plugin-support

[raw sleet]

I've already fixed everything, and I'm just waiting for the ban to end

[earnest pendant]

How bad could his plugins be that he got banned

Worse than this

?

[eternal lake]

is this relevant to the conversation?

[earnest pendant]

Yes.

[eternal lake]

if you spam plugins you get the ban

it's as simple as that

[earnest pendant]

So he didn't get banned because of his plugins looking absolute shiat

[eternal lake]

he got banned for spamming poor quality plugins without improvement

[earnest pendant]

Question.

[earnest pendant]

Is this poorly made

[eternal lake]

so far yes

especially since it doesn't use animations

[earnest pendant]

Welp I've seen worse

[eternal lake]

ok?

[wicked frigate]

Looks nice but please use animation

[low shoal]

Show me screeshots of what they look like now

[graceful heart]

what animation?

[raw sleet]

Tell me what to fix if necessary

[low shoal]

The contrst

If you want, i can show you how I would change one

[raw sleet]

That is, make the shadow side darker on all models?

[eternal lake]

that too

contrast is contrast

[low shoal]

some look a little better

but you can still further imrpve them

also, it might be a good idea to work on one at a time

Looking at a reference, i think youre missing much of the detailing

[low shoal]

One more thing, just realised your zip file names arent English, this would create issues so I suggest giving it an English name. Also, crop the empty space from top and bottom

[raw sleet]

Okay, I'm just from Ukraine, I think you understood it, and I'm not very comfortable writing in English😅

[low shoal]

I dont mind, its just that plugin store rules

just something you need to correct

[raw sleet]

No questions bro

That is, I now correct the name of the zip?

[low shoal]

on mobile? go to file manager and press rename

[raw sleet]

Just give me the opportunity to update and install plugins, because I can't do anything

[low shoal]

I dont think the graphics are good enough yet

for the windows, use 80-90% black

[low shoal]

Im the one approving plugins anyway so its not like even if you do get the permission to post that i will approve it till the issues are fixed

[raw sleet]

Shall I post the current version now and then do an update?

I already want to see my plugins in the game😅

[ivory drum]

You doesn't need to upload it to store to see it in game
You can put it in "plugins" file in your device

[low shoal]

you can do that without uploading to the store ^

[raw sleet]

I know that, but for technical reasons I can't do it

[low shoal]

open theotown, in region view open files and then press plugins and import here

[raw sleet]

I tried to do this but there are problems with it and it is exactly the problems with mfatsl manager

[low shoal]

okay wait ill show you them in game

[raw sleet]

If I make new zips now, will you accept them?

[low shoal]

no

you still need to fix the textures

[raw sleet]

Tell me what to fix

[low shoal]

ive already told you multiple times

make the windows darker

make the right side of the roof darker

crop the space around the top and bottom of the plugin

[raw sleet]

Which plugin does this apply to?

[low shoal]

I only checked the plugin files of the one with the green roof but i feel like it might be an issue with all of them

[raw sleet]

.

I will now download all files in high resolution, because there are old versions

[low shoal]

json error

[raw sleet]

I saw it, I don't know why

Let me give you, after you check for errors, I will reset all the models with files, and you check them? because those on the forum are already outdated

[low shoal]

the buildings are placed on the pink tiles

thats what happens when the empty space isnt cropped properly

[raw sleet]

These are old versions, I have already trimmed and fixed everything normally

[low shoal]

you can dm the new versions to me

[raw sleet]

Should I send you a zip or a png?

[low shoal]

zip

kind of late for me right now thougj, id check ot after school tomorrow

[raw sleet]

Ok, I'll send all the zips now

That's not all

That's not all

[low shoal]

did you fic the json in the golden gate one

[low shoal]

also build time is in miliseconds. if you want it to be 7 seconds, you have to write 700

[raw sleet]

I wanted to leave it like that, I think it will be more appropriate

[low shoal]

nah

also one more thing make the json file name also english

overall, nothing with non english characters seem to work in zip files

[raw sleet]

Okay, I'm going to bed already, good night to you, or as they say in Ukraine: Dodranich (добраніч)

[low shoal]

good night

[compact yarrow]

is there a specific order to the pillar layout for brideges?
it never uses the base frame i have for the second set of images

[low shoal]

yes

[compact yarrow]

i get it now
second set is the angle frames

learning as i go

[earnest pendant]

Wrong channel

[raw sleet]

good morning everyone, доброго ранку

[raw sleet]

And 2 plugins that I haven't posted yet

[raw sleet]

Please check my plugins

[low shoal]

you havent fixed the contrast at all

You reallly are not helping yourself by working on multiple plugins at the same time without fixing any issues

And really, if you arent going to listen to me, I dont see how you are going to get unbanned

[graceful heart]

whats contrast??

