[lavish sail]

Soooo

Use Lua™

[boreal charm]

AAAAA

[lavish sail]

Or wait

[boreal charm]

Not lua

[orchid sorrel]

why on earth would you need lua

[lavish sail]

He wants to add animation for each frame of the building

Its possible?

(random frame)

[orchid sorrel]

"frame": index or "frames":[indices]

[lavish sail]

@boreal charm

[echo lotus]

omg, it kinda is

[cerulean cove]

Is it me or I feel this one is a big jump from the last graph lol

Different level of color to represent the circle wall is quite not-trivial I feel. Is that by hand or there is some tools or algo can help with that, like draw a column with that effect and choose the change of color?

Btw very interesting to see the process of making plugin xd

[echo lotus]

looks cool 👍

any suggestions?

[hardy anvil]

✝️

Maybe a little texture

[slender briar]

Damn thats a lot of churches

Love it

[cerulean cove]

Make some color variant so that it could be a pack (but for sure not crazy color lol

[echo lotus]

gonna put a criss cross

[echo lotus]

thx for the suggestions

[weak kestrel]

White and grey varient with kinda sandstone colour ig

Cool I like it

[orchid sorrel]

looks pretty nice

[cerulean cove]

[urban grove]

[lavish sail]

Huh

[crimson basin]

A privileged key is no longer a thing

we just put requires privilages and the game account does its thing

[lavish sail]

Huh?

[crimson basin]

basically

privigeled plugins work differently

[lavish sail]

wdym work differently? Like, how plugin supposed to become privileged now

[crimson basin]

yeah

differehnt codes

but you dont get a key anymore

the game checks if your account is privileged instead

something like that

[lavish sail]

Uhhh

Then how account become privileged?

[crimson basin]

https://pca.svetikas.lt/docs/guides/privilege-system/#post_11173

[crimson basin]

same as before, you apply for it

[lavish sail]

Oh got it

Not much has changed, but thanks anyway

[cosmic lion]

Does anyone know this plugin, it's so noise, i want delete it

[crimson basin]

Show your plugins

I forgot the name

[orchid sorrel]

dusko car

bottom text

[verbal topaz]

What are some good Victorian home plugins?

I really need some Victorian homes for my little town I’m making

[cosmic lion]

Idk where this vehicle come from, i dowload too much plugin

[gray apex]

If anyone wants a model of a sphere drawing, they can use this mini sun I made for a public square of mine.

(have 34x31 pixels)

[charred skiff]

what is a good percentage of noise to add to a plugin?

[orchid sorrel]

around 15 more or less depending on the texture

[charred skiff]

bruh

[charred skiff]

13%

[frigid tusk]

that's a bit too much noise

[charred skiff]

yeah

i know

1%, 2%, 3% which one looks better?

[weak kestrel]

Obviously the 2nd one

[charred skiff]

okay

so now what should i add to make the whole thing better?

[weak kestrel]

Check mallow's church and check your and check what you need to add

[charred skiff]

his curch is modern but mine is old

so

[weak kestrel]

Hmm then add shadows ig

[weak kestrel]

And add more dark spots some where

[charred skiff]

the church that i painted was made in 524 year 💀

[charred skiff]

wdym?

[charred skiff]

okay

[weak kestrel]

Like this

[charred skiff]

hmm okay

it is not looking that good

or is it?

[quick cradle]

What plugin is this?

[covert root]

Its my plugin its not available anywhere yet

[quick cradle]

Ooh

[hoary night]

Moscow cottages

[quick cradle]

nice buildings anyway

You’re the same that made the tower, right?

[covert root]

Me?

[charred skiff]

is it looking good?

[covert root]

If you mean me, what tower

[quick cradle]

The one that wasn’t approved

[covert root]

This?

[quick cradle]

Yes

[covert root]

Yes I made that with downscaling style and remade some spots, (but I don't do that anymore)

[quick cradle]

Have you other plugins published?

[covert root]

Yes these

I have two other buildings pending approval too

[quick cradle]

I seen the blue one

You should try making some churches

[covert root]

Maybe sometime

[charred skiff]

that Finnish cafe is your plugin?

nice

[covert root]

Yes

[charred skiff]

i use it in my city

[covert root]

I'm glad to hear that thanks for using:)

[charred skiff]

you can see it here

[charred skiff]

np, nice plugin btw 👍

[covert root]

Thx😁

[charred skiff]

btw i needed corner building to finish the park with buildings, but in that addon there was no building for that corner so i used the main building of your cafe plugin

[charred skiff]

as you can see here

[covert root]

That's nice:)

[charred skiff]

how can i make shadow for this?

[charred skiff]

if it will look good, it will be the next plugin

[charred skiff]

the reference

[orchid sorrel]

what on earth am I looking at

[orchid sorrel]

uhhhh

do you not love it when newbies choose the most complex reference conceivable as their beginner plugins

[midnight obsidian]

okay arent you going too grandiose with this

[orchid sorrel]

you literally barely even know geometry and want to draw this?

