They were added back in 2019 or 2018 I think for the halloween feature...

Also a question, is it possible to do a custom influence via json?

I'm glad you are learning how to make plugins. :)

In your submitted plugin-store plugin;

These lines should be removed from the code:

Code: Select all

[
    "category": "false",
        "zone": "false",
]
They are not used in that way.

As for the image;
Should have transparent background, not white.
Should have transparent background, not white.
Image should be 64 pixels wide for a 2x2 building.
Image should be 64 pixels wide for a 2x2 building.
So, the base should be of this shape for a 2x2 plugin.

I usually use Novix.

It's really simple and rarely updated. :)

Great!

Now, may I suggest less color saturation, a darker green for the grass, shading on the buildings, and shadows? :)

I didn't fix the buildings themselves, but I fixed the placement and shadows.

The red and blue diagram shows how shadows should go. :)
