dynoSuccess Cephues#3319 has been warned., posting copyrighted images

signal lagoon
stoic palm
#

Rules are rules

#

And those images are for sure copyrighted

#

There's a reason they don't exist as a public plugin for the game

#

And sharing them in this setting. Publicly. Encourages the theft of the images

Is it possible to create plugins without having TheoTown for pc? I only have mobile but I do have coding experience

Yeah, check pins

western hemlock tree

#

a single tree is already quite a lot time consuming

surreal orbit
#

twig

keen helm
#

so i will probably copy / paste a few parts

surreal orbit
#

giant twig

keen helm
#

so it's easier for me

midnight obsidian
#

i should really try harder to make plugins and try to upload them

keen helm
#

so this is what i want it to look like once finished

keen helm
#

i think it look better when saturated.

#

i think it's good

#

a bit less contrast

#

yeah it's better now

#

1st vaariant is finished

#

it should work ok now.

#

just need to see the in-game result

reef condor
#

Is the pad okay??

echo quartz
#

no create more space for it

orchid sorrel
#

it's fine

#

little oversaturated but the shape is fine

#

why are the windows transparent?

i am an old man with old styl

#

i am left behind as a plugin maker and i have to come back

#

i either go big or i go unrelevant

left gale
#

I love your beacon lights kek

slender briar
#

#

the tragedy of kekman is the fact that my most famous plugins are an ugly tower i regret making and some lights

Not a plugin related but can someone help me creating region maps? 🀧

that train is cool

keen helm
#

thx

#

i dont like how saturated my trees are a tually

#

actually*

#

so i will likely reduce the saturation

slender briar
#

they look ok , just need some diversity

rain gate
#

Very good contrast bear_yes

slender briar
#

where

rain gate
#

On the glass

slender briar
#

ah thanks

#

i meant to ask who because thobby posted his trees so i thought you meant those

rain gate
#

Ah

zealous aurora
#

@keen helm You have the assets? Can you give it?

keen helm
#

not yet

#

wait until those are uploaded

#

should be quite soon

zealous aurora
#

No, I mean the original ones

From the actual game

Do you have it

slender briar
zealous aurora
#

Does anybody have train/station graphics?

keen helm
#

zealous aurora

Not even the original

Or another template from anyone

I just need a base

keen helm
#

zealous aurora
#

Geez

echo quartz
#

@slender briar and i don't care 🀣

slender briar
#

about what

#

the grass the houses the command

rain gate
#

@slender briar, then take a look at these houses in Curitiba, ParanΓ‘ (a state of southern region of Brazil). I could add them, but for another pack. They are very similar to european houses.

slender briar
#

one on the center looks great

rain gate
#

I will add this one in my pack

mortal anchor
rain gate
#

I will add this one in my pack
@rain gate

#

@rain gate

zealous aurora
#

Does anyone have a tutorial of how to make train stations

#

?

sly ocean
#

@rain gate is this house a 2x2 or 3x3?

rain gate
#

3x3

#

And TTT level.

slender briar
#

@rain gate ou seem to be very talented at houses like this

#

do you mind if i make a request?

#

its something close to me ,otherwise i wouldnt request really

rain gate
#

do you mind if i make a request?
@slender briar Can be.

slender briar
#

well if you dont mind ,ill send you pics of a house

rain gate
#

alright.

#

added antenna and shadows

zealous aurora
#

Need help w/trains

#

How do I begin?

slender briar
#

with the start

zealous aurora
#

There's any tutorial or graphics that can I begin with

#

I searched through the forum and there wasn't anything

#

@slender briar

slender briar
#

what do you want to do exactly

zealous aurora
#

A train station

slender briar
#

well you dont need the trains

#

you know isometry right?

zealous aurora
#

That spawn the trains

#

Yes I know

#

I want to do a Supervia train system

slender briar
#

well if you have an idea of how the train station looks like just draw it on that template

#

but it has to be isometric

slender briar
#

draw it den

#

i guess , ask someone who did trains before i never did

zealous aurora
#

Already on that

slender briar
#

@keen helm i think you made a train or two , if you have time explain this fella how to make train stations and stuff

surreal orbit
#

can someone give me an example of a car's sprite

zealous aurora
#

I just want to know how the Json will work

#

And graphs and all

#

I picked the classic monorail train as base

#

But I imagine that wouldn't work like that

left gale
zealous aurora
#

@left gale Well, this lighten up the things, but......