[graceful heart]

is there any free ios pixel art apps without in-app purchase?

[old wedge]

Asking for an iOS app without ads and in-app purchases is like asking a programmer to develop an app for free, and on top of that, he needs to pay for the privilege...

On PC there are several, just like on Mac, but on iOS you have it complicated, ur options are Pixel Studio, Dotpitc, Resprite and Pixaki, but all their free versions have their limits

[graceful heart]

thx!1!!

[raw sleet]

I hope I explained that, take a look

[eternal lake]

nobody is downloading that, please just post the images here

[eternal lake]

ok?

[radiant rune]

Hello. I heard that the attribute or animation "Colour" is in the game. Tell me how to use it and what its capabilities are.

[tawdry quest]

Hey
What does this mean ??

[radiant rune]

The game cannot find your png file. It is possible that the name of the png file is not correct in the code or it is not in the folder

[tawdry quest]

Thanks

[radiant rune]

?

[slender kettle]

Can I create a plug-in on my phone

[radiant rune]

Yep

[slender kettle]

How can I do it

[slender kettle]

What should I exactly do cause I am very confused

[eternal lake]

see the pins in #plugin-discussion

[radiant rune]

you need any

1. pixel editor (pixel, pixel studio)
2. code editor.

[slender kettle]

Code editor wdym

[slender kettle]

Hmmm

And then

[eternal lake]

???

did you bother reading the provided tutorials...

[wicked frigate]

To make Json or alternatively use PCA

[slender kettle]

There are some pictures and yeah

[eternal lake]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2965

[indigo sierra]

what

[eternal lake]

probably missing some necessary attribute

[slender kettle]

Thanks for helping also I was playing theotown in a much older device and I have lost my old city do you guys know any way to get my old city to my current phone

[eternal lake]

this is not plugin related

but you can simply transfer the city file to your new device (if it still exists of course)

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.

[slender kettle]

Thanks

[slender kettle]

Ok I downloaded the region file now what should I do. I am sorry I am kinda annoying but I I don't know the next step

[slender kettle]

Okay I did it thank you

[white forge]

What happens to "Manifest Files not founded" warning like i see it while i start-up theotown?

[grand spruce]

That's only an issue in Online mode

Those plugins just won't be useable

[eternal lake]

you have a trailing comma

[thick mountain]

2 paws?

[eternal lake]

????

[thick mountain]

You see, I'm missing one of my legs.

[eternal lake]

I don't speak incomprehensible

you have a trailing comma in your last frame object

[thick mountain]

but where's the coma

[eternal lake]

last object in your frame array

after it, specifically

[thick mountain]

I can't understand... Is it in the picture? Or is it in my code? Can I send you the code?

I fixed it.-_-

I should have added paws. "

[eternal lake]

oh yeah that was the error as well

and for further reference, that's called a quotation mark...

[thick mountain]

help pls

[eternal lake]

you didn't fix the trailing coma

comma

last entry in your frames array has a spare comma

[thick mountain]

I'm not stupid, but show me where to put it in the editor.

?

[eternal lake]

comma

you have a comma too much

last object in the "frames" array

[thick mountain]

?

is that what you're talking about?

[eternal lake]

yes

[thick mountain]

yhx

thx

[grave sonnet]

if you're just showcasing #plugin-discussion is better for that lol

[thick mountain]

ow sorry)

[wicked frigate]

Another scam. Any mods online?

@amber willow

@grand spruce sorry to ping you but we got another scammer here

[white pike]

What happens if i imported a managed plugin

[vague scarab]

It'll load,just like any other plugins.

[white pike]

For instance, i have a copy of a managed plugin that I did NOT bought on the plugin store

[vague scarab]

As previously said, it'll load anyway.

[white pike]

Wait, it will?

