Might have an idea
This is the headquarter of the CMA CGM cargo company
Can be used for inspiration ig
okay I will try it for level 3
but the template is just 4x4, soo it will be kinda not scaled
Also idk about you but I like the level 3 one you did
thank you, but people found it weird soo 😔
we need 4x4
Because it wouldn't fit
dude
Credit to @sharp dawn for the crane
You used my crane , nice
Oh wait wrong chat
Yes
@uneven plover what if you merge your office with Thobby's one?
what
@uneven plover this one and..
The level 2 version of this
Nice, wish i had it tho lmao.
how tho
rockforts building is bigger and there isnt really space on it to add it
@uneven plover nvm then. I thought they are both 3x3
the one I made is 4x4
Oh
awesome
@unique pivot why glass fences dont have night anims
I thought it's weird as they're transparent
With usual glass walls you can imagine some rooms behind the windows
In transparent windows you can clearly see nothing much behind
aww bt then my station building will be dark now
Where would the light come from
at night
Uh
just add it no problem imo
not random
Yeah makes sense
There are a lot of tutorials on the forums, you should check them out!
All tutorials: https://forum.theotown.com/viewforum.php?f=41
Getting started: https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2965

Wish i had that building.

Now my brain is loading
If y’all want help with your plugin feel free to DM anytime I’m willing to help all new plugin creater
I put wit manifest and json
K
@fickle frigate it is possible to add night anim to helicopters but it is not possible to add night anims to ships I guess
Show your code
oh i will try
???
Oh you mean school
I can help you later, im not at the PC now
Own school
Show it
Think he need code for school
Idk
pls ITS STILL ERROR
Did you try to install a plugin and it's saying there's a problem?
I will help you
let me see a thing before
i dont know exactly how to code a school plugin xD
what is the size of the lot? @rain gate
2x2 tiles
Send me the png
ah, i forget
you can use this
An easier way to create plugins via friendly UI interface.
Hey @rain gate may I see school plugin you made pls
Here Ricky.
You should update ur discord app
Who
good
You need help?
what you need to fix or change? @rain gate
mmm
i dont understand what hapenning there
i hope someone who know how to create school plugin answer
He typed the wrong category
Cuz well you know you don't get them out of nowhere
that category are in the plugin creator i think
so in this case aparently the plugin creator is wrong
Can I work on your plugin little bit dude
Plz
:(
In meantime go to forum n read about code of category
Theo town website?
Superme prosecutor's office and seocho police office at seocho,Seoul
good
First image looking kinda sus 😳
Well those r example
Red mean wrong way to make windows n green mean right way to make windows
I thought the same😳

But jokes aside, that is a good guide for new plugin creators
I think is pure coincidence xD
This is the Seosan Office of Statistics Chungcheongnam-do and is one of the administrative agencies of Seosan City. It will be distributed tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Oh, for your information, Seosan is in South Korea.
Looks clean
Cool
Any plugin creator here got time to help me right quick
Help me to help this person to explain something
Pls
Need you explain something to this new guy
this does not help at all
Lol
.
Need you explain how plugin work to this guy
Pls
Explain how everything have to be drawn
I'm not sure what would I have to explain here
I told him what's the problem with his json
Not that
Trying make him understand that everything have to be drawn
He having trouble with how to make roof
that's why we have several tutorials on forums
Thats why nobody is searching on the forum
explaining the whole concept of graphic design on discord is not a good idea I guess
Well he say it to hard
I can help with some smaller things but it takes time
he will just ask when he needs help?
also, I should probably wait for him to go online first 
@rain gate do you need any help with your plugin?
Yep
what exactly?
