[earnest pendant]

Mhm, got it now!

I'll try it, thanks! Other than that, everything seems alright?

[low shoal]

monthly income wont work

set it to a positive value

but otherwise yeah seems fine

[earnest pendant]

I removed the monthly income altogether

But it says it has an error with "expected literal value" on line 10, when the brackets are

Waitwait I'm trying to fix it

[earnest pendant]

What does that say? I searched far and wide, but I can't find an explanation in human language

[low shoal]

Theres no value for x

🤷‍♀️

you can show your code to begin with

[earnest pendant]

I got it working, but I ran into another problem

It says that it doesn't find a certain png even though it's there and I double checked the name

I can show the files and error image if needed

[earnest pendant]

I also changed the name of the file and in the code, it's still not working

[terse void]

the problem is in your frames tag

what does it contain atm

the game thinks you are trying to load a piece of the game textures

and to do that, it expects an x coordinate

but you probably didnt intend to try and load that

[earnest pendant]

"Bmp" and the name of the png found in the plug in folder inside ""

[terse void]

if you capitalised the b in bmp that will be the issue

[earnest pendant]

Nono i haven't

That's my keyboard in the start of every sentence

[terse void]

well now the error says it just can't find the png

you mightve mispelled it

rest looks fine to me

[earnest pendant]

It looks fine to me though... I don't know what's the problem

[low shoal]

It says 1 here?

[earnest pendant]

It's an older picture, I tried to rename it

I sent the files picture because I realized it was an older one

[earnest pendant]

I'm clueless :|

[safe magnet]

The code is OK. You missed one letter in the name of your file. Exchage ==> ExchaNge

[earnest pendant]

Omg thank you so much

[earnest pendant]

IT WORKS THANK TO ANYONE WHO HAS HELPED ME

Really, I thank you all from my heart

Setting the plugin image is "thumbnail" in the plugin.manifest?

[molten sand]

name of your image file

awesomePluginImage.png

[terse void]

its gonna be the image displayed in the store

if you got just the 1 buildings its fine to just have that as your thumbnail

[earnest pendant]

Where do I set the name pf the file? In the .json or .manifest?

[earnest pendant]

Do I have to upload it to the store somehow?

[terse void]

i think manifests are mandatory these days

if you want to upload it to the store

the manifest just tells the game (and the user) what your plugin is about, not what it actually is

it just fills out this menu

if the thumbnail isnt present, itll show as loading forever

[earnest pendant]

It is loading forever

But the .png file is stated in the .manifest and is present in the folder

[earnest pendant]

Should I put it inside the .json then?

[low shoal]

no

plugin manifest files contain some basic information about the plugin the game reads to join multiplayer and stuff. they have to be named plugin.manifest for it to work

[earnest pendant]

I did exactly that

I will send here screenshots tomorrow morning

Idk why this little bug is happening

[tulip rock]

I couldn't find any tags matching that name!

I couldn't find any tags matching that name!

Does the animation work for ships? I’m trying to make paddling kayakers but the animation doesn’t show up 😦

},

[steel verge]

Ships do not support animations.

[earnest pendant]

Any idea why the thumbnail still loads forever?

[terse void]

might be too large

6mb is gigantic

[earnest pendant]

What size is the maximum more or less?

[low shoal]

Compress the image

[earnest pendant]

How much?

Is 1MB okay?

[earnest pendant]

Bruh 27kb is too large as well?

[frigid arch]

Hey good morning! I was wondering what is the average wait for a plugin to either be approved or disapproved, it's been almost a month

[steel verge]

If you're curious

Brooklyn bridge was submmited for approval on 29th of August

[earnest pendant]

Just submitted my plugin as well, thanks to anyone who has helped me, with huge amounts of patience, in the last days. Thanks to you, I will now be able to make more plugins. 🙏

[safe magnet]

I submitted some days ago, but now I found about “thumbnail” in manifest file, which I do not have. I want to add this, but there is no way to edit submitted files, only add, so I don’t know what to do. Also since it takes about 2 months till approval consideration, I could make updates of my plug-in for this time, but still I can’t edit submitted files.

