It does kinda
red is my favorite
Blue is my fav even tho the windows have the tint
i like more red
I just can't wait for the pack to come out altogether
three of them looks fine
I'm currently working on this corner commercial plugin.
Based in commercial stores in my state.
You really like to make 2x2 do you?
2x2 is the perfect size for plugins
Yeah I can see from all the plugins you've made
Once a time I re-did this mansion made by Rockfort, he gave me permission to do it.
but the colors are wrong ๐ฆ
That looks like the mansion that's comes with the game already
You can release it if you want
Just make sure to mention me for original idea ๐
Because it is
Oh
rock has a detail packed kinda style
Lobby reworked it
i never understood how you can do so much detail and not feel like cutting some pixels away
Actually , i don't know
sometimes it feels cramped
same
especially around windows
i can't stand making windows something else than flat blue
It looks good to me !
Pixel bit I love your plugins
thank you guys ๐
Your welcome
Welcome
my style a bit more zoomed out
I think your current style is epic Kek
I have this big plugin, but I don't know what do
it is a brazilian public school
i need to remake it
I have it
!
i removed from plugin store
But plz make it more useful.Like can it have students
and forum
Why
because of it
no students
i am trying to remake it
thank you roque @sharp dawn
@rain gate I loved it btw.I hope the remake is better
No wonder I couldn't find it
i will do in future
Everything is good
At first , i thought it was some kind of shopping mall
lol
Yeah it's already perfect
Lol
Same
@rain gate colors in your plugins are a bit washed out tbh
our modern br public schools are like this
Yeah
There's not a lot to improve actually , maybe a little more detailing , especially on windows
Word
?
Where is that?
In Assaรญ, Paranรก, Brazil.
Oh cool
looks like an encampment
that road ends to a wall
Yes, this is a problem in many cities here...
Don't even think about it
looks fine as is
Ill kill you if you make them brighter
i used your brazillian houses pack extensively
Me too,they look pretty suburban that's y I use them
yea same
Same
good ๐
lol XD
So do u use the PCA or write your own json
Json?
Its a type of code
Oh
I only write my own JSON, since PCA haven't all the functions i need
But maybe its was improved , idk
Okay , good luck with that !
9/10
9/10
Thanks
@slender grail are icons/custom icons can also used in button selection?
so i would say for that 8/10
I don't think so
What are these pencil icons with null Content?
Dr.DeRoqueForbrizol thanks
Those are replies
That's probably for your phone
Mine doesn't have it
Or mine is too narrow so it can't appear.
I need help here
local line = addLine('Button selection:', 26)
local widthPerButton = (line:getClientWidth() - 3) / 3
local function addSelectionButton(text, state)
line:addButton{
width = widthPerButton,
text = text,
onClick = function(self) buttonValue = state end,
isPressed = function() return buttonValue == state end
}
end
addSelectionButton('A', 'A')
addSelectionButton('B', 'B')
addSelectionButton('C', 'C')
Im clueless how can i put icons instead of texts in buttons :/
Wtf is that
I thought you're Ian
@stoic palm do you know what that is
Oof
Nope.Sorry
I think i need to update this app
Update it,if it doesn't go away.Idk the problem
my guess it is on your side
I need help here
local line = addLine('Button selection:', 26) local widthPerButton = (line:getClientWidth() - 3) / 3 local function addSelectionButton(text, state) line:addButton{ width = widthPerButton, text = text, onClick = function(self) buttonValue = state end, isPressed = function() return buttonValue == state end } end addSelectionButton('A', 'A') addSelectionButton('B', 'B') addSelectionButton('C', 'C')Im clueless how can i put icons instead of texts in buttons :/
Somebody would help me here?
Is it like.. coding* (lua)
Or is he making a plug-in
I now but my problem is how can i put custom icons in these selection buttons
Btw nvm
Why
buttons have a icon attribute
so in addButton you can do icon = [your icon]
if you want a custom icon you can also put a frame in there
i wanna ask what code will i put so that i could be able to put road decos on the road
look on forum for that
Cool
Is that gonna be part of a pack?
Ok. Is it finished and is it on the plugin store?
Nicee
Thank you. ๐
Love it
He said remake
So it's a new one ithnk
Oh ok
Yes.
It's a remake for my Brazilian Commercial Pack.
Alright then. :)
I think I have it
Do you liked the variants?
Good.
Yeas they are cool
Good
I'll send a in-game result asap
Okay,hurry then
i'll take my time but you should see the in-game result a bit later today.
What do I do with the old building pack if it there is an updated one?
