Nice

[hardy anvil]

Wip commission

Last commission

[dusty hill]

so this is Times Square building

[remote herald]

Tree2nd

[crimson basin]

blurry

whats up with the shado

[next willow]

So I'm really new to theotown and Don't know much about plugins so Is it okay if someone could explain them to me and let me ask questions?

[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]

This here will explain a lot

but dont be scared to answer questions!

making plugins can be tricky at first, most of us have been there

[next willow]

Well there's a building I would really like to see in my city but I dont know how plugins work or anything

[crimson basin]

which building is it?

maybe theres already a plugin

[next willow]

Kugane Tower

[crimson basin]

so basically theres the plugin store and forum plugins
plugin store plugins can be downloaded from the in game plugin store and you just need to restart the game to activate them
forum plugins require you to doanload from the forum and move to your plugin folder to make it work

[next willow]

Hmmm

[crimson basin]

There isnt a plugin like that but youre free to make your oen or suggest in #plugin-suggestions (but it doesnt mean someone else will make it)

[next willow]

True but I don't have the skills to make something like that

[crimson basin]

if youre making it for yourself, nows a good time to start and learn as any. If youve got some time, dedication and patience, it will become easier

[next willow]

Well thanks for the encouragement

[cerulean cove]

South tower incoming lol

[next willow]

To be honest I didn't think anybody even knew what I was talking about when I said "kugane tower"

[covert root]

Are letters correctly?

[hardy anvil]

Yes

[crimson basin]

imo, o looks bigger than the rest

[hardy anvil]

KOLMIKULMA

[covert root]

Hehe yes thanks you I try make o different maybe

[next willow]

So does anyone have a nice centerpiece building plugin recommendation?

[neat lake]

Ahh making "o" is quite hard maybe like this?

[remote herald]

i did it on purpose and also i made the shadow slightly angled

[haughty moth]

Japan

[remote herald]

wwo

[covert root]

Thanks it's maybe good now

[remote herald]

stray pixel

[haughty moth]

Lool

I'll fix it.

[remote herald]

trees

[midnight obsidian]

Do not blur them

Number one rule of making trees - do not blur trees

[glacial ocean]

Guys What plugin yall recommend?

[crimson basin]

services expansion

[safe ocean]

if you need police expansion, very biased but LAPD headquarters haha

today's tree practice. Critique welcommed

[remote herald]

nice

[safe ocean]

thank you friend

[crimson basin]

i like them

[safe ocean]

Updated High Line frames

[crimson basin]

looks okay

very cutesy

[safe ocean]

hmm, just ok.. gotta step it up more haha

I want to add the elvated road bridge segment so can cross roads

and maybe add some with the special things the HL has like the platform seats and such

[frigid tusk]

i've never done a plugin with such quality

and i've never done metal sheets

[safe ocean]

You've capture the radius well, wow

[hardy anvil]

What are you making now?

[crimson basin]

looks like a station?

[hardy anvil]

Like a warehouse

[frigid tusk]

Apex legends inspired industrial-things-idk-what-will-be-that-sht-but-idk-i'm-doing-whatever-gets-out-of-my-head

there are almost no futuristic plugins

so let's get out normal and let's touch futur

[hardy anvil]

Ah cool

[frigid tusk]

mastering metal

Small design

[safe ocean]

Love it. That will look really cool

[hardy anvil]

It should be able to fall into the cyberpunk category.

[frigid tusk]

maybe

i fell into the curveness of Hydroponics and Humbert Labs

Oh no Red Cross! UN will ban Theotown!

Georgia?

some technique for curves

[crimson basin]

mm stone

[orchid sorrel]

stone????

[midnight obsidian]

I see that you're just like me

Sometimes i get so into the plugin making progress i just can't help but share every single step i take

[frigid tusk]

Yes

[frigid tusk]

Stone??

[crimson basin]

sorry, grey plastic

[quick cradle]

Working on making some statues

[cerulean cove]

Noice, I guess will see if light gray pillar bring certain vibe xd

[crimson basin]

maybe increase contrast

[hardy anvil]

4 Time square

[lavish sail]

Oh yeaah

Sunbeam at night

[cerulean cove]

I like that ball is glowing xd

[hardy anvil]

[lavish sail]

Pretty nice tho

Even 'merica is there

[hardy anvil]

Lol thx

[royal magnet]

Whats the name?

