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.

[low shoal]

follow the directionary and place it inside "plugin" folder

on android, use the in game file manager

unless you wanna go through like 5 stages of hell

[earnest pendant]

Is this?

[low shoal]

yeah

press the plugin folder, press import here then file

then select the zip folders

[earnest pendant]

Ok

Thanks leeting me

Ah, no matter what I do, it won't be reflected (LOL)

[low shoal]

nah

if you restarted

you can find it in its categories

[earnest pendant]

Seriously? ? May not be found

[low shoal]

are you sure youre looking in the right places?

it wont be shown in the all plugins category

or in the plugin menu (unless it has a manifest file) which i dont think they do

[low shoal]

i just said it wont show there

try looking in power

or industry level 3

[earnest pendant]

Ok

What about manual architecture?

[low shoal]

did you find the battlestation thing?

i actually have no idea, i could check but im too tired to do all the steps

[earnest pendant]

No, no matter how much I try, I can't find it. I'll give up this time.

@low shoal Thank you for your help. I'm sorry that your efforts are half wasted...

How to make plug-ins

[earnest pendant]

Ptag creation

[tulip rock]

Step 1: Download a baseplate of your choice It is recommended to keep it small if you are just starting.
Step 2: Download a pixel drawing app. It is recommended that you get one with layers and transparency options. You can find a list of suggested options here
Step 3: Here are some tutorials that show how to make a house. One by Theo and one by Kulche
Here's a tutorial by rtobby that provides tips on improving the plugin quality
You may find more tutorials in the getting started page and on the forum
And even more tips pinned in plugin discussion
Step 4: Last step is to create a json. You can create one by using PCA or use this tutorial here to make one. To make one manually, you can use any text app which allows you to save files as a .json
Feel free to ask for help or suggestions on the forum or on the server

Bonus step: Once done, you can upload your plugin on the store which once approved can be downloaded in-game by anyone or post it on the forum showcase or both! Remember that store plugins must oblige to the store rules

[low shoal]

Depends on what you're making

[open dragon]

House

[languid copper]

What app do people use to make plugins? I'm using IbisX to make a Ford Field plugin but the pixels seem way too small

I can't get it right

[worldly fiber]

try changing the canvas size

and most people use pixly and pixel studio

but I use procreate

[low shoal]

some people do use ibisX you just need a veryyyyyy small canvas (32 w) and a brush thats 1 pixel

[open dragon]

paint.studio

Yeah but it's over

[heady steeple]

@proud scarab you don't know that

[proud scarab]

I mean I' was taking exams and finished yesterday

I guess it's different for where you are

Hey how can I make the cemetery work

[eternal lake]

"provide aspect body disposal": value

[royal falcon]

Okay, thanks

So?

[eternal lake]

???

[royal falcon]

Is this okay?

[eternal lake]

no????

[royal falcon]

I'm trying everything but it doesn't work

[eternal lake]

because you didn't even do what I told you to do

2 of those attributes don't exist, and there's a syntax error in the third

[royal falcon]

This is weird

[eternal lake]

no it is not lmao

[royal falcon]

I already tried one by one

[eternal lake]

show us your json

[royal falcon]

It already worked, it was only one character in One aspect

It was a ,

[low shoal]

I thought body disposal was privileged

[eternal lake]

it no longer is

[low shoal]

misinformation on the privileged forum

since when

[eternal lake]

a few months at least

if not more

[low shoal]

i told the guy the other day it was privileged

[eternal lake]

skill issue

[low shoal]

no one tells me about these changes

[steel verge]

Only certain values are restricted

[low shoal]

thats as abstract as it gets, do i get an elaboration?

in dms, if thats not meant to be public information

[steel verge]

abstraction is covering my lack of remembrance

[low shoal]

i assume thats where the game caps plugins as op?

[steel verge]

plugin classification as OP is done by DSA

Will move it out eventually

[low shoal]

that doesnt really answer if the op cap is the same as the restricted values

[steel verge]

the OP detection limits are based off values that are used by in-game buildings

should probably run some model to determine it automagically

[nimble owl]

Which application to make plugin?

[dense dagger]

😧

[earnest pendant]

Hiii, this is my first plugin. I am absolutely sure it meets all criteria to be added into the game :)

(Just joking. I made this in about an hour and a half, but I feel it could be a good idea for a first plugin. It's very unfinished, but what do you think at the moment? Anything I could add or change?)

