plugin-discussion

[fierce haven]

it's not

[uneven plover]

Then it will occupy 2x more space

[fierce haven]

its solution

[dapper sun]

Cool

[uneven plover]

ians tool and custom night anims but it will take time for 150 buildings

[dapper sun]

when would you get on?

[uneven plover]

It would take soo much time

I would say he should release the plugins and then make the night animations smaller with updates

[sharp kettle]

Ill try to add a night anim to 4x4 TTT house

[uneven plover]

Now 8a684 skyscraper has 84 rating 😔

When I upvote it, doesnt changes

When I downvote it, It drops 2 percent

Soo is this the reason? Feeling the power of changing rates

[frail monolith]

🤔

[uneven plover]

Whenever I test this, downvote reduce and upvote wont 😔

[frail monolith]

Oof 😔

[dapper sun]

Ohhhh yes

that would be a good idea, I'm excited for them to come out

[rain gate]

what is fking wrong with this roof

i just can't figure out how to make it look normal

[uneven plover]

Just add some pixel chaos there and your fault is hidden, at least thats what I do sometimes

[unique pivot]

Finally good comments

[rain gate]

hmm

still looks bad

[uneven plover]

I see no problem :thinking:

[unique pivot]

Bruh

Too much noise

[uneven plover]

Yeah

[unique pivot]

Also make that small middle part darker

[unique pivot]

This is good

But yeah

Needs a bit of random pixel chaos

[uneven plover]

I mean pixel chaos just at that line of the roof, like something you might call it "shades" and get away with it

[unique pivot]

Check out the roofs in modular build pack

I mean I am serious

Not a promotion

I just can't screenshot now

It has the part of exact same shape

And chipper helped with it

So it's good

Alright it's not as I thought

But still

[rain gate]

hmmmmmmm

[unique pivot]

Make it darker

The middle part

I mean the triangle

Triangle 📐

[rain gate]

yeah i ll do it

wtf

[unique pivot]

Lol

Pgetemoji

Pemoji

[agile forum]

Please specify a custom emoji you want to extract.

[uneven plover]

Bottom left and bottom right faces kinda look the same

[unique pivot]

Pemoji

[agile forum]

Please specify a custom emoji you want to extract.

[unique pivot]

@rain gate can you do this to me? :3

For me*

[rain gate]

[uneven plover]

[uneven plover]

Wats happening

[uneven plover]

Simon wants this

[livid agate]

Jget-emojis

[pine plank]

:​triangle_rofl​:

[livid agate]

Čsimon

@unique pivot

[unique pivot]

Thanks

[rain gate]

i think it's kinda better now

[uneven plover]

yea

[livid agate]

cheese factory?

[uneven plover]

Wait

Cheese

I remember it

The colorful russian apartments?

[rain gate]

kinda

im trying to make smth like this house

[uneven plover]

I think u post them on forum

This is not I was talkin bout

[rain gate]

ah

then idk what did you mean

[uneven plover]

I want to search cheese on this channel to find it

Dam I found it, rockfort said cheese to this

[rain gate]

ah lol

[uneven plover]

For real one, imo small roof should be more triangle and bigger at the middle

And maybe red brick chimneys at the bottom left corner and upper right corner

[rain gate]

i tried to make those ledges seem as small as possible

and making "little roofs" more triangular will make them seem bigger i guess

[rain gate]

i'll add them soon

[uneven plover]

mhm

It will be nice with the chimneys

[versed pike]

Wow looks beautifull

[glass harbor]

It kinda reminds me of a beach house because of the colors

[uneven plover]

Yep

Same

[rain gate]

three colors now

[uneven plover]

Nice

You can use color code and make more colors without using space

[dapper sun]

10/10

[slender briar]

shading and texturing could do a bit of work but overal decent

[rain gate]

houses in game

[versed pike]

San Telmo Pack

[uneven plover]

How many builds so far

[versed pike]

i thinki i will include 6 buildings in the pack

with this will be 4 for now

[uneven plover]

Soo 5 diamonds for each building

[versed pike]

it would be injust for other plugins creators if i put it only at 30 diamonds?

[uneven plover]

I am going to be honest

No lol

[frail monolith]

The building looks like a Cairo apartment lol

[uneven plover]

It is up to author's likings how he wants to release rather than getting himself in trouble trying to make users feel better

Soo art for author

Not art for community

Or some stuff like this I am not good at literature

[feral marsh]

WIP

[versed pike]

Looks good

Which building is?

[versed pike]

Some old buildings from Cairo looks like the Buenos Aires ones

[fierce haven]

only 2 more people

Some of the participants have problems with feedback due to jet lag

[uneven plover]

Have you tried kyo or nasus?

[uneven plover]

I am pissed rn

Who the f downvoting

Looking at the comments and they are all good, atleast say the reason you gave downvote for

While plugins like this having 100 ratings

[urban grove]

....

