[cerulean cove]

But as long as it solve that problem the it’s great 👍🏻

[safe ocean]

Ahhh I see what you mean. If you delete the portion of “bridge”segment after the turn, it changes to a straight segment instead of custom. It may just need to be the preset straight segment once corner turned then Can be custom.

[cerulean cove]

Yes

You can’t make both turn to be custom corner

But the other plugin can, with road decoration

[safe ocean]

I will check that one out.

I appreciate the time @cerulean cove ☺️

[cerulean cove]

No prob, it’s a great plugin xd 👍

[safe ocean]

So I updated it and included the custom staircase as the "ramp" down if people choose. So you can now start at a road and "slope up" using the bridge feature to bridge level

[cerulean cove]

Wow, that’s a nice one xd

It can apply to one end as irl

[safe ocean]

New standalone custom segment as a T intersection

[cerulean cove]

Noiceee

[dusty hill]

guess i did the shape now

hmm

also broke the doors lol

[crimson basin]

i thought those were stand in colours 😭

kulche will be hearing about this

[lavish sail]

Make it less saturated

[lavish sail]

Leeess saturated

[muted pecan]

is it possible to make a zone that only spawns buildings of a certain level? thinking of making an "affordable housing" zone that only spawns T residences

[lavish sail]

Technically

[dusty hill]

?

[lavish sail]

Less

[muted pecan]

please elaborate 💀

[lavish sail]

This one i guess
https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=5268

[muted pecan]

no, i'm asking to see if there is a way to ensure that the zone only spawns buildings of a certain level

[crimson basin]

you can

[muted pecan]

i know it's possible to make zones that spawn RCI and already studied the content_zones.json

pog

[crimson basin]

so basically what you do is, youd make a custom zone, right?

[muted pecan]

ya

[crimson basin]

and you would make your own buildings and make them T

[muted pecan]

do i have to add the ids individually 💀

[crimson basin]

and while doing the drafts you add the zone

[wheat pebble]

Is there a plugin for the swansea stadium? (I'm trying to recreate a zone in my city)

[crimson basin]

you dont plan on making your own buildings?

[muted pecan]

no

i'm just making a zone

[crimson basin]

so which buildings would you be using

[muted pecan]

thinking of making it so that it spawns any residential buildings that are built automatically in regular RCI zones, but only those that are level 1

so like, the base-game residential zone but just for T homes

also kind of wonder how the game determines which buildings are "dense" RCI

because the zone definitions in the public json doesn't say

[crimson basin]

using build height and like the size and also people

[crimson basin]

you can ask kulche when he wakes up

or you can ask on the forum

[muted pecan]

guess i'll do that

[naive juniper]

Where can I find images of the vanilla cars from the game on the forum? I'm going to use them as decoration on my plugin.

[stoic palm]

The world texture should have them

[rain gate]

does anyone have age of sail plugin dl link?

[dusty hill]

arghh

maybe i should freaking desaturate it so will be a freaking concrete block without any color

[lavish sail]

Try)

You gcan download from github, type age of sail github

Although all non plugin store versions are pretty broken (and you cant get a plugin store version anymore)

[near flame]

Yeah the algorithm features plugins and plugin mods can feature plugins they like too

[remote herald]

Which shadow is correct?

can someone help?

[crimson basin]

i personally do the 1st one

and its not a shadow

its more of a ledge

like you know the wondow engraved inside the wall

[remote herald]

yes i know

but idk what to choose

The 1st one is correct but the 2nd one looks better

[crimson basin]

1st one imo

To make it feel more realistic

like irregular grass

[crimson basin]

[crimson basin]

i mean grass doesnt vary that much

its really downsized

[warm patrol]

I try to detail each building as much as possible so that they are as similar to the original as possible

[hardy anvil]

You said you stopped making plugins

[warm patrol]

There is another historical house, but I still haven't finished drawing it, due to lack of motivation, and also problems with the roof.

[warm patrol]

I wanted to stop, but I realized that I simply couldn't live without it.