Oh ok
Looks lit
All of those are commercial buildings i made
You got a sushi shop, a mall, a restaurant, a bakery and an english tailor shop
Pretty good
soon โข๏ธ
i will be releasing an mega road plugin
I hope it will be good
Any spoilers for that road plugin ?
I think I passed a road plugin
I think it was your plugin it has 25000 downloads
What is it called?
Chill I find it
look nice
once thats done ill be adding my other sets into it
are those roads made for decals ?
so military road , road expansion pack will be merged with it
yes
Now i can say this building is complete.
Nice
I guess that makes sense
Ok
Does it come with a building pack?
it's part of the Commercial Expansion pack
which features a lot of European style commercial buildings
Oh
Thnx
Can you get it free with ads or do you need the diamonds?
So I just solved the traffic issue near the education complex
Ads eat alot of data
Oh?
I'll download them
Oh that's why I couldn't find it
That's understandable
No prob,just continue making em'
what this mean?
It means two copys of the plugin
ah okay. Yeah I remember installing one but I never got it setup. Ill look for it
Just a preview for now im working on the slot machine
I'll be waiting for it
I have downloaded so many road plugins
nice
erk want to help me with some pain
So september was a very terrible month for plugins.Since only 44 of them were uploaded in that month
what kind of pain
making the highway expantion invis
easy money?
Ooooo
Oh nice
diagonal guardrails
Nice
i remember making guard rails for you Evan
Looking good
I'll download it when it comes out
It's now on the store and the forums
The name please
Diagonal guardrails.Nvm
Tell me the plugins name
Oh thanks
Pftt...those are rookie numbers
Oh pog
im to tired to do 6x roads for an highway
4x invis with 1 jc3 road , 7 road pack roads
So Montemarino is still participating in theotown activities or has he moved to another game
Could you tell me in private how you make them? I am curious to make some fences.
:)
same
my older jc3 road is also included in this pack
but any road suggestion before i upload this pain
@tired birch @rain gate it isn't an actually a fence just a decoration
However I am trying to obtain the fence code to make it work like an actual fence
Nice
In game picture of my wip plugin
๐
Is it possible to build 9x9?
And there is a plugin that is 20x20
only coding an plugin higher then 8x8 is a bit harder
it only doesnt work for RCI
It is possible to build a 9x9 plugin
yes
But it may not work as an RCI
anything besides RCI can use an bigger template then 8x8
Residential Commercial Industrial
aka everything that spawns in zones
making buildings bigger than 8*8 is a terrible idea anyways
The first major update of the commercial plugin pack will feature buildings from one of the following cities :
1๏ธโฃ Bordeaux
2๏ธโฃ Toulouse
Any city you would like featured in the future in the mod ?
MUMBAI !! @keen helm
wow chill ^^
no need to ping, i will read the suggestions ^^
Right now, i can guarantee you will see the following buildings :
Okk Sorry but yes try for Indian Commercial Buildings of New Delhi or Mumbai
2-3 french bakery
1-2 restaurants
2-4 hotels
1-2 Wine shops
and a few other cultural building such as theaters, cinema or even an opera.
tho i would most likely keep the cultural buildings in a separate plugin
Should I give you a suggestion for 1 Hotel in Mumbai and a Royal Theater of Jaipur City
This is the kind of buildings Bordeaux have and which will be included in the plugin.
and those are the kind of buildings we got in Toulouse
looks beautiful
Try for this and let me know ..if you are not gonna make this I will try for this
I'll try those kind of buildings someday.
Okk
But rn, my pack mostly focus on Europe, tho those look nice so i'll definitely make one of those someday.
Okk !! Europeans!!!๐ But yes these buildings which I showed are made by architects of UK
But Great I hope you make great buildings
Oooo
zoomed variant
Okk great
Well actually.
This building is a mix of some buildings from both Paris & Stockholm.
Ya i can see
It depends, i use 'ian animation tool which makes it really easy.
Both have almost same architecture
but without that tool, it can quickly become hard to do so.
How do you use Ian 's tool
I wish there's more nordics building plugin in the future
I m having problem with using that tool
Lovely
for each buildings, it took me around 30 minutes for the light anims.
Themax you should make a YouTube video for a tutorial on it
I could do that.
Also, most buildings use both vanilla & custom night animations.
Hmm yess
And this plugin is one of the few to use a new kind of art-style for the light animations & windows for the buildings.
But still I face problems
@next pendant i'll see what i can do to help you.
Ok Thanks
Message me privately if you have any solutions
And yes I need help with the train plugins made by me
If i make any tutorial, i'll try to make it accessible to all plugins creators.