[charred skiff]

yeah

💀

[midnight obsidian]

first plugin hope you like it

[crimson basin]

#plugin-suggestions message :(

[orchid sorrel]

literally

[crimson basin]

latvia wanted to send me to hell

[charred skiff]

i just wanted to challenge myself

[orchid sorrel]

doesn't sound like a good idea

but you do you

[crimson basin]

youve got some complex shapes here

not what youd typically want to start with

start out with easier shapes and get the basics like colour correct

and if kulche calls it a box

its fineee

[midnight obsidian]

getting geometry right should be a good challenge for you

[orchid sorrel]

literally just do a properly scaled 2x2 single family house or something

should have enough stuff for you to learn a lot

[crimson basin]

birb

[charred skiff]

what color should windows be?

[orchid sorrel]

dark, desaturated blue

or bright, desaturated blue

[charred skiff]

i want to make something complicated, and something that is from my country

[orchid sorrel]

I'm not stopping you

[charred skiff]

okay, thanks

[orchid sorrel]

it just won't be good

[charred skiff]

if it will be not good i can just do something else and when i will have skills needed i can just remake it

[orchid sorrel]

sounds like a rather roundabout way to just progress normally

[charred skiff]

yeah maybe

[midnight obsidian]

sure would be a shame if i had made a guide which has easy tips and tricks to make your plugin look better

[orchid sorrel]

imagine doing your own research

[crimson basin]

personally i dont like making super complicated things is because they need so much more detail and like halfway id lose motication

[charred skiff]

but i kinda like how it is looking rn

[midnight obsidian]

i personally like bright blue box

this does not look theotown

[crimson basin]

takes me a whole day for a complicated 2x2 - because i get distracted but also ee

that entranceway doesnt look very round

[orchid sorrel]

doing buildings pixel by pixel is a surefire way to get disappointed lol

[crimson basin]

i personally like to do a rectangular door first then build an arch by stacking pixels in middle

[midnight obsidian]

literally what i did every single time with my fachwerk stuff

[orchid sorrel]

yeah because it was just patterns on the walls

[charred skiff]

yeah

[midnight obsidian]

fair point

[charred skiff]

some details

[crimson basin]

that blue looks not fitting 🤔

[charred skiff]

on the top or bottom?

[crimson basin]

top

[charred skiff]

but it is the same color as in real life

maybe i can desaturate it

to looks more fitting

is it looking better now?

[charred skiff]

wow

nice

[charred skiff]

daaaamn dude

💀

Ppunish 1097478814264729640

[agile forum]

Case #5221

geigerops has been warned: We do not joke about terrorism here

[charred skiff]

bro got warned

[orchid sorrel]

guy really thinks we can't see deleted messages

[charred skiff]

yeah 💀

[crimson basin]

i just deleted

[orchid sorrel]

oh cool lol

[crimson basin]

Yeah just had to pop out to see his history

[charred skiff]

guys, how is it looking?

is the blue looking good now?

[crimson basin]

no

[charred skiff]

why?

[crimson basin]

also

your lighting is incorrect

[charred skiff]

i know i will fix it, it happens cause i use the mirror mode enabled

[crimson basin]

the right side is correct

[charred skiff]

after i will finish it i will do the correct shadowing

but why the blue is looking bad?

[orchid sorrel]

I guess it's alright

[charred skiff]

yeah cause the color is simillar to the reference

[charred skiff]

only shadowing left

[eager oriole]

There is a tag for lights have probability?

[glad lynx]

Just reached over half a Mil downloads a few days ago.. 🥳 , 2 years after! my first plugin on top

[buoyant orbit]

Hmmmm

You should work more of whatever you want to do

[eager oriole]

Congratulations 🤯🥳

[buoyant orbit]

It's looks like a cartoon

[eternal sail]

well i think i will make this building

[glad lynx]

thanks..

[crimson basin]

random frame probably

"random frame": true

[buoyant orbit]

I suggest to do something cooler

[glad lynx]

came a long way

[buoyant orbit]

It's not very good if you ask me

[eternal sail]

Congratulations, I hope you achieve more in the future. 🥳

[eager oriole]

good. I have a suggestion, make it an animation for it to be a taller building. It will help you and it will save space

[crimson basin]

Thats a very vague statement

[eager oriole]

But it doesn't need more frames?

[crimson basin]

Plugin creators make what they wish

[buoyant orbit]

"If you ask me"

Sorry, but my English is not my first language, so my vocabulary is not very big to explain what I am going to say.

😿

Trying my best

[eternal sail]

I don't know how to do that 🥹

[crimson basin]

when you define the animations you can have an empty pixel frame and use that as a frame

[buoyant orbit]

Also, is this building from Korea or something?

