@low shoal help

[eternal lake]

..?

[low shoal]

hmm?

[meager lark]

how to install plugins

[drowsy orbit]

what phone or device are you using

[paper spire]

What happened to Qman's road pack?!

It's gone from the store without warning and it ruined my forever city

Like the White Avenue road is gone

All my other cities are also ruined

Not even installing British avenues was able to restore them in unloaded cities 🥀

[steel verge]

@vale minnow

[vale minnow]

I explained why, and even if I put it back your issue would still exist

You know why? I changed the ID for it

And other things I won't explain

I kinda, broke everything while updating my 3 year old plugin

won't happen again I promise

[paper spire]

Damn

[paper spire]

Its nearly 1 year of work down the drain

[vale minnow]

I could try to get a old file back if I still have it

Maybe that might work

I'll DM you it

(I need to check if I have the backup)

[paper spire]

Thanks

I'll just load a backup world. I keep backups every time I want to xtreme ICBM the city, so no big issue as long as the old file exists

[vale minnow]

As it is an backup, don't use it on the online regions.

[paper spire]

Alright

[lusty sage]

hey can someone fix bug error at zoom

[grand spruce]

Can you be more specific...

Perhaps with screenshots and such

[glossy magnet]

Hi guys, I have a question about a road plugin in TheoTown.
I edited the plugin’s JSON file to change the road price and the monthly cost.

However, in the game the road price is still 50 (some are even 100), and the monthly cost is still 10, even though I set it to 5 in the JSON file.

Is there another parameter, file, or setting that overrides these values?

[low shoal]

a vanilla road? how did you implement this?

[maiden sun]

I have question, how to transfer plugin in device A > device B?

When i use device B, need buy using diamond again

[glossy magnet]

It’s a plugin road.
I downloaded the plugin and edited its JSON file directly to change the price and monthly cost.

[vague scarab]

Refer to this #information message

[glossy magnet]

Okey thank

[barren hill]

Why my plugin isnt get any response, it has been 12 days

[eternal lake]

it's not automatic

lobby has better stuff to do it'd appear

just wait

[true monolith]

I have created some plugins. Can I send the file if someone wants test or use them? They are my first plugins

[eternal lake]

how original

[mortal flax]

why so cartoon?

[true monolith]

I am using ibis paint

[low shoal]

you need to downsize those

use the in-game trucks as a reference

oh those are massive

a human is 3 pixels

[true monolith]

Ok thanks

I started yesterday so I am trying using 3x3 or 4x4 base

[low shoal]

you should do trucks on a 1x1

[cedar path]

Do on Theotown forums first

There's a showcase section

[mortal flax]

so ?

im using ibis paint too

[grim rock]

hey guys, how do i name my plugin? i'm using the plugin creator website and it name came out as this generic Commercial T1

[mortal flax]

that because its a commercial

commercial you can’t name it

[grim rock]

ah okay thanks!

[grim rock]

sorry i've got another question, how do i make it into the center?

[dense minnow]

how many frames for road decoration?

[low shoal]

16

[dense minnow]

why does lobby use 4 frames

[low shoal]

rotation frames

i guess i was wrong

assumed since roads have 16 frames, road decor would too

[vague scarab]

I might be needed so if you want to designate each frame for each road dirs.

[scenic heart]

why i can't upload or update plugin store?

[scenic heart]

Nvm just my internet problem

I love plugin sawit

[mortal flax]

ok indonesian guy, go buy it

[heady trail]

I've done it

[mortal flax]

man

[heady trail]

I use sandbox

[mortal flax]

lets talk about it on general

[heady trail]

Ok

[barren hill]

Guys is this good enough (no texture yet)

[urban jolt]

Good plugin

The funftion

[dim oyster]

its good, but this channel is for plugin related issues

[barren hill]

Yes, i have issue here

1. Why my other plugin doesnt get any response more than 13 days
2. Why my theotown crashed when i try to add night animation

[dim oyster]

Plugin approvals can take a lot of time, so be patient

But the nightlight crashing theotown.. i dunno about that

I created some plugins that have nightlight animation and none of them have ever crashed

[eternal lake]

if it's crashing, you aren't doing it right

[true monolith]

I'm working on new plugin. Is better than other plugin that I made?

[eternal lake]

it goes out of the baseplate

[true monolith]

I added noise

[grim zodiac]

What the problem here?

[dense minnow]

does the road decoration have rotation awareness?

[low shoal]

Yes

[dense minnow]

Why is the road decoration not visible?

[gaunt wasp]

How to download plugin in discord

[low shoal]

You download the plugin and move to your plugin folder

[gaunt wasp]

Ok

[low shoal]

your message is being automodded because of 2 o .png

it was commonly used in scams so it was blacklisted

you can drop the json file as is or tell me what the issue is and ill take a look at automod logs

[barren hill]

Why still no night animation

[eternal lake]

op plugin

how very amazing

how do you expect it to work if you didn't even attach the animation to the building

[dim oyster]

Add the code:
"animation": [
{
"id": "$ (enter your night animation id here)",
"x": 0,
"y": (any negative number from -30 to -60)
}
],

Also, you should probably lower the influence radius

[barren hill]

Why have to add -value

[barren hill]

Aight

[dim oyster]

for some reason negative numbers make the night animation go up, and positive numbers make it go down

[eternal lake]

theotown coordinates work similarly to image editing software coordinates

so the 4th quart of the coord system

[barren hill]

Soo what number should i set

[eternal lake]

you can count it yourself

by default the reference point of the animation is in the top left corner

[eternal lake]

point 0,0 refers to the leftmost pixel of the baseplate

[craggy rampart]

How do you create a plugin without a draft name?

