[willow bison]

Please help me, I'm having trouble using fun, I was aiming to change the intersection but the result was a mess, all the road conditions changed.

[drowsy orbit]

am i doing this right?

[low shoal]

Why is height and width 0?

[drowsy orbit]

great question I don't know

but even when i dont add those command it would still show the error

[low shoal]

Well it doesn't work because its 0. You cant have a building thats less than a tile

[drowsy orbit]

let me try again and see

[low shoal]

You mean removing it? Youre supposed to set height and width to the real length of the buildings

In tiles

[drowsy orbit]

hmm

oh i get it

No errors but now the ship is gone

[low shoal]

Okayyy

How does your frame look?

[willow bison]

solved now, thanks

[drowsy orbit]

I hate doing the handle

[low shoal]

If you hate doing handle, get the image right

You used the correct template?

[drowsy orbit]

Frame is 132 in height and width is 225

[low shoal]

That doesnt sound very divisible by 32

Can you take the template tiles and arrange in below the ship on your app?

[low shoal]

No wonder you cant get your ship on that place

Anyway your longer tiles would be 8

[drowsy orbit]

yeah happens all the time to some of my plugins

[low shoal]

Its 8 tiles

For width or heigh I dont know but whichever way is the long way is 8

[drowsy orbit]

you cant go above 8?

[low shoal]

You said its 225 pixels in width?

[drowsy orbit]

yeah

[low shoal]

Thats 7.03 tiles.

Round to 8

[drowsy orbit]

alright give me a sec

[drowsy orbit]

am i missing something?

[low shoal]

Can you send me the plugin file?

[drowsy orbit]

Of course

[low shoal]

I mean including the png

[drowsy orbit]

let me dm you

[drowsy orbit]

dm

[low shoal]

use 13 and this handle. I removed a frame from since i was using a separate json for testing to reduce varables. Should work fine with both your frames.

also by the way

you dont need your "w" "h" attributes in frames

[drowsy orbit]

Thank you so much

[drowsy orbit]

Gotcha

[low shoal]

The funny thing is height and width attributes use tiles but "w" and "h" use pixels. So you were essentially telling the game to only load the first 2 pixels in width and like 12 pixels in height (which was pretty much nothing)

The same way that y and x uses inverse values and handle uses positive values.

[drowsy orbit]

Yeah that’s what I thought too when I was looking through some examples in the forum

[low shoal]

Its just that when you use handle, youre telling the game you want to move the point of reference which is the right most edge of the baseplate. You move that reference point up, down or left on the frame itself. You use x and y for animations and the top of the animation frame is set on the point of origin. So youre moving that up and down when you use x and y.

[arctic haven]

.

[drowsy orbit]

I've met with another problem

i did change "handle y" to "handle x" but this was the end result

[low shoal]

Why would you change handle y to handle x?

Handle x doesnt need changing handle y should be the one youre adjusting

[drowsy orbit]

because it didnt show up anything when it was facing west

[low shoal]

Which handles are you currently using?

The values

[drowsy orbit]

x

i did why at first and though changing it to x would fix it

[low shoal]

Remove both x and y

Start from there

[drowsy orbit]

wait how do you calculate the value for the handl

[drowsy orbit]

oke

[low shoal]

I usually just eyeball where I need to be and trial and error it or count pixels if I want to be really precise

[drowsy orbit]

lol i thought there would be some specific calculations for that which i guess there is

[low shoal]

You might actually need to set a negative y value there

But id need to see where the boat is at both 0 first then I can give you a guess

[drowsy orbit]

That's both 0 values

[low shoal]

Okay

[drowsy orbit]

give me the math equation

[low shoal]

Try 64 on y

It would move the ship up by 4 tiles

[drowsy orbit]

Did not move an inch

can I value be x?

cause it did work before

[low shoal]

X should already be fine since it just reads the left most value

Let me test it on my pc again I suppose

[drowsy orbit]

Just in case, this is the curent file

[low shoal]

Do you want the easy solution to this?

Youre right by the way, it is handle x, probably cause its a rotation frame but I just cant get the frame positioned so that the entire ship is on the tile

I could try something hold on

[drowsy orbit]

If it is the fastest

[drowsy orbit]

I had the same problem with my other plugins and was able to position it correctly I just cant remember how though

[rocky geode]

wait, rectangular base buildings are allowed now? since when? isn't a composition?

[eternal lake]

they are here for a good few months now

[rocky geode]

that's amazing

A lot of things have happened since i left huh

[steady tendon]

Why have I not received a response from the moderators Theotown regarding the issue with uploading my plugin, even though I have already waited for a full 7 days?

