Ptag creation

# stoic palm Ptag creation

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

@orchid sorrel any ideas on how to optimise texture space while rehauling the waterfall plugin?

# peak egret guys how do I make a plugin with multiple buildings?

if you mean multiple objects in a plugin, then just put a comma after one object (in curly brackets {}) and write the code for another one. if you mean multiple frames for one object, then just define multiple frame objects in "frames", again, separated by commas

high voltage wires can be connected between cities to trade electricity

a "super conductive" building also conducts that high voltage electricity

it ain't rocket science

Thank you

#

I understand now

#

As long as I learned from the past, a high voltage cannot be distributed directly into the house, must go through the transformer first. Do I learn the wrong thing?

  5. This white and blue building

  6. These 2 buildings in the back

  7. This row of buildings

  8. This group of buildings

I tried my best and, again, found most plugins needed, but idek what to search for to find these remaining plugins.

Leaf said 1 pixel is around 0.6 meters

So check the dimensions of the artwork

And covert it to pixels and you should be able to make it accurate

Oh yes i think the statue itself is about 12* meters tall i would prefer make it 20 so from what you said maybe it's a bit too big

12 meters • 0.6 (pixel) ≈ 7 pixels tall

Guys

How to create a plugin with reflective walls?

stoic palm
#

What do you mean

sharp hare
#

its impossible i think

#

i THINK though

civic marten
#

Yep,like mirror

stoic palm
#

Yeah that is not a thing to my knowledge

#

I am not even sure that's possible

white snow
civic marten
#

If it can't be fully reflective, how make it look like an "illusion" of reflection?

dark nymph
#

You would have to project whatever is front of the house.

white snow
#

So if you want to do that on the surface of your asset first paint the building a solid color then on another layer grab a picture of a landscape you want then alpha lock or clip through the area you want to show reflection then play around the opacity

#

There's no code that allows reflection

dark nymph
#

Damn.

white snow
#

Most "reflection" you see on other plugins are either painted or just an overlayed image

tiny silo
white snow
white snow
#

Or you can make the house fully transparent and just the edges and the shaded part shown if you want an easy solution

stoic palm
#

I mean you'd be better off just editing a building in post afterwards tbh

Yeah some amount of photoshop and just a white base building would likely yeild the best results lol

No wonder you're askin for a reflection effect

white snow
#

How would you do the whole length of the structure with a reflection effect?

civic marten
#

Idk

#

Even such a large building could not be built in theotown

#

Or is it?

white snow
#

Btw in the codes, all sizes must be a 1:1 ratio
Meaning you can't do a 1 by (insert whatever the length of the structure) unless you make it as a 'composition'

Worry not there's a composition extractor on the dev tool plugin

generate a map with 100% desert. take a map screenshot, then put that texture on the sides of the building. turn down the opacity, and make the texture more transparent and blurry the further away it is from the edge. this might make a convincing reflective effect maybe?

It's 20km large

so called maths

#

you should try it

heady sky
# orchid sorrel so called maths

i did maths and i personally believe it's more like 10 by 10 metres per tile, i.e. 0.01 by 0.01 kilometres

small: 32x32 tiles; (32*0.01)^2 = 0.1024 sq km, rounded to 2 s.f. = 0.10 sq km
medium: 64x64 tiles; (64*0.01)^2 = 0.4096 sq km, rounded to 2 s.f. = 0.41 sq km
large: 128x128 tiles; (128*0.01)^2 = 1.6384 sq km, rounded to 2 s.f. = 1.6 sq km

etc. i won't do the maths for the rest rn but i'd be surprised if they weren't the same. if a tile were 13 by 13 metres, i.e. 0.013 by 0.013 kilometres:

small: 32x32 tiles; (32*0.013)^2 = 0.173056 sq km, rounded to 2 s.f. = 0.17 sq km
medium: 64x64 tiles; (64*0.013)^2 = 0.692224 sq km, rounded to 2 s.f. = 0.69 sq km
large: 128x128 tiles; (128*0.013)^2 = 2.768896 sq km, rounded to 2 s.f. = 2.8 sq km

so the 10m size matches with the measurements given by the game when creating maps, plus it feels right for me. ofc 13/14 metres isn't that far off and could be believable, but is there another source of measurements in-game that these numbers are based upon?

