Ok
funy
What app are you using?
Aseprite
Download where?
you have to buy it
here is the website
aseprite is good for drafts and geometry but you'll need something else like paint.net for the texturing
or a lot of plugins, if you prefer
or just use online photoshop for texturing xd
oh okay
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
Just use good ol' Pixly app
Reminds me of Commander Abab's plugins lol
crazy good
how is the path looking?
Looking good
Nice curves
woah, legend himself
thanks
What's wrong with my plugin?
Thank you for the tutorial!
Rockfort, do you have time to create plugins?
We are all really looking forward to your new plugin.
i love my 0 quality software
Can anyone make recommendations for an application to create plugin frames?
JEFRI mart
Oh I'm sure he will, you just gotta be patience.
I'm not sure if that's a compliment or insult 😭
Niice
Roquefort has a lot of bills🏦💵💸 that need to be paid and so this most likely won't happen anytime soon
You do realize he's a human right? He has life he doesn't make plugins 24/7. Just wait I'm sure in the near future he will either upload or update one of his existence plugins.
Why plugins are cooler than ever:
Shader name
What needs this tank texture?
No matter how badass is your feedback
🤗
Lol
i love those night animations
what
"What do you think I should improve about this tank and it's fine just give me the most harsher critique" ....or I think

Also big thanks to forge
What is the name of this plugin? Can I request the plugin file???
Isn't it still on development 
Please release the plugin soon
🔥
By the way, can I message you to ask something???
Scroll up
Can you reply to my message? @misty pawn
Wich

Waiting
that looks like that one blood and iron map that i forgot the name
🤔
show me sauce
P L E A S E H E LP !
How do you draw the roof for this building? I haven't been able to come up with a solution for hours now. I would be most grateful if you could help me.
Please
First you start by knowing what type of roof you want
Or types
Then arrange them in a proper way (just the basic shape)
Then start detailing
get an idea of what the roof will look like first
Where can I get ur plugins
I can make a helicopter if you want
Noiceee, I hope it has night animation xd
The structure is complete. Time for finishing and revision!
Any suggestions?
Fixing one part of a building that is impossible in the real world lol
Nice
I'm a little nauseous looking at it. lack of trees!
Hi how does the plugin exist in Theotown
Not sure if that’s plugin problem 
You can add some noice
like i did in this building
but less
Keep background transparent imo
Not yet
Nice texturing
Can you invite me into the server?
@twilit stone watch the caps when you post
Sorry
It's in his bio
Billboard server KRI
I see thanks
desaturate it
thanks
now its nicer
Thanks for the tips!
Indomaret
Why don't you post it on the store?
Hi
Nice
Difference between old and new version. Thank you all for your suggestions!
Hello, can someone give me the Camp Nou stadium if it is there or help me create a Plugin (I think that's how it is written) of the Camp Nou
whoever has it DM
How to install the ttplugin file?
I tried to install it but got error, Even though my theotown is the latest version
Some references for my future plugins
Baku ??
Yeah
blu
so true
I have an idea for my comeback plugin, but this isn't gonna be available for a while
BDO's new headquarters in Makati City, Philippines
Designed by Foster and Partners it's beautiful
Great
Cool
I hope you comeback in your server
Similar to Norra Tornen
I will (soon)
Still gotta rework it
nice one
What is this plugin?
Glass roof
Noiceee, is this deco or road deco?
Just decoration
I don't know how to make road decoration because I don't understand the tutorial
Ahhh Isee, thank you!
Ahhh Isee, ig can ask here (bc I don’t really know how, but can help too if there is example)
I think make it a road deco as well will be very useful and used for many cases
I have already asked months ago but they just said read the tutorial
Every time I see a tutorial video, instead of step by step, it's a timelapse video lol
I would like to make road decoration too
Sounds about right 😂 I feel you
Yeh
omg nice plugin
Thanks:)
which one did you saw? This one it pretty easy imo https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=7211
Yeah I saw that tutorial I can't understand it I would need a step by step tutorial
the only difference is frames
thats all
right-top frame comes first, then left-down, left-top, right-down
Is there some ready road decoration where I can just add my glass roof
I don't know if it would work if there is
Can I just change those frames with mine and then my glass roof will be road decoration
only in this order #plugin-discussion message
Or then what app I need to put them codes in the json
Visual Studio Code
Yeah
How to make .ttplugin files outa archives?
