[grim path]

ye this is my first plugin

some simple 3d shapes as decoration would be a good start

and here i am

[dreamy hearth]

yeah

[grim path]

my remaining to-do lists are:
slopes
arches
corner slopes & stairs
half blocks floating (for long arches)
half blocks above roads

[dreamy hearth]

I see

[grim path]

ye

and maybe half blocks and arches as bridges

but ill just add
1x1 arches
slopes
for the first release of the plugin

[dreamy hearth]

I'll wait for it someday and experiment with it in the future

[finite ocean]

Hello i'm brazilian i need help

[dreamy hearth]

what kind of help?

[finite ocean]

I cannot recover my password to register with my account

sorry if my english is not good

[grim path]

slopes ✅

[finite ocean]

Sorry, what?

[grim path]

i'm just letting him know that i finished the slopes

[fickle atlas]

Can I use the TT plugin creator to make a public plugin?

And how do I put multiple decos in one plugin?

[grim path]

is it possible to blend a decoration to the ground like this, and how:

because:

[hollow cairn]

json error moment, its smth abt draw ground idk

or you know it already?

[grim path]

im kinda new to this plugin making crap

[grim path]

nah, only now

[hollow cairn]

ah ok then

[grim path]

its all coming together

ngl im quite satisfied

[hollow cairn]

make smol stairs 😳 😳

[grim path]

ok small stairs in my checklist

i mean its meant to be a decoration lol

sure ill add small stairs

[hollow cairn]

nice nice

[grim path]

its literally a simple 3d shapes deco lmao

[hollow cairn]

ye lel, with some texture :trol:

emote fail

[grim path]

and its my first plugin too

[grim path]

this one frame took me a damn while

[rich birch]

Wow it can build the bridge

blushes

[grim path]

sadly you cannot build roads on it

its just a decor

what about like 2 variations and 4 rotations

[hollow cairn]

noice, would be perfect for y'know these things 😳 (credits to burgerham for photo)

[grim path]

any more requests before i prepare the first release

[pure granite]

colors

[grim path]

ah yes

[grim path]

im not planning that for the first release

[pure granite]

ok

[grim path]

i will add colored variants in version 3 though

[pure granite]

good

[hollow cairn]

that's it i think, but if you could can you create a 1×1 corner stair that'll be really great

[hollow cairn]

y'know digonal corner stair

[grim path]

planned for version 2

[hollow cairn]

noice

excited to see it for sure

[grim path]

now all ill have to do is give the deco blocks a name and description

[hollow cairn]

shaded bloccs

[grim path]

v e r s i o n 2

[pure granite]

Mincrf

[grim path]

or maybe 1.5 if the version flag thing allows it

[grim path]

also for the "author:" thing, can i do something like <old_unchangable_name> (current_username)

the <old_unchangable_name> being the theotown username

since idfk how to change it

[pure granite]

what does the word minecraft have to do with tt coding

[hollow cairn]

minecraft

[grim path]

is this valid or not e

in the plugin manifest

[dreamy hearth]

if it's inside quotation marks then maybe

[grim path]

well ok then

[grim path]

but how can you upload a plugin to the plugin store

[dreamy hearth]

this one @grim path

[grim path]

done btw

[dreamy hearth]

pog

this can actually pair well with MBMP

[grim path]

whats that

preview before uploading anything

[dreamy hearth]

noice

[grim path]

oh cool

[grim path]

h

[dreamy hearth]

wait it got approved?

[grim path]

no

i just added names

[grim path]

all i need is to put the plugin in its own catergory

[dreamy hearth]

good luck

[grim path]

but how lol

yeah nvm im not putting it in its own category

[storm raft]

@grim path could you also add a grey variant?

[hollow cairn]

woah can't wait for another epik variant 🗿

[untold flint]

How do i remove the green thing?

[hollow cairn]

you can ask akun on how to do that

he knows

[grim path]

can you send the frame picture here?

[untold flint]

Here

[hollow cairn]

ah yes

[grim path]

no wonder

you should remove the green part

aaaaAAAAAA

[grim path]

it's simply part of the sprite. there is nothing wrong with your json

[hollow cairn]

zamn

[untold flint]

Ima try

[grim path]

ok i got it fixed

now im waiting for approval

[hollow cairn]

noice, can't wait to use it for my stadium district

[grim path]

how long does approval take

[untold flint]

Help the ground 😀

[hollow cairn]

draw ground true draw ground true

[grim path]

add "draw ground": true

[untold flint]

Idk how to codinggg helpp

[grim path]

go to your json file

[grim path]

copypaste this thing

its simple

[hollow cairn]

idk 2/3 days give or take

[grim path]

whats the earliest approval rate

[hollow cairn]

hmmm i don't know abt that lel

[untold flint]

What app or whatever is it to open json file?

[grim path]

umm how did you make this plugin then

[untold flint]

Im using this 😂

I dont even know how to coding

[grim path]

ah

you dont need code to do all that crap

json is pseudo-code

theotown does the rest

[river phoenix]

Korea police

[grim path]

what have i done

oh god its acting like the trees

is that why-

[hollow cairn]

oh no

[grim path]

oh boy i better hurry

[untold flint]

Somebody help me with coding stuff on mobile 😀

[untold flint]

H

Huh

Hello

Lag😂

[chilly mango]

There needs to be a comma at the end of line 14

[untold flint]

Thx :) now it worked yay :))))))

[midnight obsidian]

i like how a plugin which actually looks really nice and is high quality got 3 dislikes while a bunch of random noiseless, bright and shadowless shapes got no dislikes and 16 likes

[hollow cairn]

literally me when that happened

[unique pivot]

We live in a society

[thorn igloo]

That's theotown players for you lol

[sick rune]

Pretty much

Ian would probably know a thing or two about unwarranted dislikes

[hollow cairn]

@grim path listen to the critique listen to the critique listen to the critique

[glossy owl]

Hey guys, so I started making a commieblocks plugin, would this style fit in the game?

