@orchid sorrel wait how?
just because it doesn't have a strict noise function doesn't mean you can't apply it
also don't ping
Ok can you tutor me pls?
use the spray thingy with transparent black
select the part you want to apply noise to, tweak spray settings and spray with transparent black
Where is the spray thing?
Wait i can search in pixly?
coming soon
np
Wait how will i delete the "noise" in the background? @orchid sorrel
I spray it over the building
select the part..
@lunar snow I don't use Novix, but yes, it's on phone
request
Japanese emergency vehicle
kulche just update the rules
any people requesting stuff would just request it on another channel
hello there. if you are new here then you might not aware of the requests (and/or suggestions) for plugins. Requests and/or suggestions for plugins are not allowed anymore.
@proud mist
I see why this happen.

But, why you need Drawing.reset() when you set color or opacity again? 
You need to call it every time you finish anything drawing related
Since 1.9.06 game will automatically call it
still
For dependancy reasons, you should use
kulche just update the rules
what?
I didn't do anything
Plugin requests are completely ok, plugin creators just don't take them
Plugin creators really, really don't like plugin requests
i made my bus station into an actual plugin now
You don't want TheoTown to take up a ton of space in your phone
Y not like a minecraft
that's a hardware limitation
We developed an own graphics engine that uses OpenGL directly, so we can do whatever the hardware can do
Minecraft uses a feature called z-Buffer
by that they can draw everything of a specific texture at the same time
however, that destroys things that require alpha channel
because of that the water in minecraft can be buggy
In TheoTown it would mean no semi transparent pixels to prevent graphic issues
also we would have to use z values for rendering
for buildings that's not an issue, but for car since they have different "depth" at different points
a bus station maybe?
can someone tell me, why there's no pedestrian walking on the pedestrian concrete, from the pedestrian remastered(?).
@echo quartz heyy im also building a bus station
@surreal orbit yeah i see
not so much of a futuristic. I've seen some designs like this. most prominent user of that kind of design is European countries.
ah
so technically modern
i mean im literally just used to a supermarket shaped bus station
or practically modern idk
i don't know about modernisme
yeah, why not
if it is good I'll take it
@livid agate haven't uploaded plugins into forums a long time ago, is this right?
@midnight obsidian should be tm
can someone link me night animation tutorial in forum
Do not worry, that plugin contains a plugin.manifest file so you can use them in your online cities ๐
Noice
@sinful meadow try seperating em in pieces
So are the bus station plugins going to have a set route like the Theotown standard bus station?
Or are they just going to spawn buses randomly with no route settings?
The bus tycoon thingh is prob hardcoded so it's not possible to add it for a pkugin
Might work on a new tree or some house / restaurants idk yet
want to know what the house can do
Please help me. unfortunately I can't find your building in the plugin store. Unfortunately, you won't find this little house plugin in the forum either. What happened
It might have a minimal version requirement and you have not updated your game.
I just updated it now
latest is 907
Damn, not that many people are uploading their plugins to the forums as they did
I'm prolly gonna make a forum exclusive plugin containing water locks
As damn do I need some of those locks
my two buildings are on the forums
ok
@storm raft what do u mean
how do you upload a plugin
on the forums
how long does it take for your plugin to get approved
It depends
ah
I think most of the store mods are European so
ok
Nice manor Thobby :)
@sharp dawn will you ever get back to creating plugins? i really loved them
lol
i see its already on store
outlines no
Need more detail and the cubic pillars looks very weird
Agreed
what happened to this plugin?
I can't find it
Author got banned
Yeah, because he sent me the stuff when i haven't got the latest version of TT yet. 
3000 
Hardco r de
it's easy
I see like json and lua combined
there's no lua there
PHP and mySQL produce json result which gets parsed by python script
Btw, what the different Theotown.playSound and City.playSound?
City.playSound plays sound at the specified x, y coords
TheoTown.playSound plays it globally
Then sound is play automatically with City.playSound?
It's dynamic range is what I mean
When you call it, it plays the sound track until it ends
There is a limit on duration?
so i can only hear 5 seconds of meme song. lol
Phone?
Yeah
Yeah, it's limitation for those
Probably limited by some sort of memory bottleneck
that's a tradeoff to be able to play them instantly
is it possible if the sound is seperated and then combined into a playlist in the script?
maybe I'll try it later
๐
๐
Looks very modern
Btw it based in france
Mmmmmhh
my plugin has no literal likes lol
Oh great
I only done modern buildings from Rouen ๐ซ
The only thing i done in Nanterre was the Aillard towers ( Cloud towers ) , but i only made one livery , i should make the other color versions one day
Is the 8x8 tile too big for the bus terminal size?
@echo quartz 8 X 8 is fine for the main terminal. However since it's that large I would also recommend adding articulated buses.
@echo heron yes I have thought about that, that's part of my plan
what do you think?
very nice
Nice
ye
niceee
Thx
great detail
Is a ficticial building
fictional?
I will continue
kk
colors ok?
yess
yes I know, because I only set the location first, for details and other decorations I will add when finishing
@sweet topaz to be honest the building has too bright colors
Too Bright Colors?
The one that is in the bottom is the brightest white
@echo quartz
The one above is the white i use
Look the difference @echo quartz
Beetween my first try and the one im working on
Well
@lunar snow what do you think
Ya need to change the color and detail the window
this was my first plugin
and it sucks
everyone makes sucky plugins at first
Yes
and for some reason I already earned almost 100 gems from it
goood
Good
That one is good ( expext that black window)
That one is good ( expext that black window)
@lunar snow
Actually that building is from my real life city
It has black windows
@sweet topaz windows colors is not matching
From where
Where do you guys make your png?
i use pixel studio
Pixel studio?
Yes
Android?
Pixel Studio is very hard to get used to
for me atleast
Is it for Android?
Yes
draw
anyone here use AutoCAD for creating a plugin?
You can paste trees @lunar snow
i used the plugin creator
yes auto cad that a arsitecture app
anyone here use AutoCAD for creating a plugin?
@echo quartz I was, but it's kind of difficult for me
@hazy rain yah me too
I dont take theotown plugin that serious so..
@lunar snow Yeah, me neither, but I was looking for some pc editor
@lunar snow yah because its just a game
caps
i like piskel if it for pc
THE BEST THING EVER
@lunar snow I will try it :D
:D
Opinions
the one with the cable thing
6/10
I think is good but it needs more shadows
9/11
As i said, the windoe need to be detail more
first I saw the creator app plugin by Justanyone in PlayStore, but now it disappears, does anyone know?
And the ground is kinda empty
The windows looks like the tiles in the bottom of the pool
first I saw the creator app plugin by Justanyone in PlayStore, but now it disappears, does anyone know?
@livid agate
@echo quartz is bus station done
And the ground is kinda empty
@lunar snow
Im not leting the ground empty
I want to know OPINIONS from MAIN BUILDINGS
good
aw
@lunar snow
Im not leting the ground empty
I want to know OPINIONS from MAIN BUILDINGS
@sweet topaz THEN EVERYTHING IS GOOD EXPECT THE WINDOW
Ye
caps bruh
Bruh
xd
@sweet topaz try change white color with some diffrent
@echo quartz
I almost always use white cuz it makes buildings look MODERN
@sweet topaz THEN EVERYTHING IS GOOD EXPECT THE WINDOW
@lunar snow
Hmm what needs windows
Detail the window
Hmm i understand
Make skyscrapers with full of window is kinda hard
Maybe if you use more blue shades
Maybe
@sweet topaz I have a tip in making the windows that consists in searching a random png of clouds, then edit darkening to 30%, and then paste it in the windows ๐
Hmm good idea
As i always say when i see someone plugin




