Hard

[uneven plover]

I am tired

see you next month

[unique pivot]

Nooooo

[lilac shuttle]

It working now

[rain gate]

i making oreo factory for fun

[unique pivot]

I know I am already on a break

but I may do a bigger pause from theotown plugins after illumination pack or at least sirens plugin

[lone cedar]

Have a good break if you are going on one! I wish you a good rest!

[unique pivot]

thanks

[uneven plover]

yeah same, even thinking about making textures is making me sick and tired

[rain gate]

Is there anymore futuristic pack. For this TheoCity game

[rain gate]

American sidewalks made some time ago but never published. Maybe until this week I'll update with winter version. These are 2 per 2 bases, but the ground will not be transparent.

[lone cedar]

Are they a fence?

[devout raptor]

Hey guys, I was just looking for the plugin for Marina Bay Sands, but I couldn't find it

You know, that famous hotel in Singapore

Is there not a plugin for that yet or there is but I'm not looking it up correctly?

[rain gate]

No, they are baseplate.

[lone cedar]

So like decals?

[lone cedar]

Try the theotown fourms and you may have some luck

[lone cedar]

Also do you have plans to expand the suburban houses plugin?

[rich birch]

I try to updating medieval ship textures

[devout raptor]

Hmmm, well I thought this is a forum in itself... Well alright then I'll try heading out there

[rich birch]

hi pixelbit... can you fix your spruce plugin? I think you should change your spruce tree type to "type":"tree", not park type so that when building spruce trees We don't have to bother putting those things one by one and we don't have to be given roads, electricity and water either
I hope you take my advice... Thank you

[urban grove]

Sorry but noone haven't made it in to a plugin :(

[devout raptor]

Oh I see. Well if so, I know this may not be the right place for this but can I make a request for someone to make one hehe

But still, just a suggestion from me, I'm no plugin creator myself unfortunately

[rain gate]

Yes, but at the moment I am making the commercial version of it.

[urban grove]

There's a few plugin that is Singapore like uob building, ocb building (sorry if the name is wrong)

[devout raptor]

Mhmm yeah I've downloaded them actually. It's not that I wanna recreate Singapore, but it's just the architecture design overall and ingenuity behind it that really stand out to me

[storm raft]

@devout raptor someone made it but not yet finished

[devout raptor]

Nice, can't wait for it :)

[grand crater]

heyy

[grand crater]

update

idk if this looks good

[grand crater]

h

i think this is it

[sharp kettle]

Looks really nice

[frail monolith]

Looks like a NYC building

[unique pivot]

Nice

[next pendant]

Is this a Hospital Building?

[blazing stone]

it's an Diseaster and Safety Management Headquarters at Sejong, South korea.

But you can use whatever you want when i share it coming soon

[unique pivot]

I recommend you add more noise and texture

and colors cus windows are just rectangles

[modest blaze]

Who approved the plug-in in #plugin-showcase

[next pendant]

Oh ok

[fickle frigate]

is there any issues if i deleted my plugins in the store and then re-upload it ?

[blazing stone]

ok i'll add texture

[unique pivot]

LMAO

my golden pickle landmark didn't get approved because it's a golden pickle, but they still allow stuff like that

[modest blaze]

Why

Why you let things like that pass

[uneven plover]

T-ISC, Theotown Iron Steel Cooperation Building

inspired from US steel cooperation skyscraper and işdemir office building

[lone cedar]

Looks great!

[uneven plover]

thanks

[unique pivot]

yooo that's so nice

[next pendant]

Cool

[lilac shuttle]

Who accepting plugin in store

Bc this is bad

What happens to quality plugin only been accepted in store

[chilly mango]

wasnt me

[lilac shuttle]

Hmm

I'm still waiting for my plugin to be accepted

[chilly mango]

and no i dont do plugin accepting

[lilac shuttle]

Ok

[grand crater]

anyone got ideas?

oops

what i could add

oh

i got an idea already lol

okay looking good so far

okay don't change my mind

but this looks good

[chilly mango]

its getting somewhere

not sure about those roof cables

[grand crater]

i should probably hide them

[chilly mango]

maybe a bit too visible

[grand crater]

yep

maybe this?

[chilly mango]

entirely gray could be a bit too much maybe

[grand crater]

A

yeah i will just leave it grey lol

no idea how i should design the other white board tho

[uneven plover]

nice and more well designed than older ones for sure

[grand crater]

okay this is looking good

[chilly mango]

yes

[uneven plover]

have some urge to make coke batteries

[grand crater]

what coke batteries

[uneven plover]

those

should be easier than blast furnace

[chilly mango]

its where the cola gets produced

for a blast furnace these fancy smokestacks are a requirement

[uneven plover]

yes, hopefully the codes will work soo every blast furnace will need their chimneys

[chilly mango]

ah right you wanted it modular

you gonna make them placable right next to it or not tho

lua allows for custom placement logic

[grand crater]

guys pls rate

fest place

[uneven plover]

my brain is still hot since I am trying to code lua, I am gonna let the code be like that for now