[eternal lake]

"title", "text"

[craggy rampart]

And what are the attributes so that the decals used can appear without coverage?

[craggy rampart]

What is an attribute

[eternal lake]

?????

"title" is the building's name

"text" is the description

they are string attributes

[craggy rampart]

Okey

[stray yoke]

how do I use this as a plugin?

@low shoal didnt you tell me on the forum?

idk

[low shoal]

move it in the "plugins" folder

its in the wrong folder right now

[stray yoke]

oh

how

😭

[low shoal]

first delete that one using actions

then press the plugin folder to move in there then press import here

[stray yoke]

my game froze

i cosed it

closed*

and went back on

and this was in the file manager

[stray yoke]

thx

[low shoal]

yes

those are game logging files which is useful if you need support with crashes etc

[stray yoke]

oh

ok

[stray yoke]

its not in the plugns bar but i just did raht

daht*

[low shoal]

remember to restart the game

[stray yoke]

oh

[low shoal]

once you do that it will only appear in the plugins bar if it has a manifest file

[stray yoke]

bruh

[low shoal]

oh just press ok

it is fine

[stray yoke]

its not in the plugin bar

[low shoal]

just wont appear under plugins tab but you should be able to find it easy enough. Might be a landmark

[stray yoke]

oh

[low shoal]

^^

try the landmark category

[stray yoke]

nope

found it

thx

idk how to assemble it

😂

[low shoal]

lol you might have to mess around a bit

[stray yoke]

no

[low shoal]

i mean sure if you dont want to after all that troub;e

shouldnt be too hard to find the frames

[stray yoke]

its now buckingham palace

its buckingham gap

☹️

[low shoal]

lol

[stray yoke]

fixed it

[low shoal]

yay congrats

[stray yoke]

wanna see my screenshot file

[spice mulch]

I was upload this plugin 2 days ago and still pending approval, any tips?

[fading hedge]

what is "h" mean?? what's the difference with "y"?

[eternal lake]

h is height

y is the y coordinate

[fading hedge]

sorry for ping, can u explain about that (my message above)

[low shoal]

what are you trying to achieve?

[fading hedge]

try re create advanced road

[eternal lake]

that doesn't explain anything in the context of your problem lmao

[fading hedge]

i just still confusing

[eternal lake]

and what is the problem exactly

[fading hedge]

what the different attributes x y, w h, handle x handle y, or move x and move y is it really in the json implementation?

[eternal lake]

x and y are coordinates

w and h are width and height

handles refer to the "handle" of the frame, aka the reference point/pivot point

[fading hedge]

cordinates of what?

[eternal lake]

of whatever object you're working on

adding x=5 to an attached animation will shift the animation to x=5

adding x=5 to a frame will tell the game to grab the sprite from an area that starts at x=5

[fading hedge]

what the default value for handle x or handle y?
for default size w:32 h:16

[eternal lake]

handles are always 0 by default

so a frame's handle is always in the top left corner by default

[fading hedge]

so 0 place the animation in cemter of tile? or how it work?

[eternal lake]

0 what

[fading hedge]

handle y and handle x

[eternal lake]

it will put it at whatever x, y you passed

an animation will visually appear at x-handle x, y-handle y

[fading hedge]

x, y handle x hanlde y are value 0, and image size 32x16, so where position of animation when ingame?

[low shoal]

i personally dont think you should be trying to recreate advanced road as a complete beginner

[eternal lake]

at 0,0

as I said

0-0 is 0

[fading hedge]

im advanced in json implementation but in Minecraft, im just need information to how it work

[low shoal]

that leftmost square is 0,0 and thats the handle. If you move that higher than your frame appears higher than the tile

[eternal lake]

just because you know how json works doesn't mean you'll know all the theotown plugin system gimmicks

[fading hedge]

cause in Theotown json implementation are a bit less unique

[low shoal]

if you say so

[eternal lake]

whatever that means?

[fading hedge]

in game position inside tile, is it center of tile ingame?

[eternal lake]

0,0 is the leftmost pixel of the baseplate

[low shoal]

refer to my image

[fading hedge]

that red arrow are 0 pos, not blue arrow?? so the animation will appear like red rectangle or Yellow rectangle?

[low shoal]

yes the red arrow

and animations appear on that line going below it

so the red box

[eternal lake]

red is x=0, y=0

yellow is x=negative, y=negative

purple is x=0, y=negative<yyellow

and so on

[fading hedge]

okay, thanks for explanation

I really understand now

[eternal lake]

you're welcome

[fading hedge]

can i ask one more

how to make offset through bottom, cause my image always croped when passing through the bottom size tile?

or what ever that name, bottom size tile, or bottom line, idk

[low shoal]

well you arent really supposed to go below the tile

[eternal lake]

you can only render things above the baseplate

[fading hedge]

hmm okkay

[stuck plinth]

Do you think this is a good plugin?

[lusty blaze]

I created a Carousel building animation. How do I put it into the game? Please help me.

[scenic heart]

Why the texture buried?

[eternal lake]

badly positioned image/wrong handles

[scenic heart]

I see

[scenic heart]

I forgot building tile

[fading hedge]

can someone give me mew's(advanced road) discord user name?

.

organized advanced road??

i know this is stealing, I plan to ask the original owner to modify the original advanced road plugin like this, so that it will be more usable by people.

