[keen helm]

thx

it fit very well with french building pack buildings

[chilly mango]

Ja said he can't say cuz privacy reasons

[keen helm]

It was a rethoric question.

But it doesn't change the fact that those kind of plugins are flooding the plugin store.

And it's really annoying for plugins creators who put hard work on plugins to see those being lost in a flood of low quality plugin.

If it was once a month, i wouldn't mind.

But there are more and more of such plugins.

[midnight obsidian]

may i know what is the equivalent of 1 meter in pixels

for theotown

[keen helm]

7 pixels are equal to 4 meters

so, you divide those 7 pixel by 4

1.75 pixels are equal to 1 meter @midnight obsidian

[midnight obsidian]

thanks

[keen helm]

The pixel to meters ratio is pinned on this channel.

[midnight obsidian]

yeah, i know, i was just too lazy to do the math

[keen helm]

Alright, so i'll continue on my European commercial pack

[midnight obsidian]

👌

[keen helm]

There are some buildings from Oslo and Stockholm i want to make later

Are you from an European country ?

[midnight obsidian]

yes

i am from lithuania

[keen helm]

Do you know any building in your town / country that could fit well for a european commercial building pack ?

cause there is a few i liked from Vilnius, Riga and Talinn but any suggestion is welcome.

[chilly mango]

All the stores in my town are in a single shopping center

[fast cave]

Same

[midnight obsidian]

i'm showing the old town of vilnius here

and it's actually a quite popular tourist attraction

[keen helm]

I already took a screenshot of the church for later

[midnight obsidian]

this is a pretty nice building

[sharp dawn]

Pretty original !

I already made a few old Vilnius houses , but never released them

[midnight obsidian]

I already took a screenshot of the church for later
@keen helm this?

[fast cave]

I just remembered that Im using mobile data as ethernet

[keen helm]

that one

[midnight obsidian]

ah

alright

[keen helm]

I am looking at buildings from Stockholm and i'll look at buildings from Helsinki next

There is also a lot of french buildings i want to make.

I want to make the Toulouse capitole and the Oslo Royal Palace someday.

Toulouse Capitole

[midnight obsidian]

wow

that looks awesome

[keen helm]

Yes, i definitely want to make that one someday.

Although i would also like other plugins creators to try that one.

[sharp dawn]

You should do it , i'm too busy with my Normandy stuff

[midnight obsidian]

looking forward to seeing that building in theotown

[untold pumice]

um

i want to make a plugin

road deco

a custom crosswalk

IIIII like that and not the other one with the lines on top and bottom

[keen helm]

Actually, i really think the european commercial pack should be a community project

[untold pumice]

┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)

[sharp dawn]

Yeah , why not

Here a JSON template for road deco plugins :

[keen helm]

Want a fun fact ?

[midnight obsidian]

nice fun fact

[keen helm]

This river is not dirty at all. The reason it is brown is because the current is extremely strong and spoof tons of mud, sand and dirt

It's the fastest large river in France. The gironde

[fast cave]

Ah. nice

[keen helm]

Place de la Bourse, Bordeaux.

Mairie de Paris / Paris Town Hall

[slender briar]

@keen helm thats hot

[midnight obsidian]

anyways, thoughts on this building? kinda feel i got the shading a bit wrong but whatever

ah wait, i noticed that the shadows are a bit wrong

still kinda feel that those shadows on the roof side of the building are wrong but it was a try

thoughts?

[keen helm]

Yes i got thoughts.

First of all the shadow should stay inside the tile

[vapid hull]

In what programm do you work

[midnight obsidian]

thanks thobby

[vapid hull]

Ok

[keen helm]

I quickly made it on my phone to explain what is wrong

@vapid hull the tools i use to create my plugins are Paint.net and Notepad++, both on windows.

[midnight obsidian]

ah, so i suppose that's where the shadows should go

[keen helm]

And i use the steam version of TheoTown which is more creator friendly

[vapid hull]

Interesting

[slender briar]

irst

lets magnify it

[midnight obsidian]

trying to fix the shadows rn

[slender briar]

there

so we can see it

first i think the left side should be a bit brighter

so that the contrast is stronger

and the roof is a bit too bright ,in my opinion

i can give you a complete dissection

constructive criticism

but it might be a lot

@midnight obsidian

[midnight obsidian]

would appreciate if you told me

[slender briar]

dont want to overwhelm you on (i assume) your first one

ok

[keen helm]

It’s your first one ?

