how'd you get rainbown skins? im seeying people using but i didnt find any rainbown tee

player_color_body and player_color_feet can change your colors in console. You can bind common inputs like left, right, jump to also change colors. So something like bind a "+left; player_color_body 12082731

01:52

do that with a few diff inputs and boom rainbow skin. There's a delay tho so it won't change your colors immediately

Hello, can this game make the cursor smaller?

Hello, can this game make the cursor smaller?

Hi, you can customize the "game.png" with an image editing program, that way you can scale down the cursors. Then save it in the assets folder so you can select it in the client afterwards. (edited)

That's actually for the crosshairs ingame. If you meant the cursor in the menus, scale down the "gui_cursor.png" found in your ddnet/data folder. (edited)

Wow! Thank you politely!

i have try to make a custom game.png using paint

09:50

and still the pistol part

09:51

some help with cursor pls

09:52

Reason : too lazy and not creative

09:52

and thicc mouse

the crosshairs? what do you want them to be?

Hey guys, I've got a question about bindings: when binding with a .cfg file, like for the dummy deep fly toggle you get an echo on the screen saying "Deep Fly On/Off" or whatever. Is it possible to change the color of that echo? i wanna bind the dummy reset on switch with an echo so i know if its active or not and I'd like to have it in another colour to distinguish it from the Deep Fly echo.

10:25

this is what i mean, i basically want to change the Text color of that xD

Image attachment

you can change the color of all echo messages but not each one individually

10:29

"client message (echo)" in the HUD settings

10:29

I really wish you could do this too

Ah damn okay. It would be cool to have like the activation in green and deactivation in red or something :D but thank you @tela <3

can you change the color of echo with a command maybe?

10:31

yes you can

10:31

cl_message_client_color

10:32

you could probably change the color before the exec and set it back to your default color after it completes

10:32

but there's no guarantee that it processes in order

That's a great idea, I guess it might work :D I will see if I can do that, thank you buddy :)

that rocks

also i have no idea the format for setting colors via commands, so you'll need to experiment with that (or someone can chime in with the answer)

10:35

but my guess is hex format since it's easiest to type

yeah it works fine

10:36

glad u asked about it cuz i was thinkin bout this today

did you use hex without the leading #

u use the value:

10:36

best way i guess is to change it with the menu to figure out what values you want

oh duh the decimal value

10:42

i dont understand why we can't use a more sane format and just convert it to int internally but now we cant change it cus it would break existing binds (edited)

id be lookin up what hex value a color would be anyway lol

10:43

but ya

i do all my colors with hex

same

10:44

i agree its better

there could be an alternative syntax, detecting for a leading # symbol

10:44

and switching to hex conversion

guys, how do i play my map which is in the editor???

+ its easier for my dumb brain to remember 6 characters instead of just a string of 7 numbers

guys, how do i play my map which is in the editor???

Real

guys, how do i play my map which is in the editor???

start a server, copy rcon from terminal, connect to lan, change_map map_name

geez

you can start a server from the exe directly or in game, but you need access to the terminal window

i just want to test it

i mean, it's a map. it needs a server

bruhh

the client doesn't do anything by itself

i mean, only if the devs made i thing like that. (testing the map directly)

if the devs made something like that, it would still be starting a server on your lan

10:50

you just wouldn't notice

10:50

you can also use trashmap like @tela posted but i prefer running my own server, less of a hassle honestly

10:50

starting the server is 1 click and you have total control

but shouldnt devs be able to make testing a map without hosting it?

There's a little link in that post i linked too on the steamcommunity website with a tutorial on how to run a LAN server, it's a lot easier than it might seem

i dont understand why that is beneficial

cuz more easier

the game logic (hooking, racing) is server-side

10:51

what you're saying doesn't make sense

lynn

the game logic (hooking, racing) is server-side

bruh

did you know that minecraft runs a server, even if you're playing in singleplayer?

10:51

it's nothing new

lynn

did you know that minecraft runs a server, even if you're playing in singleplayer?

i dont think so

10:52

only if u host it as LAN

nope it has all the guts of a normal server. you can test this by running server commands with cheats enabled

just use trashmap

10:53

ez and fast

they're the same to me monkalaugh

monkalaugh

then why is it possible to play mc singleplayer without internet

https://trashmap.ddnet.tw/create_server.php

you dont understand what a server is

10:53

at this point, not worth having the discussion

yes i do weeb

no you do not

10:54

because you said internet connection

hosting needs internet

10:54

the problem here is

hosting for the world sure, but for your LAN? no

u just dont know how to explain properly (edited)

10:55

im done xD

not just that

10:55

fgs

server is just a computer that makes diffirent computing

i love you

lynn

the game logic (hooking, racing) is server-side

why is this a thing??

because then players wouldnt be able to play together?