Is it possible to change that?

[low shoal]

you dont need it, uploading the store makes it automatically have the image you uploaded

also resubmitting plugins increases the time it takes for it to be approved

[safe magnet]

That’s what I want to avoid. It’s better to edit the current submission (if it was possible) than to make a new one.

[low shoal]

same thing

[molten sand]

i need coffe, I'm going back

[frigid arch]

Thanks 🙏🙏

[charred harness]

Why is it taking so long tho?

[grand spruce]

Becuase the people that do it have lives?

[charred harness]

Waiting 2 months is long time tho, compared to the wait to get your plugin approved before

[grand spruce]

People have lives man

[charred harness]

At that point maybe we get more plugin mods

[grand spruce]

Maybe we need more people that the devs can trust to do it

But what do I know

[charred harness]

Exactly what im thinking

[grand spruce]

Find me some trust worthy community members and get back to me then

(Don't actually)

[charred harness]

Lmao

[low shoal]

cause people need to be a trusted plugin creator to even be considered a plugin mod

not a lot of people who have that to begin with

and not all of them would have the same standards as the rest of the plugin mod team so

[oblique rivet]

Is there any template for drawing 1 by 1, 2 by 2 and 3 by 3 buildings?

[eternal lake]

yes

#plugin-discussion pins

[oblique rivet]

Thank you

[oblique rivet]

Hello, what should be written in the .json file so that the school has some kind of radius?

If anything, excuse my English, I translated using Google translator

[eternal lake]

influence is "influence education low/high"

students is "provide aspect education low/high"

[oblique rivet]

Thank you

[oblique rivet]

Influence is the radius?
It just doesn't work for me

[eternal lake]

you don't put integers in quotes

[oblique rivet]

Ok, thanks

[eternal lake]

also, there's no such influence as 'low'

(sorry, typo)

[safe magnet]

“influence education low"
"influence education high"

[safe magnet]

"provide aspect education high"
"provide aspect education low"

[oblique rivet]

I made a plugin, thanks for the help

[earnest pendant]

What does these do?

How much space for students and what level of education they are getting?

[eternal lake]

that's the student space

[earnest pendant]

There is no command to space of insert education level workers?

[eternal lake]

???

you can't add different level workers

the level is strictly tied to building level

[earnest pendant]

Dense insudtrial, for example, allows more highly educated than low educated?

[eternal lake]

no????

dense is dense

not educated

[earnest pendant]

Is education just a happiness mechanic?

It has no effect on who wokrs where?

[eternal lake]

????

[safe magnet]

It has no, afaik. This game has very basic economics. Perhaps, more basic than the first simcity´s eco. It would be much harder to maintain, if it had. Not reasonable for a super small community.

[fiery olive]

is it possible to make custom backgrounds for these problems (like that red banner thing)?

[eternal lake]

no, only by replacing texture directly

[fiery olive]

sad

imagine if we had something like that for complex industry

[earnest pendant]

I get it. Thank you for solving that question for me!

[safe magnet]

You are not greedy on grats. What a rare thing. NP

[hollow flax]

idk to remove that things, but afaik, you can add "flag" to animation. the values should be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.

[earnest pendant]

I'm not familiar with the slang you used in the sentence, but I still am gonna use this: :)

[earnest pendant]

Been looking for vericous airports. Seems limited

When making a plugin with various buildings, should I make .manifest and .json for every model?

[eternal lake]

no

[low shoal]

You can incluse all the buildings in the same json and for the manifest you just need one for the whole plugin

[earnest pendant]

And if I make few .json files, will it affect performance?

[low shoal]

Not by much

[earnest pendant]

Okay, thanks again!

[earnest pendant]

Can I control how much traffic a building is producing? I know that industrial buildings are producing x traffic, can I make it 0.8x?

[safe magnet]

@earnest pendant Idk how zones work. I only know how to spawn cars from my new buildings. I guess the zones mechanic is the same.