See if you can help me with the json
Yes thanks
Alright, rn i have to get back to work so i'll see later.
sizes > 8 shouldn't even be allowed anymore
BR Commercial Pack is almost finished. Now I need to put the lights.
Only a handful of > 8x8 buildings are good.
btw sorry for the ping, i forgot to turn it off.
Just got an idea
And this is a spoiler
Might make a building like that one
The canelรฉs are among the world best pastries.
Buenos Aires has European-style buildings that you would like :)
There are a few that i indeed liked
right now, i got 3 cities that are really interesting and got some of the best architecture in the world.
for my art-style / plugin at least
Bordeaux, Lilles & Toulouse.
oh ok
But Buenos Aires is planned ๐
In fact, it's one of the city with some of the most interesting buildings i found.
yes, if you want I can help you with some ideas ;)
Casa Cafรฉ, it's my first pixel art, be honest
Quero Criar Um Plugin, Mas Estou Sem Idรฉia, VCs Podem Me Ajudar?

funfact: the lenght of a side of a 1x1 tile is approximately 14 meters
I love when people downvote a plugin because it's not what they expected, even though it never states what they think it will be
Word
Me with my cinematic camera tool
57% rating
More downloads than decoletter tool tho
Turns out buildings get way more downloads than tools
You have my diamonds
thanks
Nice
turns out people just want massive towers
Maybe add some ac to the roof?
Building looks awesome. Does it come in a building pack?
Yeah, the roof needs some stuff
Big tower

exactly
Ian's light tool is at like 60% rating too
towers and airplanes get massive downloads and it annoys me
I prefer low buildings cuz im not gonna put skyscrapers on the side of the airport.
Yeah it's kinda wack
why airplanes get so many downloads?
Idk maybe people care a lot about airports
All they are are reskins
When my water tower with questionable graphics gets 5 times more downloads
everybody gangsta until 3 plugins use up all texture space
airplanes are about as easy as flags to make
Kinda wanna use lua drawing to make a building that always goes offscreen
It will always be the biggest
lmao do it
I think you shouldn't use animations either just to eat their plugin space
However, it looks like its finished lol
Lol
Issue with using plugin space is that it's got a limit
erk gib me an road suggestion
Also on big maps it might not tall enough
no, you can't just do that 
just stream netflix at 144p
Make billboards from it
Billboards to play video
Oh wait drawing works on fixed positionson screen
I gotta draw it relative to building location
Probs a thing for that though
this road looks ugly af
Hmm
we already have plastic bike lines in some areas
Is it recycled plastic
yes
how does it handle fire?
idk
how does it handle environmental degradation and the pollution of microplastics?
Imagine it melting and entered the water under it
Plugin packs
imagine
dsa
decent taste, horrible execution
Bike lane decoration
Ah yes... wait, isnt DSA plugin included in the game?
why would i make an bike lane
yes and no
DSA preview image be like
I can dynamically update it
Bike lane fence when
i need the fence code
it was 1920x1080 before
You wanted suggestions
true
4k when
TheoTown 3
Actually that sounds like it would bring in hella downloads
hm
Imagine
but vectors are bland
Tru
i can upload my united road set today
Look at this duuude
Ah
Where did those come from anyways
My face
Time to make another plugin
Fair
erk i will make you the bike lane road but it will look like plastic
just you wait before I release my 20 gb json file TheoTown plugin project
huh
Maybe this one won't get downvoted massively
Isn't that just the rocket launch animation from dsa
Pdm @livid agate rework builder and plugin creator roles
Message to Abc#0001 was sent succesfully
that is 500 kilobytes
not much
and i have the fence code
bit honest work
time to make more pain
So do I
Needs more chars
unlike you evan i have the frames already complete
the frames are an year old now
only a year old?
Pidroid frames are still misaligned and 2 years old
I'm gonna DM Ttownlover to see if I can use his graphics for the bike lane
Emmm.. Im thinking... the oldest thing in the game is the ground texture?
The ground texture got updated
Ah
evan rate this uncoded fence
Dirt road is old isn't it
5/10
a yes
im to lazy to make fences
so is West Virginia
yes
@hybrid sedge attempt one
a yes
finished
I don't think the shadow of that small roof access bit would stretch across the entire roof
How do u change the background when your using pixly
hm yes reuploading three plugins for once:true
What is this plugin exactly?
It's a bicycle lane
Oh
but instead of taking a full tile it's a fence
Are there bike sprites with it?
Evan why are the guard rails manual-build
because it's not a line tool?