That met life building look okay ish

[uneven plover]

comparing it with the glass building, it is just flat base and roof with copy paste floors

I also noticed that now, shadows are wrong

[versed pike]

Honestly that met life building is bad

[frail monolith]

The plaza looks plain, the roof is Bland & the floor has no texture

[versed pike]

I dont know why, but the plugin for me dont work, and another user make a coment about that on the commenta box, the first day i used the plugin it worked, but something was broken for some reason

[uneven plover]

also its bottom is not like that afaik

in real life

[uneven plover]

which one?

glass building? I tried it, it was working

[versed pike]

Yesterday worked, but today i open the game and was broken

[uneven plover]

hmm

strange

it might be the same case with my and kekman's skyscrapers tho but havent seen any comments reporting errors

[versed pike]

Yeah

Also i will remake my bankboston tower

I will make it taller (the number of floors will be the same obviusly, but i will make them 1 or 2 pixels taller) and will make a better base

I dont know if i should do the floors with 6 or 7 pixels of height

[uneven plover]

6 pixels is 4 meters

around 4

[versed pike]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b7/Bkb_tower_15-11-2005.jpg

[versed pike]

Yeah, i generally use 5 pixels for residential buildings

[uneven plover]

you gotta try add shades on it like the glass building?

[versed pike]

Mmm i will think

Mmm the image that i send is visible?

[uneven plover]

yea

[versed pike]

7 pixels is good or too tall?

[uneven plover]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lol

[fierce haven]

The square and the bottom of the building are very unnatural

[versed pike]

Is bad quality, need more work

[uneven plover]

too much pixel chaos at the bottom, he probably wanted to hide its shape

irl it doesnt have a base like that tho

[versed pike]

Well i hope he learn and update his quality, i dont know if is his first plugin

[uneven plover]

yeah

it is not, his last plugin is one world trade center

[versed pike]

Also you are making a plugin rn?

[uneven plover]

I am making a small thing just to pass time

[unique pivot]

Good morning guys

[versed pike]

What thing?

[versed pike]

Good morning

[uneven plover]

good morning

little apartment like danekbel style

[unique pivot]

It feels so good when you write something complex and it works

[versed pike]

What is danekbel style?

[versed pike]

Really yes

[uneven plover]

I didnt made really complex stuff but it felt good when I made a lua code work for first time

[unique pivot]

Well not really complex

[uneven plover]

like this @versed pike

[unique pivot]

But I made lua code which uses given words as material for generation

Using dictionary

To store usual letters connections idk how to say it

As example

If you give it "abac"

It will have

"a":{"b","c"}
"b":{"a"}
"c":{"idk probably nothing"}

So it picks up random letter, gets random letter for this key

And does it several times

[urban grove]

The glass realistic building plugin is error?

[uneven plover]

not for me

yet

[urban grove]

Well for me is error :/

[uneven plover]

oh wow

what it says

[unique pivot]

And that looks better than simply stacking random letters

The code isn't actually that hard but I forgor a lot of stuff in lua

And I had to spend some time

When I upload the plugin I'll write about it so everyone knows how smart of a coder am I 😎

[versed pike]

That is very hard for me lol

Well, i have to go

Good nights guys

[unique pivot]

I just woke up

Wait wrong letters

Well good night

[livid agate]

attach a link to your cv

[urban grove]

I wish there is more aquarium plugin or aquatic park

[unique pivot]

What is cv

[uneven plover]

same, I didn't even experience coding. It is hard for me to use excel lol

[unique pivot]

I can't call myself a real coder

[livid agate]

excel isn't even an intuitive application

[unique pivot]

Also I even forgot how to get if condition to work in lua

[uneven plover]

what

I dont understand those

[unique pivot]

(I messed up then and do, or something)

[uneven plover]

lol

[winged summit]

new

[uneven plover]

nice

[livid agate]

m$ft office

[frail monolith]

Nice, the 3rd looks like a Shibuya shop building

[slender briar]

Theyre ok but lack shading on windows ,gove the windows some life and also work on texture a bit

[winged summit]

minor changes

I worked on the texture

[slender briar]

way better

i like it

[frail monolith]

Nice

[uneven plover]

it looks the same to me

[winged summit]

I will add some contrast

[slender briar]

windows slightly shaded more

[uneven plover]

oh okay

[rain gate]

diagonal frames are hell

[uneven plover]

I swear I was thinking to make it too but this is not how it gonna work tho

lol

you need 2 triangle shaped

actually more, soo situation gets deeper

something like this but afaik he is using 3x3 template

wait a minute

I understood but this makes diagonal buildings 2d

🤔

like this

but then they will have ugly counter parts

which are useless

[steady harness]

Yeah i know right

[unique pivot]

lol

[uneven plover]

I think them as thin paper for a sec and cant get rid of that thought anymore

[steady harness]

Btw
The corner buildings are the hardest
Espicially the one down on the pic

[rain gate]

and i would need to make all those half-angle frames same as you did😩

[rain gate]

i'm gonna cry

[uneven plover]

oh wow there are more

[rain gate]

[uneven plover]

are they 2x2?