@sweet topaz can you pass me the png image of the clouds? It must be of the same resolution of the building
Resolution?
I mean, you have to resize canvas if it is big.
Ok
I mean, you have to resize canvas if it is big.
@tired birch i'm sorry. the image, not the canvas
you have to click where it says 'resize image'
Uhh ok
Guys there's any code for alternate rdc by using line tool ๐
But i deleted the Png
@sweet topaz ._.XD
wait a minute
What png
._. Clouds Png
You can save your send image
@sweet topaz I used this png to make my tower. It doesn't need to be resized
Ok let me try it ;)
I cant dark the clouds
It says the image is too small to edit ut
._. Hello?
@sweet topaz oh, i'm sorry i was uploading a plugin
Ok
but did you click in 'import frame'?
cuz you have open the png, then select it to copy it, and then paste it in a new layer of the frame
haey guys, how much tile size for bus?
What size is the clouds
@sweet topaz don't import if diffrent size just copy first then paste in new frame
i have an idea
you can paste the same clouds next to them
i mean, you will double the width number
Hmm you speak spanish?
si
Ok lets go to the private chat better
ok
Somethimes i dont entiendo the ingles
xd
@sweet topaz hang on there bud imma fix your skyscrapers
@sweet topaz hang on there bud imma fix your skyscrapers
@lunar snow
Thx
Nice thx
what property is lacking here
Still need to improve tho
add a small cafeteria type thing
no space for that
In the building
the main building should have a small cover and a few shops
maybe add some noise lol
@echo quartz you need to add more detail to the ground part?
i am the first you
im very confused you
same to you
i dont like you
Guys there's any code for separated rdc๐
rdc?
@orchid sorrel Turn out using brush as noise in pixly was a great idea
that's great, try fiddling with transparency and speed


night
noise already
And about the night, U just only need to light up the light, not the whole thing
@echo quartz
it noise
I mean separating road deco
Wire > lamp > wire lamp๐
Like a distance pile
But for rdc
something like a-b-a-b?
Use fun transitions, remove and build actions. I think that is the simplest way.
see fun attribute on forums

