Stockment
do you think I know?
no I don't know lol
Maybe I should test it later
Wait
So I have to use 32x16
Aww man
or not
gotta check lol
Ok yes I have
Gonna delete everything and do from scratch
Or do I
damnit
I can't figure out how I should make my stuff
Decorations do shift when using 32x32
Buildings do not

I'm so done with this
btw PCA doesn't work on Firefox either
bruh
looks like I'm not making plugins anymore
lol
guees it's gone forever
Wait.
something is wrong
so
I have 2 32x32 textures
One is barbed wires, other is just a isometric cube to test graphics
one is sliding to the top other is not
wat
Both are 32x32 though
what is this magic?
@pine timber try now
"condition":{"type":"condition name",...},
Should i replace condition name?
i think yes
@livid agate is there like a condition for each type of disaster?
Like flood, fire, tornado, Earthquake
oof
Privileged means you can use stuff like monthly income.
You basically enter a key to use it but it's only given out to a certain amount of people.
Not sure why he added it as most people who have privileged rights know how to write JSON
It will probably just confuse people
@sacred hinge I plan to use it myself to quick write the code
@snow ore Holy damn
Aww man I also wanted to add small monthly income to my containers. :(
ig
but that's why we have plugin approval n stuff yea?
Isn't it like if you know the JSON you can still make it?
Plugin distribution is not only done with PS.
ik
You need to be a privileged and qualified plugin creator to recieve the keycode.
so I guess you can't just slap in the monthly income code and it'll work
Nope
No
probably needs some custom auth key
Try it out though ;)
no, I don't want the poccle to explode my cities
Poccole = bad
:o
No
you insulted the almighty pickle
6
Not until April 1st
smh
oh no
@pine timber
I AM ALIVE

Do you mean cucumber?

Don't mind me, just looking at the chat above.
"draw ground"
that's not how json or tt works
then how?
what do you even want to achieve?
Does pcw download the json for you, or do you need to copy it from the website?
@orchid sorrel I make a smaller apartment
and?
yes
show whole json in dm
ok wait
pls paste
@sick rune smack that download JSON button
btw
You know you could just make them 2 separate JSONs
Yes, but combining them makes it cleaner and easier to edit them.
Having a separate json for every building is normally not the best idea
Especially if there's an error from a certain ID, and you need to search for said ID in one of your jsons
Never mind, Kulche help me
Is there any way to disable building placement on hills?
I never play with hills
I just don't like how the pipes and other stuff looks on them
aaa why doesn't my notification action work
Show me
Can someone help me with the problem of shifting textures
It never occurred earlier when I made 32x32 houses. strange.
I'm sure it has something to do with 32x16
But I don't know what
Enable draw ground
nvm it works back again
No no, not about draw ground. I'm about the textures shifting top right
It's probably related to that isn't it
If yes... well damn.
didnt mean the size but ok
it's height that should be 16, right?
show frame defs
wdym
i still don't get it
eh, i have other things to do
the JSON is right, I've rechecked it
why am I even asking here when I can experiment though
you dont have to define width and height in frame array
it's not in JSON, it's in the png
the PNG is 32x32
If you mean something else, I don't understand what you need
JSON frame definition, please.
I'm just going to give you the JSON
cause I genuinely don't know what the frame definition is
sooo
yeah? 32x32, the texture is glitching out of the tile. If anyone can help in solving this, ping me please.
I tried to go with the TT tile size (32x16) but it didn't work out well.
Can you call a script in lua when an emergency vehicle reaches the targeted building?
so no for helis?
as you can't customise their behaviour
||when will the burning trees be a thing?||
don't you have alpha?
i dont plae andorid
they are already burning
though good luck eqxtinguishing em without fire department with helis
they dont burn on pc
because pc has no alpha versions
Omg ja
that's it 
How could you add forest fires, that's insanely hard to extinguish!
doesn't steam support betas?
hmmm
so we scratched the idea
rippe
what png size @static sail


small
big
no
the PNG is shifting
what is in your code
show me your png files
ok
thats why
Aw man
But does that mean that I can just put a 2 pixel line with the smallest transparency (but not zero) at the bottom and it'll work? Or I'm getting something wrong again?
