@rain gate I have 1995 but it isnt generating easy for me

Not only easy, maybe I need higher version of game

but I am low on mobile data

[old portal]

Representations of adminstrative Buildings Pack
(WIP)
Full works:
-Suriname National Assembly
-Brazilian National Congress

[fickle frigate]

now i have made that to this :v

[uneven plover]

I like it

I always wanted to make a vertical forest

[fickle frigate]

i will try to make more buildings with sky garden

[rain gate]

i could possibly use some 1998 features

lemme check

yeah, i've used some of 1999 things

i'll fix the version after update

[uneven plover]

?

What you gotta fix, dont I just need to update my game

[rain gate]

i mean you won't be able to download it without the needed version

[uneven plover]

Ohhh okay

[versed pike]

Nice work, i love your plugins

[old portal]

Thanks!
;)

[unique pivot]

Holy shot

Minesweeper in TheoTown

I am buying that for sure

I want to make redstone in TheoTown

And run computer on it

And launch TT on it

Btw, I think I'll upload CAS tomorrow

[versed pike]

Finally mi first plugin "Torre Bank Boston" is avaible to download :D

[rain gate]

✅

[rich birch]

Voila now it's done.

[old portal]

Nice beginning!

[versed pike]

Thanks!

[zealous patrol]

Palácio do planalto?

[dapper sun]

Platano palacio

[sour thorn]

@fickle frigate do you have the download link to these plugins

[fickle frigate]

Yes, but i will remake them in the future

[sour thorn]

ok

[urban grove]

Actually i have the file of the building

[unique pivot]

tested CAS on my phone

it's better but the sound is still clipped... a bit

I hope it won't look bad for people

[old portal]

Congressso Nacional

[unique pivot]

found a cool font but it looks like gas

[uneven plover]

I use befunky for thumbnails

Super easy

[versed pike]

I know, very good, i will use it in my latin american city

[uneven plover]

@old portal dude your plugins awesome I reall like that rio pack 2

[old portal]

Thanks!

[stoic palm]

First try at the diagonal runways

[rain gate]

😳

we need it

[stoic palm]

Working on the second edit now

[stoic palm]

Any way to fix the clipping issue?

[orchid sorrel]

I would recommend disabling ground shading

[stoic palm]

That's an option?

Do you think it's better as it is or should it be a road tool?

[orchid sorrel]

I guess that's called just "shading"

[stoic palm]

This is V1 if anyone want's it, I'm still gonna do some updates but I just don't know what to do with it yet

[chilly mango]

Wait haven't I seen that before?

ah that was the runway

[uneven plover]

Wow awesome

[urban grove]

Nice 👍 is a bit weird but still

[versed pike]

im thinking that i had should do the floors of the BankBoston tower taller, they are 5 pixels tall

[lunar snow]

Not coming soon

[sharp kettle]

I wanted to build some buidlings on #plugin-suggestions sadly theyre all big buildings

[versed pike]

@sharp kettle if you want i can suggest any building

[sharp kettle]

Well im pretty sure suggestion directly to a creator isnt really allowed?

[versed pike]

mmm

i dont know

im a creator too

is a rule for that?

[versed pike]

Teaser

[glass harbor]

Hey guys

I want to make a plug-in, Specifically a road plug-in.

I only have a few options

[unique pivot]

#plugin-suggestions message

This reminded me of sierpinski triangle

[rich birch]

how do you prevent the ship from being cut into pieces again even though the height, width and length have been fixed like this cargo ship?

Updating window and ship textures

[orchid sorrel]

is this type ship?

[rich birch]

Yes

[orchid sorrel]

we can't do much without your code

[rich birch]

I'll send my code... HERE

[orchid sorrel]

you use lenght:3 so that's very likely to cause graphic problems as indicated on the tutorial page

try playing around with "handle"s

[rich birch]

How to use "handle" ?

[orchid sorrel]

handle x, y

[rich birch]

How to find out the xy coordinates in the png plugin, how do you do that? 😵

[orchid sorrel]

coordinates for what

[rich birch]

For the x y , how do you calculate the x y handle correctly ? Do I have to calculate it per pixel??

[orchid sorrel]

this does not make it any clearer

it's basic coordinate stuff

y is lower the higher it goes

x increases towards the right

0,0 is leftmost, center pixel of the "template"/tile

[uneven plover]

Ugh why cytopia content in theotown?

@sick rune you gave kiki to post cytopia trees, right?

