5x5

Can I be friends with you to ask more questions;(

[crimson basin]

Did you place the template on the leftmost pixel, no empty pixel to its left?

[jaunty axle]

Does anyone know of this plugin?

[halcyon condor]

I set everything in place correctly, and it's perfectly aligned:((

[rain gate]

2nd picture is yusuf industrial pack on the forum

[jaunty axle]

all right, I'm now looking for the plugin in the first image

[strange cloud]

Maybe try to type "Warehouse" on the game store, and try to match that.

[jaunty axle]

i will check it

[thorn willow]

where? will you upload it on forum or your discord server? if you're going to release it on your discord server please DM me the server link

[rain gate]

My server

[thorn willow]

also pls provide much taller version

[rain gate]

What 😂😂

I made it with irl dimensions 😂😂

[thorn willow]

idk i just finds it funny to have TALLER version of it. Like something that was super tall wasn't tall enough

[rain gate]

Is ready

Enjoy

Remember all the radars have 4 rotations 😉

[cyan vapor]

Does anyone know a good mountain house plugins? (Preferably modern like)

[rain gate]

Youve already asked this in town square twice in the span of like 20 minutes, have some patience.

[cyan vapor]

Ok

[charred skiff]

aseprite

[rain gate]

The two bright part over the darker

[charred skiff]

[rain gate]

This pixel over the darker

[charred skiff]

[crimson basin]

yeah, do that the rest of the way too

[charred skiff]

[rain gate]

Yeah!!!!!😎

[charred skiff]

ok, thanks

[crimson basin]

[rain gate]

😉

[crimson basin]

[rain gate]

The same effect in this pixels on the roof

[charred skiff]

oh okay

[rain gate]

Literally the beauty in TT imo is in the depth and shadows

[charred skiff]

[charred skiff]

yeah xd

[rain gate]

Look at that change
Damm cool 😎

[charred skiff]

[rain gate]

All the roof

[charred skiff]

thank you guys for the help

[rain gate]

😊

[charred skiff]

hmmm

the top view

right side depth done

this thing is literally a rectangle

[simple slate]

Sorry for the inconvenience, but does anyone know what this plugin is?

I know I was in the store and the problem is that Theo Town was reset. I have to install everything again but I can't find those buildings. They were like a type of modular offices with nighttime entertainment.

If anyone knows the name or if it is on the forum I would be very grateful.

[vale oracle]

Does exist any Yugoslavia plugin

[ripe jasper]

its an office segment made by yusuf

yusuf8a684

[vale oracle]

?

[ripe jasper]

nope

the closest thing to that is like

communist housing ig

[orchid sorrel]

just do your own research

only you know what "yugoslavia plugin" means

[ripe jasper]

ok

[orchid sorrel]

(that wasn't directed at you..?)

[ripe jasper]

ok

[simple slate]

Thanks!

[ripe jasper]

yw

[simple slate]

I already found it, thank you very much to everyone and for those who want it I leave the link below

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?p=177093#p177093

[safe ocean]

I love trying to portray difficult shadows. The one I did on the acros was fun cause building was stepping uphill and there were trees

So I searched forum and may just be a noob and missed, but is there any tutorials/documenation on how to draft in curved building faces? Trying this building and it's quite the berth

[stoic echo]

You probably should get a better top view of your building if you can because this won't do it

you could look online

[worthy narwhal]

tyy i was looking for it too

[cerulean cove]

Noice, and I cannot recognize this one as well xd, got a macys feeling

[golden hare]

It's not Macy's, but I'm taking it as a future complement. I plan to upload this one in particular. Here's another preview.

[sterile sand]

Does anyone know if there is a plugin to be able to build without needing streets on the side of the building?

[cerulean cove]

Isee, noice 👍

[stoic palm]

I would suggest uber more or an invisible road plugin

[trim blade]

Uber more

[harsh hemlock]

I need some Midwestern... looking plug-ins and like brick American buildings

[urban grove]

As to my knowledge. No there is no plugin that lets you do that. Either buy Uber Mode or build invisible roads next to the buildings or build underground roads under the buildings.

