remind me UK
custom rail tracks colours are now showcased on the map
I wonder if you could get night frames for fences
You can make night frames for fences now
In fact, i'll likely make 3 variants for my light pole
road decoration ones, fence ones & decoration ones
I will likely make chairs, umbrellas and stuff
The new columns looks pretty great π
^
hi, can you give me advice to create a plugin pls
You can read the pinned messages in this channel, there are some templates and tips for start, you can also check the forum, there are tutorials and documentation about plugins
Does anyone know the json script fro ship decoration?
That qaulity though
These look like downscaled images
Hmm, i smell the quality of Jpeg
Ikr
Qaulity
Color too saturated ,lack shading and the perspective on the square thing in the back is horrid also dont use outlines
Roof and bottom are lacking ,work on that ,texture is awesome tho
K, thanks
qaulity
I'm on a highway to v o i d
Yes
@midnight obsidian yo I am figuring this out
make the -y value closer to 0
yeah Ik
but nice job so far
I am changing numbers but It already started to work
that's how it works
congration π
nice
it's fine, that's how it works
k
don't forget to add the roof π
yeah I won't
xD
the building disappears
Should I specify build height parameter?
height has to be equal width for some reason
theres no parameter for a buildings height
theres a maximum size but you wont hit it
so there is no way to fix?
whats the problem
it disappears when i scroll up
some vanilla buildings do that too but mine does to early
maybe it will fix when I add roof or idk
not likely
thats the game trying to save rescources by not rendering buildings outside of view
i dont think you can fix that
sad
yes
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N
Nc
you just specify higher building height
"build height"
k
can someone tell me if an oil rig ship thinge like this is a thing already
Wrong channel
I created a special category for shipping plugins such as docks, marinas, ship decorations, etc.
Hi there does anyone know the json script for ship decorations plug-in or this wrong channel to ask?
maybe try #plugin-support
Thank you
Voila
All 8 morris columns
Did you figure out might animations?
yes, that's how i did it
Ah okay... I solved that the same way
nope
Meant for my deleted message
good thumbnail?
Nice
probably not for plugin store, it will be pixelated
but, for anything else it's nice
crap
Btw is there a guide/tips of how to do thumbnails right?
Someone should write them
sighs
well, there's not much I can do about it
Is there a point of putting text on plugin thumbnails?
Or it'll be pixelated no matter the size?
you can put text but it should be big enough
like bottom one having additional text in it is thumbnail which is unnecessary. Just make it like the top one with the plugin name, it is better than a thumbnail without text
Yeah I was thinking about something like this
@orchid sorrel I sent it to you on the forum.
@unique pivot I cant really give advices on thumbnail
But if you are interested to see how some may look
Those are the thumbnails of the railroad expansion
I was thinking of putting cyberpunk city divided by hyperloop and plugin name on bottom
I haven't tried preview city but i had some ideas
I may try start it now
What plugin should i make for a newbie?
anything you want
buildings are easier
they don't need hard code/spritesheets
some small building, or decoration
made a spaceport (not much assets for it now)
1x1 or a 2x2 simple building that is focused on the TT elements like shadows or textures of the stuff I guess also choosing the right colors
Tower really contrasts with size of hangars but I'll add more tall service buildings
I think preview will be build like this but more compact
Thats soo cool i love the tower
Thanks a lot @orchid sorrel It's really helpful. I'll end up making some tutorial on night animations so i can help others too
especially to base
you're welcome π
by the way, I haven't found any solutions for that roof problem
I would use lua for that
Then again, it's not a major problem unlike other i've seen.
Thanks to Kulche, it now looks better
that feels very soft and comfortable
gib THOUGHT
mine ones are always more rough
100 plant coins
100 plants species are dying everyday before we are corrupting the nature with cyberpunk but check that coin tho
why are all windows the same color
windows look unshaded
make right side windows darker
working tho
idk, imma fix
so I finally figured out animations
Cool!
btw is there a way to "extrack" spritesheet from the game?
I just want to see it if possible
why would you want to do that when world textures are already available for download on the forum
There is no point but I want to see how much place it takes and how does it look
ian has done it
how
its not really "exported" though
good question
probably just gathered the frames of all drafts
I remember when I confused numbers in my car sprite and there was dsa headquarters visible
so I was pretty interested on how does spritesheet look when all drafts and plugins combined
need some shading, windows fix and entrance
It looks better but the "by..." part might not seen lol but I guess it is not a big problem because descriptions
it's 1024x1024 but ok
Hm I thought preview images decrase the image size
I love animations
I can finally make higher skyscrapers without feeling guilty for polluting spritesheet
And also mkre variants of the same build
yeah
*I cant use mobile keyboards π€¦ββοΈ *
and If i want to modify texture, I don't need to change all parts of all buildings
I just gave up
Yeah you can make designs with buildimg animation parts and use them like legos
π
btw, If i want to add night anim, should I make another array of animations?