[chilly mango]

you can use script:isBuildable (x, y, level) and return true or false to say if your building can be placed in that tile

but thats more of an afterthought/addon thing

[uneven plover]

I actually want to use car spawnings, trying to use car spawns will the next thing I will do

[chilly mango]

for the chimneys?

why would chimneys need cars between the factory and its chimneys

[uneven plover]

no the factories

[chilly mango]

ah the facories themselves

yeah

[uneven plover]

coal port spawn coal trucks for coke ovens then it makes coke trucks for blast furnace and they send trucks to export

I also want to have more transportation things such as conveyors, pipes and trains. Like minecraft

[chilly mango]

ah yes minecraft

the game with conveyors pipes and trains

[uneven plover]

lol, I mean modded minecraft

[chilly mango]

but yeah i get what you mean

you could use pipes and then check if 2 buildings are connected

but then youd have to check this manually

possibly pathfind

[uneven plover]

thats kinda dumb thinking conveyors and pipes only exist in minecraft

[chilly mango]

its more of a factorio thing

[uneven plover]

more of a real life thing lol

[chilly mango]

as the minecraft mod that added those initially was inspired by factorio

[uneven plover]

yep there is also a mod pack named manufactio

[unique pivot]

noneless

make factorio in theotown

[uneven plover]

no way lol

[chilly mango]

the performance

[uneven plover]

I will let erksmit do it

[chilly mango]

how many rockets per minute tho

[uneven plover]

I mean I never played factorio

[chilly mango]

well

putting it in directly

would never work

you place way too much stuff in factorio

tt would never be able to keep up

[unique pivot]

imagine factorio in TT

with all these stuff

[uneven plover]

I watched its trailer, it looks amazing and soo soo much complex

[unique pivot]

I played factorio

automated like 4-5 first science bottles

then made a break

[chilly mango]

i have like 200 hours in it

did a modded run

gave up after a while

after getting to science 4

[unique pivot]

I have only 45 lol

1 vanilla run

which is not completed

[chilly mango]

with bobs and angels mods you add a ton of extra steps and complexity

which is a pain until you get bots

[grand crater]

lol

should i give it a colour?

the text

[uneven plover]

if thats an animation you can try auto color, never used it but might be cool

[grand crater]

well the animation is on the dark grey screen

left of it

[fickle frigate]

"helicopter spawner":{
"id":"$helicopter",
"helicopter count":9,
"radius":300
}

the code "helicopter count" dont work

[unique pivot]

yes

it doesn't

[fickle frigate]

how can i spawn many helicopter ?

[unique pivot]

many spawner buildings

[fickle frigate]

thank you :((

[uneven plover]

there goes my kirov plugin

[unique pivot]

someone just understood my pain

I had to change flier concept because of that

[uneven plover]

oh that place looking cool, is that a flying car port?

[unique pivot]

yeah

it spawns these bubbles

closed the game, lemme open again

they are like taxis

I also have this wagon

[uneven plover]

what about that square one

yeah that one

[unique pivot]

which will be spawned by big office buildings

I will add some fancy flying cars like this

maybe I'll make them for all rich big buildings

[uneven plover]

oh soo rci also spawns flying cars

[unique pivot]

yes

there are already rci cars to

[uneven plover]

you should also make rusty looking flying cars for poors

[unique pivot]

flying cars

maybe

rusty flying car lol

[uneven plover]

yep

[unique pivot]

I think buildings like this should spawn these

[uneven plover]

maybe like those for

[unique pivot]

is this russia in 2042

I had a pic of flying kamaz but I can't find it

[uneven plover]

also look, suburbs in cyberpunk really fit this image maybe some small houses like those

[livid agate]

I need it

[unique pivot]

it's like a random meme pic about "they rather make trucks fly than repair our roads" from several years ago

[unique pivot]

hm thanks for the idea

these are all my t buildings for now

[uneven plover]

if you are brave enough make those advertisement holograms with animations
and maybe that blimb too

[unique pivot]

oh and this but the perspective is messed up and it's one of the first stuff

yes

I thought about holograms

and flying hologram projectors

and blimp stuff

[uneven plover]

make the holograms huge too

[unique pivot]

I have an old futuristic train from valentine which looks kinda like blimp

these are nice

I thought of adding a whole load of buildings

but then I remembered about plugin space

I think I'll have a few buildings in each category

and some separate packs

[uneven plover]

they look like trains tho

[unique pivot]

yes

[uneven plover]

blimbs should be bigger

[unique pivot]

these are

more of cars

like that flying wagon

Reminder, here are most of buildings and I'll need a lot more

several more buildings for office district, more ad banners, a building for every service, more rci and a huge load of spaceport stuff

also these holograms

and ad building that spawns them

(a huge building covered in neon ad banners)

so I may need to split it

and all this was made before I learned lua

this building is so cool compared to others that it looks like someone's else work

I also need to add other things which I probably forgot

@uneven ploverbtw

I will say something terrifying now

all flying cars have empty space under frame so they will fly

I made it a long time ago

do you know how to replicate that behaviour but without wasting space?

