[charred skiff]

where in the code should it be?

[orchid sorrel]

maybe format it first so it looks like actual json

rmb and format doc

[charred skiff]

ok

[charred skiff]

what should i do after that?

[orchid sorrel]

do what the tutorial says

you already have the animation draft ready

[charred skiff]

should i put animation coordinates here?

[orchid sorrel]

nice syntax errors

[charred skiff]

xd i just pasted the code

[orchid sorrel]

it's really that simple

you just have to read

[charred skiff]

oh

okay

[charred skiff]

?

[orchid sorrel]

you appended the animation to the animation

why do you even have 2 animation drafts which have the same frame

[charred skiff]

i have to put it here?

[charred skiff]

idk lol

[orchid sorrel]

you append the animation draft to the building draft

it's common sense

[charred skiff]

so i delete this and paste the animation draft here?

[orchid sorrel]

what?

[orchid sorrel]

"animation":[] appends animation drafts to other drafts

also I don't speak blur

[charred skiff]

idk why it is blurry

[charred skiff]

i dont understand how to do this 😭

[orchid sorrel]

I can't help if you can't just paste

[charred skiff]

but i pasted

i am just asking where to paste

[orchid sorrel]

to the building draft

[charred skiff]

in which part of the code

[orchid sorrel]

I've told you countless times now

[charred skiff]

where is it?

[orchid sorrel]

the draft that holds information about your building

I can't make it any simpler

[charred skiff]

this one?

[orchid sorrel]

probably, that screenshot doesn't tell me much

[charred skiff]

so where in the screenshot do i put it?

[orchid sorrel]

exactly there

[charred skiff]

{
"bmp": "landmarAPROOO.png"
}
],
"width": 7,
"height": 7,
"level": 3,
"draw ground": true,
"type": "commercial"
}
]

here?

[orchid sorrel]

yes??

[charred skiff]

?

[eager oriole]

Read the tutorial, read it all and you maybe will understand

:)

[charred skiff]

i dont understand 😭

[eager oriole]

yeah you are going good

now put x and y

[orchid sorrel]

looks fine other than the syntax errors

[charred skiff]

red }?

[orchid sorrel]

well that's part of the problem

do you even know basic json structure/syntax

[charred skiff]

like this?

[dusty hill]

worst part left, night anim

[orchid sorrel]

no

your animation doesn't move

[charred skiff]

i never had a contact with json in my life lol

[orchid sorrel]

then maybe it'd be worthwhile to learn that first

[charred skiff]

ok i will do it later

i have to go

[eager oriole]

an example

But that is for put your animation in a specific position

[sharp kettle]

night animation?

[eager oriole]

yeah

[sharp kettle]

took me some time to learn it but after you understand whats what, gets pretty simple

[eager oriole]

For me its simple but at first is hard

Nice

[static pollen]

Maybe it's in purpose but the cab is very different

[sharp kettle]

😭

[plush condor]

tno mentioned

[rain gate]

New vehicle?

But why no wheel

😭😭

[sharp kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-gif-25514964

[rugged breach]

the wheels are the small 1x2 black lines at the bottom i think lol

if someone were to make this, would the best way to do it be coding it like the evergreen trucks?

[orchid sorrel]

what an amazing example

very fitting

[rain gate]

@rain gate
Can you make a bee

[rain gate]

Just a yellow pixel right?

[sharp kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-gif-8470516175995282617

[rain gate]

O what about a eagle 🦅

A píxel too

[rain gate]

O what about a dragon

[rugged breach]

Billie Joe Armstrong

that would be fun to make lol

someone should totally make a hyperloop loll

[misty pawn]

"Pixels"

And focus on "s"

[sharp kettle]

[cerulean cove]

Noice stone texture

Looks noice

[orchid sorrel]

I mean the vanilla cars have been already revamped, they are just used alongside the old cars for whatever reason

[sharp kettle]

yup, but i im sticking with this design literally a car from 2100, so round

[sharp kettle]

[dusty hill]

ok so umm, how i can make this on Paint.net

[orchid sorrel]

you draw

[dusty hill]

like how i could make this like the OBSI did

[sharp kettle]

layer 2:

[dusty hill]

i have alr did the 2nd layer

[orchid sorrel]

pick the night mode color and overlay it on top

[sharp kettle]

same car, minor changes, cant pick which one looks best

[dusty hill]

ok, but how i can do that on Paint.net

[eternal sail]

grouping of Mexican low and middle class houses WIP

[orchid sorrel]

i sent the exact color here some time ago

[maiden zodiac]

guys how to get pixly i want to install but i can't find it in Playstore

[orchid sorrel]

i believe you have to download it off the internet now

[dusty hill]

got it

so what now

[remote herald]

Why are there no shadows on the building?