Or is it even possible to add animation to animation, lmao?
I think you just continue editing base frame it will put the light animations up there to new parts
I am not sure tho never tried
imma add animation to animation and check if it explodes or not
my cities skylines building plugin reached 4k downloads!
nice!
inb4 a cease and desist from paradox
obviously, not sure what did you expect lol
nah, i doubt they'd care about some smaller city building game, their main revenue comes from dlcs anyways
make it so paradox acquires theotown and fills it to the brim with dlc
@keen helm a question.
Did you grant this user the approval to use your textures?
Cjmpres01
why is night animation offset if I used the same texture and same cords but repainted
protip: define your windows one by one to make them random
that's a lot of code and window images
doesn't it also save plugin space?
well I don't think it will make much difference in this case
it would need like 6 new frames
lol
and lotta code
ian's tool 
I know you're not talking to me but how the plugin look like? I wanna know how does it look like for no reason
Soon
We don't support proprietary file archive formats
will do in at max 5 years
cool
are workers auto calculated?
yes
if so, how?
can't wait for that
complex maff
it fits though
can i get help with getting train textures i can find any in the forum
so i tried opening the zip file
but for some reason
lmao
it mounted it into a d: drive
lmao
ok whatever
i'll tell you what happened in #general
Yes i did for most of my old plugins
citizens of my testing world after I demolish their zone buildings for 3rd time because they didn't build the building I wanted to see
Just started working on some more decals
Cant wait to see what its gonna look like!
It should look good π
Anyone do trains around here by chance?
Or at least I hope it'll
Well
idk
There is someone that made a very large train pack
I am very exited to see what theyre gonna look like!
and that person happens to be me
#art-n-photography my metra
Try the railroad expansion, it adds over 30 new trains, many train stations and stuff
Yep! And make sure to add the train cars, do some research on it if the pricutrs dont show the train enough, the last train car has lights on it with stripes
With stripes ? oh, seems very interesting
Thx, i'll save those pictures for later
how is this for a bridge?
kinda like this ones bridge
Oh, a bridge for a ship
yh
Well, it doesn't look good, the side really seems on the edges
just fix that and it'll be much much better
yh im fix that with putting or connecting it with something in the middile
thats for trees?
Trees can be planted above π
Can't wait to see it!
same
In fact, you can even put decorations, road, buildings or anything above it
But you can put normal decals underneath
Awesome
Ah a man of Chicago I see. The metra would be a great inclusion for commuter rail because of its fun livery
Yep!
I swear I have seen a plugin that had a train that was similar to Metra but I only saw it once before It dissapeared to god knows where
The thing is it wont be really visibke for highrise districts but good for urban districts. Can you also add snow textures soo we can use it with pixelbit's snowy suburban houses
Thobby is now my fav plugin creator
Gotta sleep
Good night.
Erm... Thobby?
Why have you forsaken me with your train pack (gravel)
New lake park
among us
Itβs a bug that has been fixed, fix will come out for next update
Rn you can use vanilla train track, itβll work better until the fix is out
That rail is only for bridge texture tho, isnt it
Where is impostower lol
very compact building
I used 2 small frames for it, even base is reused
now finally there is something to take 1x1 spaces on business district zone
requirements set for business buildings
OOF
yeah, cyberpunk is a late game thing
can i see your city
is that a zone
it looks cool
so your making a cyberpunk plugin
time to do another report of stuff I added
Bruh... why level 53? why not level 30 or 20 ... the average PLAYER rarely reaches that level
well I may do 40
I have several cities on 40-64
there is basically nothing to do in the late game
Whats that?
where you hold cargo containers
everything I've added in my Far Future/Cyberpunk mod yet
all good .. I suggest you make a drone ( with the station) to look COMPLETE
yeah I was thinking of different drone stuff
I am not close to end, though
A lot of stuff left to do
Add influence management and police and transportation in that drone
I planned to add fire/police stations +doctors in cyberpunk style that spawn drones
also ad drones
and flying cars that don't need roads
some hangars
and even more
How about train ?
Does cyberpunk have a modern train ?
Gosh I'm getting impatient >w<
there is a hyperloop road btw
and it looks very trippy with cars on it
there is a whole set of different flying cars tho
some parks and sports stuff planned soon
also noise/pollution dampeners
modern church
I already finished/started doing like half of these
Idk about the definition of megapack but i think my mod fits
cyber trees
I can't wait to make a park and name it Cyberpark 2077
lol thats gotta be a cool park
A leaves on the ground detail would be nice i think
k
?