Okay thanks i just got curious

I remember trying to crack down managed plugins

[hexed coral]

how do I disable vehicle spawning for a hospital building?

tried "car spawner":[], didn't work

(I dont really remember how to control vehicle spawning, and "advanced tags for building plugins" doesn't have it)

[steel verge]

set service cars to 0

[hexed coral]

thanks

[hasty orbit]

I can't see my plugins outside the store that I downloaded from the forum and privately, the sample plugins tab doesn't appear

[eternal lake]

did you put them in the 'plugins' folder

[dense parcel]

Can someone pls tell me how I can decrease the size of the eraser in pixly

And also can you tell me a good way to add texture to in plugins

[cedar gale]

How can I create a road decoration plugin with night graphics?

Thanks man

[sick palm]

I can't seem to see the other deleted plugins I had

[old wedge]

Did you have a long time without entering the game? If they are no longer in the plugin store there may no longer be information about them. You can confirm this by deleting an X plugin and seeing if it loads.

Another option would be that the UI does not load, as simple as reopening the plugin store.

[sick palm]

No, I got a new phone and reinstalled everything I had

[old wedge]

"If they are no longer in the plugin store there may no longer be information about them."

[finite comet]

can i ask some help here? plugin has error.
(i put any "id" but still has error)

just in case you wont get the red comment from the moderator.

[compact yarrow]

i see some plugins that have changed the name of the building with a statement saying "copyright reasons". is there a rule on that or were they just making that up?
asking because im making the UFC main office and performance institute and plan to upload after im finished but dont want it shot down because of a rule i didnt know

[old wedge]

Yes, we have to follow intellectual property rules. This includes Copyright which protects creative works (you cannot use stolen assets, or private assets from another game), and trademarks obviously.

Keep in mind that some buildings are also protected. If you make significant variations to a design, or if you use a enough pixelated version, it might be considered fair use or inspired by so there would be no problem.

For US buildings, I usually check the USPTO trademark search. For other countries, a simple Google search might be enough to see if the building itself is protected, or just the logo.

[compact yarrow]

i can find trademarks on apparel, ring structure, and the old logo but nothing on the building itself or the new logo sooooo u think im good?

also, appreciate the detailed answer. why are u not mod on here? ur more helpful than most

[old wedge]

Yep don't worry, in fact the current UFC logo has a note that says

"The logo image consists only of simple geometric shapes or text. It does not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection, and is therefore in the public domain."

There is always the disclaimer option:

"The plugin author is not affiliated with or endorsed by the UFC. This pixelated image depicts the building at Las Vegas, NV., and no commercial benefit is derived from its use within the plugin."

[vague scarab]

Or you can rename it,like what theowood sign does.

[vestal portal]

I have this on my old phone. I got a new phone and I re-download lots of plugin... but I can't find this one anywhere

Help

[cedar stone]

Probably because it was deleted

[earnest pendant]

I dont believe thats deleted

i think its by steph

[old wedge]

Yep, that specific one is from Steph, but the one from Hadestia is in the forum

[grand spruce]

Our mod team is picked on their ability to help our server. Not on their ability to make plugins and explain their inner workings. I think out of the whole team very few of us actually make plug-ins. I'd much rather more familiar members give accurate responses than someone give you incorrect information on the guidance of being "helpful"

[compact yarrow]

did he give me incorrect information?

[eternal lake]

no, doesn't seem like it, why?

[compact yarrow]

the last line in that response lol

[grand spruce]

That's not what I was implying haha

I was saying if we were to make staff respond to plugin based questions out of their wheelhouse tyen it may lead to incorrect information

[compact yarrow]

i get what ur saying but honestly i just said the mod thing to be nice. however, in the 2 channels i pay attention to in this server, he seems to be active and knowledgeable when responding to other users questions. that seems like a quality that u would want on a mod team for an active game application

[grand spruce]

There are some more convoluted reasons as to his lack of moderation privileges

if not, then turn it on in settings by turning on experimental features then there, after confirming it & turning it on, a whole new option in the settings will pop up, & there you will find support for multiple road decorations

[tawdry quest]

Does anyone know how to use this plugin ??

[hasty orbit]

Where can I find the game's vanilla trees and grass textures?

[old wedge]

World Texture

Tree Graphics

[old wedge]

• First make ur railway layout, but you must put the train stations that the plugin brings you (which do not spawn vanilla trains)

• Open the Train Management panel, select the train you want to place.