[steady harness]

Yeah if you know my first diagonal house plugin
These are based on them and on an ingame building

Yes

Which is even harder i think

[steady harness]

If you need help
Like the files
You can ask me

[rain gate]

yeah it would be really helpful 🙏

[uneven plover]

@rain gate you gotta go for corner parts too?

[steady harness]

Mhm how can i send zip files here?

[rain gate]

yeah but with other building

[uneven plover]

zip files

directly send it here

[rain gate]

i think the same as picture

[uneven plover]

or dm

yeah

I will try diagonal too but without corner pains

[steady harness]

They don't Show up weirdly

Here we go

[rain gate]

thank you a lot!

[uneven plover]

wait

oh okay

[rain gate]

im going to make this building (ik angle sucks)

[uneven plover]

lol

diagonal parts looks like how they are going to look like in theotown too

with spaces

[winged summit]

I didn't do anything with the windows :-I

pls first or second

[uneven plover]

I would say first

[winged summit]

ok thank u!

[uneven plover]

no problem

[slender briar]

Huh idk man theres a slight chmage but i didnt loon too close

[rain gate]

hmm

[uneven plover]

oh wow

it kinda works for

red ones

still cant get used to yellow one

[rain gate]

i think i'll change the color a bit

[uneven plover]

yellow is good, I mean the diagonal shape of it

[urban grove]

Look a bit weird :/

[uneven plover]

but there isnt any other solution soo

I have this parts

should I put graffiti art or leave it like that

in csl mod, it is empty but this idea come to my mind

[rain gate]

i think it's fine as it is now

[uneven plover]

mhm

[rain gate]

but you can make a graffiti as an animation

and it would randomly appear

[uneven plover]

ah

long story lol

[rain gate]

all the frames

idk looks not so bad

[uneven plover]

looks cute

seeing them like this feels better

its kinda sad those empty areas of diagonal parts

can you put diagonal roads to it, I wanna see that @rain gate

[uneven plover]

very nice

I am wondering if the empty areas can be designed too

[rain gate]

even nicer with trees

[uneven plover]

with some more counter parts

yep

it just feels strange

am I doing wrong?

na I gave up lol

[golden escarp]

No, its normal for it to happen. Have you seen diagonal roads?

[uneven plover]

yea

it looks like it has flat roof tho

[rain gate]

diagonal stuff in isometric projection is so weird

[glass harbor]

Ye

Like Diagonal roads look smaller than the actual road

Just the Illusion

[unique pivot]

maybe I should make more diagonal stuff in modular build

damn, CAS has 40 ratings

that's more than in other plugins of mine

[rain gate]

soviet pack has over 100 rates😳

[unique pivot]

nice

my stuff aren't that popular

[rain gate]

my prehistoric train plugin has 200

wtf

[unique pivot]

that's good

I guess

[rain gate]

that smile tho

[uneven plover]

I did the diagonal stuff

they look very strange

left to right one looks like warehouses

and other is too thin 😔

[golden escarp]

Make it THICC

[uneven plover]

but if I make it thicc it becomes shorter

[rain gate]

yeah

[uneven plover]

thats the rules

[rain gate]

just a bit

[uneven plover]

I used that thiccness for that wall segment

I think I wont make diagonal

[uneven plover]

needs something like this

all 16 buildings

I want to publish it with some relatable bonus stuff to it but I can actually try to make the courtyard apartment I made some weeks ago

[unique pivot]

Hot

[uneven plover]

this ugly thing I made when I was going to mountain

[uneven plover]

thank you sir

[fierce haven]

looking for a tester

If you would like to do so, please DM me personally.

[uneven plover]

are nasus and kyo testing?

[fierce haven]

I saved 4 people, but all of them don't match the time difference

[unique pivot]

I can, but I'm from phone now

[fierce haven]

yes

[uneven plover]

I only have 2gb ram computer

[unique pivot]

For these japanese buildings?

[unique pivot]

laughs in 12GB ram

[fierce haven]

yes

[unique pivot]

but no good graphics card gosh I want a good pc so bad

[fierce haven]

I don't have good specs either.. only 18GB...

[rain gate]

cries in 8gb

[frail monolith]

laughs in 64 GB

[uneven plover]

wow very bad computers

[frail monolith]

By mobile of course

[unique pivot]

Can someone buy me a gaming PC

I'll give you cyberpunk plugin

[golden escarp]

Confused in phone

[sharp dawn]

@uneven plover your modular building reminds me of this building i made some time ago

Not same but similar

[fierce haven]

maybe Mansour

[rain gate]

they're indeed pretty similar

[uneven plover]

your is og san andreas building

this is the cls mod I looked up

[sharp dawn]

Yeah lol
But your version is great too

[fierce haven]

I think the two works have individuality to each other.

