Theres a EVENT_REPLACED script event function

This thing solves a problem

[sleek spruce]

Would there happen to be a style guide for making buildings somewhere? I wanna try to make my buildings as theotown as possible?

[crimson basin]

best bet is to look at buildings by kulche and vanilla buildings

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=5659

[sleek spruce]

This is perfect! Thank you so much!

[sleek spruce]

Is it possible to add varients to existing buildings?

[burnt finch]

Guys can someone explain to me why they removed the Plugin that looks like the Intercity Bank, the other one with a lot of features?

[stoic palm]

They likely just require a version minimum that you do not have yet.

[eager oriole]

Making lights for the buildings i like but they don't have lights

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

[weak kestrel]

Cool do do 😁

[eager oriole]

thanks...

[stoic echo]

You could try to replicate this texture when making your night animations
But it does require more effort though so it's up to you.

[boreal charm]

would be fun if we extracted every floor to see where is the office rooms

[eager oriole]

hmmm, that looks nice, i'll try it

[dull plover]

is a human in game 2 pixels tall?

[crimson basin]

3

[dull plover]

okay thanks

[boreal charm]

what do you take those people for? a dwarf!!?

[dull plover]

i mean....

they look like 2 pixels

😭

they look teensy

[glossy pewter]

Hallo

What is the code to create an icon inside the plugin?

[livid agate]

What icon are you talking about specifically

[glossy pewter]

For example like this,
At the start of the plugin it displays an icon, and when tapped it displays more icons/menus.
😅🙏

[livid agate]

they are called categories

https://pca.svetikas.lt/docs/guides/categories/

[glossy pewter]

Sorry I forgot to use English😔🙏

[glossy pewter]

Okay
Thanks ❤️

[eternal sail]

You are welcome

[thorn thorn]

Guys, do you know the name or how I can find a plugin that has a 1×1 French house?

[nova moat]

When i search it in the plugin store there are no results

[static pollen]

Ask to akunbaru the draw of the bridge

I think he coded it too btw

Steph*

[crimson basin]

that disapproval reason sounds so much like an abab or lobby reason, think abab

okay i was wrong

its neither

anyway, rip plugin store

[safe ocean]

Oh my.

I was wondering and thinking it might be a huge backup 😭

[crimson basin]

i dont think the other mods are approving plugins (or dissaproving) :(
lobby does it every once in a while when theres a huge back log
ill be able to do it on the 30th and 31st

i occasionally like almost everyday disapprove the really obvious stuff

[rain gate]

Then This is a dark business 😅😎

[crimson basin]

dark busines? how come?

[rain gate]

Don’t worry 😂😂

[crimson basin]

no, but what do you meaann

[rain gate]

Is just me

😂

[eternal sail]

Done

[safe ocean]

Definitely appreciate all that you do!

[glacial galleon]

[deft kayak]

What is it program

[rain gate]

So Damm cool 🔥🔥

Pixly

[cerulean cove]

That’s… long? Xd

[uncut acorn]

Reminds me of one of EFranz’s

[remote herald]

French house

[misty pawn]

What's the difference between "x" and "handle x" or there isn't any

[orchid sorrel]

those are completely different attributes

x is for setting the x coordinate of the frame

handle x moves the frame handle

[misty pawn]

Damn and I thought I'd just use x for short cut lol

[orchid sorrel]

if x was a shortcut handle x wouldn't exist

[rain gate]

Maybe this may help 😊

anyone know any pixel art editing apps on ios?

Part of my practices😅

[remote herald]

woah

[green hull]

It's public or not

[low loom]

Yoo! you guys doing great

[haughty moth]

Cool

[obtuse vortex]

Just asking

Can we have a color animation inside other animation? So we dont need to repeat coding the color animation each time we want to add a new floor anim

[crimson basin]

Yeah

I've done that

Only negative part is, animations in animations doesn't show up in the building preview

[echo lotus]

wip

[uncut acorn]

Cool

I think you need to make it taller

[cobalt cloud]

is it possible to write a plugin witch affects the world gen system ?

[rain gate]

World gen?

[rain gate]

Pixel studio

[cobalt cloud]

yu
the wg is worse than from minecraft.
my phone cant run a 100 km² but two instances of mc .

the system should be completly rebuild. imagine a world map of 2005 km² fpr ohne city.

kombine with mine shafts amd a factory system could make together a game where we can decide if we want go to farming, civilisation, logostics, mining and processing or even to logostics with planes, fork lifts, warehouses,

just a few ideas. Theotown is still a pretty good game but in my eyes it has more potential then you expect

[rain gate]

What’s you phone?

[cobalt cloud]

S21

i always want to go with ROG
but repair stuff is trash

[rain gate]

I think the civilisation, agriculture, logistics, mining and planes is already added

In the vanilla game

No plugins

[cobalt cloud]

mining ?

do u mean the tunnels ?

[tidal glen]

Different operating systems...
Different means of loading the world.
Different objects.

Not all devices can handle loading 1500 plugins and 30000 assets every time you enter the city

Minecraft loads only the Chunk you are in, not the entire world.

Theotown has to load the entire world

I don't know much details about thr loading system, that's up to the Devs.
But I am pretty sure it's not that easy to make a world loading system

Also when you compare Minecraft to Theotown.
Look at what budget each game has.
How big the Dev team is
And etc

[obtuse vortex]

Like
When i made a color anim in a floor anim the color anim doesnt follow the position of the floor anim

Also

Can you do animations using lua?

[crimson basin]

i believe so

i can send you my json which i used for my plugin

[modern parrot]

Standard series e - 93

[slender briar]

Roof derails are disproportionate, way too big
The color is too messy and unsaturated

Contrast could be higher too, and ngl the balconies look a bit too big too

[safe ocean]

slowly but surely

[modern parrot]

I draw on a different scale, not the original one, and these are not balconies but loggias.

This series itself is dark.

