Pipes under roads sounds more great value

#

At what point do you just make an external program

#

only for the animation dev tool, but if textField is not displayed on the mobile, the action calls will be replaced by a button.

It would be better if you remove this part

sharp kettle

Yeah, i agree lol

lunar snow
#

wow! someone named Lobby made an auto street lamps plugins. It's very useful

untold kraken

Oh damn, it's been so long since I've played Theotown. Last time I played I had 180 plugins, theotown's community just never fails to amaze me on how much good plugins the community can make

His newest game isnt TT tho

#

What is the plug in limit?

uneven plover
#

it changes device to device

#

if mobile there is a texture space limit

#

1024x1024 or something like that

chilly mango
#

depends on the graphics size of the plugin

#

youll fill it up pretty quickly with big skyscrapers

Shinkansen 700, WIP

#

The shinkansen 700 will be released in the release version

#

The release version will be centered around french & japanese trains, with half of the trains added this update being french or japanese and the other half being from other countries.

keen helm
uneven plover
#

when the glitch train?

#

also who accepted the same plugin to uploaded twice?

keen helm
#

glitch train ?

uneven plover
#

lol it is a random train I saw on youtube. Kinda looks like a glitch to me

keen helm
#

it's a maglev

#

L0 series

#

fastest train in the world

#

well, if you consider maglevs as train

#

otherwise, the record is held by the TGV at 574 km/h

#

L0 series ?

chilly mango
#

The nose on that boi

keen helm
#

yes

#

it is long

#

but that one will come in a later update

#

maglevs & monorails are far from a priority rn

keen helm
#

Alright, i'll test the shinkansen 700 and once it's done, i'll leave

#

i'll continue the plugin later

What are some plugins yous would recommend to the average player? Just to enhance the experience that is already set in place, or to specifically enhance a specific part like transport or decoration, etc.?

What does onScroll = function(x, y) end do?

chilly mango
#

it gets called when the users scrolls the ui element

#

for example a textbox with a ton of text in it

#

or a list of stuff

rain gate
#

What about panels, layouts, and canvases?

untold pumice
#

Where do i find the little green pixel square picture thingys to know how large your plugin is thing

#

But only 1 square

look at the pings

uhh im confused if it doesnt fit or it does fit?

Oh ok

I just wanna make a small hut

But how do i make those like ^ shaped roof?

uneven plover
untold pumice
#

im wondering how i could put that into my little hut

uneven plover
#

I remember from myself, it is possible to use layers and some other stuff in pixly but I forgot now. Sorry

#

I think I learnt them from kingtut's or rockfort's videos to how to use layers

i give up this is hard cause i suck at drawing and pixels are even worse

It’s an EMU Series 13000 subway train

From Tokyo, Japan

Quite literally the opposite side of the world from France ^^

hybrid sedge
#

Ah yes the japanese

keen helm
#

The release version will be centered around french & japanese trains with half of the trains being from one of the 2

#

Further update will be themed on others countries most likely

Try the Dutch subway train

If it's not already made

@sharp kettle eyyy broo

sharp kettle

Hmm?

storm raft
#

Do you still have this road system

sharp kettle
#

Lemme check

storm raft
#

Can you tell me the file name of it pleaseee im a bit frustrated cause i've been already findingh its name file in my folder and i cannot find it

#

Causing me this error

sharp kettle
sharp kettle

Im not very sure whats the file name is

storm raft
#

Hmmmmm @sharp kettle can it be changee?

Well, the plugin maker himself must change the id

Ohhhh okayy thankss

What make a train code?

You can find the code for the train ingame there

Does all plugin in the forum safe?

Oh ok

@rich birch I will download this for sure when it’s finished!

meh

rain turret
#

Is there a tutorial somewhere about tree plugins? Because I‘m thinking about making one.

young holly
#

How many plugins do you have installed? I am very interested because if have quite a lot and want to know what normal players have.

modest blaze
#

City Designers do have lots of plug-ins

#

I have 253 plug-ins

serene drum
#

I have 900+ lol

rain turret
#

seriously? What should I add to this. That’s literally what that building looks like in real life

slender briar
#

What is this

zealous aurora
slender briar
#

Smh

#

Since when does the plugin store have high standards?