[slender briar]

so following ,i think the windows are too close and too small

[midnight obsidian]

it ain't my first one, i've made more in the past

[slender briar]

well the windows are ok but little to no space between them

what i really apreciate is the texturing , so you could overall just make it bigger ,brigth side brighter and the roof a bit more dark

and maybe make the windows color a bit more saturated

this should help i hope

[midnight obsidian]

alright

thanks

[vapid hull]

Did somebody remember that funny undergroud city entrance?

It was uploaded yesterday and now it deleted

[slender briar]

good

[vapid hull]

I think its orginal and after remaking and balancing it would be pretty interesting add

What do you think?

[slender briar]

could

i might do it

cuz it would be pretty ironic

[vapid hull]

Damn i wanted do that

OK i will make A TELEPORT that opens 100000 living places lmao

1*1

For 10 MT

[slender briar]

oh no

i think its forbidden to make op plugins

[livid agate]

yes and no

game can detect op plugins installed

[slender briar]

ayo ja whats up

i need to change my opinion on you so lets talk i guess lmao

[vapid hull]

I need to imrove my english firstly to lead serious disscusions

Whats op

[midnight obsidian]

Overpowered

[vapid hull]

Oh i talked about that

So theese things must be well balanced

[midnight obsidian]

Yes

[vapid hull]

So 100000 people in one resedent building is really too much

[midnight obsidian]

Yup

[slender briar]

y e s

[vapid hull]

But when i saw that strange thing

[slender briar]

@midnight obsidian when you finish the changes to your plugin i'd love to see it

[livid agate]

stadium can't fit that many people

[vapid hull]

8*8 underground

Its amazing

Yeah sure

But its fresh idea

Something unusual

Looks simple but

[livid agate]

been done before but with smaller scale

[pale sapphire]

Its a good idea...

Maybe tho, make it a sewer enterence but can only hold 100 people

(Aka T or Hobos

-)

[midnight obsidian]

space out the windows more, make them more saturated, adjust brightness and fix shadows are the things i have to do

[slender briar]

hmmm

hobo residential lmao

[keen helm]

I got a private plugin that artificially increase workers, inhabitants and school / hospital available rooms/classes.

I didnt use it for a while tho

[vapid hull]

I did sand house and after read rules of plugin publish

So

It was waste of time

[midnight obsidian]

alright, improved plugin

[slender briar]

magnified

lets compare

while the new one looks better lighting and contrast wise

the old one has a bit more realism i think , both are good

its your choice which you preffer now i guess

[midnight obsidian]

hm

[slender briar]

btw this is great , keep doing it

[midnight obsidian]

could try to make a mix of two

[slender briar]

let me get some pics i have

they'll help you a ton

but i need to connect my mouse and stuff brb

im in bet

[vapid hull]

I have a problem...

Bot showcase post my plugin...

Lost

Damn

[slender briar]

he wants to say his plugin didnt show in plugin showcase

its industrial

[vapid hull]

Yes

Help... I will Call in sleep in 15 seconds...

Fall*

[slender briar]

i didnt forget about the pictures rtobby , i have to search or em and i was a bit b00sy

[midnight obsidian]

it's a-ok

[slender briar]

goddamn this is what happens when you have over 20gb of pictures in your download folder

i have pirated games , sprites , random stuff

i need to clean my donwloads folder

these are some of the most relevant tips illustrations i have

@midnight obsidian

[midnight obsidian]

alright

[slender briar]

i think the ones about roof texture and windows would help you

[midnight obsidian]

thanks

[slender briar]

finally finished it ,rome residential building , will be part of new italian pack

fuuuuu

its too big for 2x2 , and too small for 3x3

so i have to add like 10 pixels on each side

tf am i gonna put there

[worn elbow]

How do you get rid of the wall thingy

[tired birch]

Do you know any building in your town / country that could fit well for a european commercial building pack ?
@keen helm Sorry for replying late, but I have some buildings from Buenos Aires that you may like

[sinful meadow]

@worn elbow

[worn elbow]

but it gets rid of the lanes

[sinful meadow]

😕

Just do it

Back the straight lane after this

[worn elbow]

ah okay

I guess it doesnt work with the philippine road

[fast cave]

Emm... Thanks, I will fix the roof with my test house plugin

[sinful meadow]

@worn elbow 👍

[worn elbow]

huh

ill try again

Ty it works now

I was using the outer lanes which is prob why it didnt work

[left gale]

Hello plugin experts, what lua function should I use in order to show dialog box after tapping a certain building.