[twin pine]

Does anyone make this flag as a plugin with waving animation!

[dull plover]

what apps are good for making plugins?

[crimson basin]

pc?

[dull plover]

yes

[crimson basin]

paint.net

[frigid tusk]

Or pixel studio on steam (free)

[dull plover]

thanks

[dusty hill]

i should do a new thing

and complete the Hotel Silesia

[long dust]

it paid off

[jaunty axle]

Does anyone know the name of this plugin?

[dull plover]

it kinda looks like a modular building pack

[charred skiff]

aseprite

[charred skiff]

okay

[jaunty axle]

yeah, but i dont know what the name of the plugin

[charred skiff]

modular building pack

[jaunty axle]

Can you give me a more specific name? Because I've been looking for it and the results don't match

[jaunty axle]

thanks

[charred skiff]

np

[floral stream]

who has plugins for shaders

[dull plover]

what do you guys think?

[charred skiff]

nice

but

it is not even isometric

[orchid sorrel]

is this a genuine question

[dull plover]

ik

: (

[charred skiff]

just make it isometric

[dull plover]

okay

[rain gate]

If this is your first plugin and you made that trees and added shadows to the windows you’re a pro 😎

[orchid sorrel]

I kinda beg to differ

you really should see a tutorial

[twin pine]

Who's best plugin designer!?

[charred skiff]

wdym?

[crimson basin]

very subjective

[twin pine]

Who makes the best plugin can't u understand

[charred skiff]

why you answered so rudely

i just asked

[crimson basin]

it depends on what you like

theres no "best"

because we dont define whats best

[twin pine]

Uhh I just said can't u understand and how u know that I am mad huh I'm not just asking!!!

[crimson basin]

although, you can find people who consistently find plugins on the store, they have a heart before the plugin name

for examptle, rtobby gets one, along other creators

[twin pine]

Is there a plugin maker can they help me!!

A small request

[charred skiff]

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

[charred skiff]

i think you are not good in english

[charred skiff]

woah

this looks awesome

[twin pine]

Yeah

[charred skiff]

what is that plugin

[crimson basin]

if youd like to do it yourself, have fun, if not, use #plugin-suggestions and hope someone makes it

[crimson basin]

Well your certainly never going to learn if you don't atleast try In the time you've spent here trying to get someone else to do it for you, you couldve read up on a few tutorials and atleast gotten a grip on the basics, there is links above that give you all the info you could need.

[twin pine]

[crimson basin]

my favourite people in this channel are people willing to learn

[twin pine]

I'm too noob

[charred skiff]

i am also noob

[twin pine]

I don't think

You know the steps!

[charred skiff]

nah

i am noob

i already said that i am not a professional

[rain gate]

They know the steps because they keep trying instead of continually saying "i cant"

Saying you cant gets you nowhere

[twin pine]

[orchid sorrel]

regerte

[safe ocean]

Not only a rounded building, but also undulating

[safe ocean]

Thank you bunny. I made one "floor" of it a smart object in PS so I can copy it up and adjust as needed once

[crimson basin]

Real 🔥

[rain gate]

I finally made it

(thanks bokoblo for the 737 sprite)

[remote herald]

no shadows

[rain gate]

I don't need shadows to be happy lol

[twin pine]

Watch in the plugin suggestions

[manic beacon]

What would you recommend I add to it?

It's very empty and simple but I can't think of anything

[hardy anvil]

Fix the shadow

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=2290

[manic beacon]

Yes, but it would be better to do it once the model is completely finished.

[crimson basin]

Roof decor

Like a shine effect on the window

Some windows brighter than others

Desaturated windows

[manic beacon]

Okay thanks I'll do it

[worthy narwhal]

looks as if the highway just ends at the station

[twin pine]

I tired now how to make animation!

[cerulean cove]

Station looks noice, but just feel not very realistic (graphically not physically), not sure why. The new TCPS underground station gives the same feeling, not very realistic

[weak kestrel]

What is this ??