"car spawner":
[{
"cars":["$FancyKayakBaseBus01"],
"radius":20,
"count":10}],

I also got a question: meta":{"tags":{"idle bus":{}}} - what sense does this line have if I add it to my bus? And why idle?

[low shoal]

you cant adjust the spawning of traffic from a certain zone but you can turn down the volume for the whole game in settings

[earnest pendant]

I get it, thank you!

Because you have 2 frames under frames

finally in its place in the lamp

[safe magnet]

Is it all (bike road, lamp) rotation aware?

[scenic heart]

Unfortunately not for now, most likely rotation aware for bikelane in the future

I'm so dizzy from the light

[safe magnet]

Where did you get those vending machines?

[safe magnet]

I hope you do it. I have to pass by very beautiful plugins which are not rotation aware, because I don’t stop rotating the city while building. And I promised myself that if I do a plug-in, i do it rotation aware.

[wicked frigate]

From people and props pack (private)

[scenic heart]

I'm like that too, but for me, a plugin with rotation aware is just a benefit

[earnest pendant]

Does rotation aware can also be used to create different building variations? Concrete, bricks, etc.?

[low shoal]

if youre asking if all kinds of buildings can be rotation aware, yes

[turbid anvil]

erm, this happened because of the new update

[earnest pendant]

nature plus moment

[turbid anvil]

ig lmao

do you recommend i uninstall it. i like it for being a versatile plugin but...

[earnest pendant]

I believe theres a fix in yakka's server

I dont know if it works tho

[turbid anvil]

oh boy...

yeah, i might have to part with this plugin then

[trail furnace]

its nature + plugin?

didnt crash for me for some reason

[brave pendant]

Hello, I'm new here on discord. Does anyone know if there is a tutorial for Mew's Advanced Road Network?

Anyone know what name this decal plugin??

[grave sonnet]

let's use another channel for that

[brave pendant]

Thank you for the response. I ain't beginner but i ain't a pro either

[vague scarab]

Install the newer version,or wait for the plugin store release. (Now pending...)

[low shoal]

how do you set different animations for different frames again?

[eternal lake]

"frame"?

[turbid anvil]

aye, i saw the update. ill see if it works now (it still doesn't work, i guess I'll wait for the plugin store update)

[vague scarab]

How to make the latest version road variant toggle? (1.11.30)

And some explanation from this, specifically the colors array

  }
]

[eternal lake]

colors is pretty self explanatory?

did you look where that template is used

[vague scarab]

I see...

[eternal lake]

it's for random color animations

[terse void]

hm, wonder if that would work on cars

specifically, the ones spawned by complex industry

then again, when i think back on aligning car animations my brain hurts

[eternal lake]

it does

ingame cars use that

you can also use "auto colorize" on car drafts and they will get a random color overlay just like the ingame cars

[terse void]

neat

problem is that we'd need to seperate the cabins from the steel frames of the trucks

so it requires animation work

and i am in pain doing that

[eternal lake]

I was in pain aligning all the new car lights

so have fun

[lime rapids]

Is there a way to remove buildings from appearing in manual build category, when they are already present in other?

[eternal lake]

what do you mean, I don't think buildings can ever be located in more than 1 category?

you can use "hidden" to remove them from the build menu altogether but I don't think that's what you're looking for

[lime rapids]

For example, there is Mesopotamia category, containing all buildings of the plugin. But these buildings also appear in manual build category, inside zones

[eternal lake]

you can't affect that

rci buildings will always appear there

[lime rapids]

Sadly, because it gets messy and crowded when using a lot of plugins. I thought of doing this to mine to ease a little

[trail furnace]

how do i make it so the light glow is in front of the vehicles??

[low shoal]

Ye sorry chip lol

[eternal lake]

animation fg

[low shoal]

I thought he meant the light glow only

[trail furnace]

kinda clipped it into 2 but i guess thats just how it is?

