Guys, im new to mapping. Im watching tutorials where people test they're map straight away. How do we do that ?

can use lan server and access editor while in game, then reload in f2

12:40

do u know how to open a map in lan server?

Im googling that right know (edited)

12:59

I have the DDNet-Server.exe now

12:59

I found out how to run the server

13:00

But cant manage to open my map

put the password into f2

13:00

and in f2 put "sv_map mapname"

oooh

13:01

nice worked

13:01

❤️

13:03

Is there a way to refresh the map fast ? After doing some modification in the editor, do i just go back to my server and write "sv_map mapname" again ?

Reload

thanks !

@JonnyGeek or open a trashmap server. Not sure what the website is and if there are no ddos attacks tho. But it is something like trashmap.ddnet.tw

13:38

Ah yeah the website is correct

or http://zaf.ddnet.tw/ if you're from south africa

13:39

though having to upload your map with every map change is kind of annoying if you're using trashmaps

Yup

13:41

Changing map is annoying anyway

How do I make the finish and the end line visible ? I can see it only in entities mode

14:00

Do it need to embed entities ?

u add mapres

you map your gameplay in the game layer, for the visuals you need to create a new tile layer / with a tileset/mapres and redraw them

14:03

basicaly you first create the gameplay in entities and if your happy with it you create the design

14:03

why my entities are different ?

14:04

do I need to download anthing ?

dont use those

14:05

use ddnet_tiles and generic_unhookable or something like that

14:05

for design

14:05

or grass_main

Oh ddnet_tiles are perfect

14:06

thanks !

the gameplay relevant layers are dark gray marked, everything else (in the lighter grey layers is for visuals only

Oh I should do two groups too, one design one for tiles

you can do multiple groups

hmmm cool, i'll go play around with it

its just easyer if you separate sameish things together (i usualy do solid group (ground, hookthrough,hookables etc.), transparent (freeze, signs, ddnet tiles etc.) and mid / background

okay perfect ty

have fun with the editor

why is entities.png still staying in data/mapres?

I'd rather ask why not update them to latest

is there a need for having entities in mapres?

Guys, how can I open my lan server to a friend ?

port forward 8303

18:02

and they can join via ip

18:02

or in the internet tab if you do sv_register 1 in autoexec_server.cfg

18:03

or type sv_register 1 in f2

is typed that in f2

18:04

and gave my friend the ip

18:04

He cant join

u have to free ur port

forward ur port

18:09

u have to search up how to port forward

18:10

alternatively, use a trashmap server

18:10

which is a 3rd party hoster that u and ur friend can join easily

Is it possible to compile trashmap for Chile?

@timakro

If there is demand maybe @deen could set up trashmap on Chile

@timakro would that have any cost?

They pay for the Chile server anyways so apart from some maintenance work, no You can contribute to the funding of the servers here https://ddnet.tw/funding/ (edited)

Oh, ye I see that already. Thanks!

@timakro Our Chile server is pretty much running at its limit with the resources and the next upgrade is about 3 times the cost, not sure it's worth it

Ok, i don't think so
