I'm looking for YOUR downloadedmaps folder to complete my map archive at https://heinrich5991.de/teeworlds/maps/maps/ (warning, might slow chromium down)

05:36

zip your downloadedmaps folder up and upload it somewhere (e.g. I just found https://anonfiles.com/ which seems to allow up to 20GB, or https://solidfiles.com/ which I suggested before, up to 500MB)

05:40

afterwards PM me the link

thanks for your contribution

Are a lot of trash and unfinished maps OK?

yes

hoarding, i like it

send YOUR downloadedmaps folder and MAKE DDNET GREAT AGAIN!

monkalaugh

how come germany 1 server is so much more expensive, compared to like POL

you forgot TAX FREE

07:21

there are alot of factors, processor performance, network performance

ah how i wish i could dedicate our left-over servers/bandwidth at work for others

Hax

You hook cortez and go bottom right corner

07:36

And wait 7 seconds

07:36

@Nice🌙

server has anti vpn and i was looking into the ranges

@noby is the anti vpn just a list full of blocked vpn ips?

Then you have weak hook, time with Cortez hook or redo part

07:51

So you hook him and Cortez hooks right at the same time

someone with windows, can press a directory button and see if its instant opening?

07:53

(steam version)

07:54

((like "assets directory"))

07:55

and maybe the "Website" button on the home screen

Both open instantly for me@Deleted User

08:15

button to skin database & skins directory too

ok

the game has pretty much a lot of space to be filled with features

09:20

and it could be a success

@Deleted User something specific?

like more guns

09:21

hats

09:21

a currency

09:21

even main levels

new ?

Image attachment

new

what are main levels?

for example a simple puzzle to pass through

09:22

or a tutorial level (edited)

I always thought hats and currency are mostly for developers to earn money, no need for that here.

09:22

Tutorial map we definitely want and have wanted for years (edited)

you could simply not add in-app purchases lol

09:23

just like you cant buy orbs in geometry dash

this is not a mobile game

More guns sounds like more new game physics. Most of the ones we introduced in the last years were not so popular

no more guns thanks

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (edited)

the game is already complicated

it is

you should get to know more the game

takes some time to know the game, thats why a tutorial level is necessary

Well we are not a company, this is a open source project, so you can contribute if you want

ill consider if i can

09:24

as im already into coding

nice

Image attachment

yes

the tutorial is not just coding, you need good understanding of the game and mapping

how add ?

i know

where files

louis made a video about it today

click assets directory

09:26

to open the folder

ive been playing games since i was 4 years old

ok

and add ur things there

ok thnx

i personally feel uncomfortable with how the mouse works

09:28

like the buttons are so small and the mouse is fast

you can adjust UI mouse sense

09:28

its diferent from ingame mouse sense

09:29

i dont see how the buttons are small

@Deleted User about tutorial see https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/issues/269

Tutorial and/or "Getting Started" help · Issue #269 · ddnet/ddnet

When the client is started for the first time, we should show the new player around, explain some stuff and show how the game works, potentially with a tutorial map. Some ideas here: http://forum.d...

What is this?

What is what?

the overlapping bar?

14:14

idk what it is

Ah

14:14

Wait i see xD

clan plates size

14:14

I think

Guess he gets that, but he just wanted to know why ot how it is buggy

14:15

Maybe something to do with his screen resolution?

@Deleted User thanks for report, will fix

looking for teammate on RUS / GER. Wanna finish Naufrage (1) now

yea @Soreu lol

14:31

btw i always thought it would be cool if u unlocked cosmetics for each map u finished

14:31

so good players would have cool skins and hats and weapon skins

14:32

itd be an incentive to play game more

requires accounts first

but it requires accounts

14:32

yea lol

btw i always thought it would be cool if u unlocked cosmetics for each map u finished

@louis I thought about that many times. Like "points shop" where you can unlock cosmetics like golden hook for example for some amount of points earned (not spend it, just check if you have more than that)

GWlulurdWaitWhat

1

14:37

but there are not so much ppl playing TW and a lot of players use custom game.png, emoticons.png and skins

14:38

so idk if that is ok

14:40

btw what's about accounts on ddnet?

its too late to implement them

yeah, the problem is always the millions of existing ranks without account

just curious, can you identify top players by their IP

we don't save IPs for longer than two days

you must have that kind of stats, isn't you?

