[boreal charm]

new roof under construction

i see

[pliant folio]

has someone here made a train. plugin?

im trying to create a train plugin, with no experience in plugin creation tho

i know about the basics and i know how to make a basic building

straight to the point, how can i make a bulding/platform spawn my trains? and is there a train template?

[orchid sorrel]

trains are basically cars

same functionality

[pliant folio]

oh

and how do i make trains work?

[orchid sorrel]

what do you mean "work"

in what way do they not work

[pliant folio]

so i have my train texture and i dont know how i can make my platforms spawn my trains

and how do carriages work

made a texture for each carriage hope that wasnt wrong

[orchid sorrel]

you just define them as cars with appropriate flags

the rest is the exact same as car plugins

[pliant folio]

hm Okay thanks ill try

what draft type?

[orchid sorrel]

car..?

I told you it's just a car

refer to the cars tutorial

[pliant folio]

right

i just got into the plugin creating tool, im sorry

[orchid sorrel]

sorry for what lol

also, you can't create cars with the plugin creator website, you have to use actual json

[pliant folio]

i do understand json so shouldnt be that hard

[orchid sorrel]

yeah it really isn't

[pliant folio]

where do i find the cars tut

[orchid sorrel]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2346

[pliant folio]

thank you so much

can the frames of the “car” touch eachother?

[boreal charm]

old and new

somehow i think i liked the old better

[orchid sorrel]

well why wouldn't they

[boreal charm]

despite having wrong proportions

[orchid sorrel]

that's probably because the angle of the roof

[pliant folio]

idk to differ the frames

[orchid sorrel]

oops ate the of

[pliant folio]

something like this but with the carriages in the same way after that in the same png?

[orchid sorrel]

I'm not sure what the question is here

[pliant folio]

is that how i am supposed to place the frames?

[orchid sorrel]

well that's how the tutorial wants them placed

so yes

[pliant folio]

Alr

[static pollen]

That's not how the references are

[boreal charm]

ye

i kinda doing my own thing

😔

[pliant folio]

{"bmp":"carsample.png","w":18,"h":12,"count":4} <— is count for the amount of frams or carriages?

and is w for the width of each frame or for all the frames together?

[static pollen]

I mean, it wouldn't be right to make the geometry completely different from all the other buildings, including those in Theotown. It's like making the scale, perspective, or style too different. Even if a roof is kinda less noticeable,

[boreal charm]

i see

looking back i might have to make another roof

🤔

[static pollen]

Here's some help with corners

[static pollen]

Wich means the front wasn't wrong

[boreal charm]

oh a smaller hole

[static pollen]

Yeah you should make the hole at the end

[boreal charm]

i use a bigger hole cause 4x4 tile

[boreal charm]

lets see hmm

[static pollen]

The building on the left is 4*4

[boreal charm]

i see

ye mine was intentionally made with big hole

[pliant folio]

does someone know?

‘

[orchid sorrel]

frames

which also equals carriages

[pliant folio]

Isnt one carriage 4 frames?

[orchid sorrel]

depends what do you define as a carriage

[pliant folio]

one carriage would be the 4 states of that carriage to me

[wind smelt]

I have one question, which coding language use theotown?

[orchid sorrel]

java

[orchid sorrel]

better to use the word 'draft' to remove any ambiguities

[wind smelt]

I thought it was lua, because of #plugin-lua-and-fun

[orchid sorrel]

you can't just program an entire full fledged game in lua...

[midnight obsidian]

drafts are defined in json and more complex features for plugins are programmed with lua

[pliant folio]

alr

so i just put everything together like this

[orchid sorrel]

might as well

I'd say putting it vertically would make it easier to work with

but it doesn't really matter when it comes to actual implementation

[pliant folio]

alr then

so will the count be 16 or 4?

[orchid sorrel]

are the middle ones the same? I can't fund any differences

[pliant folio]

basically, but mirrored

[orchid sorrel]

sure thing

[pliant folio]

it has 1 window on one end and 2 windows on the other and other way around on the other middle one

[orchid sorrel]

you have to define your carriages as 4 separate drafts

[pliant folio]

Alr

[orchid sorrel]

you can't just throw all of them into a single generic draft

or at least that's how it probably works

I think you could use a single draft but then it would randomize the frames, and I bet that's something you'd rather avoid

[pliant folio]

Alr i got them all split up

is there a template for platforms?