[grand spruce]

Plugin moderation is not something we deal with here

Sorry about your luck

As the system has changed we are no longer involved in that aspect

[quiet rover]

what changed and since when?

[low shoal]

Previous plugin store mods were removed (most likely since they were inactive anyway). I think its just lobby and maybe ja who do them now

[steady tendon]

🫠

[keen gyro]

Does anyone know what the fathest extending/ best hospital, police station, and fire department plugins?

[low shoal]

The main fire station eith upgrade is pretty good

[twilit mirage]

anyone know how to change frame using fun? I use this code to do it , but it didn't work , the frame just lock onto the same frame for all rotation

[spring temple]

Dawg what the hell

[fresh moth]

plugin bad not updated before update

[fresh moth]

u right that plugin maybe banned

[dim oyster]

negative monthly price isn't allowed.

i think in the past negative MP was used to create monthly income, but it got changed and old plugins with monthly income wont work unless it got updated

or the plugin creator lost its privileges and the plugin doesn't work anymore

[paper spire]

Dawg I was wondering why there were random empty patches in my city, until I realized this happened

[spring temple]

Dang and theocash, dang it

The cash plugin, I'm pretty it only replaces diamonds (cause I don't like the diamond currency)

[unreal marsh]

should be limited 5, if fixed

[shadow geyser]

Sorry, I changed his World Trade Center without the approval of Snow Goose, because I can't find him. I think he may have quit the community for many years. If anyone knows his account number, please tell me thank you!

I recreated the night scene I drew seven months ago

remake

original

🫂

Snow Goose

[drowsy orbit]

ah ok

[shadow geyser]

I made two night scenes

[little wraith]

wow its so pretty, where to download it?

[spring temple]

How would a texture harm the gameplay

It just replaces the diamond texture.. there's nothing harmful about it

[eternal lake]

looks like stephanie lost their privileges

nothing we can do about it

[grim zodiac]

Im so confused about this
I did everything right

[eternal lake]

1. thumbnail is not supposed to be an object

2. 001 is probably not an acceptable number

pretty sure versions have to be integer

[grim zodiac]

Ooohh
Wait what's the thumbnail supposed to be

[eternal lake]

did you see the tutorial

[grim zodiac]

I just picked whatever image there is

[eternal lake]

that's not relevant

[shadow geyser]

I can't make it public because I didn't agree with the original author.

[little wraith]

ohhhh

[bright meadow]

Hello everyone, friends, I don't know where exactly to ask, so I'll ask here. What happened to the site for converting a zip file into an encrypted ttplugin file? The site converts, but the file does not work. The game does not see him. And this problem is not only with me, but with several other people. What could be the trouble? 😁

[low shoal]

yes its been brought to my attention

Ill ask lobby

[static berry]

bruh how erase water in my plugin

@eternal lake help? pls

[eternal lake]

why did you ping me specifically

"draw ground": true

[static berry]

i am Karmageddon

u help me before

@fresh moth

[bright meadow]

Thank you😁

[eternal lake]

okay...?

[bright meadow]

You should also lower the texture, otherwise you have it flying😁

[static berry]

done xD i try upload this to store hopefully will available

[bright meadow]

This is very good😁👍🏻

[tawny sphinx]

Enriqueeee

[quasi trench]

So Theotown Steam users get free access to plugins that would have needed diamonds to pay in the mobile version?

[low shoal]

Yes, thats because Steam version is paid up front

[quasi trench]

I see.

[crimson pendant]

Do anyone have an file of the "area duplicador plugin" because idk what i did, but it always show: "got nil". In other devices it works fine.

I tried to unstail it in the store, with the file manager and get it again, however it didn't solve the problem.

(As I will only be able to see responses tomorrow, thanks to anyone who can help)

So the frame size is 38×18

Does it have to be like this, or can it be expanded...?

Tag: bug? (It dosent crash)
Plataform: Android
Game version: 1.12.62a

List of plugins: I uninstalled everything

It cant copy roads, buildings and decorations are fine.

(I choose to use the legacy version)
*please for the love of God ignore this, please, i beg you

[low shoal]

Legacy version?

[rotund fern]

What app do yo guys use to write the code?

[low shoal]

visual studio code

well for pc

i dont think theres anything good on mobile

[rotund fern]

Ohh,thanks

[crimson pendant]

It's just about the UI, even if I change it, the error stays. (Sorry for the confusion)

[low shoal]

What do you mean by legacy version?

[crimson pendant]

@low shoal
This option. It DOSEN'T matter, since the error occurs with this enabled or not

[low shoal]

can you post that here again

the error message

we can get the plugin creator to have a look at it then

[crimson pendant]

.