• Set route (there is a small visual bug here, which means that you cannot see the route, but it selects, so don't worry) Routes are selected by pressing the platforms/train station.

• Press the Send Off option, so that they can spawn and move around.

• If you see that you must adjust the route, select the Send to Depot option from the panel, and make the route again (Remember to press the Clear Route button).

• If you click on Despawn, they will all go to the depot.

Keep in mind that the plugin does not "pick up" passengers.

[tawdry quest]

Thanks for your help

Well it's using [deleted plugin]

[earnest pendant]

advanced road and diagonal decals

[vague scarab]

Or this alternatively.

[earnest pendant]

that there is diagonal taxiways (now deleted) but you'd get the same effect if not better with advanced road.

[hazy blade]

Oh

Let me try

[tawdry quest]

Need help
Can't find what the problem is

Here's the json file

[cedar stone]

you put an extra space between
"width " and "height "

it should be "width" and "height"

with no spaces

[old wedge]

Some of the tags have extra spaces at the end, like "text ", "meta ", "frames ", "version ", "width ", "height ", and "author ". Those spaces need to be removed.

First time to make road decoration but the animation is always not find, what does it mean?

You're missing an animation, probably in line 3.

[low shoal]

Its that the id doesnt match

So just add a $ there and it will work

[scenic heart]

ah that's it, it was fine before, after edit again the code, one word was deleted

This is if you know what part wrong, maybe it can help me to put the line on the right road

what does this mean by line 20?

[eternal lake]

line 20 is line 20

you can't make it simpler

looks like you're missing a bracket

[earnest pendant]

u have to go into the code

and check line 20

you have to debug by yourself and recode it

[keen bay]

ah, easy

where do i place the bracket exactly though

(i know how to manually recode, but i dont know the advanced stuff

[keen bay]

where do i place the missing bracket??

(i know basic recoding, but not line code editing)

[earnest pendant]

i have no clue

what language

[earnest pendant]

oh it shows

uisssed curly bracket

[keen bay]

aha, this might be the problem

just added another bracket

yolooo

it works

but now a new problem

@eternal lake (just asking one more question) max size is 16 but the mountain size is 24, how do i recode it?

[eternal lake]

you change the width and height

also looks like you have booleans in quotes, you shouldn't

[keen bay]

oh god, what are those....

fixed everything and its time for a test!..🤞

[eternal lake]

you still have bools and integers in quotes

but maybe it'll work? no idea

[keen bay]

no way, it works

but if you squint very hard youll see that it actually deformed the size

it looks intact because i reconstructed the missing portions

well atleast from a distance...

anyways, partial yay cuz it worked

partial nay cuz it deformed lmao

[old wedge]

It is partially cut because you are putting a 24x24 frame into a 16x16 one, you have two options: either cut the frame into 2 and use composition, or resize it.

Or just leave it like that and "rebuild it" as you did 😅

[scenic heart]

Same thing, the other one is still error

[eternal lake]

road decorations are meant to be placed on the road as the name suggests

not beside it

it's simply how the game renders stuff - you can't draw frames below the building's bounds

[scenic heart]

I don't understand why a plugin like advanced road can be like that, is it wrong with the my frame or the code or im misjudged

[eternal lake]

you simply can't and you never could

[scenic heart]

Its like when it was a fence

[eternal lake]

fences can't go below their tile either

[scenic heart]

yeah i know

[scenic heart]

I mean, i cant do a road deco on the beside, but maybe can do a fence to cover it

To people understand the use on the road deco + fence so that it can be both, i will make the category, and to cover both side roads using the flying fence

[old wedge]

Isn't it simpler to do it as a road and thus give it diagonal support? So u can make "car spawn" of some bikes frames defined and work with only ur custom flag?

[scenic heart]

The diagonal thing, im going to make, it's just a first start to learn how to do road deco in advance

[old wedge]

Well, in my opinion you are overthinking, but do it as you like, it's your plugin hahaha

[scenic heart]

Yeeah, i just created this plugin to fill the void, when i ran out of ideas to add new tree and deco props🙃 both plugins are just copy and paste.. i need to sleep now

[polar sun]

Wow, crazy, high quality mountain

[keen bay]

how does THAT work???

now im sorry, i just dont know how to change code....

i know individual mistakes but adding entirely new lines is just..., out of my capability

unless someone tells me how to

[polar sun]

Mountain plugin name pls now have for store?

