin to those little houses on the big park?
i had it but its gone and i forgot its name

[zealous glen]

That's easy to make, I might make my own cottages. If I got inspired

[sharp hare]

no like im asking for the plugin that has them, and i know there is one because i had it

[static pollen]

It's a plugin by Kingtut on the store

[sharp hare]

thx man

[static pollen]

Search picnic pavilions

[thorny arrow]

👀

[weak kestrel]

Pls make them seperate

[thorny arrow]

Its 2x2 block

I took this while I was considering how to properly position the shadows and how to decorate the area between the buildings.

[weak kestrel]

What's the inspiration by the way, like specific building ?

[weak kestrel]

Wooh really cool 😍

[visual ivy]

Where we can get this plugin if its possible please

[crimson basin]

wtf you pinged a message from 2 years ago

try looking in the plugin store

[weak kestrel]

I also want that , but that's not in plugin store

[stoic palm]

#events message

[weak kestrel]

Thks Evan 😍

[eternal sail]

Well, I'll make one of those typical Mexican houses that are super squeaky.

[eager oriole]

🤔

[eager oriole]

You have the buildings that you made in theotown?

[eternal sail]

If they are all saved in downloads, when there are many I will temporarily put them in a zip file. I have not started programming yet xd

[eager oriole]

oh

its easy. You dont have to do code for it

its not code. I guess

[eternal sail]

Ok

Ok definitely I'm going to put them in a file so I don't lose them if they're quite disorganized now that I see

[eager oriole]

Wow

when you finish it i can have it? Or you'll put it in forum

[eternal sail]

I'll put it on the forums and on some theotown servers

[eternal sail]

Well, I'll do that building later. For now, I'll make some small shops.

[eternal sail]

Looks nice

[eager oriole]

thanks

[flat cedar]

does this look overworked?

[orchid sorrel]

yes

far too griddy

[lavish sail]

That's looks very nice, but theres problems I with too big contrast and no shadows

[orchid sorrel]

you should maybe try lowering some of that contrast and removing some of the beams

[orchid sorrel]

where would you want the shadows, everything looks fine here

also, pls remove roof outline

[lavish sail]

right side?

[eternal sail]

Well I made a pizzeria, I think it turned out really well xd

[orchid sorrel]

maybe that part in particular could have some more contrast but the shadows are there

[lavish sail]

better!

[eternal sail]

Looks nice ❤

[flat cedar]

I think most halftimber houses have more plaster than wood but some of them are almost 50:50 like this

like this one

[simple slate]

Omagai

[orchid sorrel]

looks better but i'm not sure about that pillow shading and purple/blue windows/roof

[crimson basin]

roof looks pretty

@orchid sorrel awake? i need help deciding what plugin to work on today

[orchid sorrel]

gal it's 7 pm

[crimson basin]

you get offline before its midnight for me lol

[orchid sorrel]

also what about finishing something for once lol

[crimson basin]

none of them are anywhere close to being done

[orchid sorrel]

yeah midnight and 7 pm sure are the same

[crimson basin]

which is why im asking which one i should work on lol

[orchid sorrel]

i'd tell you to get involved in ci but i'd redraw everything anyway

[crimson basin]

i would do something but i dont think anyone would like them lol

[orchid sorrel]

lol

[crimson basin]

i could come up with prop ideas

but i was also thinking of drawing something soooo

[orchid sorrel]

perhaps you could draw some generic apartment buildings

or some single family houses

[crimson basin]

police station? religion building? the snow rink night animation? the funny lodge i couldnt get the roof right?

[crimson basin]

as a new plugin? are you trying to get me into doing something id never finish 😭

[orchid sorrel]

make up your mind

[crimson basin]

^^

these are all started but not finished

and the mcdonalds rework

[orchid sorrel]

out of all those buildings i only really liked the police one lol

[crimson basin]

but eggo did that one 😭

and i was just fitting it to my style lol

also i thought you liked the religion one 🥺

[orchid sorrel]

it's alright

but not ass clenching

[neat cedar]

I will be honest. That mosque destroyed me

[crimson basin]

speaking of, that one was almost done, i just cant do the scenery

mosque?

what mosque?

