[slender briar]

i mean rock fort as detailed his buildings are mostly does plain dark gray and black windows you know

[grand crater]

yeah

[sharp dawn]

Black and dark gray windows is the most simple thing for windows

[slender briar]

hello rock

[sharp dawn]

Hello sir 👋

[slender briar]

yeah it is but its a bit strange on certain buildings , i just do the good old grey ish blue

[sharp dawn]

I think light blue not too bright is good too

Mimic the sky reflection

[slender briar]

kinda

[grand crater]

my building is actually meant to be a concert hall

back in 2018 i used to make ones, would you like to see it?

((it looks pretty bad doe))

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/450521553852039169/451356860486909952/lll.png

[sharp dawn]

Yeah its way too bright

[slender briar]

you know what i realised , buildings windows should not have reflections , because the bright side of a building , is facing the dark side of whatever is in front of it , so no light from other buildings hits the windows

[grand crater]

the new one will be better

oh yeah, but kek it depends what kind of building it is

if it's a small building, then it's fine that there's refelction

*no

heck idk

[slender briar]

ye

[grand crater]

it depends where you place the buildings

[slender briar]

and btw if you take this in consideration then rock's dark windows make even more sense

i mean in real life if you look at windows that aint reflecting the sky they are all black

[grand crater]

hmm, let me test it out now

[slender briar]

i realised that one day while i was in the car , that only windows that are blue are the ones that reflect the sky

after all windows by defeault are transparent

[grand crater]

ye

bruh no

well actually

the windows are inside the building, like not like on the outer wall

[slender briar]

what do you mean

[grand crater]

lol my explanation is bad

uh le tme draw it

[pulsar swan]

i usually get the color for my windows from reference images

[grand crater]

like this

the windows are like,

h

how can you say this

like sunken insde a bit

[slender briar]

yeah the windows are in the wall

as they should after all

[pulsar swan]

recessed

[grand crater]

^^^

yes

[slender briar]

ight peeps imma upload some stuff and then get to work on something too

[grand crater]

alright

[pulsar swan]

i should work on something new

[grand crater]

this is slowly starting to look good

idk it looks too flat, but maybe if I continue it won't look flat anymore

[pulsar swan]

you can try to do this with your windows

to make them look recessed

it depends on how your windows are shaped

[grand crater]

ooh yeah thanks

[slender briar]

i need a plugin tester

for a lot of plugins

want to mass upload some unreleased things cep made the code for but i need to test em myself first

but i cant since some of these had a json or have some counterparts

overwriting and stuff

[signal lagoon]

[grand crater]

Hmmmm.

[grand crater]

looks great so far

[surreal orbit]

Is that suppoed to be a city hall?

@echo quartz

[echo quartz]

no, it a campus

[slender briar]

god i was barely able to jog 3km

i was dying after 1km

@echo quartz you could add small groups of people and pairs of people to make it look a bit more alive

they are too evenly spread

an this side should be brighter

[echo quartz]

yes i know

gradient window color

[slender briar]

this is a bit confusing

[surreal orbit]

yes

[echo quartz]

I thought because the wall tilted toward the sun

[slender briar]

it looks like the roof is overhanged

shadows like that only appear below stuff

[echo quartz]

ah yes, forget about this

thanks for mention it

better now?

[slender briar]

also i made this wireframe kinda thing to show that some parts of the building would be outside the boundary

the light blue is the template

the orange is what is behind and red what is visible

like geometry

the base of that l shape is outside

[echo quartz]

i think it ok

[slender briar]

its not visible but it is a tiny detail

[echo quartz]

maybe next time will apply this

btw thanks for correct me

@slender briar here with template base 8x8, i just hide the template because i use ground mode in game

[slender briar]

ok

@echo quartz

[echo quartz]

thanks again i will fix right now

[slender briar]

ight

[echo quartz]

@slender briar here it correct?

[slender briar]

yes

[echo quartz]

thanks

[slender briar]

one last thing

[echo quartz]

ah i will remember this

[jaunty hill]

If l making plugin pack, should I put ALL zip files in one folder?

[echo quartz]

yes

[jaunty hill]

Oh, thanks

[signal lagoon]

Zip all files in each folders.

