[rich birch]

will you ever update the "office zone" plugin and release it to the store??

[uneven plover]

I dont want to add night animations to messy animated floors soo I wont update it, it is a community plugin soo anyone can update it and with all contributor's permission the guy who updated the pack can publish it on PS and forum

It should be on forum for other people who wants to update or change the codes

[unique pivot]

ah ok

[uneven plover]

you can use it if you want or create your own

I am sure everybody will give permission

[unique pivot]

btw

is there any way to include .exe in plugin and make a button which launches there?

I am almost sure there is not

but asking just in case lol

[uneven plover]

hmm like once you press a button in TT it will run something (like internet explorer)

[unique pivot]

yeah

but

I will put my own program there

and if you're on pc you can launch it from the game

[sharp kettle]

Btw, simon

[unique pivot]

yes

but

you need to use frame:0 and frame:1

[uneven plover]

animation dev tool by ian has a button which opens animatiopn dev tool forum topic but not sure about your height map program

[unique pivot]

like in buildings which have 2 frames

[sharp kettle]

Hm

[unique pivot]

I usually made two animations for 2 directions but not the best way probably

[sharp kettle]

Ohh

[unique pivot]

this is my neon line

and it doesn't have frames because it's made of light anyway

[unique pivot]

is animation def tool coded in exe?

for exe*

[sharp kettle]

Ty, ill try it later

[uneven plover]

I dont know but 1 sec there is a open source ian just posted

[unique pivot]

you're welcome :P

[sharp kettle]

Ill make a street light fence plugin so i can atleast light up dark places in my city

[unique pivot]

ah ok

[uneven plover]

#builder-content message

[unique pivot]

I am making illumination plugin btw

you may use it too

when it's released

[sharp kettle]

Goodluck with it

[uneven plover]

you can see the codes of animation dev tool

[unique pivot]

ah

I guess It's made entirely on lua

[uneven plover]

opening a program might be a short part of it, I might try to find it

[unique pivot]

well I guess I can put my scripts on forum or discord to contribute

I also thought of making heightmap painter app

[uneven plover]

nope

it is just opening the browser not the internet

[unique pivot]

wait is it running in browser or what?

[uneven plover]

altho I dont think devs ading a exe run in TT, people might use it for bad things? not sure

[unique pivot]

yeah

I mean

[uneven plover]

it is just opening the link

[unique pivot]

is his code itself on forum?

or what

[uneven plover]

no it is on github

[unique pivot]

Nah I mean

it doesn't launch the program itself in theotown?

[uneven plover]

oh yeah

[unique pivot]

it just launches the link or?...

[uneven plover]

it opens the forum page

link

[unique pivot]

I can do the same

[uneven plover]

yep

[unique pivot]

or can I

[uneven plover]

you can make a forum page about your height map and put a button there

[unique pivot]

thats ian animation tool, right?

or wait

nvm

or another thing

sorry I am dumb

ah, here we go...

[uneven plover]

it is night animation mod

[unique pivot]

my lovely spaghetti

okay

[uneven plover]

oh thats pyhton

[unique pivot]

yes, sadly

[uneven plover]

why

[unique pivot]

I am learning it as my first lang

maybe not the best choice but I can't undo what I already did

it's my first major project

[uneven plover]

do you think if you n learn lua easily after learning something different code lanuage

[unique pivot]

idk

maybe

I should try coding something on it

what can I use to code on lua (not for theotown but standalone programs)

[uneven plover]

probably a calculator lol

[unique pivot]

[uneven plover]

I dont know if lua is good for standalone, is it?

lua seems like made for game modding

[unique pivot]

well I can make some basic stuff to understand it better

[uneven plover]

minecraft, roblox and theotown

is minecraft modding lua?

[unique pivot]

I have some experience in lua

(added grey ball in gmod)

(by pasting one line and changing numbers)

😎

[uneven plover]

lol

[unique pivot]

If I make something in lua

like, name generator

will it be easy to put in Theotown?

[uneven plover]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I made like 9 codes in lua for TT and 8 of them didnt work soo I am the wrong guy :c

[unique pivot]

like add some theotown output to existing code

a lol

well TT coding is epic

[uneven plover]

I cant even say "I made" tho, erksmit and kulche were helping me a lot but still they didnt work. I am probably too bad to make them fail too

[unique pivot]

kinda offtopic

but maybe I'll start learning lua

[livid agate]

Lua is usually used in embedded systems such as scripting in games.

Payday uses it for heist and game logic, same for roblox.

TheoTown also provides an API to interact with the game using Lua.

[unique pivot]

I am only starting but for now lua it's not that different from python, I guess

[livid agate]

It's faster than Python, however due to underlying overhead implementations, it can also be rather slow (roblox's cpu limiting)

[unique pivot]

reminds me of how I got into coding

what stuff should I learn to use with theotown?

[livid agate]

io.read()

[grand crater]

hey guys

i am back

rn making a new theovision building

just for fun

this is the last one i built

around 3 years ago

@livid agate lol

[livid agate]

nice

[grand crater]

yess

[uneven plover]

it looks like the image from 480p drone

it feels better like that tho

[grand crater]

lol yeah

[grand crater]

wdym

?

