Who have this building

[jade kernel]

One liberty plaza (not done)

[surreal oasis]

the magic red circle of emphasis does not seem to exist

[rocky mirage]

Which one

[surreal oasis]

What i mean is, you did not encircle which building you are asking for

[rocky mirage]

Ohhh

[rocky mirage]

Sorry

Let mw fix that

[surreal oasis]

Eitherway, I recommend giving up the search. I highly believe it is 🤮private🤮

[rocky mirage]

But rhe screenshot is already focus a building that not exist on plugin store

[surreal oasis]

Therefore it is private.

[rocky mirage]

Its not privated but its already remove

By dawood murtaza

[surreal oasis]

What I mean is, the author most certainly don't want the general public using it

[rocky mirage]

But this plugin was once public

[surreal oasis]

You can try contacting the original author instead

[rocky mirage]

Already be dead account

[surreal oasis]

Search for in the forums

[rocky mirage]

Its not sends it forum

[surreal oasis]

How can you be so sure?

[rocky mirage]

Look this

[surreal oasis]

Search for it in the forums

Otherwise, that's how it is.

[rocky mirage]

🗿 i told you

[surreal oasis]

Do you understand what I am saying?

[rocky mirage]

If you dont Trust me, find your own

[surreal oasis]

I said, you can search for it in the forums since judging by its looks, its those times where people posted on both the forums and the store.

And most of all

[rocky mirage]

It's useless, I've searched there but the results are zero.

[surreal oasis]

Then give up.

[rocky mirage]

Never*

[surreal oasis]

If it only used to exist in the store, then it no longer exists

[surreal oasis]

Do I have to repeat myself?

[rocky mirage]

Nope

I never* give up

[surreal oasis]

Managed plugins cannot be transferred to other devices let alone be uploaded outside of the store

[rocky mirage]

Ok thanks for tell

[surreal oasis]

So again, if it only existed in the plugin store, then giving up is the best choice

Good news!!1!1

It’s published on the LPC Server :)

Go bananas 🍌

[static knoll]

One thing! Publish it as ".ttplugin". Lately, textures have been stolen.

[rare spire]

Do you know how do that? I tried this and failed. 🙁

[vivid gust]

Yea I might need to notify my friend about this

[static knoll]

You need to go to Plugins Showcase on Google; there's an option there to transform your zip file into a ttplugin.

And of course, it is mandatory to have a unique Plugin Manifest for that Plugin.

[rare spire]

Alright.

[vivid gust]

I might just publish my next projects on servers instead of the public from now on

[tired imp]

Will the non square buildings update maybe help you

I don't know if such a bridge can be reviewed, because it doesn't reserve space for in-game roads.

[lapis stream]

Wow

Is this not from discord?

[spark cargo]

He is SPE's member and this bridge is one of his works.

[spark cargo]

[uncut acorn]

Accurate bank of China??? Can’t wait

[uncut acorn]

You should make the bridge split into bridge parts

Don’t include the roads, but you must need to know when fitting in-game roads

[spark cargo]

Ya

[static pollen]

Please keep the road version aside

[lapis stream]

What I'm saying is that is this on discord?

[spark cargo]

This is another chat application, as shown in his screenshot.

[thick mural]

Perhaps this bridge can only exist as a decoration, because its deck is inclined, in order to restore reality.

When I upload it, I will set it as decoration, not road decoration.

[uncut acorn]

Yeah you could do that perhaps

You can refer to this
https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?p=206992#p206992

A suspension bridge guide, reference by matheus town

[uncut acorn]

Everyone who wants to plan bigger & longer bridges, you can refer here

[lapis stream]

Am jealous 😭

[thick mural]

The main reason is that if you want to follow the method in the website, your bridge deck must be horizontal, because the road in the game is horizontal.

But if you look at the bridge I'm drawing, you'll see that it's probably not horizontal, and the slope ranges from 1 degree to 2.5 degrees.

[uncut acorn]

Exactly. You should make it straight not having a bit slope-y

That’s just how in-game works

Slope doesn’t support in the game

Rework the bridge road, then do it horizontally

[thick mural]

Such a bridge will make the game more realistic, and you will see a bridge that conforms to structural engineering.

I think authenticity is always more important than whether the game has the corresponding function.

[uncut acorn]

Check this one

[thick mural]

Because of the limitations of the bridge construction method in the game, players have to spend a lot of time removing the unsightly piers, and I feel sorry for the wasted time.