[slender briar]

@lilac shuttle looks pretty good so far

but a bit big if you ask me

[lilac shuttle]

Maybe

[slender briar]

and windows aint perfectly simetrical

just count the pixels between windows

[grand crater]

h it looks plain

but what do you think?

oh yeah brb

[lunar snow]

@echo quartz i love that thing. Better than the pervious one. But i have a question : where is the noise?

[grand crater]

h

pls any opinions

[lunar snow]

@grand crater ye it kinda plain and i dont like the window color. But overall i love it

[grand crater]

oof

thanks

heck everyone has a different taste lol

[lunar snow]

@grand crater btw can i ask an offttopic question?

Is the guy in your avatar us u?

[echo quartz]

@lunar snow noise has been there it's just that the image is too far away to see it

[grand crater]

is this beetter?

[echo quartz]

missing shading?

[grand crater]

wdym?

it is already darker

or wat

[echo quartz]

see again compare below side

[grand crater]

lol sorry i can't see it

[lunar snow]

@lunar snow noise has been there it's just that the image is too far away to see it
@echo quartz because of that u need ti add more noisw

[echo quartz]

@lunar snow no it already

[grand crater]

[surreal orbit]

Gud

[midnight obsidian]

[grand crater]

thankss

and this is halle e without f

[echo quartz]

better just need more darker

[grand crater]

oh lol🤣

[cyan steeple]

Oh no TCPS has made an F1 "expansion" plugin and it isn't good and this makes my inner F1 fan angry

Bcz they can't even spell Haas correctly

They even miss a lot of teams

Soo.. who here is part of TCPS because I'd like to have a word about the F1 plugin and the mistakes it has..

Yes I'm passionate about this and a fanboy

[storm raft]

@fierce haven noice cant wait a nuke to fly

[left gale]

Should be a prebuilt station?

[sly ocean]

yes

[cyan steeple]

Oohh we getting ground level?

[lunar snow]

@left gale did ya make that plugin? The metro plugin?

[lunar snow]

first train done : D19E
Next : D12E

D12E

[spiral scaffold]

How do I get the design?

coal power plant

possibly I'm going to make a plugin

[oblique tundra]

Hum

[spiral scaffold]

what do you think be honest

[sick rune]

You should remove the black outlines and make it isometric

[spiral scaffold]

Thanks for being honest, I will try to improve and make it isometric

🙂

how would a plugin look like?

[keen helm]

It’s not good, here is why :
• Not isometric at all
• Black outlines
• Lack of Noise, which look like lines of differents color
• Too much saturation
• The smoke is an animation, you dont need to draw it

I can help you if you want

DM me and i’ll give you a few advices

[sharp dawn]

Start by using the right tiles :

[fast cave]

(There are more tiles in the pins of this channel)

[sharp dawn]

And the others one can be found in the pinned messages

Yes ^

[fast cave]

Also, lacks of realism in the context, I mean, a coal power plant dont look like that, adding a parking lot and some fences will improve the quality, but there is more

And... Where is the door?

[spiral scaffold]

Thobby
do not draw the smoke because it is a sketch

thank you for your advices

[jaunty hill]

first train done : D19E
Next : D12E
@lunar snow Can you give me train templates?(png) I need to understand the size of the train.

Please

[slender briar]

@spiral scaffold first things first , use a template

you need help ping me , sadly i am a bit busy these days but i check discord as often i can ,at least 3 times a day

[spiral scaffold]

I've taken some of your advice, and that's how I stay at home.
How is it going?}

[midnight obsidian]

Isometry is wrong

And the doors, windows are too big

As Kekman said, use the templates in the pins.

[broken grove]

@spiral scaffold i like the way that the house looks, but its kinda strange to have such big windows for a 2 floors house,

[spiral scaffold]

I do not know? in my country Colombia the windows are big

y hablo español

[sly ocean]

3 pixels = 2 meters

so these windows have more than 10 meters

[spiral scaffold]

oh

thanks

[sweet topaz]

@spiral scaffold
Something like this

Is a 1x1

[echo quartz]

very blur

[shut saddle]

Yes

[sweet topaz]

When is 1x1 is blur

When is bigger it doesnt look blur

Example, this is 4x4

[surreal orbit]

yes

[sweet topaz]

And this is 1x1

[surreal orbit]

bigger means less blur

[sweet topaz]

And this is 1x1
@sweet topaz
Im not loading it its a small example for @spiral scaffold

[spiral scaffold]

Thank you

[echo quartz]

how to correct this?

