For bluestacks?
i have the money for the game, just not the payment method for it
well yes
but how can i test my plugins if i dont have theo-
i have notepad++, i have the software for making art
so what else can plugins do besides custom buildings and stuff
plugin man appears
so plugins use lua
they can
png, json, lua
haven't seen plugins with other file types, other than dsa and maybe sound files
well, coming from python, i hope learning lua would be a simple switch
ah yes mostlyβ’οΈ
It is easy but some api infos are hard to underatand tho
ayo that's my story
what kind of stuff did you make in python?
the most simple thing i did is a print nuke
and the most complex thing i think i made is a text-based rpg (like you can move with wasd and the character moves one text space)
I came from batch and vbs code copying to using json
Oh and html too
I came from html as well
well i guess ill just make custom decoration for my first plugins (i forgot to finish them a few weeks ago)
I ade simple world generation, crappy natural selection simulation (unfinished) and some simpler stuff
lua isn;t that hard
the worst thing is that you don't have stack overflow for theotown gui
you have erksmit instead
but you need to wait
okay
Applying noise will never be easier after you start using pdn
whats pdn paint.net?
@chilly mango that's your new job
@fickle frigate is that yellow road a plugin?
Yes. I download it in the store
fence master
fence cult when
π
That would be cool if we could make the right oriantation and summon something. A little easter egg
putting the fences in an among us crewmate shape will summon sussy pickle
that was a horrible joke
man
Is that a new thing coming?
modern fence #5498416419849684696
I know that fence but the alignment
Where mincraf fence?
the game still have some vanilla buildings without night lighthing?
Or maybe you can combine both frames (one next to the other) and type: "frames":[{"bmp":"A&Btogether.png","w":64,"count":2}], instead of "frames":[{"bmp":"A.png},{"bmp":"B.png"}].
how that works?
I've said you in DMs
Try to add roof decor @river phoenix
Looks nice!
agree, needs roof decoration
Nice work, is your first plugin?
he has made so many indian style buildings like taj palace,ram temple, some mumbai buildings etc i hope he will make lotus temple later
Thank you for your good feedback.
I am making lotus temple
Here it is
The new (wip) diagonal building
Help I forgot where to put plugin zip files
There is no theotown internal folder
It's just this
Hlelp
I disagree
there is a category for fences
or you meant plugin category?
@rain gate https://youtu.be/3peYxuK7BS4
In this tutorial for TheoTown, I'm going to show you how to install forum plugins for game versions 1.9.95 and above (or Android 10 and above and 1.9.82 and above)
Also go download my fill sandbox requirements plugin ;)

If your on Android
oh right
inb4 a cease and desist from paradox
my favorite fences from the fence pack
lmao
i found a way to place fences on water
it's very tedious though
good news, it's possible
Oh really nice, how?
so basically
you place a fence, and then place the water one by one around the fence
just make sure not to place multiple tiles at once near the fence, because that will demolish the fence
sounds like unfixed bug
please don't fix it
I'm 100 percent positive this is @fickle frigate plugin plese make remake of this plese
I guess it is by sharizal inu, ahkatori has better stuff
if you have it link the plugin thank you
Nope sorry
ok ) :
where mine fences π€
How can i test plugins without having theotown (i dont have theotown pc)
No, i don't have that plugin
oh it is an amazing plugin tho whoever made this props to you
Import them to your phone
(i am using an android emulator)
Those are your only options...
its that or buy the game
i even asked the bluestacks server how i could see the com.flowersoft.thing from the windows file explorer
and this is what i got
maybe look into other vm's
one of your fences is at the top
oi
where is fire and why
I just wanted to balance the plugin but no problem looking at police stats for it now
this is gamewerty's werty tower park plugin
do you have the file to this thing
No, but you can find this in in-game plugin store
nope he privated it
Maybe check forum
still nope
Uhhh, idk
finally my laziness worked somewhere
it was going to be like this but it was also killing how it looks at night too
and also there wasnt the right animations in tt, was soo lazy for more custom ones
That is not Anhkatori plugin,. That is gamewerty plugin
I think is private now
Hello, I'm on smartphone and I download a plug in in the forum but I didn't see it in my game. How can I see it ?
You gotta move it to your Luton folder in files
because these signs and lamps might be the plugin he's working on
,,,,
I think it belongs to Kopyovska? But its private
How do I access the file manager in game
People are always saying use the file manager to get plugins but they never explain where it even is
It's in the menu
I've checked it's not there
Maybe you need to activate it in the settings?