"basics" is pretty a large term
I would recommend taking a look on the documentation, as basic plugins are pretty much copy pasting stuff from the forums
Well I finish one hardest thing
I'll be glad to answer any questions anyway
"Roof"
Do you plan on making big school or small one
I recommend drawing a line from the middle of the roof to your desired height, connecting the corners with the end of the line and copying it to the other sidr
e
Okay
Ok
Already
I'm not sure what changed here
The middle of the roof
I can see that, and that was not nice
it's not any better than before
try doing what I told you before
the colors are too bright too
unless they are just for the structure look, and you are going to texture it
Are you say "not nice"
uhm
U got shape right
Thank
Now you need to come up with exactly ideas to do next
Like how you want it too look
This where details come in at
Do exactly they tell to do n you have good plugin
School
I mean design
can someone tell me about a plug in which is like a military wall? I need it for a region I am doing which is based off the game papers please
Can't you use DSA walls
If its for plugins i reccommend ImranM's Air force pack.
I hate my life
@fickle frigate the one I see on TV was looking like this but it was bigger and next to a railyard. Also I made this really back then, it looks bad
Good progress
@keen helm heyy matee this is just a suggestion about one of yout stations. Feel free to decline if your not intrested
Can you add a dome type in one of your station just like in the tokyo station?
Like this one?
Can someone add border based plugins like electric fences?
Get the Fence pack.
More Fences?
Yep the one with the most downloads.
k
Thank you
Same
Just ask to @lilac shuttle
also what are you making this time? @rain gate
Colors looks soo bright
Idk but it secret
also remember this for scale
generally residential floors are 5 pixels tall
and office ones are 6 or 7 pixels tall
if you make them with more or less pixels the building will look out of scale compared to the others in game
Finally getting back to work here, and working on the second block of the Shinjuku Park Tower
looks really nice
Looks good
Wow
Nice
Yep
ruissa
rusisa
thought u were making east german stuff
i made some
very nice but why outline on roof
yep
ah
Very nice. Tho some noise would be cool
looks like danek build 😳 jk
it does
u just do not see it because of quality
in game buildings looks always a little bit noisier
I see
San Francisco Street Car
I think it can have better stops
Yeah, new stops will come at some point.
Looks like a food caravan on rails
epic
Heyya guys dont know where proper channel to ask but
Is there any solution to this
I cannot access anymore the theotown folder in my phone due to the update of andriod 11
Is there anyway to acess the plugin folder?
Does that mean i can choose what type of decal is going to be under the building?
@golden escarp (well you still can do that with his buildings)
next step, Las Vegas Monorail
I guess only with computer over MTP
Sup creator
"Sup Simple Simon"
why simple
(The Eric Andre Show)
This maybe 24×24 with 3 modul maybe
Nice
Hell yeah
Nice
Las Vegas Monorail
Monorail leaving an elevated station
Also compatible with suspended monorail tracks
makes the rail networks much more customisable.
Beautiful
schwebebahn
the schwebebahn is already added @midnight obsidian
nice
is the schwebebahn released though
not yet, it will be though.
@keen helm add РЖД!!!!1!1!1!1!1!!1!1!1
what ?
I'll keep it in mind for later
LMS Stanier class 8F steam locomotive
Bri'ish steam train
Nice
O nice
Ohh
I think there are more liveries coming to it
BRI'ISH TRAIN
3 new freight trains are coming
Ultimate Bri'ish trains expansion.
Ohh nice
harry potter
I wish that TheoTown could update its trains system
Because trains never cross an street
They always
Turn
And do other word things
Weird
yes, it is same for all cars
if only designer anthony was here and listened to our advice
I made this tram I saw on yt
I saw that video too 😃
the video footages of the tram was feeling good
New freight train
Ohh nice
Wooo
Nice work
Finally the Themax train has started to be equipped
👏
Can I suggest that we can build (big) train stations automatically without building them one by one
Nicee
Look kinda weird (the color) but everything else look cool
wow, very good
Not possible, compositions dont support rotation aware road decorations.
I like the dark grey one than the rest bc well the rest look (for me) way too bright
And the dark grey one has shadows
Oh I see ok
Noice
No it does, I think desolan used compotions too
(The thing is that for the slope, it only support 2 rotations, not 4)
wdym slope?
why not? built-in stations are used composition.
Strip mall anyone?
Looks like a very small walmart.
Begun working on the 2 last trains before the update
(2 tramways)
then, I'll finish the train stations and release
Very nice, finally!
Can you also include other way facing?