[dusty hill]

idk, i think i should finally get back to work on plugins

[twin pine]

Look

[crimson basin]

Good attempt, looks okay

The base isn't really circular and symmetric

[eager oriole]

Dude is hard to make the layout of a building in ibis paint lol.

[eager oriole]

You are the one who was making that water tower?

[dusty hill]

this hated by Kulche?
yes

[eager oriole]

lol. I mean, he was torturing you with those suggestions but that was for make you better

[hardy anvil]

Not really

[eager oriole]

i did it and was hard for first time

[remote herald]

Modern residence

[twin pine]

Is that good and okay! Soo how to do night animation and upload it!

Tell me and teach me so i can be plugin creator!

[twin pine]

.

[orchid sorrel]

I don't think a flag needs night animation lmao

[twin pine]

Umm the top

[orchid sorrel]

the top what

[twin pine]

It'll be light

[orchid sorrel]

anyway, that's not how theotown handles animation

[twin pine]

Huh

Wdym

Then how to upload on theotown! Plugin

[orchid sorrel]

did you bother reading a tutorial

[twin pine]

No

[orchid sorrel]

that thing ain't going on the plugin store

[twin pine]

Why

[orchid sorrel]

why what

[twin pine]

Why that is not going on plugin store

That's exactly bunny said

[orchid sorrel]

because it's low quality and low effort

[twin pine]

Uhh

[orchid sorrel]

besides, it's not even a plugin in the first place, it's just an image

[twin pine]

soo what I do to upload in plugin store

It litterly took me 1-2 hour

[urban grove]

Go to the forum then go to the plugin store section and click the upload button. Once you're done with that you just gotta wait

But I doubt your plugin is gonna get accepted.

[static pollen]

dont upload on the store and keep it for yourself if you want

[twin pine]

But kulche said it won't happen

[twin pine]

I literally want to upload as a plugin so I can use it

[urban grove]

Well why not improve it before uploading it.

[twin pine]

How to improve more quality!

[urban grove]

You don't have to upload it just make a json then put it into the game.

That's literally what private plugins are

[twin pine]

How to upload plugin as my private?

[urban grove]

sigh have you made a json? If not then use PCA or do it yourself by using an app. Then just put it into the game files. I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials out there on YouTube

[twin pine]

...

What's JSON OR PCA

What app

[rain gate]

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/

[static pollen]

Pca is a plugin maker tool

[urban grove]

Check the forum or the pin (to see some guide on how to make better quality plugins)

[static pollen]

So you dont write json, the code, yourself

[twin pine]

Huh

[urban grove]

Basically PCA is a tool

[twin pine]

Where is it

[rain gate]

#plugin-discussion message

[urban grove]

@twin pine can you read? Sorry if i sound mean

[twin pine]

Wait the plugin I made on pixel studio, I need to download!

[urban grove]

Ok? What else do you need to download

[twin pine]

Uh

[urban grove]

Do you even have any idea what you're doing? Please just watch some tutorials and look at guides on how to make plugins

[twin pine]

This plugin

[twin pine]

Tutorial!!! Where

[urban grove]

On YouTube or forum. i literally told you where to look for it.

[twin pine]

Should I need to download the plugin I made

Then upload

[urban grove]

Export it i guess then make a json

[twin pine]

Json

What's it

[urban grove]

I guess code? Without it the plugin might not work

[orchid sorrel]

for the love of god read a tutorial

this ain't a preschool

you've been told where to look for it

[urban grove]

I'm starting to think this user can't read tutorials (sorry if I'm being mean). Either they're lazy or don't understand the tutorials. Even tho they're kinda easy to follow

[orchid sorrel]

I'm starting to think this user is no older than 8

[trim blade]

@twin pine a json is a file that describes the data a plugin has. What building type, how big it is, how many people work/live there

What frames it uses, and other things

A basic plugin can be a json and a single building frame.

Wait, Don't forget the manifest

[urban grove]

@twin pine be honest. Have you read a tutorial or a guide once before? If not then you're probably not going to be able to make plugins. As i said before, please just read the tutorials on the forum or follow a guide on YouTube. I promise it will help you alot!