And yes those black floor outlines are visible on real prototypes

There are lots of variations of them, but I chose earlier one

I’ll add roof details later, but now I’m just making a base sprite

[glossy owl]

Also those buildings will be connectable

At least visually

This connection will kinda look like that

[chilly mango]

The lines should not be black it stands out too much

[glossy owl]

Top ones will be removed tho

Middle ones are part of the building

Anyway I’ll also make a corner building

So you can make connections in L shape

[midnight obsidian]

It's out of scale

If you were to compare it to a regular TheoTown building this plugin's proportions will look way too big

I'd recommend you make the windows smaller and the gaps between them

[glossy owl]

Oke

[midnight obsidian]

@cyan steeple nitro scam link moment

[agile forum]

Case #r1M7NT

川田ビャンケ ｡◕‿◕｡ ♡#3690 was banned for the following reason: nitro scam

[midnight obsidian]

welp erk was faster

[floral pivot]

lel

[glossy owl]

Is it better?

[midnight obsidian]

yes, but now there's a different issue

[glossy owl]

Way pixelated?

[midnight obsidian]

since you just downscaled it, there are a ton of mixels and stuff that don't fit the artstyle at all

[glossy owl]

Yeah

As I said, it’s just a base thing

I’ll make a better one based on it

Hopefully it isn’t hard

[midnight obsidian]

also, i'd recommend you use this tutorial to help with your building looking better; this includes how to make better looking windows and helps with shadows

it's also in the pins

[glossy owl]

Sure

[cyan steeple]

me was eating

and for some reason I dont get desktop notifs

[floral pivot]

hmm I wonder why

okno

[cyan steeple]

oh yeah

im used to still getting mobile notifs when on DnD

but desktop is smart

[glossy owl]

So I cleaned it up a little bit

I’ll add more details there

[midnight obsidian]

looking better, but the vertical gaps could be a bit lower

also i'd recommend you just use a 2x2 template

[glossy owl]

Yeah, I’ll transfer it on 2x2 tho

Added more details on windows

And made gaps smaller by 1 pixel

[grim heath]

Looking good, not sure why there are blurred pixels, but it's good, though the tile visible behind it is a bit too empty.

[glossy owl]

There will be some kind of garden or playground

At least most of those buildings have it in CIS countries

[glossy owl]

Ibis paint moment tho

This is why blurred

[grim heath]

Could also be a parking lot

[glossy owl]

I’ll clean it up

[glossy owl]

Yep

I think there would be really a lot of varieties of 1 building

This 4 floors one will have a darker version

[grim heath]

Also the roof is a bit empty, try making it look like it has rough cement or gravel, and if it still looks empty maybe a satellite dish.

[glossy owl]

I’ll add cabins

And we mostly have satellites on the walls tho

Cuz apparently not everyone wants to be connected to specific operator

Here’s 5 floors version tho

[grim heath]

You could also add variation between floors

[glossy owl]

Oh we also have conditioners outside under the window

[glossy owl]

Yeah

[grim heath]

Maybe the air conditioning and satellite dishes

[glossy owl]

Yep

Also I can tag u in the arts and photos since I described all the variations there

[grim heath]

That isn't necessary, but I would not mind.

[glossy owl]

Oke

Oh I forgot

It’s in town square

So there is 2nd variation of 5 floors buildings

3rd one would be dark green

[grim heath]

Compared to the windows on the left side the ones on the right are more spread out from each other, intentional or not?

[glossy owl]

They also have different spacing irl

[grim heath]

What is the irl reference?

[glossy owl]

So yeah, they all have different spacing

I chose middle one (one of the earliest panel version)

[grim heath]

Ok
Also some windows have balconies, that can be a variation between floors!

[glossy owl]

It will be included

It mostly goes after 2-3 windows

Depending on which side

Some of them don’t even have balconies

[grim heath]

Exactly, variation.

[glossy owl]

Yes

Also here comes the green one

[grim heath]

Corners of windows on the top floor still include color from previous variants.

[glossy owl]

Yeah, I see

It’s kinda more vibrant than irl one ngl

[grim heath]

Some windows look to have flower pots but it definitely would be too small to detail with pixels

[glossy owl]

Here’s fixed one

[glossy owl]

Yeah

Man I think I need a coder team cuz I think it will take a loooot of time to make every single one of them

There would be like 50 variants

[grim heath]

I don't exactly know code, but all the variants could be put in a building pack, which I assume is what you plan to do.

[glossy owl]

Also 4floor one will cost about 500t from the beginning

[glossy owl]

Yeah

It will be called “OG commieblocks pack”

[grim heath]

Maybe instead of commie, say Russian since that can be offensive to some ppl

[glossy owl]

Well it’s official name

And it simply can’t be Russian since u can spot those buildings in Russia, Kazakhstan, Chechen republic, Georgia, Belarus, Ukraine, Czechia, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, Latvia and even in Germany

(ex GPR territories in Germany)

[grim heath]

"Cold War Era", maybe?