[uneven plover]

like it is from google earth

[grand crater]

oh

yeah

the picture?

[uneven plover]

yep

[grand crater]

I can do that again with the newer building too

[unique pivot]

is api outdated or my brain is

why doesn't work

[uneven plover]

you might have to place it on screen? I dont know, I am not a coder

[unique pivot]

it's directly paster from api

pasted*

maybe I forgot something

[uneven plover]

it shows the coordinates

[unique pivot]

started working when pasted code without changing something

[uneven plover]

you dont have the location of the text in your code

o

[grand crater]

oh no what coding is that

[unique pivot]

ohhh these were cords

[uneven plover]

they removed json now aeveryone using lua for TT coding

[unique pivot]

lmaooo

[grand crater]

what

[uneven plover]

dont you know?

[grand crater]

no i was inactive in theotown for +1 year

[uneven plover]

you have to learn lua now

oh right

[grand crater]

H

[uneven plover]

https://tenor.com/view/troll-you-just-got-trolled-trolled-gif-3549471

[unique pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/troll-stick-figure-dancing-gif-5259835

[grand crater]

no

i can probably let someone else cold it and credit them

[uneven plover]

no wait

[unique pivot]

now how do I make da letters huge

[uneven plover]

you have been trolled, there is still json

[grand crater]

oh

well

ofc for plugin sture you need a lua file

to make it work in the store

[unique pivot]

no

[uneven plover]

no you dont have to

you dont need lua

[grand crater]

what

[unique pivot]

lua is not necessary at all

[grand crater]

oh

[unique pivot]

it's just to make some cool coding stuff

[grand crater]

idk

[uneven plover]

just use your older theovision codes as template change the ids, text and title (and other things) then it is done

[grand crater]

i am just making a building and idk 😩

well

this time it will have some animation*

[unique pivot]

butter

im pro hacker

lua learning speedrun%

[grand crater]

dream speedrun music

[uneven plover]

I thought you deleted the right part with black using lua

[unique pivot]

trongl

is there a way to get user screen resolution?

fat trongl

what's the size of in game canvas or something?

what are max cords?

w...where did my trongle go(((

how do I draw circl

can someone give me an example of "drawimage"?

doesn't work for me

how do I specify frame

[orchid sorrel]

you use variables for that

[unique pivot]

what should I put in that variable?

[orchid sorrel]

your frame draft

you have to assign your frame draft to a variable and then use it in Drawing.drawImage

[unique pivot]

wtf is frame draft

okay not the best thing to do for now

[orchid sorrel]

Drawing.drawImage(its_wednesday, x, y)```

[uneven plover]

veriables is kinda easy

[orchid sorrel]

you also obviously have to specify x,y

[unique pivot]

and what's obama id

[uneven plover]

your image?

idk

[orchid sorrel]

the animation id of your image

[unique pivot]

ah

animation?

[livid agate]

pretty sure it needs frame object, not draft

though I could be wrong

[livid agate]

ah

either one

[chilly mango]

it is Wednesday my dudes

[orchid sorrel]

it is

[unique pivot]

WOah what's tha.... nevermind

[uneven plover]

lol

you cant cheat diamonds

[chilly mango]

uh

sure

[uneven plover]

without privelege?

[chilly mango]

lets go with that

ofc notr without privilege

[uneven plover]

this is scary now

[unique pivot]

is there a tool which marks area as historical?

[orchid sorrel]

setBuildingUntouchable

[unique pivot]

nah I mean

a plugin

[orchid sorrel]

perhaps

[unique pivot]

so you select area with zonetool and it becomes historical

[sage sentinel]

Is there any plugins for (cool police station with helicopter?

[grand crater]

update 3

@kulhc

@orchid sorrel thoughts?

[zealous aurora]

One thing, the lighting is in the wrong place

The sunlight always comes from the left

[grand crater]

wait what

let me check

[uneven plover]

Yep

[zealous aurora]

Besides that, looks good

[grand crater]

oh

H

thanks for doing yes

i mean

corecting

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/441312304131211265/849715215230566440/1_Hall.png

okay last update for today

@zealous aurora better?

big screen area for animation

[unique pivot]

Nice idea

What are you going to make, again?