[uneven plover]

thanks yours too

there is also another courtyard building

[frail monolith]

They kinda look like Dutch-Like Rowhouses

[uneven plover]

my pc is struggling to open a new tab right now

[unique pivot]

Hm I think I'll take a break from programming

[uneven plover]

I want to show that building too

[unique pivot]

And draw tol buildeng

[uneven plover]

@sharp dawn those buildings, back then I wanted to make them with mobile painting but I failed

from same mod author

[sharp dawn]

Oh yes , definitly doable

[uneven plover]

his workshop https://steamcommunity.com/id/kingleno/myworkshopfiles/?p=1&numperpage=30

[sharp dawn]

Ah nice , tons of US stuff

I like this house

[uneven plover]

yeah very america

idk when I will make something from my country lol

[sharp dawn]

Maybe something from the city next to the massives wildfires ( don't remember the name , sorry )

[rain gate]

Antalya?

[uneven plover]

Most of places are on fire now

But generally mediterrean coasts

[rain gate]

:(

[frail monolith]

:(

[steady harness]

Lol so many diagonal buildings now

Did i started a new hype?

[storm raft]

@uneven plover it is actually perfect already

[uneven plover]

Diagonals?

[uneven plover]

Yeah

[glass harbor]

Someone should start marking some more American suburban houses

[uneven plover]

Oh wow

Pixelbits arent enough?

[glass harbor]

Those are neighborhood houses like regular city houses

I don’t know how to explain it

[uneven plover]

Oh

Soo you want urban

This type of?

[glass harbor]

Yeah your not American

Those are suburban houses

[uneven plover]

Hm

I think there is someone

Doing what you want

[glass harbor]

Who is that?

[uneven plover]

He wants to keep it secret if I am not wrong but it is a really good plugin

[rain gate]

now three floors

[midnight obsidian]

first were flags, then came plane skins, then fences and now diagonal buildings

[rain gate]

what next

[midnight obsidian]

uhh

i hope it's industrial buildings

[rain gate]

nah they're boring

[midnight obsidian]

there's little to no industry in tt

[unique pivot]

so

death

😠

[steady harness]

Yeah true

And some commercial

[rain gate]

it would be nice if there would've been industrial districts as in csl

like the full production cycle etc

maybe it's possible with lua

[uneven plover]

well we talked aboıt this before weeks ago

[versed pike]

Looks nice

also hi guys

[rain gate]

one more item in theotown graphics pain list — corner roofs

[glass harbor]

Mhm

[unique pivot]

Are you making a modular house?

man I get flashbacks from you probably know what

[glass harbor]

Anthony

[midnight obsidian]

not anthony

[glass harbor]

Who then

[midnight obsidian]

from simon's modular build megapack!

[sharp kettle]

Anthony 🤔

[glass harbor]

Man good thing he’s gone

[midnight obsidian]

which anthony? anthony sullivan?

[sharp kettle]

No?

[midnight obsidian]

[glass harbor]

Wait what

[sharp kettle]

Im pretty sure hes still roaming around the forum

[midnight obsidian]

he's active on the forums

[glass harbor]

Wel yeah but

[midnight obsidian]

ignoring advice and refusing to improve

[glass harbor]

He can’t post nothing right?

[glass harbor]

He’s only in on it for diamonds

[midnight obsidian]

he's banned from uploading to the plugin store

[glass harbor]

AHHhH

Well good

[sharp kettle]

👏

[rain gate]

kinda

[rain gate]

lol

[glass harbor]

He’s such an ass hole

Like

He can’t take criticism and improve

[unique pivot]

Acted so sorry after he got banned

[glass harbor]

LoL

[unique pivot]

But now back to his style again

[glass harbor]

Mhm

I would make a plug-in but

I gotta learn

How to draw

[unique pivot]

Ok and

Learn

Ah

[glass harbor]

?

[unique pivot]

I meant it's not hard, don't be afraid to learn

But well if you never drew before

[glass harbor]

yeah but I hat software should I use

[unique pivot]

You may practice and check tutorials

[glass harbor]

Well I don’t have a pc

[unique pivot]

Any software which allows to draw in pixel sizes

[glass harbor]

I got a Chromebook

[glass harbor]

Alright

[unique pivot]

You can draw on phone too

Search up something for pixel art

[glass harbor]

I have that

[unique pivot]

And most importantly don't be like Anthony

[glass harbor]

lol yeah

All my buildings will Probably be

Big retail stores

Like Walmart and target

[rain gate]

finally

[glass harbor]

M nice

[rain gate]

but it's only 1/4

[glass harbor]

Your on a spree

Ima use pixly

I got the templates

[versed pike]

the case of designer anthony is sad, we would can have another good plugin creator if he wanted to improve his quality

[sharp dawn]