[uncut acorn]

Time consuming I see

[thick mural]

A key rule in design is the importance of human-machine coordination, which means that the designer must consider the convenience of the user of the equipment.

Most people share their cities through static photos, stretched perspectives, traffic and traffic animations, which are less important.

[near flame]

i love the new surge of chinese into global tt community and the way they talk

A delicate vessel, small and delicate.

[keen helm]

Sailboats are among my favorite and I hope to make some good quality ones for my coastal villages but I'd also like to draw barges down the road

Main focus is still calvaries, crosses and other small assets for villages

but vehicles are neat, I hope I can do more

[near flame]

i think we need more yachts

for piers

like in monaco

[keen helm]

Small ones, maybe

the big ones are really not a priority

[near flame]

yeah

put them in posittions like this

[keen helm]

Most of those are still too big for what I have in mind

[near flame]

[spark cargo]

True.Because I also use transltor🤣

They are found nearly everywhere in France and I kind of want to pay homage to our cultural heritage

[dark nymph]

Vernacular plugins are my favorite type of plugins. Keep doing these, they are great for the french and also for us.

[keen helm]

Thanks, that's indeed very important for those who want to do more than just pile up buildings

Just thinking about this but I'll surely also need to make some props for houses, fences, small pools, etc...

There are just so many props to make

Memorials

[keen helm]

Added the first two calvaries

I would like to add 5-6 more, and perhaps a very high cross, which you could place on top of a hill

That should be enough for now to bring more variety to villages

Might improve the textures slightly

Expect 2-3 small ones next

Not a problem I think

[near flame]

that's what you think

i see a lot of his plugins use too much ambient occlusions

it looks so smooth it's uncanny

just an advise to go easy with it

[spark cargo]

In fact, the model will have inherent noise.

[thick mural]

But this light effect is more real, isn't it?

If a module uses a certain drawing method to give players a more realistic feeling, then why not?

You should make a server where you can upload your plugins bc they're so good

[remote herald]

Sadly, no

[keen helm]

Alright, just inquired because rn, the devs are blocking any release of non-square building plugins if they aren't rotation aware (including compositions). But it is very promising, you are very talented it seems

[remote herald]

Thank you

[static pollen]

There's an easy way to make rotations fast. Although I think having rotations allow more houses for a perfect suburb, you don't always have to rely on PS rules

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

[crimson basin]

Kulche isnt known for sugar coating, but if you want genuine feedback and are willing to improve it, he would help you
It definitely does come off that way, but for the store, do know that the quality expectation is rather high, so it was honest feedback, coming from someone who moderates the store plugins

they dropped support for some devices

[tired imp]

What's a good app to make a plugin

I can't find anything

[crimson basin]

on mobile?

i dont know, i wouldnt make plugins on mobile 😭

pixly was okay but it wasnt the best

ive heard people using ibis paint x

but you would need to figure out that ui first

[tired imp]

Why??

[crimson basin]

cause none of the drawing apps really work so well for me

i used to draw random stuff in pixly in clas though, but i would import them into my laptop and work on it over paint.net

[unique kindle]

Why does this game care about high quality so much

Can't y'all just be like the steam workshop store and approve every plugin and if someone doesn't like it, they don't have to download it

[stoic palm]

Well... logically

This is a games store

It is directly controlled by the people who make the game?

Whereas steam workshop is just ran by steam... who 99% of the time does not make the game

Plus if you made a game why on earth would you not encourage the best of the best

It's really just common sense

[crimson basin]

we impose quality on the store since people have to pay diamonds to download those plugins
we do allow leniancy to first timers compared to more experienced creators

if your plugins arent to that starndard yet, that is okay. You upload to the forum showcase and also improve plugins overtime before uploading to the store

[unique kindle]

Best of the best is wild

Its not like we're a top tier game like GTA or CS

[unique kindle]

And there's other games stores that approve whatever stuff players upload

I'm not a mod or anything like that and tbh I don't care to be but the whole thing about Harvard tier quality plugins for a small indie game doesn't make sense to me

That's my opinion though

[stoic palm]

well when its your game... you can call the shots lmao

And for the record it doesn't make any sense to suggest that any creator of anything shouldn't want the best for their creation regardless of budget or origin

[crimson basin]

well the plugin store is an odd thing

• On one hand, if low quality plugins get accepted, then both players and creators complain that it is not fair. It would still be 30 diamonds to install a single house that is maybe a 1x1 vs one that is a pck or contains larger buildings. (Keep in mind that 30 is the limit where people can watch ads to download plugins)
• On the other hand, we try to be leniant on new creators because if we keep the quality too high, we wont get new creators. Compared to experienced creators there is definitley a lot more leeway for new ones even if you dont see it

And thats something im telling you as someone who has approved plugins before

[static knoll]

Yes, it told me there was an error with an ID and the Category, but it's literally perfect, and the same goes for several plugins.