#

....the graphics for the train

#

Do you have the original ones, so I can make my trains more authentic

not a problem

Also problem number 2
I play Theotown on mobile

using theotown on mobile is not an obstacle for making plugins

i play on mobile and i do plugins

How make plugins on smartphone?

fast cave
#

I just use PC because:

  1. I dont have a phone right now
  2. Even if my old phone still in function, it is s l o w
#

You can use Pixly (For graphics) and some JSON editor (For code)

#

If you will use PC, then you can use Piskel, paint.net, Microsoft Paint, or some drawing software that allows you to disable Anti-Aliasing (I use CSP, but it cost money), for JSON you can use Notepad++ (I think you will need install a plugin to make Notepad++ read JSONs files), Visual Studio Code (I think Visual Studio 2019 will work too but it is heavy), then you can transport your plugin to the phone/tablet/android device via USB, some cloud storage service (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc), or if you have the Steam/Amazon (?) version for PC, you can go to the game files and put your plugin in "Plugins" folder and start the game

pulsar swan
#

Theres also gimp if you are on mac/linux or dont like pdn for some reason

pulsar swan
#

also you technically can just use notepad to write the json files

#

its just theres no syntax highlighting

fast cave
#

Yeah

#

@rain gate I think the amphiteather looked better before , it was more alive and colored

#

new one looks colder and dead

#

the first one looks like it could be added to the game

reef condor
#

I don't know what just happened to the plug-in showcase a few days after the purge, but...
Does anyone know what fate comes on those suspended plug-ins??

surreal orbit
#

they get suspended

#

duh

reef condor
#

That's not the answer I'm looking for. I mean, would they be approved again or lifted from suspension?

surreal orbit
#

no

#

deleted permanently

#

no more

sly ocean
#

it can be approved again

reef condor
#

@sly ocean, @surreal orbit it's because I've given my suspended plug-in a complete remake on its profile...

#

And now it's still pending...

white snow
#

After a looooong quarantine i am now able to connect! I AM BACK

I will download that

#

Hi

#

Welcome back mr player

white snow
#

I can't update rn cus I'm on my phone

#

But later i will update my work when I was quarantine

sly ocean

#

Goddamned I feel depressed when I was quarantined at a school

#

No internet connection

#

Damn

brisk crystal
#

Welcome back mr player

white snow
#

I didn't know that you MUST be quarantined if you just go to another location

echo quartz
#

@reef condor same with me, now I have removed all my plugins from the store & will never upload any more plugins to the store

reef condor
#

@echo quartz, I'll still keep my plug-in going. I knew that my plug-in is of low quality and that's the reason why it's suspended. That's why I've decided to improve it and here I am, ready for the 'acceptance or denial' gamble.

white snow
#

This is what I have captured when I was in quarantine. I didn't work much cus I don't have internet connection in that place

echo quartz
white snow
#

Same mate

reef condor
#

@echo quartz whoa...

#

Actually, I also want to share my works with others, and hopefully they will get the quality they deserved.

echo quartz
#

well hope you succeed

surreal orbit
#

@echo quartz is that why the CS pack is 30 gems?

echo quartz
#

@surreal orbit Honestly yes, so that other people who don't have diamonds can see ads so they can download my plugin

stoic palm
#

@echo quartz @reef condor for the record I think they are just doing some quality control. Feel free to post the plugins here and I'm sure the plugin creators will be willing to help you

reef condor
#

@stoic palm I hope the improvements I've envisioned is enough for my plug-in to return to the store...

stoic palm
#

Well post it here so you can get feedback from everyone

echo quartz
#

I always post my plugins here during the creation process to listen to their opinions, and when they say "better" then I assume my plugins are of standard quality, now I will use my plugins for myself

white snow
reef condor
#

Here's the release version of my Plug-in.

echo quartz
#

@reef condor try add some noise its look cartoonis

white snow
#

It's actually quite good actually even without the noise.

pulsar swan
#

the windows need detail

reef condor
#

@echo quartz Shall I add some more noise on the deck parts?

#

the windows need detail
@pulsar swan I have no idea how you did those detailings when you created the Jin Mao Building...

pulsar swan
#

its a bunch of layers

#

usually i have 2

#

one to make the windows lighter as you go up

white snow
#

Adding reflections is optional to most

pulsar swan
#

and another to add the noise/texture

echo quartz
reef condor
#

Mind if you'll send it through my GMail?

pulsar swan
#

of course, there are many ways to add detail to windows

reef condor
#

I just use the gradient on pixly, @pulsar swan

echo quartz
reef condor
#

Would that work even if it's glass?

echo quartz
#

replace with black color with 25% opacity it will make darker

reef condor
#

Let me give it a shot after I'm having chores here...

echo quartz
reef condor
#

Alright, I'm back from all the chores here...

Here's the result... Maybe it looks a bit bad...

Woah you guys are expert

reef condor
#

The change since last approval disappeared...
Does that mean they've denied it?

#

Yes, if there are red text bellow title (disapproved, etc).

reef condor
#

But it still says "Suspended...."

#

Yes

white snow
lavish linden
#

Is also possible to draw your graphics in aseprite instead of Pixly or Novix??

reef condor
#

@white snow 200 gems may be a bit too much... 180 is viable, I guess?

