I'm just trying my best to make plugins over here
The code works, but I suck at detail
Ik distan but I'm making a joke cause they used a decimal point you sovicit
@rain gate
I just realized, because I used "." and "," as a decimal depending on conditions. lol
Rip
Wanted to know how to make flag plug-ins
Idk how to make shadows lmao
I tried my best by making the enterence side a darker white and the side pointing towards the camera bright white to project the sun shining on it
Try to learn how to make shadows
·-·
You know you can screenshot just by holding the Power and Volume down keys simultaneously.
Cus i can't see anything mate. Too dark
Wanted to know how to make flag plug-ins
The animated one?
You don't know how to make pixelated flag?
That is kinda easy mate
If u want u can find a 8bit flags just by googling
No like this one
Make a flag. Then move the pixel bit by bit
Or if you have an editor, select the specific part then move
What about the pole?
I dont have discord on my other phone@white snow
@rain gate what i mean is that is these pictures you've been takeb with is so dark that i cannot see anything. Also you can transfer pictures by Bluetooth you know and don't tell me you didn't know how
lol
I like how no ones though of just taking a free to use image off the internet then put it in their city, or people have and they just didn't say
Looks amazing. What is it called in the plugin store?
It's still in aprroval but the name is Solangon Clinic
Awesome, I can't wait to get it
New tram ready! (Left one)
Me building in Minecraft
Minecraft favela
(Also, nice building)
@modest blaze ill dm you the white flag
in one edition of my flag if you unzip the file it was to kill your game in seconds
These are just one type of rails
I also made some with asphalt, concrete and a road with rails
But yes they can
Okay Amma wait for that
yes
WTA, how to make a custom category compatible with plugins that have or do not have draft categories?
Doubt that I can understand your question
I mean, in json form "category":"id" needs id from "type":"category". When you don't have category draft, that's may cause error because the id is not found. How to fix that when i want to publish the plugin and the category.json separately?
Impossible, plugin dependencies are not supported.
So, my plugins with custom category must included with category draft? May i must put "override":"true" option to avoid id duplicate error from category draft?
are the shadows correct?
i used the darken tool in piskel and it gave me this result
¯_(ツ)_/¯
actually
ill manually do it
Pixel Studio?
tbh that is the right way to add shadow. piskel's darkening tool sucks but if u use it in the right subject u'll be alright
plus it doesn't have a control on how to add a shadde
@rain gate it's now approved you can get it now
Thanks)
Awesome!
does somebody know some plugins that ads some decoration for the military base ( for ex tanks troops etc ) ?
go to mdk813 in the forums.
Palmeiras Imperiais
Am I doing everything right?
I put folder with Json and png. into Theo town folder
?
Yes and then make a .zip file and put to the Plugins folder
Oh, thanks
WIP?
if your plugins isn't finished (including testing and checking for errors), don't encrypt or make it to a zip file. it's makes easier for you to fix it.
Same question
Scroll up and see.
yeah, but without converting to zip, you can still use the plugin. just convert to zip when you want to publish in the finished version
just a suggestion
Looks like you have the same plugon in a file within the same directory
Delete the file that is refered
That is plug 3.zip
I already know what plugin you can create, cloud on theotown and it would be cool I don't know if you guys will want it but cloud on theotown would be cool
Its a supermarket, based of one in new Zealand called Pak 'n' Save
I'm making the front windows rn
It has no side and rear windows
Its based of a real store
I'm making it as close as possible
With different changed to void copyright
so the road looks like that in real life too ?
Changed*
Changes*
The one near me, those two roads are one way and attach to a roundabout
do you have a photo from the real store ?
I forgot the street its on
If you search upon Google "Pak 'n' Save, Anzac Parade, Hamilton" you should see it
on the yellow side you can try to make those tiny black lines
Mmm....
to make it more realistic ( but idk if it'll look good )
wow looks much better with the blue windows
I would rather not make it worse but yea the windows make it look great
I know doesnt look perfect but just try to have the layout and test it out in the game and then try to make it more perfect
For the logo you can make the black box and try to aligne the letters
Yea im not that good lmao
Can you sir follow the straight line from the side to look more nice
The glass looks like it's gonna lean
It's ok lol
The crosswalk is on a lean so it isnt exactly like the irl building
I mean the glass borders
Makes the windows look like they're sticking out a small bit like the irl building
Lemme see the real store
Well you can just copy the glass borders straight to make it more great
Oh
Like this glass borders
Ok, brb
Follow A lines to make a white line (?) good view. Idk why you make that white line likes that.
if you want to make that line right at the door, then you have to move the path.
