[sick rune]

I have a bunch of textures for my projects

[sharp kettle]

Nice

[fiery elm]

@rain gate not here.
This is plugin discussion

NP

[signal lagoon]

nice water tower.

[left gale]

???v1966???

Awesome!!!

[tulip shale]

That is a nice plugin

[jolly wadi]

Thats not a plugin but that road is

[tough thistle]

Hi

What do you think?

?????

[sinful meadow]

Add light and the logo needs to slant

[sinful meadow]

I need that

[tough thistle]

Oh ok

[sinful meadow]

I have this but

[tough thistle]

How do I do that😳

[tough thistle]

Plz

How do I make a train?

[sinful meadow]

@signal lagoon how

[tough thistle]

???

[livid agate]

you set frames per variant to 8

[sinful meadow]

May i see the code😅

[livid agate]

"frames per variant": 8,

[sinful meadow]

Its possible in beta versions

[livid agate]

min version code is 1966

[sinful meadow]

How do i get this version

Im using beta

[livid agate]

wait for it to arrive or use steam edition

[sinful meadow]

Copy

[tulip shale]

Nice

[sinful meadow]

Thanks

[signal lagoon]

need improvements in car movements.

[west dagger]

howw

Amazing

[signal lagoon]

"frames per variant"

[sinful meadow]

Ngek

Just like type train

Cannot move straight

Why not diagonal in whole turn?

[midnight obsidian]

beginning to work on something, i need thoughts (i'll add noise and stuff later)

[slender briar]

looking good so far

maybe make thw indows on the right darker and on he left a bit brighter

[midnight obsidian]

ait

[left gale]

"type":"car",
...
"frames":[
  { //4 default frames },
  { //4 diagonal frames }
],
"frames per variant":8
...

I guess, it's the same diagonal system from train type but implemented on car type

[next pendant]

Next Skyscraper from India 🇮🇳!!
Indiabulls Blu Tower 1 | 52 Floors

[tough thistle]

What do you think?

[next pendant]

Hmm It lacks Reality

[tough thistle]

Yes

Is it good?

[midnight obsidian]

lemme get it straight, you are definitely improving, but the roofs are severely disproportionate. the windows are not isometric, try placing them based on the template you're using or the most bottom pixels of your building you're making. the shading's wrong, and the shadows are wrong. i'd highly recommend you don't do such roofs for now, and try to do flat roofs. tl:dr, work on the roof, shadows, windows and shading

[tough thistle]

Now

@midnight obsidian

@midnight obsidian

[stable tulip]

It looks good

But frames for the windows would not be bad :)

[orchid sorrel]

shapes are wrong

they don't look right

but it's better than before

[stable tulip]

I am not going to critise is much, because I have never made a plugin, so...

[tough thistle]

Yes

I'm just a beginner☺️

[stable tulip]

Depending where the sun is, the shadows should move. Where does the sun in Theotown stays?

[stable tulip]

It is good for a beginner

[tough thistle]

I don't know, i don

[stable tulip]

Practise makes perfect!

[tough thistle]

Yeah

[stable tulip]

When you are ready with the building, I would recommend you to do the night animation

There should be tutorials in the forum

[tough thistle]

Yes, we have to put that in.

[tough thistle]

😆

@stable tulip

[stable tulip]

It looks good

Maybe the floor.

It still has some place for more

[tough thistle]

Yeah

[full salmon]

Does anybody know where can I found shibuya cross plugins? Buildings, crosswalk etc

[sharp kettle]

The shadows are at the wrong place, and needs a texture

[livid agate]

Please do not post NSFW content here!

[sharp kettle]

Nsfw :0

[livid agate]

Can clearly tell that from the report

Now I'll be reporting you to the closest moderator

[sharp kettle]

Uh oh

[hybrid sedge]

Its so sexual

Would send you to horny jail

[cedar marten]

👀

[sharp kettle]

I need a lawyer

[unreal breach]

Omfg call to Elder!

[rain gate]

Southern Brazilian wooden houses and chalets (with variants).

Real liie.

[unreal breach]

I waiting for it

[rain gate]

Most of old houses on South Region of Brazil are like this. Here happened an immigration by europeans and they built their buildings with same aspect from their homeland.

[slender briar]

looking damn fine man

the plugin community came a long way

all the small creators of yesterday are now near expert

[slender briar]

your plugins really improved a lot , i love it

[midnight obsidian]

well, i started making plugins in 2018, but ever since i've kind of abandoned my "career", i haven't learnt much, i'm starting to get back to making plugins, hopefully i'm gonna learn more haha

[sharp kettle]

I have no ideas so i kinda rarely make plugins

[sinful meadow]

5 pixel lower and 5 pixel higher for noise

-5 and +5

For me huh😅

Idk maybe

[sharp kettle]

Parkinglot?

Looks very nice

[sharp kettle]

Should be have a plugin-inspiration channel?

[fiery elm]

Gorgeous building!

[sinful meadow]

Thanks

[fiery elm]

You're welcome!