[old portal]

Perfect

[left gale]

@left gale did ya make that plugin? The metro plugin?
@lunar snow
The Monorail System ...
Tunnel update is coming soon

The update allow us to build monorail line in ground and in tunnels

[grizzled holly]

The lights are so good that I think I will report it as pornographic content

[surreal orbit]

@feral marsh what is the plugin called

[rain gate]

@feral marsh aye, I need some help with lights for one of my plugins

Mind if you help me?

[spiral scaffold]

How do i stay and what are the advertisements

[sweet topaz]

@spiral scaffold
Look the design is good but that isnt the way to make it :(

[spiral scaffold]

ok

I am making a plugin to test the building

[signal lagoon]

Isometry

[spiral scaffold]

here is the plugin to download 🙂

[grand crater]

hello guys

does category "parks" exist?

idk

oh nvm lol

found it thx

[feral marsh]

@surreal orbit IFC Seoul

@rain gate I uploaded the png file together, so you can refer to it.

[surreal orbit]

Ah ok

[rain gate]

Ok

[west dagger]

@feral marsh i love the way you make the lights

[feral marsh]

Thank you!

[grand crater]

Heyyy anyone here expert at light effects?

[signal lagoon]

night frames?

[grand crater]

yeah

*night frames

or idk

can you check my code?

yeah I need help with night frames

i messed it up and now I'm confused

[signal lagoon]

Just make light frames like Dekuz shared here.

[grand crater]

is smth like this good?

[surreal orbit]

in waving flags plugin

[grand crater]

alright i hve the light frame now

what about the coding lol

oH

nvm i found it

[signal lagoon]

Yeah, but you have to find the right x and y positions for that frame.

[grand crater]

i got it

from left to right

i guess

[midnight obsidian]

Probably not

n i c e

time to test it oUt

[midnight obsidian]

I'm intrigued by the sound thing.

[grand crater]

what lol

sound

mmm

yes

[midnight obsidian]

the only thing i care about is the sound

[grand crater]

heck something went wronG

[midnight obsidian]

no

however, plugin creators who upload their plugins on the plugin store can get gem codes you can redeem

[grand crater]

visible frustration

[midnight obsidian]

but don't forget, when you upload your plugin to the plugin store, it will have to be approved

[grand crater]

m y g o d

t h i s i s s t r e s s

dang

i found the mistake

lmao

aaaa still nOT

lol

something is wrong there

[signal lagoon]

You forgot the comma

[grand crater]

wait, where do I place it?

``..
"power": -19,

}
]``

oh at animation ig

[signal lagoon]

After "animation"...

[grand crater]

let's c

oh it worked!

thanks

now let's see if the night frames works aswell

oof still not

      "id":"L_KFC_dimi1",
      "type":"animation",
      "light":true,
      "light switching":true,
      "frames": [{"bmp":"LICHT_Halle_F.png"}]
    },```

for le night

i mean

light frame

oohh nevermindd

it worked

well yeah close enough

[signal lagoon]

Fyi, x = + integer is going to right, - integer is going to left.

y = + integer is going to down, - integer is going to up.

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=11912

This how to change the animation positions without restarting the app.

[grand crater]

oh alright thx

sos pls

wait

pls hlp

ok nvm lol

Mdks plugins are very usefuls for parks , but they are only available on the forum

[drifting spruce]

k

can you give me the link for those plugins?

i cant seem to find it

[jaunty hill]

Can someone give me train and railroad Cars templates? Please.

[rain breach]

can you give me the link for those plugins?
@drifting spruce just search it up.

put mdk or something in it

[drifting spruce]

ive tried it

What about train templates? I can't find them on forum

[orchid sorrel]

Trains? Aren't they on world_2048_1024?

[jaunty hill]

No (maybe)

[orchid sorrel]

pretty sure they are

or at least they are in my files

[surreal orbit]

world_2047_1024 what is that?

[orchid sorrel]

See World texture on forums

[signal lagoon]

There are only an elevated train frames on world texture. For other train frames, i only know the ids. $train01

[orchid sorrel]

I guess I can send them but it would take some time to edit them out

[jaunty hill]

Ok.