[slender briar]

Then dont use a theotown base if you have your own scale

And dont even think about releasing it as a plugin, respect the scales for theotown plugins

[modern parrot]

I do it on the same scale as erionite

[slender briar]

The loggias 2.4 meters tall, if anything then really damn big loggkas

[slender briar]

Whis that

Ah him

His stuff is exagerrated too tbh

[modern parrot]

The plugin maker is such that I don't know if the translator translated it correctly

[slender briar]

Ik who he is just googled it

Brazilian houses guy

[modern parrot]

Well, it's a matter of personal preference, but in my opinion his house is just the right size

[slender briar]

He sacrifices realistic scale for a detailed window pattern

It can work but its a veeery fine line to cross into unrealistic drawings

[modern parrot]

With the scale that the developer has set, you won't be able to draw anything beautiful.

[cerulean cove]

It kinda looks like another building, but a good one lol

[slender briar]

Yes you will.

All in original tt scale of 3px=1.8m

[safe ocean]

Wait waht?? there is already US bank?

I swear I looked up and didnt see it

😭

[slender briar]

Its not our decision if the scale is right or wrong, it is like that and with enough skill you can draw beauty even with a paintbrush made of stones

[cerulean cove]

No, I mean it looks like a building other than the rl one

[safe ocean]

That top right is cleaaaan

[modern parrot]

Sprat told me that 1 pixel = 0.6 meters
"Sprot" Correct name

[slender briar]

Thanks

[slender briar]

Same thing

[warm yarrow]

if you gave me the most expensive tools ever i would still draw garbage

[slender briar]

I use 3px=1.8m because i draw big things and the 3px calculation is easier to aproximate

[cerulean cove]

This scale really make that church plugin hard to use lol

[slender briar]

The cologne cathedral?

The thing is huge irl too, not my fault

[cerulean cove]

Yes, and the Milan one too

[slender briar]

Milan?

[safe ocean]

Ah ok. Here was the base

[slender briar]

Ah that

[cerulean cove]

Understood, but it’s too big compared to other building

Other tt building*

[slender briar]

Just like in real life.

[modern parrot]

In my opinion, the scale here is different.

[slender briar]

There is no opinion, the scale is 1-1 measured with precision

Down to the 0.6 meters perfect

[cerulean cove]

Yea understood the idea xd, and it’s a perfect plugin, I like the texture and color all that

[slender briar]

Nah you aint, the left tower is a pixel higher, cuz in real life the left tower is 40 cm taller

0.2 meters error margin

[cerulean cove]

What’s the name of tower on the right, it’s so cool

[slender briar]

Colonius

Its on the store i think

[cerulean cove]

Got it, thank you!

[cerulean cove]

That’s very detailed and accurate xd

[slender briar]

The devil is in the details

[cerulean cove]

Agreed xd

[uncut acorn]

Add more floors based on rl

or expand by topping more at the lower section

[cerulean cove]

Quite alike actually, ig it’s just view from bottom is bit different but common to see xd

[dull plover]

me too 😭

[modern parrot]

And also, in my opinion, your buildings look soapy, like in some old city-building game.

[slender briar]

Brother

[dull plover]

guys...

it will be nice if you just you know

put aside your differences?

[slender briar]

I drew all of these i think i know enough to judge a plugin dude

"Soapy"

The whole point of tt is the style looks like simcity 300

[dull plover]

completly ignored what i said 😮‍💨

[safe ocean]

Sure can do. Is there a tutorial on how to code in multiple frames to stack for a plugin?

[modern parrot]

That's what I'm talking about

[slender briar]

Just please if you draw for theotown, draw LIKE theotown, if you want to do your own thing feel free to make a new game

[uncut acorn]

Well since you haven’t been testing it, and you’re still making it rn, try to select the layers and copy paste up

[safe ocean]

Still does have differences though

[slender briar]

But "u dont like the theotown style" is a horrid mentality

[safe ocean]

oh no I have no problem with that. Just wondering how to split it up when I go to create plugin. Like the current canvas is larger than 256 pixels

Like make USBank1.png & USBank2.png and set Y coords?

[uncut acorn]

oh

[uncut acorn]

copy paste the layer and expand upwards

(not animation or splitting frames tho)

[modern parrot]

No one limits us in this game, we can create whatever creativity we want

[safe ocean]

Yes. I know that part. Can I upload a PNG that is larger than 256 pixels tall

[uncut acorn]

not sure 🤔

[slender briar]

The art style does limit you, as soon as you leave the art style, you leave the game space, if you want to draw FOR theotown it has to look like theotown

[uncut acorn]

if limits are limits so…

[slender briar]

Let me just graffitti the louvre, no one limits me

[cerulean cove]

Well i see it as a no harm technical discussion xd

[slender briar]

Ill just shower in the bus tomorrow cuz noone limits me

[dull plover]

it looks like its getting heated

[uncut acorn]

Are you guys arguing about the game’s plugin textures?

[slender briar]

Theres no limits to anything but there are fine lines that are not meant to be crossed, if crossed, it just goes bad

[slender briar]

Just cuz you can doesnt mean you mudt

[uncut acorn]

nice one

[safe ocean]

Maybe a few more levels up

[uncut acorn]

try counting the windows at a column

[safe ocean]

that first break is around 2/3rds height

[uncut acorn]

in real life

I see that there are small amount of windows at a column in the one you’re making, while in rl has pretty much

[modern parrot]

Try building a European city without erionite plugins that has too big buildings, Chukcha (It seems he changed his nickname) And without plugins from other plugin makers that build in your opinion with too large buildings

[cerulean cove]

Since the chat is on the topic, how tall is the window 🌝

[safe ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/danny-devito-danny-nope-danny-no-gif-23264539

😅

they are 5 pixels

[slender briar]

99% of plugins are scale accurate

And erionite is not a good example for a great plugin maker

[cerulean cove]

Sunny room lol

[slender briar]

I always found his stuff clunky and desaturated

Rockfort draws in scale and he draws good, try building europe withouth him

[safe ocean]

yes, they appeared to be a bit larger than human scale when I was donig some takeoffs

[safe ocean]

could be wrong

[safe ocean]

42

[uncut acorn]

42 windows

[safe ocean]

I'm like half I beleive

time for majore copy pasta

[modern parrot]

Erionite has the best quality plugins and there are a lot of them

[slender briar]

Wrong

The best of the best is rockfort

[uncut acorn]

that’s the spirit

[slender briar]

Take example

[modern parrot]

I'm just adjusting to the scale of other plugin makers whose buildings I use the most.