It must be some bug on my end.

[crimson basin]

Showing the error message would be helpful

[near flame]

i think the only reason why they didnt implement steam workshop for this game is because

theotown is a cross-platform game

steam workshop is only available for pc, not for mobile

so it's just not possible

[stoic palm]

I mean yes. But that wasn't really his argument, nor mine haha

[near flame]

yeah im just adding my view there

[near flame]

leaf's progress on un

[heady sky]

the code in isolation might be fine, but maybe it’s reusing some ids, or maybe the code defining your category is being compiled after you reference it? like bunny said, the error message would help us more

[static knoll]

Yes, yes, I apologize, here it is

And this is the Json

[crimson basin]

is the category defined before this one?

where are you defining the category?

[heady sky]

which json file did you define the category in? if the category json file has a name that alphabetically comes after “ANG.json”, then it won’t be defined at the time it is referenced here

a simple way to fix this would be to just name the category json file ‘0.json’ or something like that, since numbers come before letters in this alphabetical order

[unique kindle]

That's why I said "That's my opinion though"

[crimson basin]

or my personal preferred method, just define everything in one json

[unique kindle]

Alright that makes more sense now

Thanks

[uncut acorn]

Is there a new random code every day?

[crimson basin]

nope

you get codes from being a plugin creator or winning events usually

[upper hull]

Haha thanks, man! You totally Rickrolled me and thanks for the diamonds too 😂

[upper hull]

So that’s the secret huh. Guess I need to win some events then 😎

[crimson basin]

its a one time use code everyone can use

[crimson basin]

give me event ideas and maybe we shall have events

:)

[upper hull]

Oh nice! I’ll try to think of some cool event ideas. Maybe something fun and creative for everyone, Just don’t make the prize another Rickroll this time :v

Hi anyone know where the documentation for animations for cars is?

[orchid sorrel]

I don't think there's any

because it works just like for any other draft type

[toxic nest]

Oof

Well since you're here kluche, "pos" means the x and y of each frame then "frames" means which car frame it is to be put no?

[orchid sorrel]

well that would be what common sense says

I don't know what exactly do the pos values represent

they might be handles?

[toxic nest]

Idk if i did this right. I tried using anims so that when using auto colorize for the base of the vehicle, it wont colorize the windows and lights.

[orchid sorrel]

change your language to json with comments lol

[toxic nest]

here it is ingame

[orchid sorrel]

...what does "important" do?

[toxic nest]

Actually idk. Just saw it with the in-game vehicle anims so i also put that in

[orchid sorrel]

that's a terrible idea.....

[toxic nest]

actually you're right

lol

removing "important" made them visible finally! just need to position them...

[orchid sorrel]

I'm pretty sure the important attribute is for emergency lights

[toxic nest]

97% sure it was lol

[toxic nest]

Now i just need to understand this bit

[orchid sorrel]

pretty easy to just experiment around with the values

[light lagoon]

Oof

[pale ferry]

Diamonds ain't too bad tho

[light lagoon]

Yeah

Guys I'm looking for nice building plugins roads and train any recommendations?

[toxic nest]

One more question, for the "count" attrib in the animation, how do i indicate which one of those to use?

[orchid sorrel]

what?

"count" defines the count of frames that will be pulled from a single image

[near flame]

nice

how we have two person working on odaiba

[near flame]

[keen helm]

Might release a sixth style of lamp posts for the props expansion

[keen helm]

For religious statues, would you include those in a "statue" sub-category for props or in the cross, calvaries and oratories category ?

this is the statue in question

should roughly look like that, the scale will be a bit off but it's inspired and not based on the real one

[toxic nest]

lol my wording was so bad. i meant how do i let the game know which frame among those to use? ie. i want the nth frame of the anim to be used.

[orchid sorrel]

I'm not sure if I follow

I'd need you to explain exactly what are you trying to do

[haughty moth]

🛠️

[toxic nest]

I combined all 4 frames of the anim in 1 image. each frame of the anim corresponds to a vehicle frame.

so i want to cut the anim image into 4. like in what i did, the frames weren't cut as intended

[orchid sorrel]

you'd set the count to 4 and then use width = width of one frame

(if your frames are placed horizontally)

[toxic nest]

got it. then on "telling" the code to use frame 2 (anim) on frame 2 (vehicle)?

is it handle x or just x

since the width and height was already defined on the anim itself.