[sinful meadow]

Kay itsuki

[rain gate]

I got a idea

What if there is a plug on about mining

Like if you have a mine you can make money

Think of it

[sinful meadow]

Already posible

Mining industry

[rain gate]

???

[sinful meadow]

Open pit

[rain gate]

Name

[low loom]

Hello plugin experts, what lua function should I use in order to show dialog box after tapping a certain building.
@left gale

You must include :

function script:click(x,y,level)
showdialog()
return false
end

At the end of the script

I was using the outer lanes which is prob why it didnt work
@worn elbow

There are 2 types of outer lanes you can check it again if you put the right one

[cyan steeple]

Someone pinged me?

[rain gate]

I don’t like the prison expansions

Too much fires

Like too many

[left gale]

I like how the creator implement Lua there

[rain gate]

Wot

[static sail]

He's not talking to you

[vapid hull]

Lol theese planes

I think it must be remade

[left gale]

I think, you need to move your buildings or your airport

[sly ocean]

place the airport in other part of your city

[vapid hull]

Its not my city)

But i think problem in other thing

Wait

Sth like that

And sure If there are high buildings already lane would not be places

Placed

[chilly mango]

if the planes have enough free space next to the runway they wont do that

theyll just cruise up to high altitude and stay there

[vapid hull]

Yes, but i think that planes must not have opportunity to land up so strange

[static sail]

first of all, why did you put tons of skyscraper near to the airport?

[left gale]

#town-square

[fiery elm]

first of all, why did you put tons of skyscraper near to the airport?
@static sail
Yep
Most of them are the same.

[sinful meadow]

Urban planning 0/10

[fiery elm]

Nice start, Rickykingz!

[slender briar]

and work on italian pack will be slower and activity overall lower

[sharp kettle]

How can i import this to pixly

[vapid hull]

?

[sharp kettle]

It was made in pixel studio

I wanna import it to pixly

[vapid hull]

You want edit this house on phone

Oh

Wait

Firstly

This is jpg its bad

It can formate image

[sharp kettle]

I think i got it.

[vapid hull]

Hm

Ok but check extra pexels

Pixels

[sharp kettle]

Wdym

[vapid hull]

jpg formation and softing cause appearing of new pixels

Around of main image

[sharp kettle]

I suck at making plugin

[vapid hull]

Its not plugin problem

[sharp kettle]

Is the pixel size are incorrect?

[vapid hull]

Zoom it

To see single pix

Ok i ll try to make it png

[vapid hull]

Damn

Here is 1 pix

[sharp kettle]

e

[vapid hull]

And look on quality

[sharp kettle]

Should i rebuild it using pixly?

[vapid hull]

Wait

Somebody gave you this image?

Or you did it in pixel studio?

[sharp kettle]

I make it using pixel studio

[vapid hull]

Nice can you open it in pixel studio and save as png file?

After open on phone png image

It would better quality and totally as you did in pixel studio

[sharp kettle]

512x512 px?

[vapid hull]

32*32

[sharp kettle]

The smallest is 256x256

I dont get it.. xd

[vapid hull]

Ok take the lowest

[sharp kettle]

Oof

I hate me

[vapid hull]

I think everything you send in discord going jpg for low size

[midnight obsidian]

@sharp kettle are you on pixly?

[sharp kettle]

I made the house using pixel studio, but since pixel studio isnt really working to make plugin, im trying to make the house on pixly

[midnight obsidian]

once it's on pixly, try cropping it in the settings menu

settings > edit > resize canvas

is that house 1x1?

[sharp kettle]

Ya

Resize to?

[midnight obsidian]

it should be 32 pixels long

and the height is the height of your house

and if the house doesn't fit, which it should fit, then you might have to remake it

[sharp kettle]

Smaller?

[vapid hull]

Lower hight

Width = 32 and hight <= 32must be

Firstly you save file as png drop it on Google disk or usb to phone folder etc

And open it in pixly

[lilac shuttle]

It look different on pixly

Also he need to put on tile

[vapid hull]

Ok i ll try

Wait 2 minutes

[sharp kettle]

Should i start with this?....

[midnight obsidian]

tes

yes

[sharp kettle]

Ah, ok

What about the height tho?

[midnight obsidian]

go wild with it

[vapid hull]

CHIPPER WAIT

I am working on it

[sharp kettle]

Oh, ok

[vapid hull]

I ll send you your house

Ok

Catch it

[sharp kettle]

Help

How do i save this

[vapid hull]

I cant see all screen

[sharp kettle]

Ignore the left screen

[vapid hull]

First idea is try to open full screen and maybe it would be find a button and second one that saving option can be in settings

[sharp kettle]

This the full screen

[vapid hull]

Nice programm

Isnt it in settings?