Oh okay I see but it is still frustrating

[rich birch]

actually i also thought the same thing but kiki said he already got permission...is that true ??

[versed pike]

This is getting a bit difficult

[versed pike]

im thinking if i will include this into a pack or as a individual building

[unique pivot]

Nice

Just don't forget to use anims

[versed pike]

you mean night anims?

[unique pivot]

I mean staxkinf floors

Stacking*

With anims

To save plugin space when you have repeating floors

[versed pike]

mmm that sound a bit hard to implement

[uneven plover]

yeah probably, maybe kingtut wanted to spread the name of cytopia some

[unique pivot]

Not really

And it's a lot better than stacking floors in image

Cus wasting space

[versed pike]

You have a tutorial?

Making roof

i will suffer with the base

i made the inclinated part of the roof acurate?

[lunar snow]

@versed pike wow. U make it exactly like that pic

[versed pike]

Thanks! Is the tallest building of my hometown, will be amazing to see this in your cities

[lunar snow]

Cool. Where are u from? @versed pike

[versed pike]

Im from Argentina

Well, is not exactly my hometown, but my county

The city is Caseros

[lunar snow]

Cool

[unique pivot]

Seeing your plugins in someone's else city should feel very good

[versed pike]

I leave this decision for yours: which building you want to see as a plugin in TheoTown?

[chilly mango]

That's pretty good

Could use a bit of noise on the roof

[versed pike]

Yeah, after finishing drawing it i will add noise in some parts

[versed pike]

wow that lot will be big, 5x5

[frail monolith]

For me looks like a Tall Manila Apartment

But good job

[versed pike]

The building reminder you a specific building or the average apartment tower?

[frail monolith]

Yea. But looks great

A average Apartment tower

[old portal]

Nice! But it needs stronger shadows.

[versed pike]

Thanks!, i will add shadows after finishing the drawing

[versed pike]

Thanks!

is a type of design that you can find anywhere

[cloud cedar]

Uh, why does my game say this when I try to run it?

And I already installed the S-bahn plugin

someone please help

[versed pike]

i unistalled that plugin too, because i had the same error

i dont know if it possible to fix it, i dont tried

[cloud cedar]

damn

does anyone know anything else to fix this problem?

[rich birch]

please use this one ... I have fixed the plugin file (including the category)

You just need to paste this file into the plugin folder (Remember to delete the old files

[cloud cedar]

Nope

Still can;t

Oh wait I forgot to restart the app

[rich birch]

FIRST DELETE THE BOTH OLD FILES (S-bahn and central station) THEN YOU PASS THE PLUGIN FILE THAT I GIVE YOU THIS (replace)

[cloud cedar]

So you included both plugins into one plugin or?

[rich birch]

Yes

[cloud cedar]

Alright

[rich birch]

And voila they can be used like this pictured

[cloud cedar]

Yep it successfully works

[lunar snow]

Guys any tips for making this symmistrycal?

[urban grove]

Uh what are you making?

[lunar snow]

@urban grove uh this

Need help

[urban grove]

Oooh ok

[unique pivot]

you actually need to stack floors with anims

[versed pike]

But how i have to do that?

[unique pivot]

well

you need to make only 1 floor

base, and top

use base as frame

then create floor anim (define is as any other anim, just with 1 frame and no night settings)

and stack it in array

this is slightly more complicated

but that's definition of anims for my twin towers with different floors

and they have different height

usually it looks more like this

I am not a pro, though

but this works

I am not good at explaining

also it's a bit difficult to get cords right

[orchid sorrel]

we should write a tutorial about that at some point

[unique pivot]

I wanted to write a tutorial

so i can just copy paste the link

but I forgot about cords

[orchid sorrel]

lol

[unique pivot]

how do I calculate them?

[orchid sorrel]

I explained coordinates so many times in this channel

0,0 is leftmost pixel of the "baseplate"

[fickle frigate]

i am making a waste-to-energy plant. It collects garbage and turns it into electricity.
Should i set type for it energy or waste disposal ?

[unique pivot]

oh I have the same thing btw

for my cyberpunk mod

[fickle frigate]

oh

what is its type ?

[unique pivot]

I don't remember, let me check

waste disposal

[versed pike]

Looks like can take some time to do, but i will try

[unique pivot]

but it's very useful

it saves a ton of plugin space

[orchid sorrel]

coordinates basics

totally not drawn in 3 minutes

[unique pivot]

ew n#rds I better use random numbers!!!🤢

[fickle frigate]

mine :v

[lunar snow]

@fickle frigate wow! Looking good 🤩

[rich birch]

is it a mock building? from which game?