((also whoops I forgot to trim the upper part of the image))

[cosmic charm]

i think you should make the trees a bit fluffier

[magic olive]

What are the best settings for the SIV shader??? I need a good one

[low shoal]

dont move anything other than hue too much

[low shoal]

you can have a look at the changes I made

[earnest pendant]

Wow whaaat that looks so professional! I love itt

I'll definitely take a look at it. I'm still learning how to use noise tools in Gimp so I'll try to imitate yours. Also, thank you so much for doing most of the work, but I still wouldn't want to just steal it so I'll try to do some more things 😂

[earnest pendant]

Whenever you have the time, I have two questions. Why did you make the pool transparent, to add a water tile below or something? Andd are the trees and ground textures from the game itself / Lobby, or did you make them yourself?

[low shoal]

I made the pool transparent because I used draw ground false. This means that it will have water underneath. It also means there will be animation of the water so it's not static.
Yes, both the grass and trees are vanilla. The concrete is a 60 darkness grey with 30 value noise (basically how kulche said the game does it)

You can have it if you like

[earnest pendant]

Ohhh, I think I understand. Thank you :)

[earnest pendant]

Well thanks! I still feel like modifying a few things bc for example idk if the color of the house convinces me. But I'll def use your noise for reference

(omg I just realized you did the json and everything lmao. I'll check that later too)

[low shoal]

I used the same colours as you did for the house. You used a very yellowish brown, I generally use a more reddish one

[low shoal]

I used pca for the json cause I didn't feel like doing an actual song, but pca does the job well enough

[earnest pendant]

Ahhh yeah maybe that fits better. And ik it's the same one lol, I didn't look up any reference or so but I might do now

[earnest pendant]

I understand (I don't really understand but I'll look it up later)

[eternal lake]

I don't think she meant "song" there lol

Ptag pca

[tulip rock]

Plugin creator app (PCA) is a website to create plugins for the game using a UI interface.

It can be accessed at https://pca.svetikas.lt/

[low shoal]

I meant pca, stupid autocorrect

[earnest pendant]

Ohhh okay I see, thank you all <3

[magic olive]

What’s the HUE?

[low shoal]

not hue, sorr, temprrature

red to the left and blue to the right

[solar hollow]

Can you guys make a nuclear power plant chernobyl

I dare everyone

[somber wasp]

I think we have explosive nuclear plant 🌝

[earnest pendant]

Hey, so I tried to remake that house I made a few days ago, this time using in-game assets, shadows, noise... and everything as professionally as I can right now. My idea is that this is a small, but fancy, dark wooden house (level 2 residential building).

But I'm pretty sure I'm missing something, because the house doesn't look that good (it's the only thing whose textures I made myself lol). Can anyone give me clues on why? Also, do you think I did good with the shadows? (For the trees I used those in the game's assets)

(And also, this is the right channel to ask about this right? Or is it #plugin-discussion ?)

[low shoal]

Looks nice

Perhaps make that top window smaller

[ornate ridge]

How do I make a plugin?

[heady steeple]

@ornate ridge hi! If your wanting to make a plugin the best place to start is the pinned comments in #plugin-discussion

[ornate ridge]

Ohh okay tysm!

[earnest pendant]

Okayy thanks :) I might not be able to work on it for a few days but I'll check on it afterwards

(also let's ignore I forgot to add a chimney ☠️)

[heady steeple]

It must have electric heating

[earnest pendant]

Ohhhh- yeeeaaaahhhh that's totally what I was going for

Thanks for reminding me :)

I'm kinda requesting for help here. How can you even make night animation for a skyscraper that has split frames (This I mean the animation for tall building)?

[grand spruce]

You maybe waiting abit for anyone with experience to be useful for this, but my guess would be that you would split the night animation just as you would the building?

[lime blade]

I actually thought of the same thing. I'll try it.