#

Yes
Argh, I quit... I'll create another one instead...

white snow
#

that's why I said something cus I don't know

reef condor
#

It'll depend on you.
I'LL DEFINITELY DOWNLOAD THAT

i want to restrict the players like its a premium or something

Aseprite? What is that? A drawing app/software?

Ah... searching...

orchid sorrel

if you can disable antialiasing and supports transparency, yes

ebon matrix

O

#

Not sure

fast cave

*And if you can export it to .png file

brisk crystal
#

Hey,guys I come back

ebon matrix
#

That's possible

fast cave
ebon matrix
#

So it should be possible?

orchid sorrel
#

it won't if it doesn't support transparency

fast cave
#

If you can:

  1. Disable any type of anti-aliasing
    2.Use transparency
    3.Export it to .png
    Yes, you can
ebon matrix

Ok tnx :)

Andrioid (Graphics): Pixly, Pixel Station, IsoPix, Google Play is big, there are more, but you can select one of these for start
Android (JSON): JSON genie free/premium, JSON editor, JSON & XML tool, there are more, but you can select one of these for start
IOS / MacOS (Graphics & JSON): *Sadly, I didnt have a iPhone/Macbook, but Im 99% sure there are some good software for this if you search terms like "Pixel", "Pixel Art" or "JSON", "JSON editor"
Windows (Graphics): Piskel (Web / app), Paint.net, Krita, Gimp (I think), etc.
Windows (JSON): Notepad ++ (With a plugin), Visual Studio code, Visual Studio 2019 (Is heavy), etc.
Requeriments for graphics (In case you will use a different software):

  • The option for disable Anti-Aliasing
  • Support for transparency
  • Support for layers (Optional, but layers make your life easier)
  • Support for export to .png file
    Requeriments for JSON (In case you will use a different software):
    -Support for save in .json file
    *Sorry for the long text
keen helm
#

as of now, all of my trees will be categorised in the json according to their type

#

so there will be

#
Tall_[tree-name]_[Summer/Winter]_[Number]
Medium_[tree-name]_[Summer/Winter]_[Number]
Easy_[tree-name]_[Summer/Winter]_[Number]
Dead_[tree-name]_[Summer/Winter]_[Number]```
#

so of course, it will be annoying to write on the json

#

but it will help me a lot to add new trees

#

new system

#

it starts to look very nice

Universal texture naming table

Universal ID naming table
$Themax_[variety]_1

16 Normal Variants

4 SuperTall Variants
6 Tall Variants
6 Medium Variants

8 Special Variants

4 Small Variants
4 Dead Variants

#

so this is my universal tree texture and ID name table

#

and the current amount of variants i wanna get

#

so i have to do 2 New dead variants, 1 supertall variant, 1 medium variant and 2 tall variants

#

one of my favorite dead variants yet

fierce haven
#

Nice;)

keen helm
#

so i got a total of 24 trees

#

i just need to make 4 more trees and i am done

#

and here is the tallest tree of the plugin

#

at a colossal size of 122 pixels

#

which equals to almost 70 meters

#

this is now one of the tallest trees in the game

#

equaling in size some of the redwood trees

#

and tbh it's one of my most beautiful trees

#

and actually

#

it's of an insane quality that outmatch by far all my first trees

pulsar swan
#

wow

#

very nice

rain gate
keen helm
#

look even nicer

rain gate
#

And the sizes were proportional now. πŸ™‚

keen helm
#

btw

rain gate
#

Thanks. πŸ™‚

keen helm
#

my tree is finished

#

i mean

#

all 48 frames are finished

rain gate
#

thats good

#

have you already posted it on plugin store???

keen helm
#

not yet

#

i gotta do the json now

rain gate
#

ahhh

keen helm
#

which will be quite fast to do

rain gate
#

i see

keen helm
#

it should be done in 2-3 minutes

#

all 24 variants

#

are now here

#

tbh

#

i think those are my best trees ever

#

by far better than the redwood tree and the maritime pine tree

#

they look very theotown'ish

rain gate
#

Woa, they were wonderful! πŸ˜„

keen helm
#

i agree, they are by far my best.

Western Hemlock Forest
@keen helm What is the color of terrain?

#

In the second image.

#

It seens a bit brown.

keen helm
#

idk, i think i got it from a old plugin

#

dont know which tho

rain gate
#

Ah, I understood.

keen helm
#

they fit very well with the game

rain gate
#

True.

#

In my opinion, it should be added in plugin store. πŸ™‚

keen helm
#

i wont add it rn tho

#

probably tomorrow

#

just to find if there are any problems yet

rain gate
#

I do that when I post my plugins too. I awalys check out to see if I didn't see any problems.

