Every sleepless night i get drunker and drunker and start to forget whats the use of these

[hollow badger]

anyone know how i click on these

do i have to sign up or smth

[eternal lake]

I'm not exactly sure what do you want to achieve?

[cedar stone]

You have to download them in the in-game's plugin store

If you want to dowload forum plugins, you have to go here:

https://forum.theotown.com/viewforum.php?f=43

[hollow badger]

so i could use the plugin store on the pc version?

[cedar stone]

You have to use the plugin store

Remeber that in pc, the plugin dowloads are totally free

[cedar stone]

[hollow badger]

Thanks

gonna buy on steam soon

[tidal shale]

a question, how do you get private plugins?

[wise scaffold]

not possible

if it's a private plugin then it is not possible to get it (unless you hack universe and get file)

Also, next time #old-support would be more appropriate channel for such question, just so you know.

[tidal shale]

That bad

[wise scaffold]

Yup

[tidal shale]

Sorry, I didn't know where to post the question.

[wise scaffold]

I don't know why it wasn't obvious that you can not get private plugins without the file, but yeah

[tidal shale]

well, mainly because I had seen that several people had a private plugin in common.

[wise scaffold]

Yeah, and there are reasons on why they're unpublished.

[grand spruce]

if the author chooses to give them to people we can't do anything about that

But we also don't want people just bugging the creator

[wise scaffold]

^

[tidal shale]

I get it

[wise scaffold]

Anyways let's stop the coversation right here, this isn't the right channel to do that.

How do i add in night animations to ingame RCI

[eternal lake]

you're welcome

it works pretty much like "override" but it only applies the changes you have defined

[gilded spruce]

[grand spruce]

https://forum.theotown.com/app.php/contactadmin

[grim zodiac]

How do it really add night animations on road deco!?

[eternal lake]

pretty much as any other animation, you just have to use frame animation indices and frame animation fg indices

[grim zodiac]

But when I did it didn't work or I may be wrong the whole time

[eternal lake]

we can't help without code

[grim zodiac]

This

[eternal lake]

god the indenting

you have several trailing commas

remove them and see if it works

also consider using software that detects basic errors like those

or paste it all into jsonlint

[grim zodiac]

Is that an application?

I use this. Simple yet good

[eternal lake]

I don't know any android apps that check validity

[grim zodiac]

I don't want to download any json app but all I do is remove " , " ?

[eternal lake]

as I said

remove the trailing commas

I haven't taken a closer look but only noticed the red squiggly lines, so see if it fixes it

[grim zodiac]

In this part right or all of the code

[eternal lake]

you don't want to have any trailing commas in your json

[grim zodiac]

Crap i need to learn a lot of things

So with my basic brain dead brain of mine. You want me to compress all of them?

[eternal lake]

what?

remove all the commas that do not have anything after them

[grim zodiac]

Oh i get now. Wait if i do it this would work

[grim zodiac]

Okay different topic. I remember i was talking to someone and he/she mentions about "water tag".
Is it "Water":true, to make a visible water

[eternal lake]

I'm not sure about the details but there is a forum tutorial on custom water

[grim zodiac]

I want to make something similar to Stream plugin but without the void.

[terse void]

use draw water true

just like draw ground

[eternal lake]

yeah

also water type wouldn't work for thin bodies like streams

since border frames are defined for grounds and not water

[grim zodiac]

Does draw water works on different type like deco and/or road type?

[flat sonnet]

"flag User1":true,

[flat sonnet]

Its work if its flag train or normal

But not costum flag

[eternal lake]

can I get the documentation of custom flags

found it, you should try this

[flat sonnet]

Can I change this into other words

[eternal lake]

change what?