If it work, it'll greatly optimise my plugin
And allow to create extremely complex shapes easily
Alright so my first test failed
onto the next one i guess
Unsurprisingly, it didnt work, and I think it's simply because it isn't supported yet
Next up I think i'll make newspaper kiosks from Paris
And then maybe some gas lanterns and modern lights
both in fence / decoration / road decoration variants maybe
Ty
awesome
Sounds good!
Evergiven?
I create 24x24 but suspended π₯
Yah but adding rotation in every part is too difficult
oh sad
can i see it
lol
Game Update reduce maximum size in to 16x16
that captain
@sinful meadow how do your animations look?
Animation in?
how did you split them*
Animation x and y
how do frames look?
I already send to this channel and u already seen
:0
Haha
meanwhile I am still drawing some windows
Why cylinder pillars are lighting up in day, is it how it is intended to be
why not
Oh okay
@unique pivot how s this
It's a start, still not texture and i have no idea what to turn it into
looks ok probably
supermarket, barber shop, beer garden... etc
What do humans in theotown look like
Kk thx
Tall lamppost
The guy in black totally not swat agent, guy in blue is not your fbi agent, totally
FBI OPN UP
Looks complex to me
It's supposed to be just an office building
Since the only art I ever did in my life is in only one perspective
3d or 2d,i never tried this perspective before
my own favourite buildings are these
I think I did pretty good job drawing these
even though there can be some minuses
They are nice, can you also make soo colorful neon builds too
good idea, I'll think of that
all buildings of business district zone (not sorted)
it's not much because all of them were recently created by me, without even remaking vanilla stuff
your buildings have a weird vibe
why?
Idk, I was not really inspired to work on some of them
also most of them are all grey
I am not that experienced, too
change it from "sys" to "sus"
oh I also noticed that I tend to use less saturated colors
even when I am trying to make something more colourful
Shaded the roof instead of the walls lol
YOOOOoO a CAKE
I once suggested to divide the ship into 2 (modulable ship) so each size will be (12x12) x2, if you are busy,Can I edit it I will modify it and adjust the rotation, I will (yes that is if you allow me to edit your plugins) ππ
Wow, yes π₯
the bridge so far
Getting better! I suggest a bit more curvature in the structure but overall good job!
What is code for this
obviously it depends on buildings
I'm not quite sure what you mean, that's animation
man first of all where's the shading
man stop detailing and start shading that's the main issue
how is that a sketch
Well not really a sketch
so you make a sketch but you start making details before that's even done
bro i don't care shading above all
plus doesn't look like a sketch looks like a bad artist
even if it's a sketch doesn't resemble a ship that much ,unless that's how the source image looks
How to code
.
could just use plugin creator for this
Won't work
i use https://pca.theotown.com to make plugin JSON code
An easier way to create plugins via friendly UI interface.
oof +3
what
what?
@orchid sorrel how do i get that
download the plugin
ok
Ooo
WHOA
Cool !
Elizabeth II will love this
pog
Experimenting with custom light
I will continue later
They will most likely work like fences
Mainly since fence can totally be used instead of road decoration for example
Looks awesome. π
Nc
Very work in progress yet...
nice
Basically, since it was built under the 2nd french empire under Napoleon the 3rd, eagles were a symbol of the empire back them
There could be an entire sub-category made of light pole π
I still plan to make a few more light poles
Well I like both π
And you will enjoy the train pack more once the fixes come out.
@keen helm really fantastic work
Every single "old styled" light-pole
Modern light next ? or perhaps traditional ones ?
Thats a nice night anim
How the large column / lamp post render at night
Also renders nicely on intersections
π
Nice
Beautiful, great for a turn of the century city
More coming !
All of these light will have a normal variant that act as a decoration
and some of those will also have fence / road decoration variants
And it doesnt include all the others lights i have in mind
I had an idea
I may do modular astronaut training facility for my spaceport
And some space exploration history related monuments
Nice
Current status of the plugin
No road decoration variant yet
I added fence variants already tho
It looks great! I'm in love with your plugin.
Next step is to add those 3
I wont add the modern props yet
Most likely the next thing I will do will be to add benches props, pergola, etc...
You guys cant know how hyped I am for the final result !