[glossy owl]

Basically all ex-socialist territories

[glossy owl]

Welp, even commies call it commieblocks

Because it was built under communist regime

(Mid 1950’s- 1980’s)

It can be named OG Panelki’s but it doesn’t really sound good

[grim heath]

Well if they actually call them that, then sure, though may need to give context in description of plugin when released

[glossy owl]

They’ll understand that

Even without context

Since it was an overused term

[grim heath]

ok

[glossy owl]

So it won’t be offensive

Anyway if anyone wants to collaborate, I’ll be right happy to

[grim heath]

Some don't have flat roofs, but you did mention cabins earlier

[glossy owl]

Yes

[glossy owl]

Yeah, only the earliest brick 4-5 floors ones have that

[grim heath]

Looking through Google, I actually like the style, and idk why.

[glossy owl]

Hehe

Sometimes they look cool

[midnight obsidian]

copy and paste

[hollow cairn]

H

[midnight obsidian]

by the way it's still very blurry

[grim heath]

Maybe try Piskel, it's a cool pixel art creator, but they no longer save pixel art, but you could just simply download the PNG files, or even make them GIFs. Just remembered about the site, but I can't use it since I am on mobile rn.

[glossy owl]

Lol

[midnight obsidian]

i prefer using pdn because piskel doesn't support transparent pixels

[grim heath]

Me who has used Piskel and had a transparent image:Umm...

[glossy owl]

Cool

[midnight obsidian]

i mean half-transparent pixels

[grim heath]

Translucent?

[midnight obsidian]

sth like this

[grim heath]

Yeah, that's translucency.

[glossy owl]

I think transcluency isn’t very necessary on buildings unless shadows textures

[grim heath]

And that's only if the building has no base texture

[glossy owl]

Yeah

[midnight obsidian]

i very rarely ever put ground textures

i use draw ground for that

[glossy owl]

I’d draw a ground only for 1x2 buildings

[midnight obsidian]

so translucency is very important for me

[glossy owl]

Since they will take 2x2 space

[midnight obsidian]

i mean if you want the ground to be just grass then remove the ground and use "draw ground": true

[glossy owl]

I want to add some details there like a backyard tho

[midnight obsidian]

you can still add in a parking lot or anything, the grass will still be there and it will be on the "bottom layer"

[glossy owl]

Yeah

[grim heath]

Then "draw ground":false

[midnight obsidian]

so really i just don't add in a ground for anything

[midnight obsidian]

no

[grim heath]

Idk coding too well

[glossy owl]

Basically I can draw a backyard without a grass and type “draw ground: true”

[midnight obsidian]

yes, exactly!

[glossy owl]

Noice

[midnight obsidian]

here's one of my plugins, as you can see there's no grass at all, i instead use draw ground true

[glossy owl]

Does theotown support buildings that are gifs?

[midnight obsidian]

no

[glossy owl]

Sad

I’d add some walking dudes on a backyard

Or dudes opening windows

[midnight obsidian]

you'll have to specify the frames as separate pngs and then specify that the certain pngs are a part of an animation

[glossy owl]

Oh

[midnight obsidian]

and then set the x y coordinates of where the animation will happen

[glossy owl]

Wow, looks like a stock building

Like it really fits the art style

[glossy owl]

Ah

[midnight obsidian]

but the thing is it's a bit complicated so i highly advise against doing that for now

[glossy owl]

I see

Welp

I’ll maybe try doing it when I’ll finish the pack

[grim heath]

I guess do it when you are real used to making plugins

[midnight obsidian]

actually what you can add are smoke frames, those only require you to choose what smoke you want and where do you want it

they're pretty straight forward

[glossy owl]

Lol

[midnight obsidian]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=1337

oh 1337 lmao

[grim heath]

I don't think "commieblocks" really have a place for smoke to come from, as far as I have seen, but maybe a future plugin of DoctorSex

[glossy owl]

Noice

Well they don’t have any smoke pipes

Only vents

And elevator cabins

Lolololo

[grim heath]

Uh

[glossy owl]

Anyway

I think those ones turned out to look pretty good for a first time

(Ofc I’ll add cabins on top)

[midnight obsidian]

add noise and remove the blur!!!!!!

[glossy owl]

Yeah

I’ll work on that later

[midnight obsidian]

fiy, noise can be added by adding in random lighter/darker pixels on your building, just make sure it's subtle and not very obnoxious

[glossy owl]

Oke

[grim heath]

Like how I suggested a rough concrete or gravel roof

[glossy owl]

Yep

I really need a tablet ngl

It isn’t really comfortable doing it on a phone

[grim heath]

You do it on mobile? Then I guess I also can.

[glossy owl]

Yep

[midnight obsidian]

fun fact: i've tried making a brutalist building but i never finished it because i didn't like how it turned out

making a brutalist shape is very hard

[grim heath]

Interesting, though as you said, it isn't that great.

[midnight obsidian]

i also made this, which is supposed to be a tech support scam call center

[grim heath]

Was this the final product or...

[midnight obsidian]

funnily enough this one's the most complicated when it comes to layers

[midnight obsidian]

final product

[glossy owl]

Lol

I think it needs a grid pattern

[midnight obsidian]

here's how it looks in game

[glossy owl]

Epic.

Was that hard to code it?

[midnight obsidian]

not hard, just tedious

[glossy owl]

Hehe

[grim path]

wait what happened

[grim path]

i was asleep 💀

[grim heath]

There must be a lot of spam seeing the last variant is so big.