I will change them completely

I m going to make something like that

[jaunty hill]

Oh

How?

[orchid sorrel]

❤️ lua ❤️

[jaunty hill]

Wow. Almaizing but difficult

[signal lagoon]

it can be a reference for you to draw a train.

[signal lagoon]

why the drafts with different IDs but with same frames?

[livid agate]

yes

MPS grass expansion

[signal lagoon]

@rain gate can you post here your trash bins ss in every rotation views?

[rain gate]

yes

[signal lagoon]

Not that. Pictures when it was placed in game.

[signal lagoon]

but the positions of bins to rotate do the opposite of what the coordinates say. If you don't understand.

Idk what is the problem, but i think fence just need 4 frames for every rotations, but in your codes, that have 5 frames.

And i think that his plugins

[rain gate]

I got it.

[rain gate]

Oah.

[sly ocean]

a bit weird

[rain gate]

i think that it's a telescope station

[slender briar]

@echo quartz the texture is all over the place , try to make it more simple

[echo quartz]

yeah i confuse about color

[rain gate]

Idk what is the problem, but i think fence just need 4 frames for every rotations, but in your codes, that have 5 frames.
@signal lagoon i will give the winrar

[echo quartz]

someone request military plugin, then i try create one but i dont know about military color

this is also military but i dont know what the best colors for it :(

[rain gate]

this is how probably diagonal cars would look when they pass through diagonal roads.

it's a bit weird...

[slender briar]

it is but well diagonal roads are weird overall

btw man you are doing a great job ,big like from me

[rain gate]

Thanks man. 😄

[oblique tundra]

I think the back window wont be visible

[rain gate]

hmm

like this?

[oblique tundra]

Hmmmm, but try adding a diferent shade

Because its looks a van

[rain gate]

oh

idk were put the shadow

o_o

[oblique tundra]

Yeah, its a bit hard making this

[rain gate]

true

This type of light would be cool as well.

[oblique tundra]

Oh, we thought the same!

[rain gate]

i did it in paint

[oblique tundra]

I was thinking of making that

[rain gate]

idk how do

let's talk in the br server

[oblique tundra]

Yes

[signal lagoon]

@rain gate i think "handle x/y" just for animation.

[rain gate]

thanks

[rain gate]

I liked it.

[west dagger]

❤️

[surreal orbit]

Lmao

[slender briar]

all of these coming soon

probably today if my plugin tester stops wasting time

[orchid sorrel]

I remember these, great

[tired birch]

nice

[slender briar]

its mostly unreleased work

i want to also finish unfinished and abandoned work

[empty night]

Ohh nice

[slender briar]

but these are the textures i had finished but not released

thank you peeps

[pastel summit]

yeah that got me old vibes from theo

[stoic palm]

@rain gate is this done yet?

[fast cave]

Finally, perspective of the road is fixed
Road color by original Road sprite (By Lobby/Theo)

[slender briar]

look at this stuff

[spiral scaffold]

hi

[slender briar]

helo

[pastel summit]

i don't think

linger's stuff are top class

i just felt he lacked the skills on shading

[signal lagoon]

look at this stuff
I see.

[slender briar]

the shading is almost null

the structure looks boring af

only redeeming quality is the base which is more or less decent

[slender briar]

nice ships

[sharp dawn]

Linger building is not bad , it just lacks shadow and texturing

[slender briar]

which makes it bad

[sharp dawn]

Unfortunatly ...

[fast cave]

The drawing is good, but it lacks of the most important thing for me, general shaders (Shadows, soft shadows and window shader/texture)

Even just shadows can improve the quality a lot

[stray radish]

I want this plugin for stadium

[empty night]

i think it's not available

[slender briar]

thankfuly

it looks horrible

almost done

[stray radish]

I know I hope anyone has it send it to me

[empty night]

i think it was in the plugin store

[west dagger]

i have it

ill just recheck

Keep in mind i think its like 150 diamonds

[empty night]

jesus, rlly, just for that ugly stadium

[west dagger]

its very outdated

lacks night frames too and very underdetailed

[empty night]

yeah

[west dagger]

I kinda understand thought since i think its a year old

[empty night]

i woundl't waste 150 diamonds on that

[west dagger]

Or 7 months idk

[lunar snow]

So what do u think?