[slender briar]

looks good so far

but hard to tell with all the red lines man

[midnight obsidian]

^

[midnight obsidian]

what's the hex color of the asphalt in vanilla roads

you can either go to the color menu, but don't go to the custom color thing, but above that you will find a square, press on it and then the top bar at the bottom will be the brush size

or

just hold 3 fingers and "expand" them

like move them further from each other

thoughts

[chilly mango]

good

[fiery elm]

amazing!

[unreal breach]

Cool!

And next question...

What is this?

Looks like little library

[midnight obsidian]

well it's a remake of my old plugin

[unreal breach]

What's plugin?

[midnight obsidian]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=8771

added trees

[rain gate]

Thanks Kekman.

[stoic palm]

As long as you give credit

@midnight obsidian the trees looks pretty blurry

And yeah

[midnight obsidian]

i'm pretty sure i have an old version of that tree thing

so that might be the reason why

[stoic palm]

The one on the right looks very falic as well

[chilly mango]

you mightve taken them from the wrong pic

if you grab it directly from here it will be blurry https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=5659

while this one is sharp https://forum.theotown.com/download/file.php?id=18907&sid=bbbb52543b139d8287825f5d9b4fead4&mode=view

[sharp kettle]

:0

[chilly mango]

basically you gotta click the pic to go to the page with only the picture

[sharp kettle]

Should i credit you if i use one of the thing inside that?

[chilly mango]

just credit the tt devs and its all good

[sharp kettle]

Ok

[midnight obsidian]

tree textures (and other textures and code) can be found in Plug-in System < Tutorials and Documentation < Resources or simply via clicking this link https://forum.theotown.com/viewforum.php?f=108

ah i might understand why the textures were blurry

might have been compression

when in doubt, blame it all on compression

this is a dumb question, but do i still need to credit the makers of those trees if they were scaled down?

[stoic palm]

I think just as a show of respect kinda thing

Because you can tell they are suppose to be the TT trees

[midnight obsidian]

ah ok

i'll still credit them

[fiery elm]

Beautiful!

[mortal anchor]

Tasty

[unreal breach]

Looks like motels

[sharp kettle]

Correct

[unreal breach]

I need this

[sharp kettle]

Ill be releasing it soon

[slender briar]

AMAZING

[rain gate]

Trying to make a 2x2 apartment.

Very nice man!

[midnight obsidian]

nice change of pace, you've made a lot of regular houses, i see you've moved onto apartments

yes! the whole animations thing finally works

now to just make different colored variants and just fix up population stuff and richness and whatnot

[stoic palm]

pog

[midnight obsidian]

i kept having plugin errors with those id things but i managed to fix it

@slender briar can you give thoughts on my plugin so far?

[chilly mango]

more poeple should do that tbh

6 buildings for the price of 1

[midnight obsidian]

i'm planning to add 2 more colored variants so this will actually be 18 buildings for the price of 1

[stoic palm]

And while you are doing that I'm working on a public release of an old plugin

[midnight obsidian]

anyways, what's gonna be different from the original plugin:
different and better texture
1 more color variation
saves plugin space (the og plugin had separate frames for each building so that would take up a ton of plugin space, but since i'm using animations, this will save plugin space by a drastic amount)
and more i can't think on top of my head right now

ree why do i keep mixing up k with g

[stoic palm]

I wish I could find a way to make roads more plugin space efficient

@livid agate is it possible to make it so that a road can steal frames so that it doesn't need such a large sprite sheet?

[livid agate]

when couldn't roads steal frames?

[rain gate]

Yeah, on this year I will start to make more buildings like that.

[livid agate]

Any viewport draft can do so

[midnight obsidian]

is there something that could control a building's build time?

[stoic palm]

I've just never seen it done before haha

[midnight obsidian]

time to make a different colored variation, the yellow one

[livid agate]

My road decals

[stoic palm]

I meant with like an actual road and not the decal

[livid agate]

the same applies

[stoic palm]

coolio

[livid agate]

Now rate my secret in #city-council

[floral pivot]

I sense a secret channel not allowed for people like me lol

[sick rune]

I think splitting your frames into individual pics will also save a little space

I hate doing that though because it makes editing them later annoying

[chilly mango]

how many roads we talking

[stoic palm]

I mean I just need one frame for each road rather then all the small bits and pieces

I mean the plugin works as it is now, but I hate taking up so much needed space of peoples

[sick rune]

If you're wondering, my logic is that the game has an easier time fitting smaller images than it does larger ones

[chilly mango]

true

[midnight obsidian]

for buildings to have different variations with that arrow thing do the bmps have to be separated via comma?

[chilly mango]

id try to see if you can figure out how to steal the frames

[chilly mango]

yes

[stoic palm]

For example I did all this to change two frames, but it still needs all that space...