[sharp kettle]

Ty

Oh

But which button

[vapid hull]

Up and right

[sharp kettle]

Im really scared that im gonna lose the house

[vapid hull]

Dont worry

[sharp kettle]

Which one

[vapid hull]

Its already png picture so you can simple "save"

[sharp kettle]

I got a mesaage

Message*

[vapid hull]

About saving

Or what message

[vapid hull]

Oh it means that last version would be delete

[slender briar]

[sharp kettle]

@midnight obsidian where is it?

[midnight obsidian]

forums

[vapid hull]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2965

[sharp kettle]

So.. uhh i think i did the json thing

I dont know if its correct ;-;

[vapid hull]

Wait

[sharp kettle]

Im still pretty confused

[vapid hull]

Id must start with $

[sharp kettle]

But thats what i see from the video

[vapid hull]

Check this moment again

Id starts with $ and it must look like $1x1.sample

[sharp kettle]

The 1x1 is the house

[vapid hull]

Wdym

You can name id as you want

[sharp kettle]

I dont underatand either...

;-;

[vapid hull]

But $ gives game opportunity to understand what is it

Ok

Here

[sharp kettle]

Do i click plugin creator?

[chilly mango]

It doesn't need to but its standard for all ids in the base game

[sharp kettle]

I never understand.. ;-;

[chilly mango]

If you have the JSON and the frames you can just put them into a zip and upload

[fast cave]

For security, I recommend convert it to .plugin file

[keen helm]

2 current olive trees variants

dont be surprised if the leaves are quite bright, it's normal.

Although if it doesn't fit, those are fairly small trees so it's fairly easy to edit

doesn't look too bad, ngl

could be better so i'll try some different variants

it looks better with more contrast

but do you guys know what look even better ?

the new preview frames for trees

[midnight obsidian]

@keen helm add a seperate variant that won't spawn in with the basic variants where there's a basket full of olives

[keen helm]

an industrial variant ?

that can be done.

Fairly easily actually.

Perhaps even with an income or idk.

[midnight obsidian]

more of a decoration variant but industrial could work, i'd suggest making it a farm though

[keen helm]

Yes, farms are industrials in-game tho

[midnight obsidian]

yeah

[keen helm]

But do you like the preview frames ? @midnight obsidian

[midnight obsidian]

looks nice

[keen helm]

Cause i really love those and i'll now make all my trees plugins that way.

[midnight obsidian]

i like it

[keen helm]

tbh, i feel like it's better than vanilla preview frames for tree

[midnight obsidian]

petition to change all in game tree preview frames to something like thobby does

[keen helm]

exactly ! x)

so, the preview frame is nice but i will likely remake the trees

not today tho.

I am a bit tired.

cya.

[midnight obsidian]

cya

[vapid hull]

Lmao

I also balanced it

What do you think is it total bullshit to try load it

Its worse than classic water tower of producing

But it doesnt need road

Sometimes it useful

Oh lol

[rain gate]

it's hard to do i know lol

[lilac shuttle]

Yes

[sharp kettle]

I still cant even make a plugin yet lol

[rain gate]

oh

[sharp kettle]

Its confusing for me

Also, i recreated it using pixly

[rain gate]

what plugin is this?

[sharp kettle]

I think he made it

[rain gate]

A bottle water tower I suspect?

lol

[lilac shuttle]

How this look

[sharp kettle]

Try making the reflection blury

Rip my english

[lilac shuttle]

Y'all killing me

[sharp kettle]

Xd

Is that 2x2 or 3x3

[lilac shuttle]

3x3

[sharp kettle]

Looks better

[sinful meadow]

Need noise, shadow, reflection

[rain gate]

yes

i agree

[lilac shuttle]

I haven't added noise yet

[sinful meadow]

[sinful meadow]

Ggwp

[chilly mango]

i dont get fun attributes

[low loom]

@chilly mango

In Which directory should i put my music file if i do play sounds with lua? Is it in the same directory?