[eternal lake]

yeah probably

[ornate zodiac]

Is the airplane a special one? I use the same code when adding night animation to an airplane as I do for a car, but the rotation of the night animation always ends up being inconsistent with the airplane

[eternal lake]

simply adjust the coordinates

they are probably attached to the handle of the plane

👏

[ornate zodiac]

It's not the coordinates, it's the orientation of the airplane and the nighttime animation that don't match, I don't know why the nighttime animation will only load the first and third frames on the airplane, I have no problem putting it on the car with the exact same code.

[eternal lake]

I can't help without your frames and json

[cosmic brook]

Someone know a eazy way to invert draw to create a other two positions?

you just draw it

flip it upside down /j

[cosmic brook]

O Go try, thx bunny ❤️

[cosmic brook]

Thanks kulche

[eternal lake]

did you expect actual advice lol

there's nothing you can do, you just have to draw the rotations (I know this is beyond comprehension for some of the members here)

[steel verge]

how do I convert Minecraft build to a theotown building

[low shoal]

i even added /j to indicate i was joking 😭

[low shoal]

take a picture, remove background, downscale it and voila!

[eternal lake]

I wasn't talking to you at that moment

[low shoal]

i know

[vague scarab]

Slightly more advanced method: use blockbench,render it,save the screenshot,downsize it, redraw it (optional),and done.

[low shoal]

Sounds like a lot more steps

you create it yourself

it has to be unique

[scenic void]

ok

Which one will I choose?

zip?

[eternal lake]

anything you want/need

[scenic void]

yes but , i can use all of them for theotown?

[eternal lake]

that's what the website is for lol

zip is just the compressed manifest and json files

Yes

[eternal lake]

I don't see a question here

[slate sable]

what

what are they supposed to look like?

[hazy zinc]

hi guys um
is there a way to change the vanilla ui icons/nine patches/etc through plugins?

[low shoal]

most likely

[slate sable]

thx

[hazy zinc]

i dunno i have searched the forums and the discord server but i haven't found anything useful
never saw a UI plugin in the store either

[low shoal]

its likely possible but if it was would require previleged code

you have anime plugin by lobby

replaces some ui stuff so

[eternal lake]

yes you need to be privileged to do that

[hazy zinc]

sad

[cosmic brook]

Someone know how to fix this Heli spawn?

[cosmic brook]

And the building frame :/

If want, i Can send the files or screenshot of plugin code

[scenic heart]

What?, just copy and paste it, I often do that from other plugins.

[slate sable]

I'm afraid I'm wrong

[scenic heart]

Why is it like this?

[slate sable]

Yes

[frigid arch]

It's called Advanced Roads now

[vague scarab]

Does "z" in animation objects is telling you if that animation is displayed above or under specific layer?

[eternal lake]

I guess it should mean animation drawing order but don't cite me on that

it's probably easier to simply order the arrays yourself as they are drawn in that order

[hollow flax]

there is no z tag except on fun.

you can change the animations order in animation or indices tag. first in first out and will under the second one.

use indices for the easiest way, [3, 1, 2] => 3 under 1, and 1 under 2.

[trail furnace]

is it possible to add night animation to vanilla building using "inherit"

[hollow flax]

yes

[trail furnace]

Intresting, i think i know what my next work will be, thanks!

[hard sentinel]

Is it possible to download plug-ins from the forum on mobile?

[eternal lake]

yes

Hey I know you! I'm using some of your plugins. Thank you for making my city look better 😀

But maybe you can help with this also, I'm looking for these breakwater blocks but can't find them anywhere. 🤔 do you know who made them?

[eternal lake]

enjoy :)

it should be made by mdk if I recall correctly

you can download it through the forums only, it's called 'breakwater pack' I think?

[hard sentinel]

Appreciate you 🙏

[verbal crow]

Hello, how to make it so that when spavnoy appeared random textures. That is, the same icon as the trees

[low shoal]

press the arrow buttons

[verbal crow]

No, you misunderstand me.

I want my plugin to be randomized all the time when building.

[low shoal]

depends, what kind of plugin are you making?

you can use this i suppose

[verbal crow]

Grass pack

[verbal crow]

Thank you

[low shoal]

simply make the grass trees

that works wonders

[verbal crow]

Not logical, but reliable

[low shoal]

it really doesnt make a difference

it does the same thing as trees

[rose beacon]

WIP any tips on how to add frames with longer time?