[neat cedar]

U also made a purple mosque didnt you

[crimson basin]

oh

i was talking about the religion school

its like a school for religious educatoon than an actual practicing building

[neat cedar]

I thought u guys were talking about purple services

[crimson basin]

cause drawing? id never finish half of them

[neat cedar]

Like Qur'an course?

[crimson basin]

thats like a done deal

[orchid sorrel]

i felt that it was a bit too squarey

like it's just a huge brick and that's it

[crimson basin]

yes but all religions maybe sectioned off

[neat cedar]

oh k

[crimson basin]

yeah it was

personally, eggos one looks kinda flat, its not that i dont like it but because its so big it looks short

[orchid sorrel]

american styled buildings tend to do that lol

guess it might look weird to you because you live on an anthill

[crimson basin]

anthill 😭

[neat cedar]

tf is anthill

[crimson basin]

250 000 ants i guess

you think i live in usa so you have no idea

[orchid sorrel]

it ain't rocket science to figure it out lmao

[crimson basin]

maybe snow plugin? but i just cant get the roof right

[neat cedar]

It seems like anthill is a residential complex

lmfao

[crimson basin]

the snow rink shouldnt be hard enough to make night anumations for, it just needed a lower glow

[neat cedar]

Oh I've seen

its like a hill

but ants live in it

bruh

[orchid sorrel]

jesus christ can you please leave

[crimson basin]

its about the size mehmet

comparatively

[neat cedar]

But I couldnt hold it when I saw that weird word😭🙏

[orchid sorrel]

people when they see a common noun:

[crimson basin]

weird word, bros never seen an ant hill 😭

[orchid sorrel]

anyway let's get back on topic

[crimson basin]

can you please do my roof? 🥺

[neat cedar]

well Im not supposed to know every word in english

still learning

[orchid sorrel]

no

everything about that building was off

[crimson basin]

i just need you to do a snowy roof 😭

[orchid sorrel]

[crimson basin]

mehmet

[neat cedar]

[crimson basin]

[orchid sorrel]

but the execution part was mid

[neat cedar]

oh u meant buildings and props for winter

[crimson basin]

[crimson basin]

i like how theres all the plugins and theres the joost cube plugin

[crimson basin]

[neat cedar]

I can say conpunter is nasa version of computer

[orchid sorrel]

cnptn

[thorny arrow]

[crimson basin]

[orchid sorrel]

[crimson basin]

i like saving my pngs to my desktop

[neat cedar]

I still didnt understand what u exactly want😭🙏Its my bad but I gotta understand if its buildings and props for winter or winter version of buildings and props?

[crimson basin]

[orchid sorrel]

saving stuff on desktop

[crimson basin]

is it joost head cube plugin?

[crimson basin]

former

[neat cedar]

former?

[orchid sorrel]

yes, former and not latter

[crimson basin]

i see you also save your plugins there

[crimson basin]

first part

[neat cedar]

I actually thought about that but wanted to make sure

I need to study vocabulary

damn

[neat cedar]

hm

lemme think

[crimson basin]

pluc you used a value of 2 for light blur?

[neat cedar]

wdym?

value of 2?

[crimson basin]

lol i think he knows

[neat cedar]

wha

I still didnt understand

nvm

[neat cedar]

road maintenance building for winter maybe?

[crimson basin]

wdymmm

[neat cedar]

tf is that

[crimson basin]

is that a thing

[neat cedar]

it is

lmao

[crimson basin]

does it snow where you live? 😭

[neat cedar]

umm

no

[crimson basin]

paint.net blur

[neat cedar]

Oh ur talking about one of the plugins?

Well Its probably a failed png that I will never ever touch again

[crimson basin]

night animation blur

wha

[neat cedar]

winter hotel for in a mountain?