[fickle frigate]

i use texuture from world texture

[rich birch]

Wow you have started to improve your pixel painting talent 🔥❤️👍🏼

[unique pivot]

okay it looks cooler than mine :(

even though it's different style

[uneven plover]

It looks nice

I know that factory in game too

[fickle frigate]

haha. i use the coal plant's texture and the chimney of the nuclear power plant to create it

[lunar snow]

My plugins has been scraped so here is the new one

[urban grove]

Which plugin that has been scraped?

[lunar snow]

This one @urban grove

[unique pivot]

[urban grove]

Oof

:(

[unique pivot]

why tho

[urban grove]

I think is a bit too hard for him or he give up

It will be kinda unique for theotown (the building)

Since is titled a bit

[lunar snow]

I fked up everything since that diagonal structure @urban grove

[urban grove]

Oof

[unique pivot]

wdym

you mean this?

inclined part

[lunar snow]

@unique pivot yes

[unique pivot]

sad

[lunar snow]

I thought it was easy at first

But i was wrong

[urban grove]

4×4? Or 5×5?

[lunar snow]

@urban grove 5x5

[uneven plover]

aww noo

[urban grove]

Yea rip

[urban grove]

It would be really cool if this building was added to the game

[uneven plover]

which one

for circle building color

[rain gate]

2

[untold pumice]

3

[lunar snow]

@uneven plover OMG! Its so beautiful

2 btw

[uneven plover]

thank you

okay then I will go with white

[lunar snow]

Ye ya should go with that

Anyway

87% done

[rain gate]

second

[uneven plover]

👍

[uneven plover]

you might try that to add some black windows randomly like real one it would look nice maybe

[lunar snow]

@uneven plover yes i will. Though would be time-consuming

[uneven plover]

yeah thats for sure lol

[lunar snow]

Ye lol

[sharp kettle]

Hot

[signal lagoon]

use my plugin. lol if you set the handle y of your animations right, you can click that wizard or click the new button to find the numbers fast.

if you have a problem with it, let me know.

[unique pivot]

how is it called?

[livid agate]

Bearded Wizard

[uneven plover]

currently it looks like this and dont has most of the things I had in my mind yet

nvm

[lunar snow]

@signal lagoon ah cool what plugin is that?

[uneven plover]

it is animation dev tool by ian

making skyscrapers not really hard actually

this should be harder to make

a plaza mall for bottom

might or not use anim for floors

[lunar snow]

Cool. Is it available in plugin store?

[uneven plover]

yes

[unique pivot]

Ah it's ian

Didn't recognize

[frail monolith]

How am i supposed to paste this?

[urban grove]

For me is 2 or 3

Can you add all of them? Later on

[uneven plover]

I am sorry

[urban grove]

Like what TCPS did on one of their plugin just add all of the thing

[uneven plover]

but that would use more texture space if I dont use anims

[unique pivot]

Hmmmm so I finally finished something and released sirens and a building

Which is good

[uneven plover]

I dont know if I will use anims or not too

[unique pivot]

But idk what should I continue now

Make some residential pack? (I have 3 ideas)

Or learn to make cars

And add them

And make vanilla styled rci car expansion

Or low rise commercial pack with stores n stuff

[uneven plover]

make offices

[urban grove]

Uh i guess low rise commercial? or residential pack

[uneven plover]

yeah low rise commercial

[urban grove]

What building is this btw?

[uneven plover]

it is a building I designed in my mind

[urban grove]

Ok fictional?

[uneven plover]

yes

[urban grove]

Hmm kewl

[uneven plover]

it is not really near finished yet but this is the overall look of it

I am trying to use 3 different styles in it

[lunar snow]

@uneven plover very beautiful indeed. How long does it take to make that?