[grand spruce]

@frigid arch See above ^

I am pretty sure in the past you have said people don't need premission to modify/addon to your stuff, but just making sure!

[frigid arch]

Yes, they can modify my plugins without my permission

[grand spruce]

@fading hedge See above ^^ 🙂

[fading hedge]

Am I allowed to distribute this plugin? And, permission to upload it to the plugin store?

[frigid arch]

Yes. Not sure if you can upload it though, that's more of a moderator question.

[fading hedge]

hmm okkay, thanks for answering

[frigid arch]

No problem (:

[drowsy orbit]

i need help with the frame

[grand spruce]

@drowsy orbit I got you hold on

⁨[ { "id": "Oga_BLKCRGOSHP", "type": "decoration", "title": "Bulk Cargo Ship", "text": "Decoration for your industrial zones", "width": 2, "height": 2, "frames": [ { "bmp": "Bulkcargo2.png", "w": 16, "count": 4 } ], "needs water": true, "needs land": false, "rotation aware": false } ]⁩

There's the code

[drowsy orbit]

thank you!

[grand spruce]

Given on our our automod settings it blocked it, but that should allow someone with the knowledge to help you out

[grand spruce]

^^

[drowsy orbit]

Im so stupid it took me a while to understand what you jst said

[grand spruce]

xD

No problem

[low shoal]

What exactly is wrong with the frame

[drowsy orbit]

heres the png and the frame is cutoff from the 2x2 plane

im trying to fix it rn

i changed the png to a smaller size

[low shoal]

Is that pixly?

[drowsy orbit]

nope

aseprite

the one i showed you a couple of weeks ago

or mentioned

[low shoal]

So the game actually does read the size of the png when it counts the frames. So what you would want to do is move all 4 in a way that they are distanced to appear on the tile properly.

If aseprite allows you to import images, import the 2x2 template and just line up your images the way you would want it to appear in gamr

[drowsy orbit]

That's what im trying to do rn

i thinkk im getting there...

[low shoal]

If you can't do it (import), just draw a square yourself with the dimensions of 64 by 32

[drowsy orbit]

I do have a plan b which is separating them individually as its own png

[low shoal]

You can use handles too btw to move it to where you need

Wait

[drowsy orbit]

?

[low shoal]

You said you were doing a 2x2 building?

[drowsy orbit]

yes

[low shoal]

Use w 64

[drowsy orbit]

alr

[low shoal]

I still feel like your images on the png aren't spaced correctly but 🤷‍♀️

[drowsy orbit]

yeah that's what i thought

it worked lol

Thank you!

[low shoal]

Enjoy ;)

[near zenith]

Welp since there is no place to report bugs here it seems this bug is very rare

[low shoal]

(That "bug" is not very rare)

You have 2 instances of the same plugin. If you have the unzipped version in use, remove the zipped version of that plugin.

[near zenith]

In short, try to see what the source doesn't show anything zip: you see I've moved all the files, but the results are still the same.

So I removed the app and reinstalled it

[low shoal]

What?

I dont get you

[near zenith]

Ok now I understand

[slate dust]

Why I have this error message?

[eternal lake]

paste the code here

[slate dust]

It's very long

I can send .txt

[eternal lake]

well duh, of course there's a syntax error

the json doesn't start with an array and an object

you have mismatched brackets

[slate dust]

So what should I do?

[eternal lake]

..add the missing brackets?

[barren hill]

Is the price okay for this plugin

[dim oyster]

monthly price and price set too high, park and culture influence is also too high. Also you should've asked this in #plugin-discussion

[barren hill]

Price : 25000
Monthly : 125
Park : 50
Cuture : 30
Okay ?

[dim oyster]

how big is the structure?

[barren hill]

2x2

What are you typing...

[dim oyster]

Price : 5000
Monthly : 10
Park : 10
Culture : 5
Its better to create balanced plugins than create something too op

[low sonnet]

Link?

[barren hill]

Hhmm letmiting

[barren hill]

What link ?, plugin ?. Just wait till approval in plugin store

[low shoal]

This is fine

[barren hill]

Are you sure ?

[low shoal]

Just check with the influence limit graph whether it is within limits

[hardy orchid]

Are you working on a fix?

[restive meadow]

Why can't I download plugins from theotown forums?

[dim oyster]

i think forum's plugin store is just for showcasing the plugins and not for downloading them, only in the ingame plugin store you can get the plugins

[tulip rock]

If you see a plugin on some screenshot, which you can't find in Plugin Store, try searching it on TheoTown forums (https://forum.theotown.com/viewforum.php?f=43). There you can find a lot of unique plugins, which are not available on Plugin Store.

[low shoal]

thats where you find forum plugins

the other page is just a display of store plugins

[restive meadow]

Okay

[restive meadow]

I have downloaded it on this forum but can't get into my theotown

[warm harbor]

Import it in then

You can use the built in file manager

[restive meadow]

I have but still can't

[low shoal]

Relauncg the game

[restive meadow]

The plugin is missing

[restive meadow]

Already

[restive meadow]

Some of my friends also have problems like this

[warm harbor]

You probably put it in the wrong folder

[restive meadow]

I put it in the plugin folder

[warm harbor]

Wait is the file a zip? If yes then extract it

[restive meadow]

Owh okay

I will try it

[low shoal]

that does not matter

the plugin just probably doesnt have a manifest file

it will be found in whatevr type of buildinsg category it is in

[warm harbor]

Probably

[low shoal]

its not probably

it is what the issue was

[fresh silo]

Try this

@low shoal which apps are recommended to create plugins? Except adobePs

[tulip rock]

Press the link for a more comprehensive guide for plugin creation for beginners
The key points are summarised below:

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 is a tutorial on how to make a house by Kulche
And tips on how to improve plugin quality from rtobby
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 to make one. To make one manually, 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

[slim echo]

What happened to the hospitals and schools? I went to my city and found an incredible number of adjustments.