By the way, only the small lamp post will be a road decoration π
Simply because others are way too large
The final result is gonna be AWESOME
Can't wait for it. :3
So
right now there are 9 lamp post :
9 of the lamp post can be placed as a prop
6 of the lamp post can be placed as a prop or as a fence
1 lamp post can be placed as a prop, as a fence, or as a road decoration
Which seems like the best solution for me
Mainly because some of the props are way too tall / wide or big for such purpose
Lot of new props π
Now, last step for today
Road decoration / prop / fence decoration variant of the small lamp post
Light pole are not the hardest parts to do
but they take so long to make
anywya
anyway*
should almost be done

π€
how i can create a plugin
.
read pinned messages here
my residential building pack plugin has reached 1000 downloads! thank you for your support β€οΈ
Web link in a plugin desc. is that first?
@fierce haven when is this available? I like it.
He will add that building in the Japanese plugin pack soon (am I right @fierce haven).
wait you mean that "japanese building package" plugin right?
Yes
For creators PLEASE REMOVE THIS WALL ... THIS IS VERY INFLATING
Why does it have to be in the residential type why not the decoration type
uninstall the plugin then
I like that plugin ... but I hate the walls
But if it's changed to type decoration then that's fine
Well, just do manual building then
Yes I know ... But it would be better if this wall is turned into a non-residential type of decoration ... Quite a few people have complained about this ... I just wanted to tell the creators.
Please don't be offended, I really like this plugin package
Even i too
Yeah,... Strange devolepment
what is the name of plug in
I love the sega logo! My one suggestion is detail the ground a bit more. Maybe some people hailing a taxi or walking around
I'm not sure you can use the sega logo
change it to "seba" or something like that and you will be fine
I was wondering what copper laws mean lol
Whats the json for a plugin to have snow on winter?
winter frames
Hmmmm
For Mexican drugs hideouts
Just kidding
;-;
By the way, how is the tower bridge? Is almost finished
Ah, thanks
ΰ²₯βΏΰ²₯
Your welcome
it's an array, not an object
Any Good High-Rise City pack?
montemarino and rockfort's plugins
Montemarino, RockFort, Mario Bit and Dekuz (others as well) provide good high rise plug-ins.
Dapat Rdc yan
Katulad sa golden gate
Di pwde rdc may rotation yung pilon
#language-bar I guess?
is there a plugin that helps me fill the whole world with pipes?
no, you have to do it by your own.
Why would someone make a plugin for this oddly specific purpose lmao
road pipe
by legrater
or someone else too
Why tho?
pretty sure its for stonks
could not find it
#bot-commands message
cool
is there a way i can download all the plugins at the same time ( or at least all the plugins from a specific category )?
Why does someone's name appear differently when a plugin from them appears?
Wdym?
Different colors i think
What are technical limits for amount of plugin space? (Sprite sheet)
Depending on your vram
For most phones it should be this
More powerful phones and pcs will have more pages
My desktop has 6 pages while my phone has 1
Too much WATERMARK
Hi everyone, finally I can delete all the watermark text that is behind this png plugin
Oh yes I also added a few towers on the campus I hope the creators like it
This is actually a German cathedral but if you upgrade you will bring up the campus beside this cathedral ... The creators of this cathedral actually belong to STHEPEN (The author's writing)
I'm just trying to fix the bug and add a few nice tweaks π
Oh cool
when you have literally 2 lines and it already errors
is it not possible to get frames from a script type draft or something
everything else i do works
except getting frames
@chilly mango tried self.draft?
havent
but i already confirmed it gets the draft without problems
i can get the meta table and its entries without issues
yeah nothings changed
currently im using type: script
could be that
also now that i have your attention
i need the id for the small pickle draft
need the icon?
I finally learned to check plugin spritelist :)
was gonna suggest DSA.getJustAnyone()
but that just returns my frame
just gimme a sec then
there's like 5 different small pickles
ah
let me try switching frames to preview frames
i could get those in my other plugins
remind me to replace getJustAnyone with getJAFrame
that worked
so
script type drafts
cant get frames
but they can get previewframes
aint that wacky
im not in a hurry
script types don't inherit from viewport probably
Bruh literally half of my plugin textures is waving flags
@chilly mango listen now
there's moon pickle
there's lil disaster minion
there's lil pickle car
then there's 8x8 giant pickle
does the disaster minion destroy stuff or just vibe
it do destroy
hm
ill just make a buildable monument of the big pickle then that unlocks when you have ja equipped
probably easier than messing with the dsa drafts
but its the easiest way to load frames into code
unless theres a type dedicated for that
i guess
fine
Some vegetable. It's healthy.
very informative
let me grab some code off github real quick
[
{
"id":"$anim_giant_pickle00",

busy trying to build le big pickle
ah yes terrain
well
thats pretty much what i need
If you want tiny pickle
nah i can just get a big pickle

}]
man
Lua in json?
yes
i just append my button to sidebar and hope for the best
as for alignment
i just pray to god
just write ... "LONDON TOWER BRIDGE"
Yah
Everyone must understand
I give up on uploading plugin now.. literally after 10 tries
"That one english tower bridge"
I have several ideas for plugins to make before FF/C
Because FFC mod is too big to be my first
do you have the same id in multiple drafts in your plugin
try to change the id
Maybe it worked
GUYS how do I get the star / "featured" logo on my plugin?