[orchid sorrel]

you can try looking for them on the world texture

forums resources section

[pliant folio]

alr

[sharp kettle]

been drawing this for 6 day straight now

[pliant folio]

what for?

[sharp kettle]

for a roblox game im working on 🙏

[pliant folio]

oo

[orchid sorrel]

lol

[midnight obsidian]

pleasant as always, make sure to change the hospital red cross into a green one

[orchid sorrel]

outdated frames 🤓

[sharp kettle]

best i can do is this

[pliant folio]

so my questionsa re:

-How do I make my trains only use rails

-How “draw ground” looks like

[static pollen]

if false, water will appear below the sprite, if true, then no water but the ground that is below

[pliant folio]

thank you so much

is this right?

i have 3 different kind of platforms

Disable the ping challenge impossible edition

But Chipper has donated countless assets to the dev team and reworked a number of them as well

[uncut acorn]

||I wonder why he doesn’t want pings||

[uncut acorn]

Wait so you’re part of TCPS Team? Oh

[zinc narwhal]

You can say that.

[uncut acorn]

I said that because there’s that TCPS team logo

and that meant surprising

[zinc narwhal]

This is a linkage, and it is expected that there will be five contents.

[uncut acorn]

ah

ok

[sleek thistle]

can you help me? I have created my plugin and also night animation but the light of night mode is not working.

Then, i've already checked my code but still not working

[orchid sorrel]

is that... the manifest file..??

[sleek thistle]

No, sorry.

[orchid sorrel]

you might want to provide the plugin file here

I'd say it's probably about the coordinates

[sleek thistle]

I've shared my file to you on message

[orchid sorrel]

jesus christ

crop the images

there's like 40 pixels of empty space above your buildings

[sleek thistle]

Okay

[dusty sand]

Hi everyone anyone got any idea of making plugins?

[orchid sorrel]

that's quite an incomprehensible question there

how to make plugins? or #plugin-suggestions?

[dusty sand]

Can you guys tell me how to make a plugin

[charred skiff]

wha...?

[orchid sorrel]

that's still complete gibberish lmao

[dusty sand]

How do I make a plugin?

[orchid sorrel]

check the pins

[dusty sand]

Ok thanks 👍

[rare grotto]

WIP

[stark wraith]

@surreal oasis bruh I made a Humvee for you 😊

[heady sky]

is that the clockface from the st pancras plugin

[rare grotto]

Yea, I got inspired by that

[charred skiff]

wow

looks awesome

[stark wraith]

You made the space shuttle?

[orchid sorrel]

yes? how is that relevant to anything?

[stark wraith]

Because looks amazing 😊

[orchid sorrel]

ok

[static pollen]

Uh is that a new world textures

[stark wraith]

Usage texture in console

[stark wraith]

The fun part is you can see police stations decos and buildings that you can’t see in game

[static pollen]

Oh that's privilege

[covert root]

Thanks:)

[surreal oasis]

thanks for the rear frames

[stark wraith]

I can send you rn

And you add colour

[surreal oasis]

now, help me with the pavehawk rear frames

[surreal oasis]

next updat

subcategories

credits 2 devs

[charred skiff]

who are 2 devs?

[surreal oasis]

madam it is an alternative to typing the word "to"

because "to" sounds like "2"

[charred skiff]

dont call me "bro"

[surreal oasis]

fixed

So basically, the previous Infantry is going to be deleted, and will get a category of its own

[uncut acorn]

tricky

[charred skiff]

thx

[stark wraith]

you changed it to madam lol

[charred skiff]

ok and? lol

[stark wraith]

Pro things

[charred skiff]

Ok

[midnight obsidian]

man this is so cringe

💀

[charred skiff]

lol what is cringe?

[stoic palm]

Forge's use of emojis?

[pliant folio]

how do i create categories? I want to make a category under transport for my plugin

[stoic palm]

Catrine's general over correction of the word bro? Which is by far the most gender natural of all genedered words

[charred skiff]

i just hate when someone calls me like that

sorry

[stoic palm]

Or the plane spam that one is pretty cringy too

[charred skiff]

lol

[frigid tusk]

But not everyone knows it

[charred skiff]

ik, thats why i correct when they call me like that

[stoic palm]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=4269

[urban grove]

Anything but planes. It's kinda annoying. I want to see buildings not planes

[stoic palm]

I can deal with seeing someone making a new plane... but the liveries that is over the top lmao

[urban grove]

Miuku keeps making good plugins, keep it up!