Or do you have the latest Version?
Latest version
Beta?
No
And all the other advice for getting plugins in game do not work
I dont even have a proper theotown folder
And you can't even search for a folder
Oop the folder just magically reappears
I fixed it
Hes a expert plugin maker π
Ah ok sorry I thought it was an existing plugin

I mistook it for plugin with green signs
It's for the next update of slow traffic package ;)
@drifting aspen noicee
minecraft tnt is my fav plugin
I want to make tsar bomba plugin
it will work like tnt but I think you guessed how it explodes
The reason I like it is, it has different ways to explode
You should make a good wire hanged traffic light signal, just like that fire signal becon
They are based on TT service buildings requirements and influences
that's actually to avoid getting a cease and desist from paradox
they're hiding the truth
Say you are joking
lol
o.o
it looks great
Do it again
Let me remove ranks and add more influence
@livid agate is it ok if i raise my parks's price ?
that's exactly what you should do
check vanilla 4x4 buildings to see influences
for parks
Thank you
can raise it higher for diligent creators, sure
@urban grove why am I finding 100ds of aswme plugins just see them privated
what
yeah what
CAS finally surpassed glass towers
not for long
For better plugin store we need to remove half of the plugins there takes out the gaunlet
poor designer anthony
He needs to work on his plugins
But Iβm the next few months he will be good at it
He just want to earn diamonds imo
Well he just over painted one of kevin's buildings
π
oof
@livid agate i've uploaded the new version. Do you think that i should raise more price ?
I'll check it later
To be honest... his (Designer Anthony) plugins would have been fine if they didn't get approved on the store.
And if he took our advices.
I wish plugin store would actually be free, everyone could use it, for fun, and not for the sole purpose of getting gems
we asked for texture quality π
if I was a mod I would just stop approving him
Ho- how then explain why did you guys accepted designer anthony's "zigzag" water and power plugin which is way way too much OP
It wasn't me who approved it
I only use the diamonds I earned from the store to organize some funny minigame in the theotown vietnam group
Thats pretty good
I can't even imagine what it's like in real life
Still tho
I guess we should get some more plugin store mods
like people who actually create plugins
Btw I dont want to change its ranks, they are pretty balanced imo considering how much land medical clinic uses and gives less amount of health provide
Lua plugins?
what??
What is plugin mods lol
Oh dam it my dumb hit me again
lol
Yeah mod sounds like the mod for the games
What do you think about my plugins? I'm not satisfied with my night animations
but I'm glad people download them a lot
@livid agate ? Can you just approve it please, I was awake to 1 am just balancing the plugin and making the desc., thumbnail
i only know 3 plugin store moderators that i think are plugin store moderators
Sure
Thank you
They are really nice but you are kinda wasting some plugin space
i know 8 plugin store moderators
I know commander abab, ja and kulche
Commander probably the one who accepts anthony plugins
I'm not a plugin store moderator
Aw
i knew ja, commanderabab and montemarino
Montemarino is active?
i am trying to minimize the waste of plugin space. I will reduce plugin space in my future plugins, as well as fix old plugins
i am making a huge smartphone factory
its materials is 100% from world texture π
sounds like a disapproval waiting to happen
Kinda big, looking like going to lag the game
ah yes 16x16
i haven't done it
@fickle frigate I think you should make it modulable, it would be great
thank you all, maybe i will decrease its size
O think itβs almost the same size as that coke factory
Idk
Wow hmm π€
There is a texture at forum
But you probably want more shaped walmart
I see
What in the world
in my imagine, but maybe it will be like the Samsung factory in China
Arent phone factories in china have anti suicide nets under them?
i don't know that
ouch
it's too big
and too much copy pasting
Look
i haven't done it. Tomorrow i will add more details and decorations to it
yeah but it doesn't mean you're going to make it smaller
I'm looking into that
mememmememememmem please giv mdo!!!!!!!modgiv!!Uioewwdilskp
okay
right now I am busy (very), so modular build pack is going to be delayed
what
from 2 days to 1 week
in Vietnam there are many huge factory π
..... w-what if we kissed lying on Chinese smartphone factory anti-suicide net π€©
Most Samsung phones in my country are from Vietnam
my plugins take from a year to heat death of universe to finish
I'm cringe
my biggest super cool plugin was almost ready
and then I was like "hm I should buy dyson sphere program that crap's fire"
(I saw everything)
Damn
and now I am trying to make hexagon grid in python
Sad
and then I'll just drop an update
and soon, separate packs if I figure out "once" keyword
Cool
yeah, as i know, 50% samsung products are from Vietnam
Good Afternoon people
@fickle frigate there is no samsung factory in china the Samsung factory is only in korea and other countries because of the us laws so they publically left china for good
I wacth a lot tech videos that's how I know
oh, i see some samsung factory in China in Google
it's only TV
there all other brands are in korea and other countries
don't leave huuuge empty spaces, stack stuff with anims if you don't already
use x and y parameters
@fickle frigate
thank you. I have tried that in my new plugins π
okay, have good luck
and i will fix my old plugins too
that's all bye all
yeah removing empty space from some frames will be good
you can see i do that in my new parks
but how can you see frames spaces ?