[ripe jasper]

simple just start small

[trim blade]

||also, why does Kulche sound so condescending a lot of the time? Has anyone else noticed that?||

[ripe jasper]

animation is pretty hard to make in tt so i suggest make a small flagpole

[urban grove]

Yeah just make a flagpole that doesn't wave. It might not look good but hey at you have your own unique custom roleplay flags in TheoTown

[ripe jasper]

yep

[urban grove]

Also hi habun :D

[ripe jasper]

hiiiii

[trim blade]

It's important to start somewhere. It really isn't helpful when you put people down that are trying to learn.

[trim blade]

Although, it gets to a point where some users are just being annoying or aren't even trying to understand.

[ripe jasper]

real

[twin pine]

I honestly tell u that my plugin is not going to be animated!!! Or what

[trim blade]

Are you using a translator?

[twin pine]

No why

[trim blade]

Just wondering

[twin pine]

K where should I upload plugin

[trim blade]

You only have the image so far, right?

[twin pine]

I have image so I upload and it'll be plugin

[trim blade]

No, that's not how it works

[twin pine]

How

[trim blade]

Unless you mean uploading it into this

[twin pine]

Then why should I build anything from pixel studio!

[trim blade]

Because that's how you make the frames for plugins

[unique kindle]

He's not condescending he is just straight up and is good at giving constructive criticism

[orchid sorrel]

there's no point in telling you where to upload a plugin if you don't have a plugin in the first place

do that first

[twin pine]

What!

[urban grove]

You only have the image but you haven't created a JSON. Either use the PCA or do it yourself by using an app @twin pine

If you don't then that's not a plugin. You're just creating a pixel art flagpole. Once again please follow some guides.

[orchid sorrel]

???????

[twin pine]

How to create JSON

[hardy anvil]

https://pca.svetikas.lt/

[urban grove]

If you don't understand what I'm saying then I'm sorry i can't help you any further. You're on your own.

[trim blade]

You use this

It's one of the easiest ways to get from an image to something to use in game

[livid agate]

Please read the documentation on the sample plugin
https://pca.svetikas.lt/docs/getting-started/writing-a-sample-plugin/

[ripe jasper]

lol the links

[urban grove]

We've given this user so much help and yet still don't understand a thing.

[trim blade]

Man

😭

It just requires some reading man

Please

[urban grove]

People these days don't really like to read long text... Very sad especially the young ones. They prefer something short and simple

[trim blade]

It's not so simple as getting an image and the game automatically knowing what kind of building it is, what size it is, what it does and so on

[twin pine]

Now! I click export JSON file and download it soo!

[twin pine]

Uh😅

[orchid sorrel]

now check if it works

[twin pine]

Where

[twin pine]

Where

[orchid sorrel]

..in the game?

where else do you expect to test your plugin lol

[twin pine]

Huh

[orchid sorrel]

did you follow the steps to actually add the plugin to your game

[twin pine]

How steps

What

[orchid sorrel]

yeah I ain't helping you if you can't be bothered to read the most basic tutorial you've been told to read a million times now

[twin pine]

Where is it!

[orchid sorrel]

here??

[hardy anvil]

Modern apartment

[orchid sorrel]

pretty nice colors, I'd increase contrast on the darker one

also, ground floor where

[eager oriole]

This dude just don't understand why he need to make a frame for a plugin be a plugin. Dude just go to youtube and write "how to make a plugin" if there is something you didn't understand then search it or find another tutorial of what you didn't understand

[remote herald]

oh i forgot about it 😅

[orchid sorrel]

lol

[livid agate]

just slap ground tiles array

and call it a day

[orchid sorrel]

that's not what ground floor means

dumbass

[livid agate]

damn

yeah

now I see it

lack of it

call it a sinking house

and call it a day

[twin pine]

I give up

Again!!

[orchid sorrel]

..because?

[eager oriole]

why?

[remote herald]

why??