[crimson pendant]

..

[crimson pendant]

Just replying is enough?

(Is the grammar correct?)

[low shoal]

is it only when copying roads, or all buildings?

[crimson pendant]

Just roads.

If i copy a building it works

If i copy a road it dosen't work

If i copy a building and road it dosent work

[low shoal]

@hollow flax mind checking on this sometime?

[hollow flax]

no, blame lobby first. 😂 idk, but after update, some lua functions are broken

[low shoal]

lol, thats theotown in a nutshell for you
every few days i have a new bug to email lobby about to fix

wonder why the game gets nil though

last time the game got nil from a plugin was because it was doing something with settings (like 2-3 weeks ago)

[gaunt girder]

oh God i hate coding

[eternal lake]

where on earth did you get image from

[mystic python]

Can someone please tell if age of sail is there for download?

Idk if I can trust the website it takes me to

[gaunt girder]

Notepad+++

[eternal lake]

?????

"image"

its supposed to be "bmp"

[gaunt girder]

Ok

[eternal lake]

if you used ai for that, its a bad idea

[gaunt girder]

+- used there

At first I used from forum but got confused

[eternal lake]

tf does that mean

as i said

just dont

[gaunt girder]

Ok

[twilit kindle]

Hi! I'm having a strange problem. There seem to be no errors in the code, but frames 2 and 4 of the animation are moving downwards. The night animation frame, like the building, is divided by a "count". I've never had this problem before, even though the code was identical.

[low shoal]

ah the coordinates are a little different for those frames

you might have to experiment a little

[twilit kindle]

I don't understand what's wrong myself. My old plugin works with literally the exact same code, and everything is fine. The only difference between the plugins is that the old one has 4x4 buildings, and the new one has 5x3.

[low shoal]

yeah thats what im saying, you need different coordinates for the other frames since its not square

[twilit kindle]

I found a way around this, but I'd like to know if this will be fixed in future game updates. Because if it is, my animations will become unusable.

[low shoal]

I dont think its a bug though

Its just the way non square animations work

Kulche can probably explain it better than me

It should be fine for square buildings still

[eternal lake]

the point of origin is always the leftmost pixel

there's no bug here

[ruby basalt]

So I made a plugin and coded it and it showed up on the app but it’s blank?

Like just says the name of plugin and invisible building builds up

[low shoal]

you probably messed up the graphics

[eternal lake]

can't help without the frames/json

[low shoal]

youd want to keep the sapce to the left and bottom accounting for the plate and then crop from the top

[static berry]

is there any code to make theotown thinking this plugin is update from this plugin other than manifest ?

[eternal lake]

what..?

[static berry]

maybe there re version in json id ?

[eternal lake]

what on earth are you trying to say

there's no such thing as a version attribute for drafts

[low shoal]

There is

But it doesnt do anything

[eternal lake]

wait is there fr

[low shoal]

Yoi wnat the game to show theres a plugin update?

[low shoal]

I remember using it long back

Okay thats misinformation (im pretty sure I used it but its not real)

[eternal lake]

lol

[low shoal]

There is minimum and max version though

Which is in terms sif game version

[winter acorn]

how do i install plugin from the forum website ?

[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.

[winter acorn]

i'm on pc btw

[vague scarab]

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.

[winter acorn]

ok, but i asked how to install from the website

bc there's no download button for the plugins

[vague scarab]

Which one?

Mind providing screenshot.

WIN + SHIFT + S btw

[winter acorn]

dont see the download

[winter acorn]

ik

[vague scarab]

You could download those from in game store instead.

[winter acorn]

?

oh

i see

[vague scarab]

That specific page is used to index plugins,otherwise if youre plugin creator,you could download your uploaded plugin there too.

[white pike]

Can zones place multiple types of buildings?

Like for instance, a zone that can place both residential and commercial

[static berry]

idk

i still play arroud that now

can

[white pike]

not to sound rude but please if you don't know then you don't have to respond let alone enable reply+ping

[low shoal]

You could check on pca and see if you can make a draft like that

[static berry]

its can. ok.

[vague scarab]

You could.

[static berry]

do there re ai can draw pixel art ?

my draw kinda su k

[vague scarab]

No,ai cant make true theotown style pixel art either.

[mint siren]

Guys can someone help me? I want to make a plugin, but I dont know how to start. I am using pixel studio to draw. But I am confused about the dimensions and size. Should I draw on small canvas like 64x64 or 1000x1000? And what should be the size of the image?