[chilly mango]

i think you have to make a draft for it with json

not sure what the tags for that would be though

[cedar marten]

[chilly mango]

hang on i got a plugin that does it lemme check\

@low loom ```json
{
"id":"bluepickle.plugin.meme.song",
"type":"sound",
"file":"file.mp3",
"volume":1.0
},

for the plugin its in the same directory

[livid agate]

[chilly mango]

shhhhh

[lilac shuttle]

Can someone tell me how can I get the height of this building pls

[chilly mango]

In metres or pixels

[lilac shuttle]

I'm add light to it

[chilly mango]

Ah then you need the handle

[lilac shuttle]

Yea

You know how I can get the height

[low loom]

@low loom ```json
{
"id":"bluepickle.plugin.meme.song",
"type":"sound",
"file":"file.mp3",
"volume":1.0
},

@chilly mango

I do TheoTown.playSound() but it only plays the first 1 second of the music

[chilly mango]

if you want it to come from a certain point in the map you should use city.playsound

in the code i got on hand it just keeps playing until .stop is called on the object

are you putting the return of .playsound in a variable?

[low loom]

Yed

TheoTown.playSound(Draft.getDraft(""),1,true)

[sharp kettle]

Water bottle

[chilly mango]

ye but are you doing song = Theotown.playsount(etc)

cuz you can use the variable to stop the song

[low loom]

In my script :

sound = Draft.getDraft("")
 function script:enterCity()
TheoTown.plauSound(sound,1,true)
end

Can you send me the full documentary about playsound if you know @chilly mango not in lua API

[chilly mango]

ill send the plugin in a dm

[low loom]

Why if i put true(loop boolean) it always loop for the first 1 second of the music

[chilly mango]

i think because you dont put the return in a function it gets discarded by the garbage collector

[lilac shuttle]

How do I get the height of this pls

Anyone

[low loom]

What height

Height of the entire building?

[lilac shuttle]

Yea I want to add light to it

[zenith stream]

@lilac shuttle how you edit that

I need a Bildung pic for my mod
I

[steady harness]

Have some work done today again

[lilac shuttle]

Can somebody tell me how to get the height of my plugin so I can add light to it to upload to the store

[steady harness]

Everything under the red line is -y and everything above is y

@lilac shuttle

Red line in Middle of base is 0

[low loom]

@lua expert anyone? Does the game support lpeg? Like:

local lpeg = require 'lpeg'
```?

[lilac shuttle]

Ok

[chilly mango]

@low loom game only supports mp3 cuz of multiplatform

[keen helm]

Updated Olive Tree Texture.

[low loom]

I think that's too softy

[sinful meadow]

Ofcourse cause that is pexel png

[keen helm]

I will likely remake all the olive trees.

[sinful meadow]

????

[keen helm]

New variant of the olive tree

It's much better than the previous one

[empty night]

You can do it

Just check pins on how to do so

[signal lagoon]

????
@sinful meadow
private plugin.

[keen helm]

I think it is now looking like i want it to look.

[sly ocean]

????
@sinful meadow plugin for tests

[cyan steeple]

I was just gonna say, if it's published by JA, it's prolly a test

[chilly mango]

hes probs messing about with the bot

[vapid hull]

Damn i am so tired of making this

Its not the end

I need 2 hours to make shadows and softness for better view

[sinful meadow]

I know that was ugly

[west dagger]

Use less neon colors maybe

[grim meteor]

How do you make plugins?

@sinful meadow

[empty night]

check pins

[chilly mango]

Did my message get removed?

[lilac shuttle]

Can someone DM me all missing building that need to be added to the games

Maybe I try to make them as plugin

Pls

I Don't Know Any Old Stuff Because I Played This Game In 2020

[slender grail]

Sorry mahn,you weren't through the struggle

You should have joined when it was new,you could have appreciated the current features,then THEOTOWN 66 changed it all and it was all worth it🤤

[stoic palm]

@slender grail if you have an issue with region owners don't play online mode...

Or don't play in their regions

It's their region you are simply playing in it, and that is your choice

[slender grail]

Okay,I'll try playing in other regions

Someone should make a d-day plug in.

[stoic palm]

Creators don't take requests

and this isn't a war sim

[sweet topaz]

Lmao

[slender grail]

Lol

[rain gate]

There is already a day-night cycle button in the game, @rain gate.

[midnight obsidian]

@rain gate d-day is a game of some sorts i suppose, not day/night cycle stuff

[rain gate]

Oh, alright then.

D-day is the battle normandy france, with the allies and axis.

[static sail]

making d-day plugin sounds stupid ngl

[livid agate]

D for doom and day for day

[rain gate]

The code or the Json file for this house just doesn't work. can someone have advice and help

[chilly mango]

Get rid of all the \" in there

You probably entered the "'s in the plugin creator too and it added them on top

[chilly mango]

also theres a bunch of tags that arent really needed

[solar ingot]

Is there a plugin that is a recycling plant because I would love to add one to my city

[sharp dawn]

There's none due to in-game restrictions

We could make a "fake" looking one , but it won't act as a proper in-game trash facility

[chilly mango]

Yeah trash disposal is a privileged function for plugins so most creators can't use it

[sinful meadow]

Sad

[chilly mango]

trusted plugin creators can make them but theres no guidelines about their pricing and stuff

[sinful meadow]

Yah

[chilly mango]

so im geussing nobody wants to risk it

[sinful meadow]

Some of trusted creator can use code like free tunnel

[chilly mango]

thats a good way to get your code invalidated

im not taking that risk

[sinful meadow]

I hope some of code can be seen in public like bus

[chilly mango]

priveliged key doesnt unlock anything related to bus system

*as far as is documented

its only really for a couple specific cases

and some lua functions

[fair sand]

I forgot the name so maybe someone have this plugin:
A park plugin that let's you place paths and make custom sized parks.

[empty night]

I think it's a plugin cmade by mdk

i don't remeber the name exacly, but you can find it in the forums

[fair sand]

Any decal packs you could recommend?

[empty night]

Probably the decals from Josh

[fair sand]

Plugin name?

[empty night]

just check the forums, there a bunch of them

[chilly mango]

@rain gate you can use Tile.getInfluence(Tile.INFLUENCE_POLLUTION, x, y)

and do some maths to get it for an area

[slender briar]

i aproved like 50 new users in a theotown group jesus christ , moderators dead

jaysuus

and lmao all of them were from asia

[rain gate]

someone should make falling leaves from trees for fall or winter

[chilly mango]

also @rain gate see https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=115&t=12183 it has an example of a progress bar using ninepatch

[rain gate]

I mean a circular progressbar, @chilly mango

[slender grail]

So which is the most downloaded plugin

[chilly mango]

ah

[slender grail]

Is it diagonal road?

[chilly mango]

yes

technically its dsa tho

[slender grail]

I thought DSA was a plugin then was inputted into the game

[chilly mango]

well yes

but ja made it so its in the base game

[slender grail]

Oooh so it's kinda both

[chilly mango]

the game lists it as a plugin

but its more integrated with the game than you can make with a plugin

[slender grail]

Ooh.Thanks

[signal lagoon]

City.polution (x, y[, z[, w]])
Returns a pollution value for the specified coordinates.
Parameters:
• x: number
• y: number
• z: number (optional)
• w: number (optional)
Returns:
(number) Ranges from -1 to 1
@rain gate

you can use Tile.getInfluence(influenceType,x,y)

local pollution = Tile.getInfluence(INFLUENCE_POLLUTION,x,y) -- x and y must be set into building or road coordinates.
Debug.toast(tostring(pollution))```

[chilly mango]

Shouldn't you use Tile.INFLUENCE_POLLUTION?

[hybrid sedge]

SHould i Complete my Road dEcO sEt

[sinful meadow]

@signal lagoon your light can support pos animation and fence animation?

[orchid sorrel]

fence animations aren't supported generally

[sinful meadow]

Idk back to old problem

[mortal anchor]

You did not open keys

[sinful meadow]

Ahhh yeh

After 1 few months whithout this

[cinder salmon]

Does anyone know if there are actual multi-lane highway plugins where traffic actually uses more than 2 lanes in one direction?

[stoic palm]

There are quite a few

[cinder salmon]

The ones I have tried all have the same problem where only the outer-most tile is used by traffic, unless you manually add "cross-overs" but then you get a bunch of intersections which makes traffic worse

[orchid sorrel]

where traffic actually uses more than 2 lanes in one direction
this can't be guaranteed

that's how cars work currently

[cinder salmon]

that's how cars work currently

Yeah, thought it might be a game limitation

So I guess the best way to proceed is to have regular (2 lanes each direction) highways split before each intersection with one part of the highway being used for through traffic and the second part used to acces the intersection?

[stoic palm]

I would say that's most likely to get the effect you want

[sinful meadow]

Its possible to pickup passengers in train station by using car?

[orchid sorrel]

@sinful meadow that's not how things work, vehicles don't pick up anybody if I'm correct

[clever kite]

What app can you code with on andriod

[sinful meadow]

I use an writer

[orchid sorrel]

you can use the plugin creator website if you don't want to learn json

otherwise use any other text file editor

[sinful meadow]

Can I extend the sound click

Longer than 5 seconds?

????

[chilly mango]

bad json?

[sinful meadow]

But this is running

[left gale]

I can't understand ...

[sinful meadow]

Did you try to
Quit and back

[left gale]

Yep

[sharp kettle]

Maybe Not enough watter supply?

[low loom]

[sinful meadow]

What

Yah

[0,1,2,3,...,]

[lilac shuttle]

How this @orchid sorrel

[cyan steeple]

whats the order for rotation aware buildings? or is it just preference

[orchid sorrel]

I meant that the side should have the same color as the lower walls

also I think rotation awares are counterclockwise

[cyan steeple]

Alrighty

[lilac shuttle]

Ok

[chilly mango]

Roof needs a little bit of overhang

[lilac shuttle]

[low loom]

Can someone know how to close the type:tool draft automatically after it's usage without clicking the "CANCEL" Button?
@low loom

I need help here :/

It's really tricky for me i used tool.close() just guessing that it will work but isn't 😁

[chilly mango]

idk

i tried to make a button to enter a tool but i got stuck there too

i hope they make the lua docs more complete soon

[low loom]

i tried to make a button to enter a tool but i got stuck there too
@chilly mango

This works for me but still stuck how to close it not by the cancel button

You can use

City.createDraftDrawer(draft).select()

For that @chilly mango 🙂

[hard birch]

Can someone make a 1x1 bucket brigade plugin for medieval and isolated cities. It would have fire influence. Maybe a small water tower or something. Thanks.

[lilac shuttle]

Can someone tell if this right pls

[chilly mango]

ah nice

[lilac shuttle]

y: -19 x: 0

For my night animation

Pls

[chilly mango]

@low loom pretty sure i was warned by ja not to call createdraftdrawer too often

you might wanna cache some of that stuff

or consult ja about it

[lilac shuttle]

Is my coords right anybody

[orchid sorrel]

depends on which frame do you want to use

[lilac shuttle]

Who me

[empty night]

you should really add texture into the walls and the roof

[orchid sorrel]

and the night anim...

[static sail]

I'm fine with those texture on the wall and the roof but that night animation texture is too yucky

[empty night]

ground lacks texture, other than that, it's ok

[static sail]

now

that looks great

[empty night]

yeah, it looks quite good now

[rain gate]

@lilac shuttle what app do you use to create plugins?

[fast cave]

Pixly I think, you can see apps for making plugins in the pins

[lilac shuttle]

Pixly

[signal lagoon]

Can someone know how to close the type:tool draft automatically after it's usage without clicking the "CANCEL" Button?
@low loom

I don't know about what condition of the "usage", to close tool you can do like this :

-- any conditions
  GUI.get'cmdCloseTool':click()```


> i tried to make a button to enter a tool but i got stuck there too
@chilly mango 

you can do like this :
```lua
parent:addButton{
  onClick = function()
    if City.createDraftDrawer(draft):isSelectable() then  -- optional condition
      City.createDraftDrawer(draft).select()
    end
  end
}```