Big boi strip mall
There are 11 variants of this one strip mall
All have 2 rotatable frames so far; planning for 4 frames in the future
Nice
Broooo
Nicerreee
You should make retail stores
Next
Like Walmart
Hope depot
Lowes
etc
you would have to use offbrand names because of copyright
Yeah
Nice
ceilingmart
DoorMart?
Floormart lol
Canal side restaurants with dock 🤔
Italian vibes 🤔
Jalmart
Carpetmart
Fun fact: I made dozens of branded stores in a private plugin. I haven't touched it in a while, but even if I finish it, I plan to keep it private.
Like Walmart, Target, Kroger, etc.
That's all in there
Dam
Could I see what it looks like
To bad it isn’t public
Because those would come handy
Yea
But I might reuse some of the building and remove the brands and use them here.
Why private? 
Copyright issues
Wel
I see
When I used rob lox studio
I made
Pffbramd stires
Offbramd
Sorry
Off brand stores
Like jalmart
Boldpoint
Worstbuy
Money tree
I dont understand something, why cities skylines plugins can use copyrighted things and we no?
General dollar
That’s weird
same, I asked this before and erksmit said it is not cities:skylines community problem but steam
actually good questio
nice
Sounds good
I started it but then
It failed
Lost motivation
And then my skills got better
Anyways
Nothing lmao
totaly no problem
Didn't think so
especially considering I've seen IKEAs in public maps
so
So anyways
planning a rather-large commercial building plugin
Ohh
The strip mall is a part of it
The plugin is meant to include strip malls, restaurants, gas stations, big-box retailers, and more
I just started it today
Hmm why?
Like on the strip mall
The parking lot is only planned for the strip mall and outparcels
The big-box retailers won't be included with it but yeah
Alr
K
I MEAN, the big-box retailers won't have the parking lots included with it
There we go
Yeah u said that
No I said "the big-box retailers won't be included"
Like they won't be in the plugin lol
Ye
soviet power ktm5 tram
and ktm5s with double
@rain gate you want ukrain livery one?
nvm they look same, thought there were one with yellow and blue
looks so soviet
okay soviet approved
will you make contact wires above?
sounds hard to me
but I dont want it like trolley plugin, I wish there were 16 frame road decos soo you just build it on road like a road
i remember there was some thing
it behaves like deco
but it can be built with the road instantly
same but doesnt it does that to all road tiles, then it looks like soo many pile of poles
with no gap
make poles on the corners and the end only
oh wait
hm
i think it might look fine if I make the pole stick out at the middle of rails
ah then I cant use your tutorial
I will try
too hard
@rain gate just concept drawing
I didnt code them
they look like this lol
kinda like cable car
soo putting the poles at middle looks fine, I just find coding it hard. I dont know how to place anims at middle and make it act like it is at middle. I saw some road deco plugin doing that tho
Are the poles automaticly placed or is there a wire with a pole and that wire without the pole?
Hi everyone I'm trying to build a Vietnamese ship
Which looks like this... What do you think?
Looks amazing
Thank you
Final 2 frames finished for every variant of the strip mall and cars added
whoever made this plugin, i have one question, who is this?
lol
Lmao
That’s hot
What this plugin exactly do? @uneven plover
added new types of zones such as European home zone, urban shop zone, city factory zone and others
Starting a department store. Here's the base of it. Gonna add details later.
im doing the Shinjuku Tower too slow, i hope i have a significative progress today
Nice work
Anyone know of any good plugins with Japanese traditional style houses
There aren't many
This is pretty neat
Thanks!
blurry on the left side again wth
that's not the plugin thats the picture
it's Discord
Discord being Discord and always messing up pictures 
Should I keep that hanger logo or should I change it? Or improve it, though idk how 
No
The logo looks good, i think you can add letters to it, below the logo
Whats that uh you know corporation government building that kets you have the cooling towers?
looks nice
thanks
putting fonal details rn
final*
well
at least for the sides
the roof isn't decided yet
i recommend you adding some depth on the windows and doors
what is your name in plugin store?