[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

[low shoal]

Get a baseplate

[static berry]

thanks for asking i get pixel station. its seem good for draw plugin

[vapid bay]

How to delete a plugin I already found a better one

[low shoal]

disable it. you can do it by pressing the bulldozer icon on the store page

[dreamy roost]

Why is plugins only loading for me

[low shoal]

Is jt not loading?

By the screen size, I assume thats mobile

Which in that case its most likely an issue with connection

[dreamy roost]

Oh alr

[proper gust]

How should i do this to my plugin when this message pop up? 😭

[low shoal]

press ok and continue

[proper gust]

But should i add manifest script or other method to make plugin usable in-game

[low shoal]

its usable without it

it just wont appear in the local plugins of the plugin store

[proper gust]

Can you show me the method of make it loaded (cuz i downloaded it from discord server)?

[low shoal]

they should be in the categories the author put them in

[little ingot]

Were plugins nerfed?

[low shoal]

yeah

[little ingot]

Logged into the game today, and I'm overwhelmed by the changes. Some buildings don't exist anymore, and are in the error tag

[vapid bay]

Since when

[low shoal]

january

[unreal marsh]

many plugins are gradual nerf I think. The value is dropped at some time

[low shoal]

It was influences, power and water at first then aspects later

[vapid bay]

Do I keep the frame size 32x16? Iam using a 1x1 on piskel

Resize too?

[unreal marsh]

Some value keep retain, some are dropped, as time passes. This include values and radius

[low shoal]

They were balanced. Only non balanced once were changed

[vague scarab]

Kalau ngecit mikir mas.

[gaunt fog]

They destroyed the plugins and many cities; it makes you not even want to play...

https://tenor.com/view/funny-gif-11026644638307910936

[eternal lake]

womp womp

I'm not sure why would you expect to be able to use overpowered plugins

[gaunt fog]

Sure, as if their base game structures were efficient. The game has always been carried by plugins, and now they are destroying them

[eternal lake]

I'm not sure how is that relevant..?

[vapid bay]

Where can I get pixly it's not in Google store

[grim zodiac]

Search it on a browser

[graceful compass]

Good morning, Chile/Latin America time. I just wanted to ask, and I apologize for my terrible English. With the new update, many of my mods, including one I used a lot for copying sections, are now obsolete. Is there a solution? Or will I have to wait a month for all the mods to be updated? Greetings from the city of Pripyat, a city of 10k and growing, with 95% happiness.

[steady tendon]

Is it correct that the place "h":"-10 is there?

[vague scarab]

Negative h or w shouldnt work i remember,it's supposed to be only for x or y

[steady tendon]

But is that really the place?

-# Tapi apakah itu benar-benar tempat yang tepat?

[vague scarab]

What are you making specifically?

[steady tendon]

Thx

[tender abyss]

i saw some cool plugins on tiktok, there were military tanks and soldier moving around, you could choose where a missilie hits, and when the missile hits ur game basically turns into a news outlet talking about the missile hit. any idea what plugins these are? it didnt say in the video. might be hard to figure out since my explaining is horrible

[sonic shadow]

Is there a way to replace the installed DSA road with a normal road as a whole? I want to replace it because the DSA road doesn't have animations of people walking on the side or street lights.

[dry idol]

Hi there dear compatriot, I think theres nothing you can do, they were updated because of balancing

[proper gust]

Why ts keep happening 😭

[low shoal]

You can just press okay. Its because your plugin doesnt have any manifest files. Shouldn't cause any issues though

[proper gust]

But how to add manifest file, since that plugin is pack consists of 9 building?

[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/

Unfinish project

[fickle field]

Hi friends, I'm having a problem with my plugin (it's a Lamborghini Urus). When I added the night animation, it only works correctly with certain color variations (there are 9 color variations, and it's worth noting that they ALL have the same dimensions; basically, only the color changes). I've attached some screenshots of the error and the code. As you can see in the screenshots, it works fine with some variations but not with others. I hope you can help me.

[slender pendant]

How do I put TheoTown file plugins on my PC?

[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.

[low shoal]

Move them to your plugin folder

it will be in your main theotown folder

use the bots message to help you locate that

[peak sapphire]

question, what is difference between override and inherit?

[eternal lake]

override is like deleting the old draft and replacing it with your new one

inherit is just changing the specified attributes while keeping the rest

[slender pendant]

after going to the TheoTown folder where do I go?

[slender pendant]

I can't find this plugins folder on my computer

[low shoal]

Show screenshot

[slender pendant]

ok

[low shoal]

Try following this directory

[slender pendant]

I didn't find it

[low shoal]

Try finding it from inside ethe game then

[slender pendant]

I found this

[low shoal]

Yeah press plugins then press import here and select the file

Then restart the game

[slender pendant]

thank you very much

[slender pendant]

this appeared

[low shoal]

just press ok

that isnt an issue

[slender pendant]

There are plugins that don't appear, so I can't use them

[low shoal]

they only appear here if they dont have manifest files. shouldnt cause any issues

[grand veldt]

Is it possible to display different night scene animations in winter and summer in the game?