[zealous aurora]

Better, the roof can have a lighter tone, since is also affected by light (something between the center wall and the left wall colors. Also, looking for that LED screens

[grand crater]

B

[grand crater]

that theovision building, but more modern

[unique pivot]

I don't know about that building :(

[grand crater]

let me find some pics

2018 one

[unique pivot]

Ah

[grand crater]

yeah

looked cringe

[unique pivot]

Looks modern enough already but it'll be cool if you improve the quality 👍

Also a bit empty

[grand crater]

and i lost the theovision 2019 building because it got cancelled

[grand crater]

i am excited how this will turn out

here is 2019

i found it lol

[unique pivot]

(satellite dishes are kinda pretty though)

This is better

[grand crater]

ye

this looks like an optical illusion tbh

[orchid sorrel]

make it less bright

details

more colors

shading

smooth shadows

noise

and all that similar stuff

[grand crater]

i mean

yeah

but i can't finish it all in 1 day

[midnight obsidian]

are we doing theovision again lo

l

[grand crater]

lol, no

just a hall

[grand crater]

doing small details now

[unique pivot]

Man I only did some basic stuff at lua

But starting learning it turned out easier than I thought

I can only imagine how much cool stuff I can do with it

[short gyro]

ooo

[sage sentinel]

Any epic plugin

[uneven plover]

looking nice paul

I like the design

[uneven plover]

oh nevermind, I am sorry for the ping

I have to make like 7 textures for fabricator plugin

oh wait actually 8 or 9

this is going to take quite some time for me to draw 'em

[rich birch]

Wait whut ??

what is the difference between #plugin-discussion , #plugin-support and #plugin-lua-and-fun ??

[stoic palm]

Read the descriptions

[uneven plover]

I was gonna ask for it but then I wanted to keep this plugin's legacy with me

sorry bro

[zealous aurora]

Doing the lights

[zealous aurora]

Outdoor screen

[lilac shuttle]

How does windows look

[sly ocean]

too bright

[lilac shuttle]

Really

Left side to bright

???

[zealous aurora]

A question: Can I post my plugin in the store? I saw plugins with copyrighted brands (airline packs, car dealerships) and I think there is no problem

[lilac shuttle]

Is this better

@zealous aurora what plugin

[zealous aurora]

This one

American Airlines Center

[rich birch]

is this plugin project discontinued?

[lilac shuttle]

Ok

[lilac shuttle]

Or how this windows look

[jaunty quarry]

Are those separate buildings that would go in a pack, or are they all just one giant creation?

[urban grove]

I'm pretty sure is a pack

[jaunty quarry]

I would think so too

who would make that one giant plugin anyway?

[urban grove]

Penang i think quit theotown

[jaunty quarry]

he WHAT?

[urban grove]

Uh go to the Forum and i guess see why he quit

I think he quit theotown?

[jaunty quarry]

I'll go check

could you link it for me?

[urban grove]

Uh i guess this one?
https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=10671&p=154400&hilit=Penang#p154400

[jaunty quarry]

oh wow...

[urban grove]

Ye i guess that project is discontinued

[jaunty quarry]

Yeah..

Due to IRL issues

I honestly feel bad for him

[zealous aurora]

Done

[jaunty quarry]

oh nice

[fast cave]

Emmmm... Maybe a bit of little details or shading in the roof, but still nice 👍

[jaunty quarry]

You know it's a good plugin when elder wheeler reacts to it

[fast cave]

Ah, lol

[grand crater]

me

[sharp kettle]

Seems like a good plugin to make GTA city

[unique pivot]

Or for wateronly cities

[uneven plover]

"power": 7500 does this generate power or consume

[midnight obsidian]

generate

-7500 consumes

[uneven plover]

thanks

[sweet topaz]

yeh

[rain gate]

God i would love to see this in theotown

[sharp kettle]

You could make your own plugin of that

[uneven plover]

tcps made a plugin for ra2

[rain gate]

I tried...it went horrible tbh

[sharp kettle]

Pratice makes things perfect

Im sure u can do it

[rain gate]

I know, but i think he didn't added the MCV and other buildings

[uneven plover]

they probably only made soviet's some buildings

[rain gate]

I think they added war factory and a service depot next to it

And Tesla generator

And two tanks and an APC for soviets

[unique pivot]

huh

damned blur

wait wrong channel

with hills and biggest size

[lone cedar]

Does anyone know where I could find choggoba at?

His easy parking lot plugin is now not working and I think I may be able to help fix it.

[lilac shuttle]

How this look

[lone cedar]

If not would anyone be able to help make a new version of a similar idea?

[sharp kettle]

Uhh

[sharp kettle]

Theres a part of the roof that is incorrect

[lilac shuttle]

Think I fix it

[unique pivot]

Shading on roof is kinda wrong

Also I'll recommend adding more texture to your thing

I am from mobile so I can't see much

[lilac shuttle]

Me too

[unique pivot]

But I guess there are some lines on roof

Its good but I would add more shading/texture something to it

[sharp kettle]

Can i edit the building?

[lilac shuttle]

Sure

[sharp kettle]

I made the window brighter

[unique pivot]

This looks like some purple warehouse

I thought that was more of a wall than windows

[lilac shuttle]

I like it

It gonna be glass building welcome center

[uneven plover]

it looks more like a warehouse

[lilac shuttle]

Ok

[rich birch]

for the creators of this plugin... please reduce the price, this price is too expensive (even much more expensive than dsa buildings) I hope you will immediately lower the price to be cheaper :)

[stoic palm]

O.o I'm thinking that is the IRL cost

[urban grove]

Jeez that's one expensive building

[zealous aurora]

That's almost the IRL cost tho, it was $420 million

[stoic palm]

Dear lord

[lunar snow]

wow how did u do that?