[chilly mango]

Ah nice cheers

[low loom]

@low loom pretty sure i was warned by ja not to call createdraftdrawer too often
@chilly mango

Ohh... I just saw this from lobby and themax tree planter tool

[shut quail]

Guys

What if you wrote a desc on the web when submitting a plugin but its different from the json will it be ok ?

Also the title

Different title than the one on the json

[low loom]

you can do like this :

parent:addButton{
  onClick = function()
    if City.createDraftDrawer(draft):isSelectable() then  -- optional condition
      City.createDraftDrawer(draft).select()
    end
  end
}```

@signal lagoon Do we really need to used "isSelectable()" Before ".select()"?

What if you wrote a desc on the web when submitting a plugin but its different from the json will it be ok ?
@shut quail

Yes but make sure it is the same what you pointed out

[shut quail]

Ok thx

[chilly mango]

yeah maybe put city.createdraftdrawer into a variable so you dont have to recreate it all the time

[shut quail]

Uh ummm

Im not using lua

[hybrid sedge]

i added this road to my road set some time ago

[rain gate]

Can i do plugins on phone aswell ?

[empty night]

yes

[rain gate]

Cool, do i need to download something or?

[empty night]

yeah, check the pins on how to do them

[shut quail]

I did the ice cream truck plugin on my phone

If u dont know im the creator of it

[signal lagoon]

Do we really need to used "isSelectable()" Before ".select()"?
@low loom

optional.