Does enyone know an underated fire station or police station plugin
Olso does enybody know about eny building packs with European building styles
i dont know just random drawing
i dont know just random drawing
@echo quartz
-_-
@keen helm ThobbyI think it looks great, especially with the dark tone of the building. Looks like a TTT Residential.
it is a mansion which means it is indeed a TTT Residential
actually, give it a large garden and you get yourself a TTTT Residential for the bourgeoisie ^^
I like that idea. Sometimes I make gardens for mansions using modular park plugins since there currently aren't any mentions with large fancy gardens in Theotown. ^_^
here it is
and i improved a bit the winter texture
anyone got a json for night animations ?
see night animations on forums
i just did
the night animation will feature an easter egg
in-game render
in-game render at night during winter
Well that mansion turned out great.
Cool!
Cool
That user name...
whose username?
just check #plugin-showcase
I study something new, namely the color gradient turns out beautiful when done correctly
looks pretty cool
Is that a fire station @echo quartz ? If it is then it looks very cool. That plugin is on fire. ๐ฅ
Cooming Soon
What are some good plug ins
Ones like the rocket launch site and the government facility
what do smartphone Make Plugin tools?
Check pinned messages
I CAN'T STILL UPDATE!! AAAAHHHHHH
@echo heron yes mybplan is fire statin building

niceeee
@fierce haven can i have one? i used to spawn my fire station?
I am still in production, but I can give you pictures
it decoration?
I don't know the code of the fire engine, so I plan to decorate it.
Wow nice trucks
@fierce haven
you just create a new car ids then in your json building add some line code
"car spawner": [
{
"cars": [
"your car id here" /* car id /
],
"count": 15, / count of car /
"radius": 150 / radius */
}
]
@echo quartz You should really add shading to those fire trucks that are going out of the garage
Is it allowed if I make busses out of a real Bus Company?
Check the red brick
emmm....
this is just a test
@surreal orbit as long as you doesnโt reuse the name / logo yes
But you can have your content based on existing vehicles
so if its "Ceres Tours" will it be renamed "Eris Tours"?
yes
Yes
e
Alright ill call it the Aparel Group of Bus Companies then
ok
anyways, what i wanted to tell with that brick inside hollow building is that your trucks pop out too much
wait thats a truck
Wat
this is a brick
Ah
hmm
The trucks pop out too much
Hey, I am about to start making plugins. How do I get the plugin creator because I dont seem to find it.
An easier way to create plugins via friendly UI interface.
Huge thx. But why cant some of the options be selected
like this??
i always use 25-30% color opacity for shading effect
Yeah, looks better
thanks for mention it, because i'm new in graphic design
Huge thx. But why cant some of the options be selected
@grand ivy
yes
Can't really make out what are you trying to make.
Guys what is this star thing?
its mean your plugin on fire
howtokillmyself
@midnight obsidian Ye I know that username is kinda depressing. But luckily i got this account from a friend so i probably dont want to kill myself lol
its mean your plugin on fire
@echo quartz u mean like getting featured?
i didn't know about that but something like that
@lunar snow i think you can change account username
Updating some of my commercials
is this a night frame?
if yes only draw the parts that should be light up, not the whole building
Doesn't look like it
I've just dark it too looks like it's night :p
oh wait
Not the whole building is lit up
flat design
I'm liking these designer store plugins
60%
Me too!!! The plug-in is amazing!!!
@fierce haven is that ac 130?
Ahhhh the double gatling perfecโค๏ธ
got a question regarding vehicle graphics. if anybody has answers, it would be grealy appreciated
ok, go ahead
I've got a set of images for a train
Why can't I make my plug-in ground in the plug-in creator
like this
Trying to make terrain
1 image is like you did is enoughfor each direction
Okay, thank you.
Didn't there used to be an app to make plugins
No clue
Improved
Kinda like an overgrown flower patch
I uploaded it hope you guys like it
Not bad but wouldnโt fit as a store plugin
I would just use the forum since people only really accept high quality plugins on the store
Alright how is it?
That looks great to me
If you can put "sunlight" effect in the glass it will look better, but it looks good (Just need some darker shadows)