[rain gate]

@everyone how can i create online region

[empty night]

@rain gate
1st: don't try pining everyone
2nd: #online-mode

[rain gate]

oh ok

[lunar snow]

So no one gonna give a sh*t about my train?
:(

[sharp dawn]

Follow the d**n train ||The Leaf||

[fast cave]

Is great

[lunar snow]

Tks man

Follow the dn train ||The Leaf||
@sharp dawn that inspired me to make that dn train. Gonna put that in the "plugin i will make" list

[sharp dawn]

Otherwise yes its does looks good 👍

[sweet topaz]

@sharp dawn
All we had to do was follow the damn train

@lunar snow train is nice

[slender briar]

is it just me or is a bit more blood running trough this server's veins

[sweet topaz]

Wt?

Someone can tell me how to make cars

To roll in roads

this is how probably diagonal cars would look when they pass through diagonal roads.
@rain gate

yes a bit weird but it whould be cool

[spiral scaffold]

how do i stay?

[sweet topaz]

Is good but the windows need to be more clear

Amd the grass idk

[empty night]

it isn0t isometric

[oblique tundra]

Its strange because apparently It goes 2 pixels by 2 pixels, but...

[empty night]

yeah+

[sweet topaz]

The grass need to be more darker

And the windows are too colorfull

Look the windows

[spiral scaffold]

ok

[zealous aurora]

@spiral scaffold It is in the right size

?

Looks completely off

But at least you're getting isometry right this time

[spiral scaffold]

Thanks I will keep improving, the templates help me a lot

[zealous aurora]

But the size?

You used a size template

Judging by the size it looks like a 1x1 made in a 9x9 size

[spiral scaffold]

no is

3x3

[zealous aurora]

You see my point?

You need to make the building in the appropriate tile size

Your 3x3 building is bigger than the actual 3x3 tile

See?

[spiral scaffold]

it is seen because it enlarges the image

[zealous aurora]

Ah

But still

Isometry looks unsettling

[spiral scaffold]

ok

someone who speak spanish?

[zealous aurora]

Then ask on #language-bar

I don't speak spanish

But you can find someone who does

[spiral scaffold]

gracias

@slender briar trees

[slender briar]

what

make sense before you message

if anyone finds the shading show me , i cant find it anywhere

[midnight obsidian]

the red outlined part is the only bit with shading

nothing else

and i don't really think the shadows are right

@slender briar

[slender briar]

wrong

there is no shading

just some special effects

[midnight obsidian]

ah

[slender briar]

builder role means you build stuff rye

[midnight obsidian]

the main reason i'm a builder is because i used to be a mod in this server i think

[rain breach]

its renamed version of VIP role

[signal lagoon]

still looking for a solution to this lack.

[uncut salmon]

Guys any tall trees for plugin? On nature? Or maybe some map seed? Thanks

[sharp dawn]

Mdk's pine trees are nice

[livid agate]

@sick rune the game uses 4 digit version codes now so minimal version should be 1903

[uncut salmon]

Mdk's pine trees are nice
@sharp dawn
Available on phone plugin?

[lunar snow]

Almost done the D12E train. Watcha think?

[keen helm]

@uncut salmon you can always try the plugins i made .

[empty night]

The translation is wrong

[left gale]

? How should it be?

[empty night]

I tihnk the one of the plroblems is that "Monorail" is translated (and weongly). It's better to left Monorail untransalted

It should be "Guía los trenes en vias de una sola columna"

[left gale]

Thanks 😍

[signal lagoon]

I have tried making dynamic lights, so here you can download. idk if many buildings are built and it will cause lagging or not.

[sly ocean]

:0

[lunar snow]

:0

[orchid sorrel]

If lobbu implemented it 100% this already exists

"night light probability" to be exact

[sweet topaz]

:0

[lunar snow]

I have done the D12E train
Next : D11H

D12E

D11H

Watcha think? :D

[signal lagoon]

If lobbu implemented it 100% this already exists

i see. i'm just a bit lazy to convert lua to json. lol

166 lines of light definitions.