[low shoal]

"speed:"

[slate sable]

how do you make a blue look like that?

[low shoal]

does "color" not work in "frames"?

[eternal lake]

it doesn't

[low shoal]

fine, guess ill have to make an animation and then do that :<

wait but that wouldnt work either

[eternal lake]

why wouldn't it

[low shoal]

because i cant make it so it has arrows to switch between the different colours

maybe i should just draw it separately lol, whats 4 more 16x32 pixels anyway

[eternal lake]

...why not?

you very much can?

[low shoal]

howw

[eternal lake]

just give it more frames and append each animation to each frame

[low shoal]

null frames? 👀

[eternal lake]

whatever frame you wish

[low shoal]

ooo thanks kulche :>

[eternal lake]

[null, null, ...] should work

[low shoal]

thankyou kulchee

Hello, I'm using kingtut's tram plugin, and for some reason the usage is 0%. Why is that?

[eternal lake]

this number means nothing

[heady pawn]

oh

[vague scarab]

anyone mind helping me a bit? the colors didn't works in this case.

[eternal lake]

try using all caps

probably doesn't make a difference but better safe than sorry

seems like the servers are smoldering again so I can't quite help much without forums

[vague scarab]

In the color hex code?

[wise scaffold]

TheoTown forums try not to break every day challenge

[vague scarab]

Didn't really change the color is still the same even if i use all caps for the letters in color hex.

Perhaps i need to send an zip file for better results

[young hearth]

bro is making the las vegas sphere

[heady pawn]

I've got a question, is it possible to make my building a rectangle instead of a square, i.e. have different width and height? Or would i have to split it in two buildings to achieve that?

[low shoal]

the latter

[heady pawn]

got it

[low shoal]

use compositions maybe

[heady pawn]

well I'm just getting started on making plugins

so I'll just make the building square

[low shoal]

smart choice

[spiral palm]

[lime rapids]

That's the section

[lime rapids]

Nevermind, I made an animation

[scenic heart]

how can I fix this plugin? please

[grand spruce]

Read the denial reason

[low shoal]

This is whg you alwags read the rules and TOS first

[scenic heart]

I don't understand, means I won't be able to fix it because of the offense
I can't do anything right now

[cedar stone]

Just don't modify the IDs

Otherwise stuff will disappear when people update their plugin

Unless it's strictly necessary, just don't do that

[low shoal]

Current problem is,monk had uploaded the plugin before, deleted it abd reuploaded it without changing the ids. So for people whodownloaded tham bdmefore has clashing ids

Monk I suggest you ask einfach for what you should do next

[scenic heart]

I will think about it later

[low shoal]

why would you think about it lol

its not like the solution is coming to you any time soon

[slate sable]

[wide rock]

Send the code

they are missing a comma

what?

[eternal lake]

???

it literally says what's wrong

[low shoal]

error befor "title" with unterminated object means its a missing comma

[low shoal]

so do you like scour your whole code everytime this happens to you instead of reading the error message lol

there ya go

[lime rapids]

Is there a better (smaller) way to do this JSON with rotation awareness and animation?

Also, it's not even complete, there will need to be more 8 night animation objects if I continue this way

[hollow flax]

you can use lua or json template parameters. just check the latest in-game json resources, there are template parameters examples.

[mighty seal]

I know it exist, I just can't seem to find its download option

[wise scaffold]

@young hearth another guy has "sexual" plugin too lmao

[young hearth]

ye ik lol

[lime rapids]

Thank you, but I found out that I can use "rotation aware" for animation too

That helped a lot

[olive kernel]

I tried loading theotown with arangsits new plugin, then this happened

It's probably Zarchivers fault considering the fact that it output many error messages when I tried moving the plugin folder to theotowns plugins folder

[grand spruce]

Where'd you get it?

[olive kernel]

Arangsits server

[grand spruce]

So then

Ask him there

[hollow flax]

yeah, and this some undocumented tags for the animation.

also, template parameters example. you can't put the parameters on the same template, something like if you want to change the id with same template. idk if you can do that from another templates.