@unique pivot

[zealous aurora]

@rich birch I updated the plugin, I've lowered the price to $4,200,000

Pending Aproval rn

(still expensive, but is much more acessible)

[lone cedar]

@keen helm have you had any success figuring out a fix for some of the graphics in your train plug-in?

[rich birch]

it's okay, this is better

[uneven plover]

Actually ingame currency and real life currency doesnt match

[unique pivot]

Thing on left is my own program

[uneven plover]

Guys, I cant really decide what should I name the factory tycoon I am trying to make...
Should it be [ 🇨omplex Industri ] (like how it used to be) or [ 🇮mmersive Fabrication ]

[midnight obsidian]

i n d u s t r i

[unique pivot]

🇨omplex industri

Some real funi energy ^

[uneven plover]

not gonna lie, I actually thought that was a real word

[keen helm]

Industrial Expansion @uneven plover

Or

Age of Machinery

[uneven plover]

I dont want to make it expansion tho, it is not somethings expansion age of machinery sounds really good but guess ı will stick with complex industri and change the industrial building pack's name I made before

[keen helm]

Btw

Should be Complex Industry

It’s an Y, not an I.

[uneven plover]

yea lol

hmm should I let it be i for the memes tho

[keen helm]

Nah

Doesn’t fit for a plugin that is supposedly serious and with a goal to improve the game

By the way, i am starting to get a few ideas on how a ski resort pack should be

And how it would work

[uneven plover]

I have some plans for april fools tho 😏

[keen helm]

I don’t know if i will make income based on ski lift, hotels, restaurants or all of those.

[uneven plover]

I will remove the red silo from industrial pack, I hope it wont be problem because I need it for the tycoon

[keen helm]

As you want

As for my ski resort plugin, i have a shitload of ideas

[uneven plover]

I might exchange it with another 3x3 but I dont really want to work on that plugin anymore. I actually want to delete it

[keen helm]

Well it seems to be a wise choice if it’s discontinued

[unique pivot]

why remove :(

[keen helm]

Income :

• Income is provided by hotels, restaurants and ski lift based on population plus the amount of hotel residents (hotels provide more income)

That’s my current idea

[unique pivot]

imma make another disaster siren btw

not the most original idea

but good as one of first projects

[uneven plover]

I will use BFG silo for blast furnace and panel factories for steel workshop in future

[unique pivot]

a

[uneven plover]

I guess it stays at people's plugin folder who ever bought it

[midnight obsidian]

@uneven plover i'm really excited for complex industri

[uneven plover]

thanks me too, actually had a different and more immersive gameplay mechanic but it will stay like that until I learn more lua

[midnight obsidian]

he wanted to write "complex industries", but the es didn't fit

[uneven plover]

yeah, there will be more types of industries

like cement

[midnight obsidian]

can i be a playtester lol

[uneven plover]

yeah sure

[midnight obsidian]

ok

[uneven plover]

this will take soo much time because I have to make 4x4 two complex and strange looking factories

will use animations for variations in future

[midnight obsidian]

i could also help with the pixel art i guess, i'd really like to try out making industrial buildings

[uneven plover]

I actually want to make this plugin's legacy stay with me but why not I guess

[keen helm]

Can I also be a playtester ?

[uneven plover]

yeah sure

I will actually put alpha version on forum and write the combinations there

if you guys want it without the texture I can give its .plugin

[midnight obsidian]

i need texture

[uneven plover]

I might put some mockups

white things

[uneven plover]

I am soo lazy, today I thought I could finish the office building atleast but now it is almost the time when I have to water 2 gardens

[uneven plover]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/739734445359104042/850343737200607252/icon.PNG this or

[unique pivot]

letters do be kinda fat ngl

[uneven plover]

lol

[unique pivot]

this is probably unfinished but I recommend you shading them a bit

or to add noise

[uneven plover]

maybe I should bring back letter shadows

maybe I should bring back letter shadows

test

oh

discord gone a bit

[uneven plover]

this is icon soo I dont want to add noise to it to make it more confusing

[unique pivot]

it looks kinda weird and empty without them soo

ah ok

[uneven plover]

there

you are right, this is better

[unique pivot]

better

I forgot how do sirens look

when i google it

it shows some weird movie and siren head arts

[slender briar]

i found the first pixel art i ever made , i think i started doing theotown a few months after this

2016! what the hel

nvm i started theotown 2 years later

[unique pivot]

bruh

o nice

I think the plugin will be names "Civilian Alerting System"

idk if it actually makes sense, not a native speaker

[lone cedar]

Will we be able to make it turn on and make a siren sound?

[uneven plover]

yes

[unique pivot]

yes

I mean no manual toggling

[uneven plover]

soo it is CAS

[unique pivot]

but it works when disaster starts

yes... idk if is that wrong?

