upbeat cliff
eternal lake
upbeat cliff

#

sorry for pinging

eternal lake
#

what do you mean

upbeat cliff
#

the structure

#

can I just move this pic to the template on pixly

eternal lake
#

yes

#

although I'd recommend starting with standard, non diagonal ones

upbeat cliff
#

yes

#

ah I can't move the image because the frame size is too smol

#

so I should make everything from first

#

very painful

eternal lake
#

??

upbeat cliff
#

this size is enough?

eternal lake
#

no?

#

the size should be a tile

#

I told you to use the frame from the tutorial

winged steeple
#

Why is the effect on the number of students different?

grand spruce
winged steeple

winged steeple
#

Oh

upbeat cliff
eternal lake
#

the fence tutorial

upbeat cliff
#

this one?

#

yeah I already download the template pic

eternal lake
#

then use the size of this image

#

you could trim it vertically once you're done

upbeat cliff
#

why you didn't tell me earlier

#

alright

eternal lake
#

I told you exactly what to do

upbeat cliff
#

@eternal lake is this correct?

eternal lake
#

yes

upbeat cliff
#

ok

eternal lake
#

crop the top to the maximum though

upbeat cliff
#

I will continue my work

eternal lake
#

to save some space

upbeat cliff
#

what if I didn't crop the top?

#

it is still work

low shoal
#

yes

upbeat cliff
#

I'm trying to make diagonal that goes straight like this, Idk if this will work or not-

eternal lake
#

the sizes are definitely not correct

upbeat cliff
#

what sizes? frame?

#

how to make it like this

#

the pixels just goes straight

#

someone help me bear_ping

low shoal
#

you have to wait patiently till someone who knows the answer sees it

upbeat cliff
#

hmm ok

#

me will ask this on vps

eternal lake
#

diagonal fences aren't an official feature and I'm not aware how they work so I won't help with this part

upbeat cliff
#

alright

#

I'm trying to find the answer, if I didn't I'll just make it without diagonal

low shoal
#

make the diagonal a decor

#

I don't use mobile

upbeat cliff

@low shoal

Can you change the UI through plugins, like the back button, font, icons...

eternal lake
#

yes

#

you can place images at the world texture

#

not sure if that's a privileged functoin

eternal creek
#

Anyone know how to make plugins for ios? I want to create it on my mac and then play it on my phone but dont know how to move the file into the game.

grand spruce

Ptag files

tulip rockBOT
# grand spruce Ptag files

TheoTown files are located under such directories:

  • Windows: C:\Users\(insert username)\TheoTown or %USERPROFILE%\TheoTown
  • Linux: ~/TheoTown
  • MacOS: /user/TheoTown
  • Android: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files
    By default you should be in /storage/emulated/0/. Uninstalling the game on Android will delete all files, unless you decide to keep the files when prompted by uninstaller.

If you cannot access game files through these directories, game has an in-built file manager for mobile devices which is accessible from the region view menu.

You can find your plugin, music, region and city files there as well as logs for debugging purposes.

grand spruce
#

That should help you with the file finding part

eternal creek
#

Thanks! I'll try this

wild marsh
#

Anyone how to convert zip file to plugin?

grand spruce
#

You want to make your file into a .plugin?

#

That's done in game

#

Use the console and run the export command

wild marsh
#

Done, thank you

winged steeple
#

Csn someone help me to make big building

winged steeple
#

Does anyone know how to make a plugin script without going to the PCA web?

cedar stone
#

There is a section dedicated to coding the JSON

low shoal
rose oyster
#

jeh

upbeat cliff
#

insert texture, like I need to put the image?

#

the image text

#

I have 12 image so I must insert all of this in 1 bmp?

eternal lake
#

what?

upbeat cliff
eternal lake
#

ask the one who created the tutorial

upbeat cliff
#

like example
sidewalk black.png

upbeat cliff
#

where is him

eternal lake
#

you append frames using "frames": [{"bmp": "image.png"}]

upbeat cliff
#

example :
"frames": [{"bmp": "sidewalk.png"}]

#

like that?

eternal lake
#

that's exactly what I've sent

#

without any additional attributes this array denotes a single frame

upbeat cliff
#

oh

eternal lake
#

you can either add more images or use appropriate attributes to add more frames

upbeat cliff
#

I have more 12 frames plugin, what if I add more 12 png

eternal lake
#

I'd recommend grouping frames into a single image

upbeat cliff
#

oh

#

like put all 12 frames on 1 image?

