ok see you later ( or tomorrow for you ) have a nice day
@sinful meadow don't put "level" in []
So @left gale why are the stations limited to only 2 & 4?
You're using forum (lite) version
Yea
It's a free version, pstore version will published soon... It doesn't have limits
small plugin
7 road variants with 4 side variants but without road markings. This will be 56 road variants with 2 types of road markings or 84 variants with 3 road markings. lol
is there a guide about the influence range?
Influence range? 
"influence *":value
which app do you use to make a plugin
check pins
Oh
r u serious
π€¦ π€¦ββοΈ
ok
I think you're just too young
If you want to create your own plugins , please check :
- videos about it on YouTube
- Theotown official Forum
- Use Pixly , Novix , Piskel apps for graphics and a Json reader ( Quickedit for exemple )
there is pixel studio too
Well
@lucid garden
we're going to have some delays
I asked for an object at olx to help with the drawings but ...
He hasn't arrived yet
Lol
I have to make something that is not aggressive
@lucid garden
2-1-2-1 yes, but one problem, is it 2x2?@rain gate
Uuh
Yes
2x2@rain gate
Ok, did you build it on a tilemap? If not download them, check pinned messages section
Ok
after that remove the outlines
I think the problem is frames. If type of your plugin is rail (elevated railways), you need 32 frames. You can put 16 frames twice or you can use fence for another 16 frames.
Rail plugin is more complicated than road but less features.
Can i see your code?
After finishing my philippine Independence day plugins I'm going back making the an225 and other space stuff
also I am making that relates to "airforce"
hmm
Up up and away
Lol
whatβs the nighttime plugin name-
I canβt seem to find it.
Its in the dev tools. It's the moon in there
how to make the price into diamonds?
how to make the price into diamonds?
@white snow
"diamond price":##
set "price":## for compatibility with PC and iOS users
got it
Use lua if you want to set diamond price for non premium user. 
uhh wot
Umm Oh God!
uhh wot
I am good at detailing but not in coding
Question : will i get diamonds for using "diamond price : ##"?
how is it going?
too bright
I'm still testing
Nah you only earn diamonds via plugin store
To make it cost diamonds
Copan Update
So what is the point to make it?
I mean its a lose-lose for both plugins maker and players. The plugin makers get nothing from it while the players need to buy it with diamonds
Yeah, plugin makers, if you want folks to buy your plugin dont make it cost diamonds, you won't get more diamonds from it either
Nah you only get 10% of all earnings
I wish it have 10x 16x undustrial plugin, I like huge factories, the most bigger are the 7x and 8x
Its that possible?
i don't think so
and it will take too much plugin space
maybe do a modular building to save space
Yeah modular could be cool too
You can use quickedit for coding
I try it. thanks
Ohh
Oh looking good π
I wanna do a pre-order of it.
Well done , Ranger! :)
Caixas D'Γ‘gua (Water supply)
πππyes please
glow
The glow looks AWESOME π