Wait is it totally possible that you can send a bot a friend request?
Oh
It will snob you so baddddd
What?
and you can said it one but it won't accept it
Oh
but there are none yet
Ok
What are the names?
since there in pending you cant find them
Road Pack , United Road Set with all my roads , Just cause 3 military road but download the Set instead
or install all
Ok
Any ideas how to fit that top right edge?
Well if you look at where they intersect you can see it's off by some
then hm
Any Opinions?
Nicee
thx
That is 100 times better
Looks like a could spam a few down and call it a city aka itโs cool
the door tho
@left gale man, i just wanna say that i love you new monorial plugin, ive been using it a lot on the big airport terminal entrances like in rich city

xd
Someone working on cyberpunk?
Woah
All about 15th century to 19th but the housed I've created looks rusted
Yes
Actually I've been thinking if i will release it in store
Lot's of users doesn't read the whole description and ending up complaining :/
That's much
Btw it was entitled :"Age of Sail"
Ah yes i guess it could be
Lol anyone want low prices
i got plenty of diamonds to throw around
Even mine
I have alot of diamond but i dont fell like spending it on anything big ;-;
I don't even know what I've gonna do to my 139k diamonds im too lazy to claim 10k each
Maybe it has some in the description?
Is it meant to be builded on top of road?
Yes, it's actually a null bridge that has road deco as tracks
I gonna tell him that lots need some brief tutorial
@left gale
He's my co member... Maybe the founder of Tphil Corp
Yes
Hoy!!!
Tutorial daq gawa ka
Sige ba...
Pero mamaya na yan sugal muna tayo
Rank?
Nvm
Plugin ??? Wth
Make some Monorial tutorials
When will I get Plugin Novice role ... ๐ค
looks like theyre overhauling that right now
I'm thinking for it
when I come up with nice names and great criteria
Awesome!
pretty sure there was novice, advanced and expert
and intermediate
not anymore there isn't
pickle, Pickle, PICKLED
There was a reset about roles?
yes
whoah
At least acceptable amount of quality... Good to hear that
Not bad
not acceptable
One creator can create godly looking plugins but won't know fun or lua so therefore plugin begineer
Won't make sense
or theres me with plugin advanced with literally 3 plugins
can relate
no you can't
damn it feels good to be good at plugins
I agreed
you have no roles anymore
at least i got snowman
cheers
he doesn't either 
is that a ducking speed module
but he is snowman
Wait, what guidelines did you get that snowman role huh
buying it

No, but this is
like a week ago it was spook
Suspicious

Monica's husbando
yes
Btw which manga/anime does monica exist?
I heard that it has some episodes
I keep seeing this image in my head while thinking of the plugin creator role guidelines
https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/896/209/509.png
What's tbh mean?
To be honest
Oh thanks
DSA.getSupplies() --returns the amount of supplies the DSA rocket launcher has
Dsa supplies uses fun not lua
@rain gate
Actually DSA uses Lua, Fun transitions and Java together.
But the supplies
Supplies use Lua and Fun
the average lua enjoyer
fun is only used for display of the said supplies in build descriptions, although that can be changed too
It's documented, no?
Its documented but literally confused
erk lets make that water house
I thought it was what you have sent to me long time ago
that model was ditched for being very jank
inheriting or overriding buildings is a bad practice and should not be done
I didn't wanted
Btw @livid agate
About custom modules
local module = {}
function module.doStuff(x,y)
return x + y
end
What's the purpose of array there is it really necessary to store inside the game in making custom modules
modules?
Yes
Ah yes
let me find old dsa branch
And if it is also intended to store the array in game
it's an array where functions get put into
Then you access the said array and functions from other files
Then you use something like
local lehmm = require("../Lua functions/your func.lua")
lehmm.doStuff(x,y)
though you need to return the array at the end of your file in modules
local module = {}
function module.doStuff(x,y)
return x + y
end
return module
Why it needed tho?
Is that relative path
yes
Nice
that's just how it works, for more info, contact the lua creator Roberto Ierusalimschy
Utility library when
The return module?
you're returning an array of functions by the name of module which then can be accessed by other lua files
Ohh i think the site that I've learned these missed this part
ngl those lua tutorial sites suck
...or that theotown uses a custom lua implementation
that doesnt help either
Maybe books may help but don't have enough fund for one
I think just API's
hmm what if we made a file with all function names of the tt api so we get autofill
too much effort tho
hidden DSA functions:
chuckles
I'm in danger
whahahaha
I think you need at least one file for each module idk if it's a must
why couldnt we just put all the modules in 1 file after each other
oh wait i see now
maybe its possible to return multiple modules
don't look at me
im not
I hate lua as a language
I guess to not to execute all
If TheoTown.getStorage() will return it's table and some modules return multiple values then yes?
arent the functions its values?
