In the console, type

Code: Select all

export:"directory name of plugin"
It will be placed in the Theotown folder.

The presented way of packaging plugins is deprecated. We are using .ttplugin files now which can be generated here.

.plugin is an encrypted version of .zip
.json cannot be changed
Just my opinion

Then in the menu a new console option will appear.
Write to the console

Code: Select all

export:"x"
replacing x with the directory of the plugin you want to encrypt to plugin file. Then confirm the command and the plugin file will appear in the main TheoTown directory. I hope I helped
its not work, the directory is on my Phone Storage
Whats wrong in this code
maybe you can share your exact example. :cry:

Code: Select all

export:"storage/emulated/0/Boundary by Caliber v1.2.zip"

And you use the folder name, not the name of the json file.

A 1x1 tile would be 32x16 pixels.

The colored pixels of this road texture section are the normal base of a 1x1 tile, 32 pixel wide x 16 pixel high. Only 15 pixels of the height should be used as the base, because the center of the height is only one pixel high. The center of the width is 4 pixels, two pixels each side of the center line.

Why should the texture be 32x16 when only 32x15 are used? Because, 15 as an odd number doesn't scale up well. :)