[crimson basin]

pretty sure some if not all are private

[hardy anvil]

2 Private
2 in store (Forgot the name)

#plugin-showcase message

[hardy anvil]

Cool

The details

[magic pike]

Thx

[golden hare]

I think I'll leave 1 and 3

[dusty ocean]

I suggest v1 and v2

[rich whale]

We should have the old Times Square buildings, the times tower where the ball drops had a beautiful facade

[dusty ocean]

just a question, how do you do this type of messages?

[uncut acorn]

Ooooh

Coool

[echo lotus]

Quiz:
is this church or mosque

[rich whale]

Looks more like a town hall idk

Church’s are more long, not wide, mosques have a middle eastern type of architecture

This looks classical or a renaissance type

[cerulean cove]

I like v3, still prefer slight dark red tone

The random noise of shadow on window e.g. on left face I’m not too sure, it prob fit glass wall better but not sure the straight solid wall, only personal thought*

V2 is noice as well, front face bit shallow or less variant compared to v3, but also good xd

[cerulean cove]

Very interesting, I wonder did they tear down and rebuild new one or it’s a renovation, if renovation then alas the 1st pic building cause it is really noice

[golden hare]

Yes, in fact I used this plugin to experiment more with shadows and see what results it gave me, I still have a fondness for the first version, I like that I stay retro

[rich whale]

No, I’m pretty sure the original company that occupied the tower moved out and sold it in the 60s, then the company that bought it stripped out the facade and replaced it, over time it started getting billboards put on it, now they’re stripping the facade again and spending half a billion dollars on it, and it’s not even the original facade they’re restoring. Missed opportunity

[cerulean cove]

Isee xd, np it’s just personal thought, and final decision is always yours, it’s a great plugin 👍

[cerulean cove]

Ahhh got it, very interesting xd! It’s sad it won’t restore, but also prob with all the billboard the facade not gonna show much xd

[golden hare]

Of course, any recommendation is appreciated.

[cerulean cove]

Those shadow is definitely interesting, kinda cool experiment xd

[humble iron]

#plugin-suggestions message average plugin suggestion

[glacial galleon]

2 god

[glacial galleon]

Will you make it a night light?

[golden hare]

I plan to publish it in a pack of plugins, later I will investigate to put lights on them

[dusty ocean]

Excuse me, does someone here have a template with all possible specifications that a plugin can include in the code pls? I can't find information online.

[hoary night]

Old south Russian building

[orchid scroll]

That's a mosque

Sultan abu bakar mosque

[remote herald]

Unfinished

[haughty moth]

No

It's long and difficult for me.

[glacial galleon]

Jsjsjsjs
It's really not difficult

Whenever you want, I can make you the lights of some accessory. I have no problem, friend.

[remote herald]

finished

wait

[neat jacinth]

Whow

[neat jacinth]

Damnn

[echo lotus]

it’s actually a mosque

[static pollen]

Add noise, at least in the Roof

[remote herald]

i did add some tiles and stuff

[haughty moth]

Oh, thank you very much, I would really appreciate it if you could help me with the night animation code.

[slender briar]

today is the day i finish this

[golden hare]

looks pretty good

what football stadium is it?

[slender briar]

rheinenergie stadion in cologne

EFFZEH KÖLLEE

damn cant finish no plugins, my hand is too bandaged for using a mous

[neat cedar]

That's clean🥶

[uncut acorn]

The roof seems to be an illusion right there

[slender briar]

Kinda

Inner roof has a slight down tilt

[orchid sorrel]

I don't see any illusions here

[midnight obsidian]

Kulche does not have bnuuy syndrome 👍

[safe ocean]

wowww this is awesome

[crimson basin]

what did i dooo

i love kek buildings

[midnight obsidian]

You're the one who sees the most unrelated thing in any plugin

[crimson basin]

i do not

i see things that are there

[midnight obsidian]

I will not forgive the "playground"

[crimson basin]

but you made a playground

[midnight obsidian]

I did not

[crimson basin]

this isnt yours?