[uneven plover]

you can use handle y and handle x I guess to save some space

[unique pivot]

move y or handle trick?

okay

what should I put in handle y

[uneven plover]

try "handle y": 30 maybe

I still dont know how does image coordinates works

[unique pivot]

okay

this project is too big for me

I hope I'll have time to continue

[grand crater]

adding some little pride colours

[unique pivot]

I wonder what stuff with lua may I add for ffc mod

[uneven plover]

this is hard and that only the chimney

[unique pivot]

it looks nice

[chilly mango]

yeah

lots of detail

[unique pivot]

btw I may abandon siren mod If I don't figure out one thing

but I'll remember erksmit code tips tho

would be very sad to see another nice idea gone

It's almost a life's joke, how I can't reach 1st store plugin

golden pickle disapproved because golden pickle, sirens broken on mobile, tired of other plugins and I am making a project after project

also I took a break to learn c++

which is it's own type of journey I already experienced in 2 days

golden pickle quality was a lot better than that house plugin though :/

[lone cedar]

Ah don’t abandon it yet! Maybe take a day or more and just try and think it through!

[unique pivot]

I will try my best

[uneven plover]

you might try to cut the mp3 into parts and make them play in an order

how long is the mp3?

I actually dont want to talk lua for a time

[uneven plover]

this is soo wrong

[unique pivot]

I don't remember, but somewhere between 50 seconds and 2 minutes

1 minute

Just perfect on pc

But loops the fade in on mobile

And no other stuff

Actually, I have no proof that this is not a code thing yet

But it's very unlikely

So 99% it's sound crop

[uneven plover]

there fixed it

at first got the shape wrong in my memory

[unique pivot]

Nice

[chilly mango]

im guessing youre gonna make the chimney tall later

[uneven plover]

I am going to drown all workers in smoke

[unique pivot]

👍

[uneven plover]

enough for today

I am glad that I didnt start doing coke battery

[chilly mango]

Looks nice

Although the detail with the multiple pipes is lost behind the scaffolding

[uneven plover]

yeah :c

I can add some pipes at open areas

[unique pivot]

https://youtu.be/7mI0el4T0lU

[chilly mango]

The factory must grow

[uneven plover]

finished

even if this is small the skysraper I made was easier

[chilly mango]

Is good

[uneven plover]

btw thanks for showing the image of it erksmit

[chilly mango]

That's a chimney for steel blast furnace btw

[uneven plover]

coke oven chimneys are way bigger, it makse sense since it burns coal

will go with this, it is going to be huge. Might try using animations

[chilly mango]

Dang he big

Although that steel furnace is big too

[uneven plover]

yeah going to be pain

I might take inspiration from an openttd mod

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

or this

oh wait you are right, in the pic you sent the blast furnace is soo much taller than the chimney wow

[chilly mango]

They're huge

They produce a humongous amount of steell

[dusty ocean]

Thats a laaaaaaarge chimney

[uneven plover]

there are still bigger chimneys on vanilla factories but I am not going to race for the biggest

tallest chimney in game is 185-190 pixels, maybe I can make the coke battery chimneys 200 as they are already in the mockup tho

I could have take example from this tho, it has better structural supports

too late :c

nah I am not going to over think

[dusty ocean]

Whats your problem with the chimneys?

[uneven plover]

the texture I made looking soft

might have to fix it

[rain gate]

I will fix in this week.

[lone cedar]

Looking good

[dusty ocean]

I dont want it.... I NEED IT

[urban grove]

100000 quadrillion/10

[fickle frigate]

very nice 😄

[blazing stone]

cool

[grand crater]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/441312304131211265/851323003836825650/1.6_Hall.png

okay so far so good

oops wrong paste

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/441312304131211265/851322945640071188/1.7_Hall.png

[unique pivot]

cute category for my pack

hmmm what should I add

I think I'll make light decoration with arrangement:true

[golden escarp]

Is there a straight light line?

[unique pivot]

wdym straight

there is one like fence

right now I am redrawing cyberpunk road lights for this plugin

something like that

[golden escarp]

So how is their placement made? Would i have to place one by one or would it be like placing a road?

[unique pivot]

this one... I think I'll make linetool

[golden escarp]

Thats helpfull

[unique pivot]

neon lines like in that category are fences

so they have linetool by default

[golden escarp]

Nice. Can you show a demonstration of their use?

[unique pivot]

one second

and lights I am adding will be like this but without the road

and white

I may add color variety though

[golden escarp]

Is there white color for the stripes?

[unique pivot]

For now no but I'll add it

weird

how could I forget

[golden escarp]

Yeah, its a basic color...

[unique pivot]

maybe I overwrote it by accident

[golden escarp]

Im now kinda confused. Is it placed with linetool or like a fence?

[unique pivot]

the one I am adding will be linetool

[golden escarp]

So its both?

[unique pivot]

um

there will be different lines

one is a fence and it's almost done

you can see it

and another one which is a 1x1 tile with arrangement, so like a road

I am making it right now

[golden escarp]

So they're both the same but are placed diferently?