14:43

shit..

nope, all deleted

would be too easy to implement accs

14:43

start storing IP data on finish?

i dont think thats legal (edited)

14:44

+ u have old players who quit and you'll never get those ip's

I wouldn't care xD

14:44

+ u have old players who quit and you'll never get those ip's

@louis anyway it's better to start as soon as possible

also not really ethical to save private data on players

to be able to auto-identify as much as you can later

14:45

how many nicknames have more then 500 pts? (edited)

a lot

14:46

thousands (edited)

5866

nice

almost 5991

k, we can 100% identify top500

14:47

Manually

14:48

@heinrich5991 how many of them is from steam btw?

unclear, we don't record whether people play from steam or not

bad

14:49

If you did there would be no problems with steam accounts

troll

2

1) someone would have to implement that

14:50

2) we'd have to see whether we even want that, smells a bit like personal data

@heinrich5991 does teehistorian record timeout codes?

What if you make profiles, not real accounts, without any password?

@deen it does, timeout codes are different per server

So if you set fake name you will open any earned cosmetics

we've had the account discussion maybe 40 times so far on this discord lol

14:53

i think it would be good but its kinda hard to find a working solution

ofc, there will be 500 times more

14:53

Working solution is to store IP

no, not working. ethical and legal concerns

@heinrich5991 you made things too secure, we can't even track our own players

everything is storing IPs, can't you do the same

steal the account system from kog

14:55

justatest

why u want the account so much

kog bad

feelsamazingman

4

poggers

cosmetics, achievements

none of those will be added

shop

so no accounts needed

check for list of your own saves

14:57

renaming

u can already have ur "cosmetics" even more with latest update it allows for easier management

14:57

u can check ur list of saves

14:57

already

own saves are stored client-side in config_directory

if it was saved on current OS

14:57

and not 5 years ago

this is not a centralized game too

14:57

you know that not only ddnet servers exists right?

why TW even need no-ddnet servers

Because we used to be a small unpopular TW server and someone else might come up with something much cooler than DDNet

the current aproach even allows for u to not lose ur ranks and stuff in case ddnet goes hell

14:59

cuz everything is open and public

except saves, those are private

bluekitty

steam client would also be lost, unfortunately

well yea

15:01

i think its bad to apply that mentality you have found common in private companys with games to an open source project made by good will

btw I would donate on DDNet if there was something I can donate on xD

15:02

I think a lot of players would

https://ddnet.tw/funding/

15:02

players can donate already

15:02

u just havent found about it yet

I know it

15:02

but what's the point

More important than money is spending time on development, map testing, mapping

15:02

moderating

if I would get anything in-game for return then cool

saddo

15:03

you know what u will get?

but now it's just only a tip jar

our thanks poggers

poggers

OMG

poggers

sell mod ranks greenthing

greenthing

15:04

$5000 a piece

15:04

ddnet persia time

I want you to store my IP, can I donate on that?

sure, send me your IP address and 5€

monkalaugh

btw I think it's dynamic

15:06

so 5$ (I dont have euro on my keyboard) per day?

for storing your IP address on a text file on my computer, I'd be fine with a one-time payment of 5€

this russian guy is actually not wrong

15:18

would actually cool to have like a donator thingy ingame

15:18

a lil' pet or smth

15:18

KEKW

We get enough donations without it, people just want to help because they enjoy DDNet, no need for anything in return

see it as a thank you and not a reward

thats not how players would see it

aren't donator's nicknames displayed in donate tab?

15:21

because that's what i would call a reward

just a thought GWcmeisterPeepoShrug

GWcmeisterPeepoShrug

15:24

you are part of this list as a donator

i've seen that

im on there twice feelsamazingman

feelsamazingman

15:28

tbf my second donation was dumb

lets remove the fake one

just change tght + louis > louis

We get enough donations without it, people just want to help because they enjoy DDNet, no need for anything in return

@deen you can hire some coders or artists on more donation money you get

hola

@Дядя Женя the thing is this is a hobby game

15:31

nobody is making money off of ddnet

15:31

so there's no point in trying to maximize content/profit imo

yes, but you could. Or, if you don't want to, could hire some ppl to actually work on ddnet client / website / graphics and so on

would be awkward if some get money and others dont

might lose the community touch if you start involving money

7

then those who dont get money wont want to help

So you just get money from donations, pay for hosts, then offer someone a freelance job on the rest

