#

wait if you use the PRIVILEGED code because for that json you need that PRIVILEGED code

unique pivot
#

?

rich birch
#

You can't create a waste management plugin without theotown privileged code

unique pivot
#

ah

rich birch
#

But the privileged code is kept secret from the public, only members of the "trusted creators" can use the code

empty night
#

Just check yhe changelog

rich birch
#

🤯

unique pivot
#

wdym I don't get it

#

What does it mean?

empty night
#

Just ignore what he said

unique pivot
#

waste disposal is supposed to be for trusted creators?

empty night
#

No need for priviliged code

unique pivot
#

ok

#

Now my plagin has a building that transforms garbage into green energy - another goal finished

rich birch
#

For further questions, try asking the developers, good luck

unique pivot
#

I will work on texture now

#

btw I kinda like how windows turned out

Can I see the json ?

unique pivot
#

Tidal power plant or something idk, doesn't look very good

sage nymph
#

uhhh

#

what are the Must-have plug-ins

rich birch
unique pivot
#

Even though it doesn't look very good, I still like the idea of industrialising ocean

#

It's supposed to be something close to this

sage nymph
#

oh that's hella xool

unique pivot
#

black version

#

They aren't very powerful, though. you will need a lot of them to feed a city

#

(Maybe they are a bit too underpowered)

#

I think they can be kinda useful for island/ocean cities

unique pivot
#

I started redrawing the megabuilding H8

unique pivot
#

in process

unique pivot
#

Bruh it sucks a bit

#

I have no idea how another side of the building looks

#

And there is not much content about it

#

Yet I can't play the game myself

#

I guess I'll just mirror the left half with minor changes

unique pivot
#

I'll probably mirror it to get the other side (Ofc with shading and different texture

unique pivot
#

what do you think? (still working)

sinful meadow
#

Very nc

unique pivot
#

the best tall building in plugin so far

sage nymph
#

very cool

sick rune
#

That's an interesting color palette

#

Reminds me of old copper

unique pivot
#

this is a pixel redraw of this (cyberpunk 2077)

#

That game is a huge source of inspiration, though

#

I may draw some buildings like this, but with my own designs

unique pivot
midnight obsidian
#

@unique pivot i'd recommend you to learn using animations, they really help with saving plugin space

unique pivot
#

yeah, I'll need them for some buildings

midnight obsidian
#

👍

unique pivot
#

but idk how can they help in this one

midnight obsidian
#

i only use animations for height variations, but i think you can also set ids for different images and be able to put them on the building

#

correct me if i'm wrong

unique pivot
#

still unfinished, just testing

#

I have almost no info on roof so I'll have to improvise

midnight obsidian
#

animations could help with these two buildings that are circled in red

unique pivot
#

yes

#

that's what I was talking about

#

Are there good tutorials of animations with stacking floors?

midnight obsidian
#

i just work off of templates

unique pivot
#

btw I kinda like this scale comparison

midnight obsidian
#

(by templates i mean using my own code and changing it)

orchid sorrel
#

animations are just coordinate stuff and there's like 5 tutorials on forums

unique pivot
#

I will search for them

orchid sorrel
#

you basically have to define an animation and append it to a building

midnight obsidian
#

if i understand it correctly, you first have to define ids for the images you'll use, and then for each building you have to set the positions for ids and do the other attributes like type and stuff

orchid sorrel
#

yeah, kind og

#

og

unique pivot
#

I kinda get night frames

#

But for now I don't have knowledge for stacking frames

midnight obsidian
#

the hardest part of animations would probably be setting the first few "stacks" or whatever you'd call those

#

it's mainly trial and error until you find the pattern

unique pivot
#

I still don't get cords in night animations

orchid sorrel
unique pivot
#

huh?

orchid sorrel
#

0,0 is the leftmost pixel of the base tile

midnight obsidian
#

y is the important one if you'll just do floor variations for buildings

unique pivot
#

My night frames are mostly repainted original frames

#

With same dimensions

#

How do I get y for that?

midnight obsidian
#

decrease y = frame goes up
increase y = frame goes down

orchid sorrel
#

y is usually negative

midnight obsidian
#

yeah

orchid sorrel
#

unless you have a wideass building

unique pivot
#

@midnight obsidian so can you show me your template code?

midnight obsidian
unique pivot
#

Yeah Ik

#

If it's not secret, can you show me the part of that code (with all ids and stuff removed ofc)

#

Btw, are simple animations shown on top of building frames?

orchid sorrel
#

yes

#

you can probably use animation fg to draw them behind

unique pivot
#

I wonder if is possible to make an animated billboard, and make it as night animation which doesn't turn off at day

@stray radish by saying that you can learn this yourself, we don't want to insult you or something, remember that

@stray radish do it yourself

@stray radish doesn't matter if you give ideas or request plugins, the response will most likely be the same: do it yourself!