[chilly mango]

like ```
[
{"bmp":"frame1.png"},
{"bmp":"frame2.png"}
]

[midnight obsidian]

ok

[livid agate]

smaller frames are easier to fit into the texture space

imagine it as tetris

[sharp dawn]

I'm not doing animations on my buildings anymore 1. because its a tedious process 2. The graphics i do now are more complicated ( different colors in windows etc )

[livid agate]

and it will all make sense

[chilly mango]

whats your frame code?

[midnight obsidian]

will that work for buildings with animations?

[sick rune]

I've made so many plug-ins and I think I've only used animations once

[chilly mango]

idk about rotations and animations

combined that is

[midnight obsidian]

like these animations btw

[chilly mango]

what

[livid agate]

let me share a car definition

[chilly mango]

oh god

oh frick

[midnight obsidian]

like you have a base texture, and then you can place the top texture and set the offset thing

[sharp dawn]

Also , Thanks to Inram ( #plugin-showcase ) I have one less Rouen building to do ( lol )

[livid agate]

nice

[tough thistle]

What do you think?

[chilly mango]

That's not bad

It doesn't have Shadows yet but I assume those get added later

[midnight obsidian]

erm... haha

[tough thistle]

Yes

[midnight obsidian]

crap

[chilly mango]

Lmao

[sharp dawn]

It reminds me of Cities Skylines , lol

[chilly mango]

What if you made a lua script to add random floor colours to it lol

[midnight obsidian]

damn, you guessed the game

i'm remaking an old plugin of mine here

[chilly mango]

It is good

[midnight obsidian]

help

how do i fix that doe

[chilly mango]

Idk depends on your code

[midnight obsidian]

i suppose i could go for the not so optimal method of just splitting up the .json into separate colors

[chilly mango]

Pretty sure you have to

[midnight obsidian]

yeah

[chilly mango]

You don't need separate files though

If you were gonna do that

[midnight obsidian]

ah

then what do i need

[livid agate]

JA, can we make puddle more puddler?

[chilly mango]

Instead of doing '''
[
{
Plugin code
},

{
Second plugin code
}
]

[midnight obsidian]

who's this erksmit guy you're talking about?

[chilly mango]

Will do 2 drafts in 1 file

[livid agate]

Use discord formatting for best results

[
  {
    "id":"myepicplugin",
    "this is":"nicely formatted"
  }
]

[midnight obsidian]

so it even works with 3

[livid agate]

That's why you begin the file with an array

[midnight obsidian]

[
  {
    "id":"no"
  }
]

[chilly mango]

Not at pc

Crappy keyboard

[jaunty quarry]

._.

[chilly mango]

But just like frames you can have multiple drafts

[midnight obsidian]

oh no

i broke the game

[chilly mango]

First time?

[midnight obsidian]

the heck

so now it's literally flashing every second repeating part

[chilly mango]

Hmm

[sharp dawn]

!

[midnight obsidian]

it's really funny though

[jaunty quarry]

._.

[chilly mango]

That's pretty wack

Oh you mean it's playing it as an animation?

[jaunty quarry]

You must have really screwed it up or something

[midnight obsidian]

yeah

[sharp dawn]

Disco tower then

[chilly mango]

Send pics

Tower be vibing

[midnight obsidian]

it's flashing between these two versions

[chilly mango]

Lmao

You probably wrote a bit of the code wrong

[midnight obsidian]

hmm

what could it be then

might have to stick with separate files

[chilly mango]

depends on your code i guess

[livid agate]

Reminds me of

[midnight obsidian]

do not question the pickled one

crap

still the same thing

undoing solves everything™️

now it's back to normal

might have to make those extra buildings a dlc

to a plugin

[tough thistle]

What do you think🙄

[midnight obsidian]

finally, a roof that you didn't mess up badly

[tough thistle]

Thx😆

I'm getting to know that.

[chilly mango]

That top edge looks a bit off

[sharp dawn]

🙄

[rain gate]

Old Brazilian small wooden chalets.

[tough thistle]

How long does it take to make this😳

[sinful meadow]

2 weeks

[tough thistle]

Oh, that's tired.

[sinful meadow]

But night animation not yet ready

[tough thistle]

Good luck.

[sharp kettle]

I guess i need more shadows

Is it pending approval now? Its still says its suspended

[rain gate]

New building.

Do I need to improve something?

[sharp kettle]

The back of the building looks pretty empty

Nice textures tho

[rain gate]

I'm going try to add something there. Maybe some antennas or solar painels.

[rain gate]

Thanks. 🙂

[wispy trail]

Anyone knew a level (T) dense commercial?

[sinful meadow]

Im not comfortable in cars

[small heart]

That's not bad

[small heart]

Looks good so far

Ayala malls, nice

You could add those spinning horizontal fans on the roof

You planning to add that?

[sinful meadow]

Exhaust fan?

[small heart]

yeah something like that

This kinda thing

[viral marten]

Como vcs fazem isso

[slender briar]

looks great , but the taller versions look riddiculous ,first 2 ,maybe 3 sizes are ok ,after that it starts looking weird

[sharp kettle]

If a plugin got suspended, will it be able to be reapproved?