10:57

it is incredibly expensive from a time perspective to maintain a client implementation of race logic and a separate server implementation of it. what you're asking for is plainly impractical

ok, shouldnt there be hooking/racing in two things, one that is server-side and the other not

client side is much more vulnerable

lynn

it is incredibly expensive from a time perspective to maintain a client implementation of race logic and a separate server implementation of it. what you're asking for is plainly impractical

why?

you expect me to explain what makes certain code more time consuming to write when you think you need internet to run a server lol

10:59

just trust me, it's time consuming

10:59

people don't get paid to contribute to ddnet

10:59

and i think there are a lot of other things that require time more than something like that

@Real just try following the tutorial here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2474013400 if you get stuck you can ask me a question.

Steam Community :: Guide :: How to create your own server (Local/On...

This will be a guide on how you can create your own local/online server to play/test on....

idk why you want to debate this instead of getting your original question answered

I think he doesn't even know what to click to get his server started

1

but i think it will be worth it, cuz the one that is not server-side will always never have issues with ping

we said host or use trashmap

11:00

you dont have issues with ping on LAN...

Cøke

I think he doesn't even know what to click to get his server started

yes i do bumbo

11:00

ik

then why are you here

11:00

go

Ping hahahah

map

It's 0 ping on LAN

run server

but who creates games that only has controls that is managed by server-side

nearly all games

11:00

what

11:01

not controls

movement

controls are client implementation

client side: cheating go br okay?

just read about client-side technology

multiplayer games wont be clients side

Real

movement

movement has to be handled by the server. if clients handled movement, how would different clients know where other tees are

11:02

instead the client sends intent, and the server responds

lynn

movement has to be handled by the server. if clients handled movement, how would different clients know where other tees are

i freaken know that

okay but you just said "who creates games that only has movement that is managed by server-side"

11:03

do you agree or disagree with yourself

i mean theres nothing wrong with making movement thats not server-side

we're just cramming this channel at this point

11:03

and it's 4 am

but u people are just lazy

im not even a dev

Seems like explaining to a 10 year old how to drive a car troll

Image attachment

11:03

??

the fact they're not just mapping right now is astonishing

just make a server and put your map on? what even is the problem here? you will have 0 freaking ping as well xD

@Real i changed 3 lines of code in the website, trust me when i say i am not a dev

Cøke

shush peasant dont have time for ya

peasant? do u know who coke is

a peasant

your attitude won't get you very far in this community

I'm the one who decline your map little dude

idc

troll

xD

Real

idc

if you truly don't care, then don't expect answers to your questions

gosh, u guys depend on attitude

if somebody makes movement handling on client side, u will have twice more lags on every server

11:06

more than twice

you asked a question and then decided to focus on not your question anymore to complain

11:06

i think attitude is a bit important in this context

lynn

you asked a question and then decided to focus on not your question anymore to complain

thats not my fault

i am so going to bed

11:06

lmao

cuz random peasants just came and starting joining this arguement for some dumb no reasoans

idk why you're mad that people are arguing with you because you wont click a server icon

11:07

it seems perfectly reasonable

wow

Don't spend too much time with ur map, u will never get a release on ddnet servers

u talking about things that u don't know

i just asked if u could make a movement thats not server-side and ur answer is cuz devs are lazy

my answer is: it's pointless

Cøke

Don't spend too much time with ur map, u will never get a release on ddnet servers

shush, ur not the mod

and there are OTHER THINGS worth their time

11:08

not this

Mods have nothing to do with ur map

11:08

Xdd

Real

shush, ur not the mod

treat everyone with respect, and i barely matter in this, coke is the one you should worry about

Real

i just asked if u could make a movement thats not server-side and ur answer is cuz devs are lazy

ddnet is community driven.. lynn told you that a couple messages back as well

im an ingame moderator, not a discord mod

tbh its not my fault that im respecting coky, only if he didnt join this arguement

11:09

this wouldnt have happednde

11:09

blame him for doing this

i just fall into that role whenever there's weird stuff like this going on

and why would in be added when a singular idiot complaining about it

AKayra

and why would in be added when a singular idiot complaining about it

fix ur grammer (edited)

nah

but u people are just lazy

lol, imagine being this entitled, yes my lord we the unpaid labour that spent hundreds of hours maintaining the code are being very lazy

I don't really care, but I will remember your name when the first submit comes

"my weak fingers, they do not have the strength to click the server icon"

ur not even doing anything with code right now

"but please, PLEASE add 1000 lines of code for running maps directly in the client"