{
  ...
  "template parameters": {
    "$bmp": "name.png",
    "$anim00": {"bmp": "$bmp"} // this will cause an error because missing $bmp value.
    ..
  }
  ..
}```

animations

[west umbra]

thank!

[dark dawn]

I also had a lot of aragansit plugins, and got this error message often, but since I uninstalled those plugins, there are no more errors. Actually I think it's just because of the size of the plugins, they are too heavy, because of the number of contents and the aware rotation which further multiplies the size.
But see it with him anyway

[west umbra]

How to put this category in other categories?

[eternal lake]

"category": "id"

[scenic heart]

what is the function of the code "once": true?

[low shoal]

if you for example made two plugins with the same category using same id, helps to keep them from conflicting. It takes the first one and ignores the second one

[scenic heart]

aah okay

thanks with explanation

[eternal lake]

Place it on a template

Ptag template

[tulip rock]

Q: Do we need to use a template to make a Plugin?
A: Yes, it's the most important part of the plugin, if you don't have it, it won't look great.

Q: Where can I find the Templates?
A: At this forum post: https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=108&t=3207

[quartz python]

what do i do with the template? (sorry for the newbish question)

[low shoal]

Keep the image above the base

anything below the template does not appear in game

[quartz python]

did it ty! but why is there water when i place the plugin (again sorry for the newbish q)

[low shoal]

In the json, add "draw ground":true,

[quartz python]

alright ill try it btw ty for all the help!

[low shoal]

No problem

[quartz python]

uhhhh

[eternal lake]

draw ground is not an array

[quartz python]

im confuse where do i put the draw ground 😮

[eternal lake]

in the same place as anywhere else

json is linear, there are really not much possibilities

[quartz python]

so do i type "draw ground": true or i was wrong

[eternal lake]

yes

that's how it works

[quartz python]

this is still popping up
could you help find whats wrong?

[slate sable]

Does anyone here have a 4-part json frame code with decoration type?

What I mean is the frame code 4 in different directions

[low shoal]

you would do them the same as any other rotation aware building

use use frames (2 or 4) the use "rotation aware": true,

[slate sable]

What I mean is a rotating frame with 4 different directions in 1 image

[quartz python]

how do i add night frame

[low shoal]

"frames": [{"bmp": "image name", "h": number, "w": number, "count": 4}]

i cant remember if its h or height though same with w

[low shoal]

You define an animation and add "light": true, and "light switching": true,
Then you add it under "animations": "(using the animation id you defined before)"

[low shoal]

Probably not a great idea to put [] in the titles and text. Because they are a part of the json. Seee if it works when you remove all of them

you can use ( ) instead

[hollow flax]

trailing comma on the last line.

[low shoal]

Its what ian said

[slate sable]

I've seen it after sending the error problem

[slate sable]

do you know how to handle this?

[low shoal]

[low shoal]

whats the problem?

[slate sable]

I mean how to separate them into 1 part

[low shoal]

you want to make them the same item?

oh wait you want to connect them?

like a road?

[slate sable]

No

[low shoal]

if you want help you need to explain what you want better

[slate sable]

What I mean is how to separate 1 image item which should be 1 item in 1 frame

[low shoal]

^^

count does that. count is for the number of frames

[slate sable]

it didn't work

What should separate them instead joins them

[low shoal]

your width is wrong

its width per frame

so i would assume it should be 32

Why would you reply ping me to that? That has nothing to do with me, or the issue I have.
Im not well versed in plugins made by other people either so I wouldnt know anyway, lol

On second thought, use Lua

have you seen my lua code?

[steel verge]

The issue is fun is not called as fast as your animation goes

That results in failing to detect the animation ending

and starting a new one

[low shoal]

ohhh okay thanks

noww to fix my lua

it probably doesnt do anything

[low shoal]

so wait is this supposed to work or is it just you explaining it?