Guys pls help what error is this?
Wait what is the different?
Wait wtf is the different?
hey @vocal coyote can ya test for me a plugin?
Yeah,sure.
hey @graceful cedar , can ya test for me a plugin?
How many pixels are in a single 1x1 tile?
Im curious because im thinking of doing road signs
32π
how do i synchronize type car and type building upgrades?
I mean upgrade in same time
Synchronize?
How many pixels are in a single 1x1 tile?
32x16 pixel. But, for height is can be higher.
hi I'm just here to say Is that tricycle?
@rain gateyes howπ
Yes, you can override all ingame id
i there a speed option of (random number).5?
70%
Nice, but needs shadow. :)
now I really want that to make my island perfectly right
Any more bus-related plugins being made?
Working-class american houses. I am planning to make more than 20 houses in these styles. This has the first version I made. Now I remasterized it.
And it will have night version too. π
i updated my some commercial buildings plugin
Are there any way to support road deco in slopes?
Nvm... I found another loophole
You have 2 ids and 2 types in a single object { }
[
{ //light animation object},
{//building object}
]
You must separate the light animation and your main building
Those the two are separate
can ya do it for me as an example?
Hold i have to open my laptop
k tks
Oh i already made one wow
at the top is the animation then at the bottom is the main thing
hello @lunar snow
is the ghpc one?
@white snow ye the ghpc one
tks
yay
New american houses...
yay
@pastel summit those modern houses are already in store?
Okay
Where is the link for the forum to get plugins?
I updated my first plug-in. (Also includes night animation)
I try to publish it but disapproved
are just publishing the image?
and the zip file for it
yeah, but with the image and the code in it
I send the Image and Json file
send the json
But I see some persons use it
who and which plugin?
probably the persons who used asked permission
@stray radish the problem is that the harbour and the park are copyrighted parts of the game, and you can't publish them as yours. Obviously you can't be rewarded with diamonds for that.
You only reuse TheoTown stuff and make nothing really original , i suspect you to make only plugins for the sake of money
So if i was a moderator i would disapprove this
Exactly, so please, read the plugin store rules before uploading a plugin
The sphinx, is just a joke... it doesn't fits ingame style as Spanishizer Beam said.
@stray radish You can use the in-game graphics as long as the whole plugin isn't entirely made of them
In my case, I could use the in-game graphics just as support graphics
Exemple: Can't make a vehicle on your own, use the in-game vehicles as a template
Can't put a good ground texture, use the ones from the game (or make the ground transparent)
And a good tip, always credit the original authors (Theo/Lobby if it's in-game graphics, or any other if you're using their content; If you do the latter, remember to ask the author if you can use it, as @sly ocean stated before
do the statue yourself instead of copying and pasting it in
and actually try drawing
you don't learn it from pasting stuff
even if you trace it
you can put the trees but not the statue
ππππππ
are you putting this on the store
Yesπππππππ
it will get disapproved 100%
that i straigh up stolen
Yes it rejected πππππ
how old are you
you don't sound so
No am really 31
you sound too childish for being a 32-yeard-old dude
Who cares the age? There is an age to use emojis?
Yes for me this age for that
Drawing it ??? It will take 5 years to finish it
it would only take few hours just to make that.
go on the forum
am take 4 days to make this statue
theres plenty of tutorials
or for stole this statue ππππ
oh no problems for a crime
if you share that plugin with the stolen image it will be taken down for legal reasons
and prob getting your account banned
you cant just ask to not be banned
that would be considered unfair to others
so please stick to uncopyrighted material
now actually draw the statue for once
isn't that hard dude
Yeah
and it won't take 9 years
I will chick it
don't start with a statue in my opinion its too difficult
really chick it
?
?
@empty night he means check
OK I will make Corona Virus it very small
no
Oh god, i swear i'm like talking to a toddler
just try to do a small 1x1 house
try this
yes
alright. ok you are on your own now so i won't be helping
why
Guys
my plugin went wrong
Something went wrong with him and the police influence doesn't work
So I deleted it and I'm going to update it and also check the plugin 2 more times to make sure it will work
Next time it is posted I promise to fix this bug
π
Something went wrong with him and the police influence doesn't work
@rain gate which one?
the department of
Sheriff
Oh ok I might download it soon xD
Yeah it's recommendable
I will not post it until I fix the bug
Allright
I was really needing a different police building on my town
Hehe
I'm doing a department of the national police of colombia
Good
But I think it will take a long time
I have a brazillian departament, its cool but I want one to a small village I pretend to do soon
It looks cool
Its yours the american pack?
Nope
Oh ok
I liked the style
I'm doing a 2x2 city
Well
I will go back to making residential houses
Ok gl
You didn't download the plugin, right
The sheriff station
Not yet
Good
I thinked it was the big police tower
I will ask a friend for help he will help me with the codes
Ok when it gets out I will get it xD
does anyone know how many pixels are around a tile?
32x16 px in 1x1 tile, I guess
thanks
Anyway, there's a tile templates available in forum
check the pins here
oh
@loud briar
https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=3207
ok so it should work then
good
"the number of tiles the building occupies" does that mean it can be up to 16x16 or does it mean it can be up to 4x4?
im just gonna assume its 4x4
min 1x1, max 8x8. If building bigger than 8x8, you can separate to less than 8x8 then use composition tag.
the biggest plugin size is 31x31, i think
that problably kill almost everyone's plugin space
Or use animations :)
there isn't ay isometry
you know u can make the signs, the door, and side just a straight vertical line
How make isometry
you know u can make the signs, the door, and side just a straight vertical line in any side
Isometry
Wow umm
I think it very ugly
did you use a template
Add more to the roof
the onces in pins
what template
5Γ5
too big
I want publish it
Why 2Γ2
because its just looks like one
and the door is wrong
How does it look?
Try looking at ingame buildings from the world texture.
What you mean ??!
Checl how are buildings drawn in the game
i would recommend on perfecting one building until it looks good
instead of making lot of baly drawn building
Three is very bad πππ
but
do you think that most of the plugin creators here have quality?
the reality is just quantity > quality
that is why I almost can't build the AN 255
making the details to my plugins is my number one top most priority bcoz the I don't want a structure to stand out than the rest
that is also why I have quote " Everything must go by the details"
it is pointless to make a mass produce product if it never accepted but with a touch of hard work the thing would be accepted
flag set is so png spam lol
@stray radish door is twisted
jolly why you left rp btw
Bad ππππππππ
That the truth
I hate this game
Look how other plugins are made
do doors like these
You want some definition
and details
What the program I can use I used I pies
ibies
Ibies
Ibies...
IbisPaintX?
Tell me just pls tell me u can make a straight vertical line??
Someone here knows the name of a jap plugin of a 3x3 building?
Is that the one I posted?
Idk I saw it on tricks and tips post
If I'm not in mistake the name is osaka
Idk if its that name
yes ibis paint
@stray radish Ibis Paint isnt the exaclty app for it
Use Pixly or Pixel Studio
Both in mobile
I am not sure about the usage of IbisPaint but from what I saw it is good for other type of media but not pixel art.
Go use the pixel apk that provided immediately. They are the ones that good for mobile users like u
It'll probably be refused
ππππππ¦ππππ¦π¦π
My eyes be gone in make it
Thats first time make market
CandelΓ‘ria Church
Mercury drugs quiapo coming soon......
Nyays!!!
Haha yes!!!
Hmm... Manila Tranvia?
yeee
yeee
@fierce haven I want these houses please please
Isometrics
Thats not isometrics
it is
pretty sure it will be disapproved
practise small residentials first
also the pasted billboards look terrible
sure, good luck 
Thnks
Don't waste your time published plugin you know it gonna get disapprove
Better
See that
the roofs lack details
like
really lacked details
what are you even making though
Also bsd
what the hell is it
bruh
then what the hell are you making
if you can't even name it
is it a supermarket?
a warehouse?
Warehouse
it doesn't look like a thing
Mall
because it looks like, well i just don't know what is that
Nice buddy, now try to make more details on it π€
uh
You can say warehouse mall
ππππ
start small, as what other plugin makers would always say
Yays...
I can't see small things
I also started in 1x1 tile building
@left gale not because it's good enough, because it's horrifying enough to put details on it
Really I can't see
bruh
Can you send me image for any thing to make it but small details
yes 2Γ1
What that???
no 2x1, 4x2, or 6x4
Hut
yes
it is a hut
then you can progress further
then further
eventually you'll get the hang of it
Woah... You guys are using desktop for textures??? Awesome!
desktop? it's the best way to do it
Computer
I don't have disk top
phone's fine
but seriously
download pixly and zoom in
like, zoom in
so you can do small details
I only use my phone and a little Pixly
Aha you want more details
OK OK
yeah like that
and it isn't some stuff you can master in 30 minutes
it took me 3 years to get the thing correct
3 years
Try to master lua π
my warehouse mall πππ
Lol
seriously if you publish that thing you'll be laughed and joked by tons people
why so many emojis
I like emoji

