plugin-discussion

[orchid sorrel]

yes

[novel mica]

i know those are templates but if i want to do like 3x2 or 1x3 i can just move around the grids or this game dont really support rectangular dimensions

[livid agate]

game doesn't support it as it would break down once you rotate map

[novel mica]

is that why most buildings are perfectly squared and the different view is jsut art

like airport gates have like 4 view but fit the same square

[orchid sorrel]

you can just use compositions

but you would probably need rotation frames as well

[novel mica]

i hope it's ok to make fanart buildings...

it's not like im charging moeny right

[midnight obsidian]

well if you were to upload dem plugins to the plugin store you would be kind of charging money

[novel mica]

oh i thought they're free?

im on steam version so idk if mobiel have to pay

[chilly mango]

Mobile has to watch an ad or pay 30 diamonds

That's the minimum price at least

You can set it higher

[novel mica]

Btw what is that qc post about no cartoonish art

Cause my other idea is like make a burger shop looks like a burger those type of buildings but in pixel ofc

“Cartoonish plugins”

[orchid sorrel]

it means that "plastic buildings" won't be approved

aka bright, blank and very simple

[novel mica]

Ty for clarifying

Gonna make my food town maybe lol

And last question for now
If I make custom buildings for residential commercial and industrial but don’t want the game to use defaults that upgrade themselves, the only way is to manually build them or in sandbox mode right

[solemn sigil]

By clicking on the building after its built there is an untouchable option. Using the view tool to view untouchable buildings will allow you to make buildings touch/untouchable with one click instead of two

[rain gate]

Why do most plugins added manually appear to be empty? I noticed that some houses and stores have 0 workers with a capacity of 450 for example. Others, buildings for 600 people, but only 200 resides there. And note: Uber Mode was used. Even with hospitals, parks, good highways, stadiums, etc.

[novel mica]

Snail, i see, thanks ty

[static sail]

Who made Berliner Strassenbahn?

I wanna ask to the person who made this tram plugin

@steady harness Are you SomeGermanGuy?

[steady harness]

@static sail
Yes I am also SomeGermanGuy
That's why I put both names in the plug in description

[static sail]

Ooh okay

Ok so, I have one suggestion for Berliner Strassenbahn

can you put traffic light button on tram road?

[steady harness]

I could make a traffic light
I also thought about that

But what do you mean with button?

[steady harness]

Ah ok
I can do that
I probably do a road decoration traffic light too

[static sail]

nice

[sinful meadow]

Yah

[sharp kettle]

Now i hope i can do night anim..

[sinful meadow]

[sharp kettle]

Hmm, ill try it oneday, tysm

[orchid sorrel]

or use ian's tool

[sinful meadow]

Its hard

Idk how to use haha

[orchid sorrel]

unless your building doesn't use ingame frames

pressing buttons is not hard

especially if there's a video tutorial how to do so

[signal lagoon]

The tutorial is available

[chilly mango]

nice

Help Wanted!
To all interested plugin makers please DM me.
Project Cyberpunk is a new Theotown series concept and in order for its full vision to be realized in the game I require cyberpunk and futurist plugins to be made. I am mainly looking for volunteers but I will feature all plugins and plugin makers on my channel and videos for the duration of this project. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

[sinful meadow]

Like this

[tropic pawn]

Yes

[rain gate]

How `ian#7136 made the button moveable and what is the code for it?

"draw ground":true

If I create a mod and people have to pay for it with diamonds, then the diamonds go to my account?

[stoic palm]

You have to redeem them off the froums

[sharp dawn]

You only get a small percentage though ( around 5-10% of all income )

[sharp kettle]

It still kinda buggy

[sharp dawn]

Ohhhh
Looks nice so far :)

[livid solar]

My first plugin borobudur temple

[slender briar]

looks very stolen

it has anti alias

and doesn't fit one bit

[hybrid sedge]

A yes 144p

[midnight obsidian]

the bottom of the temple 😳

[livid solar]

Yap this is 144p because i edited not using pixel app...im trying to make new one with pixel art now...i just trying for first time for this one ...