[somber wasp]

Flatiron

[low shoal]

The building is currently suspended on the store and not available on the store until the author fixes an issue with it

dosent hurt to try /shrug

am i going in the right direction here? (just stitching up codes rn)

I only know how to code for buildings

[eternal lake]

then why would you answer???

did you change anything about pos?

also, you only provide 4 frames, diagonal cars need 8

[trail furnace]

leaving it like that, not sure what to do with it yet

[trail furnace]

count: 8?

should be something like this right

[eternal lake]

probably

refer to the cars tutorial to see the ordering

[trail furnace]

mhm

oh should just be like this then, wouldnt have to add the uh.. isometric ones since its just a inherit

id needs to be the trucks on the vanilla game right?

how do i find the id for the ingame trucks?

you'd have to use the provided coordinates and look it up on the world texture

[trail furnace]

okay, right

[trail furnace]

its on the 2048_1024 world texture but i dont understand how to mark down the x and y coordinates

[eternal lake]

you add the x and offset x

or locate the "offset x_offset_y" texture atlas and then use x/y

[trail furnace]

sorry, what do i do/use to locate it, never touched coordinates and stuff-

[eternal lake]

what do you mean "what do I use"

it's coordinates

[eternal lake]

wait your turn like everybody else

I was literally doing plugin approvals today. I think disapproving like 30 plugins deserve to let the store rest for a little bit 😌

[calm latch]

Is the support for old school plugins where any players cpuld edit the files discontinued?

[eternal lake]

no, why?

[calm latch]

Oh its just i m seeing less of those type of plugins nowadays.

All these new ones are .plugin

Feels sad cause u cant edit them urself

[eternal lake]

.plugin files are encrypted and plugin store ready

well, not exactly, since that format is being phased out and replaced by .ttplugin

Reset the game first (with the red button on the top right). Then, you'll be able to use the plugin. The section where it appears depends on the type of plugin (Guessing this one might be in decorations?)

also with bigger resolution

[astral hill]

what about the zip

of the fence

[lament hinge]

you jsut have to wirte a json code

for the night animation

[astral hill]

ik

bruh idk how to increase the resolution

can i just screenshot it from the pixly

[lament hinge]

yeah

[lament hinge]

...

do you know how big it is?

[astral hill]

the width and height?

[lament hinge]

height

it is very tall

theotown person is 3 pixels tall

[astral hill]

so fence can not be tall?@lament hinge

[lament hinge]

do you plan to publish it?

[astral hill]

nah

[lament hinge]

ok, but your fence is actually higher than a lot of theotown buildings

[astral hill]

uhhh, bcuz i want to use it as a decoration for a tall building

so that's why i made it tall

[lament hinge]

hmm okay

[astral hill]

i see a taller fence than mine in the forum tho

btw, what do you need the picture for?

[sacred ember]

I think I broke you yesterday

Sword go woosh

[lament hinge]

i just wanted to see how is your plugin looking

[astral hill]

ah, ok

so what about the code?

json code

[lament hinge]

there is a tutorial on youtube how to make a night animation json

[astral hill]

i already try the normal night anim code but it won't rendered

[astral hill]

bruh it didn't work

pls help @profesionals

[keen lava]

Please some Recommendation

[hasty fable]

Add more decoration under and top of building

[eternal lake]

remove the horrid white brush

[keen lava]

Later

[eternal lake]

this is absolutely hideous.

the shapes are alright but what on earth is that white stuff???

[keen lava]

What

[eternal lake]

I'm talking about the white scribbles all over your building

[eternal lake]

not sure if that's a very good representation but I'm talking about the ones on the right side

[keen lava]

The right side

It gonna be this

I just make the glass first

[astral hill]

bruh no one know how to code night animation for fence?

anyone?

this damn thing is making me depressed

[hasty fable]

Have you try with a basic night animation code to your fence?

[astral hill]

yes, but it won't render

[hasty fable]

Have you set the right coordinates for the night animation frame? (x & y)

[astral hill]

i already try to set it above 50 and 100 (y) but its still the same

[hasty fable]

Nah man i dont know anymore, maybe u shoul ask creator that make plugin lamp as fence or lamp expansion or whatever i forgot it

[astral hill]

who bruh..?

tell me if you know some of them

[low shoal]

Set it to a - coordinate

[astral hill]

wdym?

[low shoal]

Negative, typically like -9 or something works for fences

[astral hill]

oh, i will try it

[heavy solstice]

Why I can't make building price?

[low shoal]

because RCI doesnt allow for it anymore

[astral hill]

bruh it didn't work 😭

[low shoal]

heres what I used, probably inefficient and excessive but it works

[astral hill]

wow, i never expect it will be that long

[low shoal]

the exact coordinates will depend on the actual frames

[low shoal]

as i said, its probably inefficient because i forgot how animations worked

and a lot of lines are just formatting

[astral hill]

its ok, anyway thx for the code i will try it out

[heavy solstice]

Why?

So how to make the price?

[stiff ice]

Choose a type other than RCI

[low shoal]

It doesn't use price anymore

[heavy solstice]

How?