[low shoal]

Probably yes

[eternal lake]

i believe the attribute would be "in winter": true

its used when you attach the animation to a draft, not in the animation draft itself

(although i think it could work in both??)

[grand veldt]

👌

can we change any id's specific attributes, through the way without overriding the existing id？

@eternal lake 🥲 I need help

Actually I don't know why but I am unable to update the game through the playstore and I am facing the exact same issue for 1 month.

[eternal lake]

why did you ping me specifically..?

[granite frost]

I can delete the game and install it but I just can't update it

[eternal lake]

besides, that doesn't sound like a plugin issue

what do you mean you "can't"

[granite frost]

Because I know you can help...

[eternal lake]

in the future, refrain from pinging anyone when looking for support

[granite frost]

Ok

The issue is if I delete the game all of my plugins will also get deleted...

I don't want that

🥲

What should I do

answer my question

[granite frost]

I meant It's not updating at all.

My Grammer is not that good...

I dont see anywhere indicating a download, am I blind?

[grand veldt]

Is there a way to adjust the transparency of an image using code?

[tulip rock]

One of the methods to download plugins is via the Plugin store. You can access the store by clicking on the green arrow icon in the top right on mobile, or by clicking the gear icon in the bottom left on steam.

Features of the plugin store include:

• Moderated plugins: Plugins on the store have to be approved by a plugin moderator. This negates the possibility of any plugin on the store being malicious.
• Automatic updates: Plugins you have installed will automatically be updated if a new version is made available.
• Categories to view newly added plugins, featured plugins, specific categories and more!

The plugin store also allows you to disable or delete installed plugins, to delete click "≡" and navigate to installed plugins, find the plugin in which you would like to delete and press the bulldozer can icon. You can reinstall deleted plugins later on at no cost.

-# For information regarding forum plugins please use "Ptag Forum Plugins" in #bot-commands.

[low shoal]

You can only download them from inside the game

[low shoal]

Make the background transparent

Also crop all the empty space at the bottom

[warped lantern]

Thanks guy 😊👍❤️;)

[quiet rover]

if you coded it with "toggle light": true then the light should only be visible when you set the game to night

[warped lantern]

I use ligth and switch light and all them is in true

[quiet rover]

yeah so you need to turn the game to night if you want to see the light. do you know how to do that?

[warped lantern]

Yes

[quiet rover]

your screenshot seems to be in daytime

that’s all

[warped lantern]

Thsnks

Guys it work thanks, but i have a problem my plugin house is flouting
My plugin y-axis is -30 and my x-axis is 0
And the light animation doesn't work.
I think I shall just remove switch ligth attributes cuz of probability

[quiet rover]

is it possible to make road deco rotation-aware on a 4-way intersection? i know the normal way to make road deco rotation-aware is tied to the 16 frames of a road, which only has one frame for a 4-way intersection, so it can't be changed for different rotations.

[eternal lake]

can't you simply make the animation attached to the 16th frame rotation aware?

[quiet rover]

i don't think so, unless i'm missing something, the 16th frame is the 16th frame of an animation (bc all road decos are defined as animations), and i don't suppose you could fit 4 frames into one frame...?

[steel cape]

You could put 4 animation on the indices tho, or am I just not understanding your question enough

[eternal lake]

thats not how it works

but I'm not entirely sure how would one achieve that so I'll leave it up to you

[quiet rover]

upon reflection yeah, you can put several animations on an array in the indices, but this will only make all of the specified animations appear at once, not make it rotation-aware

[steel cape]

What are you making btw?

[quiet rover]

#plugin-discussion message

i want to have the pieces that aren’t 4-way symmetrical to be rotation aware regardless of the road they’re placed on

[steel cape]

Why not make it a one way road? So everything will line up properly?

[quiet rover]

that’s a potential solution, but i don’t really want ppl to have to deal with adjusting the directions of the road to work, i just want it to be a deco that you can place on any road base

if there isn’t a solution i might just not make it rotation aware

on reflection making it one-way mightn’t be so bad, i’ll have a think about it

[high ledge]

I need help, I installed a plugin in the forums, then placed the file in the plugin file, still doesn't appear in game.

See in terrain or under road

Doesn't seem to be there.

And I'm also not sure if this is the right channel to post this.