[pliant folio]

tysm bro

[charred skiff]

here you go

[stoic palm]

No problem! Hope it helps

[urban grove]

Yeah like 20 different liveries. Insane

[stoic palm]

And typically it's some private plane asset that no one can use. I mean no hate to the plugin maker or the skin makers. But no one wants to see something that is going to be gate kept as private

[charred skiff]

some improvements

[somber haven]

Wow I need that

[charred skiff]

you can get it

on my server

[pliant folio]

How do i name my json data?

[stoic palm]

What do you mean?

[pliant folio]

Like i need a json data for my plugin, but does it matter how i name it?

except for changing the json ending ofc

[stoic palm]

No the name doesn't matter at all

[pliant folio]

ALr

[orchid sorrel]

just don't use the ancient sumerian script or something

[orchid sorrel]

theotown can't read cuneiform

[orchid sorrel]

you probably defined the car draft after it's been used

define your drafts first and then their dependants

[pliant folio]

alr

its not aligning what do i do

every item is not aligning

okay i got the buldings to align

[orchid sorrel]

you need to set handles on your cars

[pliant folio]

alr

[midnight obsidian]

correct,

[orchid sorrel]

I'm pretty sure the "v2" array can do that

[midnight obsidian]

correct

[midnight obsidian]

and also correct! congrats, 3 correct answers in a row

[pliant folio]

like this?

[orchid sorrel]

that's not an array lol

refer to the tutorial

[sharp kettle]

the car icon could use some more uh.. work

[pliant folio]

alr

1 in which direction?

[midnight obsidian]

boolean array??

[pliant folio]

oh i understand

[midnight obsidian]

so like [true, false, true, false]?

[orchid sorrel]

no idea why is the array not highlighted together with the integer

blame ja

[pliant folio]

my carriages also overlap eachother

[orchid sorrel]

you can try adding separator cars

i think you'd just use 'null' for that

[pliant folio]

alr

[midnight obsidian]

reminds me of yusufs 'magic stick'

[orchid sorrel]

yes

[pliant folio]

like this?

[orchid sorrel]

without the quotes

[pliant folio]

alr

only partly works

[orchid sorrel]

what do you mean partyl

partly

[pliant folio]

in the first pic it seems to work like i want it to

atleast the train at the platform

[sharp kettle]

dang 2 updates within a day

[pliant folio]

on the third pic it uses the wrong carriages

[orchid sorrel]

well then you messed something up

[pliant folio]

hm

[midnight obsidian]

welcome to paint.net lol

[sharp kettle]

wdym, updates on pdn usually comes in around a month no?

[fast cave]

pain.net*

[pliant folio]

i think it sees null as the first carriage for whatever reason

[orchid sorrel]

well 'null' is the first carriage

[pliant folio]

oh

so if i just use an empty png file as the first carriage would that fix that?

[orchid sorrel]

I'm gonna be honest I have no idea what are you talking about or what are you trying to achieve

and I can't really help much without seeing the full json

[pliant folio]

well yea im not the best english speaker

[orchid sorrel]

I just don't know what exactly the problem is now

having 4 different variants that look almost the same doesn't help either

[pliant folio]

cant get the train to align and in place of null there is just “dt4c1”

[orchid sorrel]

well you align the cars with v2

so you have to mess around with that

[pliant folio]

first two are the same as the last two but mirrored

[pliant folio]

alr

[orchid sorrel]

as for the second part, the game will use c1-null-c2-null-c3-null-c4, so no idea what exactly is the problem here

[pliant folio]

the game just uses c1 for null

the red line would be straight if it works

[orchid sorrel]

actually no idea what's going on there

might be something with your car definitions

[pliant folio]

aight

[pliant folio]

Okay so instead of using null, i used an extra carriage that uses an empty pic as texture and it works

[stark wraith]

You’re new making plugins?

[pliant folio]

very new

infact i just got in yesterday or so

No actually i used null but i just added an „empty“ carriage between every car

[stark wraith]

Your skills for understanding this is amazing

Like first beginner in make a train

Amazing

[pliant folio]

thank you

[pliant folio]

How do i fix this?