[eternal sail]

Mexico

Lol

The building its from mexico

[crimson basin]

I do understand what you want to say

[eternal sail]

(It doesn't look like a building in Mexico now that I see it xd)

[buoyant orbit]

Lmao
That's why i ask

[eager oriole]

let me try it

[buoyant orbit]

It's looks similar

[crimson basin]

but we discourage asking certain plugin creators to make certain thing (unless they ask for ideas), but you can suggest some ideas you have in #plugin-suggestions and if someone is interested, they can do it

[glad lynx]

ngl I like the night anim that someone made for it.. looks sharp

also this first iteration

[crimson basin]

i was kinda concerned when i saw someone replying to a message from 2 years ago until i realised it was the creator lol

[glad lynx]

compared to the final..

[lavish sail]

Some buildings really made like that 😭

[hardy anvil]

Roof

[eager oriole]

like multiple frames?

[eager oriole]

cool

[lavish sail]

No.

Its

Roroof

[crimson basin]

yeah and use "random frame"

[eager oriole]

i'll try it again lol

[crimson basin]

so "frames": [{"bmp":light.png}, {"pixel":light.png}, {"pixel":light.png}]

so it would have 1/3 chance of having the light

or

wait

[eager oriole]

pixel??

[crimson basin]

"frames": [{"bmp":light.png}, {"pixel":light.png, "copies": 3}]

this would have 1/4

[crimson basin]

yeah so just a transparent 1x1 pixel

it wouldnt have a light so it wouldnt show any window etc

[eager oriole]

like this?

[crimson basin]

yeah and then do "random frame" true

theres probably a more conventional way to do it but my way would also work

[winter aurora]

I didn't know your NY buildings pack, gonna get that!

[glad lynx]

sure, check it out, def my favourite

thx

[boreal charm]

WHOA

[boreal charm]

mmm, intresting

[boreal charm]

perfect to the last bit, maybe a bit of noise at most

[glass jasper]

made this smoll european building

[humble iron]

Looks good

[echo lotus]

added depth

and noise

[uncut acorn]

all positive

[boreal charm]

Nice, but where's the building from tho?

Anyway i finished a Proton Waja

[weak kestrel]

@winter aurora can I ask why did you ping me ??💀

[uncut acorn]

He shows you the plugin and yet

[weak kestrel]

But why ?? I didn't understand??

[uncut acorn]

Just tell him

[weak kestrel]

Are you still make plugins ???

[echo lotus]

idk, it’s all made up

[cerulean cove]

Where is the touch of green 🤣 jk

[hollow raptor]

In general, is it theoretically possible to create a plugin virus? Which will simply stress the game and bring it to a crash.

[orchid sorrel]

yes

it happened before and you'll get banned for it

[hollow raptor]

Mmm. Thank you for the information

[uncut acorn]

||yes||&||no||

[charred skiff]

is it looking good?

[charred skiff]

lighting is now correct

[midnight obsidian]

no it's not

[orchid sorrel]

lol

nice 1 cm thick facade and nothing behind it

[charred skiff]

yeah lol

[charred skiff]

the view from the top 💀

[hardy anvil]

fence

[midnight obsidian]

mbmp be like

[charred skiff]

i found the reference image with a top view

[charred skiff]

the next building i want to draw after i finish this one

[rotund prairie]

Can someone help me get the zip file of this
https://link-center.net/360510/the-leaf-vrbp-v003
I coundn’t access this plugin on my country

[orchid sorrel]

I love paywalled plugins lmao

contact the creator

[crimson basin]

that preview doesnt even look like theotown lol

whoever thought monetising plugins was a good idea

[orchid sorrel]

leaf, apparently

[crimson basin]

did ja and lobby decide it was allowed?

i remember them saying it will be discussed

[orchid sorrel]

he's not affiliated with theotown, he can do whatever with his files

[crimson basin]

crazy

[livid agate]

We are of the opinion that if a plugin is shared on the forums, you shouldn't be required to make an account to download it. This applies only if the plugin is being shared on the forums.

[crimson basin]

so leaf link doesnt fit in this description or it does?

[livid agate]

1. do you need an account to download the plugin?
2. is it being shared on the forums?

[crimson basin]

is it being shared on the forums? no idea

but i dont think it requires an account

[orchid sorrel]

I'm pretty sure the only way to download those plugins is through that server of his

so we don't have any authority over that

which doesn't mean it's a particularly ethical thing to do

[humble iron]

It ain't paywalled

Just very annoying to get through

It requires you to click on idk how many ads

I have dealt with Linkvertise

It rubbish

[orchid sorrel]

"paywalled" as in he can profit from it

[humble iron]

Owh

His reasoning is that it shows that you supports him

Which is..... aight

[echo lotus]

third plugin for now

[surreal orbit]

first time making a plane plugin, i fear the windshield may be too big

reference

[boreal charm]

Then its brookhaven definitely

Is this building nice?

[echo lotus]

it would be nice if it was a diff colour (my opinion and also british)

overall, it looks good!

[hardy anvil]

Commission plugin
"Old church 1950

[stoic echo]

add depth to windows if possible add contrast between the two sides of the buildings and lower the value of the color of the mullions in your windows

[weak kestrel]

Hey jeffri, Allianz arena was also commission plugin, or your private ???