I think I can make plugins on Drawpile
Yeah.. I guess I'll have to go with overlaying.
@static sail missing shadow
behind the box at the top
@grand crater is this correct?
Those shadows look a bit too tall
Oh
You also added shadows near the left edge that shouldn't be there
ok
Is this correct?
@grand crater
Kent, I don't want to waste my time right now
ight
I guess this is correct
yes just remove the top part
you mean remove this?
yes yes
more more
yes 3 lines more
like this?
ok
Like that?
yes
Perfect ๐ ๐ ๐
perfect
SMEXY
im making a smol house pack
Welp, time to upload my stockholm apartments to plugin store
experimented with shapes a bit
now, let's waiting
Yes
Ok
@static sail I think you're overpricing the stockholm residential thing
wdym?
Vote on it
You want me to lower it?
Have the community decide for a price 10-30
E
?
I just don't think there is enough detail in it for it to be 35
So, I should put it 30?
How can I make plugins that pass more than 2 height :( hahaha
wdym?
My best plugin now
what buildings?
the first building
i couldn't nail the roof on that one so I just let it be lol
this one is a residential
to be honest i need help with my plugin but im not sure if it would help...
@pine timber the house is good but would probably come with some errors
such as?
I can see a small error here though
it looks that the right side is a bit higher
it's not correctly in a 1x1 tile
also other stuff like no shadows for the person
and dont forget to use
Ik it's a bit off from a 1x1 tile
"draw ground":true,
oh yes
Any suggestions for disasters/events are welcome.
by which you mean?
like sinkholes etc
ahh alright
boom

hurricane?
what do you think of this
And yes I know it's not perfectly aligned on a 2x2
I'll fix that
cuz soldiers
They're not exactly black, it's just the resolution
This is something like a quarantine building, providing good health coverage and some police coverage
ahh i see
@sacred hinge don't make me release my dark side... when i heard black people i thought he did a prison
okay
obelisk?
Obviously
o.k.
I'll work in the shadows
you could try adding some texture
Looks plain
yea
Idk seems too plain
agree
I think it's not an easy task to make an obelisk look not plain tbh
Add some darker and whiter spots on the obelisk
How to add animations into my building? I already seperated the building into 3 pieces and what should I do with my code?
I really want to try them and save plugin space
define animations first
Yes
the shape looks bit off
๐ฆ where is my content_energy ๐ฆ
dont tell me you have access to sauce
juice?
source code
animations like rock fort used
im in...
Damn, wtf is here
@sacred hinge bologna?
Hey @livid agate is it normal, if a plugin plays a siren if a disaster occurs it keeps restarting the sound?
nah the sauce
yeah, that's bolognese, isn't it?
nah the Theotown sauce
@grand crater check plugin's coding
ima send it here
"frames":[{"bmp":"TornadoSiren2.png"}],"fun":[{"actions":[{"id":"$Thunderbolt_1003",
"type":"play"}],
"condition":{"type":"disaster"}}],
"height"1,
"id":"$TornadoSiren00",
"influence management":100,"type":"public",
"width":1},{"file":"Thunderbolt1003-64.mp3",
"id":"$Thunderbolt_1003",
"type":"sound",
"volume":70}]```
@livid agate
**credits to Mg, to use his plugin/json so I can edit it
play's every day disaster is active
but it's like bugging
wait
Does each "building" of that plugin play invidually or do they all play a sound @livid agate
the problem here is the siren should go:
Weeeeeeeoooooooohhhhhh
but instead it does this:
We- We- We-
they all do
Ok so I'm planning to make cars for the pack
And a police department
Cars will be only decos tho
no clie
?