[unique pivot]

almost

but not really

this one glows upwards

[golden escarp]

Ah... i think i get it...

[unique pivot]

and this one is just surface level line with glow outline

[golden escarp]

Hmm, ok... is there going to be a diagonal option?

[unique pivot]

idk, I don't think this is possible if it's not a road

never worked with diagonal stuff

[golden escarp]

Ok. I dont think i have more questions ir sugestions.

[unique pivot]

huh, for some reason the arrangement code doesn't work

maybe I wrote the wrong word for it

there differently was something for it

[golden escarp]

Check it. Its easy to mistake righting codes

[unique pivot]

I wish there was a list of all parameters you can use

[golden escarp]

I never searched for one so idk if it exist or not.

[unique pivot]

may need to ask themax

he did something with it before, he succeed as I remember

[golden escarp]

Huh, me and him are still working on that train stuff pack.

[unique pivot]

maybe it's a hallucination and this parameter doesn't exist

I may make them as roads which don't allow cars then

but arrangement would be a lot better

[golden escarp]

@unique pivot hmm, can you send me THEMAX's username and tag?

I forgot i have a different account from when i worked with him.

[unique pivot]

THEMAX#7011

[golden escarp]

Thanks.

[unique pivot]

now I will try fixing CAS

I wonder if will compressing file help

[golden escarp]

You'll find out

[unique pivot]

it didn't :(

[uneven plover]

fixed it, it style for the structure is kinda like the one in the game now

[unique pivot]

how tf do I put a file from pc into theotown files

file manager doesn't really work from there

nvm

[uneven plover]

something happened to pdn, I cant draw

oh welp my alpha was 0

[unique pivot]

I want to learn lua and make something cool like noneless is make

[uneven plover]

the thing I am making is not very hard to do

[unique pivot]

even better

how much lua things did you do before though?

[uneven plover]

none

oh sorry

8 or 9 failed

I am also not going to stay with this gameplay, I actually wanted something different, this is just to satisfy my wishes

[unique pivot]

wdym

[uneven plover]

I actually didnt want to make it give income like that, I have a different game style but have to learn more

[unique pivot]

for some reason "frame alignment" doesn't work for me

[uneven plover]

1 second I will give you link

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?p=176129#p176129

[unique pivot]

thanks

[uneven plover]

no problem

[unique pivot]

nvm, sorry, still doesn't work

[uneven plover]

can you show the code?

[unique pivot]

not an usual code but should've worked

[uneven plover]

soo it doesnt make lines?

[unique pivot]

no

no linetool or frames connection

[uneven plover]

what is selectable frames?

[unique pivot]

no arrows

[uneven plover]

I dont know whats the problem then sorry

the last chimney for coke battery

[sharp kettle]

I love it

[chilly mango]

probably needs some supporting structures near the base

or buildings

[uneven plover]

right

[unique pivot]

I like this but why is the base so low?

is that intentional?

[uneven plover]

oh hmm, I might add a tunnel shaped industrial building and put it on the building maybe

[unique pivot]

I wonder if is possible to make oil industry, so you can place oil rigs on pre generated oil zone or something

idk

so you can build an oil factory and pollute everything

but make big mone

[uneven plover]

is possible to put random decals on ground in world gen and check if there is a decal then make the building work, I have something similar for this for mining

[unique pivot]

hm

decal?

[uneven plover]

like grass and asphalt in game

[unique pivot]

yeah I know

didn't think about it

If I make oil generated, it would suck for old cities

I may make an alternative way of mining it

[uneven plover]

only 7 buildings left for the alpha version

oh and decorating the coke oven chimney

[unique pivot]

Epic

[unique pivot]

Obamium industry mod in TT when

[storm raft]

@uneven plover yooooo can you also add a conveyor belt deco?

[unique pivot]

I got an awesome idea

Conveyor belt road

It makes no sense

But is fancy and cool

Like in factorio

[orchid sorrel]

[unique pivot]

Yes

[uneven plover]

Thats actually how I wanted my plugin to work. Using cars and spawners with lua.

Too feed coke batteries and stuff

Also pipes and train carts too

[lone cedar]

Can’t wait that alpha is going to be amazing!

[lone cedar]

It would but would also be more realistic for newer cities

[unique pivot]

I may include two options

[uneven plover]

everytime I think about making the blast furnace I went back to try coding even tho my brain is still melt

and everytime I say "I am going to stop working on this" I still continue

[rain gate]

Fixed JSON and thumbail.

@rich birch I updated that trees.

[midnight obsidian]

ah yes, javascript n?????? object notation

[rain gate]

idk

[frozen aurora]

Poll: Would y'all like me to make a river barge plugin like the ones on the Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Missouri, etc. Rivers?

[stoic palm]

yes

yes

yes

[rich birch]

it's still the same as before.... (still using "type":"park") instead of "type":"tree"...