[grim path]

hmm 66% rating

[midnight obsidian]

here's the json

[grim heath]

I find it interesting... Would be willing to pay 30 gems for it, but some ppl have different opinions.

[grim heath]

Very tedious.

[grim path]

i wanted it to be lower

but unless i had more shapes

[midnight obsidian]

i specified the repeated frames first and then i did trial and error to match them in the correct spots so that i could get normal looking height variations

[grim heath]

I assume you counted the front windows, the higher it gets it adds three windows (I hope we are still talking about the spam support center)

[midnight obsidian]

here are all the frames

while this method is tedious, at least it saves a decent amount of plugin space

[grim heath]

So either full on buildings that take up more space but is more easier, or the different frames option that takes up less space but is more tedious. Cool.

[midnight obsidian]

a decent amount of my plugins actually use that method

[grim heath]

Maybe add pyramids (basically 4 slopes/stairs put together, so it shouldn't be too hard to do)

[grim path]

ngl i didnt know what to expect lmao

[grim path]

i was planning pyramids a few months ago actually lol

[midnight obsidian]

(amogus easter egg??????)

[grim path]

here are the old and ugly frames

this was actually planned a few months ago atleast

[grim heath]

For the cylinder one, maybe make the oval on top more flat due to the perspective TheoTown has, and maybe experiment on how flat the oval that makes the top of it should be since you probably won't get it exactly correct.

[grim path]

i actually already had a new cylinder frame in place

[grim heath]

Yes I just squished the top and bottom, but this'll get the idea across

[grim heath]

@grim path

[grim heath]

Oh wait you have do not disturb on

[grim path]

lol

[grim path]

the simple 3d shapes deco dates back june lol
#plugin-discussion message

i honestly wish we could stack buildings (and in this case, decorations)

[grim heath]

I added them to my school campus.

[grim path]

i might make a variation of the blocks

but with different materials

i.e. wood, cobblestone, brick

and if i update a plugin, would people be notified or smth

[grim heath]

Idk, I could just check New&Updated.

[grim path]

im working on a longer variant of the arch

and maybe shadows

[grim path]

i had "supports slope" as true before, assuming it would act like a building on a slope lol

[grim heath]

And it doesn't, that definitely could get an update

[grim path]

i had that on in version 1

i had to update while approval was pending so

no one noticed lol

[grim path]

version 1:

[grim path]

i intend to keep it noiseless and bright but i'll add shadows

[grim path]

@dreamy hearth

Just turn one of your arches into a road deco

ye i will

[dreamy hearth]

It's weird, people for some reason prefer simple plugins

[grim path]

kinda makes sense i guess

mine is quite simple

[dreamy hearth]

It's sad tho the Shinjunku park tower was great yet it has a low rating ;-;

[grim path]

no noise, shadows, and its a simple white color

[dreamy hearth]

Same with the Ningbo Ghost bridge

[grim path]

especially its purpose lmao

[dreamy hearth]

Yeah

Actually it can come in handy especially if you can turn it into a road deco

[grim path]

yeah thats what i have been thinking

[dreamy hearth]

Welp good luck in programming it m8

[grim path]

i might try using lua

from a guy coming from python

[dreamy hearth]

U knew python as well?

Same ig

[grim path]

ye

how do i make a road decoration lol

what tags do i need

do i simply just change "type":"decoration" to "type":"road decoration"

[dreamy hearth]

there's more to that actually

[grim path]

especially if i need only 1 damn frame

i only had to use 1 frame for this

[dreamy hearth]

wait gimme a sec

[grim path]

i sorta checked the forum too

[dreamy hearth]

u know what to do right?

[grim path]

ill uhh experiment with it

[dreamy hearth]

okidoki

in the meantime I think I should try making my first plugin

any ideas what I should make for my first?

[grim path]

big whoop

its not there

[grim path]

hmm

maybe a plugin with a broad purpose or smth

[dreamy hearth]

hmm I'll think of something eventually

[grim path]

indeed

[dreamy hearth]

lol

u can do it man

[grim path]

and its the wrong damn frame

[dreamy hearth]

ur close

[grim path]

im done

[dreamy hearth]

and so you proved rtob wrong

well that's nice

[grim path]

how

[dreamy hearth]

that could be the next update

[grim path]

no, i still got a few more tricks up my sleeve

[dreamy hearth]

I meant this

[dreamy hearth]

oooh noice

[grim path]

its like:
rtob: noo you cant make a simple plugin with no dislikes
me: haha shape go BRRR

or
rtob: noo you cant make a plugin
noobs: haha plugin go br

[grim path]

corner slopes

pyramid

and double height blocks

[dreamy hearth]

so a 2.0?

[grim path]

ye

[grim path]

i wont update the thing unless i have done these following

[dreamy hearth]

I see

[grim path]

i got some concepts

2 archs stacked ontop of eachother,

one cube at the bottom, one arch at the top

[dreamy hearth]

a plugin that can be used to make those old viaducts

epic

[grim path]

but its modern edition

hey wa it

wait

i have a good idea

what if

we mix

the overpass

then add an arch ontop

wait no

an overpass

ontop an overpass
genius

[grim path]

thank me later burgerham

[dreamy hearth]

okidoki

just make sure to sort ur ideas

[grim path]

aaaAAA

i only noticed now

finally

[grim path]

i just had a slope problem

[dreamy hearth]

oof

welp good job on spotting that

[grim path]

m o r e

[rain gate]

Looks great

Very nice for simulating things

[frank birch]

anyone know what happened to that one bank plugin with the nice UI?