[pliant folio]

the carriages are too far apart

[static pollen]

[eager oriole]

pretty dense city, now i'm gonna make 3x3 buildings and time to make commercial buildings

yeah they dont need roads for make it look like it

I don't know how to make custom people go aroung on the roads instead of the normal ones

[stuck grove]

wow is that cairo

[eager oriole]

is there an attribute for that?

[eager oriole]

✨

[stuck grove]

Making sprites with grok ICANT

[stuck grove]

also this looks pretty cool
i don't think ive read this channel really well before so i wanna ask what is this plugin bout ?

[eager oriole]

i'm making an alien pack with new biomes, trees and buildings

and thanks

[pliant folio]

How do i get the carriages to be closer to each other?

they were overlapping and i put invisible carriages between them

now i cant make the invisible carriages shorter

[stuck grove]

oo

[naive juniper]

I don't know why but this reminded me of a cartoon from my country when I was a child.

[urban grove]

Spongebob?

[naive juniper]

No

It's a Brazilian cartoon, these houses in the print remind me a lot, if I'm not mistaken it's called "carrapatos e catapultas" Which translates to ticks and catapults

[stark wraith]

Looks beautiful

[eager oriole]

making the 3x3 its taking me a bit of time 🥹

[eager oriole]

the colored parts

[surreal oasis]

idk, something something Changelog viewer

So I can reasonably just give a brief summary in the plugin store, and put the real changelog in the plugin itself

Description?????

Decorative structures and miscallenous objects

For whatever items are in the plugin information category, i plan on setting build limit to 0

[charred skiff]

idk

[little hare]

im fully living for the @orchid sorrel and @charred skiff beef

[charred skiff]

huh?

[stark wraith]

What’s that?

[charred skiff]

guess

[stark wraith]

Looks like ice

[charred skiff]

nope

water

[sage grail]

advance water
Decal

[charred skiff]

yee

[late carbon]

guys I'm struggling here, any tips because my industrial and commercial won't build

[dreamy hearth]

first of all wrong channel, that's for #town-square
secondly, if you look at the demand, you need more residential in order for industrial to be built

[late carbon]

I sincerely apologize but thanks so much, I'll give it a try and then I'll get back

[dreamy hearth]

progress so far of MoA

legit cannot deduce how the place looks like exactly without actually going there due to limited media available

I'll js skip the work needed for the roof in the meantime and work on adding the ground level instead so that I can work on the south wing

again js so I can actually work on the world's largest IKEA lol

[uncut acorn]

Best

[uncut acorn]

Looks out of place

[dreamy hearth]

ahh that one's reference for when I'll make the bridge connecting it to the North Wing

[uncut acorn]

I see now

nice

[rocky birch]

@warm comet woah nice it looks like waves in beaches

will you release it?

[charred skiff]

yee

[charred skiff]

maybe

if it looks good

then yes

advanced water decals

[rocky birch]

Cool can't wait for it i wanna use it in my beach projects

You can do waterfall water terrains too

[charred skiff]

it looks bad for now

[rocky birch]

Or maybe river flows that would be totally cool just suggesting

[charred skiff]

yeah sure

[rocky birch]

Wait i think that's the opposite of bad haha its pretty nice

[charred skiff]

thanks xd

should i use TT water textures for it? or make my own water?

[dreamy hearth]

ooh that actually looks quite aesthetic

[charred skiff]

thanks))

[rocky birch]

I think it only needs a little bit waves texture just a little bit not too much

[dreamy hearth]

like lessening the noise if I may?

[charred skiff]

what if i make a wave animation for it?

[rocky birch]

Maybe you can blend those blue or maybe use the vanilla water too

Actually it really reminds me of our beaches here

[rocky birch]

Yes maybe that would work

[rocky birch]

Yes you can too

[charred skiff]

POV: OBSI41 starting her 100000000 plugin 🤯

[charred skiff]

i just need to know how to make animated TT water

if i know how to do that then it will be easy

[rocky birch]

Endless possibilities for that plug in i think it will come out great

[charred skiff]

where are you from?

[charred skiff]

yeee, thx

[rocky birch]

You can make it as terrain i think

[charred skiff]

wdym?

[rocky birch]

Maybe just like the sand blend Terrain it really blends good

But a water version haha

[charred skiff]

yee

but the problem with water is that it is animated

[rocky birch]

Yes true

Your plugin reminds me of my home island

[charred skiff]

where are you from tho?