[uneven plover]

it is just a skeleton yet, it took my 2 days but probably 4 hours total

[unique pivot]

Yusuf you're cool af and that building is sexy ngl

I wanna draw something cool too but I am lazy

[unique pivot]

Damn I forgot about office zone

I should start some office blocks soon

May do something smaller soon, just a single skyscraper building and that's all

[unique pivot]

You're not going to use animations? Just curious

[glass harbor]

Damn you got th at done in 2 hours like that last part

[uneven plover]

I might use but thinking to add somethings there

and thanks

[lunar snow]

night anim 😕

[uneven plover]

gotta add a vertical garden for office building and continue later

[uneven plover]

making some windows dark actually making the building better for each floor

and now I have come to a thought about slaughtering the plugin texture space

[lunar snow]

Need help at coding night frame

[uneven plover]

lol

have you tried ian's tool

[lunar snow]

@uneven plover not yet

[uneven plover]

I really like this

what you guys think?

it is good except real life problem of having to clean the building from dead leaves

[sharp dawn]

I like it Yusuf ! :)

[midnight obsidian]

looks a bit odd but it's amazing

[uneven plover]

thanks and yeah I find it odd too

[versed pike]

You do a nice work

[sharp kettle]

Nice! Dont forget shadows

[uneven plover]

So bad

Electrics went off I dont know how much I lost from progress

[unique pivot]

Honestly I personally liked it more without greenery but the graphics is still cool

That's nice

Nice

I think that's a good result for a first plugin

Idk

[lunar snow]

@unique pivot thats your first plugin? Wow. Its beautiful for a first one. My first plugin was terrible

[unique pivot]

Yeah it is my first on store, thanks

Well actually the first was golden pickle but it didn't get approved

But I don't think the graphics were that bad

[lunar snow]

@unique pivot ye of course its not bad. Its beautiful

[unique pivot]

True masterpiece

[unique pivot]

Thanks :)

[thin wraith]

The Golden Pickle Family¿

Man wtf is this

How that plugin got approved???

[versed pike]

Dont look bad at all, only need more detail

[raw oasis]

So i want to make a plugin, but i dont know where to start, and i dont know what app should i use, it would be great if you help me! :)

[thin wraith]

System?

Check the pins

@raw oasis

[versed pike]

I use paint to do them

In PC

[raw oasis]

Thank you so much! I will try to make some plugins, well even tho i dont have an experience but i will try

[thin wraith]

And where do you add transparency?

[versed pike]

For transparent parts i use photoshop

[thin wraith]

Ok

[raw oasis]

Ok

[versed pike]

Ok

[chilly mango]

You can make transparent layers in paint.net

[versed pike]

Im happy, my first plugin have a good calification

Lol i dont knew that there are a comments section in the plugin store 😅

[thin wraith]

Nice!

[versed pike]

Im thinking the game needs this:

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3c9dc4_26471941f6cc491c89d004518a83c1a4~mv2_d_1600_1200_s_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_740,h_555,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01/3c9dc4_26471941f6cc491c89d004518a83c1a4~mv2_d_1600_1200_s_2.webp

i wil bring some of these in the future

[thin wraith]

Good ol' Latin American houses

[versed pike]

Yeah, that thing would be good for latin american cities

[thin wraith]

Sup. I can't make a Latin American styled borough :c

[versed pike]

the plugins from Bernardo are very good to make a latin american city

[thin wraith]

Yeah
I use a lot of these

[old portal]

Thanks guys
:)

[thin wraith]

You're welcome!

[versed pike]

also the buildings by pixelbit

and me in some moment i will do some w2w argentinian buildings

[frozen aurora]

Ok, I'm starting a new project where I'll let y'all choose a new city every month for me to make as many buildings as I can to be released. I'm starting off in smaller American cities first, so, my first choices for y'all:

1. Minneapolis, Minnesota
2. Columbus, Ohio
3. Kansas City, Missouri

Voting lasts for 24 hours.

[glass harbor]

Columbus Ohio

Does someone have a building template o can edit to make my own plugins

??

[versed pike]

you mean these things?

https://forum.theotown.com/download/file.php?id=32542&sid=12a0b3c59dad737737c422f42ea0ffec

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=3207

[glass harbor]

I have those but like

Wall templates and window templates.

