DDraceNetwork - mapping

True, sometimes u also hit it accidentally and need to remove it manually

how do i put a spawn tile ? ;-;

09:38

bcs i did a very small map

Editor > game > spawn tile (marked as default tee and whitish bg)

sike

You can also hold your cursor at different game tiles so it gives a short description of what it does

doesnt work :/

09:40

it took me 1h to place an unhook square

09:41

0-0'

Hmmm you using ddnet?

yes

What exactly you want to do

spawn on my map so i can test it

09:43

when i load the map on server

You need to run LAN server to test it

09:43

Hmm

Deleted User

You need to run LAN server to test it

when i do it i dont spawn

were u on the game or entities layer when u placed the spawn tiles?

entities

try the game layer

okkkk we can do this ???

09:44

why do i have to have an entities layer ?

u dont have to have an entities layer xd

Have you looked at any mapping guide? xd

yes ;-;

And there was "entities" ?

ok i just undestood

Try to place unhookables first

that i only set images

XD

09:46

Happens

Because you only have graphics but you cant walk on them

first map i do 0w0

Then watch tutorials

Ama

Because you only have graphics but you cant walk on them

yes but i did not understand that in the tutorials we were placing images

Inages are fir design

09:47

For*

You need that game layer you already have

so first i do my map only with the game layer

09:50

then i put the images on the map

09:51

Problem is that tutorials are from 5 years ago TwT

Depends of your prefferences, for example I make design placement before putting game tiles xd

They are still enought to understand basics of mapping, probably you just got it wrong

yep

10:05

works :D

i am happy :D

Astramast

so first i do my map only with the game layer

Making design first is sometimes faster

10:41

There is "automap" function which allows you to fill every occupated tile on the design layer with some game tile

:O

10:42

dunno, i am just discovering the editor doing some funny things

10:42

how do i change the tp number ?

oooooh

10:46

thank u :D

10:46

i did this actually

why not use teles instead?

10:48

killtiles gives a lot of problems xD

Put more kill tiles

10:48

This is not enough

looks not that bad though

Deleted User

killtiles gives a lot of problems xD

?

10:55

what kind of problems

with enought speed you can skip throught them

=-='

10:59

u cant get enough speed

10:59

it is a noob filter

10:59

and i made a second way to go that make u skip the part 1

there are enought ways to get enought speed after unsolo

;-;

just use teles instead

i can also put unhook (edited)

11:01

just behind

as you wish

It's certainly amazing, that the tutorial section on the forum is popular again !)) Unfortunately you're totally right, the information there is vastly outdated. I'm sry for the inconvenience this may have caused you .__. (@Astramast) So, I'm in the process of re-writing and updating the essential bits: LINK LIST (https://forum.ddnet.tw/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2420) MAPPING ABC (https://forum.ddnet.tw/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2419) That means, at least the existing links should work again and the list is now categorized in different topics and covers all currently existing topics in the forum. There are still many things to do, though (like adding back the pictures / links in the Mapping ABC :o) But as WSike wrote: The recent ddnet versions mostly enhanced and simplified the editor! In other words: The basic features stayed the same, it's just more accesible nowadays. Therefore, if you read and understand the explanations in the (outdated) tutorial threads you should definitely have a solid base to discover the (updated) editor :> Also, i renamed the Mapping ABC just for you @Tiffany :3

i just found a family of 24 maps that all use the same envelope:

i found them thanks to the envelope having an easily identifiable name with invalid utf8: ��ŀ��倀��

13:54

the envelope has a quite unique pattern

Patiga

the envelope has a quite unique pattern

701 envelopes ^-^

13:56

that clarifies my question from before

:D

13:56

the map only uses like 3 of them tho

xD really?

13:56

lol

btw you guys think its possible to add a quick selection when u apply them to the layers?

ah, this one uses 0 actually

i have to go from 0 clicking to 50

50% silex maps

what is an enveloppe ?

Bomb | DerpDEX | Ambit Finance

There is "automap" function which allows you to fill every occupated tile on the design layer with some game tile

please tell me that i can do the same in the other way

an envelope is an animation

15:47

so for example if you see a spinning sun on a map, thats an envelope doing the spinning

15:48

envelopes can move & rotate & change the color of quads, move & rotate & change the volume of sound sources, change the color of tiles layers

does editor have delete unused envelopes function?

i dont think so, but it already shows you which envelopes are used. when you scroll through the envelopes, red background -> used, green background -> unused

btw you guys think its possible to add a quick selection when u apply them to the layers?

Patiga ^-^'

oh well that should definitely be possible, but needs to be programmed. you could open an issue on github https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/issues :)

ddnet/ddnet

DDraceNetwork, a cooperative racing mod of Teeworlds - ddnet/ddnet

16:12

if you haven't opened an issue before i would encourage you to try it out ^^. but i can also open it for you if you like @QuiX

i mean it can be really useful if you work with alot of envelopes. I will open one np ! ^-^ thx (edited)

how can i test my map with a friend or someone random ?

make a server

done

16:51

and ?

portforward the server port

how do i do that and is this dangerous ?