Sometimes people are too stubborn and refuses to listen

[versed pike]

the other day Designer Antohy uploaded this to the forum

https://forum.theotown.com/download/file.php?id=37815

[midnight obsidian]

shading issues

[versed pike]

and the plugin creator Carlao da Massa do this:

[midnight obsidian]

😩

[versed pike]

https://forum.theotown.com/download/file.php?id=37825

the difference is abismal

but still the floors are too low

[midnight obsidian]

working on a tutorial for shadows and shading, thoughts?

it's still not finished

just to let you know

and do you know any other common mistakes?

it's not exactly for designer anthony, just to let you know

[rain gate]

yeah it indeed would be very helpful

[versed pike]

I think here and there are a little error

[rain gate]

as some kind of cheatsheet

[sharp kettle]

I fell bad for simon plugin, it only get 1.5K downloads

[midnight obsidian]

hm?

feel free to tell me what it is

[versed pike]

Should be like this i think, but im not sure

I mean that little part of the shadow

[midnight obsidian]

ah

the shadows are kinda weird, i just put the shadows under dark parts as a habit, but thanks for telling me!

[versed pike]

np, that tutorial is very helpfull for new people

[midnight obsidian]

also will make some tutorials on depth and noise

[versed pike]

Ahhh i hate the moment when decided to do rotable versions of these buildings, interchanging the dark and light parts is boring

[unique pivot]

The shading isn't correct

[midnight obsidian]

where

[unique pivot]

I'm on phone now I'll reply tomorrow

[unique pivot]

But this

[unique pivot]

And this

[midnight obsidian]

what's wrong with the shading in there

[unique pivot]

You have unneeded pixels on bottom of shadow

[unique pivot]

Yeah that's sad... But maybe it'll catch up soon

And some people use it for their builds

So that's enough

[midnight obsidian]

yeah i removed those pixels

[unique pivot]

Oh

Okay

Good

[midnight obsidian]

tutorial progress so far

[unique pivot]

Nice

[midnight obsidian]

idk if there's something else to add

[rain gate]

just simply name it part 1

and when you'll come up with something else

make a part 2

nice

[midnight obsidian]

an example of a "bad" plugin and a "good" plugin

[rain gate]

do we have diagonal pedestrian path?

[frail monolith]

Well by Decor yes, but by Road no

[rain gate]

decor?

what is that plugin

[frail monolith]

Diagonal tiles by Michaelbello

And theyre Rotation aware

[rain gate]

this?

[rain gate]

Ah, that houses from my pack are more based in working class neighborhoods.

Like these ones:

[frail monolith]

Well, i suppose it got Randomly removed. But it is a Diagonal tile plugin

[rain gate]

sad

hope it is still available on the forum

[frail monolith]

Hope so

[glass harbor]

Those look like San Francisco houses

[rain gate]

Yeah, and in Midwest USA too. Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Saint Louis and another ones.

[glass harbor]

Ohhh

Noice

You should make a shotgun house

[rain gate]

Like these ones? They are beautiful too.

[midnight obsidian]

they look cute

[rain gate]

Yes.

[midnight obsidian]

69 posts nice

[versed pike]

that houses are nice

[midnight obsidian]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&p=177566#p177566

[glass harbor]

Yeah

[rich birch]

This house looks like Gumball Watterson's house

[glass harbor]

Oh yeah

They live in a shotgun house

[lone cedar]

I’m always running out of variety for my suburbs/single family housing so it would be cool to see more of these

[glass harbor]

Yeah

[winged summit]

it reminds me of my hometown

[winged summit]

as always

[frail monolith]

Looks nice

[low loom]

I wish i had my own Pc so that i can make online trade for AoS with other players using Data base

[winged summit]

I tried to upload it to the store, pending approval

this is only the first version, in the future I will add more buildings. I post it as an experiment

[sharp kettle]

It will of course get aproved

If it didnt i will lose faith in humanity
(Accept if it cost 300 diamond)

[obsidian cairn]

cost 30

[winged summit]

can I make the price less than 30?

or free

[sharp kettle]

Its not possible

Lowest is 30

[winged summit]

ok

[versed pike]

Nice work!!

[winged summit]

i found mistake lol

as always

[versed pike]

Beautifull, what building is?

[feral marsh]

CENTREVILLE ASTERIUM Yongsan in South Korea

[frail monolith]

Nice

[uneven plover]

Oh wow, all 4 directions?

[midnight obsidian]

You could definitely use animations to stack floors for this one

[rain gate]

Uh

I have a problem in finding one plugin

[rich birch]

"Wow you have plugins by @fickle frigate .so great thank you :D "

[rich birch]

how can we make something like this?

[uneven plover]

It is easy

Just with function init and print

Lua

[winged summit]

you said easy

[rich birch]

hmmm it will be easy if i understand "LUA" 😅

[uneven plover]

I can just show you it here

I swear

[rich birch]

How ?