[sinful meadow]

U need to contact them

[sharp kettle]

Where, how

[midnight obsidian]

yeah, but honestly i don't really care, it's up to others if they want to build those tall ones or if they like the short ones more

[grizzled holly]

speak only english here, if you want to speak in portuguese: #language-bar

[keen helm]

I’ll be honest, the building is too small, the scale just doesnt seems right

[orchid sorrel]

it looks fine for me

[sharp kettle]

Who do i contact if my plugin is suspended

[orchid sorrel]

does it have a reason included?

[sharp kettle]

Shadows needed

[midnight obsidian]

try making them more noticable

[sharp kettle]

Yeah, everytime i want to add shadows to my plugin.. theyre to soft ;-;

[midnight obsidian]

i usually do from 27-33%

[tough thistle]

hello

[sharp kettle]

Yeah, i think the right side needs a little bit more shadows

I like the vines on the building wall @rain gate

[orchid sorrel]

it's still too light

make it darker and softer (aka blurry)

[sharp kettle]

REEE

[thorny crescent]

Who can made Burj khalifa in good quality? It will be cool

[sinful meadow]

Including top have a light

[next pendant]

I want to make

[sharp kettle]

I need more 2x2 commercial TT xd

[next pendant]

I will try

[thorny crescent]

Thank you very much! I have been waiting for build a Dubai,but dont have a Burj khalifa

[tough thistle]

Where do I get the parking?

[sharp kettle]

Parking?

[tough thistle]

@sharp kettle

[sharp kettle]

I make it my own

[tough thistle]

Are you just drawing it?

[sharp kettle]

Yep

[tough thistle]

Ok

What do you think😅

???

@sharp kettle

[sharp kettle]

The door is to big

(The shadows are in the wrong area to) ;-;

[tough thistle]

I'll work on it.

@sharp kettle

What do you think?

[next pendant]

Dude this car is good but the building is top big

We are not playing city Story

This is Theotown

We need realistic

[tough thistle]

I'm just doing it.

[next pendant]

Oh Okayy

[tough thistle]

I'm not going to put it in the forum.

Just in the game.

[sweet topaz]

facts

1° Plugin creators wont accept requests

2° If you wanna do it you need experience

3° The Burj Khalifa whould probably lag or chrash the game

[sharp kettle]

@tough thistle try to start with a 2x2

[tough thistle]

It's 3×3

[sharp kettle]

Try to take a inspiration from buildings on TT

[tough thistle]

Yes

[fiery elm]

Same as jeddah tower

[sweet topaz]

exactly...

[next pendant]

I agree too

That Chinese Aquatic center always make my game stop

[empty night]

Yeah, skyscarpers that arent made with animations eat a stupid ammount of plugin space

[midnight obsidian]

smh

[tired birch]

(WIP)

[clever kite]

can someone make the marine bay sands hotel from singapore. I really like this building and wish to get it but im just not a pixel artist😅

[empty night]

Do it yourself

[midnight obsidian]

gonna be nice here, please don't suggest plugins, plugin creators don't accept them

most of them will just say "do it yourself"

[clever kite]

awww man

[midnight obsidian]

@empty night can you pls do the dsa plugin

[empty night]

No, ask JA

[midnight obsidian]

@chilly mango dsa plugin pls

[west dagger]

Ja

[livid agate]

@chilly mango electric vacoom to succ all garbage from roads when?

[midnight obsidian]

(don't worry, we're just memeing)

[clever kite]

how do you guys do pixel art

[midnight obsidian]

check the pins

[clever kite]

did you make that ground template

[rain gate]

New buildings.

[clever kite]

how do you guys get it so perfectly diagonal?

??

i need help

[low loom]

Lot's of debugging

[tired birch]

No, I've downloaded from the forum. I'll change it later to the floor I want smh

[rain gate]

Test.

[livid mural]

cool

I just like seeing how people let their mind go crazy with new ideas

[rain gate]

😳

Someone is using my houses.

Without my permission.

[livid mural]

you should have used a Trade MArk

but I don't think Trade marks work like that

[rain gate]

I use on my plugins cover.

[livid mural]

wow

[stoic palm]

@livid agate ^^^^

[livid agate]

proof

[static sail]

@rain gate Man, I really love your plugins

[rain gate]

Thanks Malsa.

[static sail]

Np

Oh yeah and @grand crater, any update about my Stockholm apartment plugin?

[rain gate]

Well, @mortal anchor dissaproved this plugin. That was a scammer using my work.

From this.

[grand crater]

srry i was quite busy, but I'll try today!

[static sail]

ooh, I didn't know you're quiet busy

well, you can finish your stuff

I can wait

[livid mural]

I think I have that plugin!

[rain gate]

Nice then. 😁

[livid mural]

its very nice

[rain gate]

Thx

[livid mural]

I can make a boring old city into something I've never seen before

[rain gate]

No. It's from last year... But I am planning to update again soon.

Yeah, I try to effort in doing my plugins.