[crimson basin]

you know i tried to do that

[neat cedar]

road maintenance vehicles as prop

snow pile near roads

Signs near roads that measure the height of snow

Im not sure if you know that

[neat cedar]

seems good

The first two floors have stone walls

which is realistic

[crimson basin]

not by kulche standards

[neat cedar]

Kulche just dont like any plugins

[weak kestrel]

What guys are you discussing, sorry for interference

[neat cedar]

But u need to take his advices

[crimson basin]

im making a winter plugin and could use ideas

[neat cedar]

road maintenance building and road maintenance vehicles props is a good idea tbh

[weak kestrel]

Winter frames for roads 😐💀

[crimson basin]

i think the left side roof looked fine except the right side roof looked terrible

[crimson basin]

ah yes slip and slide

could, could

[neat cedar]

I think there should be less snow than the right side since it faces more sun light

[orchid sorrel]

i dont rember

[weak kestrel]

You as road deco like slips and skids on roads drift stains on roads

[neat cedar]

she asked to me

[crimson basin]

i can make roads but not roads that alter behaviour

[crimson basin]

no iasked him

[neat cedar]

oh

Then why u act like talking to me

bruh

Im literally devastated rn.

That's the worst feeling

[crimson basin]

about the blur?

you asked me questions about it

i asked him if he used 2

[orchid sorrel]

are you delusional

[crimson basin]

pl

[neat cedar]

Well u didnt answer and I thought bunny were talking to me because she didnt even say anything about it

[orchid sorrel]

because i was busy making a shiddy meme

[neat cedar]

ok

[crimson basin]

i forgot what i was jsut doing

[orchid sorrel]

what is that arrow lol

[crimson basin]

i actually have no idea

it was there when i opened it

its been like months

[orchid sorrel]

same energy as not commenting code lol

[crimson basin]

its on the same layer as the roof

maybe it shows the direction of the snow

man i accidnetally reset my chrome theme and i cant browse forum in peace cause it looks weird 😭

i needed something from the forum i cant remember

[midnight obsidian]

that reminds me

i should remove all desktop icons

i'm the type that enjoys a completely clean desktop

[crimson basin]

maybe i could do this one

[weak kestrel]

I have ez for you

[crimson basin]

yeahhh no

i can barely get pluc to like normal buildings, hed hate this

[weak kestrel]

So you love to make very detailed things 💀

[orchid sorrel]

that's more normal than your propositions

[crimson basin]

i mean im probably not gonna make the whole thing here just take inspiration

[crimson basin]

me?

[orchid sorrel]

yes

😏

[crimson basin]

the building i assume

i like these colours, maybe ill make some tree frames, or maybe rtob would be interested but he probably wont get it done anytime soon, not that i would either

[orchid sorrel]

tree

tree(3)

[crimson basin]

pine tree

with snow frame

[weak kestrel]

Ain't so normal?!, it's unique

[crimson basin]

okay

you can convince gloria to make that 😅

okay not glorias choice of building

[weak kestrel]

Gloria 💀

[orchid sorrel]

he only likes concrete bricks

no glass allowed

[weak kestrel]

Then who will make that hotels 💀🤧

I think you're a good plugin maker If I'm not wrong, sorry if I'm really wrong 💀

[crimson basin]

but it doesnt look like a hotel 😭

modern architecture can dig a hole and die

[orchid sorrel]

it does

[crimson basin]

im sure evan would agree

[weak kestrel]

It's called Hotel des alpes

[orchid sorrel]

*proceeds to draw modern architecture*

[frigid tusk]

Hi I'm Evan, I agree

[orchid sorrel]

bunny moment

[crimson basin]

lol

modern innovative architecture then

that is supposed to stand out

[orchid sorrel]

that's why i told you to draw a generic residential building

so quit whining

[weak kestrel]

Check the name is TH Courmayeur.

[midnight obsidian]

no you couldn't

[orchid sorrel]

fr

[crimson basin]

pinetree palette?