If we use "type":"tree" we can make the trees zoneble instead of one by one... Then can you send me your spruce tree plugin file?
Let me fix it 🙏

[rain gate]

[{"id":"$Spruce00","type":"tree","frames":[{"bmp":"Spruce00.png"},{"bmp":"Spruce01.png"}],"title":"Spruce Trees","text":"Spruce","price":100,"influence pollution":-5,"influence noise":-15,"influence nature":15,"frames per tree":1,"influence radioactive":-15}]

@rich birch see

[rain gate]

I think I sent the old version again.

😑

[rich birch]

so.. it's just a file sending error... ok then... are you going to add more spruce trees later??

[rain gate]

Not for now. I am still updating my largest packs. I am updating Brazilian Residential and Commercial Pack and an American Residential Pack and making an American Commercial Pack.

[rich birch]

wow this will be so much fun

[rain gate]

Yeah. 😃

I am plannig to make a truck house for game, but I don't know how to made. Since last year tbh.

[rich birch]

Is a fit house on the street (in theotown game) ??? Compare that to a truck and a small house... 🤔

[rain gate]

Maybe if it's a small house. But I think it would be hard to do.

[sick rune]

Do a trailer house

[rain gate]

I sent the correct file to spruce again.

[sick rune]

That would be a lot smaller

[rain gate]

Alright.

@sick rune can you please approve that plugin again? i think you're admin on forum

[sick rune]

I've never been an admin actually

I have no power here or there

[rain gate]

oh

ok then

[rich birch]

Ok that means I don't need to fix your file :)

[frozen aurora]

Ok I'll start work on a American River barge.

Plugin

Probably this weekend. It'll be a nice little project for me to try out.

[lone cedar]

That would be amazing!

[rain gate]

New Southern Brazilian House! Work in progress.

[unique pivot]

wait this exists?

[rain gate]

yes

it's called something like structure relocation

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_relocation

[unique pivot]

bruh these americans

lmao

even houses use cars

[unique pivot]

wall for modulable buildings plugin

inspired by this but didn't come out really similar

(because noneless said something about government buildings lol)

bruh

rectongl tho

looks more like soviet brutalism

[unique pivot]

I can add some industrial stuff

like rusty iron walls, dirty bricks

chimneys

weird green roof

need to make it darker

[modest blaze]

I'd say desaturate a little aswell

[unique pivot]

this too

[rain gate]

Hi all

[lilac shuttle]

Who really accepted plugin in the plugin store

There 2 plugin that shouldn't be accepted in plugin showcare

[midnight obsidian]

commander🆎🆎 is one of the plugin store mods if i recall correctly

montemarino is also a plugin store mod

[unique pivot]

insert a message about golden pickle

[midnight obsidian]

not approving a golden pickle. sorry.

[unique pivot]

all walls for now

they are mostly concrete

the one on right was supposed to be something like this

[golden escarp]

THIS IS PERFECT!! Great for what im doing in my city now.

[unique pivot]

this could be so perfect

but I can't build roof on hill

maybe I am missing some code

[chilly mango]

theres a tag for that

[unique pivot]

which one?

[chilly mango]

idk

im not doing the work

but its in https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=1355

[unique pivot]

okay

ok I am saving that page

I may need a version of roof to place on hills

wait I can do this

some tricks

sims in theotown

finished

[uneven plover]

Nice

[random current]

First time attempted to make glass building, it's not complete

[unique pivot]

@uneven plovercheck this

[sick rune]

Some decoration on the roof would be cool

Like satellite dishes and pipes, for example

[unique pivot]

I will add decorations for that

they'll be a little tricky so I will make them 1 tile sized

or some of them will be nice for one type of roof

also doors n stuff

maybe even premade stairways

(making them with hills was a nice idea though)

[storm raft]

@unique pivot yoo mate can i dm you?

[unique pivot]

ok

[unique pivot]

diagonal

but the game eats the corner for no reason

[stoic palm]

That might just be a limitation of the game, but I'll let someone with more plugin experience answer

[unique pivot]

I think yes

because it's not an actual diagonal fence

so technically it's in front of that corner part

I wonder if can I fix it

[stoic palm]

Best of luck!

[keen helm]

Alright i got an offer for all experienced plugins creators

Do you guys want to join the train expansion plugin to help in development ?

[lone cedar]

I am by no means experienced with plugin creation but could help with beta testing if you need that. @keen helm

[unique pivot]

making something more modern than noisy concrete

also this will be usable for skyscrapers

[keen helm]

@lone cedar Well you are welcome

[keen helm]

Right now my objectives are fairly easy

We are going to need graphic designers for rails & train stations

[unique pivot]

I would have helped but I am not that experienced and I am bad in train stuff

and stations

[keen helm]

So was I

And look what I achieved 🙂

[unique pivot]

I can beta test tho... and by this I mean actually crash testing 😎

I want to hug this glass box

[keen helm]

Wait how do you achieve this result ? Do you create fence with different height or is it a single one with anims ?

[unique pivot]

single one

I mean

I can make stuff like this now

[lone cedar]

I may be able to make some platforms and stations/tracks. I don’t know how well they will fit but I have some ideas from some stations nearby.

