Well, then android apps are also valid, I think
most apps dont work with the keybaord
Ah
and it will be slow
Ah true, touch controls
so web is the best option
Yeah
how do i start making one on a chromebook
a plugin
well
open piskel.com
and draw what you want
export it
then go to the plugin creator
and follow the steps from there
or go the fourm
also
piskelapp.com
is that the right site
How big should it be
commercial with one or two ms
how do we get our building to be upgraded (but when it is upgraded it brings up another helicopter) ??
WTFF
256 Plugins
you haven't seen how many plugins i have, 256 is nothing
i have more than 700
h a x
on your PC?
yep
i would never
ah
then u use gaming chair?
yes
Well, theres no shadows..
The perspective is wrong i think?
The color is too bright
The ground have no details (like tree and people)
Too bright?
And no shadow
People already there
Wait
So i can see it a bit better
Agreed
Owh hmm okay I'll improve it
Don't worry you will improve
You will make some good quality plugin at some point
Lol so many my plugins disapprove 🤣
Also the Guoco Tower Singapore ground is floating a bit (there's water)
(Tip: try looking at TT buildings for examples)
Okey
Oh Its not a water but the texture. Later I improve it
Ok
That is colour gray actually
Also this Bit is kinda annoy me
So then erase that?
This plugin is actually pretty good, i would give it 7/10
Much better than previous one
Thank you. But I need to improve more
Yea
What meaning of this
you colors aren't realistic
The color is too bright and not very realistic looking
There is no shadow or details whatsoever
Colors are screwed
How is there no details, theres a whole pattern on it
What can I do?
It disappeared, but I don't want to shade it, I just want to make Boeing 737 with no-painting.
It is not the same as T340/T430 or other planes in theo
Uh I think youre supposed to flip it first and then shade each of them separately
Shading doesnt come from colors, it comes from sunlight
OK
Also, where the winglets on that 73
What is code for default animation in 0 level road
Only activate in 1 , 2..... level
@earnest pendant can you make another spruce trees plugin? like for all terrains and not only to fit with a residential building
Pwarn 308903727928967169 Unfunny C# meme. Cease at once.
You cannot warn a moderator!

privileged won't work in template drafts
was gonna question that as well
What you wanna do here is set
"strict lua": true
as that could be a lua issue
Ah
You mistyped meta tag in the lua script
I already change the meta into this
Both json and lua
But still not working
The file you had sent to me via DM had mistyped getMeta()['lrtstanion'] or something like that
Thankyou very much
Train giving income, amazing
Also @flat sonnet I have a few questions
Is it giving money per carriage
And does lrt have modern stations
I mean european
ouch
what do you have to use to make a plugin
like make the template and building its self
No
Just per station rooft
I will try to make European station
Wait lrt in Europe is called tram?
How do you make png with iPhone?
Probabl
Lrt = light rail transport?
I saw it in the image
Light rail and trams are really similar that they tend to be called the same
The o ly difference is that light rail is segregated of roads and trams run on the road
o right
O
This is available in any kind road decoration?
I think this update is not good idea
Some of RDC have a speed, fun , lua, etc in there code
even different flags can coexist in a line
They will ruin some of plugin
I suggest to get specific road deco selector for that
I am just curious, does a plugin need to be reviewed by store mods after updating description?
makes sense
haha
what
I just want to ask can you download plugins in the version 1.9.62 from plugin store but it is saying network error
pc version
Update to the most recent version
Hi
I have it
I even used it in ian's anim tool
there isnt a day without error in creating plugins
fixed it btw
wrong load order?
yes
that i dont know
Is probably private
I need help with something
i have a plugin nearly finished
but i need to add lights
i have the lights archive ready
but i dont know how to put into the building
i cant find a good tutorial :s
Im trying to make a plugin but how do i get the roof??
i have a 1x1 roof ready but it says it doesn't fit or something
I don't get the problem?
well, take a look on the cheatsheet
"the 1/1"??
yes
you might have to use a new layer if you're pasting something in pixly
how do i get a new layer?