15:33

that way you get nothing and don't have to work

or just go on like that because it works well and nothing wrong

always can be better

as u said

15:34

so no need to reach further

might lose the community touch if you start involving money

@heinrich5991 when there is money there is always updates and improvements

no, not always

15:36

I often see stuff go downhill once money becomes an objective

15:36

i.e. to become worse off than it was before money

Yeah, but ddnet is not a big company making a game just for monetisation and nothing more, so it's not the case here

yeah i dont think losing the community touch will be a might

15:37

it will be

I love such projects

Very often when I ask/start talking about any feature I would like to see in DDNet you tell me "Somwone would have to implement this, so no"

i think we already attracted players who dont want money to be involved, changing that will annoy those players

Here is the answer. Just hire programmers

But sadly they're not as popular as we'd all wish

ez

i think you're totally missing the goal of this game

15:38

it won't be more fun just because we add new features

I fear existing developers will get less motivated to work on the game once other people get hired to do it

15:38

I think I would get less motivated to work on it

so keep money to yourself and get some more motivation? XD (edited)

I think I'd do less if I'd get money for it

15:40

I'd have to compare it to my badly, but probably still better paying student job

why dont u pay someone urself to do ur features

15:40

just donate 100€ to heinrich so he codes what u want

xd

He said he will be less motivated then

then pay someone else

But I think I will

afaik anybody can hire a team of programmers artists etc. and make their own game based on ddrace

15:41

anybody with money ofc

pay someone for translator

and probably even collaborate with ddnet, as long as it matches the vision

15:41

hiring people costs a lot

ofc

15:42

50€/h

Not so much in Russia)

xdd

and i think you would have to make ddnet lucrative if u hire anyone ?

15:42

it means some new rules

15:42

that may comprise things we dont want

Will someone who's familiar with ddnet source code help me to update hud graphics for example, if I will provide graphics for it and mockup?

We could maybe do bug/feature bounties, but actually making it a job for people would be very meh

ye

I've found weak hook bug

15:50

fixit

The weak hook bug and where it is has been known for a looong time

15:51

Actually fixing it is rather controversial though, @ᶰ°Konͧsti loves to argue about it, you can try to convince him

you cant fix weak

15:52

fixing it would break maps

I fear existing developers will get less motivated to work on the game once other people get hired to do it

@heinrich5991 definitly

15:52

i would probably just go to another project

15:53

which maybe some ppl want me to lmao monkalaugh

monkalaugh

@Learath2 seems like I reset some sort of counter?

15:54

"mature in 14d"

15:54

whatever that means

I have no idea, but you did reset it indeed

sorry for that

what counter?

I think it's just time so maintainers can mark it as invalid after merging?

There's a fourteen-day review window for all pull requests before they count toward completing the challenge. Once a participant has submitted four eligible pull requests (ready-to-review, not drafts), the review window begins. This period gives maintainers time to identify and label spammy pull requests as invalid. If the pull requests are not marked as invalid within that window, they will allow the user to complete the Hacktoberfest challenge. If any of the pull requests are labeled as invalid, the user will return to the pending state until they have four eligible pull requests, at which point the review period will start again.

oh right

15:55

i wanted to participate

15:55

but i saw they required u to watch a full video

15:55

and rules changed

moving the timer to the end worked

its sad this is getting so corporate-ish

T-shirts (or the option to plant a tree) will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis to the first 70,000 participants who successfully complete the Hacktoberfest challenge. We’ll start sending out emails with more details on redeeming T-shirts throughout the month, so stay tuned.

i only got stickers years ago

15:59

Pull requests can be made in any participating GitHub-hosted repositories/projects. Maintainers can opt-in to participate by classifying their projects with the hacktoberfest topic.

15:59

so now maintainers have to opt in

16:00

oh ddnet did it

16:00

monkalaugh

@deen btw ddnet from steam works from mac, just gotta disable the overlay of steam

16:16

i'll check on next update if i auto update it

accounts suck, monetize the game sucks and deleting weak hook sucks the most

never change weak hook please

yeah dont

why

its part of the game

i would like to have the "all players have strong hook" option for mappers

21:13

Why

21:13

20 .. 21 .. 22 .. 110 .. 23 .. 24

Because when we tested the map we found tha part too faily, so we asked Zerodin to add another checkpoint. And since the rest was mapped already, he just used the last number

damn does kobra rly have 110 cps

Why is your "110" number fits in 1 tile? (edited)