AngelPandaEarth
like literally everywhere else xd
Design as of now
Potentially final for this plugin version
is final or still you want to add some decoration?
I'ma say final for now
Three
hm
I might reuse a building from my private store brands plugin now
for a grocery store
Make some adjustments ofc
Need details on the roof
try make the wires gay

Having hard time to turn this ford explorer roads into roads in the theotown plugin
Aswell as making the making JP ford explorers
It builds with road
Dude it is just testing, idk how to code it
It adds new zones but it is kinda buggy
Need help finding the one way diagonal roads

I recommend adding texture to it.
to what?
the roof?
it has those unit things and a little bit of noise
the outside walls
those have noise as well
not exactly
nvm
Almost forgot but most big box retailers have a barricade on the sidewalk. Probably for any cars veering off the frontage road 
Usually have it in front the entrance
And now the bar is has hanging support
I get what he meant with texture it is not needed but would boost up the texture quality
maybe try to put some brick lines on it
with transparent white and black
it improves
not really needed but makes it nicer
thats very nice
Looks better
whole building
That’s hot
Sup ppl
In game
and thanks
Back to the grocery store. Good logo? Letters planned below said logo
Looks good
xd
So
I’ve had experience creating plugins before in Android
But I have an IPhone and I can’t seem to find any apps that work
The apps from android aren’t in the apple store
Anyone know any other apps?
Base of grocery store w/details alreadt added.
Logo isn't present yet
Have you already tried searching "pixel art" and scrolling down a bit in the App Store? I found a few of them like Pixel Studio or Pixelable, though I haven't tried them out yet.
I tried a few
Some are just fill in the colours
Some just make the file too big
But I’ll try those
But know any of them that can code?
Or program?
I found something called "Quick Editor" and it looks good through the showcase gallery, but it has 3.0 stars :/
Ok
Maybe QuickText
Oh my god
Thanks m8
No problem
Shopping center
Nice
Woah that looks amazing
Thanks
I'll use it for every porpuse apart from that
Nice, also corners
The wha
if you mean the road corners it's just in a test world lol
otherwise idk
what corners you mean
Corner shops
shhhhhhh
Nice
Very nice!
A supertall glass boxy skyscraper

how to make a plugin
There's no one way diagonal road but only diagonal road
Another thing about my commercial plugin
Only strip malls have 4 frames, with everything else having 2 This is no longer true
Anyways, forgot to mention that the grocery store also has 3 variants
Nice its like a mini-walmart pack.
lol 2nd time receiving that compliment
fun fact
the grocery store is based off the Kroger building in my private commercial brands plugin
Note the similar styles
Make a corner store tho
I meant a mall which would be put in corners
yes
hmm interesting
I'm already make such a pack...?
So far it's got a strip mall (11 variants), a department store (3 variants), and grocery store (3 variants)
oh k
I plan to have at least 10 buildings before initial release
Okay,
You can help me
in wha
in making a roadside stall
seperate
tons of these in india
interesting
Helps in indian based cities for that "Indian city feeling"
A remaster of a plugin ive done a year ago
I wonder what about the "lacta center"
Can you show me the spoiler.. is the glass texture problem resolved ?
It'll be soon but I'm lazy rn and school started
I'll work on it but mbmp update is on higher priority
I am working on plugins since recently. I am learning the basics of the graphic making and I wanted to ask if the light is right on this image:
Test it in the game :) Than u see if it fits in
What was the problem?
I had to delete the files in the app info for it to save again
It could not save
Ik xD I ment that "I had to .."
nex train
fancy
I was using Notepad ++, then VS 2019, now I think I will just use VS code
I was using this https://jsoneditoronline.org/#
JSON Editor Online is a web-based tool to view, edit, format, transform, and diff JSON documents.