I don't know, I don't use that software anymore
oh
just take a look on it's functions
i did it
i made a 1x1 house
now i gotta publish ut
it
i made the roof manually
yeah
It's a bad idea to publish a single 1x1 house
especially if it's your first creation
im not trying to make another roof like that
Wdym?
that roof took me bloody ages
Thats a simple roof
it's just two inclined planes
More pratice and it will took you seconds
oh wait i just watched your plugin tutorial
Does it helps?
Glad i can help
do you have to put "?" at the end or just name?
Nah
Guess ill edit the comment to not cause a confusion
Nvm its in the video
Make more buildings
Make sure they works
And then compress them with the png and the json
And you have your pack!
I guess ill make more tutorial vids on the future
Tho, im quite busy this week
k
i cant download the zip
all i get is a white screen then "Downloas Type not found!"
even tho i have the image there and the other stuffs
can you help
(Busy)
oh oj
how do i get the zip from the plugin creator website???
and if it downloads
it doesnt work
can someone help me
Looks like your file manager struggles to open compressed files
Try extracting the .zip file first
@dawn marlin
Try again with a different .zip file. If it keeps saying it has issues, use another file manager
I was able to extract some other plugin left in my downloads section
Alright, so that .zip file has some issues then
this is the plugin im trying to make
i did
the walls on the right are darker
the grass is supposed to have sone subtle textures
dont know why its not visible here
but the texture isnt apart of the problem isnt it?
no
It's alright
ok
I would also rmeove the outlines
guys I think you should move to #plugin-discussion idk
Just replace it with the wall colour. Replace the roof outlines with the roof colour
Ohhh
Wow
Same
I dont really get whats the issue, it should show error
Oh
Isnt that old version
Pversion
Are you ios
Ahyes thats new
You have it
Ios last version is 1994
I dont know now you might need to post this image in #bugs-n-crashes
Oh also wait a min you have 1200 plugins? You might run out of plugin texture space
No I am not
Did you download them from plugin store or forum
I always recommend restarting your phone firstly
Plugin store automatically disables plugins soo
Yeah try close and off your phonr
If it doesnt work put the image in bugs
Put the image in #bugs-n-crashes
One of the devs will contact you as soon as possible
antmanbgsnoob#4298 was banned for the following reason: admitting to hacking and using cheats
hacks in theotown?
Yes
Check out full HD plugin
Not everyone knows it
but it's actually a secretly bundled hack right under the developer's noses
Come on devs, just enable the secret 3d mode already...
Lol
I can't find find the picture but what is the name of the Verizon building Plugin?
help, this is important?
i can put any name to that id?
just name it differently
i fixed it, thanks
I don't recommend you naminf something like that
is it possible to make building not to be selected by an eyedropper?
pickable: false
thanks
im gonna try again to make my plugin work
guys what file manager should i use
right
that website needs to get fixed
i use RAR so i can unpack zips
Yes
In what version were sound scripts added?
I'd just dig through the changelog in the forums
Doesnt lua api says the version it got added?
Can someone tell me how to make a plug-in on iPhone?
Check the pins in #plugin-discussion .
Is there a plug in where I can block specific buildings from being rebuilt?
missing rotor frames, I guess
How do you do a plugin?
(I'm a n00b)
same
@steel verge rotor is nothing but an animation, how did you set up your blimp without rotor?
empty array of null frames
what was your custom rotor name because I dont want to use this one
I dont get it how game determinates if it is a rotor or not
ya ya it worked
@steel verge then now, how does building height work? it is not based on pixel height I see
building height?
to make the heli spawn higher points of building
look
it says zero is ground level but what are others? not too much informations
I'm not aware of different heli spawn heights
Question for the plugin makers here:
All of you uses sacked floors into your buildings?