[midnight obsidian]

#bot-commands

[slender briar]

aint it weird that despite all my plugins i am literally known for an ugly blue tower and some lights

it hurts in the meow meow

ugly blue tower

lights

my 2 most downloaded

this barely at 8k

how is that possible jesus christ

so much effort in this one fucking church and it gets less than a blue tower and some lights

aint life a kick in the head

[orchid sorrel]

people indeed like a big tower

[chilly mango]

high effort plugin :

[slender briar]

well i like big towers too but not on the plugin store

[chilly mango]

big tower:

[fast cave]

That is a good plugin

[midnight obsidian]

guess what my most downloaded plugin is

[slender briar]

thanks , i mean i put effort in it , i know its a good plugin , and it has so much more potential

you can put it in the wilderness as a little monastery , in the middle of a city as a local church,an italian themed city

but you can only put skyscrapers in city centers

[livid agate]

you know what we need?

[slender briar]

plugin store nuke

[chilly mango]

when a water tower gets more downloads than a usefull tool

[fast cave]

Lol

[livid agate]

Zhongli rod (on the right)

make it spit plugin store comments

[empty night]

I think most people want to have Citites with skyscarpers, like to look modern

[midnight obsidian]

this is the most downloaded plugin of mine for some reason, this is so goddamn shit

[slender briar]

well yeah but they break the entire aestethic of the game

[empty night]

And don't care about citites with historical centers or stuff like that

[slender briar]

most towers are very far from the style of theotown

either wrong scale, wrong lighting , or wrong reflections

they dont fit often times

[slender briar]

at least you didnt make a big blue tower man , i can see some effort behind this

[chilly mango]

yeah but its big

[midnight obsidian]

and guess what

that plugin is made in 2018

[empty night]

I think my most popular plugin is just one that fills sandbox requirements

[slender briar]

mine is a big ol pile of them glass

you know what

fuck it

im deleting the ark skyscraper

say goodbye to this piece of crap

[stoic palm]

I've just accepted that I need to make plugins that I find useful

[slender briar]

curse on my soul that plugin my god i hate it

[stoic palm]

Rather than what people want

[chilly mango]

well i dont really care about downloads anyways

[midnight obsidian]

water company

[slender briar]

goodbye ark skyscraper

[chilly mango]

i just make tools

[empty night]

Bye bye, i've never knew that you made that

[slender briar]

yeah ,thats a thing at least where i come from

[slender briar]

that plugin used to have 60k downloads alone

[fast cave]

Personally I like detailed buildings

[slender briar]

i hate it , its the curse of my existence , it has been my most downloaded plugin since i posted it , and it sucks ASS

how the fuck did this get 60k downloads i dont know

it looks like space lasagna

[empty night]

Yeah, looks like proper garbagee

[slender briar]

korrekt, thats why i hate it

now riddle me this , it has been my most downloaded plugin ever since i released it

how the fuck

[midnight obsidian]

holy fuck that looks awful

[slender briar]

i know ,why did it get spot number one in my plugins

why

god

anyway im feeling like a pile of mud again , gonna sleep adios

[midnight obsidian]

cya

[livid agate]

@chilly mango how do you feel having the most popular plugin?

[chilly mango]

feels good man

time to push an update to add lua cryptominer

[livid agate]

why not just bind to in-built one?

[chilly mango]

that would be efficient

we dont do that

also then it has to get through lobby

[torpid vapor]

check Rockfort & Montemarino & Pixelbit & Tt lover for decent plugins! Bernado Brandoa is good aswell!

[chilly mango]

facts

[midnight obsidian]

@livid agate

"your plugin is bad tbh"

[livid agate]

@chilly mango

[chilly mango]

damn\

[hybrid sedge]

Ngl that moskee pack isnt really worth 60 dia but who cares

[rain gate]

I made a Sound Car (or Acoustic vehicle), very commonly here in Brazil.

Like this:

The plugin worked, but the car doesn't aappear.

[sly ocean]

you need to make a spawner to the appear

[rain gate]

What is the spawner json?

PM me.

[unreal breach]

Yes

[sharp kettle]

Who do i contact if my plugin is suspended, i need it to be reaproved

[slender briar]

not kekman 😐

[midnight obsidian]

he can't forgive you for the nightmare of the plugin that is the water hq thing

[torpid vapor]

Valentine K i must say kekman is up there, not seen his work for a while, though he is also good!

[static sail]

[torpid vapor]

not everyone is a skyscraper fan! Thats why i mentioned the above creators! But never mind !

[jolly wadi]

Does it hav3 lights for night time?

[sharp kettle]

I dont have the skill to do the json for that :(

[orchid sorrel]

use animation dev tool

[sharp kettle]

Oh, the one made by ian?

Or its something else

[orchid sorrel]

yes

[sharp kettle]

Ill check plugin store

What a building id

Oh wait, nvm

[sharp kettle]

e

[jolly wadi]

Hmm not quite sure in no Plugin maker

[chilly mango]

if youve submitted the fixed version just wait

[sinful meadow]

The facade is too hard

[clever kite]

is it possible to apply night animation to your plugins through mobile

[midnight obsidian]

it should be

[clever kite]

k

[next pendant]

It is

[rain gate]

Nice building. Do you plan to add trees?