How big a mod should be to count us "megapack"?

keen helm
#

Bigger than my evergrowing train plugin

#

jk ofc

#

On a sidenote, i guess i now have to see if i can make my trains have diagonal rotations...

#

Eh... will take a lot of time if i do so

rich birch
keen helm
#

Oh it’s fairly easy

#

There are several different flags for roads / trains

#

Flag train
Flag tramway
Flag subway
Flag high-speed
Flag maglev
Flag monorail

Each flag correspond to a specific type of rail track, vanilla ones correspond to Flag Train while subway rails correspond to Flag subway for example.

rich birch
#

So that's what I'm confused about .. what's the difference between Rapid rail and gray rail d

keen helm
#

In order to have your train spawning

#

Gray rail is for tramway

#

But i’ll tweak the game eventually

rich birch
#

Does the depot have to be built a lot so that trains appear? My friend is asking about this. Can you explain how your train spawn system is?

keen helm
#

subway tracks : Used exclusively by subway trains but can provide free tunnels
high-speed tracks : Used exclusively by high-speed trains and allows those to go even faster, tunnels are cheaper

Monorail tracks : Used exclusively by monorails
Tramway track : Used exclusively by tramways
Maglev tracks : Used exclusively by maglevs

Vanilla track (the base game ones) can be used by all trains except monorails, maglevs & tramways

#

In order to have your train to spawn, you need to build a depots, each depot when upgraded will only spawn 1 train, in order to have more, build more depots.

#

Having a depot wont be enough tho, you also need "arrival platforms" which are the buildings all the trains will try to go to

rich birch
#

How about rail crossings What happens if there is a cross between them (such as roads with rails, railroad tracks with tram tracks, etc.)

keen helm
#

Some rails cant have crossing, that is the case for monorail, maglev & high-speed trains for example

#

Others can have crossing such as tramway, vanilla rail & subway tracks, but only with roads, not with different kind of tracks

rich birch
#

But until now I haven't found your maglev with your steam train are they still under development?

keen helm
#

I haven't added any train filling those categories yet

#

They are planned for later since most are either on-going irl projects or retired trains and my plugin mostly aims to add current trains

#

I also want to learn to make rotation aware smoke animations before working on steam trains

rich birch
#

Oh so fine, thank you for the information, keep working 😊

#

Hopefully you will build a new station again ;)

keen helm
#

However, the main focus for future update could very well be the implementation of diagonal trains & roads

#

tho diagonal rails will come later once diagonal bridges are supported

keen helm
rich birch
#

I really like stations with clocks, but why the price of a clock tower is 2 million theons, I hope you will make a station that is more modern and futuristic like a maglev station etc.

#

😆

static sail
#

I asked you to do it by yourself, no one is going to make it dumbo

keen helm
#

The clock tower cost 2 millions because it provide a massive railway influence @rich birch

Basically, one clock tower will greatly enhance the influence of your large train station

Another FUN FACT
for now theotown has plugins around 1824
The creator who has the highest number of published plugins goes to Sergio223 (132 plugins)
And the creator with the highest number of plugin downloads goes to Montemarino (±1,3 m download)

What plugin adds the most contents?

#

Are there any plugins which add a lot of stuff on some theme, like my cyberpunk plugin?

-MAX' RAILROAD EXPANSION
-SEOBINA UNIVERSITY
-And others (there are so many)

**Description**

New update : v.3
improved the roof texture,
improved the platform texture,
improved the train texture,
Added 2 new train textures

The description :
A steam locomotive is a type of locomotive that uses steam engine power to pull a series of trains. Steam locomotives use coal, wood, or oil as fuel to produce steam in a boiler. This steam then drives the piston which is mechanically connected to the driving wheel
Completed with the classic train station...
I suggest you to use other train plugins as well to make it look more flexible
I hope you like it ;)

Nice

unique pivot
#

Can someone give me forum link to ship tutorial?

rich birch
chilly mango
#

then the functions you want to run will be something like lua function script:nextMonth() Debug.toast("Hello Month!") end

unique pivot
#

I tried this and it worked

chilly mango
#

theres a host of functions to choose from

unique pivot
#

I kinda understand the syntax, I guess

chilly mango
#

which will get called for certain events

unique pivot
#

As I understood, code like this should be put in separate file, does it?