[hardy summit]

I hate the new updates

It make a lots of problems

[eternal lake]

problems? like what

[hardy summit]

Many problems

[hardy summit]

But I will tell you some

Like hospital, one university which went from 10000 both high and low students capacity to only 100

And many other things

[eternal lake]

oh no, you can't create cheating plugins any more 😱

such a problem for the community

[hasty fable]

One university is a cheat plugin, the building graphics is bad, the monthly price si cheap but the effect too op

Nah i dont mind if get nerf

[hardy summit]

But not only one University

[hardy summit]

The capacity Hospital,school,funeral,waste are also dropped fast like from 200000 to 5000,50000 to 1000

All my plots were ruined for this

[hardy summit]

How can I fixed this problems

[hasty fable]

Just reminders, now the 1 theon cash monthly price is like 10 people facility.

So if you want a 100k people capacity, you need atleast a 10k monthly price.

But the influence tile zone not disturb, so now you can just make 1 theon monthly price with 10 capacity but can cover a whole map lol

[dim oyster]

wait for the next update or replace it with better plugins that aren't very op

[hasty fable]

Just replace with another plugin

[dim oyster]

we can't just use op plugins and not expect it to be nerfed to the ground

[hardy summit]

Can you tell me some better plugins. I don't know the names

[hasty fable]

There is a plenty university plugin soo

[dim oyster]

the one i use a lot is institute of modern arts, idk if that got nerfed tho, hasn't checked the stats of that plugin

[tardy elk]

I have a problem releasing my plugin, I already did everything, I already learned how to make plugins, but this thing happened earlier

[dim oyster]

As i could see, the size is kind of too big to fit in the game's style, try making it smaller and add more depth to the windows and make it smaller.

[dense minnow]

how to use frame animation indices?

[low shoal]

something like this

[dense minnow]

yes

can you explain

[low shoal]

so this was one of my building that has 16 frames (acts similar to a road)
I have a couple of animations here. I do not want them all on all of the objects frames.
frame 0-2 labelled here are technically animation 0-2
when using frame indices, you assign each of these to a set frame. So here, i assigned animations 0-2 for all 16 of them and for animations 3 to 18, only one is assigned to each of the 16 frames

[slim echo]

There is a school like that, it's a 4x4 blue building that has a huge range, but it costs 11300 to maintain and only houses 10000 elementary and high school students.

[barren hill]

Can i make 1 draft of animation, but use it for multiple building draft ?

[steel verge]

Yes

That one is obvious, tf could handle 10k student while the building is tiny plus the cost is too cheap. Def cheating

[hardy summit]

Actually

Look

I build this to save forest from deforestation

[hardy summit]

Can you tell me some plugins like this

[peak nexus]

Hmmm there’s alot of uni insitution there but i dunno if they got nerfed as well

[hardy summit]

Cost are not matter

I only build this for forest

[plucky patrol]

St Theo Hospital plugin is being nerfed by too much, it's the same footprint as the normal large hospital (4x4) and had 50k capacity before being nerfed, why is it only down to 500???

(The two buildings side by side for comparison)

[low shoal]

i think you might need a higher monthly cost?

[keen gyro]

Does anyone know what the building with the highest residential density is? (vanilla or with plugins)

[leaden axle]

noo they nerfed the rainbow katori tower, from 56.000 to 4.500

[slim echo]

The Atlántica tower II has a capacity of 4,000 in a 2x2 space and is TTT level

[plucky patrol]

I'm not sure how to change that

[low shoal]

which update exactly?

and usually the plugin creators are the ones that need to fix it

[blazing nacelle]

@low shoal the latest one probably because i haven't noticed this issue before even if it was there

[blazing nacelle]

Try mr hospital
16k capacity with 5x5 size

[dense minnow]

because one way road

[keen gyro]

Anyone know of any residential buildings over 5k people?

[twilit mirage]

if you know how to make plugin , the max amount of resident/worker in a building is 1k/tile , so that mean 2×2 tiles is 4k , 3×3 tiles is 9k and so on

[eternal lake]

probably your frames

[dense minnow]

it is fixed, it turns out i had to create new lines

[eternal lake]

yes, your previous json expected 64 frames in one line

[eternal lake]

though with that you're just getting the same 16 frames 4 times, is that your intention

Few questions:

1. Can we force a car to use the same lane bi directional using road dirs?
2. Is it possible to randomize say an animation frame via function?
3. Is it possible to use frame change function on animtion for road decortion?

[eternal lake]

How do I make a plugin?

[tulip rock]

Press the link for a more comprehensive guide for plugin creation for beginners
The key points are summarised below:

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 is a tutorial on how to make a house by Kulche
And tips on how to improve plugin quality from rtobby
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 to make one. To make one manually, 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

[silent hazel]

Hello everyone! 😄 so I couldn't find more train plugins and I love trains so i wanted to make my own, but i am having a weird issue where it seems the game is using a fallback texture/ the default texture atlas instead of my texture. i had the name wrong before then i changed it and the error still persisted. this is the diagram if any one can point at where my mistake is i would be very thankfull and i will give you many train plugins

i hope this is the right channel for this sort of question i am bad with discord

Yes that would be ideal but depends this here as well

Wonder if its a shader error

[tepid rose]

Strange, recently got new shader from the store, but the error message doesn't come up until I click the settings icon? Otherwise I can play the game normally

[low shoal]

Whats the shader name? If you turn it off and restart the game, does the error still happen?