[dull plover]

please tell me all the plugin names for all those buildings in the picture 🙏

[uncut acorn]

22 windows of total

[slender briar]

I accept a lot of stuff, but calling erionit the best is just a straight up insult

[cerulean cove]

Can I ask what plugin are this 2 trees? They are beautiful xd

[safe ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/bob-the-builder-gif-21863917

[uncut acorn]

Yeah sure

[slender briar]

So theres rockfort, monte, kulche, tcps, the leaf, and much more, and you call erionit the best?????

[modern parrot]

If you look at those who are actively making plugins now, then these are Erionit and Dnepropetrovsk pluginmaker

[uncut acorn]

You have 20 windows left to go

[dull plover]

aw i miss the old version of bob the builder

[cerulean cove]

Dutch guy is also awesome

[slender briar]

Activity and skill have no connection

Good and active are 2 different things

[modern parrot]

And they are both good and active.

[slender briar]

Active yes, good yes, the best? Never.

As long as rockfort is alive theyll never be the best

And neither will i

[modern parrot]

No doubt Rockfort is a legend of this game, but still, if he is a legendary plugin maker, it does not mean that he is the best

[slender briar]

Rock fort beats most, if not all, only other opponent for the title of best would be leaf

[modern parrot]

Nowadays, his plugins are not used as often as Erionite.

[modern parrot]

Leaf's plugins only include military equipment and a couple of plugins on other topics.

[slender briar]

Rockfort was drawing plugins before erionit even thought of playing theotown

[slender briar]

Excuse me?

Only military??

[modern parrot]

If I'm not mistaken, his Discord server only has military plugins.

[slender briar]

Leaf is a master of the work

[modern parrot]

His nickname is "genius", right?

[slender briar]

Ye

And he made mor than just military

Check your knowledge and then start talking plz

[modern parrot]

And who will use such plugins on a regular basis?

[slender briar]

Bro sre you even serious

Please if you are trolling tell me now

So "nobody uses rockfort plugins", "erionit is the best" , "nobody uses leafs plugins", "being active means being good" "the scale of theotown is ugly" "i draw bigger cuz other people do it"

Are you able to analyse critically or does your range of pattern recognition disadvantaged?

[modern parrot]

Don't exaggerate what I'm saying, I didn't say that the original scale is downright ugly, I said that they're just not pretty and I didn't say that if it's active, it's good

[warm yarrow]

what are you guys even talking about

[slender briar]

So thats the worst phrase you found in that whole paragraph????

[modern parrot]

I am able to subjectively evaluate people's creativity, it's just that you're stuck with the idea that if a plugin maker has been in this game for a long time, then he's automatically one of the best

[slender briar]

No, its that i saw enough creators come and go to be able to say who has the skill and who doesnt

And erionit never drew anything remotely hard

[modern parrot]

Perhaps we just have different visions of what it should be and you are building something completely different from me, that’s why there are such disagreements, this is normal

[slender briar]

I have facts, you have meanings, your meaning leads to poorly drawn plugins

Dont argue about themes you are new to

You have too little experience in plugins to be the judge of good and bad, and with so little experience its not up to you to say if you stick to the rules or not

[modern parrot]

Bro, in the scale where you think the buildings are too big, you can make more decor, now a lot of people are switching to this scale

[slender briar]

The scale is not up for discussion ffs!

Get this idea of changing the scale out of your head

"Oh we dont like the scale of tt, lets render the whole artstyle useless just for us!"

The scale is not changeable, not up for discussion, and not your decision

[modern parrot]

If the lobby didn't want it to be that big, they would have told the moderators not to accept buildings on that scale.

To the store

[warm yarrow]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-discord-drama-popcorn-gif-22199363

[slender briar]

BRO

[modern parrot]

But why then almost all plugins on such a scale are accepted? Because the game did not see this as a problem

[slender briar]

Erionit was able to because hes good enough to do it, you aint

Get good, then you can try whatever you want

But rn you have to learn first

[modern parrot]

Why do you accept eronite, sprot and chukcha plugins?

[warm yarrow]

https://tenor.com/view/piano-bruce-almighty-keyboard-keyboard-warrior-fast-typing-gif-3416345

[warm yarrow]

you guys rn

[slender briar]

Show me sprot and chukchas plugins

Not familiar

[modern parrot]

I'll show you now

[modern kestrel]

@modern parrot
A pic of your mom don't fit his 512gb hard drive
(Word directly from Leaf)

[slender briar]

Jeesh

[slender briar]

Sprots looks horrid, chukchas has a only 2 px deviation on the window

Which fits the archotecture, and is done correctly

[modern parrot]

You are very funny, I am really proud of you, what a funny sense of humor you have🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[modern kestrel]

Not my words

[modern parrot]

Leaf is so fearless, he was even afraid to tell me this here, probably afraid of the ban

[slender briar]

Stick to the theme, im not done

[near flame]

you do know he is banned right

[modern kestrel]

He obviously not

[modern parrot]

It's different for everyone, but in my opinion, sprat draws perfectly.

[near flame]

leaf is not banned?

[slender briar]

You have a grave defect in your head

[modern kestrel]

He got banned

[slender briar]

Enough niceities

But jesus

[near flame]

yeah that is what i said

[slender briar]

Sprot perfect?

[modern kestrel]

Ipu probably don't even know it

[slender briar]

You are just insane

[near flame]

kolnmann just chill my brother

i dont think it worth its

[slender briar]

Sprot perfect, is the most backwards phrase ive heard in 6 years of theotown

Do you happen to possess eyes or are they not present????