Uh I'm pretty sure that is private, thank god i downloaded it
Is made by AntarcticTreay or TheSpaceFrontier, i forgot
And the Oxagon Tower is made by AntarcticTreay
People, PLEASE, stop asking names of plugins here
I may be wrong but I don't think that's what this channel is for
@ripe tendon
Yea is privated or something
Same thing happened to the Oxagon Tower
why do they have to private these aswme plugins
Idk
is there a way to specify amount of frames per rotation? I can't remember the tag if it exists
I want to use 2 frames for rotations, even though I have multiple by 4
Do anyone know the plugins of the road and tunnel and send me the link ?
the tunnel isn't a plugin, the road's name is "Mexican roads"
I have a question about forum plugins, how do I add them, I’m using a PC
Here
I’m on pc
yes, this is on pc
It crashes when I do it
What is the error
are you on windows?
if you're on windows, here's what to do:
- go to the forums and install any plugin you want there (the .zip or .plugin files)
- locate your installed plugin
- if you installed a .zip, make sure to unzip it
- move the plugin to c:/users/[your user]/theotown/plugins
- and you have installed the plugin!
Yeah I think so, but I cant find the Theo town file anywhere
So you dont need a plugin for tunnel?
yes
Yes for a plugin need or no?
no need for plugin
you're welcome
I want to add flashing beacon lights in my building at night, how i can script that?
something like this
You don't need lua for that
Night animations are still animations
So you can just make a flashing beacon animation and use that
in gif format right?
Besides I'm pretty sure theres an animation like that in game already
Not sure what the id is
It's probably in content_power.json
the Landmark from Vietnam plugin have one
i dont have that file in my plugin
I meant
Using the animation Id of the animation that's already in the game
That file is available on the forums
You have the link?
[ { "frames":[ { "bmp":"lightnight.png", "x":1, "y":1 } ], "id":"$welcome$center$_01", "light":true, "lightswitching":true, "type":"animation" }, { "animation":{ "id":"$welcome$center$_01", "x":1, "y":1 }, "author":"rickykingz", "frame":{ "bmp":"lightnight.png" }, "frames":[ { "bmp":"image.png" } ], "height":2, "id":"$welcome$center$_00", "level":2, "type":"commercial", "width":2, "worker":20 } ]

Need help pls
What did I do wrong pls
what are you trying to achieve with frame and frames attribute???
choose one of them
there is no such thing as "frame"
Oh
it hurts to look at but oh well
worker also works
the issue is you're casting animations array to an object
I'm following what I saw here
[
{
"id":"$(your id here)",
"type":"animation",
"light": true,
"light switching": true,
"frames": [{"bmp":"(your night anim png here).png","handle y": 8}]
},
{
"id":"$(building id)",
"author":"(you)",
"category":"(category)",
"build time": 5,
"needs road": true,
"draw ground": true,
"type":"(com? Res? Ind?)",
"level": 2,
"animation":[{"id":"(your night anim id here)","x":0,"y":-63}],
"frames": [{"bmp":"(building png).png"}],
"width": 8,
"height": 8
}
]
you are not lol
Ok
yeah, you forgot your square brackets
Ok
*decreasing
I'm not quite sure how could we explain how to decrease/increase values
I can't make it any clearer
you have to move it a few pixels up and right
x should be -5 or +5
Oh ok
and y should be 6 or -6
negative x means offscreen animations
oh
y is usually negative, positive would be below the building
then make it handle x: 5 and handle y: -6
not handle, just x, y
ops
Need help bc my plugin still not lighting up
[{"frames":[{"bmp":"lightnight.png"}],"id":"$welcome$center$_01","light":true,"lightswitching":true,"type":"animation"},{"animation":[{"id":"$welcome$center$_01","x":5,"y":-6}],"author":"rickykingz","frames":[{"bmp":"image.png"}],"height":2,"id":"$welcome$center$_00","level":2,"people":20,"type":"commercial","width":2}]
how does it look like ingame?
and how does your night frame look like?
crop the top of the image
then set y to maybe -8/-10
you're welcome
what do you mean?
The y n x
it's basic coordinate stuff that's taught at school
the point you are getting coordinates of is the top left pixel
of the animation
Ok
.
can someone give a more in-depth explanation on how to make fences?
hm
you need frame like this (just an example)
and code iike this
(build time and removable tags are unneeded I guess, idk why are they there)
not really in depth but right
you need two frames
thanks
Is there an easy way to print the Lua docs or save them to a PDF?
I can't find any buttons for it on the page
There is a html2pdf js module
Doing some console stuff should allow you to download it
You could just download the html files
The CSS is probably not too important
how to make a plugin?
