And by the way
¿Can someone tell me if,in the case than the airstrip is above the regular ground height in the sense than the pixel art has more height than the regular airstrip,the planes lands on the same spot or in a different one?

How to make specific vehicles in a building generation plugin

[eternal lake]

what?

as in.. how to create custom cars?

[grand veldt]

If I create a fire station and draw vehicles for it, how do I make it spawn from the building?

[eternal lake]

"cars"

see the cars tutorial on forums/pca website

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=2346

actually the main array is called "car spawner"

A few years ago there was a plugin called "people". There's a similar one, but it's less complete; the old one had firefighters, police, paramedics, and workers, as well as vehicles that dropped off people more complete Does anyone know where to get or have the plugin?🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝

[grand spruce]

It was removed by it's creator

There's no other way to download it, right?

[tacit shuttle]

So, the copyright laws as they apply to plugins confuse me
Because one of the most popular plugins is literally called Tesla

If I make like, The Gravity Falls Mystery Shack and call it Mystery Shack, is that copyright? Is p it ting the building up with a different name not copyright? Is the whole thing copyright strike worthy? What deems something as copyright strike worthy?
Ive heard people not get approved for having fast food logos or names, but ive also seen many brand name buildings get published

[grand spruce]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=4144

[tacit shuttle]

I read it but im still confused
Many people in the replies are as well, stating they made plugins that werent approved because of copyright like mcdonalds and such

From the post it sounds like its basically free game as long as you draw it but i saw some people claim otherwise

[dense saddle]

Yes

Do you have this plugin?

[shadow mauve]

how i can do rotation aware on a crane

[eternal lake]

crane????

like the actual crane type draft?

[shadow mauve]

yes, i was planning to do a port crane plugin, similar to the harbor that is already in game, but without the pier in the bottom

[eternal lake]

that's not a crane type draft....

that's just a regular building

[shadow mauve]

i mean this

[eternal lake]

I know

that's just a normal building

[shadow mauve]

just without the annoying pier sprites

but idk if it will face the way i built it

for example, i'll face the front of the building to the north side and i want to make sure the front stays in the north side whatever direction im rotating

[eternal lake]

okay

then just make the building rotation aware

by providing a multiple of 4 frames and setting the rotation aware attribute to true

if you're looking to specifically steal the vanilla animation, it's rotation aware by default

[shadow mauve]

but the problem is this: this is an example of some plugin that had rotation aware being weirdly looking
i placed the front of the crane in front of the construction site and after rotating it, the crane sprite went to the right side instead on the front

[eternal lake]

then your ordering is wrong

rotation aware buildings need to have their frames provided in a counterclockwise order

[shadow mauve]

for example, the sprite should face southeast first after placing?

[eternal lake]

it doesn't matter what direction the first frame is

it's the oredering that does

[shadow mauve]

is it correct

[eternal lake]

what..?

your frames have to rotate counterclockwise

that's it

[shadow mauve]

so 1-4, is correct?

[eternal lake]

sir this is a vanilla frame

of course it's correct

no idea what do you mean about the numbers

[shadow mauve]

like this one?

[eternal lake]

that's a horrible solution

just provide a single rotation aware animation

that's it, you don't need anything else

[shadow mauve]

thanks!

[eternal lake]

did you figure it out

[main pumice]

This is true or u are messing with me ? (Real question)

[main pumice]

This

[eternal lake]

yes it is

thats what happens when you play a freemium game

[shadow mauve]

nah

sucked at making this a 2x2 while making the crane look longer

even the default harbour cranes sprite went out of the 3x3 limit

[eternal lake]

that's not true I'm pretty sure

no idea what your goal is here

[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

I ran into some problems when I was making the composite building.

@eternal lake

[eternal lake]

as far as I know 16 is the maximum size for all drafts

[west umbra]

But the management of the game plug-in store asked me to put two buildings together, and the size of the combined building is larger than 16, so what should I do?

[eternal lake]

hard to check considering that all theotown stuff is down

I can't help

there's also no such attribute as "works"

[eternal lake]

I told you what the problem is

[low shoal]

Oh wait I get it 🤔
But also not the issue

[eternal lake]

that's just misinformation

[low shoal]

The issue is that it is out of bounds (greater than 16x16)

Okay, I apologize for the incorrect information.

why is that an issue?

I found the source of the bug. As someone who has previously created compositions larger than 16, I thought about it a bit and realized that the problematic part of your plugin was that it created the composition commercially. If you set the composition to decoration, the error is resolved.

Plugin store plugins can only be downloaded from in-game interface.

Hundreds of plugins I purchased from the store are all gone. Previously, I could just download them again without having to repurchase them. Now, I have to repurchase them again. All my plugins are gone.
Previously, you could restore it by simply copying the purchase plugin to the new data and this plugin would appear without needing to download it again, but now these files are not detected even though I am using the old version.

this is either realted to your account or online connectivity or both

Is there a way to make loading here faster with hundreds of Plugins running?

[urban idol]

That's the neat part, you can't. The more plugins you install, the more time needed for your game to load, the only solution is to keep your memory free and pray that the game don't crash

Unless if you really want it to be faster, delete some plugins that are unused or you rarely use

I saw the sphere's plugin, the disclaimer say it would crash some device cause it has many texture's... So If the plugin had many animation, it would certainly crash some device right?

how to add plugin from forum in theotown pc

[eternal lake]

you put them in your plugins folder

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. (android 11 onwards restricts access to external storage for apps, so if the files cannot be accessed this way, opt for the in-build manager explained below)
• ios: Search "TheoTown" in the file manager app

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.

no idea then, I only ever used paint.net and aseprite

looks like your choice is to either use that or just do it manually

I think i would try them cause I'm too lazy to make noise by hand

was there a way to make a composition such that if one building is removed, all of them are removed as well? i remember seeing this somewhere but can’t find it again 😭

[granite frost]

It's a good plugin idea

[eager dragon]

i thought mine was alot

[steel verge]

[granite frost]

Lol I just downloaded 84 new plugins from other discord servers...and some from forum as well

💀

It took a lot of effort to download and select plugins you know...🥲🙏 I spent more than 1 week without playing just downloaded plugin every time...