Foundation templates etc

Even trees

[versed pike]

Wait, i will find these

[glass harbor]

K

Ty

[versed pike]

i found this, can be usefull for new plugin creators

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=2290

i still finding the template things

[glass harbor]

Okay

[versed pike]

Here is it:

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=5659

also if you have any doubt you can ask me

[glass harbor]

It’s all one photo

[versed pike]

yes but you can take things like trees from there and also you can see how the buildings in the game are

[glass harbor]

True

[glass harbor]

https://youtu.be/Qw51vwlMd4M I want to be able to do this with buildings

This guy kept copying and pasting buildings and it seemed ez

[versed pike]

would be amazing a tool like this on TheoTown

or a line tool which make able you to put buildings that you select in a row, would be useful to make residential areas fast

[glass harbor]

Yes, instead of placing it down manually, or using zones

[urban grove]

The closest thing to that is this

[glass harbor]

Sadly you only can do it with one thing

And you can’t do it with Residential buildings

[stoic palm]

Well if Tut couldn't do it there's s reason

[glass harbor]

Idk

[versed pike]

that bad, i wanted to do it specifically with houses xD

[glass harbor]

XD

One day I made a city and

[lunar snow]

100% done

[versed pike]

Congratulations, looks very good

[lunar snow]

Tks 😊

[versed pike]

what is your name in the plugin shop?

[uneven plover]

Le office :trollface:

[lunar snow]

@versed pike havent uploaded yet

[urban grove]

Dang that look amazing

[lunar snow]

Thank you

[urban grove]

Is a bit too tall but still 👍

[random current]

How to change plugin sound , plz help

[uneven plover]

Sound?

[random current]

Yes

[rich birch]

"soundclick":"yourmusic.mp3",
,If I am not mistaken...

[urban grove]

Will you credit me for the building?

[lunar snow]

@urban grove no. I just said that i got inspiration from #plugin-suggestions

[urban grove]

Ok ;-;

[sharp kettle]

Simon:

[unique pivot]

a

[rich birch]

Am I the only one who realized that golden gate has a bug

[unique pivot]

bruh

[random current]

Thanks

[leaden cobalt]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I will never be able to unsee this

[rich birch]

What are the names of the plugins in this photo? I found the photo in theotown gallery

[uneven plover]

Looks like rockfort and ttownlover and maybe some montemarino

But I know ttownlover makes stuff for european

[storm raft]

@rich birch for sure private plugin

[sick rune]

Yeah, RCI buildings don't work well with Lua

For some reason, I couldn't get the Lua system to place them

That's why the tool doesn't support them

[fickle frigate]

What is this light plugin ?

[uneven plover]

it is by kekman

Spotlights

[fickle frigate]

Thank you

I am making a smaller one

[unique pivot]

yo that's like my illumination plugin

but with a bit different stuff

I wanted to have similar beacons, though

[uneven plover]

Looking really nice

[uneven plover]

How it is looking now

[unique pivot]

didn't really continue it but 1 minute

as you can see it's on early stage

[next pendant]

Looks amazing

[unique pivot]

Big question

Since I'll need some time to release

What do you think about releasing cyberpunk 2077 megabuilding separate, like my glass towers?

Cons:
Eyyy lazy s#mon doesn't want to draw buildings so he steals from himself
Pros:
Big mone lotta fun and I'll finish the texture

[hexed night]

What does releasing it seperate have any effect on anything tho?

[versed pike]

looks like your pack have alredy many buildings, you can release it now i think

[unique pivot]

I need spaceports and service buildings

It feels unfinished for me

[versed pike]

this can be the first part

[hexed night]

If that's the case then go ahead

[versed pike]

but is your decission

[hexed night]

Yeah

[unique pivot]

Spaceport and service building should be one of main gameplay abilities

I think I want too much from myself but I should finish stuff

[hexed night]

Looks like ur almost done tho

[unique pivot]

It's going to have somewhere 100 buildings and I am not exaggerating

[hexed night]

Eyyy

[versed pike]

the buildings looks very great

[hexed night]

How many buildings you got so far?

[unique pivot]

Idk, honestly, but more than 50

[hexed night]

Thats great

Means your halfway done

[unique pivot]

Imma make a list of things

[hexed night]

Whats the list cuz im thinking of suggesting something?

[unique pivot]

Service buildings, like police, ambulance, fire, maybe schools
A building covered in neon banners which spawns advertisements drones
Like 10 more flying cars for different classes
Several more hangars with spaceships
Spaceport decorations
Spaceport buildings
Some stuff like sound and pollution removers but not OP, and some vertical glass park

Possibly Hyperloop, maybe as separate pack

[hexed night]

Tf is a hyperloop?