Oh okay
Vs Code is probably the best option for Windows
Emmm... you can make JSONs in normal windows notepad?
but I downloaded visual studio code for something lua stuff I was trying to do, using vsc now
:)
U can do nearly everything in notepad from Windows but there is no Syntax highlights and no type help usw. - Its harder
Ik but anyways like the {} its easier if u just must type one and he do the rest
Ah yes
Welp, I use VS code for JSONs and Clip Studio Paint for graphics (This one is paid, I also use it for other stuff, I recommend paint.net or piskel)
Sorry for disturbing, but is that good? (IT is not finished yet and I would like to hear the feedback of good plugin maker)
It looks good
Emmm... I think the windows are a bit off
it is not bad for a starter
Maby height the edges a bit more
Yes ik xD
Ah xd
Except for that, is all good, I dont think you need shadows for that one
Dont forget to resize the canvas (Or the final image) for avoid problems when using in the game
Ok
I know that it has to be 32×16
It is actually my 5th building the other are... well not really that good
The smile replacement plugin is the first plugin that i uploaded in the forum im gonna upload my other plugins :)
XD
Is somewhere in my documents folder, or maybe gone bcs I restarted my PC, idk
Btw this reminded me that we should suggest, that we have a bigger variety of emojis in game
When i first make plugin the graphics is so bad
I think is gone, f
F
F?
This means respect
My first plugin files are deleted
I am sorry
Or somewhere, idk, let me grab a photo I posted here....
Do you want to me to show the other houses?
Making codes in rusted warfare is easy
Its the game that i learned how to make pixel art
Here it is xd
It was nice, but it had some problems with the ground and the roof texture
Yeh that was nice
Can you show us how it looks :)
Is it the one comment you answered?
I meant this comment that answered the plugin
Im an offline player :p
Yes, but it was small and just for try plugins, it was pain to work with PC (Creating the plugin) and mobile (Testing the plugin)
Have you actually posted it in the forum?
No
It was for test
If theotown had a reload data so you dont need to restart the game you just click the button and it refreshes the data
When you install a plugin
I am doing 1 × 1 buildings and I wanted to ask if they can have more pixels
That would be so good
I have posted it on the forum in the suggestion
That is for LUA plugins I think
You can also make a suggestion here
No for JSONs
How
You write your plugin in LUA and you test it in the game, and I think that for every change you make to the code, you dont need to restart the whole game
Idk how to make lua
Same, there is documentation, but LUA is mostly for advanced plugins, like when you need a function that JSON dont provide
There is documentation in the TT forum if you wanna make LUA plugins, and there is also the LUA documentation if you wanna do something else (I think TT uses a modified version of LUA)
Idk, I have exams soon, cya
For me, is now fine
Add shadows :)
I already added shadows on the right side otherwise idk where
I reccommend using The26's Tutorial.
Ok
Is there a possible way to make a mech in theotown i was planning to do that
If decor yes, if functioning nope.
Idk i think not.
Yeah not
Maaaybe...
Maybeeee
How about tanks that shoots :p
Well im the creator of the shopee plugin i was planning to recreate the sprites
Bye
Bye
cya
actually this plugin has existed since 2020 #plugin-showcase message
either way
the idea is a button to reload all plugins
and ja responded with "that's just game restart"
i wasn't necessarily asking just for animations
the drafts are load when the game init.
you're clearly not getting what i'm trying to say
(although a restart game button would be useful because i don't like having to close and re-open the game)
Heeeeeeeeeeelo
ah, you have a lot of plugins and need a long time to load them all.
I only have 150 now but I had like 700 before soo yes 😔
I know people with 7000 plugins
why don't you encourage plugin creators to optimize their frames?
like this. i think the text code will be loaded quicker than prefetching the frames.
yeah this is bull poop
they make good plugins but then there are stuff like this, ikr
@signal lagoon look at this
hmm
How to use ian's "night animation editor" in android ?
I hate when he replies like this
I mean
I did this for my public library but it isn't a goddamn skyscraper that would take up twice the space
"I'm tired of restarting the game just make reload button always accessible"
"Just restart the game" (I'm savage 😎 )
lol 
have a wild guess typing Pban Shm...
I should have the typing status off
Sorry but I have an order from government
I don't care about your notes
Anyway
Nooo don't ban me
Or something
But actually
When reload button
Just make is so it doesn't show up only when you install a plugin
Ez win
Pickle clicker 1337
yes