[hollow cairn]

more

[grim path]

MORE

[hollow cairn]

noice

[dreamy hearth]

could be used to recreate those old viaducts like those from the Roman empire

[dreamy hearth]

m o r e

[grim path]

i wanna cry

[grim path]

MORE

[dreamy hearth]

Did you finally fix it?

[rain gate]

This plugin is great

Keep up the good work

[grim path]

i decided to get rid of that thing for good (it was a double overpass)

[grim path]

thanks

[rain gate]

How do i code something to be a decal

[grim path]

"type": "decoration"

[tidal glen]

Its kinda loading forever

[dreamy hearth]

wait till you have to load 12k

also once you open it enough times without downloading new plugins, it'll open faster

Imma try making a diagonal plane plugin but as deco

[tidal glen]

Ok...

[dreamy hearth]

making it in the form of a working plane breaks the game's physics

[hallow turret]

Plen

[hollow cairn]

nice nice

[dreamy hearth]

wait can I ask for like a sprite of the regular plane?

[dreamy hearth]

May have to widen the plane

and make it longer

[urban grove]

Yea make it a bit wide since is kinda skinny and make it longer

[dreamy hearth]

noted

[urban grove]

Also is kinda off center lol

[dreamy hearth]

don't worry I fixed that

[hollow cairn]

that looks noice 😳

🗿 also are only gonna make the plane from that angle

[dreamy hearth]

no Imma make it from other angles as well

[pure granite]

he's pissed

[white snow]

Details...... Details.....

[dreamy hearth]

wait wait Im lengthening the body rn

[white snow]

Remember.... The.... Details

[dreamy hearth]

I did the math and the length of the plane in a face down position is at around 62 pixels

[white snow]

Sometimes when I make planes it's not mathematically align

[dreamy hearth]

Im trying to make a diagonal plane u see hehe

[white snow]

Good luck on horizontal view

[dreamy hearth]

don't worry Im saving the easer ones for last

[white snow]

The wings would be one big one small

Cus perspective is playing at hand

[dreamy hearth]

mhm

but rn Im just seeing how long I should make the body

so 62 is from top perspective

so if I were to change the angle

to the front diagonal

I would have to shorten it by a tiny bit

[white snow]

Try to use a random human(3 px) to see

[dreamy hearth]

okay I've made my plane long enough

[rich birch]

AAAAA!1!1!1 burgerham's plugin oh my GOD
⭐0 ⭐

[dreamy hearth]

I did a lot of counting just to determine the dimensions of the plane my head hurts

[rich birch]

Diagonal runway✅
Diagonal taxiway ✅
Diagonal plane deco ✅

Only the diagonal of the terminal remains

[hollow cairn]

nice

vönark said he tried building a diagonal terminal once is it? he said it looks weird

[dreamy hearth]

so like the dimensions of the plane are as follows(incomplete info)(will update later when done):

• The body is 64px long and 10px wide
• The wings from edge to body is 22px wide
  -Vertical and Horizontal Stabilizers are 10px tall and wide respectively

[white snow]

You have the same experience as i do when I did the An225 Boeing 747 remake

[dreamy hearth]

but due to perspective purposes I have shorten the plane

[white snow]

I forgot to announce this but did you know that i made the Mammoth tank from C&C as a form of celebration to the remasters. Since I can't work because of dead laptop I'm planning to extended it

[dreamy hearth]

Slight rework of the plane

hmm what do you think?

[white snow]

Kinda fat maybe wings and the fuselage are to resize

Idk it look a bit better the wide version look weird maybe it will fit well for a big plane

[pure granite]

Yeah this is better 🗿

[hollow cairn]

[urban grove]

I kinda regret my decision

[dreamy hearth]

[pure granite]

The old one was already perfect, all it need was colors

[grim heath]

Road deco? Cool.

[unique pivot]

Yes

[fickle atlas]

Now we need diagonal jetways

[fickle atlas]

May I ask what plane it's based off?

[cobalt axle]

This text was translated so… don’t worry if it sounds weird ok? I want to tell you why Vönark is leaving „plugin development“. Some especially smart ones want to „downrate“ your plugin. One Ingenious person wrote to me in a pm and began to „downrate“ there. He wrote as if I was mentally retarded. He pointed out to me that I do not have a night animation, although it is there. He said that the tower was the wrong size, although I calculated everything to make it as realistic as possible. He said that there are few details and in general everything is bad! But the main thing is... I have the wrong name! Wow!!! Well, of course, I have it written "Red Eiffel Tower", but in reality it is "Tokyo Tower". A person has never heard of such a phenomenon as copyright for a particular building… And when for several weeks or months you make a huge airport with high detail so that it looks like a real one, then the comments reach the point of absurdity. "I want duty free!" Or even better, "It's hard for me to build each part manually, I want everything at once" Ha ha ... You can't put only 20 (or 10) parts in a row? I even wrote the instructions on how to put the parts, so that absolutely morons could even do it. But no... If u want all in once, then go write this damn code, for which there’s not even a tutorial. Yeah, of course, the forum (!!!). Yes, yes, the forum where the developer writes tutorials on how to make water, but he has a mistake in his own code! That is, trying for months is just a waste of time. I was hoping that I would get at least some recognition in at least some community, but I got 💩 in the face ... And then I release a plugin that I have been working on for only a day... It has a 100% rating for at least a week. While my most advanced and time-consuming plug-in in the first hours fell to a rating of 85%, because you too lazy to put 20 parts and want everything at once Take it and do it then? As I did once.