[eager oriole]

you can't go to youtube? (not being rude)

[orchid sorrel]

*is rude* (not rude)

please just drop it

[twin pine]

Just give up I can't do with my whole life

[orchid sorrel]

that's your choice

[ripe jasper]

it's fine

[eager oriole]

lol

[eager oriole]

everyone did their first plugin in theotown whithout knowledge, its fine if you are having troubles but if you really want to, then try it, if you don't try it then. why?

[remote herald]

a door

[eager oriole]

nice door

[remote herald]

a glass door

[orchid sorrel]

that looks rather off

[eager oriole]

Now i feel depresing

[orchid sorrel]

it's kinda weird for the darker section to have windows this close to the ground

[midnight obsidian]

yea i feel like a ground floor would be beneficial

would make stuff look more logical

[remote herald]

Finished (not)

[orchid sorrel]

yeah there's still room for improvement here

[remote herald]

fin

[twin pine]

I can't

[remote herald]

can’t what?

[twin pine]

Ntg

[remote herald]

idk what that means

[crimson basin]

Honestly, yeah I'd give you something uploadable since you did try, that's what I did offer yesterday

[twin pine]

Wdym

[crimson basin]

Do you speak English?

[twin pine]

[rain gate]

Sim (joke)

[crimson basin]

Hey, I'm just asking about your proficiency level because you don't seem to understand (either that or you're trolling us)

[twin pine]

... Troll!!!

[hardy anvil]

It looks like that

[cerulean cove]

I mean her screen recording she use app with English fine, so 🌝

[safe ocean]

WIP. Still gotta do top level and ground and texture/tweek colors

[safe ocean]

Need this in me city

[uncut acorn]

Large us bank

Cool

[safe ocean]

Thank you! Going to need to read up on how to build with multiple frames. Is taller than max height for one

[rain gate]

Atribute for power

For make electricity?

Not consumption

[urban grove]

We finally got an accurate size of the US Bank Tower. The other one was too small. Looks good so far

[safe ocean]

Thank you. Max png size is 256 right?

Height I mean

[rain gate]

These were some unused/unfinished buildings that didn't whatsoever come out as I intended, although I'm sure someone can make use of them.

[ripe jasper]

woah epil

epik

[worthy narwhal]

[modern parrot]

Great plugin👍

[remote herald]

epikkk

[eternal sail]

EPIC

[haughty moth]

cool, but it seems to me that it is too low, the original looks higher

[cerulean cove]

Maybe each floor is too high, prob can make more levels and thinner maybe

If measured by pixel*

[thorn willow]

wow nice 🔥 just like the woodpecker sound in my radio 🐦

[remote herald]

Wip Japanese building

[remote herald]

[ripe jasper]

it's so white

[remote herald]

yes

that’s how i see it in google earth

[dusty hill]

maybe i should try to do smth in kind of Water mill

[glacial ocean]

guys what website yall use to make plugins?? i wanna make a plugin

[crimson basin]

PC: paint.net
Android: picly/pixel studio

[dusty hill]

oh crap

Since russia banned discord

then what about Dnipr guy

is he russian or ukrainian

[remote herald]

smol house

oh wait

don’t mind the brown line thing

[halcyon condor]

I noticed my plugin wasn't approved because of the building's glass color issue. What should I do now? I need some feedback ;(((

[hardy anvil]

Add more shadow

[safe ocean]

Yeah you may be right. I made each type of level as a smart object so I can shift up and add levels. I think I was originally trying to keep within the height parameter before I realized you can stack

I will circle back to that and fix

[onyx compass]

How do I make plugins?

Tried to search of youtube but no use

Yall I think I used the wrong pixly

[rain gate]

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

[onyx compass]

Tq!

[dusty hill]

wdym by commission

[hardy anvil]

Where does it say by commission?

[dusty hill]

you always on those thumbs give commission, like here but above Medieval word

[hardy anvil]

That means that people are paying me to make plugins.

[crimson basin]

Desaturated the glass

[crimson basin]

VPN

[uncut acorn]

“Pay $1 dollar to Jeffrial to make your suggested plugin or to help complete your unfinished plugins”

just an “eme-eme”

[hardy anvil]

🤑🤣
For real

[cerulean cove]

That looks so noice 👍

If there is a pack I have a place right away need it xd

[rain gate]

So clean and beautiful

[warm patrol]

This house is also ready

[warm patrol]

Yes, this house is already ready, I posted it on one of the telegram channels

[crimson basin]

You're doing all those for just $1?