[modern parrot]

Well, I'm waiting for a ban on his Discord server, he doesn't want to hear a subjective opinion

[near flame]

idk man im not in charge there

[slender briar]

How can you call sprot perfect?????

[near flame]

yeah i disagree with ipuchi's words

[modern parrot]

This is a subjective opinion, personally I like his plugins

[slender briar]

Subjective is one thing, your meaning is just downright joker level crazy

I have to smoke a ciggy dude that phrase took me off guard

Jeesus

Ill release a plugin tonight probs so i can revive the showcase a bit

[modern kestrel]

Brotha you should stop smoking

[slender briar]

Nah, ciggies taste good

[modern kestrel]

Having cancer deffinely not

[slender briar]

Lets keep plugin channel for plugins

[modern kestrel]

At least not like my brother who do 2 pack a day

[slender briar]

I do one a day

Not enough money for two😂

[modern parrot]

Good luck

[slender briar]

I dont need luck, i have skill

[weak kestrel]

Ohh cool which plugin ? Cologne pack ?

[slender briar]

Pack no but a piece of it maybe

[weak kestrel]

Ohh sounds good

[crimson basin]

kek, kek, theres 65 plugins in pending lmao
its not dead because no one is submitting anything, its dead because plugin mods are "busy"

[rain gate]

Please show me in you opinion the best Rockfort plugin pls 🙏

[rain gate]

And can you make a tier list of the top 5 plugin maker for you 🙏🔥

🥹

[crimson basin]

kek knows good graphics, hes amazing at the art aspect. But dont trust a json kek gives you

Bunny goes to test keks plugin: crashes

i mean hes not the only one, i can name a couple of others who have it happen pretty often

more often than youd think

[warm yarrow]

i think i have that

also

any other plugins i can download

[cerulean cove]

Thank you it fixes

[crimson basin]

youre welcome

[unique kindle]

What do you mean by that

[modern parrot]

Maybe because the store is updated at the end and beginning of each month?

[crimson basin]

why do you say that

also please turn off reply pings

[modern parrot]

Turned it off, I noticed that at each end and beginning of the month a large number of plugins are received, more than just one plugin in the middle of the month

[crimson basin]

nah

they get approved whenever mods have time and updated real time in that channel

[safe ocean]

@crimson basin

hope you are well

[unique kindle]

@crimson basin what do you mean by "composition"?

[sharp dawn]

In my opinion , Montemarino is/was the best plugin creator
He makes the best European plugins
But for who makes it the closest to vanilla TT I'll go with mdk_813
His plugin's artstyle is the closer to the TT game
Btw I don't think I would be able to replicate Theo's artsyle
He used a computer for the graphics while I'm stuck with the pixly app lol

[stoic palm]

I think the best creator for sure depends on what aspect of the game your looking to compare them to

[sharp dawn]

Sure it depends on what you're trying to achieve making in TheoTown
There's plenty for anyone
And you're always free to make your own stuff if you don't/ can't find anything of your liking

Anyways you should respect plugin creators because most of them are dedicating hours of their time making beautiful art for free
And having different artsyle isn't a problem
Everybody has their own techniques

[knotty burrow]

Hello, does anyone have a gym plugin?

Where can I get this plugin?

[rain gate]

On forge server

[knotty burrow]

I don't know, do you have it?

[rain gate]

Just click on his pfp

[knotty burrow]

Can you teach me with an image from the page?

[rain gate]

Just click on his profile

[modern parrot]

Hello Rockfort, do you have any plans for plugins?

[sharp dawn]

Yes I do have plans for plugins but I don't have many time for plugins
Plugins don't pay bills unfortunately
Also don't want to rush plugins because otherwise they would look weird or straight up ugly and you would end up not using them at all lol

[slender briar]

1.Rockfort, 2.Leaf, 3.lukasbeenhere 4.zaaron

[modern parrot]

Good luck in life and in plugins too, you are a legend

[modern parrot]

Pak Gavra is the best and british pak

[rain gate]

What about kingtut101?

And justanyone is a dev?

[knotty burrow]

Where to get this plugin?

[crimson basin]

He doesn't do graphics at all

[chilly mango]

he does amazing graphics

known for hit plugins like full hd

[ripe jasper]

lol

why us lmaoo

[keen helm]

RockFort, Leaf and Kekman are top 3 imo

Fight me on that when it comes to texturing

@modern parrot Use the game scale, period

If you make oversized buildings, it wont comply with the game’s style

And that’s a no from most…

[royal fern]

whoa so good

[sharp dawn]

Thanks , appreciate it !

[knotty burrow]

Is there anyone who can make a custom plugin?

[sharp dawn]

Custom plugin ?
What do you mean

[stoic palm]

@knotty burrow let's not attack anyone.

Futhermore, as for that staduim plugin if no on has replied by now. Reposting it in various channels isn't going to make it be found. And any more reposts will be considered spam

[knotty burrow]

Stadium plugin

[stoic palm]

Okay?

I don't care what plugin your looking for

don't post it again or you will be warned for spam

[crimson basin]

its on the plugin store(i think), but i cant remember who made it

[knotty burrow]

no it is not

[crimson basin]

oh platipoes, its that guy that came out of nowhere, dropped some bomb plugins and left like it was nothing

[rain gate]

Who made DSA textures?