Ty for feedback 👍

[static sail]

looks like you stole that

[sharp dawn]

Next time try to draw your own graphics , we don't want graphics stealers

[inland nacelle]

Omggg, always wanted from somebody make big bike lane plugin, there are literally no bike lanes just by TownLower which I use everywhere on my bike highways infrastructure.

[sharp kettle]

Hmm, its not functional like a road tho, its a decoration

Im still working on it

[inland nacelle]

nP, I don't even want it functional. Good luck, could u do also bike lanes which fit on road,like road decoration or fence which take space little bit of road and side walk?

[sharp kettle]

I didnt know how to make a road / fence yet, maybe ill learn them in the future and thanks

[hybrid sedge]

Want road deco code

[left gale]

just search this keywords ... road deco sample here.
You'll find it

[sinful meadow]

"Type":"road decoration",

[hybrid sedge]

Do you think i never coded road deco before

I think theres gonne me 50+ variants

[sinful meadow]

[sharp kettle]

64?

64 is max?

[sinful meadow]

Footbridge

[sharp kettle]

A wide foodbridge

[zinc umbra]

Is the bus a plug-in?

[sinful meadow]

Not yet

[zinc umbra]

Ok

[left gale]

How can we use "destruction": ... attribute? Does it works like "frames":[ ... ]?

[sharp kettle]

I have 58 bike paths so far

[sharp kettle]

Wait, why its only 42?

Is the limit 42????

[midnight obsidian]

that might be max for the plugin creator, but you definitely can use more frames if you write code yourself

[sharp kettle]

Oof

[midnight obsidian]

don't take my word though, i don't use the tool

[low loom]

Destructed frames?

[signal lagoon]

you need draft with "type":"destroyed", and maybe put it id into "destruction" tags. "destruction": "id" or "destruction": ["id"]

[fiery elm]

I would give it a 10/10! Excellent plugin!

[sharp kettle]

Thank you

[fiery elm]

You are welcome

[midnight obsidian]

i'd give it a 9/10, the bike path looks a bit too similar to grass and i think you could add texture to it

and talking about the grass looking path, this would be pretty useful if you wanted to make sidewalk grass kind of stuff

[sharp kettle]

Yeah, ill update it, im looking for a better hex color

[orchid sorrel]

you could add more color variations

maybe red/blue/asphaltish

[sinful meadow]

Type road?

[west dagger]

i have a idea, add a varient with parking areas

nvm

i just scrolled down

[rain gate]

Guys, if I add "workers" and "residents" simultaneously in a plugin, does it affect the city population? I say this because I did some mixed stores and houses in a same building

[sinful meadow]

2 type r not possible

[sly ocean]

@rain gate a building can only have 1 type, you can't add woekers and residents

[rain gate]

I just found out this:

[small heart]

Cool

[rain gate]

Nice! 😍

[floral canyon]

@rain gate very good

[rain gate]

Thanks, @floral canyon.

[bright viper]

wow great mod

[bright viper]

yess some rural houses

wow they are so great

the colour of the last building's roof is perfect but tge dark ones looks kinda out but that too looks good

[rain gate]

Thank you for your appreciation. 😃 The brown color of the roofs is to illustrate worn and dirty tile, in fact it combines in some plugins with doors and windows of the same shade.

[rain gate]

Yes, they are.

Like this italian style home here.

[jaunty quarry]

I'm looking for harbour plugins. Any suggestions?

[mortal anchor]

@jaunty quarry

[jaunty quarry]

Thanks

[sharp kettle]

@jaunty quarry bruh, genep

[signal lagoon]

how pos on car animation works? "pos": [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8], frames:[0,3] is the pos patern [x,y,x,y,x,y,x,y]?

[unreal breach]

It's a bridge or harbor?

It hurts my brain

[sharp kettle]

Harbor decal

Diagonal*

[small heart]

THis looks like an optical illusion

[sharp kettle]

@small heart

[jaunty quarry]

Oh no...

[small heart]

[small heart]

Yeah, I'am

Am I blind?

[jaunty quarry]

Look here

@small heart

[small heart]

Bloody hell

[jaunty quarry]

See it now?

