crop your image as much as possible

Nothing

does it work?
hot sluice
No
eternal lake
can I see the code?
hollow flax
Can i see your frames codes? Just "frames":[{...}], <this line
hot sluice
eternal lake
I don't recommend using spaces " " in ID definition, use hard spaces "_" instead.
hot sluice
Oh it work but size not right
eternal lake
also, RCI buildings don't support text/title/price/monthly price
the frame def is ok
I guess you didn't crop the image
eternal lake
can I see it?
hollow flax
I see, just set "w":?px,"h":?px in frames arays.
eternal lake
are you sure you changed the file?
hot sluice
Yes
eternal lake
looks weird

I wouldn't use them in single-frame definitions

is there a square bracket at the very beginning?

You do have a comma after a bracket, is that intentional?
I don't use json often but the code seems ok
last venture
no comma is always used if its not the last line in the group
last venture
i don't know honestly
eternal lake
in my knowledge upgrade definitions don't need types
last venture
all i want to know what that error is
last venture
all i want is a building that is restricted unless you have a certain upgrade lol
earnest pendant
Huh, did you miss a period some where?
last venture
i did not miss anything
eternal lake
I think it should have "UPGRADE" as type
earnest pendant
It looks ok
last venture
and keep the "id"?
last venture
so just type upgrade?
eternal lake
probably
last venture
ja prob knows but he aint answering
eternal lake
or keep the ID with upgrade id
last venture
mostly because people don't really make unique plugins
eternal lake
I always used fun or lua for that
last venture
don't want to touch lua yet
eternal lake
you might have to use fun
last venture
🤔
eternal lake
Let's say you want building A with an upgrade A1 be required to build building B.
First you have to define a fun definition with "upgrade" condition in building A to check for upgrade A1.
last venture
never played around with the "fun" thing
eternal lake
it is pretty easy
I never touched variables though, so it might be difficult
fun is some basic if a then b or do c everyday
last venture
so its a lua thing/
eternal lake
I don't know how should building B know if A1 is done
eternal lake
yw
there is no action to block building placement so it might be difficult
I mean, I could reference dsa raw code xd
last venture
but ja could activate defcon

Ditto

is there a limit to the number of files in plug-ins? because I’m posting the Copacabana Pack several times, and the last selected files look like they’re not in the plug-in
hollow flax
Yes, there is have frames limit. 8192x4096px.
You can check in console and type "pt"
coarse light
No, it isn't that
hollow flax
I don't know. So far, I only know the texture is limited. and maybe another limitation is code, not files.

Huh
vale minnow
edit the L,R frames located in the highway file
vale minnow
it's one way yes and it's roadL, roadR
hot sluice
Don't see it in file
hollow flax
This is the difference between L and R (i called that LH and RH). The one way need 64 frames, and you can make them different between frames 1-16, 17-32, 33-48, 49-64.
hot sluice
Wow
And lol Q man it not my fault I didn't touch nothing
I see the files now
So I gotta add more frames to L/R right
how many frames
But my highway gonna look like real highway tho
Like picture I showed in #plugin-discussion
vale minnow
redhighway doesnt even look like a real highway
hot sluice
Ik I want to redo it
vale minnow
it looks more like a race road
hollow flax
64 frames if you make L and R in one plugin. 128 frames if you separate it. Or just 34 frames if you can use the x and y for set the coordinates.
vale minnow
to make it easier for you take my road pack highway

Checks whether the upgrade - given by id - is applied to the building at the current position.
last venture
so its local?
eternal lake
hold on
variables are a godsend
You can apply daily fun to upgradeable building to check if it was upgraded, and if it returns true it should change a custom variable to a number like 1.
Then, building which requires the upgrade, would read if the variable is at 1 and if true, it would allow construction.

if it returns true set variable Y to 1
for bldg B: check whether variable Y is 1, if returns true, allow placement```that's basically how would it work

I didn't know wether to go to support or plugin issues so I just went with plugin issues. I've been having some problems where the plugins won't download, it feels like a waste of diamonds. They always end up in the deleted catagory. Whenever I try to download them, they have the " Error: java.io.IOExeption: Couldn't save file". I was wondering if this was an issue on my end or not and if there's anything I can do. Please advise...

That's not true though

Try cleaning out some space on your phone if possible

I'd assume it's on the phones internal memory and not on the SD

Because I made a school building and I used Theotown plug in creator lite for its json files. Now after I moved the plug in to my city, I found out that the school itself doesnt have an influence of education in its range. How can I make an influence of education for my building?