#

is this will work?

vague scarab
#

Or do something like this:

"frames":[
{"bmp":"frame1.png"},
{"bmp":"frame2.png"},
{"bmp":"frame3.png"}
]
upbeat cliff
#

ohh

#

I get it

eternal lake
#

organising your frames will make the job easier

#

but you do you

upbeat cliff
eternal lake
#

if all 12 frames are related, sure

upbeat cliff
#

alright

vague scarab
#

Does the fence have variants?
If so better to make the fences each variant its own id.

eternal lake
#

do fences support variants?

#

I have no idea

vague scarab
#

I've already tested it with my ITP road median,and it didn't work when i tried to do so.

upbeat cliff
winged steeple
#

Do you use spaces for low or high impact education?

eternal lake
#

what?

#

if you want to add students to your building use "provide aspect education low/high"

winged steeple
#

Not

#

"influence loweducation"

#

Or

#

"influence low educatio"

#

Which is true?

#

INFLUENCE LOVE EDUCATION BROOOO

#

The bottom or the top?

#

#Iwanttomakethebestschoolplugin

eternal lake
#

refer to the advanced tags for building plugins forum thread

eternal lake
#

what is exactly the problem

#

adjust your coordinates/handles

#

"y": integer

#

it will most likely be the additive inverse of your night frame png's height

#

but you'll get there with a little experimenting too

low shoal
#

use "y": 1234 maybe?

#

I understood it Haha I just don't speak English my language is Spanish

austere owl
#

can anyone who knows the game/has json/manifest experience tell me what part of my files might be causing random frames of IAP textures to load in place of the custom base? i thought it was memory/version related because i’d been testing it on my iphone, so i bought the steam version and tested it there, but the issue continues

#

I have a question guys… can you guys give me a plug-in that makes maps that are larger than ā€œcolossalā€ & ā€œgiantā€ map size and region size?

#

I know there is but I never got 1

#

I play on IOS/IPadOS

low shoal
upbeat cliff
#

what does that mean

earnest pendant
#

lau

#

lua*

#

i mean it's pretty obvious

hollow flax
#

if you mean the train, it's automatically detect the type "train car".

austere owl
#

can someone help me figure out why this keeps happening? i've got the log.txt, out.txt, and screenshot of it. as funny as the pickel is, i can't figure out what's causing it (if i knew, i'd make a pickle version!). i've already uninstalled every other plugin besides mine and the sample plugin, deleted all game data, completely rewritten the .json and .manifest and overhauled the entire structure of both textures and code, it just keeps happening?

low shoal
#

pickle winter animations lol

austere owl
#

and when i switch out of winter, it stays pickle…

#

but only some frames turn into pickles? it's so weird

low shoal
#

shows how much ja loves his pickles, hes sbotaging you with em

austere owl
#

and it's often different ones each time i load it

#

it looks like it's somehow swapping my texture with other textures, because the DSA logo sometimes get switched, too

grand spruce
#

Is it not always the palms?

#

Or is it random?

austere owl
#

nope

#

it's pretty random

grand spruce
#

@steel verge since you can't help me, help this fella

austere owl
#

switching to winter and then back sometimes results in all of the frames turning into sand frames

#

the animations are unaffected, just my own texture

#

sometimes it'll also switch to the texture from the sample plugin

low shoal
#

thats the most interesting bug ever, can i try it myself?

austere owl
#

sure, i'll send the zip

#

it's so weird

#

when i switch from winter, the ground grass frames often gets switchd with the sand frame, or the winter frame

#

sometimes, the sand frame will be grossly off-center, too

#

more examples

steel verge
#

You are accessing plugin texture space

austere owl
#

it seems to be something broken with the winter frames, because switching to winter is what triggers it, but i'm not sure what it could possibly be

#

i mean, yeah, it's a plugin

low shoal
austere owl
#

yep

low shoal
#

works fine for me

austere owl
#

look at the grounds, though

#

some of them are sand that shouldn't be

low shoal
#

i turned on both winter mode and put snow underneath

#

hmm

austere owl
#

and some of the palm trees are grass

low shoal
#

on the right

austere owl
#

it's so weird

low shoal
#

the left is non transparent

austere owl
#

it's like it's just…randomly grabbing frames, other than the one i'm trying to get???

low shoal
#

seems to be just you getting the pickles, houses and dsa logo though

steel verge
#

Type pt in theotown console

#

That will display your plugin texture space

austere owl
#

ok

#

i got it

#

but why is it pulling the DSA textures when i specified the names of the texture files? it's so weird

#

they're not even the same names???