[unique pivot]

I wanted to add more RCI but there's so much that I think it'll go separate

Train but cool looking and fast

It has 2 systems to replace taxis

[hexed night]

The list should be easy to finish if you got a good schedule bro

[unique pivot]

Flying taxis and fliers depot

[hexed night]

Flying taxis :o

[unique pivot]

I don't, in fact, have a good schedule

And I am a lazy person

[hexed night]

Same

[unique pivot]

I got at least 5 plugin ideas and some are in making

[hexed night]

Bruv

Try focusing on like 1 plugin

And finish it

[unique pivot]

It's a miracle I finished sirens

With lua

[hexed night]

Nice

[unique pivot]

(CAS)

[hexed night]

How do you even make your plugins then?

What do you use

[unique pivot]

Wdym

Notepad

And piskel

[hexed night]

Piskel

[unique pivot]

It's not necessarily piskel I just got used to it

[hexed night]

Ah ok

[unique pivot]

I may be dumb but I got modular build plugin and I think it's a bit revolutionary

[hexed night]

What does it do?

[unique pivot]

It allows you to build buildings yourself

From walls roofs windows n stuff

Of any shape, any size

[hexed night]

o-o

[unique pivot]

Any color

And it can be used for railway station

-s

Possibly airports

And any building automatically has random night lights

[hexed night]

Thats gonna be insanely laggy

But its a cool concept

Imma let you do your thing now

I gtg

Cya

And good luck

[unique pivot]

Not really

If may be not that cool as I think.... But someone is probably going to use it

Also, for cyberpunk mod, I thought of asking someone experienced, as example akunbaru to do hangars probably but I am not sure they'll have time and I just don't know if should I

I'll finish it anyway, soon or later

[unique pivot]

Read this btw, someone

[glass harbor]

Hey Simon, could I use your building templates to make my own plug-in so I could learn how to do shading and texturing?

[unique pivot]

What do you mean by my building templates?

@glass harbor

I don't mind sharing, probably, but I just don't really understand what did you mean

[glass harbor]

Like wall templates and window templates like that

@unique pivot

[unique pivot]

Ah

It's stored as fences

Which are stacked by anims

So in image there is two walls

If you actually need these, I may give them to you, no problem

[glass harbor]

Okay, could I use them?

[unique pivot]

Send friend invite

I'll send a bit in dms tomorrow

[glass harbor]

K

My dms are closed

[frozen aurora]

Ok, while not exactly 24 hours, I don't think there will be any new votes, so I'll begin working on new plugin buildings from Columbus, Ohio, for the next month or so (until probably August 1st).

First building I'll be working on:

LeVeque Tower

[versed pike]

Nice, i love that tower

what is your name in the plugin store? @frozen aurora

[frozen aurora]

Brettig iirc

[glass harbor]

I live 30 mins outside Columbus

And that’s the coolest building there

Also like the one brown building

Let me find it

[frozen aurora]

I've visited Columbus a lot. I love Columbus.

(I live in the NW corner of Ohio)

[frozen aurora]

The State Office building?

[glass harbor]

Oh nice

[versed pike]

Columbus have various nice buildings

[frozen aurora]

Yes, it's a pretty city

I'm gonna do the LeVeque Tower on a 4x4 base

[subtle pier]

I have designed a bad building.

What do you guys think?

[sharp kettle]

👀

[subtle pier]

It looks bad I know.

[versed pike]

really dont look bad

need some details only

[lunar snow]

Well

[subtle pier]

Yeah

[lunar snow]

If u make it like the theotown view

It will look better

[subtle pier]

Ok

[glass harbor]

Columbus is the best big city in Ohio

IMO

[versed pike]

You are using 3 pixels for each part, you have to use only 2

[lunar snow]

@subtle pier ya should use the buulding templates on TT forum

[subtle pier]

Oh

Ok

[sharp kettle]

And try watching tutorials on yt

[subtle pier]

Thanks for the advice and tips.

[lunar snow]

@subtle pier Im sure that u are talented

[sharp kettle]

Ah yes, im finnaly inhabitant of megalopolis

[lunar snow]

@sharp kettle cool. Congrats 🎊 🎉

[versed pike]

but you doing a nice job, only you need to make it better

[sharp kettle]

Ty

[versed pike]

fell free to ask for advices here

[subtle pier]

Yeah I'm practicing the design

[versed pike]

Congratulations for that!!

[subtle pier]

Good job!

[versed pike]

sorry for ignorance, but what that roles means?

[subtle pier]

Nothing really.

[cloud cedar]

Mostly for levels and stuff

[next pendant]

This one is already made by Bernardo

[frozen aurora]

I think it's a different building that looks similar.