@charred skiff How's the Roma Termini plugin?
thx
I am currently at COP29, i will send it when i will be at home
I am leaving rn
What is cop 29?
Wow Isee xd, fancy 🌝
Yeah lol
did they said that humankind going to die?
kinda boring if no
i think this is not how to make rotations
I just want to make another version of this building. Not for rotation 🙂
How to make plugins???

No lol, the conference itself is among presidents of countries
And i am not a president as you can see
Xd
im not sure
About what?
Xd
It is my small secret
Maybe i am a president
Maybe no
You will never know
WIP
lol
Brutalist architecture
how is this path looking?
oh, okay, looks cool, but complicated
improved
I wish I could go down those stairs. I'm curious.
xd
there is nothing there
Whoops I have already booked a ticket to go there.
lol
any suggestions?
noise
anything else?
ambient occlusion
what is that?
RTX
wait a min
its basically this
on the edges of each side of your building you should draw transparent black line like such
here is an example at the end of this tutorial here
do i really need it?
You asked for suggestions i gave you one
you ''need'' it if you want your building to be better
i dont know how to do it
Alright lemme give you an example wait a minute
ok
this is a really mediocre tutorial
please do not the pillow shading
some shading
what exactly is this building anyway
Roma Termini
wdym?
like, the name tells me nothing
what is the building
looks like a modern factory or something
railway station in rome
just google it lol
i will make it a road decoration, and you can put it on the railroad and it will be on the top
yeah you're gonna have a hard time with that
why?
because road decos are 1x1
composition time
have fun splitting frame into million parts
and then have it spectacularly break when you try to rotate it
i will make a composition then
that's exactly what I'm talking about
no idea, it was your idea to make that building in particular
if I wanted to make something like this I'd make it modular
and use specialised 1x1 parts
also i got some references in 3d
considering it's rectangular it won't be going on the plugin store unless you provide the rotation frames
why?
because rules are rules
wth
why is it so hard(
i will never get my plugin to the plugin store
what is a point of making my plugins evryday
i dont want to make them anymore
However, it is not mandatory to provide rotational frames for square buildings. For non square buildings each part should be rotation aware and also be buildable using a single composition building for convenience.
i dont have any motivation now
It's normal in plugin making
I told you it's not a good idea to begin with large projects
everything is mandatory lol
rest and come back with some motivation
that's why you should stick to simpler plugins until you figure out the technical stuff
especially for a big project
also, you can just upload your plugin in the showcase or somewhere on discord
yep
i am trying my best, but everytime after i make my plugin everything goes wrong and it gets dissaproved
i am tired of this
i dont want to make them anymore
youve actually improved a lot
Lol
and usually rectangle buildings are okay to be uploaded as a square
because the plugin store is not meant for beginners, you need at least some experience to upload your plugins
but in this case, you need compositions
you just need to work more on your plugins
Amsterdam Test No.1
Unless its your first plugin
actually find a structure that is a perfectly square or smth that don't exciding the limits
what
It means I'm not a beginner🎉
it's your choice 🤷♂️
Ive seen some not really high-quality works uploaded to the store only cuz they were first work of the author
we do give some leeway for beginners
but it's not like their plugins can be completely noncompliant
sometimes people in tt are harsh about a low quality plugin lol
including myself

s
the coding is impressive ngl
Wdym
only im angry is the quality of the plugin
Skill issue
Imagine approve plugin only because it have properly made json
Not necessarily first plugin, maybe 4th or 5th, it depends on the skill
fr lol
do you not love it when people rage over 1 below average quality plugin approved
"average quality" lmao
I can't even imagine how good the mood of the person who approved this plugin was
Yall bullied the person that created it enough for them to delete it so it doesn't even matter
theotown community moment
Lovely

weak ahh wifi lol

my data is stronger than wifi
Dude charge your phone
My first texture
Hello, there's somewhere written where I can do plugins?