[rocky birch]

Philippines

[charred skiff]

nice

[rocky birch]

That's why i liked it so much I love beaches

[sharp kettle]

a really bright water

[charred skiff]

yee

[charred skiff]

i want to use TT water for it

[rocky birch]

Yes i think using TT water will be better

[sharp kettle]

ah alr

ngl im dying for a theotown audio update

[charred skiff]

lol

[sharp kettle]

TT is such a relaxing game, but after 7 years of playing it, hearing the same noise over and over again drives me insane

[urban grove]

I could recreate Vice City with this

[charred skiff]

wow, cool

What are the devs doing?

[charred skiff]

WIP

[orchid sorrel]

definitely not improving audio lmao

[orchid sorrel]

one must be really naive to believe an ai model is capable of generating such images

images of acceptable quality, that is

[charred skiff]

lol

soon ai will learn tho

how to create isometric pixel art

[frigid tusk]

Not surprised from Boko tho

[orchid sorrel]

not if it keeps on feeding on its own slop like it's been doing for months already

[charred skiff]

xd

[supple tapir]

does TT plugins forum not have filter? or is it not working because I tried clicking what i thought the filter icon but nothing happened?

[orchid sorrel]

..filter?

[supple tapir]

apologise should have been more clear

like I wanna see the most viewed or downloaded plugins in the forum. Then I just choose "most downloaded" filter and the plugins are filtered to the most downloaded

for example

[urban grove]

I don't think it has that

[supple tapir]

i think so too

tho im sure that is meant to be filter feature but for some strange reason it cant be clicked

[static pollen]

Blahblahblah i was joking

[pliant folio]

is there a minimum and maxium width for train carriages?

[orchid sorrel]

no but you shouldn't exceed a tile because it might cause rendering issues

[pliant folio]

encountered these lol

[sharp kettle]

Firetruck Icon update when

[orchid sorrel]

when lobby decides to unretard the dimensions

because 31x41 is NOT normal

[strong jackal]

Please don't use that word

Automod stops me from saying it

[charred skiff]

ok

[pliant folio]

What is the category id of transport?

[mighty dove]

wdym

[orchid sorrel]

the question is pretty clear

[mighty dove]

i mean

[orchid sorrel]

no need to reply if you don't know the answer

[charred skiff]

bokoblo did you finish a yacht?

[mighty dove]

nvm i thought it was other thing

[orchid sorrel]

the id is $cat_transport00

you can check that yourself in the game if you have experimental settings and debug mode on

[pliant folio]

Thanks

[pliant folio]

Alr

[pliant folio]

Do trains support night animations?

yes they do

[sharp kettle]

lol

[pliant folio]

?

[charred skiff]

You answered your own question

[pliant folio]

because i found out just after

[charred skiff]

Ok

[mighty dove]

what do you guys think??

[sharp kettle]

ingame building comparison, what do you think?

[charred skiff]

Lol

Too small

[sharp kettle]

roof is bent, the scale is absolutely off, no shadow, no texture, color is cartoonish

[charred skiff]

Ye

[sharp kettle]

having a reference image is crucial

(talking about theotown building style)

[sand seal]

I dunno but this looks brazilian

[viral belfry]

it gives me

immense schizophrenia that

some buildings in vanilla have multiple sides

and some only have one

[urban grove]

Could've at least tried to make it match TheoTown style. Everything about this is wrong, sorry if that sounds mean.

[pliant folio]

i know how to fix the placement of the light but does some know why its flickering?

[pliant folio]

nice, what is all that remaining space for

[eager oriole]

I'm your fan, the big statue was the best ✨❤️

But yeah, you should take a look trought forum, getting started or tutorial that are pinned here

[tranquil hazel]

amazing

[tranquil hazel]

amazing

[eager oriole]

Tik tok logo 😬

[dusk kernel]

Hey, those look really nice
They remind me of Rain World's cities

[eager oriole]

finally some one got the reference, yeah i love those cities and i wanted to make the wave style

[dusk kernel]

Gotta love Rain World's cities, super dense and packed and just so upright heh

Very iconic

[dusk kernel]

Might need some taller ones for the iconic tallest tower

If you wana include that one ofc

[eager oriole]

i mean, of course i'm gonna add more bigger variants

the 3x3 its not finished

[dusk kernel]