Array > rename > animation > go inside > create object > config. Inside(value)

Multiple animations would be

Array
  - object
  - object
  - object

I really prefer that app to become free from syntax errors

[royal elk]

I encounter one lately I can't even open my own json when I open it and save it tho

But anyway thanks

You can't from external file management e.g TheoTown file manager

[earnest pendant]

You need to be a privileged plugin creator to produce monthly income

[grim zodiac]

It takes some time and probably a good amount of plugins to be privileged plugin creator

[molten sand]

To be a privileged plugin creator, you must have created a good quality of plugins (Quality over quantity).

[earnest pendant]

And you get magical codes

That exploits

Like my 1x1 building producing 69,000,000kw of electricity

Or produces 69,000,000,000 monthly incum

[molten sand]

Also, you must be a trusted plugin creator, abiding all rules of plugin creations, and will never ruin the game using any loopholes you discover

[earnest pendant]

Upon using a plugin privilege code you must encrypt it

Or else it'll spread like wildfire

Someone please ;_;

[rocky geode]

Yeah

[lime rapids]

How?

[eternal lake]

elaborate more

'2 different night frames' as in they wouldn't be drawn each night?

[wise apex]

I think he means like two separate variants of one single building having their own night frames

[earnest pendant]

Hello i need help ;-;

[earnest pendant]

Alright show me whats wrong

Oks

Here

I don't know what to do to make it whole visible

[shut glacier]

that statue doesnt look very isometric

[earnest pendant]

Its from command and conquer Red alert 2

Theyre from isometric rts

[pseudo nymph]

Looks like cropped images from RA2, just make sure you fit them to the template width

[earnest pendant]

I see

Thanks

Next time

Don't steal assets

Thats lazy and wrong

But i'm making ra2 themed mod

So like

[earnest pendant]

Well draw everything yourself

To match theotown

[pseudo nymph]

You can make it a personal plugin but I am sure you can't publish it to plugin store

[earnest pendant]

That's what i do

So its a personal plugin

Well go do whatever you want

[rocky geode]

This is what i thought cuz i think he can only create single night frame that includes all the lights

[lime rapids]

Yes

[grim zodiac]

You know, on how much i like RA2 and even I made some from the mod Mental Omega, this husts me. The angle of RA2 is different and this is basically copy paste in which I despise

[terse void]

yeah it doesnt match at all

[sterile sail]

so... umm

No is depending on how powerful your device is

I think

[hybrid depot]

I just have 330+ plugins in the store and 280+ plugins in the file but the game is starting to lag

[lime rapids]

So im guessing this isnt possible and i will do the other way

[pseudo nymph]

You should elaborate more about what did you mean by two frames

[wise apex]

scroll up

[eternal lake]

depends what exactly do you want to achieve

you could just add two exactly same frames and append night animations to each of them

[golden raptor]

What app do I use to make a plug in?

Overlapping hedges. I haven't l saw that but what I saw is some buildings had painted roof.

There's literally one and ONLY ONE single rail on the in game store

[unkempt wolf]

What about that one wooden rail way thing I saw in #plugin-showcase

I can't find it unfortunately

[grim zodiac]

It's from AoS. Tho unfortunately you cannot access it yet cus it's in Beta.

I dont know about uploading plugins in the plugin store
But if your plugin works perfectly on phone, it should work fine in PC

*If its a normal JSON plugin

If its a Lua plugin, some plugins had problems dealing with the fact that TT for PC doesnt have diamonds and probably other things

[pseudo nymph]

[terse void]

nvm they dont

[pseudo nymph]

this small plugin stole my 2 days, I cant imagine others

[molten sand]

are those for diagonal car animations?

[rocky geode]

Animation on diagonal frames😳

[pseudo nymph]

its been 12 hours

woke up at 8am and it is 3pm now still doing thisd boring stuff

and it is just json

[molten sand]

I guess, the pos:[...] still doesn't support diagonal car animations

[devout escarp]

so i have now made a json for a building with a size of 4 width. But since I want to save space, I want to make the json for something else in the same json. I've seen that you have to put any commas and so on in between. can someone please show me an example?

I want here to make a "json" for smth other

[molten sand]

You mean, you wanna add new object?