I need code abilities to do that?
And can I do this from phone?
Check the pin to get started. If you need any questions, just feel free to ask them here.
Good luck on your plugin making journey!
This link?
No?
Okay, thank you so much!
Btw I'm not a plugin creator :)
Ah, I see this

Nice

thank you, that's a great way of saying "political"
p-word
theotown slang
Dose accepting an update take different measures from posting a new one 😵💫been a while and my farming update haven't been accepted yet
the last plugin was approved over two weeks ago
I can confirm the last plugin I approved was 2 weeks ago
Lazy
lazy loading is great invention
Here should I fix this that those above the yellow is as dark as above the red?
@covert root hey why I can't able to message you ??
Should be able to
The Asian ph packs is back rename to: the peace area packs
nice
Yes
Okaay
Done
Cuute
Should I release this shi
Make frames for other rotations and it will be really good
Its kinda cool to release even in this looking tbh
Just my advice
Oh, the only thing i noticed is shadow
Its need to be tilted to the right
Check pins
You mean the shadow under the building?
Eas
Maybe I will delete the shadow
And add the better one some day
Maybe
Here you go
Yugoslavia yeeeeeahh
It's not necessary for ur plugin to reach the store for everyone to use it
U can just create a .zip /ttplugin file
And share it to the ppl who want it
Which means u won't need to worry about it not having rotation frames
Albeit it might be better if it does
It's been a while since I played this game
I thought you did 17 the other day, no?
i think making a batman vehicles pack would be awesome.. like some construction trucks but modified to be a batmobile
maybe logging trucks turned into a batmobile
Bat Tractor?
The city of Gotham needs someone to cultivate crime and replant the seed of justice..
No, I didn't feel like it
It must be used to infiltrate Superman’s home farm 🌝
hello guys, sorry i'm new here. How can i download these plugins? i cannot found the download button. Thanks!
Use the in game plugin store
ah, okay. Thanks Evan!
Happy to help!
Haha oh
The quality of replys I just can't 😂😂😂
When are you posting, I dont want this. I NEED THIS
Xddd
Hi guys. I have a question. When creating the "composition" such a problem arose (see the video). A rotation version of the buildings appeared, although this was not planned. Tell me how to fix it. Thank you
Compositions have to be rotation aware.
Each part should have 4 frames and obviously "rotation aware":true
@rain gate this you?
Its scary when JA pings you just for question like this
Im afraid Alpha forgot to add 4th frame for something in the Electrical pack
It is indeed a fighter jet
Really? I was about to download it. Maybe you could report it to Alpha?
is there an error on plugin showcase or ppl just dont make plugins anymore
Plugin moderator hasn't approved many plugins recently. Remember they're volunteers and they have life so they can't exactly do their job 24/7
they're busy.
Yep
They have their own lives bro.
i dont think its that much of an issue
i may admit too 🤷♂️ I am so busy with my life that I can only barely touch my plugins.
lol
i am only watching here
still, 1 plugin a week is crazy
games dead?
ok
What? No
No, people make plugins with pretty high frequentcy, just moderators cant approve them all fast enough
rly?
do you expect to have a volunteers that have 24/7 free time lol
But no worries 😉
I'm not a plugin moderator but I'm pretty sure there are hundreds of plugins waiting to be approved. It's just the approval process that takes a while to get through.
they're just normal people
dont wanna get wanted because of your plugins?
they have a life
Did you grant them permission to upload your plugin?
ok, js because there used to be daily stuff in plugin showcase
there isnt daily stuff
Idk who’s but if gets approved (I don’t think) yeah np 😉
thats the bot sending in plugins that got accepted
I'm guessing because back then the plugin standards were pretty low or maybe because of that Commander guy
"violence for everyone"
Commander ABAB?
also, Forge, can you please DM me your server's invite? i left by an accident
Is that a yes or a no?