[orchid sorrel]

looks horribly saturated

[midnight obsidian]

please spare my eyes

[orchid sorrel]

but i'd have to see it in action

[midnight obsidian]

(not like some of my other trees are also saturated)

in any case, it's about time i play persona 5 yet again

[orchid sorrel]

the first one does not scream "pine", it screams "piss after broccoli"

do not take that out of context please

[crimson basin]

yeah no this isnt gonna work

rtobby 🥺

[orchid sorrel]

top 5 personas:

[midnight obsidian]

look bunny

[crimson basin]

maybe i should eyedrop the tree instead of eyeballing it

[midnight obsidian]

i have an evil corporate overlord to defeat

[orchid sorrel]

please do not that's the worst idea you've had today

[crimson basin]

maybe i could also resize the tree and picelate it while im at it

[midnight obsidian]

don't do that

seriously

[midnight obsidian]

and i can tell that's a joke now

[midnight obsidian]

from the ones i have in no particular order: izanagi picaro, orpheus picaro, shiki-ouji, hell biker and kaguya picaro

jamming to okumura's palace theme

[crimson basin]

tree?

[crimson basin]

it wasnt

[midnight obsidian]

no

banned

[crimson basin]

okay there we go

pinetree

[orchid sorrel]

please go to bed

[crimson basin]

tree 😭

actually

[orchid sorrel]

it looks like a mangled topiary

[crimson basin]

maybe i can steal a christmas tree

[orchid sorrel]

[crimson basin]

wheres the christmas tree in the world texture

[frigid tusk]

I ask for rails too

[neat cedar]

U will start working on that damn plugin that I was waiting for?

[dusty hill]

forgot the details on the darker wall

i'll fix the right wall

[eager oriole]

You're starting good i guess

[crimson basin]

red roof is too bright i guess

and that right window make it 1x2

[dusty hill]

i didn't mentioned it's WIP

[eternal sail]

I think it looks like the real one, right?

[dusty hill]

anyway im fixing the building

[crimson basin]

guys

[neat cedar]

wha

[crimson basin]

forum post

[neat cedar]

ik but

tf is the point

[dusty hill]

bruh

[crimson basin]

to make city nightscape look good ig

[dusty hill]

Night anim isn't required

anyway, i did some fixes (made building have proper size, darker roof and missing details )

[neat cedar]

I use alotta plugins and half of them doesnt even have night frames

Also I guess that guy cant even make a good city to demand good night view

lmfao

[crimson basin]

as a plugin mod

youd get like 5 plugins a month if we did this

[neat cedar]

I also love how he said "its 2024 we need to be improved"

bro needs an improvement on his sense first

[dusty hill]

also the 2nd one next to it

[midnight obsidian]

yea guys it's 2024

why havent you added 3d support to your plugins

[dusty hill]

uhh, i did too small spaces between windows

[neat cedar]

lmao

[summer kestrel]

I need a 4D building in my game NOW!!

[neat cedar]

I call this breaking the limit of sense feature

add this to the game right now

[midnight obsidian]

from now onward, i will disapprove any plugin which doesn't have:

• night frames
• wind frames
• rotation frames
• polydiagonal frames
• polyrotational frames
• 3d frames
• custom lua code
• 1 pixel animations (the entire plugin must be made from one pixel by using animations with the "color" attribute)
• fun script
• shaders

[frigid tusk]

I need a rail texture

[neat cedar]

Use world texture

[frigid tusk]

there are not in

[neat cedar]

lemme take a look

[dusty hill]

guess it's just a joke right?

right?

[midnight obsidian]

if you see your plugin disapproved, direct all cries and complaints to [e-mail]

[neat cedar]

raised railroad texture is the only I guess

[midnight obsidian]

i'll let you decide yourself

[neat cedar]

I just call that skill issue

[crimson basin]

i tried doing the one pixel thing and i dont think ja wouldve been too happy if i made it a plugin

he said too many draw calls

[neat cedar]

bun bun

Xina is looking for railroad texture

[crimson basin]

all that and no snow

[neat cedar]

but I only see elavated railroad texture in world texture

may you help?