[uneven plover]

no it sounds cool

[midnight obsidian]

complex industri

very excited for it

[unique pivot]

yeah this name sounds serious enough, may leave it

[midnight obsidian]

icksited

icksaited

[unique pivot]

But I am afraid it may lag on phone, didn't check for now

[uneven plover]

I am getting bullied

[uneven plover]

you should think some april fools stuff too

[unique pivot]

I may make another alerting system in same plugin

In which TTS voice tells people not to panic and evacuate

but idk

[midnight obsidian]

@uneven plover are you planning to add some forest industri?

[unique pivot]

and you can combine them

o no

[midnight obsidian]

forestri

[unique pivot]

I wanted to make that

[uneven plover]

nope, I actually want more heavy factories but sounds cool

[midnight obsidian]

maybe i could work on a forestri branch

[uneven plover]

there is a sooo long way to cement tech trees

[unique pivot]

noooooooooooooooooiwantedtodothis

[uneven plover]

.O.

[unique pivot]

dafuq

how is this possible????

[jaunty quarry]

what-

[unique pivot]

(I forgot to change export settings)

(but damn I thought buildings would get cropped if their size is larger than their tile)

[midnight obsidian]

T O R N A D O W A R N I N G

[jaunty quarry]

you should make that into siren head

[midnight obsidian]

T H I S I S N O T A D R I L L

[unique pivot]

me when the tornado siren starts an earthquake

[uneven plover]

lol

[unique pivot]

now imma do an epic trick

[jaunty quarry]

You now have the vision to find my house!

What do you mean, find his house? It's right there, anybody could!

[uneven plover]

nice

[lone cedar]

Also @keen helm I was thinking about trying to make a few textures for a flat platform that could be used with the old country station. Would you be interested in them at all?

[unique pivot]

O i may make it into an actual easter egg

[uneven plover]

imagine making this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/776489482807148564/848557688849694762/images_3.jpeg

going to be painful

[unique pivot]

bruh

[unique pivot]

imagine just chilling but then disaster happens and a freaking metal cover of metal soundtrack starts playing

[uneven plover]

I dont know if there is ingame building with that much complexity. I will probably spam click at some places jk

if there is I need to inspire

[unique pivot]

I got an epic idea

I am a freaking genius

instead of checking if are there buildings in town each time

I can j... wait this won't work

nvm

[uneven plover]

Im so lazy to finnish big building..

[lone cedar]

If you haven’t already found a good inspiration for the steel industry there are a bunch of older plants in the Pittsburgh, USA area

[storm raft]

@unique pivot can yah give meh the song?

[unique pivot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm4AHv4xhuw

[storm raft]

Oooooo thanksss mateee

[unique pivot]

you're welcome

[lone cedar]

I personally think it should blare the Soviet anthem

[unique pivot]

soviet anthem is a beautiful piece of music but it's kinda overused by 12yo edgy boys

So adding it there is not funny now

[fickle frigate]

i try to add night animation to my corridor, but ....

[unique pivot]

happens to the best of us

maybe you forgot count, width stuff

btw... that feeling when your thing works when you put debug toast in it, but stops working when you remove it :\

[fickle frigate]

"id":"$HLNight",
"type":"animation",
"frames":[
{
"bmp":"hanhlangzonnight.png",
"target w":32,
"count": 16
}

this is my json code

[unique pivot]

try just w

[chilly mango]

you made the game rescale your entire image to 16

[fickle frigate]

it works, but... fail 😆

[unique pivot]

it SERIOUSLY does that wtf

[chilly mango]

should be fixable with handles

[unique pivot]

of course

you need to make them rotation aware

[chilly mango]

send code then

[unique pivot]

k

1 second

[midnight obsidian]

going well!

[lone cedar]

Looks great!

[uneven plover]

Thanks but I live 6 kilometers close to Turkey's biggest steel factory, I am taking inspirations from their website

[lone cedar]

Hey that’s super cool! I always take inspiration from my area as well

[uneven plover]

The thing is I am not going to biased about plugin and name it "Turkish steel factory" like some road plugins

[lone cedar]

Yeah it’s a little annoying when people do that. I’ve reserved a large plot for the factory and cannot wait! I may even have to make textures for a torpedo car train!

[uneven plover]

Oh torpedo wagons, there is a fact that I tried to make those actually but couldnt really use the codes right soo I swtiched to count and income with some combinations. Learning to doing that will be the second or third thing once I release this alpha version on forum

Using city.spawncar and CAR_REACHED they are confusing to me

[lone cedar]

I think that a moving train could be made that just lights up and doesn’t pour at all and a stationary deco car that is animated and pours out would be possible but a lot of coding

[midnight obsidian]

trying to make some raised conveyor belt here, but i ain't sure it's looking good

[lone cedar]

Maybe a collab with the train pack for the torpedo train would be an interesting idea

[lone cedar]

I think if it was a little wider it might look more defined

[midnight obsidian]

noneless is typing...