[midnight obsidian]

I'm not talking about that

[robust quarry]

What are those plugins???

[modern parrot]

The lower one is private and the upper one I don't know

[ripe jasper]

literally all of those are private

no doubt

[hardy anvil]

Finally

Bruh I see something left there
I will fix it

[rain gate]

A heart ♥️ left

[lavish sail]

"You look lonely... I can fix that" aah building

[hardy anvil]

Maybe I should make a hologram of Joe
And put sound effects "You look lonely... I can fix that"

[hardy anvil]

I mean the animated one

[lavish sail]

oh

it will be hard

[hardy anvil]

Yes, it will definitely take up a lot of frames.

[lavish sail]

you sure you want to do that?) You actually can just recreate some really nice blade runner's building instead

[hardy anvil]

Maybe
My estimate is that will take 100+ frames for smooth movement

[eager oriole]

I LOVE IT

[hardy anvil]

[charred skiff]

new plguin

[midnight obsidian]

talk about copyright violations

but looks cool

[lavish sail]

something copyrighted?

[static pollen]

So everyone is making cybertruck

[midnight obsidian]

trademarks

netflix and stuff

[lavish sail]

oh

just change a letter in it :)

[safe ocean]

My friends.. it is ready

[static pollen]

Building forest bridge over Forest is next level 👍

[safe ocean]

Introducing the High Line haha

Are you familiar?

[orchid sorrel]

I feel like the colors are too bright and saturated

I'm pretty sure I shared my bush palette some time here

maybe you can try to get a bit closer to that

[safe ocean]

Dang, Last review was they are too dull..

happy to adjust though

Or maybe it's meant to be a glowing "stitch" to a city haha

I could probably add a filter over each frame to balance it

[static pollen]

Enable gray mode and bye bye saturation

[hardy anvil]

Yes, I did it on purpose and didn't care about that, because it was private.

[midnight obsidian]

ah

alright

[lavish sail]

i see promblem only in those two colors, anything other looks normally

...or other colors just look nice because these two

try to change them tho

[safe ocean]

walkway surface, and light green of shrubs I believe

[lavish sail]

yep

[safe ocean]

I will update a few segments and put in here for some feedback if that's ok?

[lavish sail]

ok

[charred skiff]

is the indent in the edge looking simillar to the reference?

[lavish sail]

reverse shadows

[sullen apex]

You should add another shadow in the middle

[charred skiff]

i know, i just made shadows to understand how the shape should be

it is just testing, shadowing is not made yet

[midnight obsidian]

scale is off, too big

[charred skiff]

the building?

[midnight obsidian]

yes

[charred skiff]

it is also big in real life

theotownian near it

real people near it

[midnight obsidian]

i'd make the windows like 6 pixels tall at most

[midnight obsidian]

either way then your windows'd probably have to be wider if you're making them that tall

[safe ocean]

Updated the first three frames. How does this feel?

[charred skiff]

hmmm yeah

[crimson basin]

is that misaligned?

[charred skiff]

why it is not looking cylindrical when i look at it?

[orchid sorrel]

because it isnt

[safe ocean]

[crimson basin]

well one of them submitted the times square one on the store

[charred skiff]

my friend helped me to make it cylindrical

[crimson basin]

disapproved for copyright ofc
(are you okay with them being submitted to the store?)

not

[safe ocean]

Will Fix, thank you for catching!

how do you feel about color @crimson basin ?

trying to nail that down before I edit 16 frames haha

[crimson basin]

i dont

[hardy anvil]

Yeah but it's not mine It already belongs to someone

Btw which time square and which part is copyright, I will tell him

[crimson basin]

cocacola

[hardy anvil]

Ahhh So that's it

[crimson basin]

i dont remember the other ads

but from the preview

[hardy anvil]

Linktree to?

[safe ocean]

@orchid sorrel does this feel a little better to your eye?

[orchid sorrel]

maybe? the greens are still kind of off

[hardy anvil]

For Coca-Cola, I see the brand a lot in game store.