[midnight obsidian]

fine

• winter frames
• autumn frames
• spring frames

[neat cedar]

I assume these parts with red lines in the middle is the rail road texture actually. But they just seem like that

[crimson basin]

i think that is the firework thing

[dusty hill]

yea

cables

[neat cedar]

never used lol

[crimson basin]

but the one below are the turning frames for the rail

[crimson basin]

ive just seen the tutorial lol

[neat cedar]

Then where the hell are the rail road textures

normal ones

[dusty hill]

ok, i guess i finished them

[crimson basin]

no idea

cant find it in world texture

[neat cedar]

rip

I guess xina will have more work to do

there is a railroad decal plugin in store

might be helpful

[crimson basin]

kulche probably has it or can get from ja

[dusty hill]

also fun fact:
in 2012 these were uglier

they looked like this...

[crimson basin]

it cant be too hard to use those turning thingies to draw rails

[dusty hill]

thank god in 2013 it has got beter elevation

[neat cedar]

I guess Xina will make a non isometric one. So he can use ramp texture

[dusty hill]

the only 2 frames since i idk how the back looks like

[crimson basin]

i guess it looks fine

increase contrast?

oh nvm looks fine

[eager oriole]

Looks nice

But add a bit of noise. Well. Thats my suggestion

[dusty hill]

i didn't forgot abt it

[eager oriole]

oh. Sorry. i just realized

Its looking good

[dusty hill]

nvm

now these are finalized versions

[eager oriole]

Looks nice

[soft portal]

So I wanna get into making plug-ins but don’t know where to start

[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

[crimson basin]

try having a look through these links, could help

[soft portal]

I make pixel art as a side hobby so that will be easy

But the rest will be tricky

[eager oriole]

Oh. Welcome

[crimson basin]

plugin art is very different from typical pixel art so i do recommend looking through the agme style

[eager oriole]

agme style?

[crimson basin]

game

[eager oriole]

oh. I see

xd

[worldly sphinx]

Hey, I'm thinking of making road signs inspired from greece. However it will be my first plugin so I need some tips and some help for the code

[stoic palm]

@buoyant wren you can use any pixel art app for plugins

As long as it can do pixel art you can make plugins on it

[buoyant wren]

yeah i posted it in the wrong channel

alr

actually first time making a plugin imma find a reference image first

[buoyant wren]

how tall is one floor in pixel art

[civic marten]

Guys, can decals be animated?

[buoyant wren]

is this good so far

or maybe is it too bright

[buoyant wren]

finished now imma do the json and night animation

what file format do you guys use for plugins

[burnt bramble]

I would recommend de-saturating the color a bit

[eternal sail]

Beatifull

I loved the design of the window

Well guys, I have to tell you that for my pack of Mexican buildings I'm already at 11 buildings, my challenge is to get to at least 60.

[eternal sail]

I'll get it, I don't know

[eternal sail]

and at least one building from each state in the central part of the country

[eager oriole]

[eager oriole]

thanks

[honest girder]

I though that was a solar panel

[eternal sail]

in fact it seems xd

[buoyant wren]

actually what even is this supposed to be

[eager oriole]

an alien house or something like that

[civic marten]

Guess the building

[eager oriole]

An octagonal skyscrapper with red windows??? :0

[civic marten]

I'm color blind or whatever, but I don't see red at all 💀

Guys,Do you know how to create a plugin that can make money per month?

[buoyant wren]

the cheesegrater would be a cool name

[eager oriole]

I was joking

[civic marten]

Nah bro,just kidding

[eager oriole]

XD

[eager oriole]

hmmmm Nice

[civic marten]

How good look like this building?

[civic marten]

Don't let Zack King see this in real life💀

[eager oriole]

Zack king? XD

[eager oriole]

hmmm

[buoyant wren]

cant believe he made 100 floors in 1x1 tile!11!1!1!