I hate python too complicated in indention Syntax
it would probably be possible to return {{function1, function2}, {function3, function4}}
Oh wait i wonder how function inside "function parenthesis" Works
oh ive done that
it just defines a function that only exists within the scope of the function it was defined in
Gimme sample pls
if i have ```lua
local function doThing() {
local function shit()
Debug.Toast("hello")
end
shit()
end
it will toast hello once
and i wont be able to use the function outside doThing()
just defining it wont actually run it
so shit() will not be run until i call it later
Is this how "TheoTown.registerCommand(string,"FUNCTION") works?
possibly
you can also put it in a variable
or an object
so local functionObject = function will work
Cool....
can be used for passing functions around
not sure why we would want to do that for a plugin though
famous last words
when you just wanna move a camera but you end up doing trigonometry
still havent figured out how ima do that
@chilly mango find the problem
uhh
yes
How do you edit an MPF file?
You can't. They are encrypted files like .plugin files
Ah. Kk
Quality
Why I don't have the plugin creator role?
@old portal #information
Ok, thank you.

Palรกcio Laranjeiras:
Great you and rock_fort can now collab
I like the palace!
Btw is that two are in one tile?
It is modular.
@old portal Nice work! :)
Im gonna use it in the freighters gates.
thats a good dock area plugin
Nice idea!
SLC modulable warehouse pack released ! Both plugin store and forum :)
Cool and good
Already released on plugin store ? That's was pretty quick , thanks mods ๐
here's my criticism for this plugin. sorry if you can't read this handwriting, i was using a mouse
does anyone know if there is a stairs plugin?
For pedestrians?
Texture good but could be even better ( more detailing )
I don't pay much attention about that name , but the price is way too much
yeah, i'm nitpicking a bit
It is somewhat sad, the idea and elaboration of the plugin is excellent, but the small details are what lower it in category, not to mention that it is its first plugin, and it is well done, usually (Not in all cases), a novice just draw a square and call it "Building 10/10 pls buy it Im broke"
^
the plugin is looking so nice
But... , the price is $#/7
you can report his id to ja
Me and Thiago are working on a project called "Projeto Sรฃo Conrado". Our goal is to represent all or at least most of the buildings from Sรฃo Conrado neighborhood, in Rio de Janeiro. If you are interested in being part of the project, call me at DM.
yes, is there any?
it can be just an prop
just for decoration
Bernardo Moraes
Oh btw love your plugins
Thanks!
You are very welcome.
Why I feel that plugin isn't created by the author
I don't know why I feel this guy steal the plugin and claim its his plugin
485 diamonds is too much
Wait
The price has been changed like a few hours ago.
Why didn't I notice it?
So I am starting to work on a modern house pack. I finished like 2 houses until now.
Any thoughts?
windows need more texture
better grass
grass
Why TheoTown.addUndoButton() is not in the https://doc.theotown.com/modules/TheoTown.html
There's a bunch of functions that aren't documented
Like GUI.setIcon(integer)?
What is this kind of button in the middle?
Nice modern houses Michael , but i think there is too much noise on the textures , it reminds me of my old plugins lol
Not me because i don't make plane skins
You should ask it to a plane skins creator
Who is he
Idk
๐
Where's the aircraft designer๐
i think all the functions haven't been documented yet because:
-
The function needs more explanation. Like the function you mentioned, it needs to be placed not just on a single line, it requires more vars and more conditionality which can be well documented in open source code.
-
The function is strong, maybe someone can abuse it.
-
The function bad on performance. the function looks simpler, but can affect the game (lags, errors) than the longest.
@sharp dawn thanks
What about the background?
That's because it's currently pressed
You can set that state yourself if you want
For toggle buttons
Who is the aircraft designer๐ก
pog
@tough thistle there's no reason to get upset. Not everyone is online at the same time. If someone designs aircrafts they will let you know
Well, ๐
1ยฐ youre from morocco
2ยฐ Youre somethimes annoying
3 You always spam emojis
4ยฐ You have the word "lion"
Well, I'm sorry.
And where is your account "You know bout that"
^_^
I am now working on a 3rd house right now.
The modern house pack would have like 7-8 houses or more.
Yep
atlaslion#0488 has been warned: I told you. Stop asking people to design it. When someone can they will tell you
please stop doing that...
You did the same thing in the other server
@tough thistle enough