[bright viper]

[small heart]

Why is there no BUILDINGS in this plot of land?!

This is too cursed

[jaunty quarry]

...

[jaunty quarry]

Yes

[small heart]

There's no buildings that's why

[jaunty quarry]

Yeah

I'm pretty sure

[sharp kettle]

Imagine if theres a new feature so we know who reported a plugin, for example
Reports (1)

What should i update on this old pack

[plain python]

What pack is that?

[inland nacelle]

Know that mod, it's very popular. Probably update graphic of buldings and add more destroyed buldings and variations

[hybrid sedge]

i could update the houses

and add some new items

[tidal oasis]

@hybrid sedge what Pack is that

[chilly mango]

those cracks

please

fix that

[hybrid sedge]

no

its broken building

retexture made by kekman

its made of crack

[livid agate]

wrong kind of crack

[buoyant crane]

[chilly mango]

The right type of crack makes the building indestructible

[signal lagoon]

🥶

[chilly mango]

Everybody gangster til you need 2 windows for your codw

Looking good

[signal lagoon]

copy the last code to the new.

What is this?

Army truck?

[sharp kettle]

Ye,

[rain gate]

You made that?

[sharp kettle]

With a rocket launcher behind it

[small heart]

Looks nice

How many plugins have you made so far?

[rain gate]

Me?

[small heart]

No not you sorry

[rain gate]

Cool.

Loved it

[sharp kettle]

Ty

[sharp kettle]

The military truck, or all my plugins

[rain gate]

You're welcome.

[small heart]

it's good for roleplaying

Like what I used to do alot

[small heart]

Alll

[sharp kettle]

Uhhh, 20

I removed 1 :p

[small heart]

Really? what was it

[sharp kettle]

Its a test

Broken*

[midnight obsidian]

what are the differences between "override" : true and "once" : true?

[livid agate]

Once loads the draft once and refuses to load it any other time

Override overrides previously loaded/defined draft

[midnight obsidian]

and what if i have both of them

[livid agate]

Best to use ```json
"inherit": true

[livid agate]

wanna find out?

[midnight obsidian]

yes

but wait, what does inherit do then

[chilly mango]

wont that just force that draft only

ah wait we got inherit tags?

damn

[livid agate]

inherit is like overriding parent class functions

[midnight obsidian]

i just noticed that my plugin wasn't working because i had the zip file and the folder in the same plugins directory

[livid agate]

class Parent:
  def yes():
    return False
class Child(Parent):
  def yes():
    return True

p = Parent()
p.yes()

False
c = Child()
c.yes()
True

[chilly mango]

finally

object oriented drafts

[livid agate]

Imagine this is a draft where you want to add some light definitions

{
  "id":"erksmitstrashmobile",
  "type":"car",
  "frames": [null],
  "flag military": false
}

You would use inherit because you wouldn't have to declare all attributes all over again

{
  "id":"erksmitstrashmobile",
  "type":"car",
  "light": [somelightdefinitions],
  "inherit": true
}

[chilly mango]

ah yes

so it inherits flag military in this case?

[livid agate]

and the frames

if you want to override frames

you also add frames in your new inherited draft

[chilly mango]

so

[livid agate]

That's at least how the draftloader should work

[chilly mango]

do both these drafts actually get loaded

[livid agate]

yes

TM

[chilly mango]

hmm

wont the fact they have the same id be a problem?

or does it just internally change the id

[livid agate]

it inherits it

[chilly mango]

so i cant inherit from a draft with a diffrent id?

[livid agate]

this method again

[livid agate]

no

use template type for that

[chilly mango]

ait

[livid agate]

for example

template is used by DSA like so

[chilly mango]

yeah, i got time

[livid agate]

[
  {
    "id": "$dsa_moon_general_template00",
    "type": "template",
    "icon frames": [{"steal":"$dsa_space_category00"}],
    "category": "$dsa_space_category00",
    "needs road":false,
    "service cars":0
  },
  {
    "id": "$dsa_command00",
    "type": "public",
    "template": "$dsa_moon_general_template00",
    "width": 4,
    "height": 4,
    "frames": [{"bmp": "moondome.png"}]
  }
]

[chilly mango]

nice

very usefull

[livid agate]

yes

[chilly mango]

wait

[livid agate]

time for a leek

[chilly mango]

other attributes?