[halcyon condor]

I added shadows to the building, but they aren't clear

[uncut acorn]

Should be 30%

[unique kindle]

Or just download pixel studio

Its better anyway

[burnt bramble]

procrastinated for too long

[lapis stream]

Ello

[cerulean cove]

Wow mew!

[burnt bramble]

[rocky birch]

Where is he then?

[crimson basin]

why are you looking for him?

[cerulean cove]

Noiceee

[cerulean cove]

Feels as if building in bottom of sea xd

[dreamy hearth]

I'll save that on my to-do list

[cerulean cove]

Noice though just a heads up, there are already several version of it xd

But i think more style and variation is good as well

[dreamy hearth]

I'll give a hint. It's a building designed by Foster and Partners and is planned to be built in Makati City, Philippines

Another clue will be shown once I add the main color lol

[dreamy hearth]

Noted

No but that got me curious as to how that looks like.

[sharp dawn]

Nice 👍

[cerulean cove]

Noice

Today I caught this lol

[still gorge]

@cerulean cove 😮

[echo lotus]

i even forgot this truck existed lol

[uncut acorn]

What building is this 🤔

[cerulean cove]

Tbh this is my first time seeing this truck

Wonder if it’s vanilla or it’s spawn by some plugin lol

[sharp kettle]

plugin

definetly not vanilla

[warm spruce]

why do paris like to mess up their cityscape

[cerulean cove]

Oh boy, then I have to find out which plugin it is lol

[charred skiff]

this is the night animation filter color: 4c5999

[charred skiff]

i think we have to pin it

[orchid sorrel]

night overlay hex color code: 4C5999

[orchid sorrel]

you're welcome

[sharp kettle]

whats the transparency?

[charred skiff]

nice

[charred skiff]

multiply mode

[sharp kettle]

ah, alr

ive been eyeballing night mode color all this time

this will be helpful

[orchid sorrel]

you could've just asked

it's surprisingly purple

[dreamy hearth]

Oooh looks nice but it isn't that. Y'all will see soon

[thorny arrow]

🔥

[hardy anvil]

Wait until finished 🤫

[orchid sorrel]

like a grass or concrete background

[eternal sail]

Thanks

New Plugin awaiting approval 🙏🏻

[crimson basin]

Im there and I still dont know what that is

[dull barn]

hi
Has the Philippine Roads plugin been removed from the game?

[stoic palm]

it is still up

[dull barn]

Hmmmm
The plugin store is slow for me
It keeps loading infinitely

But anyway, I'll find a way

[stoic palm]

What do you play on?

[burnt bramble]

Forgot the watermark (:

@haughty moth can we please talk in dms?

[dull barn]

Telephone

[stoic palm]

...

Which one?

[dull barn]

Android

Samsung

[stoic palm]

And you are from where?

[dull barn]

Southern Hemisphere

By the way, why do you ask?

[stoic palm]

Because certain ISPs have game services blocked

But if your going to vauge and unhelpful then I can't slove this for you

[rain gate]

Doing BA B777-200ER, is it good? (Thanks bokoblo for the B772 template)

[safe ocean]

I don't think I can figure out the individual night animation from Ian's dev tool

Assuming it is making a few frames of light, then coding them around the structure?

setting x, and y

[dull barn]

Ah yes
I'm from Brazil, southeast region

My problem here is that the Loading times are infinite, making it impossible for me to download the plugins
Until the previous day, the game was working normally

[stoic palm]

Okay so in this case the server could just be down. I give it a few hours

[dull barn]

Thank you for the reception

[static pollen]

Missing plane id

Overall it's good

Actually something is wrong

777-200ER doesn't have those lines in the wings

Did you use my new version, it is smaller than the original vönark 777 because I rescaled it

[dusty hill]

so then what should i do to make night anim

[static pollen]

Idk is it worth it

[neat tusk]

[brazen arrow]

Yooo thats awesome

[urban grove]

New BDO Head Office?