[steel verge]

wont work, didnt get far enough

okie

what if i made it one animation, would that be easier?

can i like make 2 animations and then make it into one animation? :0

type: "animation"
"animation": [{"id:": "snowflake_1"}, {"id": "snowflake_2"}]

[eternal lake]

youi should

however "animations" doesn't exist

[steel verge]

lua wouldn't even be that bad tbh

[low shoal]

my problem with having one animation is that they have different rates of rising and falling

[low shoal]

aside the spelling mustake, i cant create an animation combining the two of them?

[low shoal]

can you explain how i would do it in lua?

please :>

[steel verge]

ask again tomorrow

[low shoal]

i assume by tmmr you mean after you wake up

cause i thought you wouldve been asleep by now

[eternal lake]

you can

[sharp valley]

[steel verge]

we can still use fun here

partially

[low shoal]

my problem is anything outside basic json (lua or fun) i still dont know what to do or how to do it since its very out of my knowledge

im willing to learn by making different things but right now, im just completely lost in the world of not so fun, fun

[steel verge]

bully erksmit

not like he's doing anything productive

[eternal lake]

that's a viable strategy

[steel verge]

so kulche

can I get a pickle in a suit

[eternal lake]

then wtf is this

[steel verge]

no mo

on the small one

[eternal lake]

(couldn't bother to use an actual screenshot)

no

[steel verge]

like a business suit

[eternal lake]

I'm not wasting texture space

[steel verge]

you're not

it's dsa

[eternal lake]

then that's plugin texture space lol

dsa is inbuilt

[steel verge]

look

either that

or I add my face into it

at 1000x1000

[hollow flax]

dsa wasting both

[steel verge]

then scale it down to 32x32

[eternal lake]

sure

[steel verge]

alright

[eternal lake]

it's your plugin

[low shoal]

huhhhh ive never seen that one before

[olive kernel]

Does anyone know how make json for road deco? I forgor how to do it

[frigid arch]

could I use animations for decals?

Just thinking about saving more space overall

[olive kernel]

Does anyone know how to code a fence?

[low shoal]

Aside from type fence?

[olive kernel]

Oh yeah right

I ain't exactly the sharpest

[slate sable]

how to handle this?

[low shoal]

Load the category first

Put it at the top of the json before any of the other stuff

[tall oar]

@low shoal

Uh, can you delete this?

[hollow flax]

@steel verge looks like Tile.setGroundHeight override the Tile.getGroundHeight due to a typo.

[steel verge]

elaborate

ah

you are indeed right

Will be fixed in the next update next year

How can I edit the GUI ​​that appears when I click on a drafted building? (by LUA)

[steel verge]

drafted?

[proud marsh]

I got a .zip plugin file, how do I put it in my game?

[cedar stone]

Ptag files

[tulip rock]

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.

[cedar stone]

Place the zip in the files/plugins folder

[proud marsh]

Thanks

[grand fog]

[grave sonnet]

[grand fog]

Okay thank you

LMFAO

[rancid tinsel]

What kind of tile is this?

[olive kernel]

Search castle on the plugin store and you'll find it

[mortal plinth]

How do I do that

[tall oar]

The staircase is probably pedestrian zone, that's probably a park or something making the drop off, and that's probably a fence making a custom wall

[mortal plinth]

Okay thanks

[mortal plinth]

Do you know how to separate building from the road with like a sidewalk in the middle

[tall oar]

Pedestrian zone counts as a road iirc

You can have an alleyway going around the back and just use asphalt or other decals as well

Some people use tunnels to satisfy road needs as well

But you need to make sure that the services cover the buildings, especially if the fire trucks or ambulances can't get to them

[mortal plinth]

Anyone know the building used in this build

[mortal plinth]

How do I unzip files

[low shoal]

[mortal plinth]

But when I put it in the folder they don’t work

[low shoal]

it should

i have zips and they work

[mortal plinth]

They won’t pop up in the plugins tab

[low shoal]

they wont yes

look for them in the categories

[mortal plinth]

Ohhh

[earnest pendant]

Try adjusting those numbers, "explanation" is available in #plugin-discussion

[earnest pendant]

Use Ian's animation dev tool

How can I make my decal plugin appear under buildings instead of just grass being there

There's a code for adjust the Car frame in game?