[orchid sorrel]

coordinates have nothing to do with this

I'm pretty sure you can just make the animation rotation aware

[toxic nest]

now that you've mentioned it... i'll try that

lol 2022 self probably knows better

[dark bloom]

Guys do anybody knows this person's discord who made this and all new york buildings?

[dark nymph]

I would just gather all props in their respective categories as decorations. Or according to their influences: religious/cultural/park.

Or like: urban props(street lamps, posts, trees, phone booths) and monumental props (plaza statues, religious monuments)

[urban grove]

Is that a building in Frankfurt?

[dark nymph]

Sadly, pixly is an old non updated app and some cellphones can't use it anymore. The owner is a brazilian guy who made the app as a hobby or something. You can see it was a really basic app, but really beloved by the community.
Nowadays you will see tutorials using any pixel editors. I guess the most common one in cellphone devices that I see people using here is Resprite.

I also have downloaded it, but never used because I think it is pain to do things on my phone.

[keen helm]

Currently it more or less works that way

[dark nymph]

On the PC, I like to use Paint.net. It's simple, easy to use and free. You may feel some missing mechanics because of its simplicity, but its enough to make any plugin.

Duuuude.

That's so rad.

[keen helm]

It costs nothing to add a new category but it wins a lot of time for players to find easily what they look for

[keen helm]

thanks !

[dark nymph]

Yeah, just put it all in a "monuments" category if you want to.

Some kind of landmark.

[dark nymph]

There is also the classic ibisPaint X that everyone downloaded atleast once. But most of the features are locked and you need to pay. :(

[quartz jewel]

Hi guys, I come with a prosaic question, but for me it is very important.

How do you make textures for buildings (general something)? I mean specifically some dirt, details that prove that it is the facade of the building.

Personally, I'm a beginner in making plugins, but I understand the processes of making them. Beyond making textures, because - you don't do everything by hand. Right?

[crimson basin]

If you want you can put dirt texture from the game or leave it transparent so people can put any ground underneath it

[dapper sky]

nice,does the bus color change depending on route color?

[crimson basin]

youre doing a good job

[spark cargo]

[spark cargo]

[dark nymph]

Wang Zhong is just a wizard at this point.

[dark nymph]

Try taking inspiration from real life and implementing it into the game's design logic of shadows, depth, windows and pixel size.

There are various guides around here and on the forum.

Also, add noise. Paint.net has a noise function and it is a free app.

And don't start big. Make a house, then some other smaller buildings. I didn't even make my first plugin yet because it is a big university in a 6x6 baseplate, lol.

For the textures, which is your actual question, I just add noise all over it and it sometimes look good? Cloud and smear functions are useful too.

And take inspiration from others, sure.

[uncut acorn]

@thick mural shouldnt you make a pack instead of separates?

It’s just a suggestion though, can’t force ya

@orchid sorrel Can a bridge like this, which leaves no space for the road in the game, be approved in principle?

[orchid sorrel]

what do you mean leaves no space

as in the road is decorative?

[thick mural]

Yes, you can observe that the bridge actually has some curvature.

if it has rotation frames and is implemented correctly I don't see why it wouldn't

loop ramp??

[static pollen]

Loop ramp..

[orchid sorrel]

depends purely on the implementation

[thick mural]

This is there, but I think it's hard to connect with the original path of the game.

It's just a formal connection.

If there are a lot of people who need it, I may make a version with a circular ramp.

[static pollen]

I really think you should add the ramp separately. If it causes any issue for the plugin store, you can always share it elsewhere

[thick mural]

Painting is not a big problem, I am worried about the texture space.

It's done.

omg a dream come true

[dark nymph]

Igreja da Candelária and Cathedral of Manaus are brazilian plugins based on the neocolonial churches inherited from Portugal's architecture. Many brazilian churches plugins are like this.

In the case of proper portuguese buildings, there are few plugins avaible. Erionit made the portuguese azulejos buildings, but they look more like an extension of the spanish plugin than one truly dedicated to Portugal.

I also aim to make portuguese plugins, one day.

Also, there is the "Brazilian colonial buildings" by Carlão da Massa. It is not what you wanted, but it may work as a filler.

I don't really like the "Lisboa pack" because it is broken.