[unique pivot]

(I have shown this building like 20 times already but I think it's cool)

ah I guess It didn't save a bit of decoration

[unique pivot]

I am not sure but I think my plugin may have potential for train stations or airports too

I need to add more materials and entrances

I will also add actually transparent walls and roofs

And I also need stairways and entrances

I plan to add rooms

but It has one problem

same as with roof deco

You can't clip stuff on each other

so I have to disguise rooms as roof deco

to avoid "holes" in roofs

and with roof deco, I have to either

1. make it 1 tile big, so there is no actual roof seen on that and it can go everywhere, but it will create more blocky looks
2. Make floor deco with certain roof on it, like antenna on grey concrete roof. It will look the best on grey concrete roof only

And I plan to add to add triangular (or whatever they're called) roofs

this will need a lot of work but I think it'll be worth it

I'll need somewhere 16 roofs with 15 height versions

but I already made windows and now nothing will stop me

[unique pivot]

I think I can combine two of these ways

that's too white

holup thats ice

[uneven plover]

nice

[unique pivot]

how tf I don't have roofs higher than 50 floors

I reached the new era

[unique pivot]

era of the modulable skyscrapers

what's that

?

[lone cedar]

It’s supposed to look like a ground-level platform

But It didn’t come out the way I intended

[unique pivot]

it has several problem you can fix

1. literally white noise

instead of using color that bright, you should just brighten the original color a bit

[lone cedar]

Yeah this is the 1st thing I’ve tried to make so Advice is helpful

[unique pivot]

2. you can raise it a few pixels and add a darkened "basement" under it

like this

[lone cedar]

I intent for it to not be raised at all

Because like some stations in my area are just literally like sidewalks

[unique pivot]

okay

you can make it into something like this

also, If you're not going to draw something tall, you need to remove empty space above it

to save texture space

@lone cedarthis is my version with minor changes but I am not a pro in these stuff

[lone cedar]

How did you do that so fast?

It looks great

[uneven plover]

some drawing apps have a noise tool and also it might be cropped from the game

[lone cedar]

Ah what apps would you suggest? I’m currently using pixely

This is my updated veesion

[uneven plover]

I didnt really used pixely but then changed to pdn because it is easier

but rockfort is an example of a nice pixel arter who uses pixely

he probably draws all details by himself

[lone cedar]

What is pdn?

And does it have a noise tool?

[uneven plover]

if you have a pc I would recommend paint dot net. It has some effect tools such as noise tool and noise remover. You can also add more tool with using pdn plugin forum

yeah it has noise tool without plugins. To be honest I only downloaded one plugin that was for making 3d stuff but it wasnt good for isometric art style and couldnt handle it
I mean you can use pdn without anything

[lone cedar]

Ah ok

That does help

Thanks! I should be getting a pic soon so I will keep that app in mind

[unique pivot]

I always do my noise manually 😔

Like by hand

[unique pivot]

This is nice too

[uneven plover]

you can also make noise with transparent colors or changing the color code for variation

also not everything needs noise tho

[lone cedar]

I’ll keep working on my stuff and hopefully I’ll develop some skill/style

[rain gate]

New house.

[lavish linden]

Your profile picture is not worthy these buildings lmao

[midnight obsidian]

lovely

[uneven plover]

good thing about this modulable is it supports rotation aware

[unique pivot]

added a not sunken roof

(most of roofs are 1 pixel lower than walls of their level)

(this looks good with concrete, but doesn't with glass walls)

[uneven plover]

making ground details is kinda boring

[unique pivot]

blue is failure

because my friend told me to use less grey

[urban grove]

Does it support night animation?, Just asking questions @unique pivot

[unique pivot]

these ones don't have night anims for now

but I will add them

[urban grove]

Aight

[unique pivot]

Didn't add 55 level roofs for now

But here is a modular skyscraper

[uneven plover]

willis tower

[uneven plover]

which one should I go with?

or a flat metal panel roof

[unique pivot]

@uneven plover can you show me the whole building pls?

[uneven plover]

I gave up

it just doesnt fits the theme, brick building was a fail

have something different idea now

[urban grove]

The chimney thing is a bit weird for me

[uneven plover]

hmm like it starts to go straight at the top?

[urban grove]

No is kinda look like 2d not 3d

[uneven plover]

ah

[urban grove]

Anyway, i like it 😀

[uneven plover]

maybe I can add more shading to it

[unique pivot]

Chimney is nice but I'd make the shadow bigger

Also I think the current roof is nicer

Btw I remember your chimneys bring more circular at top

But this one is better

And more realistic

[uneven plover]

do you mean blast furnace chimney wasnt really circular at top? I can fix it maybe

and now

is it good?