?
Any image to make like it
try making a small house
I will try
ok
Once you get the very basics of pixelart you can check out my intermediate graphic tutorial on residentials: https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=10287 π
seems like this kid learnt some lessons eh
unfortunately for him I cannot give some advise even though I'm a detail artist cus' I tend to get angry at times
the only advise I can give is "Everything must go by the detail"
you did that?
that not bad
it's just stange you going from this
to that
in only 2 hours
even bernardo can't do things like these in 2 hours
This is familiar
Also this is suspicious
what?
I want publish other edition
It kinda suspicious doe
I publish aquarium in pink and blue
Mate if this is from another creator dis is a No no mate
now I want in yellow
OK
my friened this plugin for me in the store

I think he's saying he got it from bevise's plugin and colored it yellow
no no
Yee

ππππ
It is really strange
so why you are having problems doing this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/640521940519485441/723917922141077514/62_20200620171110.png

If u are koko ahmed then why u have some trouble making the other plugin
My PC broken
If this is some sort of surprise it didn't work on me mate

I will try
Well if he's having trouble on android it makes sense. Android programs are much harder to work with.
yes
and probably not used to the smaller screen
my eyes gone
Well if he's having trouble on android it makes sense. Android programs are much harder to work with.
@echo heron u got point mate
i am kinda suspicious on his color schemes
Approved or what
Yeah I'm not buying it
just update the old plugin adding this new version
Ok
can someone link me the plugin maker app?
Its on Google Play
I cant find it so link it bruh
so unhelpful
thats the clown call
@white snow
Link it
It works for me
Are u on mobile
Hmmm "Item not found"?
Ok try this go on google chrome or other web browser
Search it there
just give an apk
Download the one on APK pure
ok
That shpuld work
I will try it later
If u cannot find an app always go on APK pure
They always have something that might not available to u
Warning: if you own the plugin "APBR Residential Pack" be aware that the Json file was remade and consequently buildings 'ids'. Because of that you will have to put all buildings again in your city (if you was using it) after updating
Abra Cadbra
The most thing I can do with android
Big market for vegetables
Some details I will add it
@stray radish Now that's what I would call a plugin
A bit of details, some shadings and will be good
Nice job
ye, needs shadows on the right
OK some shadows only
@stray radish 1-Still needs shadings
2-You don't need to post each modification you do
Try straight once, post, feedback, repeat
Ok
All american houses created by me until the moment.
Amazing
use .png images
quick question, can I apply animations to road bridge pillars?
quick question, can I apply animations to road bridge pillars?
@orchid sorrel
I think yes. You can use Lua or make pillar frames to be what you want.
what?
I actually wanted to add a night light lol
so pillars that can light up like irl
both yes and no, that's all I can say
They always here
I actually wanted to add a night light lol
@orchid sorrel
"animation":[{"id":"$lightid","y":10}]
Animation will go down when you give right value for y, maybe it will be on underground and unseen in level 1. But that is not only in pillar, all of bridges will have that animation.
idk to detect the pillar.
not exactly how this works
lol
How add this shadow in android???
darker colors...
one very easy way to make shadow is to use black then lower the opacity like to 30% or 20%
Maybe add more to the roof maybe
what are these files
can please convert them into .png
I send image
Gotta be a .png image
If you using pixly hit this
I work in novix
Oh I don't use that
still lacks the shadow
Yes
It a png now
I dark the right side