[next pendant]

Hmm

Maybe but it exactly looks same

And if I am not wrong the name is also same

[frozen aurora]

I think this one is the one that looks similar

And the one that I'm planning to make is from Columbus, Ohio. I think Bernardo focuses mainly on South American builds.

[rain gate]

Nope, he didn't. Bernardo made similar buildings, such as the Salvo Palace from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the Central do Rio from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But nothing that he made is from other places than South America.

[versed pike]

This is the building made by Bernardo, the Salvo Palace of Uruguay

https://estaticos.efe.com/efecom/recursos2/imagen.aspx?lVW2oAh2vjPe6ljZsru8ekqVL-P-2fhTRBCjQ4TncnkXVSTX-P-2bAoG0sxzXPZPAk5l-P-2fU5UOeDyOWsgkknBf-P-2bxvS-P-2fgT5A-P-3d-P-3d

very different from the Le Veque tower in Columbus

[glass harbor]

^

[next pendant]

Not this one

[next pendant]

Oh ok

[next pendant]

Yes this was the one he made

Sorry for making this fuss

[frozen aurora]

No worries

I understand the concern

[midnight obsidian]

The shading on the second building is wrong

[unique pivot]

yeah that's not how lighting works

[rich birch]

turns out it's also difficult to make a small lighthouse 🥱

[old portal]

I updated it

[versed pike]

I know it, that was a nice job

[old portal]

This is the new version that is avalaliable in the store now

[old portal]

Uruguay, not Argentina

[lunar snow]

@old portal Wow

Just wow

[lunar snow]

Theotown plugins creator should start update their diagonal road plugins

[rain gate]

@lilac dawn your diagonal road is the most popular out there

[lilac dawn]

What?

[rain gate]

or not yours

[lilac dawn]

Nope. Kartofun i suppose

[rain gate]

ah

[lilac dawn]

He is my friend

[rain gate]

i just remembered it was one of you two

and it seems that he's not on discord

[lilac dawn]

Yep. My plug about хрущевка

[uneven plover]

yes

[uneven plover]

I have some ocd about making plugins

probably that's why I was having more entertain from makings something fictional

like work tower, I over think on it and it really matches up everything with real life size

[frozen aurora]

Beginnings of the LeVeque Tower

[versed pike]

is the beggining but alredy looks like a work of good quality

Base of the building almost finished, is 5x5, is a big building but not very tall

shadows cooming soon

[old portal]

Nice!

[frail monolith]

It looks alot like a Med-Rise Manila apartment

But good job

[versed pike]

Thanks guys :D

[versed pike]

that means that the tower will fit good in Philipinean style cities

Also a pair of photos of the real building

https://preview.redd.it/y36iv98b42671.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=37aced55d469a8b54a32720e17ae85b6e429bf56

[frail monolith]

Looks almost the same to this. Just without the base

[versed pike]

yeah, the colors are similar

but i dont see them look alike

[cloud cedar]

@urban grove Is the plugin in the in-game store or forum?

[urban grove]

Ingame

[cloud cedar]

@urban grove the ratings are hella bad

[urban grove]

Yea

Is kinda bad

I wish there is another cable car plugin

That actually have good rating

[cloud cedar]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

[urban grove]

Well i don't make plugin soooo

[versed pike]

Guys, for office buildings how much pixels tall would have each floors?

my BankBoston Tower have 5, but im thinking that should be 6 or 7

[urban grove]

I think 7 or 8 but is kinda depends

[frozen aurora]

It's getting better and better

[frozen aurora]

Update

The first floor is finally in a complete enough state

Just a little detailing work before I move to the next few levels and finish the main arches above the main entrance.

[urban grove]

What is this?

[cloud cedar]

Ayo that looks good

[frozen aurora]

The LeVeque Tower from Columbus, Ohio, part of my new project where I'll be creating different plugins of various buildings from around different cities across the US and Canada. This month's city is Columbus.

[frozen aurora]

Thanks

[cloud cedar]

yes yes yes i need american buildings

[frozen aurora]

Is a Australian building?

[uneven plover]

Nope it is fictional

I made it

[unique pivot]

why would it be Australian tho

[uneven plover]

maybe cuz of its too white? Dunno

[urban grove]

Kinda remind me of a building from Frankfurt, Germany

I don't like that there's green on it but that's my own opinion ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You guys gave me a idea for a future plugin

A french-looking shopping building

[sharp dawn]

I would love to see it 😁

[uneven plover]

lol

[rich birch]

My lighthouse, is something wrong?? It's really hard to make this thing 😅

[uneven plover]

maybe add some small windows for tube and a big glass area at roof floor

also red brown rust at bottom like it is worn by salty sea

[fallen sand]

You know any plugin that Generate money?