Read pins on #plugin-discussion
why does a menu throw the text field off screen?
I know this whole layout is crappy
but I tried to make a menu that opens somewhere below the button when it's pressed
but why the text field tho
Hi guys, please help me) I have endless loading in plugins, I play on a pc
maybe I'm stupid, but I'm fine with my smartphone
In plugins?
yes
I have already been helped, I downloaded java 64 for windows 10 and the plugins became available!
Anyone know where I can find this plug-in, I can’t pull up the download for some reason, and sorry if it’s obvious to where to find it, just new to forum plugins
Just download it in the ingame plugin store
Also you cant download that plugin through the website
Except plugin file
E
How many pixels is a tile?
32
lmao
shhhhhhhh
Yes, plugin files can be decrypted, only by developers, though.
okay,
I posted in #plugin-discussion
how much for secret plugin formula?
in any image editing program
Like which?
I found 1
It's kinda hard
But can I send a picture of 1×1 resediant square
That will help in telling boundary
#plugin-discussion check pins
(reposting from #plugin-discussion because the question fits more here)
I have a question about approvals
If I put plugin icon and text in front, and some buildings made with it on back like this
even though the text will describe the plugin, may I get disapproved for that pic?
does it describe the plugin well enough or I need the direct image of the contents?
why not submit and find out
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I am just asking it just in case
then dont worry about it?
I can save time now and find out before publishing
@terse void how can I make an icon in build tab, which opens dialog on press?
nvm
sorry erksmit
for ping
turns out there is tool type, I had no idea
That is what I am looking for too
I found already
Problem with tool type is that it enter the tool mode
ah
well I made it I guess
But I guess you can do it
oh wait
doesn't really work imma try fix
so I can't disable the tool mode?
or remove the build button at least
The tool doesn't have a build button
But it'll draw the black grid
And the user will stay in the tool until they exit it
that's when you click on i button
well I'll leave it like this
for now it's the best way to display some text
wait
it displayed the dialog somehow
oh
btw
Multiline you mean?
yes
It was on the GUI compendium page
wait
Just put the multiline textbod into the dialog
I can't put long text in "text" parameter?
(my cringe attempt to write some tutorial for categories)
Not to worry
worked when I replaced all text with "amogus"
maybe it's not text related?
I am dumb
but 6 is the line where the second line of text goes
well, I can not use dialog
all I need is to get a place for displaying text
I may choose tool because it's not a building and does nothing, yet has an icon in the toolbar
yeah I'll just use description for text now
bruh I can't make a tool without script?
The pic is pretty accurate for the plugin so I say no if they have a bit of intelligence
you have to figure out their id's
or grab their textures from world texture
the id's you need are in here
¯_(ツ)_/¯
idk chief
if you cant find it
you can always just do "frames":[{"x":208,"y":579,"w":26,"h":26}],
to take it from world texture directly
the game doesn't crash or report anything
how do I even find out what's worng
wrong*
@terse void sorry for ping again but this is kinda important, do you know why would this happen?
20 minutes
nobody can wait that long
I am still having no data value
for upgrades
I added text and title to it
I hope it is about this mess
night anim codes
rotation aware night anim implantation to the building
and it is not showing up
I can't figure out what the problem is
you forgot [ ]
well that's expected
you don't even have animations tag
it's not used anywhere
btw I recommend you removing empty spaces in night frame
"animation":[{"id":"$pcw_b144faf1a455", "y":y coordinate}]
I feel like I forgot something
oh
it's "animation"
and don't forget a comma if there is code after it
@carmine furnace
ok, thank you!
How the hell am i suposed to install plugins now?!
there is a README.txt and migration.txt
does it tell something to you 
there is an ingame file browser now
And how do i get to it?!
region screen and menu
Now i have to load the game... more 30 minutes just installing a plugin.
ok
it migrated and now you need to put it through file manager
there was a pfaq page about it
TheoTown files are located under such directories:
▪︎ Windows: C:\Users\(insert username)\TheoTown
▪︎ Linux: /home/$USER/TheoTown
▪︎ MacOS: /user/TheoTown
▪︎ Android: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files
Reinstalling the game for Android will delete all files, unless you decide to keep the files when prompted by uninstaller.