[lavish sail]

bruh

[hardy anvil]

[urban grove]

I know

[wise gust]

Should keep the white lines in the corners or no ??

[crimson basin]

Remove them

[orchid sorrel]

would be better if it wasn't 100% white

and if it was geometrically correct

[wise gust]

Yeah, I know I ve been correcting that in other houses.

[cerulean cove]

Really noice 👍 only not in my rotation xd

[safe ocean]

As in view?

[remote herald]

cool American houses

[cerulean cove]

Yes I think it will not be rotation aware, and this is the direction I have to put it in my city xd

But that’s not an issue xd, I will take plugin as it is. Thought it would be nice to leave a space that can connect road from the southeast side as well

I think this point will do, nw xd

[safe ocean]

Ahhhh I see

Dang I messed up 😂

Could you imagine a rotationly aware version.

Would be cool. Many hours haha

[cerulean cove]

Nooo any direction is valid, and we (player) should work with plugin, not other way around

[cerulean cove]

To my understanding, rotation aware will be much more work, especially a complicated as this one, so no need for that

That’s why I mention if leave a connectable level on southeast side would be more than enough xd

It will also help if any other player need to connect to it from that side, so could be a nice to have xd. And no matter this point, the plugin looks great, looks beautifully detailed 👍

[crimson basin]

Personally not a huge fan of those supports

[safe ocean]

Like the irl design of the park?

Was replicating it here. Curious as to why they chose that. Maybe was an affordable route to get the park built

[midnight obsidian]

that looks almost ai-generated

[safe ocean]

Wait I thought of something, you know you can rotate view on map right? Sorry I know it’s a dumb thing to ask

[safe ocean]

It is wild.

I reduced the amount of supports too

[crimson basin]

It kind of needa many supports for its weight, but i mean your execution, your beams look rather inconsistent

[cerulean cove]

You will gradually notice, in TheoTown you don’t rotate map, since almost everything will break xd

Some example lol, even this is better than a chopped yacht lol

But don’t worry about plugin rotation aware, i think no need to change plugin direction for sure
I think the best solution is to leave a connectable level that can connect to a bridge on 4 side if possible, so that it can be used by as many players map as possible, because they can do something about it

This? But I didn’t use it, so not sure how it is

[charred skiff]

i know this one

but it looks like absolute trash

it is not even looking like bike line

[cerulean cove]

That happens sometime lol

[charred skiff]

yeah

[charred skiff]

guys, is there a good diagonal fences addon?

[crimson basin]

yes

well

uh

[safe ocean]

@crimson basin I played around with supports. I think this is getting in a better direction

Still need to tweak but I like this better

[crimson basin]

ask pluc when he wakes up , im not entirely sure

[safe ocean]

Talking to me?

[crimson basin]

(kulche)

yes

you did ping me afterall

[safe ocean]

yes. Sorry the response "I'm not entirely sure" sounded more liek a response to a question above

i forgot to reply to that guy

i got distracted and completely forgot

[muted pecan]

bro i didn't draw these frames, i literally just used "steal" for the frames of trees in the game

i can reduce the speed but i'm not gonna waste people's texture space for my simple little tree plugin just to adjust a freakin shadow because a plugin store mod doesn't like how the shadow of the tree frames in the world texture jiggles a bit

again, this is how the "waving trees" look in the base game, i literally just used steal on the frames. if you don't like how the shadow looks go yell at the devs 💀

[cerulean cove]

We now have 2 Seagram building xd

well store rule suggests an in game backhround.
I feel like the dark blue background really takes away from the beauty of the crane

once you fix the preview, ping me and ill instantly approve it, granted that you dont change any other files

oh do you mean for the shadow part? thats interesting

[hardy anvil]

Bunny can you help me for this #plugin-discussion message

when you do something right, people rage, when you do something wrong, people rage

I feel like I have yet to see an actual nice response concerning a plugin store issue

[hardy anvil]

ah ok
I will tell him

[crimson basin]

actually @hardy anvil

i think i approved and disapproved the wrong one, tell him to resubmit the times square again

seems fine

that was a human error on my part

[hardy anvil]

Okey

so basically

any feedback for v1 was meant to be for v2

v1 was fine

v2 isnt

have them fix v2

@orchid sorrel was talking with bunny on this yesterday and said to ask you, any feedback/thoughts on this one?