[rain gate]

[feral ridge]

[rain gate]

Y - up

[feral ridge]

it's a police station

Update added glass to it

[feral ridge]

Added trees

and this is my last chat

[zealous cobalt]

cute

[midnight obsidian]

Looks very vanilla

[feral ridge]

I used the road texture of the game so ye

[strong dove]

Im wondering if one of these plugins can make Barriers connecting from two to one or vice versa

Also better looking Acoustic screens on roads (be able to place in bridges like Fences

[strong dove]

Also who will make Cement one-way roads like highways

[uncut acorn]

You got it right

[feral ridge]

2 finished 3 to go

[remote herald]

Looks lovely 🩵

[charred skiff]

did you put on multiply?

[sharp kettle]

nice and simple

[cerulean cove]

Police station looks a bit like a prison, but still looks nice

[feral ridge]

Actually the brownish color building is the prison lol

[feral ridge]

thanks ❤

Thank you very much

[feral ridge]

you're welcome

[orchid sorrel]

me shifting a color 1 hue unit and deciding it's now ugly

I'd say the second one looks best

but honestly it gets pretty mind bending the longer you look at it

[sharp kettle]

indecision is crippling me

[sharp kettle]

@orchid sorrel what do you think?

[rain gate]

All the vehicles you showed will be added?

😁🥹

[sharp kettle]

no? not all

[rain gate]

😢

I mean all this vehicles in the game could be amazing

Like this trucks and that dozer in specific industrial buildings just 🔥

[rain gate]

Vanilla?

[lapis stream]

I'd love this thing in my city

[safe ocean]

@crimson basin and fellow reviewers. For the US bank tower, if I crop the animation for night time, can I get away with that for submittal? I struggle with the lua version of placing windows

[charred skiff]

better?

[hardy anvil]

Seoul City Hall

[livid agate]

i sure hope it has a ground texture

and remove that trailing pixel on the left of the transparent bit

[charred skiff]

me?

[livid agate]

yes

[charred skiff]

when i take screenshot there is always pixel that stays there

it is not on the art

this is a pixel that shows where i will draw next pixel

[misty pawn]

Combination between 3rd and 4th glass

[crimson basin]

isnt that a 6x6?

did you enter wrong height and width in json?

[safe ocean]

No it works fine in game. Not sure what the issue is. Comment said it was wasteful?

Is the dev tool meant to have to code in every window with an x/y coord?

not all of the windows I have are the same

different shades/colors etc

I cropped it down to the outline and will try that.

[crimson basin]

crop the window night animation so theres no space around there

you would have smaller chunks with no space around it rather than one large one with space in between

[charred skiff]

bunny can you help me too please?

[crimson basin]

sure what is it

[charred skiff]

is this better now?

[crimson basin]

didnt i reply here?

i didnt disapprove it so im not exactly sure

[safe ocean]

So here is the crop. Confirming this is what is meant?

[sharp kettle]

mein gott

[charred skiff]

oh okay

[crimson basin]

also left side and top

[crimson basin]

wait

so you submitted on a 7x7 base and now you reduced to a 6x6?

[charred skiff]

ok

[charred skiff]

yeah

[charred skiff]

is it how it should be?

[crimson basin]

yep

looks good to me

[safe ocean]

Forgive for being smol brained. Isn't the area that has no color transparent? Does it add kb to file size if it's still there and blank?

[crimson basin]

yep

still takes up space

texture space to be exact

[safe ocean]

ok I see

[crimson basin]

the game takes images and places it on a 2000x2000 sheet or something

[charred skiff]

ok, thanks for help

[safe ocean]

is there an easier way to know how to place the light animation besides trial and erroro when loading into game?

[crimson basin]

and the game cant tell empty pixels

[crimson basin]

ians animation dev tool

its a plugin

[safe ocean]

ahh full circle. So that helps you locate in game

[crimson basin]

install it

[safe ocean]

can use on phone too?

[midnight obsidian]

Ian's animation dev tool my beloved

[crimson basin]

yep

[safe ocean]

I knew I was missing a simple step

[crimson basin]

makes you the json i think

[safe ocean]

I apologize for the troubel

[tiny bridge]

Want to know how to make this type of road and grass near building?