[
 { //first object},
 { //second object }
]

[pseudo nymph]

@eternal lake wait

accept my latest plugin too now! 😠

[devout escarp]

Smth like that?? Ig

[molten sand]

[
 {
  //I will create building here
 },
 {
  //I will create another building here
 }
]

[devout escarp]

Yea

Senks

the "//" have to be there too?

[molten sand]

Nope

[devout escarp]

Ok good

Ptag forum 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://bit.ly/3cGrHIm). There you can find a lot of unique plugins, which are not available on Plugin Store.

[red wharf]

@eternal lake what is ptag

[eternal lake]

not very helpful, you just download them and put them in the plugins folder

[eternal lake]

man it's a command

Ptag files

[tulip rock]

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.

[eternal lake]

yog would put them here

[red wharf]

So to do that command i should use command controls?

[eternal lake]

'ptag' is a discord command, for the discord bot

do what I told you and read the bot answers

[red wharf]

Oh, thanks

[eternal lake]

you're welcome

[devout escarp]

Uhmm okayyyy

Senks

[devout escarp]

Usually kn my app that I use, if something is colored differently, it says that it is wrong

But we will see

It worked

[eternal lake]

just use jsonlint

[unkempt wolf]

Anybody got the zip file for this ;-;

[earnest pendant]

Dude, you can just buy it on the ingame store

[unkempt wolf]

@hollow flax Something is wrong with your plug-in. I'm not sure what the issue is, I just loaded up the game today and found it like this

[hollow flax]

only icons not appears, but it's still working.

[pseudo nymph]

I haven't updated, it works

[grand spruce]

Both of you knock it off

[hardy orchid]

So i want to Made my first plugin,but there is many problems here
First im using pixly to create it,but it save as 2 files, .png and .anim
(Or this is happened because Im using layer?)

I know this things still bad because i just started to create it

[grim zodiac]

that's normal

the .anim is the pixly's file

and the other is just a copy of your whole art thing

obviously do not delete any of them

[hardy orchid]

So if the plugin is done how i export it to .png?

[grim zodiac]

there should be an option to export to a spreadsheet. once u done it the .anim is now useless

[hardy orchid]

Ooh thanks

Wait

I have question that not too related to plugin,but without this you cant upload a plugin

So i log in on theotown using FB

[grim zodiac]

i cannot help u as much because i uninstall pixly but I can help from what I still remember

[grim zodiac]

uhh what do you mean entirely

[hardy orchid]

And did delete the third party permission/something like that
Did my theotown account/diamonds Will dissapear?

I have 3000+ diamonds on that account

[grim zodiac]

oh you need the forum account

[hardy orchid]

(thx to gift code)

[hardy orchid]

Not forum,i did it on FB account

I don't try it because FB doesn't allow app login anymore

[grim zodiac]

to upload plugin u need forum account

[hardy orchid]

But i hear you can still use it with Facebook app,not lite

[grim zodiac]

show me your account in the forum

[hardy orchid]

Ik,but my diamonds are on that account

[grim zodiac]

ok wait

[hardy orchid]

If you see my messages on #old-support ,I'm very frustrated why my forum password is "wrong" many times
Even i always write it on paper and do recheck after making new pass

[grim zodiac]

So you're sayin u have 3k diamond ON fb account, right?

[hardy orchid]

I have one main and one backup forum acc,i don't use the backup anyways
Just for backup if "something happened"

[hardy orchid]

*backup it using FB acc

The diamonds Will back if log into my acc

[grim zodiac]

I haven't tried using fb as backup

[grim zodiac]

did u delete it

???

hello? @hardy orchid

[hardy orchid]

(Facebook Will automatically delete it if you are innactive/expired)

[grim zodiac]

english please

[hardy orchid]

Deleted :
18 aug 2021
It was on app & web FB setting

[grim zodiac]

ok how long u have been innactive?