chilly mango
#

yes

#

it should be in a .lua file in the same folder

unique pivot
#

So all code stuff should be in a separate .lua file?

chilly mango
#

yes

chilly mango
#

and in your json youll have a block with json "script":"myscript.lua"

#

then the script will be bound to that plugin draft

unique pivot
#

Okay

#

Today I have read a tutorial with that switch - lamp toggle thing

#

With fun variable

chilly mango
#

ah fun

unique pivot
#

And it didn't have lua script.... Fun variables don't need this?

chilly mango
#

fun is an entirely diffrent thing

unique pivot
#

Ah okay

chilly mango
#

its more limited and complicated but can be used to do basic things

#

it used to be the only way to do scripting before lua

unique pivot
#

Like toggling animations on clicks?

chilly mango
#

but now that lua exists there is little reason to use it

unique pivot
#

Or do some basic stuff?

chilly mango
#

it can probably do that

#

but so could lua

unique pivot
#

So there is a way to activate building animation in lua?

chilly mango
#

well

#

sort of

unique pivot
#

How

chilly mango
#

lua is bettter for manually drawing the frames into an animation

#

you can set a buildings frame using lua

#

you can pause its animation

#

or set it to a diffrent frame in the animation

#

but changing it to a diffrent one is not possible

unique pivot
#

Oh okay

#

Is there a tutorial on this?

chilly mango
#

nvm i stand corrected

#

according to documentation i think its possible

#

there is no tutorial for this

unique pivot
#

Okay...

#

Also, last thing, how do I actually impact demands like airports do?

rich birch
#

By the way, does your spaceport have a cyberpunk airport?

#

Like futuristic terminals and others

unique pivot
#

It's like airport but without runways and with hangars

rich birch
#

😁

chilly mango
#

that is currently not possible

unique pivot
#

I want to make something like terminals, just like in airports

chilly mango
#

you can suggest it though

unique pivot
#

I don't even know how should it work myself

chilly mango
#

you could just make it a rci building

rich birch
#

FUN FACT
The average gender of theotown players is male
It's rare to find female players (even in my country)

unique pivot
#

Btw I don't even know how to build airports in vanilla... Like, in which pattern should I put all these terminals and entrances in vanilla by original idea?

rich birch
#

Vanilla ?

unique pivot
#

Can someone show me basic airport setup in vanilla (without mods), as intended by devs?

#

Because it will be hard to replicate airports without knowing how they work

midnight obsidian
#

is it possible to have a building without an image (you basically set the pixel's x and y coordinates via code)?

#

just wondering

rich birch
#

Wow this simon is indeed amazing, by the way do you have any plans to release it such as notification of the release date and so on

chilly mango
midnight obsidian
#

i still need to create the thumbnail for my plugin

unique pivot
#

My ideas on spaceport are:
Entrances, terminals, spaceport zone, tower and transport road (zone, tower and road already finished)
Hangars that spawn airships (helicopters) with huge transport influence
Hangars which spawn big airships will need additional building, as staff office, comm-network and service hangars
And some decorations

chilly mango
#

dont know if that might crash

midnight obsidian
unique pivot
#

So in spaceport, instead of runways, you'll need arrays of hangars which will spawn airships flying around

chilly mango
#

i have no idea if that will work

unique pivot
#

All of this seems possible

chilly mango
#

or grab a transparent pixel?

unique pivot
#

Huge airships will be very hard to draw but I'll try

#

I, in fact, already made 1 hangar and 1 small ship

#

There is a spaceport tower, imma find a screenshot

rich birch
#

By the way, did you make plugins using your cellphone or computer?

unique pivot
#

I bought steam version especially for creating this plugin

unique pivot
#

I will add another transport thing soon

#

That will spawn flying "bubbles", basically taxis that don't need road

#

It will also need some sort of control building and hangars

#

It fits my idea of adding as much useful content as I can

#

It will be epic if I actually figure out how to make a zone with it's own auto buildable houses

#

I have an idea of how do I do this

chilly mango
#

that works?

#

epic

midnight obsidian

why not?

I finally figured out custom zones with their auto buildable buildings

orchid sorrel
#

👏

unique pivot
#

I will add cyberpunk business district

#

Like in cities skylines

#

As I remember, It takes industrial demand but doesn't pollute or anything

unique pivot
stray radish
#

Hi guys

#

I want any one help me in this add light and shadow and write Json

unique pivot
#

you need to draw shading yourself

stray radish
#

How I try but always

#

Refused

#

And light

unique pivot
stray radish
#

What is your opinion???