low shoal
#

and it worked fine for me ~

austere owl
#

this better not be an apple-specific bug 🤬

austere owl
low shoal
#

so did you šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

#

gotta say, the dsa logo (trademark) is kinda funny

austere owl
#

that's the bug

#

it worked fine except for the weird winter texture bug

#

i think it switches them for some reason, because my textures are appearing in the menu lol

low shoal
#

thats the weirdest screen ive ever seen

grave sonnet
#

whae

austere owl
#

i had to use my laptop's screengrabber to get the menus

#

it's also somehow pulling from the animations in the world texture in that last one???

true laurel
#

Guys do you have any idea about this, ian tried to make a debug version but nah, this bug still occurs and its valid only for me

#

Its so annoying

earnest pendant
#

simple

#

the id couldn't be found

true laurel
#

id ?

earnest pendant
#

identification card

#

or id for short

true laurel
#

Whats that

#

What it means*

earnest pendant
#

it's for the plugin?

true laurel
#

Yes

austere owl
#

what’s wrong with my plugin,

true laurel
#

Whats your plugin

grand spruce
#

Seeing as Bunny can't recreate it

austere owl
#

i mean, it’s still grabbing random frames in my texture, even for bunny

true laurel
austere owl
#

apple wtfff

earnest pendant
grand spruce
austere owl
#

look at her screenshot

true laurel
austere owl
#

look carefully at the grounds

#

the plugin is placeable, but there is a texture bug that i can’t figure ojt

grand spruce
#

Oh I see what you mean

austere owl
#

*out

earnest pendant
austere owl
#

everything seems to work but the winter frames

true laurel
#

@hollow flax you should take a look to this

earnest pendant
#

okay now ur confusing me

true laurel
#

Maybe bürgernamn can explain the problem

grand spruce
true laurel
#

But he can understand you and he is the creator of plugin

earnest pendant
#

since ian uses lua

#

and i dont

austere owl
#

rip my hopes and dreams

grand spruce
true laurel
#

Right ?

true laurel
earnest pendant
#

and i do not know a single thing about lua

grand spruce
#

But you also said it was only an issue you are having

true laurel
#

Yes

grand spruce
#

So maybe it's a krill issue?

true laurel
#

Krill issue ?

true laurel
true laurel
#

What does it means

#

Sorry about my poor knowledge

grand spruce
#

It's a joke about it being a skill issue

earnest pendant
#

krill issues

grand spruce
#

Meaning that there's nothing that we can do, seeing as it works fine for everyone else lol

true laurel
#

noo

#

😭

grand spruce
#

No I doubt it's ian's fault

#

As you said your the only one with the problem, and no one else seemingly

true laurel
#

Idk why but these bullshit things always happens to me

#

Thats a big unluck

#

And the fact is this bullshit problem is happening on one of the importest plugins

wicked frigate
#

Lol

true laurel
#

Why, i have 600 plugins and it happens to this 😭

grand spruce
#

These kinda issues seem to be more common on iOS

wicked frigate
#

@true laurel are you on IOS?

true laurel
#

Yes

#

Like, extermination is on ios too but it works fine for him

true laurel
grand spruce
#

There's a chance

wicked frigate
#

I mean the IOS version is pretty outdated

grand spruce
#

i've heard of odder fixes to issues like that

true laurel
#

And i am sorry for ian because i occupied him for some days

#

And with this my new i13 version dream is ended bear_mad

grand spruce
#

I mean there's always the off chnace just waiting a few days somehow magically fixes things (it's happened before lol)

true laurel
#

But how

grand spruce
#

There's why I said magically

true laurel
#

If there wont happen any ā€œmagical thingsā€ or ian can find a fix, i will be stay limited with old i13

#

Pending approval ā‰ļø 😱

#

New version 🤯 ?

steel verge
grand spruce
true laurel
#

Yes

#

I hope that ian could found a fix

austere owl
#

i put the textures for the base frames into an animation object, and then targeted those with ā€œstealā€ for the actual buildings

#

now to see if it works

molten sand
#

light animation rotation

"animation":[
 {"id":"$anim_customLights00", ... "frame":0},
 {"id":"$anim_customLights00", ... "frame":1},
 { ... , "frame":2},
 { ... , "frame":3}
]
#

cityRotation 0 is the unrotated view of the city, the "frame" key handles the rotation

I cant try disable other plugins without knowing whats the problem/which plugin is cause of problem

#

It will be random

#

Is it possible to send old versions to me ? @hollow flax

#

1.0.1 or 1.0.2

#

And idk why but new version isnt appears

#

He hid/suspended it I think

hollow flax
#

plugin store version is still available for ios, i think.