U can make the base json in PCA with the animation, and add the light keys later. In short, you have to code yourself.

In any case it's just copy and paste, don't complicate it.

How to add rotation frames?

[old wedge]

"rotation aware":true

And put the 2/4 frames, yes.

I don't know if this is supposed to be posted in here but, do know where can I find this tree plugin?

Oh you're doing that as well?

What I did was make 4 variations and placed 2 of the frames in one road deco, and the other 2 in another road deco

[amber willow]

I'm curious how does that work in road deco?

[old wedge]

The animations are compatible with rotation aware, so it's the same, I think I answered it a few days ago.

Can someone tell how I can make a pack of plugins in pca

Like do I just add multiple frames or I have to do something else?

[old wedge]

It all depends on what you want to do, you can make one ID with multiple variations (can be good in cases where you want to make 1 same building with similar variations, this means the width and height must be the same in all frames).

Or if they are already very different buildings, or of different types, you would have to declare multiple drafts/id.

You can do both options with PCA (Thanks Bunny)

It's also not that difficult to make ur own json.

[
  {
    "id": "$buildingpack1",
    "type": "residential",
    "width": 4,
    "height": 4,
    "price": 10000,

[low shoal]

but thats the decoration draft, he needs a new one for the category

[charred palm]

What will it be?

@low shoal help:(

Couldn't this be a mistake?

not related to your code but your plugin isnt really isometric

Lmao

Sorry, I'm just new to that.

Thank you @grand spruce

[grand spruce]

No problem

[old wedge]

Btw tries to put IDs a little more unique, you never know if someone else already had the idea of putting $Residential as ID in another plugin causing an unnecessary error

$Residential_grothcruss1 and you will know that no one will have it 😅

[earnest pendant]

Yeah...

...

Oh really?

[old wedge]

That's because the frame image is not cropped properly. You can fix it with handle x too, but it's easier to crop it.

Not only that, you also need "pedestrians": true, and if you are going to define the size of your sidewalk, u need "sidewalk size" and "sidewalk offset", u read the topic about pedestrians?

[earnest pendant]

try this

[old wedge]

You have a couple of errors, u are missing "level", it's "id" instead of id".

And recommendations, try to put unique IDs, commercials is quite generic.

Add "draw ground":true,

And don't put special characters in your file names, that includes spaces.

Anything else shares a ss of the error code, good luck.

[earnest pendant]

Thanks for telling me the mistakes

This was the building

Eventually you will get better, the right side looks weird, the contrast and shadows need to be improved, but for your second plugin you are doing well.

Left one 2x2 right one 1x1

[grand spruce]

I not the guy that disapproved you, but why exactly are they mid tile?

[mortal owl]

Sorry i dont get it

What is mid tile

[grand spruce]

Look at your ground

Then look at the fact the building is in the middle of the two tiles

Rather than on an end

That is more than likely the issue they have

[mortal owl]

The setback?

[grand spruce]

That's the technical term yeah, but in game terms does that even work?

that would force that 1x1 to be a 1x2

[mortal owl]

Most european plugins in the game has that so i use the same to make this plugin integrated with others

[grand spruce]

Sure

But those that do it, don't pick the shadowed sid eof the building to have the setback on

Which is why they are asking for ground shadow

[mortal owl]

Ok then ill just follow the mod wants and add a little bit of shadow

But my opinion is that this kind of shadow doesnt look good since it has some small gaps between them

[earnest pendant]

make 2 versions then

[hardy robin]

I keep getting an error and I am not sure if its related to plugins but its always after I download a plugin

but not every plugin

on pc

when I restart after downloading

[keen bay]

its a plugin, either you have duplicate files, code errors or "out of memory" errors

[hardy robin]

yes

I can get a ss next time

always looks similiar to this

[keen bay]

if you have duplicate files, that could mean that youve downloaded 2 of the same files, usually happens from downloading forum plugins

[hardy robin]

I only have downloaded through the game

how do I know what the problem is

[keen bay]

ahhh, it seems some plugins arent up to date... or its just the game itself not updating completely

sometimes, some plugin creators dont update their plugins, instead they make an entirely new version of the plugin, causing some errors

[hardy robin]

but if I dont have duplicates>?

then what is problem

[keen bay]

its either somethings wrong with java (which is out of scope for my knowledge) or something else