I got a reaction from someone wow
from me π
pt in console
what is the code ?
good night
I would just jump for fun
Ah yes , modern industry is very lacking in TT
Plugins suggestions belongs to #plugin-suggestions .
this is garage, isn't it?
I also planned to make industry packs soon
let's switch from fence age to industrial revolution
Nah, imma stick around with decor plugins
New graphics!
@rain gate what if you make a zone out of your suburban buildings?
this may sound stupid but there is no good suburban zones plugins
and you have a lot of them
I think it would be nice
I am not planning to do one...
and very useful
Custom zones are broken
ah
But thanks for suggestion.
that's very sad
custom zones are very interesting
hope they fix
I'll create my own suburban zone then
Lol there are 4 suburban zones if we also count pixelbits
it take too a lot of time
well pixelbit, if you consider making custom zone, it won't be very hard with your set of buildings
but yeah such a shame zones are broken
yeah, the brazilian and american commercial and residential packs
good
Oh, I forgot to show that I am also updating the RS pack.
@livid agate should I sent the plugin (same thing) again to make it approved?
what plugin?
RS?
Rio Grande do Sul.
It's a state in South Brazil.
csl?
cities skylines
I forgor π
a lot of people are calling it like that
well c:s or csl
csl has less confunsion for that pew pew guns game
someone said they have a problem with tornadoes and I remember having too but now it works (cas mod)
we need comment replying feature
with notification
because when you post a lua plugin and someone said "error with X pls fix"
We already have notification tab but it is for online region things
you can't really ask what exactly is wrong
and some info
because they just forget about their comment and never ever check
no, this is probably going to be some factory. the two gates are supposed to be for pickup or sth
I don't like how people write in Russian in plugin store, not understanding that not everyone speak it and english is international
well I am russian
but still
he doesn't know probably
Pickle factory
Child labor?
o.o
i guess that factory can be a furniture factory
If you know, you know
y
Idk
y = yes
lmao best factory ever
Bruh coders
You gotta lua it?
It's just I have to type Y/n to confirm installations or etc on linux
Its always that linux
Modern world would be impossible without it
Anyway
Let me know when you submit a new revision
I'll approve it
Too lazy to open pc but I will
no
why do you correlate everything with lua lol
i'll lua it when i'll actually bother to learn it
ngl I will probably not lua code iron steel
Like ja said, it is too complex for most of player base. Seeing that some people hating dsa
idk I am maniac
lua is pretty fun
wrong
until you misname a var and spend your life debugging it
yeah, but can it draw a giant ultra hd overlay?
mmm
I just want to use city spawn car
And target reached idk
nvm I dont want to talk complex code things
@midnight obsidian make this
speaking of making stuff, progress!
this kind of looks like a nuclear reactor lol
with the colors
don't mind the lack of noise
roblox tycoons on theotown when
if you upload it, make sure to call it SUPERHERO TYCOON [NEW]
It would be cool if we can upgrade and make it bigger
guess the building and win 1000 diamonds (except simon and the leaf) only this image

Is a electric generation station or a factory with a ski track
π
Possibly in some scandinavian country

lmao yes
erksmit has a diamond generator
i dont need more diamonds
1k is nothing to him

he lost tho
Technically
Don't have my source code
Oslo Opera House?
ah
That's mild punishment
nope copenhill
sucks to be you
facferC won
so i cant do the forum granting stuff
But congrats
though you can generate bitly links as me
but don't
I think he will make a mini quiz like me because he plays on pc
i dont have those keys
No
they were hardcoded
ah
but yes
no need for diamonds
i can always print more by releasing another plugin
Can always change db entry
it's a practice
i guess i could get speed up time
How fast can I do something without breaking a database
it got lots of tables and records
i can imagine
well i cant
i know at my fathers work they use a crapton of views
to retain backwards compatability
Idk ask the plugin creator
TheoTown needs a theme setting or like a tool were we can copy and paste many things
Here my next project
I think it doesnt look fine at all but still going
What is it?