Alternatively, you can access the files through in-built TheoTown file manager, accessible through the in-game menu.
You can find your plugin, music, region and city files there as well as logs for debugging purposes.
Theres a video about how install plugin in android 10 or 11
yup it's not that hard
I'm using ZArchiver, a pretty ez to use and simple file manager app for Android
So RAR is pretty much useless now?
Now i cant edit the god damn json
Why
Oh, i solved it. All fine now (i think)
is here some errors?
Night mode doesnt work
i think a problem is x or y
how do I find out which positions x and y to write
Put random numbers till it's good
@carmine furnace try negative y
yeah i know its negative often
It could be underground
you could make random night lights but it's very advanced
now only like that
are there Korean plugins in the forum? if so, give me the link
You can try search them yourself
yea
I put in the search engine korea but it does not appear more than comments
try in plugin store
Help!
What is the problem here?
I checked all syntax on 6 files including that json file. It run smoothly on the app, but when I submitted the final plugin on pstore it says there's a syntax error.
??? I'm tired to check it multiple times.
Russia
Thanks 😊
May I know how to add diagonal light for cars
Hey @flat sonnet bro ,I really don't know how to do that but just wanted to ask you "are you really making diagonal moving cars or just the frames for deco?"
Unsupported
Oh wait try pos animation with 8 pairs of x & y
what's the best way to save several variables of 1 plugin (some are settings set by user and some are progress) to storage?
or whatever it's called
I mean for them to be saved with game
I think using game table
how
how do I allow "constant height" for my road plugin and add tunnel like this?
nevermind I got it
it doesnt work if I dont put it inside the "!!" file
TIP add "!" to plugin file
@steel verge can I do this?
a flag
Noooo
I NEED HARBOUR PLUGIN FOR MY CITY
if I publish the same plugin (with same ids) on both forum and store
is it going to crash?
how do I prevent it?
are you adding some keyword like "once"?
soo it gonna work anyway but plugin store version will be disabled automatically
ah okay
I want to upload the exact plugin to store and forum but I wasn't sure if they get disabled automatically
and I'm not sure if I need to modify it somehow
I got an problem about this today
so I had the nature pack from kingtut both on plugin store and forum but forum version was overdated and had no .manifest. Soo plugin store one (updated one) disabled automatically
@hallow prism watch the caps
Nice bug @upbeat quail :)
Bug?
Oh i know why. I will fix it in the next update
That bug also happen in some of my other plugins
Guys I bought an airport plugin with 70 diamonds and reset it, but now it's gone??
It still took 70 out of my 120 dias tho
Go to the plugin store then click the download button
Same problem as me
Can't find it
Which airport plugin?
Made by rj-something something, costed 70 dias, called modern airport I think
Maybe it hasn't downloaded it
Can you pls send a screenshot
I need help to script this building and his rotable variant with his night lights, i dont know exactly how to do
What's the problem
animation:[ {id:"l1id", x = x, y = y, frame : 0},
{id:"l2id", x = x, y = y, frame : 1}]
Thanks, i will try
mmm i dont understand how that code works :s
The frame tag use on which frame does your night anim will be visible frame:0 for the first 1 for the second and so on
The string inside the double quote is just a placeholder, put your night anim id there
@upbeat quail helped me with this method:
but if dont result at all i will try with your one
can I add speed to ships?
No
):
Don't worry, you won't need to pay for this because you've already paid for it, now it's a free download
Protip: If a button in theotown is shiny and yellow, it most likely means that you'll have to pay gems to do a certain action
Either way, if you'll try to buy something with gems, the game should give you an extra message to confirm if you are sure
@worthy salmon #plugin-discussion da pinlere look
thank you, is there an error?
No
Aaah... ok...
Ok
Damn
Is my diagonal fence actually error?
3 comment said it
And nobody sent an error message
What diagonal fence?
Plugin
Can you show it?
I hope Next Update of TheoTown, added more new Buildings :)
Sure
Plugins already do that every day
I have Uber mode in every of my important cities
Owh
I mean, can you show the plugin?