#

That's why my BR Housing Pack it's taking to long to post in plugin store.

keen helm
#

same for most of my plugins

#

i hate those low quality / buggy ones that get posted by a lot of peoples

rain gate
#

Make their positions on tiles random

keen helm
#

how can i do so ?

rain gate
#

Looks really bad ngl

#

By moving the tree to the sides of the tile

keen helm
#

yeah i see what you mean

#

i will probably do so with a few trees

rain gate
#

Other than that the trees look real good

keen helm
#

thx

#

i didnt understood what you first meant but yeah, that's what i will do

spiral scaffold
#

How is the building?

keen helm
#

compared to what yous started with, it's good

#

however, you might want to make it smaller

spiral scaffold
#

Is that I had to make the image bigger

keen helm
#

cant do much more than that

#

but it should look more natural than it did before

#

I loved these trees

keen helm
#

the after variant altough it is a bit flawed should look more natural

@midnight obsidian you are good at plugins, can you tell me how to change the game ground? i have done instructions like "id": "$ ground00" and "override": true but it doesn't work, can you help me?

midnight obsidian

i'm not really good at plugins, but thanks for the compliment

If you want to create your own plugins , please check :

  • videos about it on YouTube
  • Theotown official Forum
  • Use Pixly , Novix ( mobile apps ) Piskel , Asperite ( PC programms ) for graphics and a Json reader ( Quickedit for exemple )
fast cave
#

Andrioid (Graphics): Pixly, Pixel Station, IsoPix, Google Play is big, there are more, but you can select one of these for start
Android (JSON): JSON genie free/premium, JSON editor, JSON & XML tool, there are more, but you can select one of these for start
IOS / MacOS (Graphics & JSON): *Sadly, I didnt have a iPhone/Macbook, but Im 99% sure there are some good software for this if you search terms like "Pixel", "Pixel Art" or "JSON", "JSON editor"
Windows (Graphics): Piskel (Web / app), Paint.net, Krita, Gimp (I think), etc.
Windows (JSON): Notepad ++ (With a plugin), Visual Studio code, Visual Studio 2019 (Is heavy), etc.
Requeriments for graphics (In case you will use a different software):

  • The option for disable Anti-Aliasing
  • Support for transparency
  • Support for layers (Optional, but layers make your life easier)
  • Support for export to .png file
    Requeriments for JSON (In case you will use a different software):
    -Support for save in .json file
    *Sorry for the long text
    In case you want a more detailed software guide

Poll
Altough i am currently also working on non-tree plugins, i will most likely make another tree sooner or later, what would you guys prefer me to do ?

1️⃣ Re-textured Maritime Pine Tree
(I am currently in the landes region so i have real samples at my doorstep to make the best one possibles with correct colors and etc... it will eventually be made this week or the next one tho.)

2️⃣ New Tree Create a new tree
(If you think the current one is good enough, i can make a new tree variant)

Plugin error?

white snow

it's airport vehicles theme

left gale
#

Why "cannot use" ?
Weird... I just killed some lines and "template":"id" of bldg, and voila, it works ...

white snow
#

it also seems that you can't use _ . and/or - this anymore because some plugins like one that I have which is the UN hq won't work until I remove some characters in the json and then another one from the High walls as well

#

I not for sure these are the problems tho. I just found out some plugins that are downloaded from the forum btw won't show like they won't be read by the game

left gale
#

_this is a feature, not a problem

#

It hides the specific file

orchid sorrel
#

if you place a _ before something it gets ignored

#

it always worked like that

#

pretty handy if you ask me

left gale
#

Why "cannot use" ?
Hell, I figure it out... Thanks everyone!

#

Buildings cannot use for composition if they have hide id or final attribute

#

But why? πŸ₯Ί

rain breach
#

Are you trying to secure your plugin from being stolen? If so just encrypt it

left gale
#

Yep, and I'm also using hide id and final for zip files

#

final attribute is useful for me

does anyone know the actual height ratio for the burj khalifa building in pixels?

@echo quartz beyond game limits actually

@storm raft is that the reason it's not on theotown?

west dagger

yes

echo quartz
#

What is the maximum height in theotown for a building?

left gale
#

Actually, you can build much more taller than that... Try reusing it's texture via custom animations, and you can reach a new heights!

#

Look at SWAT HQ as an example... πŸ€—

fyi, final attribute just prevent to other people use your id with override. I don't think someone want to override the plugins.

you don't define frames like that

your frame has graphics for 4 rotations

so it should be

rain gate

yeah

#

the plugins doesn't appear in-game but the sample one

oh, you mean they don't appear in the pkugin store tab?

that's because it's need a plugin.manifest file so you can magaed it in the plugin store

it is not needed, just check where the plugin is

they just don't appear in the building > plugins menu

I've also made an error in the json son the game recognizes and alerts it but nothing happened

just fix the error

the game won't run if any plugin has an error

@rain gate Maybe that's the point

you have to specify the x number