Not the texture inside the frame I mean all the frame

What's mean "offset y"

[eternal lake]

???????

that would shift the car frames on the y axis

[deep dawn]

Bro I'm sorry but I need your help

I mean adjust the Frame not the texture inside the frame

Becaus the largest vehicles can't appear correctly

[deep dawn]

About this

I mean the whole vehicle square

This square

[eternal lake]

use handles

"handle y"

[deep dawn]

Handle Y move the texture inside the square

Not the square

there's no code able to move this square?

[deep dawn]

Omg it's working "handle Y"

[deep dawn]

Thanks 👍

[rich tundra]

is there anyone that can help me ? i don't understand anything about JSON

[olive kernel]

I can't select multiple pictures in the pcs thing anymore?

[steel verge]

You can, they are called frames. One frame is one image/texture.

[steel verge]

trailing comma after y

Does anyone know what the Plugin for this building is?

[mighty mason]

I was trying to do custom bridge barriers

on corners

[misty lantern]

Anyone know Skyway?or like Road below to road plugin?

[mighty mason]

'Cause there were gaps, due to the road being rounded

So I tried to just change the json and texture

s

and it didn't really work lol

I didn't find anything on the forum 'bout it, so if anyone knows how to help me or if it's even possible

I'll appreciate that

these are the changed versions of sprites and code

[slate sable]

does anyone know how to handle this?

[slate sable]

"W":32

[mighty mason]

well it did change something

But it didn't quite give me the result that I wanted?

now that i think of it, it's probably a little complicated to do custom barriers on corners so i'll settle with the gaps

nevertheless, ty for help

[eternal lake]

you can't add custom corner frames

where did you find that it was possible in the first place

[mighty mason]

Nowhere

Just thought of doing that

[eternal lake]

bridge frames take 4 frames

no more, no less

as in for railing

whatever you're trying to achieve is simply not possible

[mighty mason]

So like I said, I'll settle with what I have :*

ty

[eternal lake]

yes you should clean up your frames and just use that

[bleak obsidian]

does anyone know what road this is?

[earnest pendant]

On first image:

• In game sidewalk?
  Second image:

[bleak obsidian]

wow so is there any way to fill such a gap?

[earnest pendant]

Idk,you should ask the image owner yourself.

[bleak obsidian]

tks

Help, I cannot see my Dense Police Station plugin in-game when I transfer the JSON and image in my phone. Haalp.

Here is my codes

[hollow flax]

the file extension is txt. lol

why dont you put it into a folder than convert to zip or plugin file? since the game properly loaded, there is no error with the json if you place the plugin into the right plugins folder.

[main jasper]

Its in the right folder eh...

What should I do? Halp please

[hollow flax]

as i said before, it should be .json.

[main jasper]

what is the website that you may recommend to convert this text into JSON?

I forgot how because I worked in this project 1 year and 6 months ago.

[hollow flax]

just rename it. lol
unchek the "hidden extension" option before you rename it.

also you can rename the file in the game.

[main jasper]

like this?

DensePoliceStation.json

[hollow flax]

yeah

[main jasper]

Ok thanks

Bruh

[main jasper]

My codd

Plugin error T_T

[hollow flax]

Hi guys! I cant collect my offline money and tickets. Every time I try to collect I watch an add but money don't come.
Why should I do?

[bleak obsidian]

How to fix this?

[cedar stone]

Just click ok

[eternal lake]

and where is the "I need help" part

[earnest pendant]

can i restrict choosing the building frame, so it can be only placed with the first frame?

[eternal lake]

no as far as I'm aware

[earnest pendant]

so how should i implement the following functionality
building seems to have only 1 frame when placed but when clicked on it changes the frame

[steel verge]

Try "selectable frames": false

[earnest pendant]

thanks

[eternal lake]

undocumented feature no 39553893535

[steel verge]

There's also "random frame": false to disable a random frame being selected by the game

[earnest pendant]

i'm sorry what