[uneven plover]

If you have all other good

They still will be happy

Its working rly XD

Cya to tommorow

[rich birch]

[uneven plover]

It is really nice

Is this to put directly on sea?

[sharp kettle]

Add shadows for the floor

[rich birch]

Yes.. That's why I put a small pier in front

[sudden minnow]

[frozen aurora]

This is taking longer than expected

It's getting taller tho

[glass harbor]

Nice

Can’t wait til it’s done

[urban grove]

This game lack old building

[glass harbor]

Oh nice

How many plugins have you made ?

[feral marsh]

I made more than 40 of them.

[glass harbor]

Are they on the plug store?

[feral marsh]

There are almost all of them.

[versed pike]

what is your user in plugin store?

[feral marsh]

username?

[versed pike]

[feral marsh]

Dekuz

[fiery elm]

Nice!
What is this plug-in's name?

[feral marsh]

Not yet released

[sharp kettle]

Yooo!!!

Your night animation is perfect as always

[fiery elm]

Ok, thx

[versed pike]

I think for a next plugin i will make this old sketchup model made by me

[lunar snow]

Wow

[urban grove]

Remind me of the cespa building from Madrid, Spain

But is a THICCER version

[versed pike]

Yeah but this dont have hole

is a south american style building

inspired by a building in La Plata City

https://mapio.net/images-p/60936220.jpg

Finally night lights for the "Edificio Torre"

how them looks?

[urban grove]

Look nice

[versed pike]

Ty

[versed pike]

I should include a half of the night version of the tower in the png or should leave only day version?

[fallen sand]

How get Night time?

[versed pike]

yes

[fallen sand]

?

Is there plugin or in game option for night?

[rain gate]

It is a game option in the settings.

[fallen sand]

Ok

Done

[fallen sand]

I got my first "creation" xD

Looks bad ik

[unique pivot]

Bruh

The outlines are wrong and it's absolutely not suitable for theotown because if perspective

Never mix 2 pixels wide outline with 1 pixel wide

Also theotown doesn't need outline at all

[fallen sand]

?

I never create in pixel xD

[urban grove]

I recommend watching some tutorial @fallen sand

[sharp dawn]

WTF , its looks like an icon of some sort , than a proper building for theotown

[sharp kettle]

https://youtu.be/knoyT3w9Fn0

Maybe this will help

[old portal]

Nice!

[versed pike]

Thanks!

[unique pivot]

I got sudden inspiration

imma speedrun triangular roofs before it ends

just looked at cyberpunk plugin files

wait how do I draw triangular roofs

blue is shaded side

alright I am bad at it imma look at some buildings

[urban grove]

When will you release it

[uneven plover]

Trying to add a heli to top

[uneven plover]

Lol speedruning plugins really help

But you should take your hands from social media, atleast for me bc I always end up looking at yt or dc

[unique pivot]

bruh

feels wrong

[sharp kettle]

The top one has a incorrect pixel @unique pivot

[unique pivot]

oh this

yeah already saw it and fixed

thanks

this is a bit harder than I thought

this kinda makes sense but I am also entering the 4th dimension

this is like T-road merge but for a roof

you can see that it's really crappy and doesn't even make sense

bruh

okay I'll fix it later

hmm

wait

this side is flat in my pixelart and that makes sense

but not here

and they should be connectible like road

[sharp kettle]

The shadows looks a little strange

Glad i studied how shadows work

[unique pivot]

I never studied anything for pixelart

how do I make them look better

[sharp kettle]

Can i try something with the roof?

[unique pivot]

I can send you the image in dms

[sharp kettle]

Mk

[unique pivot]

ah yes

[sharp kettle]

Ye, i fixed the shadows on that one

[unique pivot]

\

looks pretty nice but need some fixes still and it's unfinished

just need a bit more

have almost no idea how to make + connection

nvm got an idea

that feeling when I am reentering every 2 minutes to make changes and my steam friends started noticing something

need to fix some pixel mess

[unique pivot]

now I need to make turns

[urban grove]

What is that

[sharp kettle]

Roof

[unique pivot]

modular triangle roof

for this build plugin

I'll add details soon