[hardy anvil]

Private only for me and my friends

If i upload it to the store, it will most likely not be approved.

[weak kestrel]

Why ?? Because too beautiful stadium 😁

[midnight obsidian]

why not try and challenge this claim then

[hardy anvil]

Maybe I'll try it later

[sinful meadow]

hello

[crystal eagle]

Good

[eager oriole]

Cool

[rain gate]

Hello 👋

[urban grove]

A nice stadium, would love to use it in my city. It's a shame it's only for you and your friends :(

[hardy anvil]

I will try to upload after I make a commission

[crystal eagle]

How is the Japanese package you were doing?

[hardy anvil]

I haven't continued yet

[fiery meadow]

Oh my god

[crystal eagle]

These plugins will also be commission or private, the truth is they are beautiful with good animations
Enviar comentarios

[fiery meadow]

I want this

Do you have a release date?

Oh

[crystal eagle]

In any case, keep it up, good luck!

[sly gulch]

do you guys use pixly to make plugins

[fiery meadow]

I read it now the rest

[hardy anvil]

Maybe I will upload it to KRI server (Later)

[hardy anvil]

Thx

[crystal eagle]

Amazing! You are a great plugin expert

[hardy anvil]

Not yet, but i will try to do it as soon as possible

[boreal charm]

Mhm

Idk what im going with this build

[hardy anvil]

Why did you put a + sign on the window?

My suggestion is to just replace it with glass.

[frigid tusk]

i think it goes pretty well

[wind jungle]

Can you also Add a Circus Zone ? A portal to hell idk something like that, like in Minecraft ?

[frigid tusk]

what

[wind jungle]

I mean A new plugin

[frigid tusk]

post your suggestions in #plugin-suggestions

[wind jungle]

Okay Thanks

[slender briar]

excuses

[hardy anvil]

My previous plugin was Not approved
That's why I haven't uploaded anything to the store anymore.

Another reason is because I'm just too lazy to update my plugins.

[crimson basin]

the reason why it wasnt approved is because it breaks on rotation

we require compositions to have rotation frames

[hardy anvil]

Yup no problem

I uploaded it to the store also because of requests from people on my server

Not for personal

[crimson basin]

you can do it how zaaron did it

2 rotations

which gets reused as the other 2

[hardy anvil]

Maybe later
There are many commissions that I have to make now

[slender briar]

Understandable, texture better or just please texture

[frigid tusk]

Alr back with it

I've never drawn that kind of letters and it's CLEAAAAN

[neat cedar]

that shi is so huge

but I think it would be approved if it comes out as a good plugin

[hardy anvil]

Biggggggger

[frigid tusk]

It's completely at scale

[fiery meadow]

Does anyone have or know where I can find this plugin?

[neat cedar]

world trade centre

on plugin store

[fiery meadow]

Ok thanks

[glacial galleon]

I feel like I know him but I don't remember.....

Although I think he's very big, right?

[frigid tusk]

Him who?

[glacial galleon]

What is the stadium

[frigid tusk]

Custom made

But inspired by Signal Iduna

[ivory fractal]

Finally a life-size stadium. You're doing great, congratulations.

[lavish sail]

this thing is humongous

[ivory fractal]

Because stadiums are very big.

[dusty hill]

imo, forum version by MDK_813 is better

[frigid tusk]

Nevermind, I lost the progression

[lavish sail]

is there any limits for plugin weight?

[static pollen]

1024

Pixels

[lavish sail]

what

i mean

megabytes

[static pollen]

I read height bruh

[lavish sail]

bruh

[static pollen]

Idk about MB

[lavish sail]

ive seen some up to 4 mb

[static pollen]

There's was one plugin that crashed once, the Munich airport

So the creator, vönark, made it in several parts

[crimson basin]

ive seen a GB pretty sure

[static pollen]

20MB

[crimson basin]

not sure if theres a hard limit

as long as the game doesnt crash

bokoblo how big is the nature plugin

or the sphere plugin

[lavish sail]

GB?

how.

[lavish sail]

4.6 mb

[static pollen]

another creator who makes heavy plugins is arragansit, it happened to me my game crash, but it was because I already had too many plugins and had thought it was okay to download several plugins with a huge weight

[static pollen]

Idk

[crimson basin]

eehe maybe not lol

[lavish sail]

if i got you right, just 460kb

[crimson basin]

bokoblo

how big was vonarks airport

[lavish sail]

"was"

lol

[static pollen]

Munich is more than 19mb

[crimson basin]

is? no idea

[static pollen]

Well it's still there

[crimson basin]

i just know it was big enough to make your game crash

soo 19 mb is pretty big

[lavish sail]

found out one by erionit that 6mb

oh god

[static pollen]

Erionit is arragansit

[lavish sail]

9.3mb

[static pollen]

Yeah if you download all his plugins your game may crashes lol

[lavish sail]

hm

what if

what if just make plugin only available on pc

[crimson basin]

velan if youre in the game, how big is the spehere plugins

[lavish sail]

i think it can fix any weight issues

[lavish sail]

#plugin-discussion message

Soviet residential by arragansit / 9.3mb

[crimson basin]

his plugins are insane lol, i delete his plugins like everytime after reviewing them cause i cant find anything else if i have them in the categories

dont think anything will beat vonarks airport

[lavish sail]

bet :3

[crimson basin]

actually

[lavish sail]

i just had fun with LUA API and maps, and found out that used map weight is really big

[crimson basin]

@livid agate whats the dsa filesize?