[livid agate]

that's just ...

ignore that

[chilly mango]

hmm

[livid agate]

discord looses formatting when I put ...

[chilly mango]

ah it supports comments?

nice

[livid agate]

yes

[chilly mango]

havent tried it

Good then! 😁 😃

I started to play in December 2018 and in December 2019 I have made my first plugins.

[sinful meadow]

Im start to create plugin in March 2020

Because of pandemic i lern how to create

[sharp kettle]

I started around around oct

Oct 2020*

Not bad

[sinful meadow]

Cause i want to create futuristic pack

[sharp kettle]

It would look great if used in moon

Lets see if i can find my first plugin..

[surreal orbit]

Reminds me of a simcity omega building

[sinful meadow]

This building is base on that

[surreal orbit]

Tokyo buildings?

[sinful meadow]

Cyberpunk

Base on imagination

[sharp kettle]

Nope, i cant find my first plugin

[sinful meadow]

Next updates can get a rotation

14x14

[midnight obsidian]

it's split in 4 7x7 tiles?

[buoyant crane]

And there will be a spawn of cars from this building?

[sinful meadow]

Nope

Its hard to create to many car for 1 plugin

[unreal breach]

And we can make mini Tesla factories

[sinful meadow]

The solar panel not look the same

[static sail]

But it still looks good tho

[midnight obsidian]

@sinful meadow i like how you disliked your own plugin

[sly ocean]

great plugin

[sweet topaz]

Anyone can give me a Link to mdk rural roads ,please?

nvm i found it

[inland burrow]

To realistic

[sharp kettle]

What.. the..

[unreal breach]

What happened here?

[sharp kettle]

Looks like a 80s tv glitch..

still doing some fixing

[sinful meadow]

I suggest to make a rotation

[sharp kettle]

Its 360

[sinful meadow]

Even in ur bike line

[sharp kettle]

Im still fixing it

This isnt the final product

[unreal breach]

Make more colours, i dare you

Imagine what beautiful landscapes you can make with this plugin

[sharp kettle]

Hmm, i would take a suggestion

@unreal breach what color

[unreal breach]

Red, orange, black (yes, black beaches is real), and white (snow)

[empty night]

hey one question, how wide should i made the door?

[low loom]

What attributes should i used if im goin' to set the frame of the current tile using fun, is it "z" Or also "frame"

Paint.net

[empty night]

i just feel that the door looks weird

[unreal breach]

Make little bushes/trees

[unreal breach]

No, it looks normal

[empty night]

now i have something decently good

[sharp kettle]

Looks good

[signal lagoon]

GUI 🥲

[rain gate]

Good morning

[chilly mango]

Custom ninepatch I see

[fiery elm]

Amazingly excellent!

[rain gate]

Guys

I have a question

[empty night]

go ahead

[rain gate]

I find this photo

I don't think I can use it

[orchid sorrel]

for copying, no
for reference, yes

[rain gate]

I have found similar images, they seem like a temptation

but it's better to be original

[novel mica]

Isn’t I stock free to use

[stoic palm]

You have to pay for them

[plain python]

Nice

[slender briar]

i love it dude

great plugin

[empty night]

thanks!

[sinful meadow]

What do u think

[static sail]

what's that

[signal lagoon]

electric pole?

i think it's too big. if it can be scaled down, can be nice.

[lilac shuttle]

ways to big I 🤔

[storm raft]

I think its just right because of the details

But yea i think its big

@sinful meadow try to add invisible ground it suites it more

[orchid sorrel]

that would be at least 15 meters

[sinful meadow]

The ingame electric pole

Is 2 pixel wide

[static sail]

Is it just me or this plugin looks like it got stolen?

[empty night]

Maybe

Also what plugin is that

[stoic palm]

Jesus christ

That's abit OP

[static sail]

I know

[midnight obsidian]

looks out of scale

[static sail]

I'm pretty sure this is a stolen plugin

[chilly mango]

the blur does suggest it

[static sail]

and the amount of energy and water too

[signal lagoon]

There should be a limit to tags having a value without privilege to prevent abuse of the plugins.