#

Looks decent for what it is

#

That being a fugin glass pyramid

zealous aurora
#

Remember when they approved 6 orange pixels

slender briar
#

But this above wont

zealous aurora
#

A.k.a. Gasoline barrel

rain turret
#

Jup thats what I’m saying its a glass pyramid There is no detail to add

slender briar
#

Well you can

#

But it takes a lit of skill

zealous aurora
#

Again, change the text a bit. You've done the Louvre Glass Pyramid, not the entire museum, judging by the text you put, they could think that you tried to do the whole Louvre

slender briar
#

It should be transparent and show the skeleton like irl but this works too

zealous aurora
#

Oh ok, but the text still boggles me, my opinion. Bout' the building, I have no idea why they dissaproved

#

Like again, TT mods are kinda volatile, either they disaprove this or approve a single 2x3 pixels orange rectangle claimed as gas barrel

rain turret
#

I improved the shadows now a bit. If that does not get approved than I guess i wasted my day 😩

rain turret
#

Improved it again and submitted it now

uneven plover
#

it looks okay excedt door and I think you should add more content to your plugin. A single thing like that wont be good to publish for 30 diamonds I would say

#

that bmw car plugin is kinda lucky passing the moderation

rain gate
#

Update to the short lighthouse

rain turret

Yes! they allowed it

Hmmm. Sus

#

Unlike last night, this is actually suspicious

slender briar
#

Sus af

#

Plus skill needed to make em trees lacks

uneven plover
slender briar
#

Import image ,see how many colours a tree has ,if its stolen it has too many

urban grove
#

Is like ankhatori he steal asset from other game

#

Then edit them

rain gate
#

Wait he did that

slender briar
#

I could slap those trees into piskel say if theyre fake but a bit busy

urban grove
rain gate
#

does this look good?

hybrid sedge
#

why so green

#

but its okay i guess

orchid sorrel
#

make it a few pixels higher, the top floor doesn't look too good

uneven plover
#

windows too flat dude

rain gate
#

Which game did Master Phil#3747 steal the asset from?

rain turret
#

They are not stolen they are from a package and originally 3d models, I bought this package so I thought it was ok? Took it down anyways because I had problems with the sakura tree.

#

no?

orchid sorrel
#

@rain gate please

#

dont

rain turret
#

Here is the name and prove that I bought it

urban grove
#

Hmm is that allowed?

rain turret
#

Probably because I bought it? Well if its not okay I took it down already and I’m sorry

chilly mango
#

Should be fine right

rain turret
#

I hope so. But I think I will not upload it again just to make sure.

urban grove
#

Did you get permission/license?

uneven plover
#

even tho you bought it there should be terms for monetize it cuz you are gonna earnd diamonds with it

rain turret
uneven plover
#

also I didn't get the fact that people are focusing on your plugin but not other ones which also stole or has less concept in it. You are kinda unlucky lol

rain turret
#

Its made for 3d games so if its not allowed to use that would be pretty illogical

urban grove
#

What is the minimum size for theotown?

orchid sorrel
#

minimum size?

urban grove
#

Ye

#

(plugin)

#

Just wanna know

orchid sorrel
#

what do you mean by that

#

like in tiles?

#

pixels?

urban grove
orchid sorrel
#

there's none

#

I'm not exactly sure what did you mean by "minimum size in pixels" but well

urban grove
#

Well i got a error saying is too big for theotown (i think is 1024×1024)

orchid sorrel
#

obviously 1k x 1k is huge

#

A 1x1 tile is like 32px

modest blaze
#

Is there a maximun size of tiles a building could take?

livid agate
#

16x16

signal lagoon
#

also he is very lucky because he can break the habit and start by making his own work or ask permission first if he wants to use someone else's work. he can improve his abilities and that is positive for him.

rain turret

Yeah thats true, I‘m really sorry guys I promise it wont happen again. I didnt want to harm any copyright

And that legrater guy

Isn't the original author of this work MDK's?

lone cedar
#

Yup.

rain gate
#

I will credit him when it is submitted

lone cedar
#

Did you already get permission from him to use it?

and some of his plugins aren't in the plugin store

lone cedar
#

Well cool then. Good luck

if youre gonna do it once why not just make it

bro you literally paid 34 dollars to be lazy

you paid 34 bucks because you would rather be lazy and import files than make something and put effort into it

#

what

static sail

damn

slender briar
#

bro what even is going on with theotown community

#

now we're paying 34 bucks to make a few diamnonds

who needs skill am i right

and i thought it was bad when ppl were doing low effort plugins

#

now its no effort plugins !