[orchid sorrel]

I'd say the colors are too bright

not saturated, but bright

[safe ocean]

I see, I could definitely agree there now seeing it more mobile and not computer. I think it’s the Naples yellow ground and that green for the grass, I can try and tone those down.

[static pollen]

Trees are fine i mean I saw those trees irl

You may should make ground shadows for people and trees

[safe ocean]

I just realized I may have accidentally erased a majority of the shadows. I had them in there I’ll have to take a look

Thank you for pointing that out

[stoic echo]

I would advise you to texturise the ground and the pillars

[stoic echo]

And add contrast between the ground and the trees
Just thought I'd give my two cents

[safe ocean]

That could help fix the flat look of the surface. Definitely appreciate that @stoic echo

I felt happy with capturing the contouring

The amphitheater was fun to do

Tried to balance not adding too much contrast btw ground and trees. Didn’t want to give off it being more bright or even saturated than is. Texturizing went a long way.

Tried some night lighting but will need to soften the ground lights that’s cast from above (wasn’t till now I noticed how the roadway lights do it.

[midnight obsidian]

i hate to break it to you but it looks like someone spilled molten steel all over your park

[static sail]

it was me, my bad

[safe ocean]

Hahaa. For the lights? I hate when that happens 😂

[orchid sorrel]

you need to work on your colors

I have no idea what are those lights supposed to represent

[cobalt temple]

Is there a plugin That makes it where you're towns people has to eat and drink if they don't they'll die

why would someone do that lol

there is the vanilla water need that's all

[cobalt temple]

Idk I just think it'll be fun

[remote herald]

Base

[crimson basin]

interesting

[safe ocean]

Should work on your delivery lol. They’re pathway lights and the amphitheater just didn’t get worked out correctly

[safe ocean]

You talking about lighting colors or for the overall daytime piece.

[orchid sorrel]

both

[safe ocean]

.. too bright? Or not enough contrast? Trying to understand what that means. Just feels broad

I do appreciate feedback, just frustrating when it doesn’t help give direction 😫

[crimson basin]

i guess the lights will fade into the distance and illuminate some objects like the trees

so it wouldnt be flat lighting too

[safe ocean]

Yeah I was just checking some in game lighting stuff and I think it helped give an idea of what to do for broad cast lighting

[orchid sorrel]

"bright" means high value

contrast looks alright, maybe you could try increasing it a bit

[safe ocean]

Thank you kulche. Sorry if I came off rude, still trying to learn it all haha

[static pollen]

Not really but just dont build hospitals near their house and they'll probably die

[crimson basin]

you can use pca for coding

Ptag pca

[agile forum]

Plugin creator app (PCA) is a website to create plugins for the game using a UI interface.

It can be accessed at https://pca.svetikas.lt/

[crimson basin]

but you need an app for srawing

[hoary night]

Very good

[eager oriole]

Thanks

[muted pecan]

oh no, i understand the reason, i assume they thought i made it myself. i was really confused and rereading it, i was pretty rude abt it

[muted pecan]

yeah, the entire tree+shadow is just the world texture, the tree frames are all from world texture and they include shadow. i assume it looks better on the ground than on ground decals

[dreamy hearth]

Okay update regarding this one:

Was making one when all of a sudden my laptop's gpu died on me

May have to get a new laptop soon

[muted pecan]

people complaining abt the amount of time it takes for plugin store mods to check all the plugins is wild to me like. "wHy My PlUgIn HaSn'T bEeN aPpRoVeD" cuz they have lives? and are dealing with people squawking at them over plugin rejection reasons (sorry bunny! ) i just check once every day or so and go back to my life lol

in the same vein: "wHy My PlUgIn ReJeCtEd" and it's an over-saturated solid neon recolor of the sample house (and also probably a computer virus)

[tall horizon]

Dinnerbone...