[heavy solstice]

So the building is free?

[low shoal]

I suppose so

[stiff ice]

Change the type

[lament hinge]

how do i make a code for the night animation?

[distant sluice]

{ "id": "put whatever you want", "type": "animation", "frames": [ { "bmp": "your frames.png", "w":whatever width of your frame, "x":whatever height of your frame, "count": //depends on how many frames are there in your sample image// } ], "light": true, "light switching": true },

something like that

[lament hinge]

thanks

[heavy solstice]

How?

[eternal lake]

you pick a different one...

it ain't that hard

[distant sluice]

damn, id just put price: 1,

lemme recheck my codea

[low shoal]

Even before I think a price automatically gets assigned

[distant sluice]

isnt the price is how much for 1 tile?

like if the building had 4 tiles and the price is inputted as 5, it will be 20?

and it increases as building count increases, just like zones

👼

[low shoal]

Actually

Probably the case with RCI

[distant sluice]

hmm

[signal star]

https://pca.svetikas.lt/docs/guides/bus-stops/

Is this working code? I think the article is too old or incorrect. I tried to create a plugin with this code in the summer, but it didn't work

[eternal lake]

define "didn't work"

[distant sluice]

supposed to work personally

i think i made an edited version of that bus stop

but i misplaced the bustop plugin at a BACKUP file

soo unreachable untill i pressure Google to do so

[astral hill]

does someone knows how to remove unknown night anim ?

i try to change different x and y num but its still the same

[distant sluice]

wow

🗿

[astral hill]

you know how to fix it?

mein sir

[distant sluice]

likely the frames

usually you need a frame that moves the other way

[astral hill]

i already use that

but its still the same

[distant sluice]

frames 0,1,2,3, change to frames 1,2,3,0

soo you just flip the original offset

yeah i think thats how it is supposed to work

[astral hill]

i already tried it

[distant sluice]

hmm

[astral hill]

and yeah its still the same

[distant sluice]

try seperate animation file for that

like a new one

[astral hill]

aight

[distant sluice]

(duplicate but with different frame allignment(

[distant sluice]

i did that when my buildings are at different offset

[astral hill]

if is not working ig is the frames are corrupted or something

[distant sluice]

gib gib gib

[karmic palm]

The texture looks normal but when i tested the building i found that the building are higher then the zone so what i should do?

[eternal lake]

crop your image

[karmic palm]

How?

[eternal lake]

...by cropping it

I can't make it any simpler

[karmic palm]

Oh

Thx

So i Don't leave leave the bkank

Blank*

I wall ask gpt

[eternal lake]

of course you don't

what

[ornate zodiac]

The animation needs to go beyond the scope limit of the building so I need to have an animation beyond the scope of the 3*3 building in the bottom left and bottom right of two of the frames, but after I actually made it I realized that he was truncated by the boundary

[low shoal]

By design

Why do you need to exceed the baseplate

[distant sluice]

lower the offset

[low shoal]

no, then theyere will still be lots of empty space underneath the building

[undone geode]

I have a question,I'm moving my theotown acc to another device, but, will the plugins that are from forum/discord also moved? Or I have to transfer the files?

[vague scarab]

Only online regions and store downloaded plugins are moved (tho you need to re-download the plugins again).

To transfer files from one device to another:

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.

[zealous eagle]

How do I write code for animating a flag?
What does the basic code look like? Can someone help me, please?

[tawdry quest]

@low shoal why is the game showing me this

[low shoal]

you put a tt plugin file in another plugins folder

[tawdry quest]

So where do I put these ??

[low shoal]

plugin folder

[tawdry quest]

Where ??

[eternal lake]

jesus christ

did you put all your plugins into the sample plugin lol

your plugins go directly into the "plugins" folder and nowhere else

[tawdry quest]

Wat da hail 💀😭

How can i use the .ttplugin ??

[eternal lake]

exactly as I said

[kindred cape]

Where can I download the construction and alianzarena plugins?

[ancient musk]

Que recomiendan que agregue o haga falta.
That they recommend that i add (lo saque de traductor)

[tawdry quest]

From Forums and Plugin Store

[kindred cape]

what does it look like

[tawdry quest]

Check your DM

[vague scarab]

Idk what happened and i didn't change anything since the last update with the translation files.

[eternal lake]

it's almost like we can do anything with a screenshot of the file and not its contents

[vague scarab]

Alr

Here's the files.