#

god

#

jesus

#

what has this place become

uneven plover
#

No need to go on this topic much I think

chilly mango
#

or yknow

#

he already had it

slender briar
#

no pidoroid i cant

#

but yeah its not fuckin okay

#

how ppl can just buy pugins like that

orchid sorrel
#

god I wish City.load was in another module

chilly mango
#

It does look like it should be in Theotown or something

orchid sorrel
#

yeah

#

it's in City so I can only load a different map when already on a map

livid agate
#

What are you trying to do, though?

orchid sorrel
#

load a provided map from the menu

#

long story short

livid agate
#

sounds good

orchid sorrel
chilly mango
#

Is city module unavailable outside cities?

#

Man

orchid sorrel
#

that how it looks like

chilly mango
#

Guess I never tried that

livid agate
#

City stands for City

orchid sorrel
chilly mango
#

Big sad

#

Wait a minute

orchid sorrel
chilly mango
#

So that's why one of my old scripts doesn't work

#

It called City.execute

orchid sorrel
#

yeah

#

not sure why are they in the city module

chilly mango
livid agate
#

yes

orchid sorrel
#

will you pls move those functions to other modules so they actually have an use

livid agate
#

moving is bad

orchid sorrel
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

chilly mango
#

It'll only break like

#

2 plugins

#

Maybe

livid agate
#

5 different plugins are using City.load

chilly mango
#

And all 5 are dsa?

livid agate
#

DSA is not a plugin

#

Internally, speaking

chilly mango
#

I know

#

You just pretend it is in game

#

Big bamboozle

#

You can always just

#

Keep the current city.load

#

And add theotown.loadcity alongside it

#

And call it legacy support

#

And then wonder why you did it 5 years later

livid agate
#

Will probably do TheoTown.loadCity

#

And deprecate City.load

#

with it being removed in 2.0.00

orchid sorrel
#

very cool

not will

Funny thing is that mostly of these people that comment things like this have never made a plugin or when they made, they are extremely bad. I feel some hidden jealous thing in this.

"animation night light probability" to apply global anim probability

if you're wondering

it will just generate the json to use probability

its already supported by the game

but not a lot of poeple use it

I'm waiting for your pack for changing my "s bahn" fake trams into proper trams :)
And to use the TGV too ^^

Right now, just 2 trains, both japanese, have yet to be done + the modern train station & the overhead line props

this project is looking great!

Also, the overhead lines will use a voltage system ^^

sharp dawn
#

Nice .

keen helm
#

so basically you got 25kv overhead line for example

#

though it'll come later.

#

Also, as for the rails

#

the long-term objective is to have different kind of rails based on different locations

#

like NYC subway rails, paris subway rails, etc...

#

each with its own textures

#

I hope there will be rails in grass
In order to put some greenery in ours cities :)

third rail in the UK is 750V DC

Rails on grass are planned for later, just like tramway tracks on grass

Oh okay , good

modest blaze
#

The trains can work on the vanilla rails aswell?

keen helm
#

Yes !

#

not all tho

#

tramways, maglevs & monorails cant use vanilla rails at all

modest blaze
#

Oh, that's sad, it could be useful with the Philippine rails

#

Since there are not rails in geass yet

keen helm
#

Well, irl they cant use train tracks at all.

#

it's not a worry anyway since tramway tracks are already added and since maglev & monorails are planned for later

modest blaze
#

Oh, nice

#

You could do Custom tramway rails, that could help

keen helm
#

Right now the only variant of the tramway rails that exist are the concrete soil one

#

But in the future it is planned to have some transparent ones

#

as well as some more unique ones 🙂

French 25Kv catenary for high speed trains

modest blaze
#

Sure, I don't want to pressure you, it's just an idea to make things easier

keen helm
#

^^

keen helm
#

So there will be 2 catenary rn

#

Caténaire 25kV & Caténaire 1500V

#

both from France

#

I might also add french railway signaling

lone cedar
#

This is amazing! It honestly brings a more TTD vibe to TT.