[crimson basin]

the newest textures were kulche

[rain gate]

🔥🔥

[crimson basin]

i think originals were from different people

[daring granite]

@slender briar can you do some german central station like frankfurt or something

[slender briar]

Frankfurt maybe

But stations are hard to make functional

[daring granite]

with the glass top

[slender briar]

Doable

Might make kiel hbf

[daring granite]

with the glass top yk

[slender briar]

Or even hamburg if god helps me

[daring granite]

endbahnhof better

ong

[slender briar]

Naaah

[daring granite]

durchgangsbahnhof sucks on theotown

[slender briar]

Endbahnhof going 300m to switch from gleis 3 to gleis 5😭

[stoic palm]

In the future, let's please try to avoid pinging plugin makers to make plugins unless they ask to be

[daring granite]

i feel you cant incorporate them into your city as good as endbahnhöfe

[daring granite]

hahahhha

[slender briar]

Yeh its just a coincidence that i want to make the stations but in the future no requests plz

[daring granite]

alr sry 😦

[daring granite]

alr sorry mate

[stoic palm]

No worries!

[slender briar]

Its ight at least you listen

Ill keep you updated if i end up making frankfurt hbf

Good ol mainhattan

[feral ridge]

What happened here?

[stoic palm]

Nothing in particular?

[feral ridge]

I saw some people argue about "who's the best plugin makers"

[cerulean cove]

Read through it then you know what happened

[feral ridge]

finished it already

[urban grove]

Looks look a ton of things happen here while I'm sleeping lol

[rain gate]

Me to

[surreal orbit]

bus fence test

[weak kestrel]

Hamburg and köln hbf are cool i like glass roofs and especially the curved ones

[slender briar]

Agree

[weak kestrel]

This is just amazing 😍

[slender briar]

Hamburh feels small but is damn huge

It looks gothic af in the morning

[weak kestrel]

Yeah gothic vibes

[slender briar]

And in köln its awesome seeing the cathedeal

[weak kestrel]

It's feels the modernist station of it's time

[slender briar]

It feels like going back to industrial revolution times ngl

[weak kestrel]

Woohh

Natural light

[slender briar]

I go to kiel once in a while on my way to kiel, always like getting out in hamburg, awesome city

But kiel main station is nice in a modern way too

An hour north from hamburg

[weak kestrel]

Yeah u should try kiel hbf with Rail deco 😁

[slender briar]

If then i draw it, a good friend lives there

[weak kestrel]

I really want german Cities's height map with clearity I like rivers and bays with cities

[slender briar]

Köln is almost in game, the premade map Rhine i think

[weak kestrel]

I want kiel and Hamburg city's map but whenever I try to make heightmap from tangram heightmapper it's not comes clear

[eager oriole]

i just made it. What do you guys think about my building?

[warm yarrow]

cool

[trim blade]

Very clean.

[cerulean cove]

Looks noice and feel I saw it somewhere lol

[lethal heron]

hellooo is there a way to delete plugin

pls help

[cerulean cove]

he,there
i want to start with scripting.
is there a documentation of all custom lua cmds, how to call stuff like recourses, power, water, money, etc ?

want to build a simple industry house which sells and buys water and energy

[eager oriole]

Thanks

[eager oriole]

lol

[urban grove]

Check the forum ig

[safe ocean]

playing with window color. maybe helps break up monotony

[slender briar]

A bit roo little contrast but the structure is awesomely done

[safe ocean]

Also need to fix grass

[safe ocean]

Thank you 🙏

[slender briar]

The circle at the top is a bit off too

[safe ocean]

I did see that in game 😭

[slender briar]

Happens to the best man

[safe ocean]

I’m afraid the fix might ripple through entire building

[slender briar]

If done right it wont

[safe ocean]

Are you meaning the helipad or the top 3 layers?

[safe ocean]

Gonna play a bit with it

[slender briar]

Yes

[safe ocean]

Yeah I think it needs to be “pulled down” so to speak. Looks too flat in comparison

[misty pawn]

You should fix the roof too

Kinda easy just mirror the lower half of the roof

[safe ocean]

Talkin about the parts with the Triangles that come out?

[misty pawn]

Ye

[safe ocean]

Feelin better?

going to add some contrast

[weak kestrel]

Cool i like of you make some shorter version so I can make a tiny skyline. 😍

[eager oriole]

Making lights.

The orange part is an animation

[weak kestrel]

Cool

[eager oriole]

thanks

[shut fjord]

Hi guys, how can I find the Apple center plugin, please help

[ripe jasper]

apple center??

[rain gate]

I think theres no apple center in ps store

[safe ocean]

Ruh roh. Uploaded the tower and it appears to be 7.5 MBs lol.

Best ways to reduce file size?

[crimson basin]

its only there because some random plugin took like 3 GB

7.5 MB is fine

by the way, helipad shadow is wrong i think

as well as the helipad in gneral

[safe ocean]

It has a concave bottom. Maybe shadow needs to add one line down since front edge hangs over?

Let me know what else you see as wrong (size, shape, color, iso, etc?)

[crimson basin]

shape

because that isnt circular

if it is, it isnt isometric

[safe ocean]

This better? I'm a little confused how it's not circle. Its iso so should appear oval?

[crimson basin]

it should bu the width should be twice the height, if you get what i mean

yours is too wide

[safe ocean]

Ohhh I see

It has some on there. Opacity is lowered. Real building is pretty flat save for concrete joints

I’ll play around with it. Thanks all

[crimson basin]

also, why is the helipad concave

shouldnt it be a raised platform?

[safe ocean]

I guess color matches real in game color? most critiques I get are to match what's there

[safe ocean]

After further review, it is cylindrical haha

I'm gonna actually add more detail there too

[unique kindle]

Are plugins of that file size even allowed in the Plugin Store?

[crimson basin]

well it really depends

for a singular building, nope

for a mega pack, its okay

[unique kindle]

Ok

So is there like a maximum file size limit or you can pretty much upload any plugin file size you want, no matter if its big or small?

[crimson basin]

not that i know of

essentially, plugin mods make the call to approve or disapprove based of that

if we find them to be unreasonably large, we would disapprove

[safe ocean]

circle looking better @crimson basin ?

[mighty dove]

hello

how do i add more than one type of influendce

[safe ocean]

Using lines in the json I believe?

what you trying to add?

[mighty dove]

i mean

i can put more than one?