[static pollen]

I think it's because of the rotation aware, honestly I'm fed up with this useless thing, between having a bigger plugin and not being able to rotate the city I prefer the second option, unless I'm wrong about the reason for the weight

[crimson basin]

more graphics does have bigger weight

[lavish sail]

this city is 1.5mb

and, like, 7k lines of .city file

[crimson basin]

each pixel contains data

[lavish sail]

each tile i guess

[crimson basin]

pixel

of graphics

[lavish sail]

oh god

so i found out one more fact

[crimson basin]

my 1x1 pixel file is 120 bytes

[lavish sail]

fresh city with max curvature, decos, 3 biomes and water is just ~40kb

so i still can have fun with it

[crimson basin]

i thought we were talking about plugins

[lavish sail]

5 mb will be like 130 of them

[lavish sail]

its plugin thing

[static pollen]

My biggest city is 12MB if I make a zip

[crimson basin]

10 pixels by 13 pixels

[lavish sail]

game API contain City.load() or TheoTown.loadCity() command(?), so i decided to make smth with it

and yeah

[stoic palm]

after reading this I was interested. My plugins and managed plugins folders contain 457 MB of data

[lavish sail]

i found out way to hide drafts

as on moon

[lavish sail]

Evan is watching again

[stoic palm]

All publicly accessible plugins, I would hate to see how that'd look if I had private stuff lmao

[lavish sail]

just this funny thingy :/

[lavish sail]

you mean managed plugins?

[livid agate]

10 with .git folder

[stoic palm]

I said both lmao

[livid agate]

not 10 without

[stoic palm]

I meant both

[static pollen]

What about the old Evergreen plugin that was 16*16 or smth

[lavish sail]

oh sorry

[crimson basin]

is that in mb?

gb?

[lavish sail]

tb

[crimson basin]

lol

[lavish sail]

the game is under 10gb lol

how

[crimson basin]

I have 38 MB in plugins altogether

which is funny

evan has more than me

[lavish sail]

i barely play the game and my plugins is 54mb how

[stoic palm]

Seeing as I haven't played the game in years, yes it is funny xD

[crimson basin]

my whole theotown folder is 313 MB

evans plugin folders is bigger than my whole game folder

[lavish sail]

my one is just 240mb

i guess you have many cities

[crimson basin]

5.27 in local plugins and 32.9 on managed plugins

[stoic palm]

My whole game is only something like 750

[lavish sail]

"only"

[stoic palm]

I legit only get on to download plugins from plugin makers I want to support

[lavish sail]

awww

so

we didnt answered to question

i guess theres about no limit if player uses pc version

but on mobile

around 30 i guess

[crimson basin]

lately i only open the game for 3 reasons. Read plugin comments, test plugins (mine and store) and shutting down problamatic comment sections

and i always love how people are so non descriptive about plugin bugs

(i dont)

[quick cradle]

Where I can find it, cause I’m searching for cool churches

[crimson basin]

he said its a commision

hes making it for someone

so youre not going to get it

[eager oriole]

This is just a weird question but i didn't found something that is referenced to this: how i can make a planet? like the moon. i thing there is no way on how to make it

i just wanted to ask. not sure if i'm gonna do it

[lavish sail]

Lua.

[eager oriole]

oh

[lavish sail]

and even using lua its not that easy, so

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[eager oriole]

lol. any ways thanks.

[lavish sail]

np

[eternal sail]

I forgot to do the building last night lol

[eager oriole]

XD

[cerulean cove]

I know that one too!!!

It’s seriously missing in downtown xd

Man you are awesome xd 👍

And I really like the texture as well

[hardy anvil]

#commission
Wip

[weak kestrel]

Woohh, what's that ?

[boreal charm]

I trying to make it it neo classical

[boreal charm]

I was messing around with shapes and here is what i came up with

[lavish sail]

Rect on rect on rect

[trim blade]

Classic skyscraper design tbh

[orchid scroll]

Commission?

