@Riazzen if you are using latest version then there should be Run server option in main menu

how do I add a server to my favourites list

@Real you can do it by selecting info tab when using server browser

08:06

or by going here when you already joined the server

how do custom skins work - specifically, does anyone who has the "download skins" box enabled see my custom skin? and if i make edits to my skin with the same filename, do they still see the old one cached?

@muddy it only works for skin names from ddnet database as far as i know

well once i get my skin to a satisfactory level i'll probably submit it then

08:54

also on the topic of custom skins, the feet on my skin are square and the square edges wind up with ugly white artifacts. is there a way to make the artifacting less bad?

yes, drag ur skin into dilate.exe in ddnet folder

I don't know if this has been asked before but isn't there a way to prevent newer players that don't even know how to hammerhit to join Brutal maps without noobfilter like Stronghold? Or players that that get carried to a difficult part and then fail the whole team? It makes it unecessarely difficult to play in team 0.

This has been a problem since forever

Are you trying to tell me that there is nothing to do or just wanted to agree?

Both

Block them

13:27

Dont help them

@Deleted User They block you.

Then get your revenge

13:29

Its either you or them

Blocking someone that can't even get to the second part of the map isn't very helpful since they will just jump down and will be at the same position again. And they could also just wait until someone else comes.

tell them to go to a novice server, if they keep trying to play even if theyre super bad just dont help them/hammerhit them

13:46

thats kinda how t0 works, ur teammates are like a wild card

in respons to @JMarcell and @think twice. couldnt ddnet create a new genra if they do end up creating this "new difficulty rating" scale. where youd still have normal servers like novice brutal fng... but also another server which would work like mot games, the pc will look at you total points and put you in a catagory same as most shooting games.

14:03

And no this doenst mean only new maps will be there, we can have old maps but just a way of sorting out kids (and points seems like over best way to do so). so people can enjoy some what same level skill friends

Its a no from me. Points dont really say how good a player is

14:06

I saw enough players with with low points be good and other players with over 10k be a hot mess

14:07

What if I want to use a new name and want to play brutal or whats stopping me from changing my name to Aoe and then join a server

PORQUE CUANDO VOY A ENTRAR AL JUEGO SE ME PARA LA PANTALLA Y SE QUEDA HACI?

Porque

Porcodillo

Where i can find the demo ?

@Deleted User im not sayign the new type of system will block you form playign maps, waht im sayign is , imagine they called the new mode points ( like novice fng exist) and when you enter any "points" maps you get sectioned by your points, now yes once again ddnet doesnt want to change how names and accoutns work which is kinda sad but most poeple like to stick to their name so you'd have more fun this way with people your level of skill.

Its a no from me. Points dont really say how good a player is

Points really only matter if somebody has 0 points, then it's probably a new player?

No just a new name

not realy @builder17 u cant just have a lot of poitns and be trash, that only happens if someone copys a famous name which is ddnets part to intorduce such system and only naggers if seen is guys who are "lazy" to type in a password once in their life time

16:58

points are earned by playing and at one point uve finished all eazy maps you need to do hard ones to earn more, so points do give a pretty fair judgment of how good a player is, however its the fualty system which allows anyone to use a high point name that stops this from becoming a serious game with good reputation, would stop ip abbusers, and give actual ranks rather than (reputation for being good player)

Thats why noob filters are thing thing

17:03

Beginners usually dont stand a chance on some old school maps w notorious noob filters..

17:03

And they tend to give up quite fast

but many come, get carired to a specific point then kill you wiht thei low skill iq

17:03

its a thing

Well again..noob filters are magical

anyways, im going rn will respond later

is it possible to create a private server to avoid lags and trying maps without your time being saved when you finish ?

when switching from an older version or vanilla client, what do u have to do replace? the files get put into the teeworlds folder anyway so its shared, right? you just need to replace the .cfg to keep all the binds etc.

17:55

?

You can start your own server from the client and play in lan. The rcon password will be displayed in the console which you can use to vote downloaded maps.

ok gonna try thx

18:03

but won t I still have the same ping if i do that ?

Your ping should be around 0.

18:04

To find your server you have to switch to the lan tab and make sure your filters don't hide it.

You could open settings_ddnet.cfg with a text editor and copy/paste your binds from another cfg?

@think twice. thx a lot did worked