How's it looking so far?
Nice
@sacred hinge
What?
Lol
can you check if theotown dsa has tree cutter
do it again
Y u have a chess?
Yes
YES
YEEEESSSS
DSA has received an update
Nice
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
XD
now can you make less destructive zone colour?
Fuccoff @thorny torrent
Ok
๐
V10.0:
- Tweak readiness requirement.
- Remove music files completely
- Add new textures for spaceport
- Add few light definitions by Kulche
- Add 2 seperate versions of clock stores
- Add Pidroid as debug features for now
- Add Tree cutter into DSA
changelog
Tree cutter ftw
it has path finding :)
Wat auto-trcutter?
yes
๐
it pathfinds to tree, cuts it and gives cash
Ahh makes environmetal damage on the go
Will it cause a disaster like the drills?
no
yes
Updated the dsa and a quarter of my city doesn't have water now 
And also since when did these buildings produce pollution
@livid agate ?
check piping
Nope everything was connected and built another pumping station that fixed that
- What are these tiny posts on corners?
- Shadows pls
and that's not how templates work
Can someone help with the shadow idk how to do it on a wall
Make it a tiiny bit darker
The wall?
Yeah but in what shape tho
try drawing a line from the wall/shadow meeting point to the edge of the smaller box
๐ฆ
Also it looks like lobby doesn't know either
i was recommended by commanderABAB that 34% or 27% opacity for shadows is good
I use 40%
25% with blur is what I use.
I'm lowering the template's transparency on layer 2, do my stuff on layer 1, delete layer 2, profit
for your walls, try using a more desaturated, brown/orange-ish color to better match the color of the bricks
or you can use the color picker
Ye
The scale is also weird
I mean uhh
Hello
There's nothing like an error except the colours but just looking at it just makes me kinda want to hide in the corner
With?
The background no
Is a example, obviously the background is transparent
The background is pain 4 my eyes
Hmmmm
Is it a plugin?
Show the add-ons section
Yes, is a plug-in
You have a tools section, what do you categorize as tools?
In the game
I doesn't know it's name
Wait
Ok
Hey, press the buildings to know their name
@gloomy palm do you know how to remove plugins?
I doesn't know the name of this plugin
Commercial and residential too
Ok
Two types of building
Let me look deeper into it
See
From forums
Go to my files>internal storage>theotown>plugins>sample and select what plugin do you want to delete. To see what is that plugin, go just in that folder.
Np
Imma
uhh
work!
yeah sounds good
Time for a big building!
let's go with 3x3 high tower
Noice
Okay so I think with this shape it will probably be time-consuming to add all the decos on the roofs.
Nice
thanks
I saw yesterday
do you know what happened?
alright so
I've filled this side and oh god it's so time consuming
Even with copy pasting
I'll fill the next floor the same and the last 2 will be a bit different
How does one make a plugin?
Check #information @mortal patio
Also change nickname lol
Thats not my nickname thats my actual username
Que
Also the info seems to only say how to install plugins not make them
Also question man, cool status ((((lol is is way to much longness
You make the Frames With Pixly Novix on Phone and Paint.net for Computer
And Coding You make With Json Genie on phone and On Computer Notepad
Wait.... where is the 32 in my name :(
What if you have literally no clue how to code
use the pcw.theotown.com
it will compile some basic code
but you're not really going further than that unless you know JSON syntax and the documentation
other than that it's a cake walk
I'm using notepad for my coding
Oof
I think I will add some detail to the top floors
The first roof with fences looks ok because fences kinda add some detail to it
Ok
so I asked people to rate it on a scale of 0/10 and I got no numbers yet, sad
@pine timber maybe some pools or something like that
Thx
Pools
Wut
It's a national guard like organisation
think of it as some paramilitary stuff
Pools for military personnel
oh yes, quality
Can anybody tell me the attribute that forces the player to build building N before constructing building D?