[hardy anvil]

Yes, why

[orchid scroll]

Damn

Theres actual people paying you to make plugins

[hardy anvil]

Yoi

[echo lotus]

suggest another stained glass design for my church

[cerulean cove]

That’s cool

I think no church plugin has the color glass yet, at least I haven’t seen

[shrewd sandal]

im not extremely sure if i can ask this or is this the perfect place to ask but is there a a plugin that looks like the MIT campus or something like it

[frigid tusk]

no but you can create it yourself or use other plugins as modular

[cerulean cove]

Blows my mind, I think we need some camera plugin lol

[shrewd sandal]

ohhh okay thank you

[glossy pewter]

I have used the right size

[lavish sail]

Not size

Position

[echo lotus]

what plugin is that

[lavish sail]

Photo editing

Its impossible as plugin u should say

[cerulean cove]

Yes what Velan said xd

[cerulean cove]

Theoretically it’s possible to have it in game, but prob not plugin but a camera mode xd

I hope devs could see this lol

[lavish sail]

Yeah

[echo lotus]

it would be cool if it was a plugin

[quaint wing]

Hallo

I want to know how to make a building pack

Cuz I'm trying to make Cypriot Village Packs

[orchid sorrel]

I told you to check the pins

plenty of docs there

[quaint wing]

Okay

I don't know where tf the thing is

The pins

[midnight obsidian]

on pc

on mobile it's a bit more convoluted

press on the channel name and then you'll see "members media pins links files"

tap on pins

[quaint wing]

Ty

[near flame]

another comission?

[hardy anvil]

Yes

[near flame]

cool

how much money have you make

[hardy anvil]

For now I only got us $20.84

[near flame]

hmmm

wait so

[near flame]

how many did your client pay you for this one

cause if that was me

i would make it costs $15

[hardy anvil]

$3,26
The exchange rate for each country is different
In Indonesia this is already quite good

[near flame]

i see i see

glad to see you are doing well

[hardy anvil]

Thx

[orchid sorrel]

how about you all pay me to work on ci

this could be a great model for us going forward

[near flame]

haha

that's funny

[hardy anvil]

[summer kestrel]

We should pin this message so people can find out how to go to pins

[hardy anvil]

Bruh

[lavish sail]

"how to open pins"
"refer to pins"

[crimson basin]

Maybe a ptag command

[neat cedar]

3 bucks?

Damn it aint bad

[safe ocean]

Hi all

New to the discord but have been making a couple plug ins. Is there any way to have a couple back and forths for plugins with team/moderators before uploading?

trying a somewhat challenging version of the high line with each segment having 4 views since it is rotationally aware and got some good feedback on first review.

[sharp hare]

Is there any coral reef rocks plugin?

like this

[crimson basin]

very cutesy, though the trees could be made better but its not bad

why dont the turning pieces not have connecting roads though

[crimson basin]

no, you can suggest in #plugin-suggestions

[safe ocean]

It’s intended to be like a bridge. The original it’s based off of looks like this below. But I do want to add a few segments so that may be good one.

[charred skiff]

bruh 💀

[lavish sail]

wth wrong with their names

uh

[charred skiff]

yeah

guess what plugin i am making

[lavish sail]

this f1 bildboard?

[charred skiff]

no

but you are close

[lavish sail]

stationar ad bildboard?

[charred skiff]

it is a small bilboard

[lavish sail]

i know

ive tried to do that one back ago

[charred skiff]

and what was the result?

[lavish sail]

like this one?

[lavish sail]

my lazyness

[neat cedar]

I've made that before

[lavish sail]

but ive i figured that not enough for entire plugin

[neat cedar]

I think max also made this or he were planning to

[lavish sail]

idk why but im lua enjoyer

thats odd

[charred skiff]

yeah

[midnight obsidian]

roller coaster tycoon vibes

[safe ocean]

So true. Such a good game. Was my OG favorite. Found myself making nice food courts and designs. Fast forward and now am a landscape architect so I guess it began somewhere haha

[eager oriole]

Dude that its very nice. just the trees and everything its nice

[safe ocean]

Much appreciated 🙏 got some massaging to do. Comment came back to use brighter colors so trying to figure that one out.

[crimson basin]

not brighter

darker

look at the in game trees

try to utilise those colours

[safe ocean]

Ah I misunderstood it I guess.

[crimson basin]

it says to use more colours

your trees have 2 colours

trees typically use 4

[safe ocean]

Ah ok.

Are you by chance the moderator? I’d love to mock one section up before applying to all 16 frames haha

That’s why I was hoping to have a little back and forth before resubmitting

[crimson basin]

i am one but not the one

[safe ocean]

Very cool!

[crimson basin]

i can give you feedback but i also have to go sleep soon

[safe ocean]

Oh you’re fine. Won’t be able to update till later tonight/tomorrow morning anyway.

Thank you so much!

[crimson basin]

youre welcome

others can also help you

[safe ocean]

Right on.

[cerulean cove]

Many and more ny plugin these days! I’m so haipeiiiii

[safe ocean]

This one is fun cause I can add segments.