[tall horizon]

My theotown account, drkiyan_theos, cant open in forum 😭

[crimson basin]

oh the square

if im being honest, not a fan

The shadows are incorrect

[tall horizon]

Maybe the shadow should be near or after noon

[crimson basin]

and it would be better to leave the ground transparent with draw ground true

[tall horizon]

Yeah, i might change the people also

[crimson basin]

the shadow is at a 45 degree angle, is the same height as the building and goes straight to the right

and around the back

[crimson basin]

people look a little too close together, but its not really a problem

[haughty moth]

Nice

[crimson basin]

Maybe you can get some updates done by when i approve (wednesday)

[tall horizon]

Yeah

My prespective is the shadow may be too big

[crimson basin]

cubes arent isometric 😭

well at least yours isnt but it should be

[tall horizon]

The shadow is too dark 😭

[urban grove]

Looks cool but i don't know how to feel about the colors... Unless it looks like that in real life

[dreamy hearth]

The only issue I'll name here is that the dark cube can't be distinguished from the shadow, you could try to fix that

[crimson basin]

i didnt even see the bottom cube lol

[orchid sorrel]

the red one isn't even geometrically correct

Makes sense, im trying that...

[blissful basalt]

Hey was the Jakarta cathedral removed?

[remote herald]

idk

never heard of it before

[tall horizon]

Hmmm, to make shadow better, i will make the transparency to 30% - 60%

Other than the messiah cathedral

Colors of the pier? Or ground

[quick cradle]

Fantastic

[safe ocean]

These are great and you do colors and shading so good. Looking at the roof I feel the far slope transition feels sharp. That make sense? The part with the arrow here.

[quick cradle]

It seems ok to me

Is this code right?

[violet quartz]

That kinda fucks with my ocd

[crimson basin]

no

"frames": [{"bmp": "frmae.png"}]

[quick cradle]

But the rest is ok, right?

[safe ocean]

I think it’s the roundness of the roof slope on the right doesn’t look mirrored to otherside

[quick cradle]

maybe this part is too long

[safe ocean]

Maybe I’m delusional and should stick to working on my colors 😂

[quick cradle]

now?

[charred skiff]

guys how can i make the circle shape on the other side?

[cerulean cove]

My feeling is the alignment has some issue, I.e. the 2 circled roof end should be on same level

But it could be the feature, that roof on each side is not symmetrical, and then in that case it could also be that roof on 2 side has diff curve slope etc lol

[safe ocean]

Ah that is a good point. Regardless of this they are still very well done.

[cerulean cove]

Yes, they are noice building none the less xd, nice drawing

[crimson basin]

I guess

@crimson basin / @orchid sorrel out of curiousity, what are your favorite plugins people have made?

[quick cradle]

Thanks

[orchid sorrel]

I don't even play the game

[crimson basin]

I mean functionality wise, id say services+, they look nice (it was done by kulche)

[quick cradle]

How do i proceed with the code

I mean i have it and now what i have to do?

[crimson basin]

Make it a json

[orchid sorrel]

perhaps you should stick to just one channel

[quick cradle]

How can i do?

[crimson basin]

Not sure if pca supports fence but if it does your life would be easier

If not, json app

[quick cradle]

How do i save it?

[orchid sorrel]

you save it as a json file

it's that shrimple

[crimson basin]

Not from that text box

[quick cradle]

From where?

[orchid sorrel]

a text editor?

literally anything will do

might as well use notepad

[quick cradle]

ok

So i have to copy it

[crimson basin]

I think i use this on my phone

Or that txt pad thing

No idea

I usually dont json on phone but rarely i have to

[safe ocean]

So, maybe better question is what plugins visually look nice to you?

[crimson basin]

Wow i have a timetable app?

[frigid tusk]

You have a timetable?