Edificio Alas, located in Buenos Aires
Looks very nice
Thanks ^^
How to make circuit using plugin

help. night lights aren't appearing
here's the entirety of the code:
[
{
"light":true,
"light switching":true,
"frames": [{"bmp":"furnitureindustrylights","handle y":-5}],
"smoke":[{"id":"$smoke03","x":21,"y":-29}],
"frames": {"bmp": "furnitureindustry.png"},
"width": 2,
"height": 2,
"id": "$furnitureindthe2600",
"level": "3",
"type": "industrial",
"author": "The26",
"workers": 59,
"draw ground": true
}
]
i've tried changing handle y but it didn't help
ok
is editing max patient count on hospital plugins allowed?
for private use you can do anything you want
I just edit plugin using es file Explorer
And old theotown plugin loads take almost 15 mins
Imagine waiting 15 mins then crash
Just because There is same .png name
no why
Ooh, Malaysia?
no
Hmmm...
he's turkish
because of my name, right?

He just quiting discord because of Dank memer
Theotown Helper bruh
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
A guy with mexican caps/theotown city profile pic
I have too much memories in this game
i have no idea how to use the animation dev tool
how the hell does one insert the building frames
when I open vs
press 1 then press 2 and insert building id then press 1 again to change to night anim mode again
black is for anim id place
Honestly adding random numbers is easier to me
i still don't get it
I learnt it by pressing every button
oh hold up
once you learn it is super easy, now I am making my own custom night anims
i found this but now how the hell do i make it so i'm able to apply
this is for animated floors
I can live stream for you
1 sec opening the game
screw this just livestream it
ah
the importing the building part
oh
come voice chat if you wanna know
one sec I forgor
rtobby now first step placing the building
second step placing the anight animations
@midnight obsidian see but my pc is kinda laggy you might notice it
thats it
probably you didn't get anything because of my poor pc and no mic explanation
i found out that you have to specify the id so that you could use your own light frames
ah yep
ok crap
so
how do i put in the code from the dev tool
into my code
@uneven plover help
where do i put the code in the code
press the copy button in the topleft corner
i did that
There is a plugin maker app? I remember someone make it on 2018/2019
An easier way to create plugins via friendly UI interface.
When is the last update?
Is it safe because he probably never update it?
so after copying the code, where do i put it
so the output was ```json
{"id": "$furnitureindlightsthe2600", "x": 1, "y": -15}
[
{
"frames": [
{
"bmp": "furnitureindustrylights.png",
"handle x": 1,
"handle y": 7
}
],
"id": "$furnitureindlightsthe2600",
"type": "animation"
},
{
"smoke":[{"id":"$smoke03","x":21,"y":-27}],
"frames": {"bmp": "furnitureindustry.png"},
"width": 2,
"height": 2,
"id": "$furnitureindthe2600",
"level": "3",
"type": "industrial",
"author": "The26",
"workers": 59,
"draw ground": true
}
]
``` where do i put it in this code
i still have yet to add in the pollution and noise influences so don't mind that
[
{
//...
"author": "The26",
"workers": 59,
"draw ground": true,
"animation":[
//for example here
]
}
thanks
sorry rtobby I was looking at something
no worries
you're welcome π
kulche helped me figure it out
ok hold up.
where does ```json
"light":true,
"light switching":true
to animation code
so is it like json [ { //... "author": "The26", "workers": 59, "draw ground": true, "light":true, "light switching":true, "animation":[{"id": "$furnitureindlightsthe2600", "x": 1, "y": -15}] } ]?
no
light and switching goes into animation definition
animation array goes into building's object
[
{
"frames": [
{
"bmp": "furnitureindustrylights.png",
"handle x": 1,
"handle y": 7
}
],
"id": "$furnitureindlightsthe2600",
"type": "animation"
},
//...
]
somewhere here?
yes
pog
ait
and i'll make the glow a bit softer
the glow at the bottom looks nicer when it's not rough
which smoke would you recommend me to use
i think $smoke06 would be good
m
$smoke05***
lovely
it's modulable
they look nice together
looks like an image from internet but okay
Woe
Took for ever for me for the image to load..