[eager oriole]

How I make certain buildings spawn in my zone but not others? Like i have some residential buildings and i did a zone for them but i only want those to spawn and not other residential buildings.

in the getting started zone tutorial doesn't have how to do it

[cerulean cove]

Noice, it will be a rock plugin xd, there are so many stuff on it

[boreal charm]

im intrested in the building beside it

[hardy anvil]

Yes, it is like that
Tomorrow I have to work on different plugins again

[cerulean cove]

That’s kinda really professional 👍

[remote herald]

[hardy anvil]

Ey

[remote herald]

how do i make a fence plugin

help pls

[frigid tusk]

Check forum

[remote herald]

Ok

[safe ocean]

Good morning all. @crimson basin I changed up the colors on the bridge structure to be more gray and contrast with the greenery. Also updated ground plane colors for walkway to be more warm gray, and reworked the tree. Would love feedback you may have, or anyone!

wait, that didn't work well on the upload haha

[crimson basin]

id appreciate a higher quality screenshot

[safe ocean]

yeah let me work on that

obviously color changes would be reflected across all 16 frames

[cerulean cove]

Noice color change in the tree, is that by hand or help with certain color change algo? (Just curious xd

Something I can think of, I think some part of highline, is building on this kinda metal bridge, which has that dark green vibe, either is maybe oxidized bronze, or certain anti-corrosion paints

Which usually is used as base for rail and metro bridge

[safe ocean]

oo I like that

I can play with that for sure

[safe ocean]

I grabbed a tree PNG and withdrew colors from it to make my own tree. So it isn't the original PNG just saved down.

[orchid sorrel]

picking colors from real life photos is never a good idea

the texture itself looks alright but there's some work to be done on the colors

[safe ocean]

Understood. Do you mean selecting certain swatches and color ID’s? Usually when I hand render or paint irl I have three shades I work into a tree or plant. If there was a palette that would be great to have

[cerulean cove]

Np 👍 the plugin is really noice already, no need to change color if it doesn’t help xd

[cerulean cove]

Ahh got it, smart xd

[safe ocean]

Definitely want to make it as accomodating as possible with mods and such. Here is a side-by-side of the new colors with old in background

[cerulean cove]

And I like that stairs really! Xd

[cerulean cove]

Wow, nice pick, I think it looks great 👍

[safe ocean]

I keep forgetting to ask, I was hoping to try and make a segment that can span roads. Is it possible to make that where the roads built by the game can exist with plugin above?

i saw some mentioning of a bridge component in other forums but wasn't sure if it was an category/attribute.

[cerulean cove]

I think prob need to make that piece as road decoration? But better listen to pro here

But I guess there prob is choice of cross road or along the road, and also night animation could go wrong (in the pic) about orientation

[orchid sorrel]

you just have to learn color theory and get better at picking colors

you might want to take a look on the world texture

[safe ocean]

Well based on this tutorial, feel like I got pretty close.. general colors from foliage, light hitting on left and shade on right?

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=3970

I can see in the trees right above our message there is a ton of variation in lights darks instead of massing darks

so I can practice that

[orchid sorrel]

that's a very specific technique from a very specific plugin creator

[safe ocean]

I see

[orchid sorrel]

and yes your trees are very smooth

[safe ocean]

Maybe pruned too tight 🥴

I’ll practice some more. Thank you!

[midnight obsidian]

A noteworthy thing about trees is that independent of any angle you look at them, there will be leaves facing all possible directions

This means trees should have a rather rough texture since there will be leaves that are turned away from the sun and will appear darker

Consider them naturally noisy (but don't go applying automatic noise to them please)

They aren't as uniform as buildings would be

[eternal sail]

Beatifull

To advance the Mexican buildings pack that I haven't advanced in days I will make this building that seems to be 1x1

[safe ocean]

Very helpful and I do appreciate that perspective! Looking forward to practicing more types

[midnight obsidian]

no problem

[midnight obsidian]

tree review

those are some pretty decent trees

maybe the stem could be thinner

maybe the lighting looks a bit odd though

[safe ocean]

This is amazing

[golden hare]

Thanks, I feel like when I move my plugins from pixly to the game the quality goes down, but I really don't know.

this is how it originally looked

[crimson basin]

maybe youve got a shader on?

[safe ocean]

@crimson basin did you have any thoughts on the snips shared in addition to tree edits?

[crimson basin]

i read what rtobby and kulche said and i agree with their opinions

[orchid sorrel]

probably just your eyes messing around with you after you added several completely different colors around it

it just happens

[golden hare]

I'm afraid that's not it, but thank you very much anyway.

[orchid sorrel]

an artwork on a black background will look completely different than the same artwork on a white background

[golden hare]

I see...

thanks

[crimson basin]

hey kulche

wanna see my new building

[orchid sorrel]

sure

(please don't be eye straining)

[crimson basin]

its not eyestraining

but you wont like it

[orchid sorrel]

looks alright

but why the pinkish tint?

[crimson basin]

purple

[orchid sorrel]

same thing??????

[crimson basin]

because purple, dont you get it by now pluc

[orchid sorrel]

wow it'll look exactly the same as pastel pink

now

what is that building

[crimson basin]

modern poor people castle for spoiled little girls?