[uneven plover]

1 sec I forgot lua codes, gotta look its api

[rich birch]

Api ? ---> 🔥

[unique pivot]

lua?

oh

[uneven plover]

function script:init()
Debug.toast(welcome to the game)
end

@fickle frigate honestly that's not a good thing to make

imagine if every plugin said that

[rich birch]

"thank for use simon's plugin"
"Thanks for use yusuf's plugin"
"Thank for use that guy's plugin"
Etc

[uneven plover]

Just put this to your lua file. It is almıst the same as json just different coding

[rich birch]

I will try it

[uneven plover]

Lol they will overlap

[unique pivot]

actually it's better to not put such stuff

[uneven plover]

All text in the same line soo people cant read it anymore

If there are more of those

[winged summit]

can it also affect the loading of the game?

[rich birch]

does anyone know the json of this garbage collector car lamp??

[unique pivot]

it's closer to programming

and you can make some more complex and interesting stuff with lua

[uneven plover]

It should be in json resorces

[unique pivot]

json is (mostly) just passing parameters to building

lua is code that can be executed

and interact with game

[winged summit]

hard

[unique pivot]

as I said before, this code generates name of a city based on some letter combinations in real cities

advanced way of connecting random letters

[uneven plover]

"animation": [ { "id": "carlight_red", "pos": [0, 0, 0, 11, 13, 13, 0, 0], "frames": [1,2] }, { "id": "carlight_red", "pos": [0, 0, 4, 13 , 17, 11, 0, 0], "frames": [1,2] }, { "id": "carlight_yellow", "pos": [13, 12, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 11], "frames": [0,3] }, { "id": "carlight_yellow", "pos": [16, 11, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 12], "frames": [0,3] } ]

Try this

Dont forget to add comma

@rich birch

[rich birch]

Ok i will try it 👍🏼
Thank you everyone 🙏

thank you for helping me :)

[orchid sorrel]

will not work - "welcome to the game" is defined as a variable here, add 's around it

[signal lagoon]

as the name, use only for debuging.

[uneven plover]

I forgot a lot of things 😔

Oh wait yeah I forgot the '

[unique pivot]

man picking glass color for skyscrapers is hard for me

[fierce haven]

Successfully plug-in 60 out of 90

[sharp kettle]

Oh wow, thats some dope night anim

[rich birch]

wow the night mode is really good... not like me 😅

[low loom]

Omg my eyes feels like im coding in heaven

[unique pivot]

(btw I use normal IDE now)

[low loom]

That motivates me to die on programming

[unique pivot]

why

btw using ide feels so much better than coding in notepad

[low loom]

Have you tried coding using Microsoft word?

[midnight obsidian]

sounds fun

[low loom]

Yeah but some programmers used it

[midnight obsidian]

json is kinda similar to html as you're just assigning various tags

[unique pivot]

Yeah

[midnight obsidian]

i wonder

if you know how to make json files

would it be easier for you to learn js

i mean, it's in the name

javascript object notation

[low loom]

Isn't kind of hard?

[midnight obsidian]

hm

[low loom]

Probably if it used for websites

[livid agate]

JSON really is just a serialised JavaScript object

[chilly mango]

JSON is the easiest way to store JavaScript objects

Dang

[livid agate]

when I wake up, I wake up

[chilly mango]

Same

[rain gate]

is that random word generator?

[unique pivot]

Yes

(don't steal the code it's very important)

[rain gate]

sharing is caring :)

jk

[unique pivot]

No

[livid agate]

sounds inefficient

[unique pivot]

Yes

It's crappy

So don't steal

[rain gate]

still better than my markov chain code

[unique pivot]

(why is it inefficient tho it works)

[uneven plover]

Lol he deleted it

[rain gate]

meanwhile a new building

[rain gate]

xddd

i still have it opened in a browser tho

[uneven plover]

I have it downloaded

[livid agate]

looks good

[rain gate]

thx

[unique pivot]

Why

[livid agate]

I have it cached

[uneven plover]

I just downloaded it from our dms

[unique pivot]

Dnaj hejjsjdj

😡

Should've made the quality of image even worse

[rain gate]

xddddd

[unreal breach]

h

[uneven plover]

Then how would we say it is complex or not

[unique pivot]

it's colorful

[rain gate]

i was messing with paint.net

and I've found this weird thing

[uneven plover]

fluid physics

[rain gate]

xd

[uneven plover]

what is that tool tho

noise?

[rain gate]

median or smth like that

it's in noise menu

[uneven plover]

what is the usage of it

[rain gate]

idk

[uneven plover]

lol

[winged summit]

Hello again. I decided to draw another building, it is 210 meters high. Then how many pixels in height this building should be in the game. 210*5=1050?

[unique pivot]

well

3 pixels are 2 meters

[winged summit]

oh

[uneven plover]

who ping me

[winged summit]

thank you, for some reason I thought that I should multiply it by five

what if someone has already drawn a building before me and put it in the store?