[devout escarp]

@hardy orchid

[hardy orchid]

I started using FB on theotown 2018,innactive 2019 and reactivate it again on 2020 then innactive in 2021

[grim zodiac]

in months, how long u think

[hardy orchid]

8-10 months

[grim zodiac]

I'm not a developer in any way nor a programmer of some sort

[hardy orchid]

Someday i accidentally disable the "app and web"
So all of my games are on innactive sides

Maybe i Will try to log in soon

Hope the diamonds still here

Because i forget the Redeem code

[grim zodiac]

this is probably a lost cause

[hardy orchid]

But

[grim zodiac]

im sorry to tell u that

[hardy orchid]

In other game,my data still safe even it was innactive before

Like simcity

Data from 2017 lol

My city still here even i got a little "rollback"

[grim zodiac]

im not sure if erk might help u but try contacting some higher up here

cus idk how to help u

[hardy orchid]

Its called meta now,no idea if they change the policy
I Will try to login maybe Tommorow

Thanks for info btw

[grim zodiac]

i know plugins and that's it

[hardy orchid]

Wait

If i want to resume to make the texture what file i should open?

The .png or .anim?

[grim zodiac]

just go to pixly directly

u cannot open it on the outside

there should be a option to 'open'

[hardy orchid]

Ik

Which file?

There is .png and .anim

[grim zodiac]

.anim

like I said it is the pixly file

[hardy orchid]

I need help again
So if i use a layer for ex : door Gradation using Opaque setting,did i need to add layer 1 with 100% Opaque and then layer 2 with custom Opaque

Sorry if my language is confusing

[grim zodiac]

i got windows shutdowned there lemme rephrase that

u mean the first layer?

u don't need gradient tweaking at when u make a new layer. because once u draw something u cannot see it. leave it default

[hardy orchid]

Oh I think If I set the gradiation to a certain level then the first layer will be visible

I need tips for shadow effect

[devout escarp]

Btw the doors and windows are a bit oversized

[hardy orchid]

Wait,it was based on this building

[devout escarp]

1 person 3= pixel

[hardy orchid]

The window is too oversized

[devout escarp]

Then u have to make the whole building smoler for ze typical Theotown size

[molten sand]

You can also toggle the opacity bar in Pixly to create shadows

[grave sonnet]

door and windows are way too big

or not?

[devout escarp]

They are

[grave sonnet]

Yeah.

[molten sand]

seems huge to me

[grave sonnet]

7ft man=3px

[devout escarp]

1ft baby= 0,25 Pixel

[hardy orchid]

Damn,maybe i Will do it Tommorow
Little bit reduce the window and door

[devout escarp]

👍

[hardy orchid]

I cant do half pixel,how?

[grave sonnet]

Not pobol

Psoible

[devout escarp]

was a joke

🕺

[hardy orchid]

Wait
That building is 3x3

My texture is based on 3x3

[molten sand]

1 px is approximately 0.0002645833 meters

at least in real scale

[devout escarp]

Still to big

Too

[hardy orchid]

@Lakan Haraya4291 btw i have see a dog on your pfp somewhere ....

[hardy orchid]

Maybe i Will adjust it Tommorow

Btw what about the shadow?

[wise scaffold]

3 px = 2m

[devout escarp]

Example

[hardy orchid]

It means i need to Split the window

So it means the window Will be 1,5

Just the window,no idea about frame

[molten sand]

where

[hardy orchid]

Somewhere on the internet

I forget about it

[molten sand]

It's me

[hardy orchid]

Not exact same dog,just really Similar

[hardy orchid]

Do you use same app? The pixel looks smaller than mine

The pixel is too big for me

[devout escarp]

Pixly

[devout escarp]

Maybe ur brush is too big?

Lmao that sounds

Nvm

[hardy orchid]

(i use line)

But why the 1 pixel looks bigger than yours

Is that about Cell high?

