No but A was applied in all scripts

That shouldn't be a problem
Each script would load the module seperately
Does the MDL module have dependencies as well
It will error if MDL has a dependency your script has as well
You probably have a circular require somewhere

Hello, I tried custom ninepatch, only frame at bottoms and the first 6 frames are null but it didn't cast isn't really the game intention not to cast first null frame or a bug?
hollow radish
how do I write the night frames if I have 2 frames like this?
cerulean crypt
Add "rotation aware":true,
hollow radish
even if it's not a rotationable?
cerulean crypt
"animation":
[
{"Id":"H1a light","frame":0},
{"Id":"H1b light","frame":1}
]
If u have more rotation just add
frame 2 = 3rd rotation
Frame 3 = 4th rotation
hollow radish
"animation":
[
{"Id":"H1a light","frame":0},
{"Id":"H1b light","frame":1}

frame:0 <- is this the night texture?

Hello, I'm having a problem with plugin settings i used Util.optStorage() and TheoTown storage for saving values , settings works fine ingame it, change values but didn't save when you exit the game and always set the values to default upon Initialize
I'd also try direct saving on TheoTown storage without used of optStorage but still wont work
weak mural
can i see the code?
elfin geyser
Nvm it's fixed, that isn't a proper way but i move the initializer(value loader) on the other script
potent jolt
You're probably assigning a variable by value where you intended it to be by reference
elfin geyser
No i used
stg.value1 = stg.value1 or false
--2nd attemp was
stg.value1 = stg.value1 == nil and false or stg.value1
Which both not get saved value i want, n only works when i made transfer them to other script
elfin geyser
stg = Util.optStorage(TheoTown.getStorage(), id, {})
And also (for 2nd attemp)
stg = Util.optStorage(TheoTown.getStorage(), id)
Actually what i conclude here in my script is
function script:init() with getting values and function script:settings() are not work accurately on same script
potent jolt
thats strange i do not have any issues with it
potent jolt
youre not accidentally making it global right?
i do it like this
where settings is a local i defined at the start of my script
elfin geyser
I looked up about your cinematic script before that made me confused like "why it's work in his script than mine"

But it's fine now on the way i did, and i gues that's important thing for now

potent jolt
none that i know of
but if youre using script:draw in a tool remember to set the tool filter to increase performance
-- Use filter for draw function for better performance since 1.9.33
if TheoTown.setToolFilter then
TheoTown.setToolFilter{
water = true, -- Call it for water
building = true, -- or for buildings
road = true, -- or for road
mouse = true -- or for mouse location (desktop only)

Hello. I was looking at edited photos of TheoTown made with photoshop or something like that. And asked a question… Is it even possible to do something like this? It is clear that these wont be shaders like in minecraft, it’s impossible. But remembering the graphics settings (gray classic, etc.), I wondered if it was possible to make my own filter. in theory, find the file responsible for color saturation, and make something that will resemble a picture.
(I’m not sure if this is the right channel to ask that)

Some of the shadows in that picture don't exist in the original textures. They were probably hand-drawn. I'm not sure there's an easy way to do that automatically

the lua api has no functions for reading the contents of a frame
if you were skilled enough you could probably make a flowing river plugin or something

As far as I'm aware we just cannot

There are already some filters in the game, so we can try to do something like this
but it requires cooperation with developers

It would require their help yes
But they'd probably say that it's too heavy on performance to leave up to lua

Of course. It’s impossible to make the filter with shadows, so we just change the colours

when lua doesnt have a clamp function
local randomPos = math.random(cityHeight - MIN_DISTANCE * 2)
if randomPos >= current - MIN_DISTANCE then
randomPos = randomPos + MIN_DISTANCE * 2

now thats an improvement
from ```lua
local function belowCurrent()
return math.random(current - MIN_DISTANCE)
end
local function aboveCurrent()
return math.random(current + MIN_DISTANCE, cityHeight)
end
-- check if point isnt too close to city border
if current + MIN_DISTANCE > cityHeight then
return belowCurrent()
elseif current - MIN_DISTANCE < 0 then
return aboveCurrent()
-- decide whether to go above or below current point
elseif math.random() > 0.5 then
return aboveCurrent()
else
return belowCurrent()
end
why not?