#

Only idea is to add some American trains

keen helm
#

American trains are, i'll be honest, not really a priority ^^

#

Tho some will definitely get added

#

For now, the main focus is to finish a few japanese trains and it'll be released

#

V. 1.0 : Release - French & Japanese update
Mod released :
Additions :

  • Added 5 new kind of tracks (Maglev, Monorail, High-Speed, Subway & Tramway)
  • Added 19 Trains :
  • 5 French trains
  • 5 Japanese trains
  • 9 other trains
  • Added new train station props
  • Added new train platform props
  • Added new road decoration props
#

this is the changelog

#

not released yet, of course

#

but soon to be.

lone cedar
#

Yeah American trains kinda suck...

keen helm
#

Well, it's not just that

#

most updates will be themed around something specific

#

like the release will be themed around french & japanese train networks.

lone cedar
#

Ah that's really neat

keen helm
#

second update might be themed around old & new trains (eg. maglev, monorails, steam trains, etc...)

#

Eventually there will be an american themed update

#

Especially for freight trains

#

Perhaps also a fictional train update....

#

Snowpiercer update 🙂

lone cedar
#

Ooh fun. When you do america I recommend the Acela for passenger.

keen helm
#

Acela express is planned

#

It’ll be one of the higher speed trains that gets added

lone cedar
#

Ooh cool.

#

Can't wait to see it!

keen helm
#

Right now, 2 japanese trains are planned

#

Plus 1 to 3 train stations props

#

And then it’ll be released

#

Most of the work is done

#

So i should be free soon

what is the bmp and the texture name?

orchid sorrel

"bmp" is constant, it doesn't really matter

id?
what is it?

orchid sorrel

your unique id

each building has one, make sure those do not conflict

sweet topaz
#

how im sure they dont conflict?

orchid sorrel
#

make them unique, like starting with your nickname

sweet topaz
#

ah ok , thanks again...

orchid sorrel
#

Each object has to have a unique id to identify it. So you should add some specific information about the plugin to ensure nobody else ever gonna use this id. Avoid changes to the id afterwards, as it is used to identify buildings in saved cities. Buildings with unknown id cannot be loaded.

chilly mango
#

The pattern i always use is $plugin_name_here00

orchid sorrel

I use $name_plugin_object00

how can i add the number of workers

@orchid sorrel ?

1200 is far too large

sweet topaz

i watched a Kingtut tutorial

especially for a commercial

sweet topaz

then 200

orchid sorrel
#

I don't recommend adding influences to rci buildings since they are built automatically

sweet topaz
#

it has a observatory...
that why park influence

orchid sorrel
#

around 20 would be ok

sweet topaz

k

chilly mango
#

Also id should describe the building it's from

orchid sorrel
#

yeah, it definitely isn't unique

sweet topaz
chilly mango

That's good

sweet topaz

then changed the id to something more unique

New modern / old train station coming

There is already a 19th century like station so a 20th century like station will come soon as well

Nice! If I ever make any trains/stations worth putting in the game I’ll have to get advice from you.

fun fact 🙂

#

The train station are all decorated inside^^

Right now the main focus is the structure of the train station

Right now it's turning out great

It's also turning out harder than expected tho

(btw i'll send a picture of the 223 series)

comes with super cool glass

and will come with super cool glass roof

It'll also come with some decorative props for the train station

#

Alright

#

i think it's good

lone cedar
#

It’s also elevated which is amazing

keen helm
#

There are both elevated and non-elevated variant

#

not all stations will have non-elevated or elevated variants tho

#

Alright, modern train station is done

#

let's code it and see the result

#

Eventually, more components for train station will be added

#

so each style of train station will have its own category

#

very satisfied with the result

#

and the night render looks even better

modest blaze
#

Nice

keen helm
#

Now i just want to add one last part ^^

#

alright, now i'll add an entrance and this specific train station will be done

#

Also, i decided that every single type of train station would have its own category

rain gate
#

In total there are already 25 houses of the American working class. 5 more and I post it as finished. All have winter versions.

So, each type of train station will have its own category

#

It spawns trains but super rarely

the amount of train spawned is scaled on the amount of train station "beacons"

it's usually not a good idea to start learning from the advanced things