[hardy robin]

it says out of memory error and java heap space

in it

and java a lot

[keen bay]

yep, thats the problem

[hardy robin]

what is?

how do I try to fix it

[keen bay]

basically youve ran out of memory/storage/RAM for java to run the game

its either 3 of those

[hardy robin]

How do I fix that

if i dont even have that many plugins

well 56

[keen bay]

you could give java more RAM, but thats gonna turn your CPU into a giant industrial oven

[hardy robin]

so not good idea?

so then what

[keen bay]

if you have a beefy computer you can, but for now ill just call someone more experienced with these kinds of problems

[hardy robin]

ok

so what does it do

[earnest pendant]

I don't know the technicals to it

[hardy robin]

and if it immediately says the install did not complete?

[earnest pendant]

I just recognize that error and I believe it's fixed by Java, it won't hurt to try, nor will it cause harm.

[earnest pendant]

Try one of the other options

[hardy robin]

okay

[tulip rock]

If you encounter java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space error, that means that the game ran out of memory (ram) while processing your request or action.

If you're on mobile, there's not much you can do to alleviate this issue, closing other applications in the background might help. For PC, you can simply increase the maximum heap space as a launch argument. For example -Xmx4G will let the game use up to 4 gigabytes of memory. That is, of course if you have enough memory. Generally, it's not a good idea to allocate more than 50% of your entire system memory. If that doesn't work and you're on PC, please check if you have 64 bit Java installed, because if you don't, game can only use 2 gigabytes of memory.

[keen bay]

i literally forgot this command exists on the whole convo 💀

[hardy robin]

I got java

64 bit

so it should be fixed?

[keen bay]

yessss

[hardy robin]

okay cool

[earnest pendant]

Go try

[hardy robin]

I will try to get some plugins and see if it happens anymore

[earnest pendant]

It probably is just a memory issue

I didn't read the entire convo, my bad.

[hardy robin]

oh

so java fixes that?

[earnest pendant]

If it is just memory refer to this #plugin-support message

[hardy robin]

so there is something I should do before installing java 64 bit?

[earnest pendant]

Just go try to install a plugin

[keen bay]

@earnest pendant well he did tell me this ^^^

i installed a plugin with java 64 bit installed that caused error before and nothing wrong yet

[gleaming stirrup]

Let's wait for them to help

[low shoal]

{"id" : "$"
"type": "animation"
"frames": [{"bmp": "image.png"},{"bmp": "image2.png"},{"bmp": "image3.png"}]
}

[hasty orbit]

Thank you

[eager walrus]

Am I doin right? Also should the number and grey part stay in png? Idk if they will appear in game too.

Its too basic because its an example

[low shoal]

wtf did you do

[eager walrus]

Its just an example to show

[low shoal]

the dirst sign its wrong is that the 3 is blurry

or maybe its right

drop a road thinqie on it

[eager walrus]

I gotta delete three and the grey side?

[eager walrus]

what is that duh

[low shoal]

um grey side? girlie that template is too big

thats an enlarged pic

[eager walrus]

I zoomed

lol

it was smaller

[low shoal]

well ill say i believe you

[eager walrus]

So Im goin right?

ig

Also ima delete that grey part at right and the number in the middle

hope it works 😭

[low shoal]

i have 50% confidence that youre doing atleast 50% correctly

[eager walrus]

ok

😭

Am I goin right?

wait I forgot to do something

F

forget that image

[low shoal]

beeeg

i dont think you realise how big that is

[earnest pendant]

what the

oh boy

That is like the size of a building

and your template or whatever what did you do

just use a regular 1x1 tile template

[low shoal]

he zooms he says

[eager walrus]

It was like that in forum.

Wallah I will do whatever I want if I understand how to use the template properly 😭

[low shoal]

yes, youre doing it completely right if you want your sign to be 36 feet tall

[eager walrus]

If everything except the giant road sign is right, Im good

[low shoal]

or 10.8 meters tall

[low shoal]

wait wha

[eager walrus]

I mean the road decoration template was that

I know how to find a 1x1 template lmao

[low shoal]

i dont think my meter one is correct

[earnest pendant]

max you should be making that is like 4 pixels tall

[eager walrus]

lemme just try it in game and then we talk

Ima try to make it a file at first

[earnest pendant]

..okkkkk

[eager walrus]

lemme download bluestacks first

[low shoal]

you really cant make a sign that smol and hath details

oh god

[earnest pendant]

well yeah duh

[low shoal]

youre torturing yourself

[eager walrus]

I said its just a try to see if im doin right or not

Ik its trash

[low shoal]

i have an idea of how painful importing and exporting is

[eager walrus]

So ima make a zip file and then put json code with png in it

right?