Hi @unique pivot How is your cyberpunk plugin ready for release? Is it on the post (pending aproval) or something?
It's been a while since I saw that spoiler of your plugin π
I am sorry to disappoint you, but I don't think it's close to finish... I have a lot of work to do to make it actually good and fitting to vanilla
I took a small break for 2 days because I periodically lose my inspiration but I am ready to continue now
Yeah
Btw president of my country suddenly decided to make 1-10 of may holidays
And I don't have school
That means more free time
I want to ask if can I use these sakura trees in my Roadside Update. I will give credits, but it was made by Iborrobi or MDK? Because sometimes I saw people saying it was made by MDK...
Actually, the sakura tree was made by Iborrobi because the developer liked that the developer finally added the sakura (the pink one) to the game
I also use the tree in some plugins I don't forget to add credit
alright
I tought it got un accepted bc of that
I fell like im getting old
Your plugin needs to have many downloads.
Like 30.000 or 40.000
I already have 4 plugins which have reached 10,000 downloads the most of which is "Medieval Ship" which has reached 15,000
Not really .. I have seen their plugins which have just been released in a few days will immediately get "featured" MEDALS such as airport plugins etc.
Featured plugins are plugins developers like
Developers are king
Praise the developer πββοΈ
Is the "featured" system permanent? Or change all the time?
It changes.
My plugins got the featured, but now no any of them have.
Last time was the BR pack
That means our plugin has a chance to get a "featured" medal
Any plugins you have created continue to be awarded a "featured" medal.
So every month yes
yeah
make a good plugin
gitgud
exactly
about that bribe
I didn't find it in the box
did you forget it or was it stopped at the customs?
mustve been that pesky border control again
i hate drawing spherical stuff
Yes wow
do u have any plugins ? its looks really cool
yea many
you can check some in plugin store
k
have anyone plugin, whitch can transform graphicks ?
what do you mean "transform"?
just make graphicks more not pixeled lol
shaders ?
yes
wheres shaders xd
in settings
where in settings
well, you can't expect much from them
I guess "smooth" is what you're looking for, kinda
Or X-fancy
inverted 
LOL* 
trippy
I may do a russian/soviet buildings pack soon
Because I have a whole load of inspiration outside irl
after all it's just a filter
Are you sure this is a correct channel?
Lol
Tt pc
I never use shortcuts for games tho if it is in steam tho
tho intensifies my grammar so dum
Working on progress during free time
Whatβdoes it work?
idk why but it feels like you would see something like that in openttd
I like the steam punk ships
here come the annoying "ADD NIGHT FRAMES PLS" comments...
weird unfinished sphere
(don't mind weird foundation, i am reusing it and haven't reshaded it yet)
Wait what... I don't play that sheit
finally you made it again π
Can this ship sail on the sea? (Like your ferries ship)
this thing seems to be missing a shadow
what are these two blue pixels doing here
these are kind of small banners
m ok
maybe
but the plugin's fine
ok better
I personally think windows came out nice
(large blue ones)
btw this is a sort of administration to flier garages
Maybe make the top brighter
fliers will be like taxis but they act like helicopters and fly around
hm
btw fliers are going to be bubble shaped and this building is supposed to represent them
honestly i'd just ask valentine for criticism
to quote him, "idk man u ask for criticism i just look at it for 2 seconds and disect it like a frog"
i wont because i don't want to redo the shading
but by asking for criticism you are kinda asking yourself to do so
yooo a cute bubble <3
now I need to spend another 4 hours drawing garages for them
this reminds me of the steven universe
lol I'm just saying
What do you guys think the game should have as decorative props
I made another hangar which spawns $flier2 instead of $flier1 but i forgot to code $flier2 itself
as result, it spawned $flier1 and game crashed
that's my mistake but still weird
cute black flier
Definitely more industrial/fountain props
Yoo I like the sphere shadow but maybe slighty bit more shadow at the bottom, just try it I am not sure if it looks good
hm, makes sense, I'll try
yeah shading at bottom sucks a bit
weird water park or something