Oh wait you're lsc

Jeffri, one request from me, when you do any brand names etc, change a letter to a different one. Subtle change but a change nonetheless. Helps when those people upload it on the plugin store

[hardy anvil]

Ah ok thanks for the suggestion 😄

I will do it if anyone wants to upload it to the store later

[uncut acorn]

No I haven’t
Just joking tho

[uncut acorn]

It’s even theotown 2 texture now

[cerulean cove]

Noice 👍 did you post on any discord server? I don’t have telegram, but I will check to get one soon xd, might come back for the channel link 😝

[simple slate]

I insist that there should be a special channel here on discord so people can post their stuff

[keen robin]

What's the best education plugin you guys got?

[simple slate]

The Japanese schools are good and cover a lot of space

It covers space in the sense that it provides education in many areas

Hey @crimson basin or @orchid sorrel

[strange cloud]

You're looking for a store moderator?

[orchid sorrel]

I will warn if you ping me without a message again

[unique kindle]

Sorry I was going to send a message but my phone died

Anyways can one of you guys test out my road plugin or at least help me test it out

I finished the frames yesterday

[crimson basin]

Oh god

Why are they separate files

And why are the middle of the roads so clean

[eternal sail]

Probably because cars pass by there and leave dirt from their tires :v

[eternal sail]

Nice

[crimson basin]

But wouldn't the middle be dirty then and not the sides

[orchid sorrel]

tires are black

[crimson basin]

I feel like eating tires

[dusty hill]

seems like a good business

[orchid sorrel]

sounds like a surefire way to get burned out for getting a fraction of minimum wage for skilled labor

but if it suits you

[rain gate]

This is just a Smoll plugin but Wich stand looks better?

[orchid sorrel]

shadows when

[eternal sail]

You are right about that

[eternal sail]

Looks nice

[lavish sail]

uuuh, didnt you had this on august already?

i still have that plugin i guess

[rain gate]

Yeah 😂😂

[unique kindle]

Thanks

Anyway how to test my roads out if they are separate files @crimson basin ? How do I put them in the same file or smth

[orchid sorrel]

follow the format provided in the roads tutorial

[eternal sail]

Litle old mexican house

[orchid sorrel]

you inverted the roof shadows im afraid

[eternal sail]

It's easy to fix xd

[cerulean cove]

Missle stand?

[rain gate]

Yes 😉

[unique kindle]

So do I just download the road template and and replace the vanilla road designs with my designs or sum?

[orchid sorrel]

you could do that

[cerulean cove]

I like first one better, but both are good xd

[unique kindle]

Is there another option/way

[orchid sorrel]

open all the images and copy paste them into a single file

[unique kindle]

How to do that?

[rain gate]

I have a question please 🙏

Who made the TT vanilla landmarks?

[orchid sorrel]

look at the world texture

[feral ridge]

Where?

[orchid sorrel]

on the forums

check the pins

[feral ridge]

Alright

Idk what to do to make it more pleasing

[orchid sorrel]

use proper scale

and use more interesting architecture than just rectangle with uniform windows on one side

[feral ridge]

I see, I'mma redone this thing

[dusty hill]

jeez

i got a feeling that i want to do something, but after few minutes i don't want to do this

[orchid sorrel]

work on it 3 minutes everyday and you'll finish it at some point

[near flame]

is that a walmart

[cerulean cove]

Repeat that until you don’t want to do it right away 🌝

[lapis stream]

Will it have night frames

[boreal charm]

nice!

[boreal charm]

masterpiece

[eternal sail]

Thanks

[boreal charm]

now just gonna try recover files

they contain this:

😭

i got the rookie mistake of not putting them on cloud

[eternal sail]

F

[eternal sail]

It was improved a little by: Jalapeño od

[charred skiff]

how can i make windows, because they are all the same color

it looks unrealistic

i mean the grey part

[lapis stream]

Releasing it in the plugin store or nah

Looks W tho

[haughty moth]

Maybe

[lapis stream]

U got pics of the buildings interior?