[sharp kettle]

Correct

I mean, yes

[rain gate]

Good. Is that a hotel?

[sharp kettle]

Its a motel

[rain gate]

You will include with that another? Like a Motel's pack.

[sharp kettle]

Good idea

[rain gate]

:)

[sharp kettle]

I still dont know how to upload more than 1 zip tho

My messages send so slow.. ;-;

Is that a motel?

[sharp kettle]

Yea

[tough thistle]

Hi Who has a size 4×4 plz

[sharp kettle]

[small heart]

@sharp kettle You should add those big tall signs that say "motel" with a big arrow pointing towards the motel

I don't know if you know what I'm talking about

[sharp kettle]

Yeah, i want to but i dont know to to write the motel letter

[midnight obsidian]

write it "normally" but just shift it a bit to make it look normal

and fitting

[small heart]

How about you add parking lights?

[midnight obsidian]

and make sure it matches the base

[small heart]

and those big dumpsters beside one of the buildings

[sweet topaz]

great

[slender briar]

why is the building green

it looks weird af

[tired birch]

What do you think?

[midnight obsidian]

not bad

[frail monolith]

Whats That?

[sharp dawn]

I think the walls and glass textures need a bit more detailing , overall its looks good :)

[frail monolith]

Is That The HSBC Building I HK?

[tired birch]

It's the ICBC Madero Office Tower in Buenos Aires

[frail monolith]

Oh Cool!

[tough thistle]

Can you help me☹️

Something important.

Central station

Plz

[midnight obsidian]

you need 4 frames if you want it to be rotation aware (i'm pretty sure)

[tough thistle]

Do you have the file?

[midnight obsidian]

no

[tough thistle]

I've edited the file.

☹️☹️

@hybrid sedge

[midnight obsidian]

are you making the plugin or are you trying to install it

[tough thistle]

How to

[midnight obsidian]

i'm just asking you

are you making the plugin

or are you installing it

[tough thistle]

How do I do that?

[midnight obsidian]

what do you want to do

[tough thistle]

It's not working.

[midnight obsidian]

what's not working

[tough thistle]

☹️؟؟؟

@midnight obsidian

[midnight obsidian]

ohhhhhhh

you have to get another plugin

that has the category mentioned

[empty night]

If i remeber correctly, that plugin ia broken bcs mdk updated the U-bahn plugin, leaving this plugin obsolete, or until Montemarino decides to fix it (which probably won't happend)

[tough thistle]

Once again.

[tough thistle]

How do I take that off?

@midnight obsidian

[midnight obsidian]

just uninstall the plugin or disable it

[tough thistle]

Where's the one from?

🙄

[midnight obsidian]

delete the zip and folder

[tough thistle]

Are they together?

[midnight obsidian]

ah wait it's not in the plugins folder

check your plugins folder

[tough thistle]

I deleted that.

????

And what's next?

Hi

@midnight obsidian

@stoic palm

😭

[static sail]

can you chill out holy shit

[tough thistle]

I don't know how to run that!

[static sail]

I said chill out

have some patience

[tough thistle]

Ok

[sharp kettle]

The building is green bc i wanted it to be green so?.

[plain python]

So I downloaded a plug in, (not from the game forum) and can't figure out which folder to put it in to make it work

Can you ping me if you know what to do, thanks

[stoic palm]

regardless of where you got it it goes in the plugin folder

[plain python]

Hmm, I thought I tried that. I'll see

Managed plug-ins or just the plug-ins folder?

[stoic palm]

just the plugins folder

managed plugins is only for the in-game ones

[plain python]

Ohhhh, that's where I messed up. Thanks

[stoic palm]

np

[low loom]

I can't chat in #builder-content why?

[midnight obsidian]

you're not a builder

[fiery elm]

You don't have the "Builder" rank anymore, and that is why you can't chat there

[stoic palm]

progress

[sharp kettle]

Woah

[stoic palm]

all only using 16 frames in total

not 64

[rain gate]

Bug.

[chilly mango]

Any plugins?

[signal lagoon]

https://youtu.be/5mOX-1tW09c

[sharp kettle]

Looks nice

[stoic palm]

and it allows for cars to cross even though it doesn't look like that standard ugly intersection

[low loom]

Dude what is your editor?

[signal lagoon]

VSC

[low loom]

Visual Studio?

[signal lagoon]

[livid agate]

code*

don't install visual studio

[low loom]

Why?

[livid agate]

it's primarily for C# and C++ development

just install visual studio code

[low loom]

Thanks but im now focusing on my vb.net

[livid agate]

then go ahead

[chilly mango]

that is an epic plugin

also yes vscode

use visual studio for stuff like vb c# and c++

dont think vs has lua support anyways

[low loom]

@chilly mango i dm pidroid for rank

[chilly mango]

yes

[low loom]

I just only need rank

[chilly mango]

yes just dm pidroid

[sick rune]

I use notepad++ for everything

[livid agate]

but have you tried vim?