[uneven plover]

i think there is no problem

which plugin are you talking about tho?

[uneven plover]

if it is a small easy to do plugin then not

[winged summit]

i want redraw this

[uneven plover]

do it then

but if you gotta use his texture you should ask him

[low loom]

Better and well detailed than the last

[uneven plover]

this is looking awesome

[low loom]

Thanks

[unique pivot]

looks awesome

what did you use? textures, right?

[uneven plover]

I didnt know we could paint guis too

[unique pivot]

huh

also

[low loom]

Custom icon and plotting

[unique pivot]

do you use dialog to draw gui on?

or what

[low loom]

Of course GUI

[rain gate]

wow

[unique pivot]

no I mean

what did you use as base to draw on?

root

oh

canvas

[low loom]

It's depend on its parent

[uneven plover]

wait

are you using drawings for gui stuff?

[low loom]

No

[uneven plover]

do you think if it is possible to close and open drawings with a button type of thing ingame? I heard drawing works once game loaded or city loaded and never else

[low loom]

Yes use script:update and make state variable how it will trigger

[uneven plover]

hm

I thought it needs a script to open and off script that contains drawings in it

[low loom]

local state = false
*user push the button

state = true

function script:update()
 if (state == true) then
 Drawing.drawImage(parameters)
Drawing.reset()
end
end

[chilly mango]

yeah just check whether it should be drawn or not

make sure to use the appropriate function

like script:drawCity

[unique pivot]

I thought of using canvas for gui

but

I didn't know how to add close button, blur the background and pause the game, etc.

I like dialog appearance but damn putting objects on them is pain

[low loom]

Oh i found one from my current project

[uneven plover]

@low loom are you taking testers?

[low loom]

Not

[uneven plover]

Aw

I saw akunbaru using your plugins tho

[unique pivot]

I want to something more complex and gameplay related

like industry stuff

but there are 2 people making these

and I got no ideas

I am thinking of using panels if I figure them out

[uneven plover]

There was an idea for dsa+ and some more I can sell you those if you want

[unique pivot]

don't tell anyone but I still didn't really figured out erksmit layouts tip

imma make war mod in theotown

I wonder if is it possible to make some kind of enemy bases on map

and different kinds of weapons/artillery you can research upgrade and buy to protect your city

it's not something for vanilla theotown but it's an interesting idea

if I ever make it I'll add kirovs

[uneven plover]

Kirov 😔

[unique pivot]

киров

it's very hard to make though

[chilly mango]

You should cache the city gamemode instead of getting it every frame

[uneven plover]

Rjordan is already making a war plugin

[unique pivot]

but it's probably possible

lol good

[uneven plover]

Look

[unique pivot]

when will it be done?

[uneven plover]

I will give ideas give me an hour

[rain gate]

i like how this house turned out

[livid agate]

looks good

Although

Side seems a bit too flag

flat

[rain gate]

yeah

i'll try to fix it now

[low loom]

Oh thanks for that

[low loom]

Ahh yes i take him sorry

[uneven plover]

:(

[uneven plover]

They kinda look like turkish apartments

[unique pivot]

They seem familiar

[unreal breach]

wait, wth

I can't say

ummm

[low loom]

Y?

[unreal breach]

I can't say S talin, wtf

[unique pivot]

I thought I had these just outside my window

Turns out mine are different

[low loom]

I really love this

[uneven plover]

I would like to test them too but I have 2gb ram

Pc

[unique pivot]

I can test I have gaming pc

[low loom]

I will but not for now , the copy that akunbaru had was outdated and different on what i spoiled lately

[unique pivot]

What's the plugin itself about btw? Producing and exporting materials?

[low loom]

City simulation from the old times?

[uneven plover]

With war stuff

[unique pivot]

War?

[uneven plover]

Yea

[unique pivot]

I'm interested

[uneven plover]

I saw some war video of it

[rain gate]

lol

but yeah, i'm making $talin-era buidlings

[unreal breach]

Yeah, $talinki

[rain gate]

lol

[unreal breach]

bruh

[uneven plover]

They look similar aint them

[rain gate]

public housing looks the same everywhere

[uneven plover]

Pvc balconies

[low loom]

Not really war, but it's looks like a tower defense for me, probably base defense

[rain gate]

this is already 2000's building, and yeah, i'm going to abuse that window and balcony layout more and more

[uneven plover]

Clash of clans 😳

[low loom]

Yeah and also kind of weird 'cause it only uses path find for the enemies

[stray flower]

funfair things

[versed pike]

No, that would take a lot of time xD

[unique pivot]

Is it hard to implement pathfinding in theotown or there is a premade/tutorial

[uneven plover]

I think kingtut made pathfinding

Without lua

[unique pivot]

Yeah but I'll probably need in lua

I am just curious

Because it appears very complex to me

[uneven plover]