[uneven plover]

Lol the thing in my mind was just adding train spawning to blast furnace and sending it to any metal warehouse then that warehouse will spawn molds as trucks and send those to export for income or steel workshops to spawn more steel product parts to export for more income

[uneven plover]

Bully, my english sucks lol

[midnight obsidian]

i was just wondering what were you typing for so long lol

[lone cedar]

Hey that works great as well

[chilly jungle]

HELLO

Advice

[sharp kettle]

Hi there

[midnight obsidian]

l o g

[chilly jungle]

Sorry I mean
Building more plug-in like particular buildings for governor, president, parliament & their vehicles

What do you see about this?

[unique pivot]

I live in some sort of industrial area

and I have port near me

and cranes

well not really industrial area

[lone cedar]

I think that a 2nd landmark pack with world government buildings is an interesting idea

[unique pivot]

this is very close to me

[midnight obsidian]

l o g s

[unique pivot]

There are literally houses not so far from me which I can see right now

and this is that one port not so far too

(I guess)

[midnight obsidian]

l o g s w i t h n o i s e

[uneven plover]

nice

I like the color of it

[uneven plover]

those ports are pretty clean

[midnight obsidian]

wood inc.

[uneven plover]

I want something like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/644911361809186847/847453432766922772/images_1.jpeg

[uneven plover]

how is your plugin gonna work

[unique pivot]

I didn't see it up close though

Just some cranes overlooking the buildings

[midnight obsidian]

i could just give it to you for some extra industri, or i might just release it as my own plugin

[unique pivot]

down the len#ngrad highway

lmao

[midnight obsidian]

discord doesn't like communism 😳

[unique pivot]

I have to censor local highway name because a soviet city was once named like our ruler in past

[midnight obsidian]

it's probably just dyno being

bad

[unique pivot]

wassup with l#nin though

[midnight obsidian]

l*nin

[unique pivot]

I can understand censoring that german dictator

[midnight obsidian]

you see, we do not like dictatorships

[unique pivot]

but it's a part of history anyway

and l#nin wasn't that bad guy

..probably

ленин

ha

take that

[midnight obsidian]

ok we're getting off-topic here

[unique pivot]

yeah

btw Erksmit helped me

[midnight obsidian]

let's continue talking about the wood in this building

[unique pivot]

l o g

wait what's that building about

sus

do you want to make forest industry?

[uneven plover]

it is probaby for wood cutting if it has a conveyor

[midnight obsidian]

kind of

[unique pivot]

not cool dude

I wanted to make it

[midnight obsidian]

i'm trying to rip off openttd

[unique pivot]

😢

[uneven plover]

it needs a hole tho

[midnight obsidian]

yeah

[uneven plover]

simon

[unique pivot]

time to take it out of context

[uneven plover]

what tha

[midnight obsidian]

oh no

h

[uneven plover]

look at conveyor

rtobby you should make a tree cutter

and replica dsa tree cutter

tree cutter thats not square

[midnight obsidian]

i think i might just release it separately with no functionality except just to fulfill the need for industrial plugins in theotown

[uneven plover]

look at my beatiful art works

and ability to steal ingame textures at port

I feel like I also should add the factory about limestone and work spaces to make it more area consuming

[midnight obsidian]

it's starting to look more finished

[uneven plover]

yes maybe some chopped tree trunks at ground and a custom ground would look nice

[unique pivot]

that feeling when you want some shadow

but piskel doesn't support half transparent colors

but it's also the most comfort program for you

so you had to improvise

[unique pivot]

nice

btw here is my main siren as I already said

these stuff at top that do wee woo came out kinda weird

maybe I'll add several frames

[uneven plover]

bruh

I cant even make a factory, it is too complicated

[unique pivot]

which factory

u mean

draw it

or build it?

[midnight obsidian]

i added in a very subtle noise on the building

[jaunty quarry]

tell me more

[uneven plover]

I made the coding but I forgot how was the right combinations

[unique pivot]

lol

maybe keep some papers to write them up

[midnight obsidian]

chimney

[unique pivot]

I live this

also, actually no stuttering now

[midnight obsidian]

i think this is alright

[midnight obsidian]

fard was better

[unique pivot]

i can make it as easter egg lol

also red alert thing and siren head sound

[lone cedar]

Siren head sound is just the chicago tornado sirens

[unique pivot]

yes

But most of people know it as siren head

(trust me, i knew it was chicago even before siren head became popular)

[midnight obsidian]

people

😳

[unique pivot]

when I make a lot of people

I usually add some black people in dark costumes

doofensmirtz

minecraft steve

and asians in office suits

[midnight obsidian]

the ultimate json

[chilly mango]

doesnt error

[uneven plover]

fun fact: amogus people are two pixel tall

^^ pin this pls

[chilly mango]

[midnight obsidian]

almost

-29 24

probably

[unique pivot]

I FOUND AMOGUS

[midnight obsidian]

ooo

[unique pivot]

in golden pickle plugin

sus

[midnight obsidian]

not approving a golden pickle. sorry.

[unique pivot]

:(

that's what I heard before my heart was broken

[midnight obsidian]

it perfect

[gusty harness]

hi everyone

[unique pivot]

hey

[gusty harness]

i got a question

[unique pivot]

so...