Agreed
i'll also have different versions with different colors or different patterns
although other colors will only have this pattern
or just no pattern
ukraine factory π³
Yea and them made it a bit pixel
@rain gate rate my ukraine factory
10/10 very ukraine
πΊπ¦
nice
parking lots looks similar to your csl apartments
Nice
ye
thanks
Gotta make plug-in again
so i made this industry chain, can't wait till i learn lua to make this industry chain in theotown
wood directly going to customer? Maybe make a charcoal factory too
wood for firewood and stuff
maybe a charcoal factory
a crude way of making charcoal, make an open warehouse and imagine those are inside
or something like this, I am not sure but this is probably a charcoal factory too but modern
what i'm planning to make:
paper factory
warehouses that store goods if the supply isn't met by the demand and that could also sell goods directly to residents*
charcoal factory (i do like the idea but i'm not very sure how i can make it)
*i'll do that supply/demand system once i learn lua
supply demand system .o. I think this one is way too hard idk
like dsa rocket readiness
instead I was thinking to use car spawn and reached
but I couldnt handle it soo I went using count π
cyberpunk plugin returning?!
that's because i removed half of frames but didn't change cords (almost intentionally)
i decided to check out an .mpf file from the plugin store and i found this in the beginning of the file
lol
lol
I forgor how mcdonaldses look
not this guy again
so did anthony got banned from plugin store posting?
just making his plugin disappear from plugin store would make the beast more mad
what i hate about designer anthony is that he never improves, even from all of the criticism we give
and then he complains that his plugins aren't approved
here's an example of designer anthony just refusing to improve
chad
I think bringing up racism should be his final mistake
example number 2

that's what we started from
Lol but i guess i'll delete it
That url
Wow, 13
PHP moment
suspended terms: designer anthony
Yet all from Anthony lol
he has disapproved blogs
disapproved terms: designer anthony
3 series
i usually just don't bother with rotation frames
how do you even think of placing shadows like that
kulche
this one is wrong direction, and has a shadow from nothing on roof
its the clouds
||π¦||
everyone gangsta till the cloud is a solid concrete block π³
why php fault
sounds like a better query system than discord
Is it me or are these Windows too small compare to Normal TT buildings?
i'll be studying paper mills now
he is from kepler 7b
because i'll make a paper mill for the industrial pack
Nice
this isn't his worst problem
from the small amount of the research i've gathered so far, i know that i'll need to make 2 chimneys
or well
that's you being racist towards windows, he is right, bi#sed
at least 2 chimneys
some silos
it's gonna be either 4x4 or 5x5
or maybe bigger
ok let's say 5x5 or 6x6
adding vexor's stuff
some of planned features will be denied in first version of modular build megapack
I am going to release it sooner but I need to add a bit stuff and change old ones
then I will release it
I hope it's not that bad to have it for 35 or 40 diamonds because making it was pain
Good plan
my plan
all walls
don't mind the naming hehe
@midnight obsidian rate my fence pack
technically each numbered category has some walls
hm
is this c and c or smth
9/10, could use some more interesting shapes
37 total in one category
ooh
70 categories total
an idea just popped up in my head
you can also use the goods to speed up the construction of buildings
2590/43
I am the true fence king
i am the true true fence king
you're just a wall king
you're a walking wall king
yes
I have somewhere around 2664 objects in my plugin
not counting anims
and some other stuff
:(
@uneven plover@midnight obsidian
ok then
well then you dont have a modular building maker
oh no
it is just a fence plugin
oh no
but
what should I choose
i am the king of the fence category
be da best modular building plugin
or have more fences than rtobby
okay i surrender
you don
you don't have mcdonalds roof
gotta make mcdonalds fence before you make that
oh wait
i have mcdonalds fence!
don't mind this
maybe I'll make it in august
at least give a try
the shape is complex
but I would like to try
Exponential curves 
yes
when the tiki torches don't glow at night π³
Its a pipe?
Try making the other side darker and the other side bringer
looks like a building design taken from the game megapolis
about that
Also, try add a blue and purple color if you want
blue pipe?
bruh
amogus
Nvm
what if I model this in 3d then render in isometric and pixelate to get basic shape
wait
I can't 3d model curves either
It would look like a industrial pipe if it look like metalic
hm
I may add pipes soon
honestly I am now trying to finish it as fast as possible
i don't know. But this render has been released for 2 years
yes, it is very hard to create the curves
I thought of making community pack soon with assets from different people but I am not sure someone will participate
?