[sweet topaz]

Watcha think? :D
@lunar snow

The train is cool

[orchid sorrel]

I see you can feel my pain

[signal lagoon]

oof

[livid agate]

oh no

[oblique tundra]

Pls no

[midnight obsidian]

the first one looks ok, but the other ones not so much

but yeah, oh no

[slender briar]

i gave the dude some criticism on facebook

hopefully he is going to fix that stuff

most of them are made in advance , he is just waiting to post em so he can get more downloads or something

@livid agate some kind of filter or quality check would be great

any no good wannabe artist can post a plugin even if it is horrid rn

[midnight obsidian]

wait

[livid agate]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=9085

[midnight obsidian]

aren't people checking the plugins and letting them pass?

[livid agate]

technically it is within the rules of quality

[slender briar]

but physically it looks like matter of the fecal variation

[livid agate]

https://forum.theotown.com/memberlist.php?mode=group&g=1537
and these are the moderators

[slender briar]

rip i guss

dont worry kekman is here to save the day

got some mass upload going on

just need to take pics

[rain breach]

nice

[sharp dawn]

#ITTSTBPI

[slender briar]

its what

what does that tag mean

its time to stop the bad plugins?

[sharp dawn]

^

[slender briar]

its true but sadly quality takes time

[sharp dawn]

Unfortunatly i have to agree with that

[slender briar]

i ate like a steak ,4 mushrooms ,potatoes , a chicken leg and 4 saussages

i am one hungry man , i cant get out of bed or i would work on the plugins lol

[midnight obsidian]

when will people understand

[sharp dawn]

Now i take my time and make plugins only if i got the feeling to do it

[midnight obsidian]

quality > quantity

[sharp dawn]

And put some nice music doing it

[rain breach]

I haven't seen industry plugins in a while

[midnight obsidian]

ooh

i would like to see industry plugins

my industrial zones are getting boring

[rain breach]

Yeah mostly people just making residential and commercial

[slender briar]

gotta finish this

good idea with the industrial stuff

imma make some

[sharp dawn]

Its hard to find nice industrial buildings

[midnight obsidian]

yup

[sharp dawn]

But i will try to make some more one day

[midnight obsidian]

anyone remember between2characters

that guy who was uploading effortless plugins to the forums and didn't listen to our advice when we commented?

[slender briar]

i wonder if i will ever be as good as rock or monte

[midnight obsidian]

was checking my old plugins, saw this

[carmine gulch]

:)

[uncut salmon]

you can always try the plugins i made .
@keen helm
which one's sir?

[surreal orbit]

Has anyone built a UK building pack? (besides mdk)

[slender briar]

god its 3 am

well at least i uploaded the stuff

imma just sleep now

[indigo elbow]

Was thinking of releasing my Spanish/Portuguese inspire architectural pack for free. Thoughts? How should I go about doing this with the plugin store. Don’t want it to cost 30 would prefer an option that players can access it without having to watch an ad. I bought the premium version of the game so I don’t have to deal with the new money grab version.

[pulsar swan]

30 gems is the least you can offer it for

if you want another option, you can always release on the forums

but less people look at the forums i think

[indigo elbow]

Yeh which is a shame.. I think I’ll release it for 30 gems but I’ll make an eye catching description for where people can get the plugin for free

I don’t benefit from the gem system at all so... I might aswell set it to the lowest price.

[sharp dawn]

I always put my plugins both in the plugin store at the lowest price ( 30 ) and in the forum ( for free )
So if you're short on diamonds you can just download the forum version

@surreal orbit i don't remember Mdk made a UK pack

[surreal orbit]

But i have it though

[sharp dawn]

RockFort ≠ mdk

Mdk is german

[surreal orbit]

Ahh wait

Oof

[livid agate]

it is in progress

[signal lagoon]

Oops

[rain gate]

Today im too boring so i do plugin but i dont have account

[keen helm]

@fierce haven the helicopters are too big in comparison to the helipads, otherwise it’s quite nice.

@uncut salmon the maritime pine tree plugin

[lusty yoke]

founded zero good plugins for soviet like buildings

starts doing them even before buying game

but i dont really know how to operate with .json

[wanton willow]

can someone make a list for must have plugins 😩

[sinful meadow]

Plugin????

[west dagger]

i am guessing its something along the lines of the city of dreams

[sinful meadow]

Same plugin 😆

[signal lagoon]

Are you chris yu?