[low shoal]

uh

yes

[eager walrus]

ightr

ight*

[low shoal]

i hope you didnt syntax

[eager walrus]

tf is that

nvm

YES

I finally understood

Now ima create masterpieces

[eager walrus]

How do I fix this? (I added "override":true but didnt work)

ah damn isnt there any one available rn😭

[earnest pendant]

available*

[eager walrus]

Ik Ik I typed it wrong

Saw it rn

Wallah bro why isnt there anyone answering

[earnest pendant]

just change your id or something then

[eager walrus]

how do I do it duh

Might be because I use decoration json code from forum but even if I add "override":true properly (i guess), it still somehow doesnt work and there appears to be another error.

[eager walrus]

Wait wait wait I found how to do it

How tf didnt I see it lol

Nvm I finally made it

thanks God I understood. Now I can make everything I want. Btw, still thanks for Bunny and eggo, they tried to help me

[vivid wagon]

Do I get sth from uploading a plugin?

[vapid umbra]

Do you think it's ready to upload?

[vivid wagon]

Yes

I would be first one to download it

This looks 🔥

[low shoal]

Diamonds!

But they accumilate slowly

[vague scarab]

And patience is the key.

[eager walrus]

Guys I extended the image while using paint.net but when It comes to game it seems something like that. Do any of yall know the solution for that?

[earnest pendant]

put your image back to the original dimensions of a 1x1

[eager walrus]

Did something like that

still thanks tho

It worked

[earnest pendant]

How do u make ur own plugins?

[low shoal]

you start by drawing graphics on a pixel drawing app

[earnest pendant]

Can I do it on my phone or do I have to do it on computer? And does any pixel drawing app work?

[low shoal]

you can do iy on phone and you also can on pc, id recommend pc if you have one due to the apps having more functionality
for the app, id recommend you use one that you can turn off anti aliasing and has layers. would be preferable to be able to copy in images on to the canvas also

[earnest pendant]

Oki thank u! I will start with that.

[low shoal]

youre welcome, good luck

i recommend looking through the forum before you start

unless you know what youre doing

[earnest pendant]

What is the forum?

[low shoal]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2965

[earnest pendant]

Oki thanks I will check that. I’m very new to the game so that will prob be very helpful.

[signal spindle]

Does anyone have a Plugin for a Dam?

The template just flags and capacity.

"frames"

[old wedge]

Pretty sure random frames it's a boolean attribute

[low shoal]

i think so yeah

[vague scarab]

But i want the frames to be randomized.

[low shoal]

"frames": [()],
"random frame": true

lemme check if thats correct

1 min

[vague scarab]

Lemme test it then,
Trying "frames":[null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null]

[low shoal]

it says frame array

so i assume that means the stuff under "frames"

[vague scarab]

Let's try:

    "frames":[
      {"x":0,"y":0,"w":0,"h":0,"copies":7}
    ],

[low shoal]

my god, kiki

[old wedge]

And does that work on a train car type?

[low shoal]

random frames ia a bool

i hope you moved all the frames under its actual attribute

[vague scarab]

Ah...
Got it,that true/false/null?

[low shoal]

true/false

[old wedge]

That Indonesia Transportation Pack will reach a point where it will be better for you to do it in Lua than to continue expanding it with JSON 😅

With lua you can make that in idk 25 lines of code? And that includes the array with all your frames of ur train cars

[steel verge]

thats only for buildings

[low shoal]

oooh well the descroiption doesnt give much info

which is why im glad youre doing that website

but i couldnt find it there

[steel verge]

because I didn't document car-based types yet

[low shoal]

i figured

but its going to be very useful when its done

[steel verge]

there's a bazzilion more drafts

[low shoal]

oh gosh, good luck

[dense parcel]

Can someone tell me how to claim my diamonds

[low shoal]

as easy as editing the number and pressing claim

[dense parcel]

It'll just go into my game instantly?

[low shoal]

no

pidroid will send you a code

[tulip rock]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/710736553907060826/882324581032022016/TEST.jpg

[low shoal]

then you redeem it

[dense parcel]

Oh!