[rain gate]

Good morning

Could you please lend me a programming basis for decorations?

[rain gate]

This is my first plugin

[sinful meadow]

Sand castle

[rain gate]

Yes

But i need code for decorations

[sinful meadow]

[
{
"id":"?",
"type":"decoration",
"frames":[{"bmp"?.png"}],
"height":?
"width"?
}
]

[sinful meadow]

[rain gate]

Gracias

Sorry

Thank you

:3

[sinful meadow]

Just change the question mark

[sinful meadow]

Sorry

[rain gate]

Because?

[sinful meadow]

I edited

The 1rst one is wrong

[sinful meadow]

[orchid sorrel]

add a comma after height and it'll be fine

"text" and "title" attributes could also be useful

[rain gate]

Thank you

No problem

[sinful meadow]

[
{
"id":"?",
"type":"decoration",
"title":?,
"text":?,
"frames":[{"bmp"?.png"}],
"height":?,
"width"?
}
]

How to pin the massage

[orchid sorrel]

pin?

it's not worthy of a pin

[cedar marten]

Interesting...

[orchid sorrel]

also those attributes have to be in ""

aka "text":"blah blah"

[slender briar]

great job sir ,this was much needed ,sand and grass blend like shit in vanilla

[sharp kettle]

Thank you

[rain gate]

Finally

But, i need experience about the pixelart

make a bright blue skyscraper made out of glass and plastic that is not isometric and is ripped off the internet that gives 10000000 education (high and low), park, fire dept., police, health, sport, transport, waste disposal, body disposal, religion, has 2147483647 inhabitants, gives like infinite energy and water, gives 100000000 theons and removes all pollution and noise

waht, i am not spaming

[lilac shuttle]

Lol

[livid agate]

nice try

max 64 bit integer is 9223372036854775807

but inhabitants of a building are stored as 32 bits

and signed

so

Jjsk py (2 ** 32) / 2

[pine plank]

2147483648.0

[livid agate]

then again

there is an arbitrary limit to that too built in by the game devs

[midnight obsidian]

oh wel

l

[chilly mango]

why would inhabitants be signed

[livid agate]

because java's java

[chilly mango]

you cant unsign ints in java?

[midnight obsidian]

understandable

[chilly mango]

damn

even microsoft java figured that out

[brazen crest]

is Tesla Inc

a very very

big plugin

what the hell is the biggest plugin GODDAMNIT

[sharp kettle]

Imagine if someone made a 50x50 landfill

[chilly mango]

you wouldnt have any plugin space left

[brazen crest]

TELL ME DAMN IT

WHAT'S THE BIGGEST "x" PLUGIN

MY PHONE CAN TAKE IT

[chilly mango]

well

thats not an easy answer

[brazen crest]

the TESLA FACTORY ISN'T BIG

ENOUGH

[chilly mango]

well there is a fairly tall building plugin out there

but tesla factory is about as wide as they come

[brazen crest]

TELL ME

[agile forum]

Quinston1221#7498 has been warned: mind your language

[brazen crest]

WHAT IS THE BUILDING

[chilly mango]

you will have to look for that yourself

[brazen crest]

BRUH, TELL ME.

[chilly mango]

i cant

[sharp kettle]

Is it possible to make a plugin that is bigger than 8x8 using

[chilly mango]

because i dont know

[sharp kettle]

i use https://pca.theotown.com to make plugin JSON code

This?

[chilly mango]

probably

otherwise

[sharp kettle]

🤔

[chilly mango]

its just 1 or 2 lines you need to adjust

rci has an 8*8 limit though

[brazen crest]

THEN HOW IN the world did the tesla factory

become like, almost the same sive

[chilly mango]

its not a building that can spawn inside industrial zone

only manual place

iits probably marked as a decoration or award building

[brazen crest]

It's an industrial zone

[chilly mango]

non industrial buildings can still have workers

[hybrid sedge]

[chilly mango]

also a building does not need to be industrial to be manually placed in the industrial category

[brazen crest]

What's with this inspectors?