[eternal lake]

no idea then

my only bet would be not matching ids

[vague scarab]

It does match.

[zealous eagle]

@low shoal Help me, where did it go wrong

[eternal lake]

you're missing a brace

opening brace count must match closing brace count

[low shoal]

the ending on }

[zealous eagle]

Where?

[eternal lake]

between lines 14 and 15

[low shoal]

after speed, press enter

[zealous eagle]

Is that correct?

[eternal lake]

no you're missing a comma

[zealous eagle]

So, should I remove the braces?

[eternal lake]

no?

you're missing a comma

[zealous eagle]

I added the comma, but it still frequently errors.

[eternal lake]

show your current json

[zealous eagle]

Can I message you privately?

[eternal lake]

if that is your preference

[terse gyro]

Plis someone help me

[stiff ice]

Wth

[lone heron]

Im not dealing with this one

[stiff ice]

[low shoal]

where in the word did you get this json from

theres straight up gibberish in that json

[terse gyro]

I fixed it :))))

[terse gyro]

Plugin creator

[terse gyro]

Yeah, I fixed this stuff

[low shoal]

nice

good job

[terse gyro]

But i have a small problem

What's wrong with it?

[low shoal]

you forgot draw ground true

and your baseplate size is incorrect

looks like that shouldve been a 2x2

[terse gyro]

Oh god

[terse gyro]

That 's right, actually is 2x2

[low shoal]

remove any extra space below and on the sides of the 2x2

and ideally, any empty space on top as well

[terse gyro]

Thanks ma'am

[ornate zodiac]

Why is this happening? Did I do something wrong?

[stiff ice]

[low shoal]

An elaboration on what the issue is would be nice

[ornate zodiac]

I did a night animation for the plane, but he only used the first and third frames, the same animation I put on the vehicle without this problem

This animation corresponds to the plane, a total of 4 frames

[low shoal]

Actually, i think that is by design

planes only fly in 2 directions

even vanilla ones

I think the other 2 gets used while landing

[tribal willow]

I gotta go study and Im new but. Can someone help me make marina bay sands. It would be my first plugin

I have no experience in anything

Gotta go

[low shoal]

Hello, we are more than happy to teach you how to make plugins

Ptag creation

[tulip rock]

Step 1: Download a baseplate of your choice It is recommended to keep it small if you are just starting.
Step 2: Download a pixel drawing app. It is recommended that you get one with layers and transparency options. You can find a list of suggested options here
Step 3: Here are some tutorials that show how to make a house. One by Theo and one by Kulche
Here's a tutorial by rtobby that provides tips on improving the plugin quality
You may find more tutorials in the getting started page and on the forum
And even more tips pinned in plugin discussion
Step 4: Last step is to create a json. You can create one by using PCA or use this tutorial here to make one. To make one manually, you can use any text app which allows you to save files as a .json
Feel free to ask for help or suggestions on the forum or on the server

Bonus step: Once done, you can upload your plugin on the store which once approved can be downloaded in-game by anyone or post it on the forum showcase or both! Remember that store plugins must oblige to the store rules

[low shoal]

read the tutorial above and let me know if you have any questions

[tribal willow]

If I'm on hyperos how do I add the coding.is it on the json format?

[low shoal]

Yes, code is always json unless you're doing something complicated, you can use Lua for more complex stuff

[tribal willow]

How do I insert it then?

[distant sluice]

hmm

German school?

[terse gyro]

No sir. It's the first plugin I made, and I call it German house, but it's not real in real life because I'm not German

[polar sun]

How?

😔

[vague scarab]

Missing comma

[polar sun]

Comma?

Command?

Where

I don't know what's wrong

[polar sun]

Where?

[earnest pendant]

Unless there's a missing comma in the things you blurred out, I can't see anything

[earnest pendant]

I think you forgot the square brackets ("[ ]") where the .json should be contained (place them at the beginning and end of code, respectively), unless that error screen doesn't show them

It's always the little details that bother the most with coding 😂 it's always good to check the examples in the forums, for example

[low shoal]

did you close the quote after the id?

[polar sun]

Yes?

[polar sun]

Thanks

💀

Help

Oh

I think rn what's wrong

'

This

[hollow flax]

why? lol

[polar sun]

Mmm

[hollow flax]

you forgot JSON [ <- this { }, { } ] <- this

[polar sun]

Ooooooo

Ok

[polar sun]

.....I'm really.. really last needs support

💀

[low shoal]

remove the comma after people: 999

[polar sun]

Ohh

Really thx

[lime blade]

What is the attribute given to night animations in order for it switch between frames?