[fickle atlas]

So does this mean he won't be helping me with my plugin

[hollow cairn]

damn..

[fickle atlas]

Its a shame I really like his plugins

[hollow cairn]

yess

[fickle atlas]

I dont think people know how hard and time consuming making a plugin is

[hollow cairn]

he did dm me asking if there's smth wrong abt his Tokyo Tower, but i conviced him there's nothing wrong with it, it looks perfect imo

[fickle atlas]

It does

[hollow cairn]

but it's pretty sad, I've only known him for a few weeks and now he's leaving

[fickle atlas]

All his plugins are amazing

[hollow cairn]

yep

[cobalt axle]

will

[hollow cairn]

well you can try dm'ing him, he's prolly busy rn

[fickle atlas]

I can't he's either blocked me or I can't bc we dont share any servers...

[hollow cairn]

hmmm

[cobalt axle]

don’t worry i see ur request, i just leaved the served and log out

[fickle atlas]

Oh ok

[hollow cairn]

i see

[zealous aurora]

I looked at that "european people" plugin and I had an idea

[fickle atlas]

Huh

[zealous aurora]

Soccer/Football crowds

[fickle atlas]

Whats futbol?

And that looks more like soccer

[zealous aurora]

I put all the synonyms for the same sport

[hallow turret]

Everyone call it football but america

[hollow cairn]

america and their invention

[hallow turret]

Fahrenheit 😳

[subtle pier]

America also call NFL football

They hold the ball the entire game

[hallow turret]

So

Handball?

[hollow cairn]

feet

[zealous aurora]

This one is based on the CR Flamengo supporters

Aka.: "The Red-Black Nation"

I plan in making one for a bunch of other teams

[graceful ore]

@cobalt axle sorry my dude

https://youtu.be/zfKJzCrGyK0

[zealous aurora]

With a bunch of variations of crowd

[graceful ore]

Hope y'alls Wednesday is going well :D does anyone know of some horse and carriage plugins? I want to make an amish style community🤠

[dreamy hearth]

a hybrid between the Airbus A320 and the plane in TheoTown

[fickle atlas]

Oh nice

[dreamy hearth]

man this hits so hard

[midnight obsidian]

i'm just very strict when it comes to me rating plugins, that's about it lol

[dreamy hearth]

this is somewhat similar to the ratings the Shinjunku park tower from Faer got

[midnight obsidian]

and i am biased against bright noiseless shapes

[dreamy hearth]

wheeze

don't worry I might consider helping him on making textures

although it's sad tho

vonark

he was a talented developer

[midnight obsidian]

i'm biased towards very technical plugins, such as the animation dev tool

[dreamy hearth]

yet the people tore him to shreds

[midnight obsidian]

oh and i'm also biased towards some specific plugin creators

[dreamy hearth]

lmao

[hollow cairn]

exactly!!

[dreamy hearth]

man why did they just send so stupid comments to him

[midnight obsidian]

sadly there aren't many active talented plugin creatirs anymore

[hollow cairn]

yep

[midnight obsidian]

rock fort uploads some plugins from time to time

[hollow cairn]

"would be better if there's night anims" 🗿 🗿 🗿

he did tried, im so infuriated at those dumb and silly comments

[dreamy hearth]

one day I wanna make more plugins but in the meantime Imma go finish the plane sprites

[midnight obsidian]

look at the comments in simon142's modulable build megapack or sth like that

there are a ton of dumb comments

[hollow cairn]

noice

[hollow cairn]

and other things that are modulable

like facferc's shinjuku park towee

🗿

oh wait,i think there're none there

[midnight obsidian]

another huge victim of negative comments because people are dumb is full hd

[dreamy hearth]

man the people

sometimes they're too demanding and it comes to a point that they can't fulfill it anymore

it's harsh and toxic it's horrifying

[chilly mango]

If you want good ratings and lots of downloads

Make a glass rectangle

[dreamy hearth]

lmao imagine if that actually happened now?

[chilly mango]

That's more constructive criticism than I'll ever get

[midnight obsidian]

tbf i miss designer anthony

[chilly mango]

Also lua plugins generally have terrible downloads

[dreamy hearth]

man sometimes the community makes me wanna laugh

[midnight obsidian]

even though his plugins were horrible, it was funny seeing how he responded to the criticism

[dreamy hearth]

but tbh I miss the talented plugin devs of olde as well

[chilly mango]

Yoooo

4

[dreamy hearth]

yoooo

[chilly mango]

But yeah really not that hard

Simple stuff get good ratings and downloads

Especially when big

[midnight obsidian]

this is my favorite designer anthony moment

[hollow cairn]

ye

[dreamy hearth]

I love how his response is just "f i n e"

[hollow cairn]

lmao, once i got so excited seeing hong kong apartment plugin and then i saw it's made by anthony

[surreal orbit]

who is anthony

oh wait

[urban grove]

A plugin creator, his plugin is decent i guess

[dreamy hearth]

A theotown plugin dev in the forum

[surreal orbit]

ah

[frail monolith]

Sameeee

we need more HK buildings imo

Also i wonder what happend to him

He hasnt posted in like a 2 months and so

[hollow cairn]

exactly!! imo vönark did all he could to add the night anims and to put his airports plugin into one piece

[dreamy hearth]

Also ever noticed that even builds that were good were downvoted

What is wrong with them

[dreamy hearth]