[slate dust]

How can I make it look more realistic and pretty?

It's ancient Egyptian temple

[zealous zephyr]

That is NOT an ancient Egyptian temple

[barren stratus]

Add stairs like in the picture

[pallid spade]

I hope this plugin gets optimized so that it looks like the plugins folder instead of acsingle popup menu that you have to scroll

[dark dawn]

Can't you put walls around it

[grand spruce]

While I can't stop you from making something for your personal use, I can tell that it will not be shown here, nor will you be getting help in make it here.

[zealous zephyr]

If I’m correct, for plugins, if you want to make a building taller you can only draw over the red lines but your building can’t cross the blue lines on a template right?

If that’s right then to make the building taller than the template I just adjust the template height right?

[daring seal]

Friends, I want to ask how to publish the plugin I made, I want to share it with friends. 😫

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

[daring seal]

I've made it and it works very well.
The format itself is plugin.ttplugin. I can change the format to json if necessary, fortunately I have already resolved the art. It's nice to learn something new.
but there is a little problem where I can't use Json, I don't know maybe my phone is not compatible or something. I tried to do what was instructed but it doesn't appear in the store. Do I have to go through a special browser or is there something I missed?

[hardy orchid]

AI?

[daring seal]

I could lie and say no. but I'll just be honest because I can't draw. even in modding I even spent hours trying to figure out how to use "Draw Ground" properly and realized that the prank I was using wasn't compatible. so overall yeah this is AI, you can hate me I know I'm lazy and talentless for not being able to draw pixel art so I apologize if I made a mistake 😕

[daring seal]

Sorry

[hardy orchid]

Bruh chill

[dim oyster]

Try learning pixel art, I've started out very terrible and gets confused how to even create a normal building plugin, and now i have 2 plugins available that totals up to 130k downloads. Keep trying.

[obtuse mural]

Are there any apps/websites for me to make plugins?

[dim oyster]

Yes, my friend, I tried doing it without AI first, but when I did, the result was still the same.

[serene cave]

Can someone help me?

I cannot use template in pixly

I cannot import he

Yeah but it seems like just recently everybody in this channel started showing AI, even if theyre just mockups, its weird

Ill put it on the game blowing up in a country which attracted a lot of new players

There’s nothing you can do

It’s just the servers

[rare mural]

The servers down? I can't even access the forum. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[zealous zephyr]

That’s how it is

Ptag server

[tulip rock]

Hello, we are currently experiencing intermittent TheoTown online service interruptions due to a significant surge in new players. We are monitoring the servers closely and will provide updates as they become available.

All services requiring an online connection are affected, including:

• Plugin store
• Online mode
• Account login
• Forum
• Gifts
• Diamond redemption
• Online gallery

Online mode, plugin search and plugin comment search has been temporarily disabled.

Login issues on Android: Because of the rapid increase in players, we have hit the capacity limits for Google Play Games services. We are already in contact with Google to increase these limits.

[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. (android 11 onwards restricts access to external storage for apps, so if the files cannot be accessed this way, opt for the in-build manager explained below)
• ios: Search "TheoTown" in the file manager app

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.

[dim oyster]

How much power do you want the building to produce?

1000

[dim oyster]

Minimum 5T/month

"monthly price": 5

Adding monthly price affects:

Hai

[eager dragon]

good day, good morning and noon and night, how does one make multiple plugins at one pack ? thanks

[low shoal]

Ptag creation

[tulip rock]

This is a beginners guide to plugin creation.

Start by finding a real life image to use as a reference.

Choose a template of your liking and import it to a pixel drawing app. You may use any app with transparency options.

Next you create a json (and manifest) which can be done on a text editing app such as visual studio code. The forum link contains the code and the zip file which you may use as a guide.

The json in the zip file was created as a "pack" which acts as a guide for those looking to make one.

Once everything is complete, create a folder and place the folder in your plugin folder and relaunch the game. You should be able to find it in the relevant category.

The comprehensive guide can be found here: https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?t=28808

Happy creations!

[low shoal]

Press the forum link and refer to the json in the zip file

how to create a delay on light animation?

[eternal lake]

delay?

you can't

[harsh stream]

okey, thanks

[grim zodiac]

Devs no longer supports the usage of ai that's why it's gone

[eternal lake]

...no??

(in the future, please use #bot-commands)

[grim zodiac]

Oh

[quiet rover]

what do you mean delay

[harsh stream]

delay time when the night light come out

[quiet rover]

like during the day/night cycle?

[harsh stream]

yes

[quiet rover]

you can probably animate the light animation and leave a blank frame and make the fps really low, so it stays on the empty frame for a while before switching

but that would probably make it so the light turns off periodically as well

idk i haven’t done something like this before

[harsh stream]

thank you for the information sir

[hazy echo]

Yo

[grim zodiac]

Ya know... Animations loop right? So what it does is just a blinking light

[hazy echo]

Why my firefighter dont getting move? I have called them but they dont come

Someone

[grim zodiac]

Are you the creator of the plugin?