[charred skiff]

interior?

or exterior?

[lapis stream]

Interior

Its obvious u got ghe exterior pics

[charred skiff]

yeah, there are some

[lapis stream]

Show

[lapis stream]

Hmmm

Try using the reflections of the clouds on it

[charred skiff]

how to do that?

[lapis stream]

Imagine a cloud like shape on the building

Use a slightly lighter shade of the window and draw it on the building

(the shade depends on how dense of a cloud ur thinking off

[charred skiff]

maybe i can just make some windows more saturated or not saturated

[lapis stream]

)

[lapis stream]

The buildings very monotonous in terms of overall shading

[lapis stream]

Try smthing similar to this

U can vaguely see the shape of a cloud

[charred skiff]

idk how to do that((

[lapis stream]

On that example the tint on the buildings windows are lower

[lapis stream]

.

Use a lighter shade than the window and then draw the rough shape of a cloud

[charred skiff]

let me try

[charred skiff]

like this?

[orchid sorrel]

use a very desaturated blue and apply some subtle perlin noise on it

[charred skiff]

what is subtle perlin noise?

[orchid sorrel]

perlin noise with very subtle white values

[charred skiff]

blue like this?

[orchid sorrel]

probably a bit too much blue

but it makes it hard to see when you only color a bunch of windows

[charred skiff]

changed

[orchid sorrel]

shift it more towards cyan

[charred skiff]

?

[orchid sorrel]

you moved it from purple-blue to almost perfect cyan

that's too much

I guess it should still be brighter as well

[charred skiff]

?

[orchid sorrel]

your screenshot says 180 and 250 hue values

that's quite the difference

try closer to 200-220

I feel like the beige structure looks a bit too pale as well

[lapis stream]

Ello kulche

[lapis stream]

Looking better

[lapis stream]

I said cloud

[orchid sorrel]

now make it brighter and you should be all set

[charred skiff]

made it brighter

[charred skiff]

i cant make a shape of a cloud on this thing(

[orchid sorrel]

why would you need to

[charred skiff]

he said to make the cloud shape

[orchid sorrel]

I have no idea who that person even is

color all the spots you want to be windows first

[charred skiff]

already done

[orchid sorrel]

that looks like very few windows for a skyscraper

also you painted over some of the beige parts

probably fill tool tolerance issue

[charred skiff]

oh yeah

[charred skiff]

idk the real building has few windows

[orchid sorrel]

it's a hotel I beg to differ

it's literally all glass

[charred skiff]

it isnt lol

hotel is in other building

hotel is this part

[orchid sorrel]

kinda weird for them to have that exact building the main focus for all their pictures

doesn't change the fact that it's all glass

[charred skiff]

so i should recolor everything to that bluish color?

[orchid sorrel]

I know I would

[charred skiff]

ok

thanks

[unique kindle]

Hey @orchid sorrel how do I put all my road images together into one file

[orchid sorrel]

you copy and paste them?

not sure what do you expect me to explain

Hey @orchid sorrel how do I put all my road images together into one file

[orchid sorrel]

I'm going to warn you if you ping me one more time

I've told you at least thrice now

[rain gate]

I can make a building able to provide energy

Like a solar panel

[crimson basin]

im aware lol

[rain gate]

Or I need a special key like for income?

[crimson basin]

for income yes, producing energy? no

[hybrid hornet]

Is there any good pixel art for iphone?

[remote herald]

the lights are so beautiful :0

[unique kindle]

Ok sorry I just needed help with putting things together for my plugin

How do I put all the images into one file

[orchid sorrel]

it's as simple as reading

I've told you already

if the problem is in operating your image editing software you might want to do your own research on the internet

[unique kindle]

Do I copy and paste everything from pixel studio or from my phone gallery

And what type of file do I put it in

[orchid sorrel]

you copy individual pixels

png

[unique kindle]

How to copy individual pixels?