[tulip rock]

If, after installing any of Hadestia's plugins your game fails to launch and it displays a Lua error, usually the fix is to remove that specific newly installed plugin.

[frigid musk]

[frigid musk]

may i get your crash.txt logs

[tulip rock]

1. Use the appropriate tag that best describes your issue.
2. Select the correct platform tag (e.g., Android, PC, iOS) related to your problem.
3. Include your game version to help with compatibility checks.
4. Attach relevant files:
   • crash.txt
   • log.txt
   • out.txt
     These are located in your TheoTown directory (check Ptag files for your system’s location).
5. List any plugins you have installed.
6. Detail reproduction steps: Clearly explain how the issue can be recreated.

💥 Reporting Crashes

When submitting a crash report, describe the exact moment or conditions under which the crash occurred. If the crash is reproducible, please include that information — it greatly helps us test and resolve the issue faster.

[steel verge]

A function exists to GET text from a URL, but it is restricted to privileged plugin creators, maybe not even accessible to them.

[tight thunder]

hm

[tight thunder]

why would get be restricted

[steel cape]

Imagine the link lead to Rick Roll

As most fratures that are locked, to keep it to trusted creators only to orevent abuse of the feature

Is there any plugin to control traffic??? Can Increase or decrease traffic of a particular road on my will??

Not a particular road, but you can overall by turning on debug and experimental and then toggling through the different traffic volume options

How do I install plugins from the forums?

[quiet rover]

#information message

[tulip rock]

In theotown, there are two types of plugins, ones either with a manifest file and ones without. Manifest plugins are from the plugin store whereas those without are from the forums or other online communities. Theotown allows this so plugin creators can have private plugins. In short, a manifest file lists the files in the app, describes how they are used and sometimes specifies paths. Today I want to show you a guide on how to install plugins without a manifest:

Method:
1: First you install the file. You should close theotown first before step 2 as well or your save could be corrupted

2: After installing the file, you should see it in the downloadeds section of your device. You can find you file explorer below here:

• Windows: File Explorer
• MacOS: Finder
• Linux: Nautilus (GNOME often called just files), Dolphin (KDE Plasma), Thunar (XFCE), Caja (MATE), PCManFM (LXDE/LXQt)
• Android: My files (Samsung), File Manager (Xiaomi), Files (Huawei), File Manager (Oppo/Vivo), Files (IpadOS/IOS)
• Other: Files (Chrome OS), Docs (Amazon Fire OS), Nokia: Gallery/File Explorer

3: After locating the file, copy (or cut the file) and find the theotown folder - not the game - and then go to plugins (NOT MANAGED PLUGINS) and paste it. (Not “sample plugin” either: #town-square message )

4: After doing that, open up theotown. It will give you a warning for no manifest, ignore and continue.

5: If you cannot find the plugin, go into the plugin files and type the name into the search bar

I using it in my plugin,also very useful for decal and fences since they can't be combined because their frames get used for the code

[obtuse dawn]

What's the code for offering same frames repeatedly? such as using 16 frames to make a one-way?

you just provide the same frame multiple times?

or use "copies" if you want to shorten your json by those 2 lines or something

[grand spruce]

I am not one to really speak on this, but with the changes made to the supply systems and such due to all the abuse that we had whenever the mass of Indonesians showed up, that may not be possible anymore

[bright rain]

Well idk then because my JSON says exactly that and they still need both

[bright rain]

Ah, that would explain why it was changed then. I assume I'll have to use my plugin privilege then

Thanks

[grand spruce]

I would say so! And no problem, like I said I could be wrong, but I am assuming that's the issue

[bright rain]

Would you also happen to know how I can disable car spawns? My primitive zones seem to be spawning regular cars. Probably due to their types

[grand spruce]

That is out of my wheelhouse, if I am being honest

That's alright, I'm sure someone else will answer. Thanks though

Debt experimental and then you should be able to find it

[winged storm]

Can someone help me with some plugins? Someone who speaks Brazilian Portuguese, please.

[low shoal]

Try #plugin-talk #language-information should tell you whT language mods we got

[obtuse dawn]

just keep practice and you would be better.

[chilly trout]

could you send the link to leafs plugin server?

[bright meadow]

Comrades, greetings to everyone. A question to fill in, maybe who knows. How to put 50+ png textures into one id of one transport object? I've been racking my brains all day. Previously, you could do this, just specify the plural png in one bmp section, but now apparently you can't do that. I apologize for the accuracy, I write through a translator.⚡

[dark hawk]

Example
Like a car spawner or deco?

[bright meadow]

Yes. Like a generator. I am preparing a new part of Ostrovsk Freight Transport, but the whole development has stopped. Just because of this. I want to make a truck system😁

[dark hawk]

It’s a building?