Yes
such a cool guy
Although, I will disapprove the plugin on the grounds of AI generated description nonsense
I'm pretty sure he doesn't make war related plugins....
😂
AI-generated descriptions is something new
Imagine using AI to make plugin descriptiona
Me who uses it to describe a building in the code: 👀
This is the real plugin
its not that hard to say what you made lmao
Yeah Forge would never make war related plugins ☺
nope he's more a coder rather having a good quality plugins
for sure!
such a peaceful guy
Forge, can you? #plugin-discussion message
Yeah
also, why you dont post your plugins in store?
some of them could get approved
...maybe
They use too much texture space 💀
how much?
A lot
there was plugin with weight of 16mb
What
Age Of Sail bruh
Well it used to and it's definitely one of the biggest plugins in TheoTown
but it got forgotten by devs?
it wasnt updated how i know
thats a reason why i want to get a priveleged key
to make cool stuff 🔥
my current maximum is fog, lmao
Justify your reasoning for needing a privileges via private forum message to Lobby or me and then it will be decided.
By cause do you mean a specific plugin, or just a general cause?
More opportunities to experiment with scripts and possibly create unusual plugins?
I dont really can draw well, but i can Lua, so In my free time I also want to create something
That is very open source minded xd 👍
Imagine stealing someone's plugin, making the description using AI, and then trying to upload it to the store
Cool that you can do lua
The hell is person who did it
Yes but it takes some time
I have almost 200hrs in TT now, I only played about 40 of them
fr lol
and being so bad at hiding it
That’s what might happen to open source, and people already considered it 🌝
I know it's chat gpt already.
So my max respect for people doing open source 
Not the AI's desc guys 😂
"Would you like details on a specific system or technology?"
lmao
bro just copy pasted it
fr lol
Waiting for age of sail in the store by this guy 🗣️
God
Wow pretty consistent, like around 500k per plugin
Erionit's son
Yea I believe I didn’t get much from his plugin but maybe that few is enough lol
Wot, how many plugin
"new warthunder update is looking great"
I actively delete plugin I don’t use though 🌝
hmm
Why not
K
Someone reported this... but I fail to see the issue
Perhaps whomever reported this can elaborate?
i just sent it here, so i can see if someone got messaged by him too
Yeah I am not worried about you or that message
I am more confused about the report we got regarding it. Doesn't really make sense
Is this good?
Missing plane id
And british Airways
Pheraps make the blue bottom less big
i forgot these xd
1 less pixel in the front?
Maybe 2
Just make so you can write british Airways
im looking on this A320, so i can see how much space i gonna have
MAX8?
yes
FYI it’s not a plane. Stop believing Boeings cope.
Why yall are aircraft fans
cuz its cool
Nah
finished the plane id and the "British Airways"
Wanted to keep it simple so all of them probably only have 2 frames each
It's easy fix but don't see much.... difference if they are put in a compact way
Added the ID on the planes
Nicee house!
What app do you use?
pixel studio
I mean I would like to approve plugins, but I really dont want to force myself to do that if Im not feeling motivated. Afterall, I have no obligation to approve it.
haha Oh I know. and i'm sure once it starts, gotta roll through a bunch
As I said before, I appreciate the mods
theres like almost 50 now
thats gotta be fun
last time there were 50, took me 3 hours
I could try finding my theotown login somewhere, since i have 0 plugins on my laptop i should be able to test out plugins fairly easily
I just need to log into the forums
Does anyone know any plugins to make buildings more lively?,Please suggest some for me.
Decorations plugins like people and props pack, UDS pack, and many more.
I’ve downloaded almost all of them, there aren’t many on the store, I need more. I think the only option left is on Discord.