Is this his first plugin
Maybe
How's the building now?
Its good
Lemme see
Still can't do the writing
See the glass looks great
Yea
It isnt 8x8 though, sadly i forgot so Imma try different widths until it works
I started it yesterday so i forgot lol
I have a parallel space on my phone and that's what i use for my custom stuff in theotown, then it doesnt have to be in the main app
Yea
I use a serrated theotown
Seperate*
Try to put lines before you put the letters
Lemme transfer a new file
Oh
Like this
It's ok tho
Just like shading
Im not the best
Smooth to rough it's ok we all done that
Yea
Try make some colors like light yellow to darker yellow
Wrong light direction
Oh
Yesyes
I think Ik how to show it now

This shadowed right? I used the yellow line as a median
If i do that though, the shadow won't be as realistic though.... Right?
W
Well that's I do my shadowing
This is a shadow from in-games plugin (decoration), lobby or theotheoderich is made it.
This good?
Yay
Now the letters put some straight line to make them aligned
Ok
You need more detail to it
@lilac shuttle it's his first it's ok
Ik
But with new plugin rules
And we all give him good advice n he can improve on it
Also I'm trying to save him from plugin creator getting at him or having his plugin disapprove on plugin store
Ohh he want to put in plugin store?
I always choose developer preferences. but it's up to you too, want to make it straight shadows or 45 °.
Well he need to put more darker light shadows to that :/
@rain gate a little bit higher o f that line
???
Oh ok
Brb
Done
I deleted the line, im thinking of putting the black box around it
That good for a type of roof details?
It's ok you can copy my sample
The apostrophe put one pixel in it
You can copy it to yours the name one
I'm just showing you the letters aligned
Ok
Pm me here in discord we've just owned this chatbox lol
@rain gate Uhh...excuse @icy ginkgo For a bit coz his discord is broken
Oh ok
IT WORKS!
Guarapari Pack
Nice, I love your packs, I always use them
Same
And you build it too high@lilac shuttle
The floor
What I do is a do the outlines and use the tiles given as the floor
Kinda like that
And even though that has an overhangaking it uneven I like it cause then I can place truck spawners
And yea ik lmao
Nice, I love your packs, I always use them
@rain gate
Thanks
Yw
Same
@burnt bramble
Thanks :)
I would love to see some industrial buildings from your country
doesnt look so good
Its my first
*sighs
I always says this.
Details mate, details.
EVERYTHING MUST GO BY THE DETAILS
^
Montemarino : " So everyone, in order to improve plugins quality on plugin store, I will not approve plugins with wrong shades or shadows, cartoonish plugins, wrong sized or disproportionated plugins, or any kind of plugin which doesn't fit the game's style."
Try removing outlines and desaturating first.
I tried to warn him
np
well what did it show
@rain gate Your first plugin look like my first plugin too (Oh memories) but if you gather experience ur plugins can get better. I belive u can do it 😉
@rain gate Yeah but I'm not good either 😅
the people looks like they are outside the window about to fall
yeah, but you should know to take criticism to get better at making plugins
laks shadows
the windows don't look like windows
and the door is too big
@rain gate how many tiles is the plugin
working on a upgrade needed building for my research pack
this pack will actually add a researching system (ish) to your game to give your city advantages
high quality isn't really my main focus, of course ill put some effort
right its completed
Favelas
Good
pay some respect to monte
he has to rub his eyes off to check the amount of plugins
nice.
plugin's nice, but no additional decos at the floor of the building
I'm gonna put in some grass.
@rain gate here is a upgrade
Wow, it'll be dazzling at night.
1@jaunty hill not bad
Redoing my latest plugin. I just realized how big the real thing was.
For the reference
Almaizing
Big
b i g

This looks awesome!