[safe ocean]

Interesting

[frigid tusk]

Wtf is this app doing

[crimson basin]

No

[crimson basin]

Im biased cause finally good service range

Kulche

Can we have sports+

The vanilla sports ranges suck

[safe ocean]

So is kulche an artist for the game or plugin moderator with graphics on the side

[crimson basin]

All 3

[safe ocean]

Ah ok. Making more sense now.

[quick cradle]

I made the script and saved it

Now what i have to do?

[crimson basin]

Great, now is it a .json?

[orchid sorrel]

I don't follow particular creators or take inspiration from plugins

I just draw

[near flame]

haha that's very relatable

plugin creators rarely plays this game

if it is only in the case of testing their plugins

[quick cradle]

yes

at least, i think

[quick cradle]

@crimson basin how do I continue with the plugin?

[quick cradle]

I have the json, what’s the next step?

[crimson basin]

make a zip folder with the json and graphics

[quick cradle]

Ok

[patent swift]

texture is finish

[charred skiff]

guys, i made a plugin with animations, but i dont know if animations should be on separate layers or no

[crimson basin]

on separate layers?

if youre asking that, youre already doing it wrong

you make an animation draft

each animation has its own png

[crimson basin]

whatever youre doing in layers needs to be done as separate frames

i assume those are flags?

[charred skiff]

no

it is a billboard plugin

[charred skiff]

as separate file?

[crimson basin]

yes as individual file

or

you can place them next to each other at equal distance (if its going to be an animation

then you dont have to have as many files

but youd have to add some more stuff in your code

[charred skiff]

but can i make the code throught the website?

pca

or how is it called

[crimson basin]

yeah

[charred skiff]

just upload all frames?

[crimson basin]

do you understand how im asking to save it?

and ill ask you again, it is an animation right?

wheres the original frame?

[charred skiff]

wdym by original frame?

[crimson basin]

you save animations in one of the 2 ways

[crimson basin]

well somethings got to be on the base right? im not really sure what youre trying to do

[charred skiff]

the original frame is this

if i understood what you mean

the base of an add

[crimson basin]

tell me what this animation does then

or show me what they all look like

i assume it changes what the image shows?

[charred skiff]

just this one

the original frame

other layers are with animations

[crimson basin]

yeah i have no idea what youre talking about

unless you can explain it better, i cant help you

[charred skiff]

ok i will explain to yo tomorrow

i have to sleep

sorry

[crimson basin]

bye, sleep well

[charred skiff]

bye, thanks)

[bright notch]

Where can I buy these?

[zinc narwhal]

It will be put on the shelves of the store in the future.

[bright notch]

Okie

[minor nimbus]

nice!

[lapis stream]

Waw

Keep it up

[crimson basin]

You should change one of the letters in PS with a similar looking but different letter

[crimson basin]

Really nice

[charred skiff]

yeah

[cerulean cove]

This texture is a great one can be used to redo Brookfield place plugin xd

[rain gate]

How can I encrypt a plugin please 🙏

[crimson basin]

see the pins

[rain gate]

I mean like I need a TT account

When I dm to pidroid

[crimson basin]

oh ask ja to link it

[rain gate]

This is the first time this happens because I encrypt plugins but whit no account

[crimson basin]

im not sure if you can do it yourself

[crimson basin]

because before, you made .plugin files. now youre making .ttplugin files. It needs you to link your forum account to sign

Plink

something something no idea

ja did it for me

[frigid tusk]

my weird machine compared to Alpha construction's machine

[lavish sail]

unsaturated

[crimson basin]

i prefer the one on the right

more metallic

shinyyy

[frigid tusk]

i should maybe give more colour

it's kind of grayish even with the gray shader

[plush comet]

Yea

[charred skiff]

okay, thanks for explanation

[plush comet]

There are Stalinka in Baku too

[crimson basin]

woah, niceee

[safe ocean]

Some color updates.

Took precedence grass from one of the parks and the concrete as well.