[safe ocean]

Yeah I’ve done like park and culture in one plugin. Keeping it limited and not like 60 each or so

[mighty dove]

how

[golden hare]

Work in progress

[mighty dove]

hey can i define the plugin price

like in the plugin store

[uncut acorn]

Yesss I love it

[uncut acorn]

Loved the adjustment

[safe ocean]

Really appreciated the input. Ended up taking a row off each floor at the windows cause the proportions were way off

[robust zenith]

Good 👌

[cerulean cove]

Wow that rock

[cerulean cove]

Now maybe it satisfy the 1:2 but feels like not a circle in another way lol

But I don’t think it’s good to adjust based on eye

[safe ocean]

🫠

[cerulean cove]

But I think it’s good either way xd

A minor detail and doesn’t have to change, but the white and dark spike they have more geometry relationship, current plugin is not 100% accurate on that, and create a different feeling, but i think that’s fine too, but just to help mention in case it’s needed

[safe ocean]

hahahaa i kid

sorry. maybe sense of humore wouldn't be taken well

[cerulean cove]

Wot lol

[safe ocean]

I posted a gif and deleted haha

https://tenor.com/view/youre-outta-here-bye-kick-gif-15735059

was just teasin

you are right though. the window portion nests between the angled walls

[cerulean cove]

lol, well as I said, it doesn’t have to change, just something i noticed

[safe ocean]

I can take a look, shouldn't be a hard change

☺️

[cerulean cove]

Np your call ☎️ xd

[cerulean cove]

In another look, it feels like looking at a Dutch guy creation xd

[golden hare]

Yes! It's an attempt to imitate his style, the truth is that I really like him as a creator and I can't wait for him to publish more plugins.

So I set about making some

This is another one I made imitating its aesthetics

[urban grove]

Looks nice but please put a watermark or something. Someone could steal this and upload it without your permission (unless youre fine with that)

[golden hare]

No, I have problems with them doing that, but thanks for letting me know.

[cerulean cove]

Me too, been waiting so long xd. And that’s a great work to resemble his style xd, and I like the lighter color in lighting part 👍

[cerulean cove]

Noice, does this have a rl one?

[dire light]

I'm personally not sure, but it would be a huge flaw if you couldn't.

[wicked kindle]

Im sure some of yall use Ibis Paint X in making plug ins so heres a simple tip for quick tile mapping for ye canvas

Achieved with this function

[crimson basin]

by the way, lower corners are 4 pixels

so you should use both side pixels as well

[wicked kindle]

Guh

[crimson basin]

where is it

[wicked kindle]

All I see is by 2 pixels

[crimson basin]

lol increase the y coords

i think handle y

y positive

[wicked kindle]

I was taking the in game tile as reference

[crimson basin]

hmm

here are the reference tiles

templates

[golden hare]

Do you mean if it is already in a ZIP, or if there is a building in real life that it is inspired by?

[wicked kindle]

Das odd,

Still divides to 2 pixels long ig so must be just the different shade of green thats throwing me off

Ahhh, I see

Thanks for letting me know

[feral ridge]

It makes sense

[wicked kindle]

The grid tiles arent necessarily perfect with building tiles I see

Yeah its like, 1 pixel off

This makes me commit die

I cant unsee that now

[cerulean cove]

Ohhh I mean if there is a real life corresponding ir inspiration xd

[wicked kindle]

Welp, dat do be a first for me then

[cerulean cove]

It seems ground tile just a combine of 2 building border

[wicked kindle]

La estructura

[hardy anvil]

User Ibis paint ☝️

[wicked kindle]

Do u use Digital pen at 1 pixel? Or the dot pen?

[hardy anvil]

Digital
And for the texture, I made it myself (custom)

[wicked kindle]

I see

[crimson basin]

jeffri, if you dont mind me asking, how much are you doing commissions for

just curious

[acoustic gull]

Hi, I’m new in the game, and I need some help, someone can help me ? ( my English it’s bad )

[crimson basin]

what do you need help with

[hardy anvil]

From the beginning of the commission until now it is still around $75.56
Or in Indonesian Rupiah currency it is around Rp. 1,182,000

[crimson basin]

thats actually quite a lot, wow

typically how much is eahc person paying, around $10?

[hardy anvil]

$5 for 1 plugin
But I have a price list that buyers can choose from, so they can decide the price they want.

Starting Price $3

[acoustic gull]

I don’t now the meaning of “transportation”, what I need to do ? ( sorry if this chat it’s not for this )

[cyan sky]

Its mean you should build railways,bus/taxi,MRT,elevated trains,airport,etc

[acoustic gull]

Thankssss🙏

[crimson basin]

That's cool, sounds like a win win kind of situation

[hardy anvil]

Lol
true

There are still 6 more big plugins waiting to be created,
After this maybe I should take a break. 🛌

[feral ridge]

Tried my best 🙏

Now what's left are the shadows, grass and the concrete

is it good?

Heavily inspired by ur_sc4_guy he's very talented

[uncut acorn]

Why can’t I edit prices? 🤨

I just tapped the prices text box and it doesn’t let me put numbers on them

@crimson basin sorry for the ping again…

can you tell me the solution of how can I edit them?

[foggy schooner]

How do I get sprites from the game?

[rain gate]

World textures

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=5659

[feral ridge]

Maybe refresh the site

[uncut acorn]

It doesn’t solve anything

[feral ridge]

hmm

[crimson basin]

Because RCI doesn't use price

[uncut acorn]

oh

[feral ridge]

What is rci?

[uncut acorn]

residential commercial industrial

[feral ridge]

Oh lol

first time hearing that word for a long time

[uncut acorn]

Imma put this as a tip for plugin creators in my upcoming video

[crimson basin]

Also monthly price BTW :)

[uncut acorn]

yeah sure noted

[wicked kindle]

Ended up using both grid tiles and what ill refer to as asset tile

[cerulean cove]

Looks like I’m correct

[feral ridge]

It's too big for a house 😭

So uh thought?