Alrighty
It is looking pretty nice tho heh

[eager oriole]

thanks ✨

[surreal oasis]

something is coming

this will be the most complicated piece i'm going to make ever since the pavehawk plugin

[eager oriole]

this smells like something fire 🔥

[hoary night]

Wow it’s big

[eager oriole]

the four variation

comparation

[stark wraith]

I haven’t noticed 😳

[eager oriole]

i mean, those buildings are massive if i remember

[flint tusk]

An attempt at doing Hilton Park Services (but I can't code add ons)

also my asset is off

[midnight obsidian]

If you're gonna use satellite imagery to make plugins at least get the right angle

[supple tapir]

Hello. I downloaded and installed a couple of plugins from showcase not plugin store and almost all of them couldnt be read in my game- the plugins didnt work because the plugins didnt have plugin.manifest file in it, only .json file

should we download plugins only from plugins store or is there a workaround of my case?

[dreamy hearth]

first of all, which where is this building from?
secondly, it looks way off

[flint tusk]

UK - Hilton Park Services

[dreamy hearth]

ahh lemme look at it rn

[dreamy hearth]

like what rtobby said, you have to use the right angle

kinda like this

[flint tusk]

Gotcha, thanks

[dreamy hearth]

actually wait this one's better

[flint tusk]

I'll fill in the tree area

[stark wraith]

Maybe you put the plugins in the wrong folder and it doesn’t matter

[dreamy hearth]

but if I were you I'd just recreate this since this looks fairly simple to recreate

[flint tusk]

Man I Love those old towers, what a time gone by

[supple tapir]

i did not. the plugins directory is in %USERPROFILE%/My Documents/../TheoTown/plugins right

[stark wraith]

Then you mean when you opened the game a message popped up

[supple tapir]

it did. it says i dont have the file plugin.manifest. Hence, the plugins didnt work

[stark wraith]

😂 it doesn’t matter just press ok

The plugins will work

[supple tapir]

apologise but in my case it didnt idk why

these are the plugins which are succesfully installed or working

[stark wraith]

Send screenshot

[supple tapir]

meanwhile ive got a ton load of them

[stark wraith]

Send a screenshot of what happens when you open the game?

[supple tapir]

there are 35 plugins installed but only 7 worked

[supple tapir]

nothing unsual or error happened

[stark wraith]

Then let’s play 😊

[supple tapir]

i can play normally but I CANT play with plugins succesfuly installed

the plugins only work if it has plugin.manifest in it

[stark wraith]

Are you sure?

[supple tapir]

yes based on my case and observation

in fact, i just make a plugin.manifest for a plugin namely oil platform

[flint tusk]

(Downscaled)

[supple tapir]

it didnt have plugin.manifest before

now i created one and voila the plugin is readable on my game

turned out it is pretty easy to make one so my case is solved i suppose

thank you for your time my good sir

[charred skiff]

Yee

[stark wraith]

Aww thank you ☺️

[surreal oasis]

oh come on

that isn't how it works

AAAAAA

Now, before you all scream at me that it looks bland as hell, it is based off this one

I couldn't find a better quality image

[stark wraith]

I love how you offend cutely 😊

[surreal oasis]

[near flame]

you should add shadows

[surreal oasis]

there is.

[orchid sorrel]

they are hardly visible

take a look at vanilla buildings

[charred skiff]

did you even see Baku airport lol?

[dusty hill]

[near flame]

yes

[supple tapir]

are there any actual commands for TT console command, like give sum money or anything?

My enemies will chase me even in the moon

I think I found a way to transport goods from earth to the moon for free

Without spaceships

Let’s militarise the moon

Now instead of helping the pickles hehehe 😈

You will send them back home but without a rocket

[urban grove]

No

[stark wraith]

Somewhere on the hidden side of the moon

Now they can’t hide their *ss

[stuck grove]

:HUH:

[wild moat]

anyways — are there any rotation-aware decals and fences?

[charred skiff]

Huh?

Every decal and fence is rotation aware...

[wild moat]

diagonal decals and fences that are also rotation-aware, I mean

[stark wraith]

First contact fr

[wild moat]

I don't think so.

[charred skiff]

Huh?

[orchid sorrel]

fences are inherently rotation aware if they are actual fences

diagonal "fences" which are actually just 1x1 decorations might or might not be rotation aware

[wild moat]

are you talking about fences that sit atop tiles, or atop tile "boundaries"?