[lavish sail]

you should make it a bit less saturated

[safe ocean]

Thinking that too now looking

[charred skiff]

ohhh, never thought that that is stalinka

[tired patrol]

thanks

[charred skiff]

WIP

[safe ocean]

Thinking the lights are getting closer?

[crimson basin]

oh

they night lights look nice now

good job

[plush comet]

Pre-revolutionary russian buildings?

[safe ocean]

☺️ thank you! Still gotta nail down day colors

[crimson basin]

your trees could use some work though

[charred skiff]

yeah XD

[crimson basin]

trees be too bright

[lavish sail]

lights looks great

just colors ig

[safe ocean]

Yeah I feel like they clashing

[plush comet]

Caucasus?

[charred skiff]

wdym?

[lavish sail]

more like north of the Russia

heres different buildings in Caucasus

[charred skiff]

you think it is located there?

[lavish sail]

huh?

[plush comet]

Do the Russian police have such Mercedes

[charred skiff]

you said that looks like north of Russia

guys

it is in Baku

XD

[lavish sail]

[charred skiff]

this thing is very complicated

😭

[safe ocean]

I’ve got faith you can nail it!

[charred skiff]

can someone help me with this shapes?

[charred skiff]

lol, thanks)

[lavish sail]

try it urself as first

[safe ocean]

Feeling less saturated? I also tried to reduce brightness of trees.

[lavish sail]

now you can saturate grass a bit and then itll be perfect imo

[safe ocean]

Roger that

I’ll turn the sprinklers on

[lavish sail]

oh and

[safe ocean]

Hehe

[lavish sail]

shadow on stairs at the left

[safe ocean]

Thinking no good? Or darken

Tried to smooth it out along curve

[lavish sail]

i dont see shadow there

just make upper plane darker

[safe ocean]

Ah. You talking about the white part?

Or the face of the stairs in amphitheater

[lavish sail]

yellow one

[safe ocean]

Groundplane. Gotchya.

[lavish sail]

yeap

[safe ocean]

I appreciate this so much

[charred skiff]

hmm okay

all windows in the center are done

[safe ocean]

Feels better. Thanks @lavish sail

[charred skiff]

daaamn, it is your plugin?

looks awesome

[safe ocean]

Thank you! Yes made last week and have been fighting colors for a few days haha

I am thinking about making another one that has like a rock edge and will be lower to ground so it can be placed on land in cities and not just water

[charred skiff]

ohh, nice

[orchid sorrel]

it still looks too bright

not saturated, just bright

like, look at the vanilla trees right next to your building

[safe ocean]

I think that's totally it. I was playing around with making them not as "chartreuse/saturated" but didin't think of the fact they could be darker and still have contrast

[orchid sorrel]

that's like the third time I'm telling you they are too bright lol

[safe ocean]

idk.. maybe trying to learn and figure this all out?

trying to learn the different inputs/adjustments

Think it needs more tuning? Afraid to make too dark or knock out shadow side of tree. Could just add some darker tones to backside of trees.

[trim blade]

Yeah, the trees look a bit flat now

[glacial galleon]

Modern Stadium

[haughty moth]

Cool

[safe ocean]

This feel better?

Thanks to everyone for the help and patience.

[gentle marsh]

Woww, i love it

[crimson basin]

oh yeah muchhhh better

[static pollen]

Man i liked bright trees i go outside i saw bright trees and thought it's cool, but dark trees are cool too so nice work

[safe ocean]

As soon as I saw it I was like “fuuuuhhhh this is what they meant”

I made a version that can be placed on the ground so it doesn’t have to solely be in water.

[misty pawn]

New and old

[safe ocean]

Wooahh I love these! Wow the detail.

[devout rivet]

I joined the server just to show you this level of disrespect

Brainrot... IN THE COMMENTS OF A 9/11 MEMORIAL PLUG-IN?!

...