Then it's just the placement of those decos. I'm also using those plugins btw. Try to look at other people's builds and see the decos placement and how they managed to make the place look more lively and detailed.
Medium store
Only 3×3
Where do i get a 3x3 template?
BIG ROOF
Massive
iirc i wanted to do bus stop shelters
who wants a landmark plugin?
maybe i should finally do some more bus stop shelters and relase them
i will share it here if someone wants
wdym by...
...nvm, i know what u mean
looks like another Shinjuku building
is this the building next to the Shinjuku Center bldg?
what is the json that remove this green zone? (credits to bokoblo)
what
Eh?
template*
If you mean the template
Then simply use eraser
If you drawn on top of it directly then......rip xd you should redo shadows
Slow az net oof
Too big
too big for what
plugin
Ik
But this building have triangle-shaped roof irl, I didn't want to do another roof
no he was just going to copy paste a plane on the same layer as the baseplate when you can separate everything and even hide it 🗿
Is there a plugin where we can put industries without pollution?
I didn't made that actually🤫
Just downloaded a plugin which adds a building which reduces pollution
How us it called
trees
apparently some plugin trees are op at preventing pollution
of the trees in game, vanilla, forest trees and those tall ones work the best
the tiny baby ones dont do much
600k during my fictional country independence day.
Thanks y'all.
I think its not too bad (only the "Prime Air" is bad)
Wip
still wip
Have you posted the plugin? I would like to download
is there a plugin to disable cars
o well thanks
nice
thanhks
Wip 😎
Sry i completely forget this 🫠
What should I do? Also it didn’t show the info in your above image in the loading stage
yeah np, just check on the plugin.
You mean I click apply?
I wonder what this window is about, I don’t understand what it say in “what’s that”, any plain language to explain what it do and what’s the impact?
just check on the plugin and click apply, if not the plugin will not work.
Good place to log 🌝 xd
hmm, looks fine. 
Are you working on Canary wharf's other stuffs 🙂🙂
Looking good 😊
#plugin-suggestions message
im poland there are smillar things to this, but they aren't arches, but a signs
Tokyo? Or London? 🤔
That’s mine!
also 2 are private
and the office is by dekuz in store
London
I will probably often draw buildings from there, this city attracts me very much with its architecture, both modern and historical
No and never
Finished both
enjoy guys
you should apply for the plugin creator role
oh, how can i do that?
night animation will be added soon
#information pins, mail
i need a person who knows how to code night animation
please dm if you can
lol join the army of uploading plugin file on discord xddd
Noice, I like the blue
lol
Didn't realize this was a thing
Mexican high rise apartment building
Nice
To be fair it looks rather ugly
I don't like how large it is
And it feels empty overall
The colors are rather nice though
That and also maybe downsizing it a bit
Some wooden houses I'm working on (at a snail's pace, though). Right one is practically finished, I think, and left one is WIP. I plan to do at least 3 in total. It's also my first plugin! I felt like posting them here :>
It looks nice :], you have potential.
i'd make the left one more textured
he said left one is WIP
Besides the ugly noise on top guess it's good
Someone who actually started with small stuff waw :0 also the wooden one looks amazing
Thank you, I will try to improve the building with the suggestions you have given me.
Final result
Nice
Awww man, I wanted to add Garuda in iy game
I couldn't improve the building much because I don't have much time right now, but I tried to improve it a bit. I'll improve it even more later. 
this is Prime Air not Garuda
Aye thank you so much everyone! Because I have a ton of other things to do I'm not able to work fast on them, but hopefully that changes in the future 😂
I relate a lot
Is it good? (Credits to bokoblo for the 787 template)
Bro wtf this is my house
Ik
But you showed a Garuda one
And Batik Air
Wait a sec
I just noticed, different ppl there
Now I feel like an idiot
This was what I saw
Advanced roads and then search for Bus lane
You mean irl?