Now I get it

Thank you so much

[low shoal]

youre welcome, enjoy your rewards, you earnt it

[dense parcel]

Can someone tell me how I can break my plugins up into different parts. Like the Brandenburg airport plugin where it is put together like a puzzle.

[old wedge]

Simply "cut" the design into parts so that you can do it in different frames, it doesn't have much science to be honest.

I recommend that you use compositions and make it rotation aware, so it won't break when you rotate the building.

[dense parcel]

Oh so I just make it on a template and just cut it out into different bases. Well that's rather simple

[idle quarry]

How does one get diamond redeem code

[low shoal]

have you made any plugins?

[idle quarry]

Not till now but eager to learn how to and start making..

[low shoal]

Ah, you can redeem them the same page as you upload them

But you need plugins to earn diamonds and need minimum of 100 to redeem

[idle quarry]

Well is there any easy tutorial on how to make plugins

[eternal lake]

check the pins in #plugin-discussion for the getting started page

[eager walrus]

I made these bollards as a road decoration (its just a test dont ask me for texture and the way I put them) but I cant put them on intersections as It seems in the screenshot. What code do I need to use to fix that? Or is there any other issue?

[eager walrus]

What's that?

[eternal lake]

road deco attributes

see the tutorial and give them a look

[eager walrus]

ah thanks

Im directly adding them to the code right?

[eternal lake]

?

well, yes?

[eager walrus]

Will it work if I add it there? I just dont know if the place of it matters

[eternal lake]

jesus christ.

[eager walrus]

wha

[eternal lake]

what the hell.

[eager walrus]

wdym what the hell

😭

[eternal lake]

json in godforsaken wordpad

[eager walrus]

Yes

?

[eternal lake]

every day we stray further from god

[eager walrus]

Nah bro its just wordpad wdym

[eternal lake]

anyway, is there a problem

attribute ordering doesn't matter in json

[eager walrus]

Lemme try in game to see if it works

Well I can build on an intersection but it doesnt show up

[eternal lake]

then it's a problem with your indices

[eager walrus]

I gotta do some changes on png ig

[eternal lake]

no?

well, unless you want special frames for x crossings

[eager walrus]

I want it to be built on every road and every crossing like advanced road plugin

[eternal lake]

it already can be built on crossings

you just didn't adjust your indices appropriately

[eager walrus]

but Its not visible

[eager walrus]

wait a bit

these things?

[eternal lake]

indices

not animations themselves

[eager walrus]

How can I fix it then? What do I need to add to json

[old wedge]

"frame animation indices" men, u already have it, just need to fix it

[eager walrus]

how? Im asking for years 😭

[old wedge]

Pretty sure that in the same tutorial there is an image explaining the indices

[eternal lake]

"how" nobody is writing jsons for you pal

you have to understand how it works yourself

[eager walrus]

"symmetric dirs":true ig

[eager walrus]

I am trying to understand my lad

[eternal lake]

...what does this have to do with anything

[eager walrus]

I gotta make it false

[eternal lake]

it is already false by default

[eager walrus]

There isnt a thing about it in the json code I found from forum

I think I found it now

[eternal lake]

?

[eager walrus]

Still not working

[eternal lake]

and what did you change

[eager walrus]

I added "symmetric dirs":false

But when I put it on a crossing the decoration is still unvisible

[eternal lake]

of course it doesn't do anything

I told you it's false by default

that attribute has nothing to do with visibility

you've already been told what you should do

[eager walrus]

I dont know how to do the thing you told me

?

[eternal lake]

The last part is the most important one: We have to tell the game when to show which animation object. By default, all animations are drawn for every frame (so we don't use frame/alignment awareness yet). Normal roads have 16 frames (as defined here), so we have to tell for each frame manually which of the provided animation obejects to use. That can be done by populating the arrays frame animation indices and frame animation fg indices with 16 sub arrays. Each of these sub arrays contains a list of the corresponding animation objects that should be used (indexed by 0 and 1 as we have only two animations for animation and animation fg)

[eager walrus]

I didnt understand anything 😭 What do I just need to change there? Then I will understand.

[eternal lake]

reading the last sentence is the only thing you need

[eager walrus]

ima try

😭💀

[old wedge]

Btw, in the same topic there is the reference image so you know how each indice is positioned