[rain gate]

Thats just how the plugin store is so...

and watch the caps in the future

[lavish sail]

"funny 😂🤣"

Basic plugin store interaction

[devout rivet]

why the Julius Fücik (real person, made Entry of The Gladiators a.k.a funny circus song) do people think 9/11 is funny

[crimson basin]

i did not see that comment before

report the comment and ill delete it for you

[devout rivet]

okey

reported it

[crimson basin]

hmm dont see the report

you sure you reported it and confirmed it?

[devout rivet]

Lemme try again

It won't let me report it twice

[cerulean cove]

Wow I like those

[cerulean cove]

I think tree is better this way, and you can add 1 or 2 the previous bright tree into it it might looks fine too

I think very bright stuff is good in small scale like line, highline, but for a square it’s too large for that many things that are bright

The road and the supporting pier can all go through the tree process to get slightly darker or less saturated (not sure the word)

[cerulean cove]

And night view is great, though light could be stronger, both by comparing the photo and looking at it

All personal thought*

[safe ocean]

Love it. I appreciate the perspective! I like the direction the lighting is going and I’ll gradually add more so it’s not overdone.

[muted pecan]

i wonder how hard it would be to make a fun/lua-based "earthquake+" disaster that could be randomly triggered by fault lines placed by the player

or that randomly spawn in the map on region creation

[safe ocean]

🫡

[uncut acorn]

In my opinion, it needs slight improvements

[muted pecan]

i would increase the noise slightly, it feels a little too "clean" to me

[carmine hemlock]

Should I add more texture?

[lavish sail]

Bright

[cerulean cove]

Canary wharf?

[crimson basin]

you can use PCA, just add multiple building types (or more than one of one type) when you are asked to after the manifest

I was going to give you the link but it seems i can't send it to your DM.

I will also launch it, along with other models. I'm focusing on the details

We've been getting alot of European themes plugins this year. I feel kinda bad for Oceania and Africa, barely any plugins for those two

[cerulean cove]

I feel want to do London

But I think I need a London zone… is it possible?

[remote herald]

yeah

[dusty hill]

ye

jeez, oceania doesn't have much plugin materials

as the Africa

[misty pawn]

Is the export command broken or did they change it?

[orchid sorrel]

#information

[misty pawn]

So it's not working for now

[crimson basin]

no, you can encrypt via forum (link pinned) or pidroid dms (if your game account is linked to discord)

[misty pawn]

The whole point is to avoid anything that needs connection with internet

I don't have daily access

[crimson basin]

oh yeah. its the only way to get .ttplugin files though

since i guess it needs to verify your game account

[misty pawn]

And another good thing is lost

[crimson basin]

dont know why the game cant do that if youre logged in, but maybe its cause most things related to the game account is considered an online feature

it was done for the benefit of certain creators i think

[misty pawn]

Anyway back to sleep I'm too sick to think anymore xc

[crimson basin]

sleep well

[orchid sorrel]

I mean why would you care about it needing connection to the internet

if you don't have internet, you can't upload your plugins in any way, so why would you need to encrypt them

[static pollen]

Rename files .zip to .ttplugin 100% works

Ziggerman building

winrar with theotown collaboration? Impossible

[modern parrot]

Because most of the people in our community are from Europe, Asia and maybe America and naturally people will build and draw the cities they were born in and that they like

[modern parrot]

Wow

[lavish sail]

Like, you actually named 75% of the world's population :)

[old geyser]

Wich plugins are those?

[modern parrot]

Unfortunately, most likely in some African cities there is no Internet or it is very expensive there.

[cerulean cove]

I wonder which city has more plugin besides NY, London or Tokyo?

[remote herald]

moscow i guess

[lavish sail]

Petersburg actually i think

Moscow dont have that much of buildings

[remote herald]

hanoi

or ho chi minh

[lavish sail]

Luxembourg

[remote herald]

paris

[cerulean cove]

Hmmm

[lavish sail]

New Amsterdam actually

[remote herald]

[modern parrot]

Any Soviet city, since there are a lot of Soviet standard buildings and they were built all over the territory of the former Soviet Union

[cerulean cove]

I’m more thinking the number of actual rl building plug-in, instead of style pack xd