[bright meadow]

Well, it depends. Initially, I wanted to make it so that from one model, a specific model of Tractor appears, and with it, the Tail of 1 of the 20+ models of Well

[grand spruce]

Something like this

"frames":[{"bmp":"Image1.png"},
{"bmp":"Image2.png"},
{"bmp":"Image3.png"},
{"bmp":"Image4.png"},
{"bmp":"Image5.png"}],

There ya go Forge

The bot is not a fan of 1.png as it's used by alot of discord scams to order images

[bright meadow]

So I tried initially, but it doesn't work😁

[grand spruce]

I am just posting what Forge could not xD

I am not a good source of help on plugin things

[dark hawk]

Check the ,

There’s another way but harder

Like you have to put all the frame and the lengths heights and 🤯

[bright meadow]

Yes, he tried. Of the entire list, he puts only the very first one. Unfortunately, he doesn't take anything further. Although, in truth, this method has always worked before

[dark hawk]

Today I made a plugin and used this method and works perfectly

[bright meadow]

Hm

And you can go into more detail about how and what to do better. I just don't understand😁 much through the translator. I just didn't understand what specific method worked in the end

[peak sapphire]

Just search user "theleaf" and then know the rest yourself

[dusty wind]

Guys

Why can’t I hear music when playing the game?

[low shoal]

What device are you on?

[dusty wind]

Phone

I turn on 100% yet i can’t hear anything

[dark hawk]

Volume too?

[urban shuttle]

guys can anyone tell me how to get this on theotown pc ?
#plugin-showcase message

[eternal lake]

download it and put it 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.

[urban shuttle]

mb i thought that building files show up in the plugins menu, but it turned out that they work without showing

[bright meadow]

So, guys. No more ways to make a lot of png files, for 1 car id?

[dark hawk]

Show the plugin and what you want to do

[lime hazel]

how can i downlod plugins from https://forum.theotown.com ?

[peak sapphire]

I just found out that there's limit when making non square building

[quiet rover]

for rci only though

[obtuse dawn]

Is it possible to replace the night graphics of origin game with custom one? like replacing other resource such as water and background etc.?

[eternal lake]

yeah why not

[peak sapphire]

What RCI mean? just asking

[quiet rover]

residential commercial industrial, the zonable buildings

[peak sapphire]

The weird part, that's plugin is decoration type, I thought that's shouldn't happen

[quiet rover]

hmm maybe check again?

[peak sapphire]

The game just doesn't want it so I just make it separated, maybe it's possible using composition but I don't know how to use it

[eternal lake]

show code

[quiet rover]

yeah what i was gonna say

[steel verge]

decoration IS considered RCI

[peak sapphire]

So that's why, there's nothing related to RCI here
I don't have problem with that now, i need tutorial how to use composition

[steel verge]

well decorations are RCI

they are part of the same classification as the actual RCI buildings

[peak sapphire]

So does that mean everything that placeable consider RCI

[steel verge]

No

Only the regular RCIs you would expect and decorations

[eternal lake]

peak lobby moment

[quiet rover]

yeah so just change it to "type":"award" or something

anything other than rci and deco should have a max size of 64 (?)

[steel verge]

Post plugin bugs here.

[analog wedge]

ight

[bright rain]

I swear to God, I'd better not get any more "my city is losing money and I don't know why" reports lol

[steel verge]

Guess I'm hotwiring a game notification if it detects prison id

Gib prison id @bright rain

[bright rain]

What?

There are many IDs

Maybe too many...

[steel verge]

Give me one

[bright rain]

Alright

$cat_prison00

[steel verge]

Also please refrain from using such IDs

Add kt or something

Because new game buildings and features may have the same id

[zenith plover]

Ye do please make something. or kingtut should make something like that because I absolutely didn't expect my city to actually lose money cuz convicts

[bright rain]

ITS IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PLUG-IN

That description isn't there for looks, you know

Lol

Don't take that first line too seriously

[zenith plover]

oh yes?

didn't see that

who ever reads plugin description other than normal people

[analog wedge]

How?

EDIT : found the problem, I thought this is 3x3 but its 4x4

[fiery olive]

@analog wedge Remove the outlines

[tardy halo]

Delete and download

[lime rapids]

What can i do to stop this sign?

I already put "energy": 0 or "energy": false

[bright rain]

Try power instead

[eternal lake]

"power":0

or water

[lime rapids]

Thanks Ku!

[eternal lake]

🙃

[frigid arch]

So uhmm... There is a small error in the apartment mega pack

[earnest pendant]

What a hell?

[steel verge]

Not a bug.