[slender briar]

chris yu sucks

[lilac shuttle]

Got a question

How do I make my shoulder plugin little smaller to match real life shoulder

With yellow line

[signal lagoon]

tbh, it's not easy if you want to make it.

but you can make the shoulder half and fill with grass or something or leave it empty on the other side.

[lilac shuttle]

I like the bottom

How do I code it

[pastel summit]

lol

i think more people should be added to mod plugins

some of them are way crap but still got approved

[empty night]

Yeah

[slender briar]

the person who aproves chris yu's plugins should be sent to court

[pastel summit]

just add us

you'll expect half of the plugins preparing to be submitted to get rejected

since they're crap

[midnight obsidian]

like who's idea was to approve this

no wonder it has 20 dislikes

i can't see the shadows, there's barely any detail

colors are too bright

[pastel summit]

yeah

[lilac shuttle]

Lol

[keen helm]

@steady harness night buildings could be done actually

@midnight obsidian i hope they do prevent bad quality plugins from appearing .

[midnight obsidian]

yup

[steady harness]

Yeah there are some buildings (ingame and plugin store) with night animations, but I mean like Clubs and discos for night life

@keen helm

[midnight obsidian]

chris yu's chanel store is a disgrace to the entire plugin making community

but it got approved

[steady harness]

True

[empty night]

Sadly the truth

[keen helm]

not detailed at all.

i bet i can do a good luxury shop without problems

[lilac shuttle]

Lol

[sharp dawn]

Lol

Luxury shop challenge

Oh man , Chris Wu tower

It give me eye bleeding lol

[livid agate]

it do be like that

[untold pumice]

What is image size for 1x1 plugin??

In pixly

No

The image size

So what size in pixly

[sharp dawn]

[untold pumice]

Ok thanks!

[keen helm]

[untold pumice]

the hell is thw seze

Wkjs

[old portal]

São Paulo pack!

[sweet topaz]

[empty night]

Oh nice

[sharp dawn]

Yes its 32 x 16 , sorry for the mistake , 16 is for the height and 32 for the length

But you can just use tiles templates

You can find them in the pinned messages here

[untold pumice]

I already uninstalled all the quockedits amd pixlys

Im

[untold pumice]

@sharp dawn does. Not. Work.

[oblique tundra]

🙂

[orchid sorrel]

looks cool

[oblique tundra]

Thanks

[sweet topaz]

@oblique tundra
Wow nice

[steady harness]

Can someone help me with this? I can't do it better

[clever kite]

I've really wanted to know how to make plugins for theotown, but I'm not sure how to 😔. Could someone link or give me a full tutorial of how to get started with making plugins on andriod please.

[midnight obsidian]

@clever kite Check the documentations in the forums. It should help 😉

[clever kite]

Thankyou for responding 👍I'll have a look

[pulsar swan]

@steady harness i think you just need some texture on the windows

[slender briar]

@stark zephyr i pinged you just because i wanted to know who disliked my plugin

what do you dislike

the wrong template , the poor quality on some or the colors

[stoic palm]

@slender briar I think some people said they were having an issue with your new skyscraper

[empty night]

Hey kek, one of your plugins looks like it's broken

[stoic palm]

Lol talking about the sams thing I see

[slender briar]

i know about it but man i went to play some far cry 3

and some arab dudes nuked a server of mine

it had 124 pings

and its 12 am

you can just damn delete that plugin off the store

[stoic palm]

If I had the power sure

[slender briar]

oh yeah

one sec let me check something

[stoic palm]

But I'm not even sure who would have that capability

[slender briar]

knfabl is the night frame

kekman night frame AB Lights

of course i forgot to put the night frame in

[stoic palm]

Oof

Is that a simple fix?

[slender briar]

i just put the pic in the zip and imma update it rn

[stoic palm]

Ah

So very simple fix haha

[slender briar]

yeah

i sent it for aproval and stuff

god damnit i forget so much stuff

[pastel summit]

is it a little bit ironic consider most of the OGs use this place while the new gens with shitty plugins rarely take advices here?

[slender briar]

most new gens with shitty plugins are cut off from the community

its always some random east asian who foudn out what the internet is 2 days ago who makes plugins because he likes big glass tower who make the bad plugins

the vietnamese are cut off completely not listening to reason or critic

and i blame language barrier and lack of proper filters

[pastel summit]

LOL

that's a little sad

[stark zephyr]

jesus christ you tracked me down kekman?