Say I have 3 night animation frames, I make it switch from one to another but the speed at which it switches was a bit annoying.

[low shoal]

"speed":?

theres also handle interpolation but i dont think thats what youre looking for here

[lime blade]

Ohk thanks

Hold up though, should I place "speed": beside all the animation frames?

[low shoal]

no, its an attribute for the animation itself

[lime blade]

Ohk

[lime blade]

Is it greater the value the faster?

[low shoal]

yeah

i think you can use decimals

[lime blade]

Ohk thanks. I'll try

[tribal willow]

I need a pixel art app which let's me draw on photos (need a make some geisha holograms)

[tribal willow]

And I suck at coding

Like reallllly bad

[low shoal]

[low shoal]

[tawdry quest]

@low shoal whats wrong with this ??

[lone heron]

"draw ground": true,

and itll be fixed

[tawdry quest]

@naive plank

Can you fix this

[lament hinge]

who can make night animation code for my plugin?

[eternal lake]

and what is the problem

nobody is writing your entire json

[lament hinge]

i need only night animation code

[eternal lake]

refer to the animation tutorial

[lament hinge]

i dont know an app for json coding, and i didnt understand that tutorial in the forum

[eternal lake]

any text editor will do

[lament hinge]

will windows text document work?

[eternal lake]

yes

but you should consider vsc or something more specialised

[lament hinge]

oh okay, so i have to download json addition in vsc?

[eternal lake]

no?

just open it

[lament hinge]

and create json file?

[eternal lake]

if you don't have any

[lament hinge]

so how do i paste the night animation code in the current json of plugin?

should i add anything or just paste it

[eternal lake]

I'm not sure how to explain how to paste things

you just paste it?

[lament hinge]

[
{
"id":"myanimation",
"frames":[ {
"bmp":"myanim.png"
"move x":5 //In moment number 1,
//our animation will be in x 5
"move y":16 //and in y 16
},{
"bmp":"myanim.png"
"move x":10 //In moment number 2,
//our animation will be in x 10
"move y":16 //and in y 16
}

     ]
     "handle interpolation":5 //5 ticks between
     //moment 1 and moment 2
 }

]

should i just paste this?

[eternal lake]

depends whether you have custom night frames or not

[lament hinge]

i have custom

[eternal lake]

then you would

https://pca.svetikas.lt/docs/guides/lights-and-night-animations/

[eternal lake]

please crop it

[lament hinge]

i know, i will downscale it

it was just an example

[lament hinge]

thanks

[lament hinge]

what height, width, and x, y do i put here?

[eternal lake]

count is 1, or no attribute at all

since you only have 1 frame

and with no count image width and height is irrelevant

[lament hinge]

oh so it stays 32, 32?

[eternal lake]

and x, y stand for animation position

why would it be 32

[lament hinge]

how do i align it correctly to the building?

[eternal lake]

your image is clearly not 32x32, I also told you that you don't need any of those attributes here

[eternal lake]

you count the pixels

0,0 is the leftmost pixel of the tile

y axis is inverted (for whatever reason)

[lament hinge]

oh so i have to delete that part?

[eternal lake]

you probably should

[lament hinge]

somewhere her?

[lament hinge]

ok

[eternal lake]

leftmost pixel of the base

[lament hinge]

oh so the left end of the 7 x 7 base

[eternal lake]

yes

[lament hinge]

ok, thanks for help

[eternal lake]

you're welcome

[lament hinge]

so to go up i have to put it in x?

[eternal lake]

?????

[lament hinge]

so if y is inverted, it has to look something like this

[eternal lake]

I mean multiplied by -1

not rotated by 90 deg

(neither of which are "inverse", but whatever)

[lament hinge]

oh okay, but where should i take the base point of the night animation?

[eternal lake]

(it's not like you are a math major anyway)

[eternal lake]

top left pixel of the frame

[lament hinge]

?