[orchid sorrel]

tile edges

those are fences

[flint tusk]

The tower itself is at an angle, that's why it appears facing forward

[charred skiff]

Ye

[wild moat]

tile-edge fences that are diagonal aren't too rotation-aware

[charred skiff]

Wha...?

[orchid sorrel]

it's up to plugin creators whether or not to provide rotation frames for diagonal fences

[wild moat]

Are there any good plugins that provide those fences with rotation frames for diagonals though?

[orchid sorrel]

especially considering that the diagonal stuff is not even a vanilla thign

no idea

look for them yourself

[wild moat]

already looked for several — that's why I asked you

[orchid sorrel]

that probably means there aren't really any

I can provide technical help but looking for specific plugins is not what I'm gonna do

[charred skiff]

What fence you want?

[supple tapir]

aight thanks

[flint tusk]

What size would this building be?

[charred skiff]

It is not how it works but ok

[flint tusk]

?

[charred skiff]

It will not fit game style

[flint tusk]

Ik

[orchid sorrel]

a single tile is 32 pixels wide

measure it yourself

[charred skiff]

Ok

[flint tusk]

I'm prob going to recreate it later, I'm just trying to validate it

Or whatever it is (I don't develop plugins)

[orchid sorrel]

validate?

[flint tusk]

I don't know what the term is

[charred skiff]

Validate?

[flint tusk]

-_-

[charred skiff]

??

[flint tusk]

I'm just going to see what happens

[charred skiff]

Well coca cola

Missusing the Red cross is a war crime

I remember somebody made spacex logo too

[charred skiff]

can you help me with something please (not yachts)?

in dms

[prisma vault]

Darn.

[orchid sorrel]

I'd argue that the actual problem is finding anyone who would be willing to draw more than just a single building, if any

[charred skiff]

why do you even need simpsons house in TT lol

[sharp kettle]

?

why not

theres spongebob house in TT

anything can be in TT i guess

[charred skiff]

they just look odd

[orchid sorrel]

and why does anyone need 32508395 road angles

[charred skiff]

and not in TT style

[orchid sorrel]

they look odd too

[charred skiff]

@orchid sorrel what do you think

[boreal charm]

for this version

[orchid sorrel]

I suppose it looks alright

[boreal charm]

:D

credits 2 devs for an asset i used

i actually sampled each of them from whatever's available in-game

[blissful basalt]

Looks like a remaster of European tenements pack

[supple tapir]

What will happen to my downloaded and installed plugins from plugins store if i move from one device to another? Will they be automatically carried over and redownloaded?

[blissful basalt]

You need to redownload it but it's carried over to your Device unless you probably have like umm TT account

[supple tapir]

aight

i dont mind redownloading all over again as long as they are carried over

thanks

[charred skiff]

WIP, i will release it when i finish

[royal linden]

Almost done, just a few essential things left. I hate putting in the lighting 😭

I mean, now that I notice. There's still a lot missing 😭

[charred skiff]

My first and latest plugin 🥹

My first plugin isn't even completed

[charred skiff]

Lol

[urban grove]

Cool

[still gorge]

Málaga building

[boreal charm]

i was trying for a more Prussian styled architecture (i think i failed in making that to keep it simple)

[boreal charm]

mmm

[supple tapir]

at what point does zone (resident, commercial, industrial) stop growing or upgrading itself? Will the automatic growing zone system also include plugins or just vanilla? for example, I have a residential plugin that can house up to 5k people. If I meet 100% happiness, will the residential zone upgrade itself to build that 5k people plugin or just highes VANILLA residential building?

[boreal charm]

it will stop at the most advanced buildings

yes it includes plugins

except for zone exclusive ones (like East coast zone)

[supple tapir]

holy that's great

thank you my good sir

[boreal charm]

ye

basically that lel

[orchid sorrel]

that's some real weird geometry going on here

[charred skiff]

No?

Its like irl building

[orchid sorrel]

how do you explain the lower outbuilding part

[supple tapir]

one more question regarding zoning. how do I set the zoning to my liking? elaboration: the vanilla system for zoning is, the total, 7x7 (6x6 for the zone and 1x1 for the road), right? How do i make it, let's say, 10x10 + road etc?

[orchid sorrel]

using that geometry means that segment is floating above the ground

[orchid sorrel]

as in change autoroad grid size? you can't do that

[supple tapir]

Yes, as in that

well, that unfortunate

thanks

[charred skiff]

?

