Overview
Overview
Theo News Network (TNN) adds a scrolling news ticker similar to the one found in SimCity 3000. A variety of headlines can appear, many of which are silly and humorous. Special headlines can also appear during certain in-game events!

Extra options for the plug-in can be found within the settings menu. There you can customize aspects of the news ticker and enable/disable certain headlines.

This plug-in has support for custom add-ons. These can add extra headlines to the news ticker. See the tutorial below for more information. If the add-ons are made correctly, they can function on their own without the original plug-in installed.
Special headlines may also appear if you have certain plug-ins installed. I plan on supporting Age of Sail and the Temperature Tool sometime in the future.
Unfortunately, Theo News Network only supports English.
If you're still having trouble, I'd recommend watching this video and/or leaving a comment. (COMING SOON)

Add-on Tutorial:
Add-on Tutorial:
Add-ons for TNN are quite easy to make! All you need is your text editor of choice. Just follow my steps and you should be done in no time.
1) Click on the following button and download the ZIP file.
2) Find the ZIP file in your download folder and extract it into TheoTown's plugins folder.
3) Rename the JSON file, the Lua file, and the add-on's folder. Make sure none of them start with special characters (#, @, etc).
4) Open the JSON file and change the ID to something unique. Then update "script" with the new name you gave the Lua file.
5) Save the JSON file and open the Lua file.
6) Take all 5 instances of "newsPack.example" in the code and change the 2nd half to something unique. Some valid examples are "newsPack.simCityAddon" and "newspack.myEpicHeadlines". Do not change the prefix, and do not reuse this name in other add-ons!
7) Go to "function script:settings ()", scroll down, and find the "name" variable. Feel free to change the text to anything you want. This is what users will see when they try to enable/disable your add-on in the settings.
8) Go to "function script:earlyInit ()", scroll down, and find "local customHeadlines = Array {". Now add all your headlines in-between the curly brackets. Every headline should have quotes around it. Every headline also needs a comma at the end, except for the last headline.
9) Finally, download the following file and place it within the add-on's folder.