Says whether your plugin has conflicting IDS

[earnest pendant]

I changed the id

I wrote the "once":true but still wrong

idk if that's for us

but for Americans, rip

[steel verge]

It's fine

it also shows for your plugins

[earnest pendant]

What can i do??

[terse sequoia]

Ho can create json for this building

[earnest pendant]

read #information

[queen karma]

@primal crystal you have to put the image in the folder where the json file is

[terse void]

Or try removing the space

Spaces are the bane of my existence

[earnest pendant]

Somebody who will help me?

Oh

[steel verge]

comma after level

[earnest pendant]

Maybe I should add ,

[steel verge]

comma after level attribute

[earnest pendant]

Hi dude
here I found one mistake ... on the bridges of your road I see a bug with a fence, can you fix it?
@pastel mason

[pastel mason]

@earnest pendant tap the bridge and select the appropriate bridge type

like this

then connect both ends with a normal bridge

[earnest pendant]

о, thenks bruh

[pastel mason]

np

[frigid arch]

Is it possible to put a road underneth the diagon bridge?

[vale minnow]

Try it

Maybe it doesn't work or it does

[pastel mason]

@frigid arch no it doesn't, sadly

[earnest pendant]

This is the Japanese train plugin, it creates trains that go to the nearest turn in the track and then turn back on themselves, never reaching any other station

And then sometimes it makes 2 trains that block each other

[earnest pendant]

The only kind-of-solution I found was making all tracks single-direction

[eternal lake]

I think that cannot be fixed with current car system.

[bright rain]

That's just how the game's AI works

Nothing we can really do

[earnest pendant]

Alright I'll just make it a loop then

Is it any better if the trains are looping left as opposed to right?

[bright rain]

No idea

[earnest pendant]

What I need to do?

Pretty sure you can't do anything, you can report the plugin though and hope the creator fixes it

ок

[river depot]

The creator of this plugin created 2 plugins , bot of them doesn't work

With the same problem

: may not find image

[pliant knoll]

Lol
Normally it shouldn't be approved if its not working

[bright rain]

I've been told that they don't test the plug-ins before approval

[fiery olive]

ah

[vale minnow]

The person who makes the Plugin needs to test it

And then give it to someone els if it really works

[wind dew]

Ummm I downloaded a few plugins and my phone put there file type to .php... What do I do to unzip them

Also yes I am still alive if any one remembers me /_/

[steel verge]

Something went wrong it appears.

.php is file for websites

[wind dew]

I press the download for the .zip and it's the .php

[steel verge]

try renaming it to .zip extension

[deep tiger]

What happened there?

Someone used my plugin ilegally to make another one?

[cedar stone]

Maybe he is getting your plugin via the store but he already has the plugin dowloaded

Just delete the file that you have

[grand spruce]

@azure zephyr who's plugin is it?

[azure zephyr]

Try putting it (for animations I recommend on the top) outside of the upgrades

[steel verge]

i solved it

[cunning echo]

The flashing blue lights what plugin is that from they are messing up my traffic

[analog wedge]

Ambulance light I guess..

[cunning echo]

But there’s no model

And I can’t be Ambulance because there model are still normal

And I have no modded hospitals built

[river depot]

@cunning echo those blue lights are from ambulances from a hospital plugin

[cunning echo]

@river depot I have hospital plugins but there not places

@river depot nvm you where right thank you

[steep briar]

What is the name of creator night and day plugins

I need to download that

[pliant knoll]

Lobbu

[forest sierra]

@cunning echo it's green one

circlish green hospital

[analog wedge]

what

@earnest pendant Did you ping me?

[last venture]

Length = 3291 too huge

It has to be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

[earnest pendant]

why?

[eternal lake]

you dont want to have a 3k tiles long building

[earnest pendant]

@eternal lake nah i wasn't asking to plobster "why?". I was asking to @earnest pendant, but as i see he deleted his message.

[eternal lake]

ah

sry

[earnest pendant]

nah

no problem

[analog wedge]

deleted his messages

Hmmmm

suspicious

[deep tiger]

Lol

[last venture]

@earnest pendant because those will only work

it may sound small but it isn’t

Example. Width = 1 Height = 1 would equal a one tile building

Dang it I read your message wrong sorry

[earnest pendant]

bruh

no problem

[earnest pendant]

OOF

A hole in the Bridge

End one...

On "one-way road" trains can't drive...

You MUST fix it

[earnest pendant]

hmmmm

:)

[earnest pendant]

Yeah

[earnest pendant]

so it isn't bug

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[earnest pendant]

No

Trains can't drive on "one-way" road

On plugin "Indonesian train fool pack"