[tepid rose]

Can't turn anything off because I can't access settings

Illumin

Deleted from managed plugins but still getting the same error message

[low shoal]

Ooh and youre using android

[tepid rose]

I am, but I can access my files

[low shoal]

Okay so if you deleted the plugin, and you restarted the app and still having the issue then that cant be the issue

Uh @eternal lake do you remember what this means

[tepid rose]

Indeed, tried deleting the last few shaders I DL just in case but no dice

[dry idol]

it was me

[night crypt]

how do i update?

[grand spruce]

Ptag staged

[tulip rock]

A staged rollout means that only a certain percentage of users will get the update at a time. Meaning that the update will come over a matter of days to everyone, rather than all at once. We have no of choosing who gets the update when, as it is totally random. You can check the store in a few days to see whether the update is available for you.

[grand spruce]

There is pretty much no way we or you can control when your game updates

[low shoal]

what other plugins do you have enabled?

[green sleet]

Did u edit the setting.json?

[urban badge]

why my theotown can't install any plugin from plugin website, anyone pls help

[eternal lake]

what do you mean it "can't"

what are you trying to achieve

[tulip rock]

There are 2 ways of installing plugins without the use of the in-game plugin store; via in-game file browser and using marc files.
Note that using zArchiver, MT Manager, or other similar apps may be more complicated. Eg. Requiring shizuku setup.

-# Starting with Android 11, apps cannot modify Android/data directly due to scoped storage restrictions. See Android Storage Changes for details.

[low shoal]

That is because water/electricity generation is capped for normal users. You would probably need a ridiculous price or it is impossible.
Privileged/trusted creators can bypass this limits but since you aren't one, there is not way to do this. You can grab the desmos curve for utilities from the forum posted by JustAnyone

[green sleet]

I see, thank you. The price doesnt do much just for info.

[low shoal]

the monthly price does

[dim oyster]

If i remember it correctly, this is the line:
"aspect body disposal capacity": (insert value)

[quiet rover]

i think it’s restricted to privileged plugin creators though. you can still make a plugin like that but it will have 0 capacity without the privilege

[tepid olive]

Does anyone know the plugin I circled?

I want the base of the tower to be the center of the 2x2 baseplate but instead it does this-

Is it not possible or did I miss somethings during coding?

[eternal lake]

you can, but it's a bad idea

you messed up your handles

[drowsy orbit]

does it have to something with adding the x axis?

[eternal lake]

..."adding"... the axis?

what?

the x axis is already there lol, it's a 2d game

[drowsy orbit]

i meant including the x axis of the frame

[eternal lake]

no idea what that means

you need to modify your handles

[drowsy orbit]

i'll just figure it our myself thank you

[eternal lake]

.

[drowsy orbit]

care to explain more of what it means?

[eternal lake]

"handle x" "handle y"

those are the attributes

[drowsy orbit]

that's what i meant

[eternal lake]

and they move the handles of your image along those axes

[drowsy orbit]

I'm not an expert in those but thank you for explaining

[eternal lake]

pca is useful for getting all kind of information

lattice?????????

I believe it's 16 for width/height

if it's not, it's 32

[fading hedge]

can u help me?

[eternal lake]

you cant use id in preview frames

the correct attribute is bmp

in the future, dont ping me for no reason

[fading hedge]

so i must type all "x" "y" and other atribute inside that??

[fading hedge]

im so sorry, i won't do it again. sorry for bothering you.

[low shoal]

{"bmp": "impagename.png", "x": 32, "y": 4}

is like that

[hardy rapids]

Who can help? I have a drawing, but I can't make the JSON code and the manifest plugin.

[fading hedge]

how about using id?

"type": "preview frame"??

for "animation": "$id_anim"
id:"$id_anim" type: "animation"

can it be like this?

for "preview frame": "$id_preview frame"

id:"$id_preview_frame" type: "preview frame"

[low shoal]

I dont think preview frame is its own type????

Its "preview frame": [{"bmp": "image.png"}]

[dim oyster]

Use pca

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/

[dense crane]

I created a plugin but I can't install it on my PC.

[low shoal]

explain more than that

[silent hazel]

i uploaded my plugin to the website, it hasn't been aprooved yet, will it be available if people want to try it out by themselves or does it stay hiden untill it's properly checked by staff?

[low shoal]

yes

[tulip rock]

If you see a plugin on some screenshot, which you can't find in Plugin Store, try searching it on TheoTown forums (https://forum.theotown.com/viewforum.php?f=43). There you can find a lot of unique plugins, which are not available on Plugin Store.

[dim trellis]

Ptag Use of Ai in plugins

[tulip rock]

We strongly encourage players to make plugins manually by hand without using AI tools as AI is very bad at creating graphics that match the artstyle and scale of TheoTown and objectively, human made work is always better.

However, the plugin store does allow use of AI within plugins published there.

3. Use of AI for Image Creation

If you use AI to generate or assist with your plugin’s graphics, you must declare it in your submission. Usually, AI-generated artwork must be heavily edited to fit TheoTown’s style, which includes matching the color palette, perspective, scale, and pixel-art details. Always ensure your final graphics meet these requirements and that you hold the rights to use any AI-produced content.