[hybrid sedge]

[brazen crest]

And officers?

[sharp kettle]

Uhh.

[hybrid sedge]

Im an moderator

[brazen crest]

great, I hope CENSORED like you don't abuse your powers.

[hybrid sedge]

We Dont do that here

[brazen crest]

good.

[hybrid sedge]

[brazen crest]

The pigs in VK are abusing their powers and like, supporting the furries genre too much that when a man/woman says they don't like em', the furries snitch and the mods abuse their powers

but don't even ban people who does explicit and unholy stuff on the game itself.

now, back to the case,

[livid agate]

https://stackoverflow.com/a/9854205

[brazen crest]

IS THERE ANY THING

BIGGER THAN THE TESLA FACTORY

PLEASE COME ON

[livid agate]

max of RCI is 8x8

Max of any possible building is 16x16

[unreal breach]

Coca-Cola factory?

[chilly mango]

theyre about the same size

[brazen crest]

NO

JESUS

NO MY TESLA

FACTORY IS BURNING

[chilly mango]

that sounds like a terrible idea

[livid agate]

why

[chilly mango]

treating an int like an uint

what if somthing assumes its a normal int

[livid agate]

It's Java

[chilly mango]

id rather just have it a diffrent type

[livid agate]

It's always signed

[chilly mango]

in c# i could make an uint class with bitwise operations

if there wasnt a uint value type already

[livid agate]

we have that here too

[chilly mango]

dont need to though

unless i wanna store 8 bools in a single byte for some reason

[livid agate]

I get what you mean

But in terms of space efficiency, it's horrible practice

[chilly mango]

If I'm need to do that I probably should've just made it in c

[hybrid sedge]

Nice

[unreal breach]

So detailed...

[brazen crest]

what is the

uh

type?

[unreal breach]

This is museum, probably

[tulip shale]

I'm currently in the process of trying to make Washington D.C. but I can't find most of the items from the national mall such as the capitol and the Lincoln memorial. If someone could please make those that would be GREATLY appreciated as I am still learning how to make plugins

[stoic palm]

@rain gate plugin creators don't take suggestions, I'm sorry

[rain gate]

Oh, ok

[stoic palm]

But there are lots of resources here and in the forums to help you

[slender briar]

lincoln memorial is relatively simple , normal beams and a pretty flat structure

you could try it

[rain gate]

Ok, thanks

Whats this for?

[low loom]

For our add-on

Lmao

[livid agate]

They are houses alright

[cyan steeple]

@chilly mango is it possible to replace entire cars..? Let's say you have the garbage truck, and you want to completely replace it with a snow plow, would that be possible?

Shush

[chilly mango]

If you know where they are in the world texture you can overwrite them

Plugins that do that don't usually get approved though

[cyan steeple]

Hmm crap

Because I was thinking of making a Department of Transportation plugin, but they always use street sweepers, which are more logical to respond to dirty roads

[sinful meadow]

What house is that

Looks very nc

[mortal anchor]

I have not named it yet

[slender briar]

me when i see pixel art

[signal lagoon]

you can use "inherit": true if you want to replace the car frames and you won't to use the old frames.

[sinful meadow]

@ian

@signal lagoon

Sometimes its become blue

[signal lagoon]

can you send me a screenshot in debug mode (debug stats overlay) 🐞 ?

[signal lagoon]

[livid agate]

Is it FPS tied?

[signal lagoon]

if the x or y are changed, yes.

[livid agate]

oof

[signal lagoon]

yes, but not all.

[midnight obsidian]

with this whole thing it makes me think that you can make "skins" for the interface

[livid agate]

For frame independent movement

local lastMS = 0
local movementPerSecond = 42
local x = 0

function script:update()
  local ms = Runtime.getTime()
  local passedSeconds = (ms - lastMS) / 1000
  if passedSeconds <= 1 then
    x = x + movementPerSecond * passedSeconds
  end
  lastMS = ms
end

[midnight obsidian]

ah

[signal lagoon]

ah, i thought fps tied while code was running. Yes, but actually fps only affects the summation speed of the values, not as value.