#

First

unique pivot
#

It looks cool but definitely lacks some shading/noise

stray radish
#

If one can help me and take 2plugins to publish by himself

sweet topaz
stray radish
#

Like what

#

???

static sail
unique pivot
#

all corporate skyscrapers for now

#

they look similar because they are edited version of 1 building

#

I didn't have enough time to draw from scratch, will draw more soon

#

Maybe I should make autobuildable building with different influences

#

As example, some auto buildable transport corp with bus influence

#

Not really useful but kinda cool i think

tidal trench
#

Such a question, in gta San Andreas there is a small town, Bayside, can I use the buildings from there and create a plugin ?

uneven plover
#

yeah why not also you can check RockFort's plugins there should be san andreas plugin too

uneven plover
#

imagine TT had plugin devs like minecraft modders who can done plugins like DSA or rjordan's colony plugin and adds completly new gameplay to game, would be awesome

keen helm
#

It’s a lot of time to dedicate to a game tho

#

But yeah it would be awesome

@fierce haven

#

Interesting pfp

storm raft
#

@keen helm yooo can i ask if your gonna have another update on your train pack???

keen helm
#

Most likely

#

But it likely will just be an update that improves the rails and adds a few props

#

Others major updates will come much later

storm raft
#

Ohhhhhh nice nice uhhh can you add a platform with a bench on the middle it kindda looks nice when placed down

#

Though i have use s different bench for a mean time

lone cedar
#

@keen helm if I ever get around to making some textures would you have any interest in use them in the set?

keen helm
#

Sure, why not

#

by the way

#

I saw your comment about the trains not being aligned

#

i thought there was no solutions but i found one so i'll fix those

storm raft
#

Ooo sweet thanksss

rich birch

#

can anyone make a plugin of road advertisement which says = " STAY SAFE WEAR MASK"?

midnight obsidian
rain gate
#

oh

chilly mango
#

As a plugin creator

#

DIY

hybrid sedge
#

Yes DIY

uneven plover
#

It is soo easy to do

chilly mango
#

its "easy"

midnight obsidian
#

it's as easy as wavedashing

chilly mango
#

even easier than super walljumping

rain gate
#

Its as easy as making a plugin of a road advertisement that says STAY SAFE AND WEAR MASK

sharp kettle
keen helm
#

Currently fixing the trains textures

#

Once that is done

#

I'll work on some bridges

#

and then... who knows

sharp kettle
#

(Just doing it bc im bored lol)

sudden minnow
#

hi anyone knows any good port plugins

sudden minnow
rain gate
#

I am dumb and all but can you create plugins on android? I mean you basically just need a Code writer like notepad, etc and a pixel art creator

livid agate
#

Yes

rich birch
rain gate
#

Another question, what's with the price on the forum? How do you get said currency?

sudden minnow
#

also anything on the green thing

rain gate
#

Is it real money or something else?

rich birch
#

Wow wow wow bro...
If I get paid in cash .. then making plugins is my job

sudden minnow
#

how do i get that green layer at the bottom i want to use it as a guide line

rain gate
#

You draw it

midnight obsidian
sudden minnow
#

whats the size of one

midnight obsidian
#

check the pins

rain gate
#

Oh ok

#

Always check pins, lesson learned

midnight obsidian
#

h

#

here are the templates

rain gate
#

i wanna build a narrow gauge railway now

#

Or a tank ai

sudden minnow
#

i imported it

rain gate
#

Yeah

#

You draw on it

#

Yes

sudden minnow
#

cool

rain gate
#

It isn't centered

#

The perspective is new to me

#

It's like red alert perspective

sudden minnow
#

oh

#

well im making my own port plugin like its a big container ship being built in a huge dock it gonna take a while to finish

sudden minnow
rain gate
#

Narrow Gauge Train

#

Based on Rheneas

#

It's not centered so I'm gonna remake it

sudden minnow
#

wait

#

what dont mobile apps have a center drawing button

rain gate
#

???

sudden minnow
#

@rain gate that

feral marsh
#

Upgrading...

sudden minnow
#

cool

unique pivot
#

looks retarded

#

(unfinished)

rain gate
sudden minnow
rain gate
#

This is called a sprite

#

It isn't at the middle

keen helm
#

Is that a steam train ?