[slender briar]

nah i just like to see who dislikes my plugins and stuff

and since its usually like 3 people

one of which some russian guy who hates em all lol

[stark zephyr]

oh aight, well its the colors, they seem off

maybe thats just me

[slender briar]

as i expected

thanks man

[stark zephyr]

yw

[slender briar]

its old stuff btw , unreleased old stuff

i mean there is a reason its unreleased lel

[stark zephyr]

yes yes

i hope to see more unreleased old stuff from ya

[slender briar]

probably wont happen tbh

this was the most intact and finished stuff i had

all other unreleased stuff is uncomplete af or too old and ugly to finish and release

plus i aint exactly happy of my plugin past

ark skyscraper flashbacks

[pulsar swan]

i remember that one

[dreamy hearth]

What's the dimensions of the 6x6 template for a building

[stoic palm]

[eternal coral]

@fierce haven nice job

@fierce haven when you publish it?

[fierce haven]

Not yet

[eternal coral]

[static sail]

more or less??

[west dagger]

I think Korean mostly doesnt publish his/her plugins

or upload it whenever s/he thinks its ready

[keen helm]

i like your content Korean, i might try to work on a ship too.

[rain gate]

How long does it take for a plug-in to be approved?

[oblique tundra]

1m - 1 day

[rain gate]

lol

[sharp dawn]

More likely 20 hours

[keen helm]

$

i got really inspired by korean content

so i will make my own ship

[sharp dawn]

I thought it was a ferry boat until i saw the artillery 😂

[tame star]

What is dat

[keen helm]

[rain gate]

[eternal coral]

in mobile there is not?

[stoic palm]

Not of that app

[eternal coral]

que pena que no pueda desde el mobil

Too bad I can't from the mobile*

[sharp dawn]

🤦

Use pixly or novix instead

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 )

[eternal coral]

NICE

[fierce haven]

Good

[eternal coral]

Is very difficult create plugin

Tutorial?

[sweet topaz]

@eternal coral

The Graphics isnt much hard

But the JSON mmm
Is a bit hard

[stoic palm]

There are a many tutorials one the froums

[eternal coral]

Ok

[rain breach]

@eternal coral

The Graphics isnt much hard

But the JSON mmm
Is a bit hard
@sweet topaz flip them over

json is actually really easy

once you understand how it works its quite easy

[sweet topaz]

json is actually really easy
@rain breach

Oh lord
Then, idk why it is too hard to me

[rain breach]

you prob lack knowledge

[sweet topaz]

Im lack in Knowledge of these kindd of things duh

[rain breach]

[rain gate]

Wdym

[rain breach]

[rain gate]

Just t340 that i make it

Plugin

[rain breach]

ah ok

[sweet topaz]

Ok

[stoic palm]

Most plugin jsons can just be a copy of each other

Only change what's necessary

[rain breach]

the only hard bit of json is the fun commands

[orchid sorrel]

lua is a true head scratcher

[rain breach]

oh no plane textures

[rain gate]

Original

[livid agate]

js*, @orchid sorrel

[orchid sorrel]

[pastel summit]

it is separate

[keen helm]

ok thx, i didnt knew

[pastel summit]

17 buildings

11-14 done

[lilac shuttle]

[pastel summit]

@lilac shuttle uh, that's not

what everybody meant as shading

should i be harsh?

uh who cares

[lilac shuttle]

Huh

[pastel summit]

wrong shape, wrong shading, wrong colours, wrong roof, wrong lining

but at least better than what you did a month ago

make it an improvement

[lilac shuttle]

???

[stoic palm]

Do to the fact I made the edit using plugins without the authors consent I cannot post it

Don't copy the reflection in the windows

[lilac shuttle]

My plugin is somewhat close to this

Shape is good too

[pastel summit]

i don't think it's close

i mean why do you even follow the shadows of that building

[lilac shuttle]

I use color picker of the building

[left gale]

Hello everyone, uhh... My city captures uhh...

This thingy ...

And my company, Haraya Motors™, wants to reverse engineer that saucer...

Uhhmm... And currently, we have some difficulties to replicate its electricals... for lights...