[crimson basin]

no, its alright, i dont mind genuine questions

[tiny bridge]

What plugin?

[crimson basin]

thats alllll custom made for his city. Exactly for that part of the city

[midnight obsidian]

@signal lagoon i'm sorry for the ping but thanks for creating the masterpiece animation dev tool

[tiny bridge]

How with plugin I can make it?

[crimson basin]

i cant figure out how to use it, but i wish bpgrylls luck

[midnight obsidian]

It all boils down to you know what bunny

A skill issue

[crimson basin]

if you make plugins you could, he makes it himself and has not shared it with anyone else

[crimson basin]

basically nothing

[safe ocean]

[midnight obsidian]

Well once you learn how to use it you can never unlearn it

[crimson basin]

it would certainly make my life easier

as a plugin creator

but i dont even make plugins anymore

[charred skiff]

guys can someone check if it is working

btw i dont want to publish it in store without night animations

i desperately need someone who can help to make night animations (i will credit you)

[orchid sorrel]

I am glad, your work is always very vanilla like and so are the colors

[lavish sail]

if you will start it, you wont be need to approve all the plugins in the pending approval list

62 now, as i remember

[crimson basin]

its apparently 66

I just dont have the motivation

[lavish sail]

this will be long

[crimson basin]

i dont even know how theres so many plugins

literally almost all of them were submitted in 3 days

[lavish sail]

[crimson basin]

Ptag creation

[agile forum]

Step 1: Download a baseplate of your choice It is recommended to keep it small if you are just starting.
Step 2: Download a pixel drawing app. It is recommended that you get one with layers and transparency options. You can find a list of suggested options here
Step 3: Here are some tutorials that show how to make a house. One by Theo and one by Kulche
Here's a tutorial by rtobby that provides tips on improving the plugin quality
You may find more tutorials in the getting started page and on the forum
And even more tips pinned in plugin discussion
Step 4: Last step is to create a json. You can create one by using PCA or use this tutorial here to make one. To make one manually, you can use any text app which allows you to save files as a .json
Feel free to ask for help or suggestions on the forum or on the server

Bonus step: Once done, you can upload your plugin on the store which once approved can be downloaded in-game by anyone or post it on the forum showcase or both! Remember that store plugins must oblige to the store rules

Make a new layer that's simply black with 40-60% opacity
Make another new layer which then you draw the night there.

[urban grove]

vönark was actually working on those buildings but I'm not sure if he's still working on it or put it on hold or cancelled.

[charred skiff]

can you help to make night animation if you are free rn?

[sharp kettle]

busy

[charred skiff]

ok, ping me when you will be free

[cerulean cove]

I suspect the size will be too big, but prob will still use it if it’s out xd

[twilit stone]

Japanese building 🇯🇵

[remote herald]

nicee

could use some more depth tho

so it wouldn’t be plain

[twilit stone]

Thank you

[urban grove]

vönark plugin scales are usually pretty big. Look at his version of One WTC. It's huge!

[remote herald]

it’s realistic size

[twilit stone]

Not as good as you guys

[tiny bridge]

Any plugins to fill the area with residential zone or commercial zone ?

So that , I can put the zone In btw the roads

[rain gate]

You will release your military vehicles?

[urban grove]

Looks decent so far

[tiny bridge]

Is there any plugin available?

[sharp kettle]

no comment

[rain gate]

?

[twilit stone]

Great, and what application to use for drawing?

[urban grove]

He may or may not release those military vehicles. Same with his other stuff.

[rain gate]

Thank you

[twilit stone]

If the color is very black, try to be transparent again, so it's 30.

[rain gate]

Hmmmmm Planes

[rain gate]

You used all boko planes?

the planes aren't enough specifically freight planes

[twilit stone]

Name plugin

[rain gate]

Like i need the Md's, B747s and the Airbus ones

i can't just use all airports as 777s

[rain gate]

Lol

[rain gate]

And haven’t tried the Planes from Theoair?

I think that’s what you need

[static pollen]

too busy with planes and now doing cars, trucks, buses and RVs, for the last one, someone did a good job on but his choices regarding sharing make me want to do some myself too

[static pollen]

you don't only have 777, also.. some big planes from Honolulu. Well blame it on the old ttplugins not working anymore and it takes me 30 seconds of my time to encrypt each plugin

[rain gate]

theoair?