[eternal lake]

top left

[eternal lake]

of the night frame

[lament hinge]

so the same

but on other png

[naive plank]

Apologies I'll try to fix it i also noticed that a tractor has a problem too but don't expect it to be accepted soon you know

Tell me if there is anything else while you wait

[tawdry quest]

No Problem

[tawdry quest]

I will inform you

[naive plank]

When I rewrote the code It seems like I didn't add the template for the seeder somehow

[dark dawn]

Shouldn't Draw ground true be set as default

Especially concerning PCA

[naive plank]

I wish

Good afternoon, I am addressing the moderators, I have 8 plugins waiting for review, some of them have been waiting for exactly 3 weeks, my nickname is Energodarec55

[trail furnace]

what kind of plugins you published?

[lament hinge]

you just have to wait

they are also people

[raw sleet]

I understand, I will wait, I just really want them to be accepted)

[lament hinge]

why the code is not going down

[eternal lake]

press enter

I thought you can't get more basic computer science than that

[lament hinge]

i know lol

[lament hinge]

nevermind

[slow lantern]

what programs to use to make a plugin

[lament hinge]

i use aseprite

[slow lantern]

ok

cool

thaks

[lament hinge]

you have to buy it

[slow lantern]

repost

[lament hinge]

are you on phone?

[slow lantern]

yes

[lament hinge]

oh okay, so you coldnt even dowload aseprite at that point

you can use pixel studio

it is on phone

[slow lantern]

oke

tenk ju

[twilit vapor]

Pixly

that's the og app

but it got deleted for no reason

[earnest pendant]

Meaning we can't use it tho

[twilit vapor]

I have it lol

[earnest pendant]

That's only you, other people don't have it

[twilit vapor]

are you a hater like

[vague scarab]

There's no deletion without a reason.
Pixly possibly didn't meet google minimum API version.

[twilit vapor]

People still have it bruv

[twilit vapor]

maybe but pixly is updating regularly

[vague scarab]

There's alternatives in new pin in #plugin-discussion

[twilit vapor]

I think it's other reason

[vague scarab]

Learn to adapt to use different app, otherwise will be left alone in this fast developing world.

[twilit vapor]

good old pixly will never be replaced

[steel verge]

well it is no longer accessible through the official channels

[vague scarab]

The official website is still up.

[twilit vapor]

no new features are getting added in the pixel editors

still a mystery why it got deleted

[shy moss]

I'm having an issue with the railroad expansion plugin

basically I'm following the manual and placing the right tracks, placed the depots and upgraded them, placed several of the arrival platforms

problem is none of the trains are spawning

i place them in the immediate vicinity of the trains and they do spawn but they stop at the arrival platforms and despawn instantly

is this a bug or am I doing this wrong?

[vague scarab]

Yep that's how it works

[tight orchid]

Anybody knows why my plugin is floating

[eternal lake]

you didnt crop it

[spice grotto]

whoever made the parking lot plugin should make it so buses can work on the roads lol, bc this is stopping me from doing anything since it's advanced roads put onto the invisible parking lot road

You may find more tutorials in the getting started page and on the forum
And even more tips pinned in plugin discussion
Step 4: Last step is to create a json. You can create one by using PCA or use this tutorial here to make one. To make one manually, you can use any text app which allows you to save files as a .json
Feel free to ask for help or suggestions on the forum or on the server

Bonus step: Once done, you can upload your plugin on the store which once approved can be downloaded in-game by anyone or post it on the forum showcase or both! Remember that store plugins must oblige to the store rules

Hi, what is meant by the comment "Wrong shadow and I'm pretty sure the textures haven't improved since you started" , after i fixed everything i was told that that I didn't fix anything

[lament hinge]

kulche moment

[raw sleet]

My nickname is Energodarets55, I mean the plugin with the Church of St. Ilya

[low shoal]

your skills have certainly improved, it isnt reflected in the building

old pic and new one, theres barely any differences

[lament hinge]

i dont see any difference xd, only better shading

[low shoal]

yes the contrast is better

[lament hinge]

but looks good

[lament hinge]

yeah

[low shoal]

He has recently made some impressive plugins

[lament hinge]

a lot of them

[low shoal]

My point being, of they want to submit old graphics, they should certainly work on improving it - to their current level

[lament hinge]

btw is my skyscraper plugin good for being published?

[low shoal]

which is?

[lament hinge]

if i add working night animation code

[low shoal]

oh youre obsi

[lament hinge]

[low shoal]

unrecognisable with the new name

did you crop it/is it in the store?

[lament hinge]

yeah lol it is actually my real name (Catrine)

[lament hinge]

i cropped it, changed 7x7 to 6x6

but it is not in store

i want to add night animation and publish it

[low shoal]

sure

[lament hinge]

yaaaayyyy

[distant sluice]

just change the offset

x: -whatever number,

🤔

but only when u use animation to build the plugin

[raven forge]

What website do I use to create the plugins?

