Hi everyone! Just started posting and doing plugin stuff, 2nd post ever! I thought I would save others the trouble I just went through trying to figure this out. (for sidewalks for my upcoming roads plugin :)

There is an error of sorts in Lobby's posted code, and zip. Obviously the in game decos are fine, but the problem seems to be spread to others plugins. The same problem was even in Rockforts trees deco json, and i'm sure many others.

The image coordinates are a bit off.. doesnt show with his trees, or really much at all unless you are trying to do sidewalks or anything that hugs the road, or are OCD with ya pixels :D)

Anyway..
{"id":"$anim_roaddeco_sample00_00","type":"animation","frames":[{"bmp":"frames.png","x":0,"w":32,"handle y":8}]},
{"id":"$anim_roaddeco_sample00_01","type":"animation","frames":[{"bmp":"frames.png","x":32,"w":32,"handle y":8}]},
{"id":"$anim_roaddeco_sample00_02","type":"animation","frames":[{"bmp":"frames.png","x":64,"w":32,"handle y":8}]},
{"id":"$anim_roaddeco_sample00_03","type":"animation","frames":[{"bmp":"frames.png","x":92,"w":32,"handle y":8}]}

92 should be 96

...and whalla! Thanks for the great game Lobby and putting the code and what not up for us to use and play with!

The world texture is composed from smaller buildings. I use "offset x" and "offset y" to specify from where to pick the frames from. Since you usually bundle your own graphics with your plugin there's usually no need for you to use them.

It's up to you to specify for which alignment of the road which frames/animations should be drawn. Therefore it's also possible to use exactly two frames :)

:66: contains new attributes; I added them to the first post.

Hello guys, anyone remember the road barrier plugin? Not sure if Lobby or Commander made it. But can it work as a road deco? or it would remain as an on click fun plugin?

It is part of the game, it is a road decoration and it uses on click fun.

Hi :)

How can I create a rotation aware road deco for frame 5 and 10 (straight road) of the road, because rotation 0 (default) and 2 build the same road deco :/ and I don't want it into my plugin
Hmm...

You could try a fun using "road usage" in the condition statement. Keep in mind that it probably includes all levels of road at that tile: road, bridge(s), and tunnel.