[rain gate]

True but it's not about the passenger planes

[static pollen]

I guess the theotownish plane

[rain gate]

it's FREIGHT

[static pollen]

K wich planes do you want so I encrypt like 2 files

[rain gate]

which is possible?

[static pollen]

idk tell me wich generic you want

I surely made some

[rain gate]

Probably 767s and 747s if not probably the regional planes like the 737 or maybe even Atr's or even Airbus planes

[cerulean cove]

Yes lol, that one is big in a good way xd

[cerulean cove]

I see you make it blue 🌝 xd

[rain gate]

dont forget the Burj Khalifa lol

[heavy horizon]

It's not unfamiliar to see

[static pollen]

Ok but like wich region/country of compagnies

[cerulean cove]

I haven’t download that, maybe I should even not planing use it yet lol

[rain gate]

proobably asian ones like Hong Kong Air(DHL), Korean Air, Turkish, MasKargo and etc

[static pollen]

Ok I have Guangzhou Baiyun and Alice springs planes

But Alice springs is a plane storage so their planes have coverage

[rain gate]

noice

[static pollen]

I will give that later

[rain gate]

oh

right-o

[static pollen]

See on Google

Nice

[rain gate]

ok also thanks dude

[heavy horizon]

[thorny arrow]

👍

[dusty hill]

i don't kinda get that

[orchid sorrel]

don't get what

[dusty hill]

how do i make this darker like he did

[orchid sorrel]

you change layer wide color blending mode to multiply

[dusty hill]

ok, but how do i do it on paint.net

[orchid sorrel]

I've just told you

in layer properties

[dusty hill]

ok, i got it

[charred skiff]

nice

[dusty hill]

but now i should have good color for lights

also how i should implement light

[charred skiff]

if you want i can send colors i used for lights

[charred skiff]

wdym?

[dusty hill]

should i do it on separate layer?

[sharp kettle]

yes.

[charred skiff]

yeah

[dusty hill]

alr

but now, how do i do the light effect

[sharp kettle]

what software ru using

[dusty hill]

Paint.net

[sharp kettle]

just.. well this frame is now dark, add a layer on top of it and just draw the night anim

[charred skiff]

you mean bloom?

[dusty hill]

you mean this thing around? (imma change the color)

[charred skiff]

i mean this transparent colors near light source

[dusty hill]

yes

[charred skiff]

idk how to add it in paint net, but you can make night frame and send it to me, i will make it in 3 clicks

if you want

it will literally take 5 seconds

[dusty hill]

i think Paint.net adds itself with fill tool

[charred skiff]

oh okay

[charred skiff]

nice

[thorny arrow]

rooftop: 50%

[acoustic otter]

New ploogin

[charred skiff]

i think i know what you are making

[midnight obsidian]

What is he making

[charred skiff]

i think this is what he wants to make

[sharp kettle]

cant decide which would look better, literal 1 pixel difference would make so much change

[midnight obsidian]

@orchid sorrel poland reference

[orchid sorrel]

death

[midnight obsidian]

:(

[sharp kettle]

smh

[midnight obsidian]

Doesnt look like it to me

[charred skiff]

idk, it looked like that to me

[thorny arrow]

1000000% of the telephone house

[sharp kettle]

nice

[thorny arrow]

Finally

[charred skiff]

guys will there be chance of it getting approved if i add working night animations and publish it?

[acoustic otter]

No, its just my imagination)

[charred skiff]

oh okay

[rain gate]

Right down

IMO

😅

[stoic echo]

No. You didn't even address the issue that led to your plugin being disapproved. the issue being Poor graphics.

[crimson basin]

who said that???

the graphics is fine

[crimson basin]

the night animation better be space efficient

[slender briar]

who pings me 4 t imes

jeesh

[slender briar]

piskel

[slender briar]

it is , will fix it first, it needs to have that chonk to it

[charred skiff]

Wdym?