[cyan steeple]

Hmm, might be able to use that then yes

[sinful meadow]

What do you think

[sharp kettle]

Awesome

Its a fence?

[sweet topaz]

that looks nice

[rain gate]

Good.

[sinful meadow]

Thanks

[rain gate]

You're welcome.

[half gulch]

How do I install plugins on iOS ?

Not the ones from the game, but the ones from the forum

[low loom]

You need pc to extract the file inside the game

[midnight obsidian]

quality thumbnail

this is kind of misleading but i think it shows all the variations pretty well

does the plugin store allow somewhat misleading thumbnails?

[livid agate]

Idk why

But looks like those layered popsicles

[midnight obsidian]

@livid agate who are the plugin store moderators?

[livid agate]

There's a usergroup for them

For example, I am one of them

lol

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=12984&p=172050#p172050

[midnight obsidian]

ah ok

https://forum.theotown.com/memberlist.php?mode=group&g=1537 so i suppose these are the plugin store moderators?

[chilly mango]

did you fix the layered Popsicles or are they still like that

[midnight obsidian]

i did fix them

[chilly mango]

nice

[midnight obsidian]

i just thought it would be a good idea to use the failed attempt because it shows the variations well

i mean, i just made separate plugin files and that's it

[chilly mango]

good point

ah

[half gulch]

Ok

[chilly mango]

thats not right

[livid agate]

ye

[chilly mango]

if you can move the zips to your plugin folder you can use them

[chilly mango]

you just need a file explorer to move the downloaded file to your plugin folder

[half gulch]

I already tried that

But it didn’t worked

[chilly mango]

where did you move them?

[half gulch]

Plugins

[chilly mango]

which plugin?

[half gulch]

Modular racetrack

By mdk_813

[chilly mango]

could be that the creator packed the zip slightly diffrently than the game wants

if you got an app to extract zips you can move the folder inside to the plugin folder

and that will work

[half gulch]

Ok

I will try that

[midnight obsidian]

this is how the plugin normally looks like, there are 2 more taller variations, but here are the first 4 variations sorted by height

[livid agate]

you might wanna use that instead

[midnight obsidian]

why not the other one

[half gulch]

I would love to see a neon plugin

With colorful buildings

[half gulch]

It didn’t worked

I think it’s because the file doesn’t has the manifest, only json

[sinful meadow]

I think 1 floor is cool

[midnight obsidian]

i'll accept that as a compliment

[half gulch]

It worked, it was the zip file, I tried to download the alternative version. Now I tried the normal version and it finally worked, thank you very much for the help

[chilly mango]

yeah plugins without manifest wont show up in plugin menu

[empty night]

I'll be honest, soemthing about this buildings makes me think it looks meh

[midnight obsidian]

yeah

i think it's mainly because of the roof

[sharp kettle]

Wait, i think that window is wrong

[midnight obsidian]

what resolution does the thumbnail have to be

does 1024x1024 fit?

[empty night]

it should

the image should be in a 1:1 aspect ratio

[midnight obsidian]

frik

@chilly mango does the plugin file have to be in .zip format?

[chilly mango]

can be in .plugin format too

[midnight obsidian]

and would raw .json and .png files work?

just not packaged and all

[chilly mango]

no

[midnight obsidian]

then what could go wrong with the zip

[empty night]

did some small fixes, but still looks a bit meh for me

[midnight obsidian]

this looks odd

[chilly mango]

oh

idk then

[midnight obsidian]

might have to ask ganyu about what happened with the zip

[chilly mango]

ye

[midnight obsidian]

@livid agate i was trying to upload a plugin and it said that the zip couldn't be extracted

what could've gone wrong

[empty night]

looking a bit better

[chilly mango]

looks abandoned

[chilly mango]

That depends on what kind of draft it's attached to

If it's a tool it will fill the screen with white squares if you enter tool

Black if you're on pc

[rain gate]

I mean the way how the hovering of a mouse pointer will affect the GUI object

[chilly mango]

This script only checks if hoverx and hoverY exist though

If you want something to happen on hover you need to check if the current tile is the same as the hover tile

Unless I'm wrong

[sharp kettle]

#plugin-showcase thats very nice

[rain gate]

the color used to draw the shadows is black with 10% transparency?