[charred skiff]

this thing with night animation will look insane

[sharp kettle]

i love this

[glacial galleon]

Beautiful!

[glacial galleon]

Ok, whenever you want, talk to me in private and I'll make you Lights and Codes

@crimson basin @orchid sorrel
What should I modify to make it OK?

[crimson basin]

i do not want to be pinged, thanks

Sorry Bunny, I realize I've tagged you as well before. I won't in the future!

[crimson basin]

no, its fine if i was actively helping you

[quick cradle]

Should I publish it?

[crimson basin]

curious, what are they

like i know they are statues

but what are they

[eternal sail]

It took me a while to make the building but I've already done it (it literally took me almost a week)

[safe ocean]

Plugin is submitted! I realized my preview PNGs were the quality of the game and was showing blurry 🙈 so may have a couple coming live soon.

[safe ocean]

I like the play on the undulating window panes

[eternal sail]

Looks great

[eternal sail]

Thanks

[safe ocean]

Big shoutout to @crimson basin and @orchid sorrel for the help. Happy to be a part of the community

[eternal sail]

I liked it quite a bit, the only problem is that I exaggerated a bit the use of the green color when originally the building was gray. :v

[safe ocean]

does (Pixly?) give you the opportunity to select a color and adjust to a new tone?

I've been using photoshop for mine so far and am not as familiar with Pixly

[crimson basin]

good enough for a new plugin, i feel like im seeing inconsistencies in shadow width though

[crimson basin]

not that i know of

[safe ocean]

Shadow widths in the preview?

I tried to get them to all line up and pulled some horizontals off the columns

[crimson basin]

yeah, probably my eyes deceiving me, haha

[quick cradle]

Depends, some are Saints, Kings, Normal people, generals, etc

[crimson basin]

cool, you should

i like them, looks nice

[quick cradle]

Thanks

[safe ocean]

Yes I agree. Would love to create a park and use those spread about.

[lavish sail]

custom GUI i made

[dire light]

Looks really nice

[lavish sail]

Some volume and almost-realistic coloring, goodnight everyone

[quick cradle]

What is it?

[lavish sail]

Something

Just an animation for now

Itll become smth cool in future i hope

[rain gate]

Good night 💤

[crystal veldt]

hello

[eager oriole]

Nice

[eager oriole]

great

[dusty ocean]

How can I improve the monument? (I already know that the shadow doesn't fit)

Original monument

[safe ocean]

The detail on this is amazing. Maybe make the shadow horizontal off the edge to fit within the limits of tile you have?

[cerulean cove]

Beautiful, I like the color choice xd
Maybe can make this part 3D

And maybe some minor geometry alignment of circle around middle and top

[dusty ocean]

Something like this?

[safe ocean]

Yeah!

Think the sun shadows come from left to right and from top of item down at 45 degree angle. Obviously the shadow will be off page but it suggests it

[dusty ocean]

Ok ok, I like it

I submitted the other one before, if it gets approved I'll change the texture ASAP

Thanks for your recommendation pal!

[dusty ocean]

I'll try to do it tomorrow for sure

[safe ocean]

No problem. I am in the process of learnign so I don't know everything but am happy to share a few tips i've learned 🙂

[echo lotus]

Hm

Crooked

Are there any strong plugins that are effective in stopping pollution and noise pollution?

[weak kestrel]

[rocky birch]

This is so beautiful and cute at the same time

[blissful basalt]

o k

[lavish sail]

m a g i c (lua, actually)

[crimson basin]

Its not really isometric

[hardy anvil]

Can I see the lua code?
For me to learn

[crimson basin]

@weak kestrel you do not tell people to suggest to specif creators, how many times do you need to hear that we do not encourage that at all?

[crimson basin]

You havent really done much foe shadows and highlights for the roof other than a grey outline. And let me tell you, that does not look good up close. Please learn to create proper shadows and lights to create depth. Also what are those lines, why do the lines on the side of the stadium look that way

[lavish sail]

Im in middle of forest rn

So no for now

[weak kestrel]

What ??? Sorry I didn't get it ?