[devout escarp]

Bro

Just make it look big

Always keep in mind

One person

= 3px

So one window = 3/2px

Door= 3px

Right = Person

Middle = door

Left= window

Ofc u can make the window also bit bigger

But not extremly

@hardy orchid

[hardy orchid]

Nvm it was same

[devout escarp]

And ofc u make a door bigger like here but not extremly

[hardy orchid]

Wait

[devout escarp]

In pixly always it seems a bit bigger Bcs its in front of your face. Ingame everything looks smoler if u zoom out

[hardy orchid]

How about this?

[devout escarp]

Better but make it bit lower

[hardy orchid]

Wait

Lower in what?

Size?

[devout escarp]

The upper line

[hardy orchid]

Ok

[rocky geode]

Skycraper intensify

[devout escarp]

So it has a height of 3@hardy orchid

[devout escarp]

^

[devout escarp]

This is what i mean

[rocky geode]

I like the roof ramp, let's crash our boards bois

[devout escarp]

Sneks🕺

[hardy orchid]

Like this?

Its 3 pixel

[devout escarp]

Better👍

[hardy orchid]

is there something wrong?

Shadow?

Its 12pm here,i Will work on this again Tommorow

Also the door is now fixed

But it just looks weird with windows

Its in the game

But where night anim😢

[eternal lake]

you don't put bools in apostrophes

also consider using better ids and ingame night frames

also it looks more 1x1 than 2x2 for me but I didn't check it

[devout escarp]

Its 2x2

[devout escarp]

Ok i will try it again. i only use simple ids for "tests"

[hardy orchid]

Hey marcato,do you know how to make the eraser smaller?

The eraser are too big

[grim zodiac]

you can resize it by having 3 fingers to tap 'n hold then swipe one to make big or small

[hybrid depot]

Forum only dude

did you miss the news !?

[grim zodiac]

the buildings btw look edited, not in photoshop way but in an asset type of way.

[hybrid depot]

No

[unkempt wolf]

[grim zodiac]

[eternal lake]

put all of your png and json files together

[valid crypt]

Like this?

[grim zodiac]

it's just 1 image and 1 json

[valid crypt]

Yea

It needs to be 2+ images and 2+ json?

Alright, i already fixed it by myself but anyways

[devout escarp]

I dont understand it lmao

No errors, nothing. I have changed and adjusted "y" several times. it just doesn't work.

ignore the ids and the ugly building. is just a test.

[fiery olive]

try messing around with handle y

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&p=152003#p152003

[devout escarp]

😫

[eternal lake]

I would recommend you to not use handle y

[fiery olive]

o

[eternal lake]

make sure all of your files are cropped

I never used handle for animation

[devout escarp]

Should i remove the handles x and y?

[devout escarp]

Yep they are the same

[eternal lake]

your animation file is immense and wastes a lot of plugin space

[eternal lake]

and that's exactly where the problem is

they are NOT meant to be the same

crop them as much as possible

[devout escarp]

Oh-

Sneks

👍

[eternal lake]

what

you're welcome

the pivot point of an animation is it's topleft corner pixel

[devout escarp]

?

[eternal lake]

soo your animation was very much below

yes, as I said

[devout escarp]

Ok thanks

[eternal lake]

you aren't even using handles anywhere

[devout escarp]

idk i just did what fitamint did in his tutorial 💀

Thanks anyway

[devout escarp]

Hello. I've now tried several times to make a test night animation. no matter what tips people gave me, it just didn't work. I tried the tip from kulche and Vönark and it didn't work either. I tried it with handles and without handles. no matter what number I enter in "y", it just doesn't work.

there are no errors ingame but the problem is that it just doesn't show up ingame.

it would be nice if anyone could make me a night animation for this building, for example, so that i can see how it works. please.

The building is ugly bcs its just a test.

[terse void]

try removing light switching, so that you can see it during day as well

[devout escarp]

It appears now. But if i Include the Light switching it dont appear

[devout escarp]

fixed. Finally.

💀

[rocky geode]

Night switch is only visible at night

[devout escarp]

[lime rapids]

first of all crop the image and remove height attribute

or adjust it accordingly