unique pivot
#

well if you were on pixel that button would do exactly what you want to do

sudden minnow
#

oh well for me the sprite goes in the middile too

rain gate
sudden minnow
#

i suck at drawing but i like art XD

#

this is my first plugin a tower

stray radish
#

Hhhhhhhhh

echo prairie
#

h

#

Anyways last pinened message

unique pivot
#

p#op and 🇵ee HQ

rain gate
#

I'm gonna make tracks and rolling stock for steam locos now

sudden minnow
rain gate
#

Yes, why?

sudden minnow
#

i like ships and i can try to make a train on a ship

sudden minnow
keen helm
#

Future plans for the plugin

#

Maglev tracks

rain gate
#

I'll make the trains i would liek to make

#

Like express, freight and flying kipper

keen helm
#

Using ground decals, i might make something like that

lunar snow
# sinful meadow

well i mean the diagonal one look a litte big compared to the "straight" frame (i forgot what is it called)

#

@sinful meadow

rain turret
keen helm
#

Also, would you guys like a "street decorations mega-pack" ?

#

with benches, tree plots, street ads, billboards, etc...

unique pivot
#

Sounds good

keen helm
#

Also i might end up making a "light pack"

#

with road decorations, decorations, etc...

#

that all light up at night

unique pivot
#

I was thinking to do fences+ pack before cyberpunk mod

#

but someone might've taken it already

keen helm
#

There is a lot of fence you can make

#

Anyway, right now my priority is to make a third bridge for my plugin

unique pivot
#

I think i'll do fences soon

keen helm
#

Right now i am focusing on bridges

sudden minnow
#

how does this cargo ship look? (unfinished have to add some detail)

midnight obsidian
#

remove the outlines

#

looks messy

#

no shading

#

no shadows

sudden minnow
#

ok

unique pivot
#

pipes have no good base

#

left one also should be slightly taller

#

that feeling when you're listening to red alert metal soundtracks while drawing plugins

sudden minnow
unique pivot
#

just make them circled like at the top

sudden minnow
#

ok

unique pivot
#

Btw I made a building which is an edited version of another one

#

because I feel too lazy to draw something new

#

at least this one got windows and adblock

rain gate
#

Oh wow making plugins hard

#

How to make plugins lol xd

#

Is using the plugins creator a bad idea or not

unique pivot
#

For basic plugins it's a ok idea, if you're starting

keen helm
#

Such a plugin would likely include a hundred props

#

so it would most likely be a large collab

rain gate
#

It's a start..

#

A very scuffed building, thoughts?

unique pivot
#

scale is kinda too big

rain gate
#

Wdym?

#

Oh ok

unique pivot
#

better

sudden minnow
#

i have no idea what to add for detail its very barren

unique pivot
#

noise, texture

sudden minnow
#

what

unique pivot
#

take inspiration from real ships

sudden minnow
#

i did but i dont know how to add the pole at the front

unique pivot
rain gate
#

What vibe does it emit?

unique pivot
#

some T commercial garage

rain gate
#

"Rent Garage Here"

#

Where can i get car textures

#

To use for parked vehicle

sudden minnow
#

is there a thing as ship textures?

rain gate
#

Ye

unique pivot
#

yes

rain gate
#

Should i shade the roof of my texture?

sudden minnow
#

so how do i use it

unique pivot
#

there are multiple sprite sheets

#

i usually download sheet I need, crop it in paint, import in piskel and clean background

unique pivot
rain gate
#

Is there a "Track" thing on plugins creator or do i have to learn it the hard way?

unique pivot
#

wdym track

rain gate
#

Tracks for trains

#

Railroad

unique pivot
#

I think roads/railroads are not plugin creator thing

rain gate
#

So i have to learn it myself?

unique pivot
#

idk what about rails

midnight obsidian
# unique pivot

every time i see a building with a repeated pattern, i just can't stop thinking about animations

unique pivot
#

yeah this was preview

#

I'll figure them out soon

#

I promise (probably)

midnight obsidian
#

they're not hard imo

#

just copy some code and then trial and error to find the correct positions

unique pivot
#

I just need to find the syntax

#

btw do you just need to paste the string over and over?

midnight obsidian
#

i think so

#

as i said, i just work off of templates

unique pivot
#

I don't even have templates, I need to make them

#

@midnight obsidian can you show me your animation definition and template, please?

midnight obsidian
#

i kinda want to make a 16th building for my pack

#

and maybe even a 17th building

unique pivot
#

I wonder if can I find something like this near my house

#

can you show me your animation definition and template, please?

rain gate
#

Thoughts?

midnight obsidian
#

hold on

#

i'll actually create a template because i consider templates as my own code and just reuse and "rebrand" the code

unique pivot
#

I mean, can you show me example of code?