[urban grove]

Ye

[chilly mango]

it is good

the roof on that building seems a bit off

[uneven plover]

I will probably restart

I guess I will also make a new chimney

similar to one in my city, this is actually a thermoelectric santral's chimney

and also might make a structure like left ones but they are actually PCI buildings

but I can make it look like pipes and preasure stuff for the chimney, I dont even know if chimneys need building

[unique pivot]

Why restart

Idk about building

But that chimney looks ok

[uneven plover]

I dont really like the shape, it is based on a chimney but when I search "coke oven chimney", I see that the one I made is strange

or like this, a lot thinner

[unique pivot]

I mean it doesn't have to be an exact replication

[rich birch]

Ah... finally we can build willis tower at will 😌

Oh yeah, it's been almost two months since I saw this spoiler.. (and it hasn't been released yet) 🌝

[unique pivot]

a

I think I'll make modular houses and several small plugins before this

fixed roofs

with these black walls you can make willis towers now

new roof

evil tower

I think this plugin will look better for train stations and low rise stuff tho

now I'll work on night frames for these glass walls

now I should add night anims to a wall

or maybe I shouldn't ....

[unique pivot]

this needs a lot of code though

and this is not the biggest part

@uneven plover rate my epic sears tower lights

[sharp kettle]

Oo, thats a nice night anim

[unique pivot]

Can someone teach me drawing brick walls?

I'll be very thankful

[dusty ocean]

I need this plugin right ya, it is so cool 😎 👌

[unique pivot]

I'm out of material ideas I can make

I'll need bricks but idk how to draw them in pixels

[dusty ocean]

Hmmm

[unique pivot]

I have different concrete stuff for now

don't mind the names

some concrete/stone ideas which aren't hard to draw would be nice

[dusty ocean]

Its enogh to start

[unique pivot]

I need dark grey concrete btw

[dusty ocean]

I wrote it fine?

[unique pivot]

wdym

it's spelled "enough" but it's understandable

[dusty ocean]

I dont understand that

[unique pivot]

I am not a native speaker too

[dusty ocean]

Oj

Ok

Where are you from?

[unique pivot]

russia

[dusty ocean]

Mexico🇲🇽

[unique pivot]

imma google random buildings looking for inspiration

nice

[dusty ocean]

Good idea

[unique pivot]

I think I'm done with walls now

I think it's time to add more window variations

different styles and sizes

now there is only 3 versions of same texture with different width

[uneven plover]

I might try to make brick texture for you if you want

[unique pivot]

I would like a tip but texture from you would be even better

here is the template if you'll draw

[uneven plover]

Oh it is short

[unique pivot]

yeah the size may be too small but it's too late to change

[midnight obsidian]

@unique pivot my attempt at making a brick texture

[unique pivot]

thanks I'll credit you

[midnight obsidian]

and a recolored version

[unique pivot]

also thanks

[midnight obsidian]

you're welcome

[unique pivot]

time to finally give normal names to walls

[midnight obsidian]

red brick wall

tan brick wall

[uneven plover]

ops I am late

[unique pivot]

no problem

there is never too much brick walls

[uneven plover]

I didnt make new textures but added some variants for rtobby's

[unique pivot]

first one is cool but second one isn't really usable as a wall, but I may use it for entrances in future

or these are windows

can't see on discord preview

[uneven plover]

they meant to be doors but one sec

how do you make windows for the walls?

[unique pivot]

yea I guessed correctly

well

some windows are premade on a wall

some are like this

[uneven plover]

how these are getting connected with walls?

[unique pivot]

all types are appreciated

placed near them

I could've easily make them as fences

but you can't place fences on each other

[uneven plover]

oh soo are they deco tiles?

[unique pivot]

ye

[uneven plover]

aw

[unique pivot]

you can't place stuff in front of them :(

but you can make them premade

it's slightly less customizable

but

I think these will look good on only bricks

[uneven plover]

oh okay then

[unique pivot]

so you can make them embed into walls and it'll be cool tho

[uneven plover]

I can higher the doors and make them look like windows

[unique pivot]

that'll be good

all walls are named after relief wall

but I can't find the relief wall itself

blue glass wallcyanwallwi

all walls have normal names except this one, because I didn't know how to describe this

[unique pivot]

and btw what should I name it?

idk

[uneven plover]

you can name it anything

there

wait

[unique pivot]

idk how to describe it

maybe just "decorated brick wall"

[uneven plover]

this has blue windows

[unique pivot]

I think black windows fit it slightly better

hm

[uneven plover]

you can select any

[unique pivot]

I may add both but I'll probably add the black windows

[uneven plover]

tried to make better doors

[unique pivot]

also what name should I use in credits? sorry I just forgot your theotown account 😅

I can actually combine them

wall with doors on 1st floor and windows

I didn't do this before but should be possible

[uneven plover]

use yusuf8a684 or noneless but you dont really need to credit me

[unique pivot]

k

[uneven plover]

this has small shading on the windows

it is black too

what will you do about triangle roofs?

you probably need frame allignment or zoning tool

[unique pivot]

it worked

need windows

[unique pivot]

They are planned

But it'll be hard

Like look at windows already

16 heights

4 frames per height variation

2 of them are empty because rotation awareness

Roofs will need somewhere 15 variations

And nearly 16 frames

Also rotation aware

One type of roof may be split into several drafts

Like, corners and edges which will work like windows (4 frames per variation)

Flat roof without rotation awareness and with zone tool

[uneven plover]

yep

[unique pivot]