IM honest O, this building needs a L I T T L E B I T of isometry and polishing
isometry
Isometry
ISOMETRY

Have a base to see how it works
You can see bases in the pins
I picked the first I saw in my phone
How do you make a 16x16 plugin?
use a 16x16 base
i cant find one
make one for yourself
yes
is support for 16x16 now?
i cant find one
@surreal orbit just join four 8x8 templates
is support for 16x16 now?
@echo quartz yes
hello again you
hows plugin making you?
hard and my plugins are trash
oh :(
I think the maximum that can be made is only 8x8
the coke factory plugin is 16x16 i think
I think the maximum that can be made is only 8x8
@echo quartz no, the maximum is 30x30
wait what
has someone made a 30x30 plugin before?
Please don't do that, it consumes a lot of plugin texture space
@sly ocean since what version has this happened?
i kind of want to make one
but pixel studio wont let me
@surreal orbit try pixly
try resize the canvas on gear options
8ร8 tile is the largest supported tile
.
You can make larger than 8ร8 using composition tag ...
k
how much tile this plugin?
i think was 16x16
I really just found out if now has supported more than 8x8 tile
16x16 is the only big size that wont break the game?
i have a 16x16 template
Pls giv
Easy moding possibilities are the best thing that devs can do for a game IMO, free content!
Oh boi that's big
I've seen it in the forum
hehee
What building has a large tile?
i created a 48x48 office complex 2 yrs ago
WAIT
What
lol
as I know, the "frame" will be displayed in the building tool preview, and if the frames is larger than 8x8, it will make some lags. different with "animation" only draws when some conditions (ex: buildings have been built, night, winter). so that it will not make any lags.
To everyone who has this plugin in their cities, I have updated this house and sooner will be avaliable in the new update of Brazilian pack.
With a new TTT 1971's house.
The new house doesn't look a "TTT" house, but that's because the roof design, called fiber cement tile, but this type of model is unique in Brazilian homes.
It's like this.
In the case of this house, they are sideways instead of facing. It is very difficult to draw them.
Interesting snack.
what do i need to add
are you planning to release them or is it a private plugin? @fierce haven
I don't know yet
@surreal orbit add a circular path to turn the bus
what do you mean
something like this
in the middle?
center of terminal
then you can add some small cafetaria or park in side of there
oh sorry i didnt know that
@echo quartz do u know how to make a night animation?
@surreal orbit
I been asking me the same
very hard to understand this stuff
You just have to understand it slowly
K
You should make the tail shorter @fierce haven
Also the V-22 is too big in comparison to the C-17
who wouldn't have a mod for a trolleybus?
My Modulable Embassy Pack Embassy Building on Progress

Nice set of planes !

Ah I need some serious help with shaping the buildings. I am new to making plugins
Lol
dont laugh man i am serious
Lol
i went out of my grave
and its time to either help others improve or just make plugins to raise quality a bit
Ok..?
Okn't
Its great, byt when I used to make maps people were "helping" criticising and nit giving any tips with the excuse of "helping" So if you help in a good way sure
dont worry man
ask people around
when i say help i mean it
ask ricky and bernardo
gl hf
I can't find a download link for these cute houses. who can help
Take the pics and make them into a plugin yourself I guess
Wait arent thise just the sample houses
lmmao
But coloured
Progress for my latest project
Wow nice
This is prohibited due to copyright reasons
@rain gate
wasnt it allowed for personal use?
@rain gate looks great , but did you do the shading on the side?
you know , one side darker the other brighter
ight man
the structure looks really good
you could use some noise to give the grass a bit of texture
that grid pattern stands out
if you do that after then great
Ok
is there any plugin creator who studied architecture?
I'm gonna study architecture this upcoming school year
me too man
i want to play guitar , but it helps to have an architecture diploma in case stuff goes south
This is prohibited due to copyright reasons
@Doofenschmirtz
wasnt it allowed for personal use?
its made as a sample ,i guess you need to ask the creator of the original thing
I'm glad people a enjoying my plugin. This next one I make will me on a whole other level.
what is your plugin called
Typical Southern Brazilian upper class home in mid 1980 and 1990 decades. I am going to add night version, but it would happen in another day, but I will make 3 more TTT houses to share the number of 12 T, TT from Brazilian Residential Pack.
Remastered home.
This house will be updated also.
i think your missing a plugin the plugin needs
plugins need plugins
For anyone who want to make the seperate plugins on one custom category. Just put "once":true on category code. So, that will not override each other if many same ids..
@rain gate here is the place for questions
also wdym?
if I understand correctly, you should try pcw.theotown.com
I see a lot of peoples have been using in-game helicopters textures
I have never seen custom ones
Airbus Helicopter EC-175
Thatโs right. Other types are also required.
@rain gate what app do you use in making houses of yours?
Would y'all say this is 3x3 or 4x4
3x3
Ok
Update of Maritime Pine Tree is out, adding :
- 3 New Large tree which result in more dense forests more similar to the real ones
- 2 Dead tree, 1 large and 1 small which make the forest more similar to the real ones as you can find some dead trees, relica of the storms that hit the french coastlines.
Idk , they look good to me
I mean
Its
Ehm
On one side there are two turbines or however its called and on the other side 1, idk if its intentional but kinda odd
train for one, trains for many
Ye trains