[slender briar]

i recommend something else tho, piskel is easy to start but it has a weird learning curve to go from ok to awesome, need to know your mouse, hand, and tools veeeery well for piskel

[slender briar]

separated into more frames instead of one big picture

[charred skiff]

Oh okay

[slender briar]

or every light separated as a png and placed to their respective places with coordinates

[stoic echo]

Kulche said that but I guess it's fine now #plugin-discussion message

[orchid sorrel]

because they uploaded a literal draft version with 0 noise and details

[crimson basin]

as cropped as possible also

[orchid sorrel]

learn reading comprehension for the love of god

[eager oriole]

What do i make next?

[lavish sail]

Better detailed variation

[crimson basin]

gonna be honest, not a fan of how saturated those colours are

[lavish sail]

Looks nice, but roof is flat

[eager oriole]

The little ones are not finished

[sharp kettle]

textures are nice

but uhh

its rather bland no?

[orchid sorrel]

the colored parts better be using animations

[eager oriole]

Yes they are

[lavish sail]

Finish them then

[sharp kettle]

no store name, little decor

[charred skiff]

Ok, i will make it tomorrow

[eager oriole]

Of course i'm going to desaturate the colors but the reason i ask is for suggestions of what i can put in the little ones

[sharp kettle]

ac units? little ad stuff on le walls?

store stuff?

[eager oriole]

Yeah i'm gonna put that. Also, this saturation is better?

or its too bright

[sharp kettle]

looks fine ig?

[slender briar]

finally sent it for approval again

i separated the night frames into one small light for the top, the middle section and the 3 small lights on the pillar, way more digestible for tt plugin space

[crimson basin]

33 kb 🤤

nah feel free to

[sharp kettle]

named it failed project for a reason

maybe ill fix it oneday, idk

[crimson basin]

i saw you making it

i thought it was okay

[crimson basin]

pretty

[covert root]

Thanks

[slender briar]

hehe kekmans cooking something nice for uuuuuuu

[lavish sail]

going insane

[slender briar]

yessirrr

something unexpected

[lavish sail]

Forge collab?

Not that unexpected if no

[slender briar]

naaah

even more unexpected from me huehehuheee

[slender briar]

but good idea

[livid agate]

they audacity

[misty pawn]

Tf

[lavish sail]

Getting TF2 bots even in theotown

[ripe jasper]

AI generated?

lmao

[slender briar]

are ya ready?

yall love night frames right?

coming soon, kranhäuser night frames

[lavish sail]

Forge now wants collab

[slender briar]

lets go

[lavish sail]

@rain gate

[rain gate]

🫡

[orchid sorrel]

if you want it the night overlay color is pinned

better than just generic black

[lavish sail]

This is fire ngl

Nice work

[lavish sail]

Plane?

Looks overdetailed

Or just

Messy

[orchid sorrel]

yeah

pixel massacre

[lavish sail]

No shadows on surfaces

At all

[slender briar]

it wont look that bad in the game ngl

[orchid sorrel]

that's how it would look like ingame

[static pollen]

What

[orchid sorrel]

yes

and that's good

[slender briar]

whats guud?

[orchid sorrel]

the frame lol

[slender briar]

aww thanks

[orchid sorrel]

I wish we could do that for every building

[slender briar]

conquering my sins lmao

[orchid sorrel]

but lobby said "texture space"

[slender briar]

lmaoo

how to anger a theotown player, step 1, say plugin space

[stoic palm]

My 1500 plugins would disagree with that issue

[orchid sorrel]

how can factorio have 9325893592 flat hd textures for every train direction possible and theotown dies when you import more than 3 pixelart skyscrapers is beyond my comprehension

[stoic palm]

sounds more like a skill issue tbh

[orchid sorrel]

lobby, have you heard it? skill issue

git gud lmao

[slender briar]

jeesh roast the game engine time huh

[lavish sail]

Time to start selling night anims with diamonds

[slender briar]

plugin space expansion dlc

[lavish sail]

Lmao

[orchid sorrel]

gofundme blueflower team expansion for theotown 2

[livid agate]

more texture space can indeed be obtained

[lavish sail]

Cloud storage for sprites dlc (wifi required)

[livid agate]

at the cost of less plugin texture space

anyway

[slender briar]

ach pickleman is here

[stoic palm]

What if we just bloat the game

[orchid sorrel]

law of energy conservation ass reasoning

[livid agate]

this code is gonna be quite something

[stoic palm]

Maybe abit of bitcoin mining software?