Not trying to frustrate you ofc

[crimson basin]

at this point, it might just be easier to download the road thing, open it in your app and then redraw the whole thing on a new layer

[unique kindle]

I'm gonna be honest I'll prolly do that on my next set of roads (I'm making a pack for this) but for this road I already have all my images together and it took me three weeks to complete this

Do you know how to copy pixels in Pixel Studio and put all the images into one PNG file

[urban grove]

Beautiful night animation. Reminds me of Dekuz

[trim blade]

Production chains

[orchid sorrel]

literally complex industry

[near flame]

go on im interested

[crimson basin]

no

only app i ever used on mobile was pixly and it wasnt that great at doing that

[clear anvil]

Anyone knows who the current administrator of the plugin store is?

[orchid sorrel]

yes

[clear anvil]

As he/she disapproved our plugin cause of crashes and nobody can reproduce this problem, I think i might need the crash report from him.

😰

[orchid sorrel]

what is the plugin

[crimson basin]

apparently not in the store/deleted

[crimson basin]

try that

[strange lantern]

Is it on mobile?

[crimson basin]

yeah, you can

[unique kindle]

You can also make it on your pc too

[misty pawn]

Is it possible to change those

Also how to make decos buildable on slopes

[orchid sorrel]

you could try using handles and adding the foundations below the building

can't say whether it works or not

[misty pawn]

Won't be practical for bigger buildings but better than none

[orchid sorrel]

might as well also use animations

if they work

[misty pawn]

What about that?

Or is it a no xd

[orchid sorrel]

no idea

see the attribute list

[misty pawn]

tried support slopes and seems like it still doesn't

some names are pretty confusing lol

[crimson basin]

trees fit on slopes

just make it a tree

[misty pawn]

But they don't add the concrete

Or whatever it is

[orchid sorrel]

aren't decorations buildable on slopes by default anyway

[misty pawn]

Lol it's supports terrain

[signal lagoon]

i need 🄯 assets, lol. since i cant do alot with the drawing stuff.

also the bridge and the tunnel thingy.

[misty pawn]

Seems like supports terrain is false by default

[lavish sail]

Are there any parameters that would allow me to disable the undo function for a building?

[crimson basin]

make it a ground type

why would you want to do that though?

[lavish sail]

some small lua coding issues

undo breaks functionality, so

[crimson basin]

lol

[lavish sail]

and i idk if its possible to fix it by lua

[crimson basin]

what exactly is it for

[lavish sail]

enter #general

youll see

[crimson basin]

i mean your best bet is the correct channel before the channel gets flooded

ive seen it lol

[lavish sail]

I made it so that these buildings can't be destroyed one by one, all of them are destroyed, but at the same time, undo breaks this function

[signal lagoon]

delete the undo button when the building EVENT_REMOVE. lol

[lavish sail]

How???

gui: delete()

?

[crimson basin]

ian has a talent for lua ✨
youre magical ian

[lavish sail]

Ive seen i13

Some kind of hardcoding

[crimson basin]

also did lobby mispell #updates

[lavish sail]

...again

Yes

[crimson basin]

guiHokey

[lavish sail]

My belowed

[crimson basin]

hey maybe ian names it hokey, wed never know if we dont ask

[lavish sail]

I never used hotkey

Where can it be useful at all?

Theotown 4D support?

Oh wait

Ive got an idea over undo button

[signal lagoon]

like this

but, no, the button will be permanently removed.

[crimson basin]

pfft

funny

[lavish sail]

For single draft or at all?

I have a simple idea
Since I write all the constructed buildings into an array for later work with them, I can simply after the destruction of a building, or an event like this, check if the number of buildings in a given draft on the map matches the number of buildings in the array

And if not, we just carry out mass annihilation

Of course, then you'd have to find a way to get the coordinates of buildings outside the array, but it still sounds good

[signal lagoon]

lucky, there wasnt a misspelling in my name

[signal lagoon]

the draft with the script.

[lavish sail]

Oh, this sounds fine

Can you tell me how to do it?

[signal lagoon]

no, its permanent.

[lavish sail]

not cool then