#

oh, i forgot, the plugin store min version is 1.10.95.

true laurel
#

It works for me

hollow flax
true laurel
#

Still same error

#

This plugin is cursed for me😭

true laurel
hollow flax
true laurel
#

The result should be 21539x1535 ?

hollow flax
#

all textures size.

true laurel
#

@hollow flax

#

Says 2048x2048

hollow flax
#

that's the problem, you need about 8% of fill ratio.

true laurel
#

Fill ratio ?

#

How can i make it %8

hollow flax
#

deactive some plugins with big textures.

true laurel
#

Okay, i should delete some big sized plugins yeah ?

hollow flax
#

yes, and if you can edit the plugin, you can remove the texture like portada3.png and change that json.

true laurel
#

Sadly, i cant make changes on plugins because idk coding

hollow flax
#

so, you can remove or rename the plugin folder or file with prefix "_" like "_name.plugin"

true laurel
#

Okay

hollow flax

click the right arrow to move to next page

Where can I find the tutorial or documentation for these new beta features:

  • Use tags instead of explicit IDs to identify train and train station relationships
  • Adjust car speed dependent on whether a road crossing has traffic lights

Is "rotation aware":true works for "type":"road"?

eternal lake
#

no, what would it do?

#

roads are inherently rotation aware

#

if I'm correct about this

nocturne violet
#

What about diagonal fences?

eternal lake
#

what is the question

nocturne violet
#

Are diagonal fences rotation aware?

#

Because I refrain from using them because they turn when the screen rotates

eternal lake
#

diagonal fences are not a vanilla feature and that depends on your implementation

#

but in most cases yes

nocturne violet
#

I’m not an expert in this

#

question is, if they turn how fix?

#

Oh and I love your plugins

eternal lake
#

provide them with at least 4 frames and then add the "rotation aware" attribute

#

if you're the creator, of course

eternal lake
molten sand
nocturne violet
molten sand
#

say smth like this

eternal lake
#

then it's the creator's fault if it isn't rotation aware

#

sadly most creators are lazy when it comes to functionality and usability

nocturne violet

molten sand
#

rotationally aware roaddecos will only show two of its frame, for all cityRotations of two-way road (i.e, ordinary single road)

in road frame 5 and road frame 10 of "ordinary road"
for cityRotation 0 it shows roaddecoA for roadfframe 5
for cityRotation 1 it shows roaddecoB for roadframe10
for cityRotation 2 it shows roaddecoA for roadfframe 5
for cityRotation 3 it shows roaddecoB for roadframe10

instead of
for cityRotation 0 it shows roaddecoA for roadfframe 5
for cityRotation 1 it shows roaddecoB for roadframe10
for cityRotation 2 it shows roaddecoC for roadfframe 5
for cityRotation 3 it shows roaddecoD for roadframe10

eternal lake
#

not analysing this right now

#

sounds like a bug to me though

molten sand
#

but this behavior works well for one-way road

steel verge
# molten sand rotationally aware roaddecos will only show two of its frame, for all cityRotati...

Rotational road decorations are exclusively applicable to one-way roads, which inherently possess a direction-based sense of rotation. Consequently, there is no compatibility for such decorations in roads lacking a defined direction.

A solution may be to use a one way road with custom dirs that make it act like a normal road. That way the "rotation" is also visible to the user during build mode.

molten sand
#

My solution is a condition-based cityRotation fun-attr or lua which are roaddecos that are independent to their roads (1-way or 2-way))

steel verge
#

if it works

molten sand
#

It works, I informally demonstrated that on vc

Using fun attr, it rotates but was delayed 1 abs day, now pretty sure lua update it much faster, but mehhh

austere owl
#

if it works, it works

austere owl

there seems to be a bug with frame arrays that contain multiple entries with the ā€œcopiesā€ attribute, similar to the one that occurred with winter frames, where the behavior was not defined

# wise scaffold Ptag files

TheoTown files are located under such directories:

  • Windows: C:\Users\(insert username)\TheoTown or %USERPROFILE%\TheoTown
  • Linux: ~/TheoTown
  • MacOS: /user/TheoTown
  • Android: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files
    By default you should be in /storage/emulated/0/. Uninstalling the game on Android will delete all files, unless you decide to keep the files when prompted by uninstaller.

If you cannot access game files through these directories, game has an in-built file manager for mobile devices which is accessible from the region view menu.

You can find your plugin, music, region and city files there as well as logs for debugging purposes.

wise scaffold
#

You download them and put them in "plugins" folder following these directions

Hi , I'm having a problem with the game. I don't speak English well, but I'll try

When I build a zone, no buildings are built, even though I have water and all the other resources necessary to build. I'm on the beta update on Android , and I've attached a video that shows the problem.
Thx.