It wasn't his fault

[hollow cairn]

yep

he clearly stated that all of the instruction wil be available on forum

[frail monolith]

People who are new expect every plugin to be perfect and their idea's to be listened all the times. If not meeted downvote yk

[hollow cairn]

ye

[dreamy hearth]

Man it's like what noodle once said, that did not deserve a voice

[frail monolith]

I also guess that making a plugin is easy even tho it doeSnt

[dreamy hearth]

Ikr

Even making the textures can be a nightmare

[hollow cairn]

but damn, i was looking forward to seeing more of his airpot plugins if he'd planned to create one

[dreamy hearth]

Ye

[frail monolith]

Still waiting for an Arab plugin :,D

[hollow cairn]

ye, they thought it's just like rendering

[dreamy hearth]

Somebody should remake the Burj Khalifa

[frail monolith]

I was hoping he'll take interest in Hamad INT

[dreamy hearth]

Or Heathrow

[hollow cairn]

but yah, he's leaving sadly

[frail monolith]

Really??

That quick eh

[hollow cairn]

yesss

[dreamy hearth]

Ye

[frail monolith]

Where was it posted?

[hollow cairn]

this

[dreamy hearth]

@frail monolith

[frail monolith]

Ohhh

Bruh- the dude who downrated his hardwork just needs some insight view to plugin making

[hollow cairn]

yess

[frail monolith]

This is such a bad-side of new people in theotown by the comment system istg

[dreamy hearth]

Ikr

[frail monolith]

Its sad truly

[dreamy hearth]

One even demanded a DUTY FREE in Flughafen

[frail monolith]

Mans thought copyright is inevitable in theotown

[hollow cairn]

like brehh

[dreamy hearth]

Yeah the Tokyo Tower was copyrighted

[frail monolith]

Fr?

[dreamy hearth]

Ye

U need license to use the name

[frail monolith]

It was r e m o v e d ?

[hollow cairn]

oh yeah it'll prolly get removed, i hope i doesn't sound like a dumbas

lel

[dreamy hearth]

No the building itself is there, the name's just red eiffel tower

[frail monolith]

Ahhh i see

[frail monolith]

I can hear the people who reported him to pull a twitter and say its fake

[hollow cairn]

hmm

[hollow cairn]

ikr

[dreamy hearth]

Man mob mentality is horrible

[frail monolith]

Its sad truly by a long-shot

[dreamy hearth]

;-;

[hollow cairn]

yess

[frail monolith]

I was hoping he'll make more japan builds like Himeji and Kyoto

But yet the comments had to

[dreamy hearth]

Or more airports

[frail monolith]

He was the Airport king truly

[dreamy hearth]

How the King has fallen😞

[frail monolith]

Not to be mean but

[dreamy hearth]

?

[hollow cairn]

yes truly

[frail monolith]

He fell because of selfish people who thought they had a point in everything and dont care about Vönark's hardwork and care abt this supposed realism even tho it can be legable to copyright or downright unrealistic proportions to it. Man, when will the people who scolded him have some insight.

It is disgusting.

[dreamy hearth]

Nah it's fine that isn't mean but instead the truth

[hollow cairn]

facts

[dreamy hearth]

Sadly many people in this world don't know much ._.

[frail monolith]

Well we'll miss his amazing builds for now

[dreamy hearth]

Yeah

Who knows maybe it'll eventually get the appreciation it deserves

[hollow cairn]

yes i hope it'll too

[hollow cairn]

hehe I'll be ready to defend him

[rain gate]

Flughafen Kloten

[frail monolith]

Same

[hollow cairn]

yes

[dreamy hearth]

Nah they'll prolly understand

[hollow cairn]

i see

[dreamy hearth]

If they don't then we may have Twitter level of common sense that we're dealing with

Sorry if my English is broken I'm half asleep

[hollow cairn]

h

[hollow cairn]

yep

[midnight obsidian]

that's so goddamn true

[graceful ore]

So pretty

[tidal glen]

I this is not a normal? I Think...

A ship în the parking?

[chilly mango]

if these are plugin ships

could be the creator misaligned it

[tidal glen]

The ship is moving

So its somehow ended there

[versed pike]

Damm, the retire of Vonark is sad :(

Idiot people comments in plugin store alredy caused the retirement of two plugin creators

That is terrible

[unique pivot]

wait he retired?

[tidal glen]

Oh...if will continue like this the plugin store will disapear

:((

[chilly mango]

woah poeple actually read the comments?

i dont

[versed pike]

Also i have news

I will return making plugin possibly the next week, since i will finish with the first year of the institute

[mint wadi]

two? who's the other one?

[versed pike]

The creator of the Half life 2 citadell

I cant remember his name

[chilly mango]

It's Valentine#7373

[rain gate]

Nice car

Also whats the roads in the image

[rain gate]

What the name of the plugin medieval one

Who completely transform the game

[versed pike]

Age of Sail

[rain gate]

Thank

Alright i found the small park variant 7 from the world textures

Now how do i code it to be a decal again

[orchid sorrel]

I'm pretty sure such a plugin exists

[rain gate]

Where is it

The only thing i saw is the diagonal plaza

Why cant i pick ground

[orchid sorrel]

unsupported

you can find it somewhere on the forums

I'm not sure how it's called

probably concrete something

[rain gate]

The concrete doesnt match the small park decal thingy majig

[orchid sorrel]

what?