Im joking haha, but looks a bit like my house
WIP
finished
what is that
plane
wait quick question
why not :v
because @static pollen said him how to make that planes, and he doesnt want to everyone know it
Rip
i want le plane because I'm still attempting good airport especially on the freight which is my current project
i will ask him, if he will let me give it to you i can give it
thank you man i owe you one
new one
Excellent plugin, I will use it in my city👍👍
Thanks 🙂, thank you for using
Thanks ☺️
Road deco wen
Don't know
Pls make it a road deco
I need it for my train terminals
Both the 1×1 and 3×3
But I heard only 1x1 can be road decoration
And I haven't tested to make road decoration codes yet
u can separate the 3x3 to 1x1
Ye
Yeye
So noice 
But I don't know yet I havent tested to make road decoration
Also maybe it can be road deco as 3 part to come up with that
Thanks
Yed
But only if someone has helped you master the road deco stuff xd
Yeah
I wonder how many minutes it takes to put the codes right and make it work as road decoration
Ig after you have a template then it might be quick
Ye maybe
And I don’t think you need to satisfy all requirement, I think many road deco plugin doesn’t work with all the road orientation and situation (purely guess from observing here)
Yeah
cool, but I would make them a little more transparent.
and you can add a little turquoise shade, so the depth will be felt
Okay I will try next Tim
Building ✓✓
still not happy with roof area. got some work to do 😎
Enjoy!
WIP
who can guess which building i am making?
A building
which building?
Built
....
how is the shape looking?
Show me the full building
This is how it should roughly be
how can i fix that?
ok
This is how it should be
Remember the trick I had told u when u were making the landmark building
For the windows
If you want to stick to the source material
Eliminate the bottom pillar
And the create the two arches on the side
can you remind it please
which one?
Now create the support structures on the sides
ohhh okay
continue
now walls?
Comple it fully
yeah
Ok
ok
Now try to replicate the design on them
lol
so how can i make the design of it
Leave it then
Time to fix the house
ok
Make it shorter
windows?
?
Add 2 pixel at the marked spot
which color?
The window colour u r using
No
when the geometry isn't geometrying
Mhm
why not, it looks alright to me
xd
the previous one is geometrically not correct
yeah, new one looks better imo
Iam stuck in a paradox where idk if one thing is symmetric or not
just fix the bottom windows, i don't think they are supposed to be directly on the corners
i detect fachwerk
?
- use your eyes, these windows go through the entire wall and you should leave the corners black
- implement more contrast
trust me it'll be much easier to work
Fachwerk expert arrived
?
why would you make the beams 2 thick
so how do i make, make the grey part 2 pixels or the black?
the beige part is at the end, so it breaks the pattern
then... shift the pattern?
it ain't rocket science
The window goes throughout the wall
Only being seperated by the black partitions
better?
better
now it looks amazing well done
Nice
Thank you!
You are welcome
kewlio
where do u design tho
Thanks!
Pixly
oke
Adding a Balinese feel to the rooftop..lol
Hmm a ramp like pool?
I feel like the rooftop is sliding
But you should fix it
Etihad 777?
Japanese building
Testing
Thanks
A350
I just realized I made a pool on a slanted roof. Okay I'll just call it an artificial waterfall lol
WIP
is roof looking simillar?
woah
The original roof looks wavy (don't do that)
Looks fine imo
made it better
ok
Is this a building somewhere in London?
modular ✅
Yes
how is the roof texture looking?
any suggestions?
Portcullis house!!!
Yes
Really need that who makes London
Noiceee
WIP
It's just the Google maps model I think
Allo
?
Gib roof ref
The main roof is slanted aswell as u can see
By the image of ur attempt at this u have posted
The main roof looks more like a straight wall
Straighter
Waot
It's seems to be a problem with ur shades
Make the darker parts of the roof even darker
you mean this angled part?
?
A bit brighter
90 degrees?
Wait
Better
same with other roofs?
Yes but at an higher angle
Yes