orchid sorrel
#

the 10x10 measurement is completely arbitrary

heady sky
#

as for the 13x13?

orchid sorrel
#

actual building scale is usually 1px = 60cm

orchid sorrel
heady sky
orchid sorrel
#

10x10 is just rounded down for simplicity and is used solely in that one single screen in the game

when did you hallucinate this

static pollen
orchid sorrel
#

yeah

#

that's the half of a tile

civic marten
orchid sorrel
#

read your own question

static pollen
#

so you mean that 1 pixel = 9.6 meters is for 180° line ?

orchid sorrel
#

what??????????

static pollen
orchid sorrel
#

I'm not going to discuss with you until you build a coherent sentence

static pollen
#

Like I have a truck that's 8 pixels long. Does that mean its real length would be 8*0.6=4.8 meters ?

orchid sorrel
#

..no?

#

we've been over this

static pollen
#

But what scale should I use thenbear_shrug

orchid sorrel
#

calculate that yourself

#

the pythagorean theorem isn't rocket science

static pollen
#

but you told me that to obtain diagonal length from isometric , you multiply by √2

orchid sorrel
#

.....yeah???

#

that's the direct consequence of the pythagorean theorem applied in a 45 angled triangle??

static pollen
#

So my truck should be 3.5 meters long 🤔

orchid sorrel
#

most likely

static pollen
#

I don't think it makes sense with the proportions of the vehicles or even the buildings in the game

orchid sorrel
#

are you only realizing that now

#

of course the scale in the game doesn't make sense

static pollen
#

it somehow gives downsized stuff once divided by √2

#

well the proportions of the game are closer to something that is not divided by √2

orchid sorrel
#

I just gave you the maths for the scale 1px = 60cm

static pollen
#

yeah but you told me this is for the diagonal size

orchid sorrel
#

my guy

#

the scale stays constant to matter the direction you look at

#

in isometric projection the height and the 'diagonal' face pointing towards you stays 'dimensions accurate'

static pollen
#

this for the height only

orchid sorrel
#

the other views aren't cartesian geometry accurate

static pollen
#

I'm talking about lengths

orchid sorrel
#

????????

#

yeah you dont get it at all

static pollen
#

It's my pinned message

orchid sorrel
#

yeah?? and what does this have to do with literally anything

frigid tusk
#

Horizontal Diagonal (32px) = 19.2 meters
Half horizontal diagonal (16px) = 9.6 meters
Vertical diagonal (15px) = 9 meters
Half vertical diagonal (8px) = 4.8 meters
A side (using Pythagoras) = 10.7 meters

orchid sorrel
#

what....

#

how can your diagonals in a square have different lengths....

frigid tusk
#

I told why

#

Pixels

orchid sorrel
#

the lack of abstract thinking here is astonishing

frigid tusk
#

Vertical is 15px so 15×0.6

orchid sorrel
#

you can't just count pixels and call it a day...

static pollen
frigid tusk
#

I do

static pollen
#

That gives 3 meters wide buses

#

Now imagine a house

frigid tusk
#

Use your own scale for your buses

#

I use mine to build

static pollen
#

how about house

orchid sorrel
#

if you take a look into the game

#

the vehicles are horribly disproportionate

static pollen
#

Yeah so buildings would be more fair for comparison

orchid sorrel
#

yes they would

static pollen
#

how to make an isometric cube if you don't use the same real / pixel proportions for height and isometric length. Unless i misunderstood

boreal charm
#

i tried turning 3d model into, well 2d to determine wether if would look better than making buildings by hand

didnt go that well in my opinion

#

for comparison, this is what i acheived handmade

white snow
#

I love it when people use math to measure a structure, while I prefer to rely on good old eyeballin or take an image with a person in it and then use them as a reference for scale, since those are just three pixels in theotown scale.

orchid sorrel
#

yeah it's the best method

#

it's not like anything in this game is accurate

boreal charm
#

i thinks

white snow
#

Nahh

To be honest, your work hasn't aged much and it's still pretty and useful. I think you should more like working on new buildings, but I think this is what you actually plan. Whatever you do ( and whatever year you did it), you always do it with care and the end result is stunning bear_fire_st