It works finely
Based on what the second one says. They wan them to be straight and not diagonal
Without Uber mode, my cities are Destroyed by fires..
But if it is the plugin i think it is, then there's a straight and diagonal version of all fences.
My burden before buying uber mode was: VIRUS OUTBREAK
@hallow prism I will ask you one last time. This is for plugin support if you need help with plugins. move to #city-showcase.
Ok
hm...
What I do for My Rocket Project At My cities...
Well?
Hm is that a fence?
See above
K
The fence works finely
Hmmmm
They say they want a straight version of it
It exist
Alr, lets stop the caps
Finturez Gaming#4772 has been warned: continued off topic, continued caps
And #town-square
The mods are not gonna ask you again
That still at theoTown
This channel is for plugin topics...
You can read pins at #plugin-discussion
Ok
Not again...
Sealand plugin I made had 15 votes 92 rate and now it is 15 votes but 86 rate
wtf is happening
Atleast say why!
It was an act of war from me
Our Territory is our, yusus 😡
No more wars in collaby island
Sealand will be superior in collaby
I'll build military bases in south SV
Sealand just settled on baila collaby region, I will get a navy once I got my downtown and ports
I'll build military bases first
u infinite mone?
Sandbox
Oh
Can someone help me making military/airport zone walls on edges? Can't find them in world texture
nvm, I guess that's them
how do filter frames for trees work?
Is there any Plugin for Diagonal Runways?
I didn't found it in the Plugin Store
it might be on the forums
should be on both
There is
Is probably in the plugin store or in forum
@wicked frigate for the love of god. Will you start reading what other people say!
I just want to help man :(
And I get that! and thank you, but you do that so much
Здравствуйте, может кто-нибудь порекомендовать мне моды?
Speak english please
Thank you
Does anyone know how to remove the "ice" from world generation after uninstalling it on mobile
Where did u download that plugin
If forum
Shouldn't it disappear if you don't have the plugin?
Yes
Are you sure you uninstalled it correctly?
If he downloaded it from forum he can just remove ice.json
I didn't get get it from the forum
Okay then, there is no other way removing kingtuts nature plugin
So it's like that forever?
Well sh*t
And also makes the game run slower than my mom's laptop trying to load a webpage
Oh
I can not find SHW plugin in the forum
What are your specs? If it can't handle the ice, I wonder if it can even handle large cities
He is correct. If you want to remove the ice, you have to uninstall the plug-in in the store. If you download it from the forums, you can disable the ice from spawning by removing it's json file
Its hard for me to test performance on weaker devices because I don't have any
I did try filling a water only map with ice and comparing it to a blank water only map
But there was only a very small difference in performance
I only got 2gb ram 😔
but imo it is not really problem for me, cuz I downloaded from forum
If I Download 3 plug-ins I'll get a blackscreen
put a road next to it
Ah no i ment that it is flying xD
Lol yea ik
...
"draw ground":true,
"frames":[{"bmp":"image.png", "handle y":-5}],
...
cropping the image would be an easier solution
Not finished yes just a test
I did
can I see it?
And better in terms of texture space
Its perfecly cropt
And another question: Is there a rule for ids? So what the id can contain?
it can be anything as long as it doesn't conflict with other ones
it probably doesn't allow special characters like ą ó etc
Ok
Hmm
How much space ocupe the lot?
What would happend if i put night probability on animation but sets light switching to false?
Im thinking about probability visible animation on some instance
Thats already a thing
So apparently I was away from the plugin store in a little while and I checked my upload I got this message:
"Disapproved (reason: I'd adjust the modulable pieces to have side textures regardless.)"
Guys I somehow don't get the context of this. What should I do? I am still recovering from flu and my brain still doesn't work that much hahaha
Whats wrong with this id?
remove the \s
These are all the pieces @hexed coral
not sure but maybe they wan't for you to detail sides too
Yah that's what I think too, I just got confused by the word "adjust"
Looks like that's what I should do then..
tbh that's a weird reason
True, I can't wrap my head around the idea of it. But I think I should do it so that it could get posted
imo buildings looks nice
Why they need window at other side too, there is a lot of building like that in my city
idk matbe slap a few windows and more shadow
some stripes