[weak kestrel]

Baku building, look good 👍🏻

[hardy anvil]

Ok, DM me later

[crimson basin]

you pinged someone in plugin suggestions to ask a specific creator to make the stadium, didnt you?

[weak kestrel]

Ohh that yes like he said can someone make that, and I said him that ,that person can make if he will free cuz that person makes only stadiums from south america

[crimson basin]

and youd been warned twice for asking specific creators

what makes you think telling someone else to do something we dont allow is okay

[weak kestrel]

Ohh sorry, i really don't know, otherwise why I do that , sorry

[uncut acorn]

Dude don’t force them to make the stadium your suggesting

And if you really want some plugins you have suggested so far, why not make them yourself?

Plus, plugin creators can delay their newest progress in their plugins sometimes

[strange cloud]

It's not that hard making plugins nowadays.

[uncut acorn]

I won’t be rude but bunny’s got a point

[weak kestrel]

I'm not forcing 💀, like I asked him asked him long time ago , and he said I'm just making stuffs from South America

[uncut acorn]

Yeah but somehow large can make them hard

[uncut acorn]

Don’t do that next time.

[crimson basin]

if i see you doing that again, youre getting a timeout

you already have 3 warns relating to this

[safe ocean]

Thank you. It was fun to explore in making it.

[dusty ocean]

The monument is hexagonal

[safe ocean]

Looking at this again two things popped into mind. If it is centered on the platform and the sshadow is hitting the right edge at 90, it should look like this little sketch where the points each end of shadow touch the top of the platform should be symmetrical. Another thing that popped up to me was the shadow will drop when it crosses the elevation change like I’ve shown here in red.

Sorry for quality. I can try to sketch irl if this doesn’t make sense.

[dusty hill]

still isn't that good...

[safe ocean]

Yeah that really emphasizes the contouring of the platform

[safe ocean]

What do you think might help it?

[dusty ocean]

What would you recommend?

[dusty hill]

diagonal segments should have other shading than the darker side on right

just transmission between shadows

[remote herald]

remake (unfinished)

[dire light]

Procreate my beloved

[dusty ocean]

wdym?

[dusty hill]

smth like in this fail

(Kulche and Bunny suffered while seeing that i made)

[dusty ocean]

And the correct way to do it is?...

[dusty hill]

anyway, you can see this fail, but at least there is good transition in upper part

[safe ocean]

I like this

[dusty hill]

later i recolored this

and it look like this

but it was comeplate change of reference

[orchid sorrel]

using your graphics to teach people is a horrible idea

[dusty hill]

but yea

might cook smth later...

[orchid sorrel]

the whole plugin is very mid and the geometry doesn't match up at all

(talking about that blue monument thingamabob)

[dusty hill]

ok

[crimson basin]

not what i mean by not isometric

[remote herald]

Old and New

(sorry for repost)

[dusty ocean]

?

[dusty hill]

not like that

just pick the brigh color and make it darker, but lighter than shadowing

[frigid tusk]

[wise gust]

Houses for a very big future plugin.

[eager oriole]

Yaaay

[crimson basin]

cute but i think youre putting too much noise

[midnight obsidian]

noise on the template 😩

[wise gust]

Probably. I use paint.net for that i use 30%. I ve the impression that with less they might look too plain.

[crimson basin]

noise should be almost invisible

[wise gust]

OK. Thanks for the advice.

[crimson basin]

try maybe like 15

[wise gust]

Thanks they look much better

[lavish sail]

@hardy anvil I won't send you the code now, because at the moment it is made in a very bad way due to my experiments. I will finalize it in the near future and try to send it to you after all

k?

[hardy anvil]

K

[weak kestrel]

So cool and too much good

[weak kestrel]

Gorgeous, I like 1st one 👍🏻

[eager oriole]

Nice

[cerulean cove]

Noice, why I feel I know where it is as well xd

Your choice of building is really ny vibe xd

[dusty ocean]

Ok I checked all the tutorials and can't figure out what's wrong, help ;-;

[hollow raptor]

Work in progress (soon!)