[wicked kindle]

Dis do be quick

[wicked kindle]

I made a cake :D

[cerulean cove]

I always wonder how people do circle lol

[feral ridge]

Num num

[cerulean cove]

Pin only have some example with specific diameter I think

But I didn’t dig a lot as well xd

[feral ridge]

It's very easy

[cerulean cove]

Is there a source of material show that easily and generally? Xd

[feral ridge]

No sadly

[urban grove]

Maybe check the pin?

[feral ridge]

you can learn it by yourself

[urban grove]

@cerulean cove what about this? #plugin-discussion message

[cerulean cove]

Alright that’s kinda in plan maybe

[cerulean cove]

Thank you! Yes I saw it previously, but it’s like show an example of a circle of 2x2 tile, so if I want to draw a circle on 3x3, kinda not sure how or what is better way to do it

[feral ridge]

Circles lol

[cerulean cove]

Isee xd, are they guaranteed isometric? Or it’s more like by eye to draw it?

[feral ridge]

Maybe hmmm if you want a isometric I can but lazy asf

[cerulean cove]

lol got it, no need to trouble, maybe I can learn gradually ig

[feral ridge]

yes you can do it

[covert root]

Are these exceeding the baseplate now?

.

[dire light]

Yeah, think so

[covert root]

What. so is exceeding?

[cerulean cove]

I’m guessing this part

Unless you say that part is not on ground but in air, which is also feasible xd

[covert root]

But I wonder why is this approved when it does it here too

But it doesn't go Over these

[dire light]

Reviewers probably missed it or it's meant to be like that

[cerulean cove]

I would agree this is exceeding too based on what approving message say xd

[covert root]

Canttt beee

[cerulean cove]

Yea I would guess it’s not 100% consistent xd

[haughty moth]

Bank of America from Los Angeles

[cerulean cove]

Noice! Though I did get headache looking at diagonal building lol

[covert root]

Please whoever disapproved this, please say what is wrong in this

[covert root]

But nothing wrong in this

Both are my plugins

[dire light]

The side on the right

[dire light]

I guess they were more lenient towards buildings which looked like they should have a rectangular base

But who am I to say this

I'm just another random person

[covert root]

Aa okay

[cerulean cove]

No that’s not reason

[dire light]

It isn't?

[cerulean cove]

Unless right side is in the air (based on window texture it can’t be), the right side ground exceed base plate will create issue

Imagine you put another building right next to it on the right, the image will block the other building and all be wrong

Space and geometry wise

[dire light]

Ah alright

[cerulean cove]

Tbh that is also the same issue with Jeffri commission timesquare building

In the store*

But I find a way to hide the issue because the building is noice

[hardy anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/smiling-smiling-cat-cat-cute-kitty-gif-15081434

[golden hare]

ah, it's a fictional building.

[feral ridge]

its exceeding the baseplate

[dire light]

Yeah that's what I'm pointing out

[charred skiff]

how do i make windows look like windows

i mean the pattern

[wicked kindle]

Considering the consistency in the angles, and the height of the building, it does give the impression of it

[wicked kindle]

Try a rather white-ish highlight maybe?

[covert root]

Maybe I should put it on 4x4 baseplate then

[wicked kindle]

Good building tho, good work

[covert root]

Thanks🙂

[charred skiff]

?

[wicked kindle]

Honestly idk this is my first time making a plug in lo

[charred skiff]

ok, np

[cerulean cove]

Xdddd

[cerulean cove]

Ah got it 👍

[eager oriole]

if you don't know how to make a window look like a window in theotown, i think finding some theotown buildings with big windows and see how to make one of those styles

[eternal sail]

I will make this building that I think would be a 3x3

(I do this mainly because in the pack I'm making I see a lack of department buildings)

[hollow wedge]

Uhh singaporean building?

[eternal sail]

no buildings in mexico xd

That building is in Mexico City

[hollow wedge]

Nah I was suggesting

For people who make pkuggibs

I had a stroke bruh

[eternal sail]

Ahhhh

XD

[charred skiff]

i already looked at some theotown skyscrapers, but i didnt understand how they made windows

[charred skiff]

is this isometric?

[orchid sorrel]

depends on your definition

isometric sure, but it doesn't follow the grid axes

[weak kestrel]

Cool lamp

[orchid sorrel]

perlin noise to resemble clouds could be a good first step

preferably on a separate layer, for your own convenience

[charred skiff]

wdym?

[charred skiff]

thanks)

[charred skiff]

how can i make it?

[charred skiff]

this is the reference btw

[safe ocean]

I think it's the base. maybe shift the 3rd pixel down one?

[orchid sorrel]

wdym "wdym"

[safe ocean]

oh and maybe drop the right lantern one

[orchid sorrel]

where is the question

[orchid sorrel]

use your software's perlin noise function

[charred skiff]

like this?

[charred skiff]

is there one in aseprite?

[orchid sorrel]

probably not considering it's not something you'd use in conventional pixelart

try looking for a plugin

[orchid sorrel]

your lights still aren't level

and the scale being completely wrong is another thing

[charred skiff]

fixed

[orchid sorrel]

no it is not lol

[safe ocean]

feel like the base needs a little depth too. maybe a few shades darker on back pixels

[charred skiff]

ok

[safe ocean]

oh it is tall lol didn't think of that

skyscraperlights.png

[charred skiff]

made it smaller

[charred skiff]

ok

[charred skiff]

which one i have to raise or lower?

[orchid sorrel]

make them follow the 2-1 pattern

[charred skiff]

what is that?

[charred skiff]

like this?

[orchid sorrel]

I'm not sure what changed?

[charred skiff]

height

of the lamps

[orchid sorrel]

I'm not sure how would that be relevant to them being isometric

uhh are there supposed to be 3 lanterns?

[charred skiff]

you said to make it 2-1 pattern

[charred skiff]

yeah, but i will only do 2

[orchid sorrel]

yeah?? and how does that correlate with height

[charred skiff]

what you maent when you said 2-1 pattern?

what should be 2-1 pattern?