[jaunty quarry]

yes?

[unique pivot]

my siren plugin is almost finished and it works

[jaunty quarry]

cool

[unique pivot]

Now I may add easter eggs and polish it

probably

[jaunty quarry]

ok

Then release it on the plugin store?

[gusty harness]

why my plugin panel doesnt work? ( i play on pc)

[unique pivot]

send the code

[unique pivot]

yeah

[jaunty quarry]

what about the forums?

[midnight obsidian]

even with the smoke though, it doesn't feel very alive

[unique pivot]

@gusty harnesssend the code and the error it shows

[unique pivot]

wait buildings need to look alive?

[gusty harness]

how can i do it?

[jaunty quarry]

does the smoke animate?

[gusty harness]

sorry for my bad eng, i am russian

[unique pivot]

wait

plugin panel

my bad

I thought just a plugin

what do you mean by plugin panel?

[gusty harness]

where we can download plugins

[chilly mango]

look in the settings menu

[unique pivot]

plugin store?

[chilly mango]

there is a plugins button

[gusty harness]

yeah

[jaunty quarry]

The forums or in-game plugin store?

[gusty harness]

in game store

[unique pivot]

try finding it in menu

or it doesn't load?

[gusty harness]

i touch the button and it goes to infinity load

[unique pivot]

Idk what may be the cause

did you pirate the game?

[gusty harness]

no

[unique pivot]

are you writing from pc?

if not, does it have good wifi?

[gusty harness]

i bought it on steam

[gusty harness]

i can try to do it with mobile internet

[unique pivot]

I mean, does it have wifi now?

[gusty harness]

yes

[unique pivot]

try waiting a few hours

or ask someone else in #old-support

[gusty harness]

Are the game developers sitting here?

[unique pivot]

some of them may be, if i remember correctly

but you don't need necessarily devs

there are just some experienced people

[livid agate]

Install 64 bit java

[gusty harness]

okay

[gusty harness]

got it

waiting for something

no, it doesnt work

[livid agate]

Did you restart your PC after installing Java?

[gusty harness]

yes

[livid agate]

no idea, works for me

[gusty harness]

maybe it regional troubles, cause i live in russia

[unique pivot]

I live in russia too

It's not some African country or a nuclear wasteland

hm

where do you live?

I mean

city or what part of the country

[gusty harness]

kazan

[unique pivot]

weird

[midnight obsidian]

honestly, i'd really love to learn lua because i want to make something very similar to what @uneven plover is making right now

oops

here's the correct image

[uneven plover]

woa nice but why does a lumber mill have smoke coming out

[midnight obsidian]

machinery and stuff

i guess

[uneven plover]

this is soo complicated wow

[lone cedar]

What about a water wheel one?

That has to be placed next to water

And has no power requirement?

[gusty harness]

its alive

[uneven plover]

?

[unique pivot]

how precise is the time .getTime() returns?

[midnight obsidian]

i mean, i really boiled it down to something quite simple, that "other" could refer to tons of other industries and such

[uneven plover]

but how are you going to implent it? This is beyond my codes lol

[unique pivot]

I made random siren sound script

for easter eggs

@uneven ploverare you satisfied?

[midnight obsidian]

honestly, i have no idea. i might consider learning lua and just messing around, seeing what works and what doesn't.

[unique pivot]

Do you have experience with lua?

[midnight obsidian]

no

[unique pivot]

k

Btw

It's kinda funny, how I thought that lua in TheoTown is some black magic and is very hard

But now my first store plugin is going to be a lua thing

I should make a siren like this

[uneven plover]

I am going to the roof it is almost midnight

[sudden minnow]

need that fam

[uneven plover]

this is the factory sound from the roof

kinda loud

you can hear metals dropping to floor and some beep beeps of big vehicles going reverse

[frozen aurora]

That's not a siren. It's a telecommunications tower. There's a lot of those where I live.

[uneven plover]

I have edited the audio soo it kinda sounds like from far away and n be loop

[lone cedar]

Nah cell tower

[rain gate]

Update from an unreleased pack. It's the American version of old stores. I was inspired by random stores in Midwestern US cities.

With this effect it gets better.

[dusty ocean]

Somebody here knows a plugin to do bridges with style?

[glass harbor]

Hot

[fickle frigate]

how can i add a 16-frames animation to a 16-frames road ?

[rain gate]

Thank you. 🙂

[rain gate]

Talking about that plugin, I'm still updating the Brazilian Residential Pack. There is no definite date for when I will finish, since it contains too many details.

The new thing will be on rooves.

Some people have asked me why some of houses rooves are brown/dark. It's because is a dirty and old roof. And because they match the color of the house.

[unique pivot]

Yes Ik, I meant I can do a siren version

[rich birch]

do you guys have this plugin??