So here can learn how to adapt graphics to TheoTown style [here](#plugin-discussion message). **AI assisted plugins that do not follow the requirement submitted to the plugin store will be disapproved. **

[hardy rapids]

[manic mountain]

Ayo
Does anyone here can tell me what's the size of something bigger than 8×8 tiles?(Like 9×9,10×10 and else.I'm just trying to make a carrier and it looks too small on 8×8)

[manic mountain]

Why it is so big?

[twilit garden]

U can split your carrier

Maybe like 2 6x6

So 6x12

[manic mountain]

I mean,i could
But I'm trying to make a carrier than can rotate

(i already have the images for all the rotation frames)

[twilit garden]

I'm not plugin creator, but I believe u still can make it rotation aware for splitted building. Take evergreen plugin for example

[manic mountain]

That thing rotates?

[twilit garden]

Ya

[manic mountain]

Didn't know that

Tough, I'm a newbie at this of plugin creating
Making one than can rotate without falling apart would be hard as hell

[twilit garden]

I think this game support non square plugin already

So u can make like 2x4 without splitting it

Idk

[west umbra]

What is the external link to install the plug-in on the computer?

[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.

[twilit garden]

Wym link tho

Like the folder? Or plugin download link?

[manic mountain]

Btw,this is the original version of the carrier(i spent like 3 hours on both frames,and as i said,it looked too small,so i had to expand the landing lane)

[manic mountain]

(basically,now it's like almost twice as big)

[twilit garden]

It's nice, but feels to fat for me. Maybe make it longer?

[manic mountain]

That's what I'm saying

I actually DID make it longer
But the problem is than the new version doesn't fit in 8×8

[twilit garden]

Why don't just use like 10x10 or more?

Although it waste so much unused space

[manic mountain]

And that's exactly what I'm trying to do
The problem is, I don't know how damn long is 10×10(arguably,i think 11×11 would be enough,tough,but i also don't know that one)

[twilit garden]

You're using the template from forum right?
If 8x8 is 256x128
Then 10x10 is easily 320x160

[manic mountain]

Ok
I'll try that out

[manic mountain]

Ok,i tried and i think it almost fits
I think than 11×11 can work without wasting that much space

[manic mountain]

Damn

It looks better than what i thought

Although...i messed up on the rotations(instead of changing the command position and else,i actually moved it to the other side...damn perspectives)

Well
I'm to damn lazy to solve that issue so it'll probably stay like that

[silent hazel]

Do trains support diagonal roads? like cars. would be really nice with the diagonal railways plugin

I don't think i have seen that on the tutorials

trains are cars

they are implemented as cars

Aha ok

[tardy elk]

trying to make night animation, already inserted the light image, but it only shows this

what's wrong😭

the light changed to another plugins texture somehow

[low shoal]

Did you mess up your coordinates somehow

[quiet rover]

did you use "x" and "y" in defining your frames instead of "handle x" and "handle y"

[tardy elk]

I used x and y

did I used the wrong one

[quiet rover]

yeah

x and y shift the origin point of the frame to somewhere else, so since theotown renders multiple plugin textures in one image, it’s reading the texture of another plugin

you can see this if you type ‘pt’ into the console

[tardy elk]

sooo I have to use handle x and handle y

[quiet rover]

yeah

higher handle x moves your image left, higher handle y moves your image up

[tardy elk]

Alr alr

Thanks👍

[quiet rover]

this is where the image ‘spawns’ btw (where the top left corner will be if you set both handles to 0)

[tardy elk]

Alright alright, I note that in my mind👍

[earnest pendant]

Help me please

I downloaded the plugin from the forum.

Why is it like this, even though my TheoTown is the newest version and so are the plugins

[eternal lake]

the plugin is faulty

that's it

[glacial isle]

yea so basically it's a plugin error which means:
1st line: idk
2nd line: the png image was not found.
if you want to play without the plugin, click the horizontal 3 lines and click disable

[silent hazel]

in the json of this plugin they are trying to load an image that doesn't exit, probably a typo cuz i get those very offten when i misspell the name of the image

yo pls i need help I made night animation for my trains but they don't change acording to the rotation of the train. instead they cycle between the frames (like what an animation is supposed to do but that's not what i want here lol" how can I make the night frames change with the day frames when the train turns arond?

this is the layout of both images. using V2

pretty please this is literally the last thing i am missing to finish it

[silent hazel]

FIXED!

but the solusion is not pretty

[silent hazel]

if you are having the same problem the way I fixed it was creating 8 night animations "count" 1 where i used the same image and just moved forward on "x" for every animation. and then after asigned each animation to its corresponding frame in the day animation

[novel flame]

Do nighttime and shaders not work on mobile? Or how do I get em to work

[dim oyster]

Shaders can be activated on settings > graphics > shaders.

[novel flame]

Im dumb brb

[dim oyster]

for nightime go to settings > gameplay > then activate whatever you'd like (day, night, real time, auto)

also this probably isn't plugin related

[reef hemlock]

Does anyone know a good bridge plugin

[quiet rover]

are you looking for a big bridge (over a large river or bay or something) or a small bridge (over a smaller river or creek)?

[reef hemlock]

Maybe both, prolly a plugin with raod decoration as bridges

[quiet rover]

these ones are pretty good, especially the benjamin franklin bridge

these two forum plugins are good for small bridges

[opal parcel]

[sacred swan]

Anyone knows what Plugin this Building is?