[slender briar]

im dyingg😭

[lavish sail]

What have I done wrong so far 😭

[livid agate]

nah, am good

[lavish sail]

Yes

Drawing function

Nothing special :)

[livid agate]

what the hell is this

[lavish sail]

I didn't make such an indent

[orchid sorrel]

I don't think that's how you do text spacing in lua

lmao

[lavish sail]

No, I really didn't made that

JA's VS Code issues

[livid agate]

that has exposed your duplicated logic

you fixed it at one place

i've read worse written code though

that could be considered a war crime for being that bad

[lavish sail]

Sounds nice

[livid agate]

reach out to fps plugin creator for that last one

[stoic palm]

lmao

[lavish sail]

I didn't really understand what he meant with those indents, apparently my coding skills are about the same as my English skills

[midnight obsidian]

theotown after you install fps counter

[slender briar]

im on fire todayyyy

night frames here i come

[dusty hill]

so only need to change the code

change the thumbinal

and I can update

Nah, it looks fine

don't worry, it's not even that bad

[dusty hill]

singing fanfare

[slender briar]

ciocarlia?

[dusty hill]

jk

[slender briar]

haide mooo

[dusty hill]

anyway

fixed that white car on night frame

[slender briar]

uhh

fix this please

[dusty hill]

wdym

add light here?

add those lines?

[slender briar]

the lines dont align

[dusty hill]

well

[slender briar]

nope those are aligned

i see no unalignment on that

so yours should be aligned too

[dusty hill]

keep on mind there are the iron bars

[slender briar]

ach the middle bars warp the view so it looks like the other lines aint aligned

ew

optical illusions be damned

[midnight obsidian]

petition to ban optical illusions from theotown

[lavish sail]

pixel art is an optical illusion

[rain gate]

Yay

[lavish sail]

Nice

[rain gate]

And i just noticed it isn't isometric by 1 pixel

[rain gate]

Donr

Done*

[rain gate]

Theoair my beloved

We go from that ⬆️ to this ⬇️

Made by @static pollen

[rain gate]

I can't put that in the airport

(no runways yet(

[rain gate]

76 boi

[cerulean cove]

Ig engineering cars can be fat, but cars on street usually maybe thinner the better, including truck

[cerulean cove]

Noiceee, though I feel the light in building can be brighter but it could be noice as it is as well, just a feeling

[cerulean cove]

Seems they just don’t align, because the brick is not 1 story tall. Look at brick line and the window on front, they don’t align too

[uncut acorn]

Possibly the best you have done so far

[split python]

I need help with a plugin that just packs poor people into a single building

[uncut acorn]

3.2k plugins milestone in plugin store is just… outstanding

[eager oriole]

Niiiice

[rotund prairie]

where can I find the green layout thing that is needed before making plugin?

[safe ocean]

FBi is that you?

[slender briar]

I noticed it too, but i had a darker background first, ill crank the brightness up

[twilit stone]

Are there any sizes 7×7 and 8×8

[remote herald]

yes just search on forum

[twilit stone]

[woeful hedge]

How to add shadow in building

[charred skiff]

Lower opacity

[remote herald]

Only the roof left

[deft basin]

creating warehouses in the North American style, we need to improve the textures and create more variations

[unique kindle]

This looks really nice imo

Is thos your first plugin or have you made many others

[urban grove]

Nice. Will there be something on the ground? (Decos, people, and stuff)

[remote herald]

probably some trees

Also it’s almost complete!!

Just have to make trees and the sign

[urban grove]

Add some people but not too many of course

[remote herald]

I’ll add around 15-20 people

[urban grove]

Is this Tour Neptune building somewhere in France?

[remote herald]

Yes, it’s in the La Défense area

[urban grove]

Cool. Will you make more of those buildings in La Defénse? vönark already made some of them. Not trying to force you or anything

[remote herald]

Probably not

offices are hard to do

[glad lynx]

lol they patched the bringing back up on "new/updated" category by changing the description

that will bring a toll on the theo diamonds grind , how will the shareholders react 📉

f

[remote herald]

wat

[glad lynx]

just an "exploit"

im jk

[modern parrot]

Who is Anhkatori2k and why after every game load I get a message that I have his plugin?