[low shoal]

Ptag pca

[tulip rock]

Plugin creator app (PCA) is a website to create plugins for the game using a UI interface.

It can be accessed at https://pca.svetikas.lt/

[lone heron]

I wanted to ask if the bug with displaying the fullscreen overlay in the game menu on the city icon was fixed? The same bug from the first plugin atmospheric fog weather. I just stopped getting these squares in the menu at all

[muted harness]

What app do i use for making theotown textures?

[muted harness]

My antivirus blocked it lol

[trail furnace]

e

[trail furnace]

Any drawing app

Tho ones that specializes on pixel art should be easier

[low shoal]

Unblock it

[compact yarrow]

does the plugin.manifest id need to be its own and would i use "category":true or "category":"$terrain_00"?

[lone heron]

Yes, 1

[compact yarrow]

i used "true" when trying to create a tt.plugin and i cant find my plugin anywhere once i add the new tt.plugin and i get no errors on loading

[lone heron]

.ttplugin maybe?

[compact yarrow]

yes i just typed it wring here

wrong*

[lone heron]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=10950

Check this, may help

[compact yarrow]

thats what i used as my template

appreciate it

ill attempt it again later

[fervent pier]

i wanna recreate X-Seed 4000 so bad rn

how can i start?

[wicked frigate]

I don't think this is possible since TheoTown has a height limit i think. But if you want to make a smaller version then i think it's possible?

[fervent pier]

'''MYTHBUSTERS: Does TheoTown have a height limit on custom buildings?'''

[low shoal]

you can exceed height limit using animations

but generally thats not advisable

also

privileged features have a better built height i believe

[low shoal]

that is no myth, thats a fact

[somber wasp]

That’s Mount Fuji 🌝

[fervent pier]

whelp now i wanna build a (cosmetic) space elevator in theotown

would it be possible?

[compact yarrow]

ive attempted this multiple times now and each time i get the ttplugin file it doesnt appear in the game. it works fine before i compress the files to create the ttplugin.
i was thinking maybe it might be the manifest file that im doing something wrong. any ideas on whats going on would be appreciated

[low shoal]

manifest doesnt have square brackets

[compact yarrow]

that fixed it
thanks

[compact yarrow]

you cant upload .ttplugin files to the forum?

[low shoal]

to the store you cant

do the forum you can, but forum encourages you to share as zip so people can examin plugin contents

[compact yarrow]

i tried to make a post in the terrain forum and it said .ttplugin format wasnt supported.
i doubt u guys approve mine if i submit it to the store because i havent added shadows

[eternal lake]

there's nothing wrong here

I told you that you might have to adjust your coordinates

[lament hinge]

where do i put coordinates?

[eternal lake]

either in the animation draft as handles or in the building draft as plain coordinates

[lament hinge]

[{
"id": "$nightanimationid00",
"type": "animation",
"frames": [{"bmp": "night.png"}],
"light": true,
"light switching": true
},
{

here?

[eternal lake]

that's one of the options

refer to the animations tutorial

[lament hinge]

that is made by you?

[eternal lake]

since when do I have an animations tutorial

[lament hinge]

xd

[eternal lake]

anyway, just add the handle y attribute and that's it

[lament hinge]

this one?

[eternal lake]

that's the other option

1. Open the ZArchiver/X-plore/File Manager/Other applications to move the plugin files.
2. Go to the download folder and look for the downloaded plugin.
3. Hold the downloaded plugin file then select copy/cut.
4. Go to Storage>emulated>0 or Device Memory.
5. Go to the android>data>info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown>files>plugins folder.
6. After that, paste the plugin file that has been copied/cut.
7. The final step is to enter the TheoTown game and check the plugins that have been moved/copied.

Credits go to Reicaln for the tutorial

Hi

I have a problem with my second to last plugin pending approval, and the plugin store admin said that the cover image has been stolen and edited.

In addition, it said to ask for credits to the original author I later sent a message clarifying that the true author of the photo is me.

[vague scarab]

Try understand what copyright is.

If you have authorization from the original owner then resubmit. Otherwise it counts as copyright infringement. Else if it's your plugin then better provide at least a screenshot so i know the issue better.

[hasty fable]

Why like this?

*This is not my plugin, i download in other dc with zip files (already extract to folder)