[chilly mango]

Pretty sure that function is now the same as doing

Draft.isUnlocked()

But without the spicy memory leak

[light basin]

Hello, may I ask why the mods are taking too long to check new plugins?

[stoic palm]

Watch the caps.

The mods are people too

[shut quail]

Usually in a matter of 8 hours they would approve it

Well ill wait then

[rain gate]

[static sail]

@shut quail

@rain gate COPYRIGHT
@shut quail I will do it anyways.

[solar ingot]

Wounder if there is a copy and paste plugin would make it cover areas

[chilly mango]

[sly ocean]

these palm trees were created by theo and lobby

[rain gate]

ah, alright

[sly ocean]

you can use them for making plugins

[rain gate]

alright them.

[severe sorrel]

There should be more Soviet-style panel houses though.

[stoic palm]

Plugin creators don't take suggestions, I suggest you try and make it yourself

[severe sorrel]

I know there is a pack for ones from Russia and some buildings from Budapest,

Yeah i tried and i should try again sometime

[chilly mango]

There's a bunch out already

[shut quail]

@static sail LOL

soviet jokes is stupid as hell

[shut quail]

Wth

[static sail]

sorry to break you up but it is true

[shut quail]

Well fine

[rain gate]

A crazy idea, but I like it. I could add truck building transport in TT.

[sharp kettle]

Wha.. the

[modest blaze]

It's common here

When the houses are easy to remove and aren't that heavy it can be moved

[sly ocean]

common where?

bc i never saw these things here

[rain gate]

In South Region yes.

@sly ocean

[fast cave]

Emmm.... yeah

[sly ocean]

oh

[rain gate]

Especially in Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.

[fast cave]

But at least here, not like that

[sly ocean]

well, i never left northwest region sooo

[rain gate]

Oh, by what I know most of wooden houses could be moved... But it depends of location and money of course.

In hills it couldn't be moved.

[fast cave]

No, I mean, yeah you can move it, but the process is not like the photo 😅

[sly ocean]

i never saw a wooden house, i think

[fast cave]

Here is common see wooden houses everywhere

[rain gate]

Yes.

or this

[sharp kettle]

.

What a strong roof

[sly ocean]

i live in a very hot part of Brazil, so people barely build wooden houses here

[rain gate]

imagine transport a big mansion in a helicopter

lol

[fast cave]

Lol, that is 0% common here

[rain gate]

here also

it's extremly rare to see that

[fast cave]

I never saw something like that

[rain gate]

look this

[fast cave]

Emmm...

[rain gate]

not here

but i found interesting

[fast cave]

No, not common here

[rain gate]

i keep wondering how a truck can stand a big house

[fast cave]

Here we have "pre-fabricated" homes, or sometimes wooden homes that you can move it I think, but with huge trucks

Imagine traveling for your entire city in a helicopter

[rain gate]

Yes, here too. Until I know there is no a way to transport brick houses.

[fast cave]

In the comfort of your home

[rain gate]

See what UP Movie says. 🙂

o_o

[rain gate]

🙂

[sharp kettle]

@rain gate can u make plugins?

[rain gate]

yes

[fast cave]

Emm... Im still thinking about animations, I mean, dynamic animations

But the issue that Im investigating is about performance

[slender briar]

american houses are basically made out of drywall and wood ,not brick and cement like in europe , so they can just pick em up and haul em , its weird

and they wonder why tornadoes destroy em

[sharp kettle]

Oh

[slender briar]

american houses are basically wooden frame isolation and drywood ,while european are cemented into the ground so you can't separate it ever

lmao a street in my hometown in romania is on wikipedia in the house page

[sharp kettle]

Oof

[fringe pasture]

Hey guys

Can you help me pls

Im just new in making plugins

[hybrid sedge]

show code

[chilly mango]

your plugin must define a type

if you want to make a house it needs to be type:"residential"

[hybrid sedge]

oi erk man

[chilly mango]

oi

[fringe pasture]

[
{
"frames":[
{
"bmp":"lll.png"
}
],
"Height":4,
"id":"lll.house",
"Type":"residential",
"Weigh":4
}
]

I used json maker idk if it helps

Or is it the right way

[hybrid sedge]

why not json genie ?

jk

[chilly mango]

tags should not be capitalized

also weigh isnt a valid tag

[hybrid sedge]

you have hight , weight

no caps

[chilly mango]

also type needs to be lowercase

[hybrid sedge]

height