[sharp kettle]

Maybe 10% is to small

(Maybe)

[rain gate]

20%?

[sharp kettle]

But.. yea, i would recomend 10%

If the shadows looks to weak just add another layer

[rain gate]

Thank you for the information

its color is pink, in honor of the sakura tree

[sharp kettle]

Hmm, maybe shadow to soft

[rain gate]

Wow, your house is similar to one that I made for a pack.

A bit, but the shape is similar.

[floral pivot]

I continue to change building appearances a bit

This really changed nothing but the entrance and the building height tho but ok

[sharp kettle]

Yeah, the entrance is better

[rain gate]

Are perfect

Maybe there's one, but I still haven't found it lol

[sinful meadow]

Plugin name????

[modest blaze]

Somebody knows how to make fences

[sinful meadow]

"Type":"fence"

[signal lagoon]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=10423&p=165454&hilit=fence#p165454

actually, all the basics of creating plugins are available on the forum. If you know how to use the search bar, you can search by keyword.

[modest blaze]

Yeah I've gone there and copied the code but it's saying error

I did a small edit

Is it right?

[unreal breach]

Cute house

[signal lagoon]

try to the delete the space between "id" and "$atmfence"

and what you have the png image file?

[modest blaze]

Like that?

[modest blaze]

The same one from the forum

[signal lagoon]

try it, and if that still error, take screenshot of the error message

[modest blaze]

Ok

Hm

[signal lagoon]

try to add close bracket "]" after "}" in the line 12

before the comma ","

[modest blaze]

So like that?

[chilly mango]

yes

[modest blaze]

Well it worked

Now i need to make it look like an Staircase

[uneven widget]

Google Maps ? XD

[modest blaze]

Heh

Does it looks like stairs?

[uneven widget]

Kinda

[modest blaze]

Hm

How could i make it look more like stairs

Does it look like Stairs?

[midnight obsidian]

kind of, but not really

[orchid sorrel]

can't see any

there's only a single pixel

[midnight obsidian]

try messing around with shadows and stuff, that might look more like stairs

[modest blaze]

Let's see what i could do

[orchid sorrel]

you didn't specify an "id" attribute

[empty night]

The OpenTTD terrain plagin looks like garbage comapred to the game's OpenGFX grass graphics

https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenGFX/blob/master/sprites/png/terrain/grass-temperate.gimp.png
The base grass graphics if you want to compare it by yourself

[chilly mango]

I think he took a different tile

That's one of the ground decorations

[empty night]

i think he just took a scrrenshot of the terrain itself

[modest blaze]

Idk, it's a few times trying to make it look like a stair but didn't get it right

[sharp kettle]

Kinda looks like a barrier now

[modest blaze]

h

Might aswell try another time when my pixel art is better

[slate heron]

@modest blaze use dirt roads like de dirt road pirâmide dude

[modest blaze]

???

[empty night]

Ah yes, using other game's frames and not changing it at all is coming just because it's has a GNU free license

[modest blaze]

Let me guess, it's the new Openttd graphics plug-in?

[empty night]

Yep

I hope this doesn't come into a trend

Since both OpenTTD plugins are really vage

[modest blaze]

I see

I saw you talking about it a lot lately

Hello

[empty night]

I mean, if i could i could literally pick all the trains and station frames from OpenGFX and add it as a plugin

And profit

These all feel like they just want stupid diamonds

[sly ocean]

kiki is kinda famous for stoling other persons plugins/pixel arts

[empty night]

Yeah

As lzs gaming does

Thet ate just exploiting this since the OpenGFX has a GNU Lincense

And pretty much we can't do anything about it

[signal lagoon]

but, the final decision rests with the moderators.

[empty night]

Yep

If they want to reject it tho they can't use the copyright reason, they have to find another reason to disaprove it

[slender briar]

if you know anyone else who stole stuff tell me pl

[empty night]

Lzs gaming, also known as Derncho RBXL

[slender briar]

just in case ,i need to know if there are any ppl with stolen plugin antecedents

he's not in my server thakfully
