I think it would be cool when I'm making plugin I could choose how we can put something
For example:
lengthwise (like roads),
syngly and
sectorally
What do you think

The thing that I don't really understand these words. The zoning for 1x1 tile is available right now.

Ahh that word zoning
And what? it's available?

If you have any 1x1 plugin buildings that you want laid out that way, you can change their type to decoration temporarily and use Lobby's areal layout tool in them, make sure that set own buildings to untouchable is true, lay them out, and then change them back to what they were.

It would work best with one plugin at a time in a line.

Sounds complicated but maybe it isn't so it's time to try

[CommanderABab]

Code: Select all

{
      "id": "$yourbuildingid",
      "type": "residential",
      "author": "CommanderABab",
      "width": 1,
      "height": 1,
      "draw ground":true,
      "frames": [
        {"bmp": "your1x1.png"}
       ],
      "habitants": 500,
      "level": 2 
   }

Say the above is a residential plugin of yours.

[CommanderABab]

Code: Select all

{
      "id": "$yourbuildingid",
      "type": "residential",
      "author": "CommanderABab",
      "width": 1,
      "height": 1,
      "draw ground":true,
      "frames": [
        {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"},         {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"},
          {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"},         {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"},
         {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"},         {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"},
         {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"},         {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"}
       ],
      "habitants": 500,
      "level": 2
   }

Say the above is a residential plugin of yours.

You would make the frames statement like above here

[CommanderABab]

Code: Select all

{
      "id": "$yourbuildingid",
      "type": "decoration",
      "author": "CommanderABab",
      "width": 1,
      "height": 1,
      "draw ground":true,
      "frames": [
        {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"},         {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"},
          {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"},         {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"},
         {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"},         {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"},
         {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"},         {"bmp": "your1x1.png"},{"bmp": "your1x1.png"}
       ],
      "habitants": 500,
      "level": 2,      
       "frame alignment area":true
   }

Say the above is a residential plugin of yours.

You would make the frames statement like above here

Now change the type to decoration as above and add this statement to the end

Code: Select all

"frame alignment area":true

Hey @CommanderABab
I sawed something about code named frame alignment area but when I want to build it game crash
Maybe it's still not what I'm looking for

[MXD77]

Ahh great timing

[CommanderABab]

It requires 16 frames, that might be why it crashed if you didn't have 16.

Yeah it's simple but, not for my

[MXD77]

It still don't work and after crash frames in json was reduced by half
EDIT
I made 32 frames and it's work finally

[Lobby]

That's strange, 16 frames should be sufficient. Note that using the same image for multiple frames won't take up extra texture space