[crimson basin]

because you have his plugin

and its katori

[deft basin]

I did the Coca Cola, Molson Coors, modular warehouses 1 and 2 too. I started this along with a batch of trucks for decoration

[weak kestrel]

what is that proudly powered by and hidden words

[dusty hill]

ok, i will need to read manuals how to make night animations and i could try to implement it ingame

[urban grove]

LibGDX. Don't you see it whenever you open the game?

[urban grove]

You don't know Katori? He's literally one of the top plugin creators (the numbers of downloaded plugins). I believe he's a Vietnamese plugin creator and makes very colorful and eye-catching plugins.

[final quarry]

Hello

May I ask

Why after I create a plugin the bottom of this structure becomes water

Since I am new to creating plugins

[rain gate]

Add to the code “draw ground”:true,

Just copy and paste

“draw ground”:true,

[final quarry]

Oh, okay

Thanks

[rain gate]

😊

hmm plen

[eager oriole]

Put "draw ground":true to your json. Also, the shadow bould be on the right not in the left

[uncut acorn]

How to do that 🤔

Displaying a message at the loading screen

[crimson basin]

lua most likely

[modern parrot]

I don't know him, maybe I use his plugins, but I've heard about him.

[modern parrot]

Then why don't they talk about other plugin makers when loading?

[uncut acorn]

Interesting

[crimson basin]

because katori uses that in his plugin

[dusty hill]

wrong
shadows

[modern parrot]

👺

I will remove this plugin then👺👺👺

[dusty hill]

ok

i should now implement night anim

[dusty hill]

wait

i don't get the tutorials on forum

[crimson basin]

Start by doing a draft with Id, type and speed

[dusty hill]

so i got the building's code

[orchid sorrel]

yeah and what's the problem now

did you even read the tutorial or you just decided to make up the attribute name on the spot lmao

[slender briar]

kulche bro i cant really make these into smaller frames, like at all, is it ok if they are in one big piece?

i thought about it today and i just cant find any way

of course the frame will only be the area where the light is not the whole original sprite size

[orchid sorrel]

you mean you can't slice it up into individual windows?

that's very much alright considering how detailed tha animation is

[slender briar]

yeah theres no places where i can fit a cut in

chopped about 30 pixels left and right, empty place from original frame

[orchid sorrel]

as long as you don't waste space it's fine

[slender briar]

nah i learned my lesson lol

[slender briar]

made brighter, as much as i could

i think it lost a bit of charm but whatever, at least you recognize the night frame better now

and btw theo liked my post about the night frames on the tt global facebook post!

[old geyser]

Which plugin is this?

[covert root]

.

[old geyser]

Tank you

[rain gate]

oh my

[cerulean cove]

It looks really noice, looks fire definitely follow your heart as well xd, feeling and decision change from time to time. The very origin intention is hope it doesn’t look dim in the night, especially compared to some other building

[slender briar]

kekmans world is getting brighter

all 3 waiting for approval

doesnt look bad in game

wait

need to change json again a bit

[lapis stream]

Yippee

[slender briar]

the night frames on the kranhäuser were missaligned but i fixed it again, screenshot stays like that tho lmao too lazy

[modern parrot]

[eager oriole]

Now my cities are gonna be more beautifull

[slender briar]

of course

[eager oriole]

also, its your first time making light animation?

[slender briar]

nah

first in a long time

my building pack from 2022 has it on 2 buildings

and the pack pieces were made in 2021

[eager oriole]

oh, well, it looks pretty nice

🔥

[slender briar]

i was here when nightframes were officially introduced good sir, long time ago heh

[eager oriole]

huh, a long time ago

[slender briar]

when were they introduced actually?

2020? 19?

[eager oriole]

idk i discover the game in 2021 or 2022

[slender briar]

i did in 2018

well 2017 but i first got to discord in 2018

back when the only version was mobile and there was only day

and NO plugin store

good times

[eager oriole]

✨

[slender briar]

now we wait for some plugin approver to awake from his slumber lol

[eager oriole]

lol

[slender briar]

it always takes a long ttimeeeee

the people have been begging for ages for night frames

[eager oriole]

i wonder how lobby is going with the new update

[slender briar]

what update

[eager oriole]

or i don't know

When bunny or i don't remember said lobby was working in a transport update

[slender briar]

uuuuu