[crimson basin]

your perspective angles are inconsistent

[frigid tusk]

some more

[hollow raptor]

Very cool

[cerulean cove]

I think prob geometry wise at least those need to be parallel

[dusty ocean]

Explain pls

[crimson basin]

your base is sometric the rest is as if you were looking at it from its height

in isometric view, youre basically getting a birds eye view

youre like a few feet above so you see the parts on the top etc

[dusty ocean]

But it looks like that in real life

[orchid sorrel]

"like that" like what

the image and your frame are completely different

[crimson basin]

yeah but you see, that isnt very isometric

[orchid sorrel]

this image has nothing to do with isometry

[crimson basin]

who came up with non isometric and can you please coin a new name kulche so being non isometric and non isometry is different

[orchid sorrel]

???

uhh diagonal??

I'd say not grid based or something

[dusty ocean]

I'm not understanding a thing

[orchid sorrel]

we didn't even explain anything

what do you not understand

[dusty ocean]

The difference between isometric and isometry

[orchid sorrel]

there is none

one is an adjective and the other is a noun

[crimson basin]

i was talking about the buildings between the normal view and diagnal view which people call non isometric and actually build not isometric

[eternal sail]

Thanks

[golden hare]

I will make a vault of fallout 1

[lavish sail]

wow

its feel nice and wrong in same time

some small issues with perspective

but VERY nice shading

[golden hare]

The door will be a really hell

Thanks

I guess the problem is this part

[lavish sail]

maybe

[golden hare]

I have to see how to improve it, then I plan to detail the back part by putting a mountain on it

[lavish sail]

i cant imagine perspective of this door in isometry myself

[golden hare]

We'll have to see what can be done haha

[safe ocean]

This picture shows the viewer looking at the object with a perspective view, Isometric is like parallel projection, so there is no vanishing point per se and the viewer is looking down on top of the object whatever it may be.

[safe ocean]

@dusty ocean you aren’t too far off save for a few adjustments if you’d like me to offer a couple thoughts? I’m no expert but may have a few Pennie’s to share

[lavish sail]

Now it looks really exciting

[junior night]

Zm

[crimson basin]

lol

[hollow raptor]

Pls rate

[hollow raptor]

It's a collaboration between rozewald (now heyo57) and me.

[crimson basin]

first time im hearing rozewald in a long time

the roof should cast a slight shadow on the part of the building right underneath it

on the right side of building 2 and 3

as well as on both left and right of building 1

looks very european though

[dusty ocean]

Don't worry jaja, I'll keep the plugin for myself, thanks

I wasn't making any comedy so my intentions were not to be funny

Also what are you talking about

I'm not very good at drawing Night Animation so this is all I can draw :((

[hardy anvil]

Can I get the Zip file?
I want to check

In DM

[hollow birch]

Did I split the nightanimation texture in two parts properly?

[hollow birch]

Maybe I'll redo the nightanimation

[dusty hill]

i saw what you deleted

[rain gate]

Does anyone know the plugin for these three buildings?

[rain gate]

I forgot to use the translator.

[crimson basin]

no, the point is to remove as many empty space as possibel. so to crop the sides and top/bottom as much as you can

[rain gate]

There is no plugin for this?

[hardy anvil]

Why is the frame divided into 2 parts?
Why not just 1?

[hollow birch]

Did I split it into three parts like this?

[hardy anvil]

I don't think that's what her mean.

[crimson basin]

crop the sides and top and bottom

use x and y coordinates to align instead of using the empty space

[hollow birch]

I divided it into four parts and cropped the excess outside.