[orchid sorrel]

[crimson basin]

okay ig spoiled and poor does not work in the same sentence

but it looks kinda frilly

and princessy

but is small

[orchid sorrel]

my brother in christ

you made it pink

[crimson basin]

purple*

gonna make it taller probably

[orchid sorrel]

ok let's settle on windsor lavender then

(I have no idea if that's remotely correct)

the height is alright i guess

[crimson basin]

looks accurate

[orchid sorrel]

but I have no idea what that building is gonna be anyway

[crimson basin]

private 🗿

[orchid sorrel]

[crimson basin]

sowwy

so i was thinking of having some billboardon the right wall for the funnies and having it show funny images

[orchid sorrel]

try to create a serious plugin challenge

100% fail

[crimson basin]

its one of my buildings that shouldnt and wont ever make sense

[crimson basin]

oh comeon :(
real plugins are boring

i dont know how these people do it

its much more fun when its non committive

[safe ocean]

Thanks. So it’s in the direction of using more colors as mentioned in comment correct? I will continue to refine trees and such.

[crimson basin]

yes

you should trust kulche more than me

:3

i misinformation sometimes

[orchid sorrel]

"sometimes"

[crimson basin]

a little then?

[safe ocean]

I appreciate it all! Sorry to join and immediately be a nag. Just want to learn

[crimson basin]

nah youre fine

we love helping

especially if people take the advice

plus, we could always use some more plugin creators and the only way to do that is by encouraging, helping and passing knowledge

[lavish sail]

more plugin creators to plugin creators god

[orchid sorrel]

??

[golden hare]

I was able to improve the textures, thanks for the recommendations, they were very helpful!

[midnight obsidian]

i think kulche meant that sometimes is an understatement

[neat cedar]

The color is still a bit odd

[orchid sorrel]

the random gradients are not exactly pretty

[midnight obsidian]

it's pretty good in my opinion

but yea kulche does have soem wise words here

[orchid sorrel]

yeah the building itself is fine

it just looks weird

the gradients that is

[neat cedar]

There is an american buildings pack u should take a look at it

[midnight obsidian]

kulche you should check out my erkcraft base :

:3

rtobby's erkcraft base plugin

[midnight obsidian]

[frigid tusk]

I'm making an Apex Legends-like building

Another skyscraper? Or nice skyscraper?)

[frigid tusk]

[neat cedar]

Fr we need futuristic buildings

Good idea

[frigid tusk]

See "Humbert labs" for reference

[lavish sail]

Can you pls send a photo

[frigid tusk]

I'll do a lot of buildings inspired by E-district

[neat cedar]

Damn thats nice

[crimson basin]

[crimson basin]

[midnight obsidian]

[lavish sail]

Roof feels wrong

[quick cradle]

I’ll change it lol

[lavish sail]

[quick cradle]

I added the decoration, hope it looks a bit better

[lavish sail]

I mean

Shape

Wrong

Unsolid or smth

Proportions wrong

Dark side is way bigger than light part

[quick cradle]

It’s for this line maybe

[lavish sail]

Nooooo :(

Other way

Make light part bigger

[quick cradle]

Ok

[golden hare]

It's the shadow of the main door

[quick cradle]

Wich door?

[midnight obsidian]

yes, rule 14 (which is only visible to the people under the name of "rtobby") states that use of the color purple is prohibited in this server

[lavish sail]

Whats abot my pfp

[midnight obsidian]

[lavish sail]

[crimson basin]

[uncut acorn]

Cool. New yorky

[eternal sail]

It looks beautiful, I NEED IT

[cerulean cove]

It could be the background is green now

Try turn the land to winter, is it better?

[cerulean cove]

I think som color go well with both white and green, some color don’t, maybe could change the color a bit. Currently with green it feels a bit dark/grey on the building, my personal thought

Maybe it lack a bit contrast when compared to green

[cerulean cove]

Maybe add some red tone into it like below ones?

[remote herald]

does anyone have a 2x2 baseplate

[stoic palm]

Check the pins

[golden hare]

I will try with a light brown

[cerulean cove]

looking forward to the result 👍

[cerulean cove]

But also another info that it might not be an issue just for reference, most of time to use the building, background won’t be green, it’s either some other building, or some decal that people prob will not choose green asphalt lol. Only exception is tree, but they usually have better green compared to the default green land

[golden hare]

👍 👍

[lapis moat]

@dusty ocean -> #plugin-suggestions message

While yes, you are somewhat correct, the WTC does exist on the plugin store, but they want the Marriott, or WTC3, as opposed to just the Twin Towers, in which we already have

I personally want to see all 7 - 8 buildings made, and maybe even the WFC

[dusty ocean]

My bad

[dusty hill]

WTC 3 exists, but it's very bad

also keep on mind there is a version made by mdk_813 that i personaly prefer than these oversized versions

[cerulean cove]

Which WTC is this plugin? And is it on forum or store? (I didn’t find mdk

[remote herald]

Tre

[dusty hill]

it's on forum