ASAP
nvm I think I found that
So uhh
Is it supposed to be like
๐
"condition": {"building": "$id13371377"}
and how can I use that to make building D constructable
so in my head it looks like
"if condition "building" = true, then "max count" = -1"
i am sure there is something like "requires": "$id13371337" but I can't find it
Does anyone know how to do that?
@orchid sorrel I hope you won't be angry for the ping but you're probably the only person that can help me with that
with?
Setting up an attribute to make a requirement for buildings
To be exact, I need so that if the HQ is not constructed I can't build the outpost and the hospital.
Building requirements?
perhaps
They sound promising but looks like I need to dig in the comments
Nope, all I saw was lobby and ja discussing the possibilities of a research system.
Do you have an example code or something like that for it?
lemme look
An example of what I want is military HQ
you didn't dig deep enough
Ty
np
So, if I stick that code into my buildings I won't be able to build them unless the requirement is fulfilled
Just what I wanted
Btw what do you think about this
outlines?
also wdym by noise
The plain roofs?
I've added some stuff to them though
it's the resolution blur
Now shadows...
boiling sounds
@pine timber man can I ask you tht you add on Dubai burj kalifa building
Too big
This is my third pluglin xD
@rain gate make shadows bro
I'm finishing the NW Pack today
@rain gate actualizado
@supple stream al fin xD
roof looks weird
try making black just very dark gray so it doesn't look so outstanding
Wait, width and height should be equal?
Wuuuut?
How am I supposed to make a high building then?
aw man
hmm
how are the skyscrapers in the game then?
damnit
im not going to redraw the textures
Should I make a Modulable Cemetery Pack?
You missed the Spooktober
Idc lol
@pine timber It looks very sparkly
is that a pro or a con
Prop a con :P
@supple stream did your plugin get approved yet
Yes
aaa
cause the ground shadow doesn't want to render at all so I can just purge it lol
hurts
lmao
w h a t
do you want to say that Pixly's isometric cubes are wrong?
i did make sure that everything aligns right... except the ground
I can't really fix that and probably wont because it's just 1 pixel difference
They're isometric they just don't look that good
shadows on the ground are not isometric.
well, that's my first attempt at a large building
ah
the shadows
Well
Thing is they also don't like to exist
lemme show
Yeah because you set the building to be 3x3 and the shadows are out of the "zone" I guess
Theeeeeen how do I change that without making the building 4x4?
look on shadows in forum
apparently not enough
Yeah
shadows don't stick out of the template
i can say I probably stretched them out too much
Yeah
My building takes almost all of the tile though
Or you could just make the building 4x4
no
๐ฎ
add the shadow to the edge of the template
The glass
Like, to make it look better without complete redrawing
not making a blocky one
yeah ik
It's just one color
more depth and noise
false, it's 2 colours!
that's ir
you know I'm just gonna send in a high Res image so it's going to be visible
noise so it doesn't look like plastic
Yeah!
and remove the outlines
Well, there is some noise but I guess it's going to be too blurred
so I need moar
what outlines
all
ok
The noise is so hard to see that I'd say add more noise๐ค
The to do list: fences
noise (I call it sand effect)
Remove outlines
Yeah that's for tomorrow. it's like almost night here
fix and blur out the shadows as well
I don't think my editor supports blur
then do it yourself
I think it does
what you use
Pixel studio
The windows need texture
Not just noise
I use Pixly only for isometrics because the interface is not that good imo
like trying to navigate all the stuff
Your doing the night animations for all the theotown buildings or just your own buildings? @orchid sorrel
all
?
madlad
Oh
he has to be stopped
Absolute madlad
What pack?