I waiting for 30 minutes
Is cartoonish too
Bernardo
Me
@Bernardo Brandão i will ad it in future
What?
Just add shadow now
It will be better
Update plug-ins isn't so good
And you will get one bad feedback
Update plug-ins isn't so good
@old portal i disagree >:(
It is better to do it just once
I know because I have some old plug-ins that needs shadow (i updated some of them already)
I will remake this plugin in future. It will be 10"10 and have night animation
It is my first plugin
I never creating plugins before
I know because I have some old plug-ins that needs shadow (i updated some of them already)
@old portal
This is the point
Just my opinion
:)
This is the Nossa Senhora Aparecida's Basilica. Full done, soon in the game. By APBR Team 🇧🇷
looks very nice during the night
@oblique tundra cool

Another also that is a request I WON'T TAKE ANYMORE REQUEST
never make a request
Damn my birthday sucked, anyways, using a reference image, I managed to make it better
@sly ocean a request for what?
for a plugin
Guess what? Plugin under construction...
@lilac shuttle
Yes
@lilac shuttle yes i know
@rain gate. The word on your plugin is still off
CommanderAbab sent me a pic of a better made version of it so I set it up as a reference image so I can fix some problems, he didn't change the logo
So I figured the logo was good
There world texture with letters you can use
On forum
DM image he sent to you
Pls
·-·
He sent it to me and it's on my ne phone, it doesn't have discord and my dms are closed remember?
lmao.

Because of this old phone
Well happy birthday then
Thanks
Have a great day
U2
That's why I hate relationships smh
next is Details -> Water Reflection -> Shadows -> influences -> lastly modular capability
@sweet topaz What are you trying to make
A whole city @lilac shuttle
no, he is refearing to the person who he is pinging
also @sweet topaz , the sides and back of the building doesn't look ismoetric and the windows are very off
oof
?
the windows
what do you mean with windows
Where can I find the firetruck vehicle to use for a building?-
on forums
Oh aight, do i need to get permission from ja or Theo?
just credit them when you use them
Aight, thanks
Ok thanks
here's a template for @sweet topaz to work on, with the correct roof.
@pastel summit is that what i think it is? A city block?
shadow work
Sorry that this may be off topic, but what are these plugins called, and can you provide links to download them?
thanks
What template is this
@midnight obsidian yes
ok 🙂
2x4
yeah but choose 4x4.
What do you think this is?
Nope
restaurant?
A mansion?
@old portal hahaha whats wrong with that I'm not finished
So?
I just wan't help you
WTA. How to get day and night city times in fun condition?
This is from an old strategy game
I think that was the mansion of GTA:SA, lol
I know
I know what it is but i'd never tell
I even know what game it is tho I've never played but I played the other games from series
🙂 good luck guys. Hint "Strategy Game"
@sly ocean distian just asked a question, not a suggestion.
@white snow cossacks 3?
Wrong
dam
@sly ocean distian just asked a question, not a suggestion.
@midnight obsidian
Not mine. Other post and it was deleted.
WTA. How to get day and night city times in fun condition?
Btw, i'm still waiting for the answer.
Ok wow. I didn't understand the question
You know, "fun" attribute. That is function.
Day n' Night wasn't a fun attribute
All I know is that you have to have a night version of ur building or whatever it is.
But not the whole structure itself is in night mode just the specific parts like windows or lamps
Yeah i know, but i need to change "speed", not only the animation. What is there have "night speed"? Lol, like "winter speed".
Hmm, ok
Thanks
@sly ocean distian just asked a question, not a suggestion.
@midnight obsidian xdragon sayed to bernardo make a plugin for him
this is nightmare
yup. it's kinda clear that this is a nightmare for plugin creators.
i mean it would be easier to do with animations.
It would still be nightmare
are u trying to add perspective??
