normally u can just reenter after 2 minutes
12:25
as soon as ur others timed out
Avatar
hasnt happende 😄
Avatar
r u even on ddnet?
Avatar
yeah, now they "got kicked" and im still having bad ping and all the rest
Avatar
but then it should happen, except you changed ur timeout code
12:28
my pc somehow went to sleep mode, when i reentered the game woulnt open, like just stays in the background, then i closed it, reopened ddnet and now im here
Avatar
ok, still very unlikely timeout doesnt work, as you the first to report this, but not impossible.

u can also add sequences like u press "g" and your mouse will fire and tear emoji, and press r and u have normal fire
Avatar
how do i set a map in settings>ddnet>background? writing the maps name doesnt seem to work
Avatar
you need mapname.map
14:05
and then restart the client maybe
Avatar
how comes some images i post to mapres folder dont work in editor?
Avatar
not png, else editor should warn?, maybe also pnglite limitation
Avatar
where did you get the images? can you post an example?
Avatar
How does this part work what
Avatar
shoot the tele nade thing or smth
16:29
with the nade
16:29
then u go <
Avatar
I come from left and the telenade doesnt do anything feels like
16:31
just ports me to the same spot
16:32
that means it worked
16:32
i think it activates some switch
16:32
then u go backwards into the map and go somewhere that the switch allows u to go
Avatar
ooh sounds right
Avatar
why do the tiles do this
Avatar
did u mess up ur default mapres

all my mapres images are in png including defualt ones, i just started using mapres as a way to create a custom bakcground then use it in other games, but some images dont work whilst other do, mos tmy images i convert from jpg to png and its random

heinrich5991
where did you get the images? can you post an example?
this shit as a joke to get a sense of size ratio because 4:3 seems to be the defualt in editor, but it wont work
Avatar
that's a .jpg
17:41
the editor only understands .png
17:41
you can try re-exporting the image in png
Avatar
bruh i mihgtve sent to u the jpg version but ive got it in nnpg
Avatar
ah
Avatar
this is the one and in properties its png
Avatar
not sure but maybe wrong bit rate/depth or smth, worked for me after exporting with gimp
Avatar
mines opens wiht microsoft photos
Avatar
i think pnglite doesn't supports some specific things, like indexed colors and stuff like that
18:19
old header formats maybe too
Avatar
so what do i do for it to work?
Avatar
what tux said
18:19
?
Avatar
yes
Avatar
so i export a png photo to png?
Avatar
just export as RGB png
18:20
yes
18:20
thx
Avatar
we have a pr for libpng which probs is less restrictive on these formats, but dunno when we'll merge it xd
Avatar
wait can editor allow video or gif bakcgrounds?
Avatar
no
Avatar
so what is the rocket flying in the map "planet mercury"?
Avatar
It's a mapre
19:32
It's an image with a custom "envelope" that defines it's trajectory

How can i download ddracenetwork without steam? (linux) (edited)
Avatar
would ddnet administrators ever look into making custom backgrounds on non entities view?
Avatar
you mean ddnet devs? :P
Avatar
who ever mods nad udates the game
Avatar
ya, that's the devs
21:19
good idea
21:19
but maybe would look weird with some maps
21:19
plus how to handle quads, hide or show
21:19
probably show but again, might look weird
Avatar
I find it weird to mix half the graphics from a map with graphics from another
Avatar
I don't think it's a bad idea to add as a setting, but I think it's not a high priority addition because of the weirdness it would cause
21:25
it would be more experimental I guess
Avatar
u cant rly cuz each map has different bg layers and it will be hard to detect what to change
Avatar
but they already did it with enitites i cant imagine it will be hard to do the same for no entitites
Avatar
I like the idea that ddnet is a client where you have total control, makes no assumptions about the user and trusting them
21:27
louis i think it would just have a setting to hide/show quads
21:27
but all tile layer would be shown
21:27
but you're right, some bg stuff is complementary to the tile layer in weird cases probably
Avatar
if u can already do this with entities it mus tnot be that hard to change 😄
Avatar
well @ab.com think about the map layers. there is not always a consistent separation between quads and tile layer. the implementation could be messy, and you would have to decide between quads or no quads
21:28
plus the bg itself is just a giant quad
21:29
you would have to determine the bottom quad layer and ignore that
21:29
then replace with custom bg
Avatar
i mean, most maps ive played have 1 layer which u can see i chnage to amongus, other than that im sure they could make a seethru layer for what ever else is in place, in maps with high details layers
Avatar
if multiple quads are in that layer then it would cause issues
21:30
it makes demands of mappers
21:30
I'm not sure that's the best solution
21:30
I still like your idea I just think there's weird implications
Avatar
from the messing about and creating my own maps, only things which would be an issue is extra layers but those could be changed easily if they created some sort of re-map design
Avatar
any setting that needs map redesigns is one that's unlikely to get added
Avatar
as i know its wouldnt be too hard to take a layer say the flyign rocket in planet mercury or the blosom flowers in copy love box and change it to its own which when named specificaly woudl go seethru
21:32
i get it
Avatar
I think it would be better to just ignore all quads
21:32
only get tile layers
21:32
so for sunny side up you would still see the tiles but nothing like the grass / sun
Avatar
on thta note, any good entities to play wiht, most are cool but always have a major part missing like they down show cp or big tip mappers leave wich other entitie show
Avatar
in the editor quads and tiles are defined well, so it should be simpler to implement

i dont need the grass 😄 i just want some stupig lil picture thats all
21:33
I just like entities
21:34
I think most people who don't use entities just have bad entities lol
Avatar
what is a good one, i only have defualt and comfort which i like but lacks a lot of stuff u need to see
Avatar
my entities are comfort with some of my own changes
21:35
solid pink unhook, solid orange hook
21:35
very easy to see hookthru (white striped)
Avatar
i like the comfort but it misses a lot of stuff like unfreeze and so on in MANYYYY maps
21:36
it just doesnt work somehow
Avatar
I highly recommend tela's entities or aoe
Avatar
where can i see them?
Avatar
@tela do you have an official link for your entities? I could host it on teehou.se
21:36
but if you want to keep it semi-private I understand
Avatar

ab.com

I'm confused by what you mean
21:37
it will always show unfreeze, maybe it's just too hard for you to see?
21:37
I agree some things in comfort can be lower contrast
21:37
which is something I changed
Avatar
there are custom entities on the forum
Avatar
ah yes he should just post there
Avatar
i know some maps like blmapv3royal uses their own set of entities, but when i find a map that i can change entities on, defualt shows stuff comfort doesnt and vice versa
Avatar
default entities are kinda fire tho
Avatar
yeah they're great honestly
21:38
skeith is a diehard default ent player
Avatar
i have like a default+ pack i made with better stoppers and w/e
Avatar
louise sometimes having a laser being shown is more simple to understand than using defualt and seeying a door entitie 😄
Avatar
@louis comfort stoppers are amazing ty
21:39
though I might change the 4 way stop
21:40
to be more consistent / less rounded
21:40
@louis I'm too lazy to check forum if you posted there, can u dm me the default+ ents?
Avatar
also coudlnt they add the backgroudn feature to miscalenious?
Avatar
where it would be wouldn't be the issue, just how to implement it
21:42
but yeah probs
Avatar
well thats good to hear there is a slight iny winy chance