The castle looks so charming... I want to have it >_<

[storm raft]

@rich birch i think its private

[uneven plover]

Red shingle roofs looking soo good

[rain gate]

Thanks. 🙂

[unique pivot]

lol it destroys sirens

idk

why is there sworldgen screenshots folder in my plugin :/

testing an easter egg

[hybrid sedge]

that's just a telecom tower not a siren

[unique pivot]

it's supposed to be a siren

I am just not good at drawing these stuff

especially at small scales

sometimes siren breaks when tornado appears on land

huh

when it breaks something on land after being spawned on it*

[unique pivot]

works now, as I can see

idk where do I put the building

maybe fire dept. will be the the best

now it's in management because the type is "public"

well I think the plugin is finished

time to test on phone

[unique pivot]

now I will test my plugin on phone

[lilac shuttle]

Simple warehouse with ppl n truck

[unique pivot]

neat

[lilac shuttle]

I never coded a warehouse before

[sharp kettle]

Indutrial

[lilac shuttle]

How do you code warehouse

Yes

[uneven plover]

is that a reinforced siren that doesnt destroy from disasters?

[sharp kettle]

Sure, ill help

[lilac shuttle]

Ok

[unique pivot]

nah it's just siren but white

lol

[uneven plover]

hmm

[unique pivot]

may look better in some more developed areas

[uneven plover]

soo every siren pole can be destroyed?

[unique pivot]

yes

I mean it's just a stick with wee woo mechanism

why wouldn't it

it needs only electricity tho

for now cost is set to 1k

oh forgot to remove build time

[uneven plover]

how big is your plugin file size?

[unique pivot]

1.7 mb

[uneven plover]

wow

[unique pivot]

oh wait

it's folder

1.6 mb

[uneven plover]

probably because of .mp3

[unique pivot]

yeah

btw it seems to work on phone but I need to make sound louder

[uneven plover]

does the sound volume changes at distances?

[lilac shuttle]

So industrial plugin need frame

[unique pivot]

nah :( it's just theotown playsound

I may make another version

I mean it's my second lua plugin, and adding playsound to each building is pain

[uneven plover]

you can use a repeater

[unique pivot]

but it still needs sirens on map to make sound

hope that's enough

hm

(volume parameter can go higher than 1, right?)

just to be sure

[uneven plover]

you can use this maybe

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/817822164602060820/849310150488621096/unknown.png

it cycles thru all siren poles in a script update probably? I am still not sure how this works but it works

[unique pivot]

daily*

[uneven plover]

I know but putting it in update would work faster

[unique pivot]

idk it's not bad but I don't want to rewrite the code

may do this soon

[uneven plover]

I guess this is for a moving tile soo it moves 1 tile every day

[sharp kettle]

@lilac shuttle ware house size?

[unique pivot]

also it will be a good way to make sirens with different sounds

@uneven ploverhow do you think, should I leave it in management category?

or drop it in fire dept./decorations?

doesn't really fit in any of them

[uneven plover]

putting it in decorations bad idea

[unique pivot]

yes

[uneven plover]

because the things in decorations tab always away from the eyes

[unique pivot]

it's not just a decoration

ah ok

this too

I will leave in public

management*

@uneven ploverwhat do you think?

[lilac shuttle]

It 2x2

[sharp kettle]

This should work

[lilac shuttle]

Umm

[sharp kettle]

(Put them on a .json)

[unique pivot]

pollution influence will be added automatically I think

[lilac shuttle]

I can't copy that to json

[unique pivot]

also needs road

and he has his own ground I think

[sharp kettle]

Yea, but auto pollution is to big lol

[unique pivot]

okay

aaaand category is automatical too bruh

[sharp kettle]

Well, if it works it works

[lilac shuttle]

He right

[unique pivot]

can't argue with that logic

[sharp kettle]

warehouse.json

[lilac shuttle]

I got it lol

Just figure it out too

Tyvm

[sharp kettle]

Yw

[livid agate]

volume is between 0 and 1

[unique pivot]

ah

okay

[lilac shuttle]

Something not right here

[uneven plover]

scaling

[lilac shuttle]

Help it floating lol

[uneven plover]

1 sec

[lilac shuttle]

Only if plugin can fly lol

[uneven plover]

try this

and also

[unique pivot]

you may have empty space under your image

[sharp kettle]

^^^

[uneven plover]

I checked it

looking nice

[unique pivot]

nice

someone check #plugin-support please

[uneven plover]

is that inspired from some building or improvisation

[sharp kettle]

Well, its from a building from google earth i saw but i imporve

[lilac shuttle]

Lol

[sharp kettle]

Remove the -1

[uneven plover]

change your frame bmp

[lilac shuttle]

Ok

[sharp kettle]

(The png)

[uneven plover]

the image I sent here was named as image soo he needs to change frame- bmp to image.png

[sharp kettle]

Maybe ill make a industrial pack after i finnish updating this building im working on

[uneven plover]

industrial revolution in theotown

[unique pivot]

Bruh I'll have to somehow fix siren sound so it'll work on mobile

Because the game cuts off like 90% of it for no reason :/

Maybe reduce the sound quality idk

[uneven plover]

cut it into parts

but then it will be hard to code

[unique pivot]

Yes