The NW pack
nw?
windows look bit oversized
Okay then, the Modulable Cemetery isn't going great because I suck at making frames lol
Wait
I think Rockfort already make chinatown @rain gate
smh jwr [psycho]
im trying to help you
thats a big yikes from you
if you still ignore me and trying to find by yourself
ok then
go on
๐คจ
@rain gate he's just tryna help, no need to be this ungrateful, sorry if I find harsh, but he's just tryna be nice
Colonial Pack is already out on Plugin Store! Check for it, and download, of course if you want
Its pixly
oh
I think there's a mistake with the military area.
The defense weapon against aliens is not working and the rocket tests are miscalibrated.
Who is responsible for giving people permission to post plugins?
You can post it in the forum, but the same in the store but you must develop it more (colors, shadows, size and dimensions)
oh
well, I want the store loo
lol*
It's both giving me diamonds and making it easier to download and install
Is the Zeppelinfield, but a family friendly version
@rain gate I'm interested in the Chinatown pack, I would make it myself but I just haven't had a lot of time and also I'm not really that great at making plugins
@rain gate wait, is this naz1 building?
No, not even close
It's where the parade stops to greet the dictator ๐ค
Or president, mayor or general
Whatever
V2
๐คจ you sure?
I relied on the one above, the one below is too much xD
ok
@rain gate how do you make that? I had an idea of making a huge grand palace of a fictional religion/nation of mine
Also nice work on the building, I will definitely download it to use xD
I don't its a good idea to publish this plugin on plugin store
No is a naz1 building bro
Uh wifi is broken oof
Yes
The forum down
xd
Lobby was arrested by the Soviet KGB
Destroy everything
Yeah, it needs to be even, and that will make the platform higher.
@oblique tundra Oof
@rain gate Now I pass the link xD
Oof
I work on an oil platform, but I will change the colors
There is already one
me too
Is it up?
An error with the size made it move xD
Yes I'll rise it, I do not know why you reject the plugins to the store, they are mostly lovely those of idd, except for those who come from discord
Enjoy :O
@rain gate
and the other
What bro?
nvm
Other?
I probably will make a modular platform base lol
What's that?
That's from in Mexico?
Yes, is the Monument to Revolution
Originally it was going to be the palace of the legislators (congress) but the Mexican Revolution broke out, Porfirio Dรญaz, the leader of the nation already elected for 4 to 5 times (30 years) had sent to build many buildings of this caliber, The Angel of Independence , the Palace of Fine Arts, etc., but this was one of the best, it was not completed by the same civil war to overthrow it, its government and all its protests fell silent, it brought research and investment, railroads, roads and industries to Mexico, its vision was to make Mexico a first world country because of its location in North America and be on par with the great powers of that time, dies and everything falls apart, it is believed today that the Revolution was the best of all to free the noble people, but basically it was a failure.
And we ended being a third world nation
mexico is a lot better than a bunch of other third world countries
๐
good idea
An idea for skyscrapers
It would be cool if someone could help me make the one on the right
As well as this
๐
The large area at the bottom can be made into a modular thing I guess
Oh yes
I would do it but I'm bad at drawing tall skyscrapers
Where's the expert skyscraper designer @montemarino ???
dANGIT
hUh?
it wont let me tag hiiiim
Oh, may i then
Ok go ahead
@ancient siren, scythal needs your help with a skyscraper
oh ok
which?
Scroll up a bit
If you create a plugin how are you supposed to get a screenshot of it placed in game before it is uploaded
Because thats what it tells me I need to do
Take a screenshot of it placed ingame?
How would I get it ingame in the first place
Are the graphics and json in the correct folder?
Explain further all I have done is make them
also it says I cant upload plugins with no further explanation given thats got me really confused
I don't speak broken English.
You might want to be registered on forum for some time and have a few posts made.
I dont even know how to make posts im extremely new to this
What part in posting don't you understand?
I just created my account like 5 minutes ago so I understand nothing pretty much
So post some things for now, the Official Chatbox or other posts may be OK. Just don't bump older ones.
dang