[orchid sorrel]

draw a line at said angle from one of the lamps

the second lamp should touch that line as well

(this is why geometry is taught in school)

[charred skiff]

like this?

[orchid sorrel]

yes

[charred skiff]

and i should lower the left lamp

[orchid sorrel]

left?

[eternal sail]

Wip (I didn't manage to make the circular design of the center in case anyone asks)

[charred skiff]

which one should i raise or lower?

the left one

it is not touching the line

[orchid sorrel]

you either lower the right one or raise the left one

it's really not that complicated

[charred skiff]

it have to be like this if said so

[orchid sorrel]

no???????

wtf are you on

[charred skiff]

why?

[honest thorn]

can someone tell me a drawing app for plugins

[charred skiff]

pc or mobile?

[honest thorn]

mobilw

ons that isn't pixly

nor novix

[charred skiff]

idk then

[charred skiff]

what i did wrong?

[honest thorn]

pixly doesn't pop up on the play store

[charred skiff]

i think you have to download it from google

[honest thorn]

oh

[honest thorn]

imma do

babye

[orchid sorrel]

I honestly have no idea how did you get this far without understanding the basic principles of.. drawing axis aligned things..?

[charred skiff]

i drew two lines

and make it so they touch lines

[orchid sorrel]

they quite very clearly aren't aligned

but I've done my thing

it's up to you whether you follow or not

[charred skiff]

but i did it so they touch two lines

[slender briar]

1 pixel off, right one is in the red line, left one is below

Plus one light is in the line the other above

[orchid sorrel]

my brother in christ they literally do not?????????????????

the right light is literally like 3 pixels higher

[slender briar]

Exactly

[orchid sorrel]

I literally can't

at least I'm glad I missed the conversation that happened here on the 23rd lol

[honest thorn]

It's 2 pixels off

[orchid sorrel]

3, to be exact

but maybe a tiny bit of leeway won't hurt

[slender briar]

What between me and mister i dont like the scale?

[charred skiff]

how can i fix it

i did everything like you guys said

[orchid sorrel]

exactly lol

[slender briar]

Yeh sorry i just cant with people that want to change stuff thats literally written in stone

[honest thorn]

make the second light touch the red line

[charred skiff]

?

[orchid sorrel]

I don't intend to be rude but do you really lack spatial imagination that much....

yes that's the solution

great

[charred skiff]

did i fix it?

[honest thorn]

good job you have common sense

[orchid sorrel]

yes

[charred skiff]

ok

thanks

is the light color good?

[orchid sorrel]

looks somewhat dark for light

you should use night animations for it anyway

[honest thorn]

do rhis

[orchid sorrel]

it's a good idea to make the light source itself much brighter/less saturated than the haze

[charred skiff]

is it better?

[orchid sorrel]

that's just awfully saturated

I'd say the hue was alright

[charred skiff]

i use convolution matric to make the light btw

[orchid sorrel]

I'm not sure why would you need that

it's just blur

[charred skiff]

lowered saturation

[orchid sorrel]

you might as well do it manually

[charred skiff]

it gives this light effect

[orchid sorrel]

I kinda beg to differ

but anyway

you might prefer to actually use a night filter to see how it'd look at night

[charred skiff]

how can i find it?

the night filter

[orchid sorrel]

I don't think aseprite has a setting specifically for theotown's night mode lmao

I don't know the night mode's filter hex code off the top of my head

it's probably out there somewhere in this server

[charred skiff]

hmm

okay

i will find it

[orchid sorrel]

it'd appear that it's 4C5999

[charred skiff]

thanks

[honest thorn]

help I accidentally crashed pixly

what do I do

[orchid sorrel]

that's not an achievement pixly is rather known to crash every 5 minutes lol

[honest thorn]

apparently 12600 is alot of pixels

[orchid sorrel]

that's like slighltly more than 100x100

it really is not

[honest thorn]

It's just a white screen

imm gonna download a new one

[charred skiff]

how transparent should i make it??

[orchid sorrel]

it's a multiply filter

multiply it on top of your image

[honest thorn]

wait it's 128k

is that al9t

[orchid sorrel]

no???

unless you mean like 128k x 128k, because there is a distinction

[honest thorn]

no total pixels is 128k

[charred skiff]

how?

[orchid sorrel]

a fullhd screen displays 2 million pixels

[orchid sorrel]

probably creating a separate layer with said color set on multiply mode would be the easiest

[charred skiff]

i did it, but where can i find the multiply mode?

[orchid sorrel]

in layer properties

[charred skiff]

like this

[orchid sorrel]

no

unless it just looks extra weird without a black background

no idea what did you do, but it's not what I've told you to do

[charred skiff]

multiply

[orchid sorrel]

yeah you are doing it wrong

[charred skiff]

i just clicked multiply button in layer properties...

[orchid sorrel]

for the layer that's just said filter color and it's above all else?

[charred skiff]

yeah

[orchid sorrel]

might as well send me the file

[charred skiff]

check your dms

[orchid sorrel]

you aren't using the correct color

not sure where did you get your color form

fmro

[charred skiff]

.

[orchid sorrel]

yeah??

ok my picker was on global

but that's still not the same color considering you like halved the opacity

[charred skiff]

i couldnt find the color

of night filter

[orchid sorrel]

I literally gave it to you

you are using it

you just made it transparent

[charred skiff]

oh

shouldnt it be transparent?

[orchid sorrel]

..no??

what would be the point of blending it then

[charred skiff]

so i have the color

and the layer

what should i do now?

[orchid sorrel]

then you should have your filter all set?

[charred skiff]

yeah

then

[orchid sorrel]

then work on your lights?

[honest thorn]

every time I try to import an image it says the frame is to small

[charred skiff]

but how? if the night filter is not transparent

[orchid sorrel]

my brother in christ

multiply blending mode blends the colors

there is no transparency involved

[charred skiff]

i did it

i think

[orchid sorrel]

"it"?

yeah it works