[manic mountain]

Ayo
I'm trying to make a greek-ish residential pack(with the kind of building shown in the photo)
¿Should i make the houses 1×1 or 2×2?
(I personally think 1×1 is better,mainly because i have a lot of stuff on 1×1,wich,only adding the roof of those,could be enough,and also because i tested it on 2×2 and it wasn't good)

[dry idol]

You could do both

Im making an argentine pack and I will do that

[bright sorrel]

Help why i can't use advanced road plugin really well on mobile?

[limpid pebble]

so I built a new plugin and I want its title to be Dakhineswar Kali Temple but the <drat_..._title> appears on it. Will it stay there when I upload the plugin in the forum?

here is what my plugin looks like

[dim oyster]

Add
"title": (insert name of building here),
"text": (insert description here)

[quiet rover]

remember to put "quotation marks" around the name and description

also, maybe consider adding shadows to the building image

also claim your daily diamonds

[warped briar]

Id say 2x2

Guys, I wanted to ask, I saw there was a plugin,a white taito arcade game building; But when I was looking for it, but it wasn't there? can you help me find it? thanks..., after this I want to look again..., so the characteristics are the Taito logo which is space invader in white and black, then in front of the entrance there is the writing Neon, Arcade..., like that...

thank you

[limpid pebble]

i add this in the .json file?

[dim oyster]

yes

[limpid pebble]

also I uploaded this plugin in the forum and it got Disapproved. I did read all the rules guidelines and as per that this plugin does fulfil the requirements for the style or quality of TheoTown plugins and I can't ask about why this plugin got disapproved in the forum so I'm asking that here. (It also has night animations)
What is wrong with this plugin?

[limpid pebble]

it has shadows

[quiet rover]

as in form shadows. you have cast shadows already but you need darker form shadows on the right side of the building

[eager dragon]

and yup, i didnt find it...

[limpid pebble]

what are form shadows?
I have to make the right side of the building darker than its left side?

[low shoal]

The colour selection is not great lol

[eager dragon]

yes

because the sun is from the left

[quiet rover]

in theotown yes, just look at any building in the game

[limpid pebble]

The right side of the building is actually darker than the left side in most parts. Do I make it even more dark or make the complete right side darker than the left side?

[limpid pebble]

it is actually how the building looks in real so

[quiet rover]

yes, and for the parts that are already dark make them darker

[quiet rover]

so pick the colours from that image, they would look much better

[limpid pebble]

alright got it

thank you so much @quiet rover @eager dragon @low shoal

[upper harness]

Can anyone help me on emergency lights animations for my emergency vehicle?

[low shoal]

You should use a more beigish yellow then

[vague scarab]

Yea,desaturate it or just pick color from image.

[earnest pendant]

Can anyone help?
Where is the category located so that there are no errors?

@vague scarab
Hope you can help.
-# Semoga anda bisa membantu.

[vague scarab]

You need to define the category first for the game.
-# Perlu bikin kode json kategori dulu,kamu belum bikin,cuma bangunan.

[earnest pendant]

Already.
-# Udah.

[cursive nest]

Puedo crear plugin's?

[low shoal]

yeah, see below

[tulip rock]

Press the link for a more comprehensive guide for plugin creation for beginners
The key points are summarised below:

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 is a tutorial on how to make a house by Kulche
And tips on how to improve plugin quality from rtobby
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 to make one. To make one manually, 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

[summer owl]

Making a plugin for my soviet micro districts but theotown doesn't have any good vanilla buildings, so I am making a tiny 1x1 fire dept and police dept in one. Is it possible to have that one building be able to react to emergencies?

Both type of emergencies

[grim zodiac]

Fire and police? I don't think it's possible though u can add influence which doesn't do much

[low shoal]

Influences prevent the incidents from happening

[grim zodiac]

What about sending vehicles? Can both work or still not?

[low shoal]

im not sure i dont work with vehicular buildings

but in theory maybe

One thing you can do is make a composition

you can make a composition of 2 buildings together 1 fire, 1 police, hide the original buildings and only have the composition draft visible

that would definitely work

[grim zodiac]

Ah that makes sense

[silent hazel]

is it possible to alter the influence pollution to 0 or null because I am trying to make clean industries that do not produce air pollution but it seems that the game overwrites it also my descriptions only won't work weirdly enough

i wanna know if it's even possible before spending hours trying to figure this out

[low shoal]

i mean probably not possible for industrial buildings

[silent hazel]

aw man

[low shoal]

you can make make the farms though which follows industrial demand

[silent hazel]

oh my you are right

[low shoal]

you can even make it appear in your own category if you were making a whole pack of buildings

[silent hazel]

i already have my own catergory yes. reading how to make the zoning but omg real thank you using the farm is a really smart idea i will do it now thx htx

[low shoal]

experience coming from trying to bypass game mechanics at every turn lmao

[summer owl]

Yeah but I want my small building to react to both but I like the idea of hiding a building only thing is I'm working with tiny amount of room and every tile counts

Might check if I can code it somehow

[eternal lake]

you can make a building with both influences and both car types

its not an issue

[summer owl]

But can that one building react to both emergencies?

And how would I do that

[eternal lake]

a building doesn't react to emergencies

cars do

just add appropriate cars to the building

[summer owl]

Ohhhh that makes so much more sense

Lmao

[summer owl]

So I would do type for police and another for fire?

[eternal lake]

what?