This wasn't a bug nor a issue actually
So you can place any trees underneath the elevated right. But the trees you've chosen are taller, which is unnecessary to use in anyways, so that's why it shows like that. In theory can do the same thing by using the already tall in game trees, the red pine and the forrest tree and NOT the plugin trees specifically.
You should understand how the game works mate

uneven marlin
what i want right now, is to turn those 2 pictures into a road decoration, but i can't
and i have no idea why.
i have been looking for 3 hours at various tutorial, existing ones and i haven't been able to make those work
i just want to turn those 2 into a roof
i do know how to make a normal road decoration (such as lampost) but not into a roof.
hollow flax

uneven marlin

i have no idea where the problem could be
found the 1st error
also the flag train doesn't work @hollow flax
hollow flax
1 roof id = 2 animations
...
"animation fg":[{"id":"1st_roof"},{"id":"2nd_roof}],
"frame animation fg indices":[[],[],[],[],[],[0],[],[],[],[],[1],[],[],[],[],[]],
"required flag normal":false,
"required flag train":true,
...
look carefully at the comma
hollow flax
Remove the comma if that is last line

JSON file @earnest pendant
eternal lake
obviously you uploaded the wrong file type
A png is not a plugin
you have to upload a zipped json and png file
earnest pendant
How can i do that?
eternal lake
select a folder with your plugin and zip it
earnest pendant
Do you handle the game problems
earnest pendant
eternal lake
?
earnest pendant
This game has zone making problems
eternal lake
explain your issue deeper, and you should probably do as the Google Store answer told you to do

@hot sluice in what do you need help?

Road deco

It a street sign
hot sluice
I'm not good with amination
earnest pendant
I was searching for that
hot sluice
Well I don't know how to measure my plugin
earnest pendant
Ricky, those codes where says animation, refer to the frames that will be shown when you rotate the camera
hot sluice
Oh ok
earnest pendant
From TheoTown forum
you must draw 4 frames of your sign in all this positions
hot sluice
Hey let do this in DM
earnest pendant
https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=7211
all the documentation you need is here
hot sluice
So we don't take much space in here
earnest pendant
ight
for every question, you have the TheoTown forum. There's a search bar on it, so you can search: "Road deco" and look for help in a thread
hot sluice
Ok
molten sand
Road deco needs a prior knowledge about animations and roads
hot sluice
Ok

@heady steeple Did you download it only from the plugin store? I tested and downloaded it right here, can you call me in private?

ok

The plugin creator
fiery olive
You can get a redeemable code in the forums, as far as I'm aware
fiery olive
No. You make plugins for gems.
earnest pendant
No. You make plugins for the community and because of the love to this game,
and why?
You can't send gems in-game but with redeem codes obtained in the forum when you sell plugins
it doesn't work like that
almost everyone we set the plugin price at minimum, 30 gems, so people can download them by watching an add. For each x number of downloads we get a gem. I don't remember that numer
steel verge
download = price * download
earnest pendant
however, 10k gems aren't that much. I mean, if you create great plugins, you can achieve them
cedar stone
yeah, you can get that if you make some good popular plugins
grand spruce
You have to make plugins
eternal frigate
How do I Make plugins??
grand spruce
check the pins of #plugin-discussion
grand spruce
yeah
eternal frigate
My God
grand spruce
that's why they get diamonds
eternal frigate
I Dont No How to Properly Make Pixel things like that.
grand spruce
And the diamonds come from people downloading your plugin off of the store
You can always give it a try
and I'm sure that people will help you
exotic scarab
There is free software for help

what if they get it with ads
eternal frigate
Unless I Download A App Where I Can Imagine something screenshot it and Put it here.

Check my pin in#plugin-discussion

I saw it.
Soo, The Only other way is Buying them.
Wow.
Welp Ill Think of Somthing.
grand spruce
Nothing that is needed with diamonds is critical to game play
exotic scarab
I dont really care much about diamonds, you can buy the Steam version
eternal frigate
Wait can people give diamonds?
grand spruce
if they have a code sure
exotic scarab
Emm... I think.. yeah? Diamonds code I think
eternal frigate
Wdym?
exotic scarab
Ah
grand spruce
But they can't be transferred from account to account
exotic scarab
You can validate it in the forum (To see if it still available)
grand spruce
give it a try
exotic scarab
Yeah

It was a Dang Error