How do I get in the third store if they are plants in front of the entrance
@sweet topaz those lines arent straight. and you should do 1x1 buildings since they take less time to make and more easier to learn
the red marked pixels is how you make straight lines
and to make it look like a wall
use the 2 pixels at the bottom to measure your lines
then make the line go down diagonal
always put 4 pixels in the middle
then you got yourself a straight wall
☝☝☝☝☝☝☝
also one thing, don't really use line tools. they are really wonky
i prefer doing it finger by finger
so next time when you make something use the method what i showed you
its how i thought myself to make a straight wall with the templates
Ik
Great
does somebody know a plugin that adds a building with every supply you need so you don't have to worry about police parks sports or whatever ?
Dose anyone has dinner style like 40s or 30s style
I wish
the left windows are too bright
and the windows on the right should have lines like these
Costanera Center , Chile
Yeah doe
also lemme add somethin
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ADD PERSPECTIVE
WHY YOUR POST ALWAYS HAVE PERSPECTIVE!? You don't have to.
IS THIS HARD?
HUH?! IS. THIS. HARD?!
@white snow chill😂
this will make you nauseous.
but nevertheless, impressive work.
i would say a major breakthrough in graphics in TT.
@lucid garden what is you question?
@sweet topaz how can you mess up the windows so terribly.
I'm trying to tell him
Why start with a huge template @sweet topaz
it’s seems you haven’t saw my methods of making straight lines and walls
don’t bother make a skyscraper
I know people like those but it takes time and a lot of effort to make
he just ignores the suggestions
beuase we've told him a lot of time the prespectives, windows, etc...
it seems like he just wants diamonds
Farming
wait farm
@empty night darn, if only i had ideas for kamispa
i can't think of how should i draw it
We aren’t insulting them it’s just they never take our advice and do the same mistakes again
I start with a simple house just for experiment with plug-ins
"Kamispa, the favorite place of my back, and my wallet"
I'm bad so I do it anyway
@lucid garden what is you question?
@jaunty hill does somebody know a plugin that adds a building with every supply you need so you don't have to worry about police parks sports or whatever ?
oh yeah, there is one
it's the fill sandbox requierements made by me
you can find it in the forums
i've updated the plugin
so i recommend to update it
when you updated it?
like months ago
this is why details are IMPORTANT
Average floor size i use now is between 6 to 7 pixels or else i don't have enough size to put details
it's the fill sandbox requierements made by me
@empty night Can you modify the code to make it work on easy mode or can you let me change it in the code if I download it ( if I change the code I will not post it anywhere I'll just keep this part of the code for me ) ?
but thank you anyways for the answer 🙏
Where cube
and the culture influence is at 1 not 99999 like you did with the other ones
Yeah, it's intentional so when you place it it wouldn't lag
bc I tested this and only with 10k of range my game lags like hell
and the sandbox mode can I modify it ?
also it doesn't work
I took all the files out and put in the same file as the other plugins that I have and it doesn't appear in my buildings bar ( even tho I'm in sandbox )
Can you modify the code to make it work on easy mode or can you let me change it in the code if I download it ( if I change the code I will not post it anywhere I'll just keep this part of the code for me ) ?
@lucid garden tbh it just kills the intention of the plugin and also the fun on normal mode. But if you really want so, remove the following lines in the json files
"on built fun":[
{
"condition":{"type":"sandbox","invert":true},
"actions":[{"type":"remove"}]
}
]
Yeah I know thanks
but the plugin still doesn't work
idk how to unzip it bc I took all the files out moved to "managed plugin" and it doesn't work even tho all my other plugins are there and functional
didn't unzip just took the files out of the zipped file
You hve to put it in the plugins folder, not managed plugins that is for plugon store plugins
And you have to unzip the zip file
it doesn't work if I take this part of the code out don't know why
that's ok I solved the problem
Entrada de cidades podem ser asim
@empty night I managed to optimize your plugin so you can put culture ( even in the biggest map possible ) and my phone isn't powerful at all
and idk why but the education plugin just doesn't appear in the game
Education one appears in the education category
I stayed up all night.