[chilly mango]

i mean

it works

[sick rune]

Yeah

[chilly mango]

but

vscode does lua well

[livid agate]

do you know how much time you save?

[sick rune]

I just use NP++ because I already had it

[chilly mango]

*when you define globals

[livid agate]

at least .1s which adds up real fast

[chilly mango]

yes

totally worth setting it up

[sick rune]

Using notepad also lets me have JSON and Lua in the same app though, which I have found pretty helpful

[chilly mango]

i mean

vscode does that too

[livid agate]

you should definitely try vscode

[sick rune]

Nah

[chilly mango]

also dark theme

[livid agate]

Isn't vscode in electron?

[chilly mango]

idk

could be

starts pretty fast though

[livid agate]

Yeah

[drifting creek]

based on electron

[livid agate]

It does use electron

Hey Lobbu

[chilly mango]

hello lobby

[stoic palm]

Since you all are here could someone approve my plugin when they get a second

[low loom]

In Android i preferred QuickEdit

[chilly mango]

yeah totally

[livid agate]

@chilly mango :)

[sick rune]

You guys would hate to hear how I do lua on Android

[chilly mango]

i cant speak for android lua programmers

[livid agate]

Don't use Android 11

[chilly mango]

that just sounds like suffering

[livid agate]

Can't recommend

[low loom]

I can do lua easily from QuickEdit

[chilly mango]

i mean

maybe

but likr

dont you want a keyboard

[livid agate]

use otg technology

and connect a keyboard

issue solved

[sick rune]

I only edit simple stuff on android

[chilly mango]

i only put it on android to test performance there

[sick rune]

Using the basic text editor from the file manager lmao

[livid agate]

for higher resolution, connect it to a TV

[chilly mango]

besides

[livid agate]

Also, you might want a mouse too

[chilly mango]

i made a script to limit framerate on pc

[livid agate]

Nvm, I've just described a computer

[sick rune]

You can change framerate?

[chilly mango]

yeah with a busy loop

code running in script:update blocks the game

[livid agate]

ah yes

[chilly mango]

so waiting in there for a bit causes the game to freeze

[livid agate]

performance

and asynchronism

we don't do that here

[chilly mango]

its just so i can check phone framerate

without having to put it on my phone or use bluestacks

[livid agate]

create an android vm

[chilly mango]

cuz the cinematic camera broke on low framerate i had to test it

effort though

[midnight obsidian]

speaking about cinematic camera, why does it always go in one direction

[chilly mango]

it doesnt

what do you mean

have you had it on for long enough?

[midnight obsidian]

for me it always goes to a corner

[sick rune]

Weird, I thought erksmit made that plug-in

[chilly mango]

oh i mean

@midnight obsidian made it

[sick rune]

Yes

[midnight obsidian]

hmm

[chilly mango]

had to help him out with framerate independent movement

[sick rune]

Of course

[livid agate]

[sick rune]

The almighty JA knows all

[midnight obsidian]

sorry, did you get confused? @chilly mango made it

[sick rune]

and also all of the undocumented functions

[low loom]

Would be better

[chilly mango]

ah yeah

i stole it

role pog

[midnight obsidian]

enjoy my top notch programming

[livid agate]

very great bot you have, erk

written in spicy c#

[chilly mango]

cant even read documentation smh

pointy c

[low loom]

Oh i already get my rank thanks

[chilly mango]

np

imagine calculating triangle shizz

[livid agate]

So you use java java?

[chilly mango]

yes

[livid agate]

thoughts on microsoft java?

[chilly mango]

Very good

Finally no writing setters and getters all day

[livid agate]

so theotown c# soon?

[chilly mango]

Yes

Why do you think I made that screensaver

[sick rune]

3D unity port confirmed

[chilly mango]

No not unity

[sick rune]

lol

[low loom]

Unreal

[chilly mango]

Am using monogame

[sick rune]

You're right, I need to think bigger

[chilly mango]

Who needs a graphic ui to make a game

[livid agate]

so city class fixed for once?

[low loom]

BTW what's the game engine of tt?

[chilly mango]

No promises

[sick rune]

staple2D

[chilly mango]

Libgdx I saw in credits

[livid agate]

You put it there

Can I be put on credits btw?

[sick rune]

At least, it was staple2D

[chilly mango]

Hmm

Sure

Because you asked nicely

Waving ganyu in credits confirmed for next update

[low loom]

[livid agate]

21 frames of 32x32

[chilly mango]

well just reduce plugin space a bit

they dont need it

[livid agate]

Jjsk 21 * 32*32

Jjsk py 21 * 32*32

[pine plank]

21504

[livid agate]

Jjsk py 32 * 21

[pine plank]

[chilly mango]

ys

im off to figure out how to rotate a hitbox

[livid agate]

combat in the game? nice

[chilly mango]

yes

tt city war confirmed

just physics stuff

imagine using system library

[rain gate]

This is how I measure vehicle coordinates?