Theotown copy of minecraft proof 100% real not fake
Alright, listen up
i am currently trying to find a nice looking tree / plant that i could make as part of my next plugin
if you guys have any idea, MP me with a tree specie you would like to see and i might try to do it
train template Pls
@fierce haven
They have in admiral plugin ๐
?
Just do it never mind ๐
Sorry
๐
@cyan steeple, I saw this building in your city, and if you don't mind, I would ask if you have this plugin (or plugins), because the last time I saw, it was from the old version of French Pack, but it has been removed from plugin store and from the forum.
Hey guys where do we put the "override":true in the json
I need this to remake my city.
Just an update
Also, I do all texture related things at the end, so don't bring that up
The closed roof version
Current wip
Lol
Really awesome work ๐ฒ
Couldnt find any soviet style blocks of flats so making some myself
(3 side poster variants)
Is that a bus?
Though judging by the lack of wheels more like some sort of a tram or train
@rain gate i removed this building from the French Pack because it was too ugly
But since you want it , here it is
@rain gate i removed this building from the French Pack because it was too ugly
@sharp dawn Thanks. ๐
Military drone ?
@hollow zephyr no its a train lol
@hollow zephyr nice building but i dont see any shading
@echo quartz looks really really big
is the theotown scale 3 pixels 1.8 meters or 3 px 2meters
i have been using 3pixels 2meters one
1.8 meters i think
By the way, the new update of maritime pine tree is pending approval
It will add a total of 34 tree (17 summer frames and 17 winter frames), which now spawn automatically, their texture is 20% less satured meaning they are more similar to real ones.
Feel free to suggest new trees
3 pixels = 2 meters
7 pixel = 4 meters so we are in between.
Itโs generally admitted that 3px = 1.8 meters
@keen helm. Well, I do have a new suggestion for you. What do you think about the Brazilian Araucarias? They have an extremely resistant leaf to winter, it's located in many regions of South Region of Brazil.
Yes. ๐
I might do it
Any picture of that same tree during winter ?
Well send all of it through MP @rain gate so i dont lose the track of it
Ok.
In fact, here in my state, it's frost, but it gets close to winter in the coldest months, especially in the south of my state.
Ok thanks, those pictures are what i needed
Currently i am brainstorming for trees idea
Thinking about a rainbow eucalyptus
But also bushes / flowers such as lavender
There are few users who make tree or another vegetation plugins...
But a nice idea. ๐
Ok.
Appart from Mdk and 2-3 others persons, none have made and uploaded any tree yet
Anyway, ima sleep, cya
Emmm.... Trees... I think I know what I will practice....
@rain gate sul do Brasil ?

Sรฃo Paulo Mega pack (I STILL WORKING ON THIS PROJECT!!)
there will be 7 or 8 buildings
Very good. ๐
Thanks!
Traditional 1970 southern brazilian upper class residential.
hOW DO i make Plugins oml
not bad
Thx
If I making plugin pack, should I put ALL zip files in one folder?
Nice
first things first , the window blue is a bit too bright ,thats the start
i think working with gray ,a darker shade on the right side would help make it more realistic
is it still too bright?
slightly
you could try what rock fort does , grey almost black windows
but idk how well that would work in this case
yeah
alright
also the darker line on the left you can make the collor of the right wall or a bit darker to add depth to the windows
or you can make it very bright for a reflective kinda vibe
keep it simple ,theotown style is not that complicated
alright
i used to do window cloud reflection by adding the effect on a picture of just the windows and slapping it on top of the building
the effect was kinda ok
but in the end it took away a lot of depth
cuz it dooesnt relaly bend to edges
so it looks like a cut out on bigger things
yep
only use it on small separated windows and you should be ok