@rain gate
I dont care about earning diamonds i'm doing plugin just for fun thats all
But at least you could you follow the tip we give you to improve them
We've give you like a ton
@empty night im improving them
I started improving the windows
I think you should start with small things
@oblique tundra well all this time i commited a lot of errors
1 Start with a skyscraper instead of a small building
2 Not using the 2-1
3 Making windows look like Spaghetti
Starting with small buildings, consequently you will have less errors
And then you can evolve
I will leave the Skyscraper Project for some time
And continue with some small buildings
U know it is ez to start from small to big. U are forcing yourself to the hardest way possible
It's ok to build 24x24😅
not sure if that is 1024x1024 pixel cus if it does it won't work. try to make it modular
How
cut them into 6x6 and 4 parts
NO what I mean is ur plugin need to cut into 6x6
🤦♀️
Yeah
lemme see ur plugin
But every parts need to rotate lol
ROTATION LATER THE MAIN PLUGIN FIRST
Oof
It dont need to be 24x24
I need
U CANNOT FORCE THINGS
Sometimes , people should check how other plugins works instead of messing up
rotation aware: true
4 frames every building
You don't need rotations for the plugins
Most of them don't have rotations
And making 4 frames for a 6x6 building will be hell
I think zone buildings don't need frame rotation
but I advise you to make it not a zone building. because it generates automatically. build it into an award or landmarks type.
You know, you can't reach 24x24, and if you separate them, the zone can't detect other parts of the building and build in the right position.
Education one appears in the education category
@empty night I know but it doesn't appear there when I take out the part of the code for sandbox
Can someone tell me how can I turn my red highway plugin into a 5 lane highway
Pls
N how to code it
Pls
sorry for the inconsistent arrow sizes, but i think it should be like this, @lilac shuttle
one arrow - 1 way
two arrows - 2 way
Nah
That is not small, that is bigger than small. lol
Bigger than ball , hall
1x1. to 8x8 yes
Y E S
i think you should do as The26 suggested
i think there are plugins in the forums with 3 lane roads
I have texture n frames everything
maybe you should check the code and see how they do it
and try doing a 5 lane road
also, ther is an option to make a screenshot without the UI for the olugin photos since it just makes it ugly
Lol
Road plugins are plugins that require more code than frames. and my road plugin project has reached more than 1000 lines of code. lol
Palácio Rio Branco
Road plugins are plugins that require more code than frames. and my road plugin project has reached more than 1000 lines of code. lol
i think you should really dive it in diferent jsons lol
because it includes animation, street deco, and direction manipulation. and also the code for the frame that I use is less than 64 frames and only changes the x and y values. yeah, the more features you want to add, the more complicated it is. 
Well I think ideas plugin shouldn't be hard to make
yes, not difficult but a little confusing. lol
Well I really want to make it tho
If I can only really understand the w/x/y I should be able to do it on my own
w : width, h : height, x : pixel from up to down (is same with height, but to set the coordinates), y : pixel from left to right (same as x, but it is width)
If you make single frames per png, you don't really need to set x and y. That just use when you put many frames in one png files.
This is my road plugins. This is can make 3-5 lanes with verge or street parking in one side or 4-6 lanes with verge or street parking in both side.
I would recommend 4-lane (8-lane?) road so it would be possible to build it all at once
if you want an odd number of lanes you would need an additional road for the center
?
This what I meant to make below
I know
Ok
Using my old plugin
Just going about it Idk what to do
Who here can help me with coding
Pls
@lilac shuttle road signs?
No
I want to make my own using my plugin
This
Who can help me
@white snow where is Timmy?
Hmmmn
But it is fuuny to think about
@white snow very good
Anybody here can help me with my ideas plugin pls

I was about to ask about that
So in both of these

???
What I need to do now
uh huh
How's the shadow?
Hmm need more dark?
Hmm more dark for that?
M a y b e (I think yes)
you should add some floorings
Yeah
Hmm pedestrian sidewalks?
ye
Yeah
Okay thank you
What is difference between "fun" and "on built fun"?
im pretty sure on built means when the building is placed
fun is a real powerful tool to create buildings that react to their environment or to user interaction
lua*
Wowowoww~~~ ~(^ㅅ^)~
@empty night yeah, i know. But what is the difference between "fun" only and "on build fun"?
im pretty sure on built means when the building is placed
But, i can't see the different. Fun is same functionally with on built when build something.
lua*
i always get the "attempt value nill" error when use lua. lol
nice.
nice but i think polytunnel greenhouses would fit better