[summer owl]

On json

[eternal lake]

I have no idea what are you talking about

[summer owl]

Then add service cars?

To code it

😂😭

[eternal lake]

your question is completely incomprehensivle

try again

[summer owl]

How would I code that

Nvm I figured it out

[fading hedge]

apakah orang orang mau plugin ini?

advanced road but categorized

[willow bison]

coba ss hasilnya pas diterapin bang!

[fading hedge]

sama persis kyk advanced road, cuma bbrp hal gw tweak biar lebih presisi

[marsh lodge]

Mau

[willow bison]

bisa bentuk bundaran gede? mirip bundaran HI?

[fading hedge]

kanan kiri brp kotak?

[willow bison]

4-6 kotak, intinya tengah bisa dikasih oject

[subtle furnace]

@fading hedge @willow bison sorry for disturb. Sadly, we only can speak English here. 😅

[willow bison]

sorry may bad 😁

[subtle furnace]

Its fine. 🤣
I didn't want both of you got warning from Mods. 😭

[fading hedge]

sorry, i don't know that rule

[fading hedge]

like this?

[subtle furnace]

Nah nah. Its fine.
Maybe both of you can use #general-chat if still want talk using Bahasa. 👍

[willow bison]

Yes, like that, and in the center of the circle there will be an object placed, for example, a monument or anything else.

[fading hedge]

Do you think that line is a "road decoration" type? Is it a "ground" type that allows adding lines without using invisible road markings? Is that useful?

(menurut anda, garis itu merupakan type "road decoration", apakah type "ground" yg memungkinkan menambahkan garis tanpa perlu menggunakan road invisible itu berguna? langsung dipasang, tapi memiliki kekurangan, jika ada kesalahan, semua garis dalam satu kotak harus dihapus, dan tidak bisa di undo, itu berguna?)

[willow bison]

Yes, that's certainly useful, at least without having to do the work twice.

[fading hedge]

reread my message

[willow bison]

I think you just need to create a custom road texture template that is ready to use.

[fading hedge]

it will be double the work, and all the total templates can be quite a lot, around 2 or 4 times double, based on the possible template patterns

[willow bison]

I've seen several pre-made road templates in the store. I think you can create them too, so that users only need to connect the roads.

[fading hedge]

I don't know yet if it's possible to create a template like this, using multiple stacked "road decorations"

I will try to make it

somehow i got error after i place "zone":"$ruralzone.zarker" in building json

zone json it is can apply nicely but idk how to conect it to building

[eternal lake]

you are most likely loading the building before the zone

make sure the zone draft is loaded first

[fresh moth]

oo

how do that

[eternal lake]

you define the zone first

if they are in separate files, load the zone file first (files are loaded alphabetically)

[fresh moth]

aaaa

It is Advanced Road

[quiet rover]

no it’s not ??

they’re asking about the car

[true bane]

so do you need help with anything??

[mystic dagger]

Hey
I actually need a kind of road that's for pedestrians and bikes only - much like the in-game pavement in the road section of the transport.
The issue is I'm trying to make the road similar to pedestrian roads where they just "wander" and not go in straight line in a sidewalk.
The main obstacle is I'm trying to do all that with the ability of the services(fire,police,ambulance, garbage, funeral,delivery) to be able to access the roads when needed, but not regular cars or busses or any other vehicle.

[mystic dagger]

The code:
[
{
"id": "shared.pavement.ped.bike.01",
"type": "road",
"author": "Request/Draft",
"title": "Bustling Shared Pavement",
"text": "A seamless pedestrian and bicycle plaza. Blocks private cars/buses but allows all service and emergency access.",

"flat": true,
"v2": true,
"speed": 0.15,
"price": 60,
"monthly price": 1,

"category": "$cat_plugins",

"allow car": false,

"flag service": true,
"flag military": true,

"x flags": {
  "flag normal": false,
  "flag pedestrian": true,
  "flag bicycle": true,
  "flag service": true
},

"frames": [
  {"frame": 6, "steal": "$park01"}, {"frame": 6, "steal": "$park01"},
  {"frame": 6, "steal": "$park01"}, {"frame": 6, "steal": "$park01"},
  {"frame": 6, "steal": "$park01"}, {"frame": 6, "steal": "$park01"},
  {"frame": 6, "steal": "$park01"}, {"frame": 6, "steal": "$park01"},

  {"frame": 6, "steal": "$park01"}, {"frame": 6, "steal": "$park01"}
],

"diagonal": true

}
]

This is the code I can manage with my limited knowledge of the coding language and help of AI

[vague scarab]

Try this,this is the in game path code.

  {
    "id": "$pedestrian_road00",
    "type": "road",

[rough vale]

Hello, I have tried making some of my own plugins for my own use using the plugin creator from the portal site. I made one successfully for a school but I've tried doing a commercial building and I have a strange problem where I can't get it to stop floating.

[low shoal]

Crop the image properly

[rough vale]

It is already

[low shoal]

its the wrong width, you need to increase it by 4 on each side

[rough vale]

Ah, thank you so much. I spent way too much time on that lol.

[quiet rover]

or if you don’t want to add redundant blank pixels to your frame, you can add "handle y":-8, to your frame definition (the code moves the frame down 8px)

[twilit mirage]

anyone help me please i keep getting message"Error while reading your plugin: 4: Syntax error in "/EIS.json"" but when i try the plugin nothing is wrong and idk what to do about it😭

[eternal lake]

use jsonlint if you can't find it yourself