[crimson basin]

perfect

good job

[hollow birch]

Thanks for showing me :))

[crimson basin]

learning to make a tree

[willow aurora]

Yes like this
I see other plugin has pathway like this but small black stairs

[hollow birch]

Is there any way to fix this? I need a formula to calculate the X,y axis :((

[crimson basin]

x moves to the right

[sharp hare]

there is, its in store

[crimson basin]

-y moves the animation up

[sharp hare]

they're quite small tho

[rain gate]

But I need the name

[crimson basin]

Looks like ai is pretty accurate

how to make a plugin

[frigid tusk]

what

[crimson basin]

Design Your Plugin Image:
You’ll need an image for your plugin. You can draw it using a drawing program like Pixel Studio. To make drawing easier, consider creating a grid for the base of your plugin.
Position your plugin on the grid so that its outermost pixels touch each step of the pixel ladder by half. This ensures alignment.
When your drawing is almost complete, remove the remnants of the grid and crop the picture precisely along the edges.
Create a Plugin Folder:
Visit the Plugin Creator website to get started.
Fill in the following settings:
Manifest ID: Leave this unchanged.
Version: Set it to 1.
Name: Choose a name for your plugin.
Description: Describe your plugin briefly.
Author: Your name or nickname.
Select draft type: Choose the type of plugin
Click the arrow to open additional settings.
Frames: Add custom frames by selecting images from your files. If you have different views (e.g., regular, winter, night animation), add frames accordingly.
Width and Height: No need to change these.
Level: Choose any level.
Optional attributes: Select relevant attributes (e.g., for non-residential plugins).
Finally, click “Export as zip archive.”
Unzip and Check Your Folder
Unzip the downloaded zip archive.
Inside the unzipped folder, you should find:
Images for your plugin
A manifest file
A JSON code file
Editing the Manifest and JSON Files:
The manifest file helps TheoTown identify and manage your plugin. You can edit it if needed.
The JSON code file contains information about your plugin). Customize it according to your plugin’s features.
Explanation of Coordinates for Animations:
If you’re adding animations (like lights or banners), you’ll need to understand the coordinates for different views.
Refer to tutorials or guides for specifics on animation coordinates.
Adding Your Plugin to the Game:
Copy the entire plugin folder (with images, manifest, and JSON) to the TheoTown/plugins folder on your device.
Launch the game, and your plugin should be available for use!

Nice (I'm talking about the plugin above)

Would fit in futuristic cities or eco-districts

[remote herald]

how do i add animations to plugins

I’m confused

[orchid sorrel]

and what part do you not understand

[crimson basin]

Instead of having all the lights light up, do a few

[remote herald]

Adding the animations

[orchid sorrel]

that does not explain anything at all

refer to the animations tutorial and tell me what part are you stuck on

[hardy anvil]

Very cool

[safe ocean]

I think you may be on to something. I thought it was the edge of the atrium, thus being illuminated all the time, but I believe there are offices/units on the edge

so would look better to vary it

and then the atrium part sticking through would be illuminated I believe

[crimson basin]

oh you fixed the roof! :D

[safe ocean]

You are right, only partially illuminated on edges

I can make that adjustment

[crimson basin]

also instead of having a flat colour, you can have other colours too, cause some objects inside can obstruct light to different extents

[safe ocean]

good point

[crimson basin]

theres this one creator who does it very nicely

i cant remember who though

[safe ocean]

Meaning like textures on colors i.e. the roof being all one maybe vary it?

[crimson basin]

wdym

[safe ocean]

did you mean flat colors for the lights?

not all being full light per se?

ah yes you did, I misread it sorry for confusion

[crimson basin]

not all being the same yellow

not different opacities

maybe some darker spots in dark yellow

[safe ocean]

I see I see

I appreciate the input and advice! I like learning

[crimson basin]

youre welcome

im still learning myself

[safe ocean]

Tweaked a little. Played with color values, could probably push it a little further.

The name of plugin please

I experienced a problem where i’ve got a diamond code to redeem from pidroid bot, but when i put the code it doesn’t reedem

and i haven’t used them before

[strange cloud]

Solution: Make sure you'd only copy the code. Not the whole message.

[quick cradle]

I did

But it doesn’t still redeem it

[strange cloud]

Make sure you'd only copy the bold text

[quick cradle]

I copied only that

I haven’t copied anything

[willow aurora]

I search plugin like this

[strange cloud]

Stairs?

[strange cloud]

Do you share the code with someone?

No

the fact is this: I copy only the cose and put it in the redeem bar, when i click on ok, the window closes

Well then it's probably server side issues. As it sometimes can happen.