And some more

[midnight obsidian]

cyan wall with black windows

[unique pivot]

Not talking about some other stuff

[unique pivot]

Wait that sounds kinda sus ngl

[uneven plover]

btw the wall texture kinda looks like repeating, I tried to fix it. If you want I can give the left one

[unique pivot]

Yeah I'll need it

[unique pivot]

Not talking about these where they are like T letter

[midnight obsidian]

that's a flaw when it comes to using animations

[unique pivot]

So yeah it'll be pain

But modular triangle roofs will be a great addition to my addon which will make it absolutely epic

Thanks

I will use it

Thanks to you both for contribution, that's a good and important texture, I wouldn't be able to draw it myself

[uneven plover]

no problem sir

[unique pivot]

Can someone send me the road texture, I am on mobile but I need to do analysis

[midnight obsidian]

analysis

[unique pivot]

Idk how to spell it

Scientific research

I think some frames may be unneeded for triangular roofs

[uneven plover]

I am not sure if it happens with the windows but here

[unique pivot]

But probably I'll need all of them talking seriously

I have a lot of work left

Thanks man

I'll test it out tomorrow :)

[uneven plover]

you want it to see the directions?

[unique pivot]

Wdym

You mean anims?

[uneven plover]

nope road texture

[unique pivot]

A

Yes

[unique pivot]

Hm

Yeah all of them will be needed

[midnight obsidian]

simon the raod scientist

riad*

road*

[unique pivot]

Time to analyze the roads 🔬

[uneven plover]

there are 16 directions

[unique pivot]

Yeah ik

So

[uneven plover]

you will need all

lol

[unique pivot]

I'll def have a lot of work with roofs and I'll need to practice

But

I think there won't be such clusterfck of code like with windows

I tried to count

And I guess I have somewhere 200+ strings of animation definitions for windows

[midnight obsidian]

you swearer

[unique pivot]

And I have 3 versions of them

Already 4

However roofs will work differently

so

I think 15 animation strings for one part

[uneven plover]

back then I was trying to make another modulable station for tcdd and this was really really painful

[unique pivot]

1 center park, 4 "dead ends", 4 corners, 2 straight lines, 4 slopes, 1 center part and maybe one I missed

15 variations for them

So um

Straight one will go like /\

From side

And slopes will be / and \ but not that steep

They will have different inclinations tho

I am not good at explaining things but I hope you understand

Straight one is frames 6 and 11

And slopes are 8 and more

Nvm okay

I will draw it and you'll see

I am not even sure how do I want triangle roofs to look

[lone cedar]

Yeah I rember it had some small glitches but the track and deco is something I still use. I even made a livery for the tram and tramway that looked like the ones in my area!

[unique pivot]

nice

[rich birch]

roughly when will you release it?? does it still need a lot of work?

[unique pivot]

idk need some time but less than ffc mod

it's easy to add variations

as I have finished code which is easily to copy and change

I can add new roof/wall in several minutes from scratch

but

I'll need to add some other stuff

[rich birch]

May I see what buildings you have made "like this thing"

[unique pivot]

triangular roofs (the hardest), roof deco (can copy roof code) and rooms (they'll be disguised as roof deco)

some outside decorations

maybe ad banners/logotypes you can hang on a wall

I would do murals but I don't have such skill

[unique pivot]

wdym?

you mean buildings I made with this?

[rich birch]

Wow... You are really great at being able to make big plugin packs like "cyberpunk" and "modulabe buildings"

[unique pivot]

I love big packs

[rich birch]

I mean how many types of buildings like this are in your plugin package??

[unique pivot]

windows but they don't have name and valid preview

[rich birch]

I've also made a package plugin like that, the name of the plugin is "mountain cottages" you can get it in the store

[unique pivot]

and these stuff have heights from 1-15, and 50 - 55

okay nice

[rich birch]

Damn this is so much❤️o❤️

[agile forum]

No plugin could be found by your query.

[unique pivot]

I will add more

most of buildings are test/show off

[rich birch]

Great.... I hope your finger is fine (my finger will hurt a lot when making this package) 😂😅

[unique pivot]

there are different stuff scattered across my entire testing world

[unique pivot]

why would it hurt? I am on pc xD

Here are several ideas for walls I have on my mind right now

(just let me remember)

[rich birch]

While I made it on my cellphone

[unique pivot]

F

[rich birch]

I use pixelart apps like "isopix" ​​and json builder apps like "quick edit

[unique pivot]

blue bricks wall, soviet balcony wall, some industrial constructions, wall with transparent windows, some walls to replicate my panel house, maybe rusty iron walls for industry too

also "hovering" walls

for stuff like this

rgb concrete walls

and maybe several grey/brown color combinations of concrete

[rich birch]

Wow amazing... Ok good luck 👍🏼

[unique pivot]

by soviet balconies I mean something like this

there may be my balcony on this photo

imma add darker concrete roof

and stone bricks

[uneven plover]

oh there is still repeating texture

[unique pivot]

on which one

This is unavoidable

[uneven plover]

in this image, right variation