I think it wont take long

It might be in kingtuts yt channel

Json fun codes and lua kinda similar aint them

[fierce haven]

A city made by beta testers with Japan Pack

[low loom]

But there's a problem with target building that is larger than 1x1

[uneven plover]

oh

so

getting x and y of a building only takes one tile of the building's coordinates

btw

we should have talked in #plugin-lua-and-fun

[low loom]

It still working but the AI are confused where should to go on how it executes the code for example 4x4 target building, AI checks for its target building id to find path but it is 4x4 so the neighborhood tile of he checked tile are still the same id

[uneven plover]

how did you bypass this

[low loom]

Still not

I'll keep on analyzing JA's tree cutter code so i can replace its fun by lua

[uneven plover]

but ja's cutter 1x1 like the trees 🤔

[low loom]

Yeah but it uses tables which tile would be the next to find, in that way it prevents the AI to make strange moves

[uneven plover]

@low loom can you explain what are the components in your plugin currently?

like star forts?

cannons

also does it open a new city tab for age of sails?

like dsa moon

[low loom]

That would be next

Im still in a doubt if i should make a "portal to old times" Or just like Danekbel's minesweeper before the city loads

[uneven plover]

portal to old times?

soo a portal building and you press on it

[low loom]

Probably

[uneven plover]

now

same I dont know if there should be portal or new city

do you have a discord server for age of sails?

[low loom]

Or gonna just add aos button on city creation menu

[uneven plover]

yeah thats much better

[low loom]

Deleted due to inactivity

[uneven plover]

sad

imo you should keep it atleast with 1 or 2 channels

cuz there will be lotta of players going to use the plugin

and with their questions

[low loom]

Will remake again soon

[uneven plover]

I hope TT will have more plugins like that

[low loom]

that will never take almost 2years to finish

[uneven plover]

maybe not too complex like yours

but more interactive plugins

[low loom]

I can help you regarding on your steel mill

[uneven plover]

thank you

also now I think danekbel might make it

first of all tho without textures I dont want to fill with hope

[low loom]

All you need is imagination

[uneven plover]

I am like those politicians who offers a lot but never does lol

[unique pivot]

That sounds like a nice plugin

[low loom]

Actually i procrastinate a lot with this plugin that's why it takes 2 years

[uneven plover]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/748830587892269076/872867777466232892/image0-38-1.png

[low loom]

Yeah this is why it's still not finish

[unique pivot]

Damn

[midnight obsidian]

can relate

[unique pivot]

This is so much like me

[steady harness]

Lol true

[low loom]

I can't stop thinking what are the other potential of this thing..

[uneven plover]

I have 11 files in my wip file

[low loom]

You should be focus on one at a time

[uneven plover]

also a fail file with random stuff

[low loom]

concern

[uneven plover]

it is looking at my trash pit

[unique pivot]

foow

food

[uneven plover]

poop

this all age of sail wow

whats your guess about release date

and will you publish it on forum

[low loom]

Just a directories but looks like a components of some ingame

[uneven plover]

yeah

[unique pivot]

@low loom by the way, does the panel/canvas you use have close button/autopause premade?

I mean the base of your GUI

[low loom]

ian uses GUI:getRoot() and addCanvas{} to make his own gui but me only uses GUI.createDialog{}

[versed pike]

4/6

[unique pivot]

Oh

Dialog

I tried using it too if you remember

But I had a problem with layouts

[uneven plover]

guys, #plugin-lua-and-fun

soo we wont flood peoples textures

[low loom]

But this is a discussion area... I guess

[unique pivot]

Okay

[uneven plover]

yep but #plugin-lua-and-fun is cooler lol

[rain gate]

Is anyone here working on any military plugins

[uneven plover]

I tried to add spot light night anim

is it good or should I remake

[low loom]

It's so damn procrastinating to make night anims

[rain gate]

Try to make the shadow fade into the darkness on the right side of the court

[uneven plover]

oh

oh

hmm

[orchid sorrel]

why would you add the dark parts to the night anim frame

[rain gate]

Other than that well done

[orchid sorrel]

unless that's just a testing layer

[uneven plover]

because it is a weak spotlight

[orchid sorrel]

can't argue with that

[uneven plover]

should I make it all light?

[orchid sorrel]

you don't add darkness to light frames

[low loom]

But i think it's just a layer

[uneven plover]

a

yeah I see

yep it is a layer

it looks like this

[orchid sorrel]

cursed

[uneven plover]

yea

[orchid sorrel]

it's cool

how does it look ingame?

[uneven plover]

thank you

[uneven plover]

like this?

[uneven plover]

I will test it

[rain gate]

Better

Looks good

[uneven plover]

yay

[low loom]

Whats the rgb values for ingame darkness

[uneven plover]

I use 140 dark layer

and 70 for building shadows

hey this gave me an idea for you

[low loom]

Ahmmmm..?

[uneven plover]

hm
