Good news, with version 284 we will double the available texture space for plugins to 1024x2048 pixels.

That might be subject to change if we need the space in the future, but for now we have enough space so we can give it to you.

That is great news!

What did that mean? I can make 8x16 tile plug in or something?

It basically means that you can have more plugins now than before. If you didn't reach the limit yet you probably also won't reach it in the near future 8)

Yay!

I'm planning to make Empire State Building in real scale, so I'm asking'
Did that mean I can make plug ins double the size of the tallest building in game?

No, that won't work. The maximum height of buildings is limited to 512px. The reason is that otherwise those buildings will disappear too early when you scroll them out at the bottom.

However, you could use a single animation with one frame to let your building look higher.

wait.
the height limit is 512px ? Isn't it 225 or something ?

Oops, you're right

In Pixly, my Level T skyscraper uses 250 pixels..
And the height is 21.

Maximum height is 32x8=256px and it's measured from the pivot point of the building. So a building with a big base size might have a higher image as source.

Anyway, as mentioned you can get around these limitations if you really want by using animations.

Ok this might be an off topic but, how much pixels did Theo use for one floor? I use 7..

You might count yourself, it varies

For example here it's 5.

Ok, thanks
So that means, I'm gonna shrunk the floors of my empire state building so it can reach 101 floors.. Plus that tall white thing on top.. The floor of the tallest red TT apartment is 50, so its gonna take me so much work

A pixel is a bit more than half a meter because people are 3 pixels
So, 7 pixels is around 4 meter

Thats prettu big

Is there a page I can read to teach me about plug ins and how to use them?

Thanks