[eager oriole]

XD

imagine

[buoyant wren]

yyeah it would break the game

[buoyant wren]

one police plaza

[buoyant wren]

1x1 hospital number 2

[civic marten]

Yeah,But 16 x 16 size 💀

[buoyant wren]

gras

[eager oriole]

soooo the limit isnt 8x8?

[civic marten]

Nope

The size is the same as the map size💀

[eager oriole]

WHAT?

All this time i thinged it was 8 the limit

[civic marten]

Cheese🤤

[buoyant wren]

you mean

[civic marten]

Small piece of cheese for Caseoh

[dusty hill]

nope

[sleek thistle]

Mega Cube from saudi?

I've done with Hindu Temple (Dravidian Style) from singapore. But about vimana and gopuram are tricky for me to make it and not expected

Sri Mariamman Temple, Chinatown, Singapore

[crimson basin]

i little too much

[dusty hill]

does the game already supports .ttplugin

[crimson basin]

yes

[civic marten]

Nope,That small piece of cheese for Caseoh

||Of course that mega cube form Saudi||

[sleek thistle]

Ohh mukaab

[civic marten]

Yep

[dusty hill]

ok

but i forgot where i can convert it

[crimson basin]

covert what?

youd require a zip file

then you can dm pidroid

Pencrypt-plugin

[agile forum]

Please provide the plugin zip file as an attachment.

[orchid sorrel]

https://forum.theotown.com/plugins/export

[static pollen]

He can now ?

[crimson basin]

i have done it

[dusty hill]

i prefer to pin it

[orchid sorrel]

prefer?

[dusty hill]

wait

ehh

anyway just pin it

for easier access

[orchid sorrel]

maybe if i feel like it later

[weak kestrel]

Are you adding more varieties??

[static sandal]

They’re just new decals

[neat cedar]

Pretty useful for a lot of things

Nice decals

[weak kestrel]

Add some monuments as a update, not just columns but human statues and etc

[dusty hill]

HOW

[frigid tusk]

Maybe rewrite the name or check for spaces

[orchid sorrel]

you probably forgot the extension

or they don't match

[dusty hill]

uhh

ok

anyway, seems everything is fine

but i forgot shadows...

[crimson basin]

make that entrance black, unless that is a white door

[dusty hill]

it's a white door

[orchid sorrel]

it looks bad

you should use a more contrasting color

[sleek thistle]

Hello.. may i help all of you?.. how pixel for marina bay sand skyward? Still confusing

[dusty hill]

anyway, how could i make a night anim for the other frame of building

[orchid sorrel]

what do you mean

"frame": index?

[dusty hill]

i mean in the night anim editor plugin

[eager oriole]

What do you mean with too much?

[crimson basin]

Too much sheen

[orchid sorrel]

no idea i don't use adt

[buoyant wren]

still looks like a cheesegrater

[eager oriole]

yeah

now i like it more

[buoyant wren]

guys idk what to do with the roof helpp

pls

[orchid sorrel]

probably use actual lines

instead of random scribbles that aren't even straight

[buoyant wren]

ok

[dusty hill]

ok but how could i make these lights move separate so they wouldn't move together with 2 other

[orchid sorrel]

why the outlines

[buoyant wren]

on the roof?

[orchid sorrel]

yes

[buoyant wren]

idk thats the only roof i can make in pixel art

[orchid sorrel]

add more animations

[dusty hill]

you mean, more layers?

[orchid sorrel]

no idea how the plugin calls it

yup it's layers

[covert root]

Excuse me why in the heck is this like this now when it should be correct

[eager oriole]

You write in the json weight and hight: 2?

[covert root]

Yes like this

[eager oriole]

hmmm

[neat cedar]

its about axis

xyz

if you know

[eager oriole]

Its an animation?

[orchid sorrel]

ah yes 3 axes in a 2d game

[covert root]

I don't know it's inside the baseplate

[orchid sorrel]

show the json

[neat cedar]

I forgot

damn

[neat cedar]

Get into the json and lower y axis until it touches the ground

count the pixels