[safe ocean]

@cerulean cove Question for you, Is it intuitive in The High Line plugin that the "bridge" segment only spans across roadways? I don't have custom frames for turning corner/intersection/etc and wonder if people may be stuck on there being empty space

[remote herald]

coolness

[cerulean cove]

Woooo I love this pack!!

[safe ocean]

Holy wow these are amazing

[cerulean cove]

Yes I notice that, I think T-cross is at least needed, full cross prob not

[cerulean cove]

Another thing I still think over the road is better done by road decoration instead of a bridge is, when crossing the road and turn, a pure bridge cannot do it, also to build bridge it need 2 tile around road to be bridge as well, so those segment have to be the bridge part, instead of the custom part

Could check out this plugin, it’s over road section is by road decoration, which I think is better solution

[safe ocean]

Forgive me if I misunderstood, you were saying you like the elevated aspect instead of at-grade correct? I am going to add the T intersection and maybe cross, I just know the "straight" segments of the bridge component only have the boring straight away

I think people may be trying to build the whole thing using "bridge" and it doesn't have the other decorative walk tiles (narrow segment/etc)

[cerulean cove]

Xd yes that depends on how people want to build it

[safe ocean]

@crimson basin can a bridge/road attribut contain more than 16 frames to vary the segments that are straight?

[safe ocean]

Fair, maybe I just include it and if people want that way then they can

[cerulean cove]

This refer to cases where I want to use customized elevated segment or corner segment but I can’t, and I have to use bridge

[safe ocean]

thank you for the feedback

[crimson basin]

theres i think 3 straight parts

look at the road frames

[safe ocean]

yeah that's where I was stuck. I want to be able to vary the look and if it's just the straight "bridge" attribute will only get one "type" of straight segment

[safe ocean]

yueah

I will add the 'T' Intersection. Thank you!

[cerulean cove]

I made this earlier, one is for T-cross, one is for height. But I think height prob is good, it’s ok either way xd (compared to in game elevated rail)

[cerulean cove]

No prob 👍🏻

[cerulean cove]

@safe ocean this is what I mean by above. By using bridge, highline can never do what the right pink plugin can do, with that corner turn segment being a customized segment instead of a (same look) bridge segment. If you try you will get it

And road decoration you only need 2 drawing (if you are always crossing road, not along above the road)

[cerulean cove]

I personally think this 2 building should at least have similar height or in similar height scale xd. Irl they are both quite tall building

And by comparing to other building in the pack, the left yellow circle one prob need to be higher

[golden hare]

You are absolutely right, I made the smallest one before I got used to sizes when designing my plugins.

But to be honest, I'm exhausted by the idea of redesigning it, so I'll exclude it from the pack for now.

Although there is still a long way to go before I publish it, I want to make a few more buildings, right now I am looking into making the New York City Hall.

[cerulean cove]

Could include it and later update it xd, it’s a noice building even so

[cerulean cove]

Wow noice! You are completing NY by a lot xd

[safe ocean]

One railing to fix but looking good!

[cerulean cove]

Looks noice! 👍

[safe ocean]

Bummer is, if you build using only that feature, you only get that type of straigth segment

[safe ocean]

On and I see another corner I need to adjust

Oh boy

[cerulean cove]

Try out that pink foot bridge plugin, it might help the thought xd

[willow aurora]

I think only me used like this plugin but the only change the small stairs with black fence

Case #5248

votom0683 has been warned: Repeatedly posting the same image multiple times a day in different channel

[safe ocean]

right, but it only has a path with railing

[cerulean cove]

Over the road part right?

[safe ocean]

Yes, but the high line spans the road too

if I"m understanding correctly

[cerulean cove]

Then when off the road, it can connect to a straight or corner or anything, and all of them are custom segment (straight or corner)

I thought that is what you preferred

[crimson basin]

please stop asking, we do not know, you can try making your own

[safe ocean]

yes, after you cross road, you can turn immediately left/right

[cerulean cove]

With custom segment, not with bridge part (in pink plugin)

But in highline, to make that turn, it has to be a bridge part, instead of custom segment

[cerulean cove]

Hmmmm how do you have the custom corner there xd

I will need to try