#

if you don't mind

#

because I can't find it anywhere

rain gate
#

There's a road in the plugins creator

unique pivot
#

it's grayed out

rain gate
#

Yup

#

The plugins creator won't load day ruined

unique pivot
#

this is like that for everyone

#

don't be sad, just learn coding roads yourself

#

there is a tutorial

rain gate
#

Link please?

unique pivot
#

I threw it in chat before

rain gate
#

Thanks

#

Time to get spriting

#

Anyways, thoughts?

sudden minnow
#

that pretty good

rain gate
#

Found the tutorial for trains

#

Or the free code for trains

#

Gravel

unique pivot
#

white points are too bright

#

also I recommend you making noise on outline too

rain gate
#

Alright

midnight obsidian
rain gate
#

Better?

midnight obsidian
#

@unique pivot i finished the template

unique pivot
#

I meant, all of them

#

just change color

#

ah

#

can you show it please?

#

thanks

midnight obsidian
midnight obsidian
unique pivot
#

thats just preview

midnight obsidian
#

install file

unique pivot
#

I am checking how will they look when stacked

#

thanks

rain gate
#

What are animations for?

unique pivot
#

for animations

midnight obsidian
sweet topaz
#

animations ofc bruh

rain gate
#

Well yeah i know but I thought it meant something else here

#

Anyways

midnight obsidian
rain gate
#

Should i add wooden sleepers?

unique pivot
#

@midnight obsidian can you explain me what basically happens with your code? lemme check

#

is the first animation top of the building?

midnight obsidian
unique pivot
midnight obsidian
unique pivot
#

k, I'll try, thanks

rain gate
#

Anyways, thoughts?

orchid sorrel
#

what is that?

rain gate
#

An ugly railroad track

#

Narrow gauge

#

Didn't add sleepers yet

orchid sorrel
#

they aren't straight

rain gate
#

Since its in a perspective

orchid sorrel
#

they should go 2-1-2-1

rain gate
#

Oh ok

#

Looks curved

orchid sorrel
#

not quite sure what are you trying to achieve?

unique pivot
#

2-right, 1-up, continue

#

I guess?

#

look at the border pattern

rain gate
#

Why would i make ballast

orchid sorrel
#

that's not exactly what I meant

rain gate
#

Oh ok

orchid sorrel
#

the perspective is incorrect if you're going for a straight railroad track

midnight obsidian
orchid sorrel
#

it has to be parallel to the border

rain gate
#

Gotcha

sweet topaz
#

2-1 , 2-1 rule

#

good there

midnight obsidian
#

is this correct btw

sweet topaz
#

mmhmm
yes

orchid sorrel
#

I also think the lines should be closer to eachanother

#

it has to be a wideass train to roll on such tracks lol

#

great job so far

chilly mango
#

hmm yes angles

rain gate
#

It's gonna be a British train rolling

#

Wait

midnight obsidian
rain gate
#

To come think of it

#

British trains are small

#

Narrow gauge

midnight obsidian
#

wait i'm kinda dumb, shouldn't it be like this

orchid sorrel
#

depends where you start

#

doesn't quite matter

sudden minnow
#

this is where im at

unique pivot
#

@sudden minnow nice but wrong angles

unique pivot
sudden minnow
#

ik

#

im really trying

#

im really imppressed of how i did the logs

#

@unique pivot is this better

unique pivot
#

Red box is better

#

But there is some 1 pixel slide

#

Edges should be 2 pixels tall, and tops/bottoms 4 pixels

#

But generally it's better

#

Also stripes on log are slightly wrong directed

sudden minnow
#

ok

#

ok this is better? also i want to put a train engine in front

unique pivot
#

Better

#

I can slightly redraw and fix some stuff for you tomorrow

sudden minnow
#

oh thanku

chilly mango
#

also the black lines on the inside of the hold should probably be more of a dark grey

sudden minnow
#

im try making a better bridge

#

ok

keen helm
#

You can now have planters for your trees 🙂

uneven plover
#

nice idea

keen helm
#

by the way it's not a ground decoration

#

instead, it's the first use of the decal level system

keen helm
#

@uneven plover it's getting better and better

#

you can even place buildings on it

#

The potential of this is huge

#

wait

#

I actually got an idea

#

Bike lanes that are actually decals

#

Oh jeez the potential of this is infinite

inland burrow
#

very good