[orchid sorrel]

then your roof is wrong

[crimson basin]

you need to adjust the roof

[charred skiff]

Uhh ok

[charred skiff]

Oki, thanks

[orchid sorrel]

and that's why you make sure the geometry is alright before texturing

lesson number 1

[old folio]

can someone send me the vps server

[charred skiff]

Roof texturing is on another layer xd

[orchid sorrel]

yeah but it still would be easier to just do it right the first time than having to fix stuff later

[sharp kettle]

oh i forgot some stuff on the hospital

it looks impressive but I really dislike the assets

man, that is nice, we really don have much ww2 stuff anyway

[dusty hill]

yeah

[old folio]

anyone got back up file for aos? 😭💔

[stoic palm]

They should be somewhere

[dusty hill]

idk why AoS was abandoned

it was such a good plugin

[stoic palm]

Hadestia is the only plugin maker I know of who is okay with his older files being shared from what I've talked to him about

[stoic palm]

And people get tried it's not a wild concept

[sharp kettle]

it is a city building game

[dusty hill]

yuh

but still it would be cool to do some interesting Battlefields

[sharp kettle]

nahhh, plugin creator clearly is a uh.. machine with 1 singular purpose apparently, and its to share your hard work to the world! and if you don't, people will call you stuff 🥰

[dusty hill]

Anyway, we got Complex industry plugin

but unfortunately progress on it stopped at the moment
(obvious reasons)

[old folio]

“somewhere”?

[dusty hill]

wait

[stoic palm]

That's what I said

Glad you can read 🙂

[old folio]

like where do i find em

[dusty hill]

I remember when i was doing some Platform with big Tank on it

[stoic palm]

That's why I said somewhere lmao

[old folio]

damn what a shame

[dusty hill]

it was scrapped later

[static pollen]

Is the sand blend the new version ?

[urban grove]

Wait so i can share Age Of Sail? I have a working file of it

[stoic palm]

From what we have talked about

But it's been a while since we talked about it, could be worth rearching out to make sure he's still fine with it

[crisp hound]

Plss tell me How to shading?

[charred skiff]

wha...?

[crisp hound]

how do you find the right color

I tried to make it but the coloring was very bad

[charred skiff]

idk just pick colors from irl building and tweak them a bit

[crisp hound]

what app is good for making plugins?

[charred skiff]

aseprite

[crisp hound]

Thx

[charred skiff]

you have to buy it tho

also it is not on mobile

[charred skiff]

never stop cooking

[uncut acorn]

Now you’re making a tall building

[covert root]

Thanks😊

[charred skiff]

))

[covert root]

Yes I got idea to make that kind of building

[uncut acorn]

That’s great

[stark wraith]

I have a question please 🙏
Metal wood and concrete have the same shading?

Like concrete needs more noise and metal doesn’t?

Or the metal is more shiny?

[quaint musk]

Is that a shader 👀
Build looks awesome

[covert root]

No I made left side brighter than normally I think

[covert root]

.

[quaint musk]

Oh, wasn't talking about the building

Just thought there was fog
I'm so used to the contrast plugin

[covert root]

Oh It is sunlight

Scaled Hollywood Sign. Isometric lines at the top and bottom to have the letters isometric and good height. And try to make the letters the same size

like a bomb went off on the left side

[charred skiff]

Bri'ish house

Looks awesome

[neat cedar]

It is because of my pc

I dunno why it does that

sending images with that old mister is like dropping a flash bomb to chat

[orchid sorrel]

is it really? the template colors in your previous image are fine

[neat cedar]

I can't really say anything since I see every image i send in very high contrast for no reason

maybe sending via phone could help

Prolly because of the building's color anyways

in game it may seem better

[charred skiff]

Keep cooking with your city

[orchid sorrel]

it's not better lol

[neat cedar]

yes it is the building's color lol I just realized

[charred skiff]

It is a bit too bright ig

[neat cedar]

lemme fix rq

[uncut acorn]

Compared to mine, mine is kinda dull

[neat cedar]

a bit better ig

dont wannna make it darker

[orchid sorrel]

still looks pretty off around those buildings

but you do you

[neat cedar]

Ill make more types of this so itll seem better

this is the first building of the pack

I couldnt find any better fitting buildings for now

the bigger the tile, the bigger it holds worker/people