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=4705&p=176536&hilit=concrete+decal#p176536

took like 2 seconds to find; it's pretty old but should work fine

[rain gate]

I think i did something wrong

[orchid sorrel]

probably badly cropped image

[rain gate]

Mhmm

[orchid sorrel]

or badly adjusted coordiantes

[rain gate]

Well its my first ever functioning plugin

But not quite functioning

[orchid sorrel]

functioningTM

[rain gate]

Im gonna start constructing my first plugins

As this is just a leap forward

I have discovered that the plugin functions and learnt how to make them without boring keyboard code

[midnight obsidian]

he still makes plugins very rarely, but he's quite active when it comes to plugin criticism, just not in this server.

[versed pike]

So he continue making plugins?

[midnight obsidian]

pretty sure yes, but as i said, very rarely

[rain gate]

I am gonna make a downtown pack for building and stuff just an issue

How do i make buildings

[frail monolith]

Pins

And forum's

[rain gate]

Imma make a downtown/chinatown theme place

[frail monolith]

There is a plugin abt that made by Montemarino, but i suppose do what ya do

[rain gate]

It be based off some art i did

[low loom]

Same encounters regarding on airport but i don't mind them

[grim heath]

Except for when they kick it though the field goal, but that only happens when the team chooses to give up trying to make a touchdown or doesn't want to try making a 2 point conversion and instead go for 1 point.

[rich birch]

sorry guys, I've tried to fix it but the ship bug isn't healing

[grim path]

i lost ideas; what do i make for a new plugin

[pure granite]

futuristic res, or coms

[dreamy hearth]

agreed

[grim path]

what about for my "Simple 3D Shapes Deco"?

what should i add

[pure granite]

colors 🙂

[dreamy hearth]

more variants like brick to satisfy rtob

[grim path]

besides variants and colors

i know what damn people want

colors, variants, noise & shadows (rtob), etc

[hollow cairn]

digonal cirner stair!!1!1!

[rain gate]

Diagonal Circl(e)

[thorn igloo]

Can anyone suggest me some simple plugins which you need desperately while playing?I am thinking of creating my first plugin so I may try some of your suggestions.

[pure granite]

Taxiway decal!!1!
( so that tt planes can stand on taxiways like rl )

Lots of airpot builders would use it 🗿

[hollow cairn]

🗿 yes

[thorn igloo]

Hm

Sounds good

[hollow cairn]

or mabe even diagonal taxiway outline thing, as we already got the norm one

this is what i meant by the normal one.

embed fail

eh

nvm

[thorn igloo]

I may try to create the plane parking area as decal too so that people can place the planes on them(it could not be done before)

[hollow cairn]

ooo noice

[midnight obsidian]

👀

just make sure the plugin doesn't become mbmp 2 lol

[thorn igloo]

I have created the front part of the apron

[thorn igloo]

How can I make the ground transparent?

[midnight obsidian]

just delete the ground

[thorn igloo]

Okay thanks

[midnight obsidian]

and use draw ground true

[thorn igloo]

I don't know plugin coding 😔

[midnight obsidian]

it's not rocket science

[pure granite]

it is for 5-6yr olds

[white snow]

Wow Vönark experience are same as mine. When I released the NASA SCA, that one plane with shuttle in the back, people started saying its not working because it won't release the shuttle from the plane and I know to myself that these imbeciles won't know such a thing and it is impossible to do it anyway but the fact that I have some mistakes at my part such as the Php independence building plugin which is just a reskins have some errors, misalignments, and minor mistakes. But the thing is I really want to fix them all. I don't want to abandon my plugins and I will try my best to contribute to this game mush as possible. These people have no idea how hard making plugins are even I struggle most of the time. I'm an artist not programmer but I understand the difficulty of writing a codes just to make it work. If i can't show my programming skills then I should impress them with my visuals.

What I mean of "it won't release the shuttle from the plane" is they wont separate.

[proven yoke]

Its normal, because I made it really hard

[sinful meadow]

Bridge name?

[thorn igloo]

Airport parking apron and taxiway decals

[pure granite]

its unfinished right?

[thorn igloo]

I'm done with the textures now I will have to do the coding

[pure granite]

I see

[thorn igloo]

The parking apron is supposed to look like this(This is drawing,not the real plugin)

[thorn igloo]

I have made the textures of only one side,the other three sides are not done yet.

[thorn igloo]

Lol why can't I select Terrain in Plugin Type in Plugin Creator?

[keen helm]

Make me think that I'll have to create diagonal frames for my trains.

That means more than 200 diagonal frames have to be created, will take a while to do.

[rich birch]

The name is "Liede bridge" from tcps team

[pure granite]

Its unsupported by the website 😔

[thorn igloo]

Oh then how will I do the coding?

[pure granite]

you type stuffs

[hollow cairn]

you can ask a creator for help

[hollow cairn]

wow, i tryed thag and naw am profesunal at plagin codig

[pure granite]

I can do a bit of coding 🗿

[white snow]

@unreal breach Haha you don't know me

[pure granite]

[dreamy hearth]

Imma just say a random fact/reply

So, Metro Manila's LRT 2 uses a train manufactured by Hyundai Rotem and shares a resemblance to the Korail Class 351000

Same train used in the Bundang line of the Seoul Metro

Well its second generation

[fierce haven]

I think it will take quite a while

[keen helm]

Can we get access to a beta at least ?

Cause it would really help for my japanese city

[fierce haven]

If you have any questions, please DM🙂

[thorn igloo]

Oh Thanks,I will ask your help after making the frames of the other sides