[chilly mango]

Pretty sure y handle starts at the left of the texture

*frame

[tough thistle]

What do you think?

Hi!

@empty night

😕

[empty night]

The windows and door are out of proportion.
Lacks texture
Windows aren't properly aligned
No shadows

[rain gate]

And sun shadows are in wrong side.

[tough thistle]

Now

@rain gate

@empty night

[midnight obsidian]

out of scale

[rain gate]

It's good now

the shadows sun

[slender briar]

no

its horribly out of scale

shading is wrong

[midnight obsidian]

the windows are barely visible

[tough thistle]

Yes!

[tough thistle]

Thx

[slender briar]

recolor the windows

why are windows yellow in the middle of the day

windows are only yellow at night

[tough thistle]

And what color do you want?

[slender briar]

blue

windows are blue dude

[tough thistle]

@slender briar

Now

[slender briar]

almost decent ,but the entire building is wrong because the scale is wrong

[tough thistle]

I'm not putting him in the store.

[slender briar]

but it has to look good innit man

its going to look like a turd in a jewelry shop if it doesnt at least fit the theme of theotown

[tough thistle]

😕

[slender briar]

so sorry but try to start over

a window is usually 3 pixels large

a human in theotown is 3 pixels

that means windows doors and humans are about the same size

3 pixels

that's 1.8 meter for calculations

[rain gate]

Like this @tough thistle

[tough thistle]

How do I do that?

[rain gate]

try to make 3 pixel as kekman said

[slender briar]

dont need to do that , just the size

the size is like that

doors and windows

[tough thistle]

It's 3×3.

[rain gate]

yeah 🙂

[tough thistle]

😲

I'm going to go to sleep now.

Good night

💖

[floral pivot]

kden

[novel mica]

why does plugin every time scroll back to top when i want to read ocmments or read more

[midnight obsidian]

myskyscrapersegio2303

[low loom]

Are these white gradient a bug or an update included?

[chilly mango]

Do you use your own ninepatch frame or recolor one from the game?

Because the one in game have the gradient

[rich birch]

What is that.... OoO

[midnight obsidian]

looks prett nice, but the grass seems a bit too bright

the same applies to the tree

[chilly mango]

ye

might want to grab those from world texture instead

[tough thistle]

Hello

[chilly mango]

can you maybe get a clip of that so i can figure out whats wrong

[midnight obsidian]

obs doesn't work for me for theotown

but i can stream

oh wait it's working now

huh

hold up

hmm

[chilly mango]

lmao

[midnight obsidian]

it finally works xd

not sure what caused that issue and why is it working now

[chilly mango]

maybe you had an older version or something

[midnight obsidian]

possibly

when was the last update

[chilly mango]

guess ill never know

[midnight obsidian]

i'll try to check more times

[chilly mango]

not sure where i can find out

ah wait

3rd of january i think

[rain gate]

22 dec

[chilly mango]

thats when i last edited my version file

[rain gate]

I died

[chilly mango]

so probably when i uploaded it too

the previous version was pretty broken

[tough thistle]

What do you think of the windows

@midnight obsidian

[midnight obsidian]

better

[chilly mango]

not rectangular though

[midnight obsidian]

m ok

[tough thistle]

😕

Is it right?

[chilly mango]

the bottom part is good but the top isnt

[tough thistle]

Ok

And what about the windows?

[chilly mango]

windows themselves are good

[tough thistle]

Thx😃

What do you think of the door?

@chilly mango

[chilly mango]

its a bit big for a door

should be like half the size

[rain gate]

Gray

[tough thistle]

Ok

Now

???

[sharp kettle]

Thats a nice door

[tough thistle]

Thx(-:

@chilly mango

[chilly mango]

thats a decent door

[tough thistle]

Thx😃

This is the whole building.

I'm going to add the windows on the right😃

@chilly mango

???

Final shape

@sharp kettle

??????

What do you think😕

[tired birch]

You do not need to ping everyone to ask for help

but the shadows are in the wrong place

[tough thistle]

I just want to evaluate the building.

[tired birch]

np

[tired birch]

the darkest side goes to the right, and the lightest one to the left

you can mirror the building

[tough thistle]

Now

@tired birch

[midnight obsidian]

put the windows closer to each other

[signal lagoon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rm_qEDXxIg

[midnight obsidian]

they're too far apart from each other

[tough thistle]

Now

Ok

[tough thistle]

@rain gate

😕

[chilly mango]

the windows on the other side of the wall should be mirrored

so instead of down they should go up

[hybrid sedge]

this is an example but dont follow my word for it since this is 2y old

[sharp kettle]

[urban fossil]

[novel mica]

so if i want to make a plugin

do i jsut copy paste the building size dimensions

and then make my art?

i'll figure out the coding later

[orchid sorrel]

yes, the templates should be pinned here

[novel mica]

but for the art, the buildings should not exceed the base grids

but it can go up