11:11

im done dude

11:12

i might as well be delusional from not sleeping

11:12

gn

i didnt beg, i just suggested

Last commit 3 hours ago, this man "ur not even doing anything"

Image attachment

calling others lazy = suggesting

Cøke

I don't really care, but I will remember your name when the first submit comes

i had enough of people that dont care

11:13

they're annoying as hell

11:13

please fix ddnet community

please fix your attitude

cuz it should be

lynn

please fix your attitude

ur community first, cuz it lead me to this attitude

Anyway, it's thousands of lines of code that need to be moved around into the client, just to end up with an architecture that I believe is far worse. So no, we won't be adding the server into the client. Too much work for no benefit at all at a time when engineering time is at a premium: handful of devs with not enough time

it did not. i stated facts about the game and you chose to be upset by it. the way i see it, you cannot fundamentally enjoy this game

i enjoy the game, by the community always ruins it

I think you are the one thats being lazy

Image attachment

you'll continue to get frustrated by the game + community, and when you bring that attitude here, it won't be received well

you are trash talking here for 30 mins just because you didnt wanna spent 5 mins hosting a server

(We even have a run server button in the main menu, is that not easy enough?)

since this is entirely RUN by the community, your opinions will not hold water as long as people think you're not arguing for the sake of the game

Real

i enjoy the game, by the community always ruins it

you are runing everything by being rude for no reason. noone will respect you now xd

Deleted User

you are runing everything by being rude for no reason. noone will respect you now xd

i didnt ask u to interfere nor did i ask u to respect me

AKayra

you are trash talking here for 30 mins just because you didnt wanna spent 5 mins hosting a server

it's funny because it actually takes 0 time. no duration from start to finish. click server, done

11:16

LMAO

xD yeah but I rounded up

sure just click server

11:16

nice

Real

i didnt ask u to interfere nor did i ask u to respect me

this is an open chatroom and i can say that i totally disagree with you

"i didnt ask u to interfere nor did i ask u to respect me" ok so you REALIZE that they're NOT respecting for interfering right? so kinda like what you told them to do?

Deleted User

this is an open chatroom and i can say that i totally disagree with you

didnt ask whether u disagree or not

Anyway, enough of this. There is a convenience button in the client, the server launched will automatically add the maps to the votelist. It's easy enough. Moving the server into the client is something we don't want to do. Now let's all stop spamming this channel that is for questions

also you are the one start the attitude thing, it was questionable before this message as well but it started it

Image attachment

as u can see, this mod tries to end the conversation, but lynn doesnt, he/she is just trying to overcome me everytime.

mmm

11:19

thanks leareth2 (edited)

AKayra

also you are the one start the attitude thing, it was questionable before this message as well but it started it

u have nothing to do with this arguement, mind ur business

11:19

and im heading out

11:20

had enough

lynn

start a server, copy rcon from terminal, connect to lan, change_map map_name

explain this in more detail... (edited)

you thank someone else for stopping the conversation and you ping me 10 minutes later

11:32

if you can keep yourself from arguing with me this time i will explain

cuz he tried ending i

11:32

t

11:32

buit u didnt

i said twice i was going to bed

dont start this again

did you start the server?

yes

okay, rcon password?

ye i saw it

f2?

11:33

hmm though learath said it would add to votes so you may not need it

11:33

just call vote then

afk = close server?

11:33

i dont know what ur talking about

11:33

anyways i pressed f2

paste the password

11:34

enter change_map map_name

?

every time you save the map, enter reload

11:34

then it will reload the map with your changes

whats the name

well what did you save it as?

i didnt

11:35

wait

problem #1 lol

i can help you with creaitng a server

11:35

i mean on lan

no, i already blocked u

11:35

lynn, i can change tha name later

11:35

right?

save as yes, or rename manually

11:36

its just the name of the file

ok

11:36

about reloading

11:36

wheres that?

f2 still

button

when you save the map, reload to load the same map with new changes

in the f2 place

11:37

right?

also use super to make yourself immune to freeze / tele

11:37

unsuper to remove it

11:37

useful for testing

ok

Real

in the f2 place

yes

11:38

you can also use commands like totele and totelecp but not needed

11:38

up down left right are also available

11:38

look them up later here if you're interested in them https://ddnet.tw/settingscommands/

alright, thanks

and if you're new to mapping (which, let me know if im wrong) don't worry about mapping design, just focus on the game layer and use entities to play the map

11:40

much faster and you can always add design when it is ready for public testing

yes im new to that, but ive seen the ddnet forum for that (edited)

11:41

so im good

nearly 5 am, i actually have to go to sleep at this point or i won't wake up

11:44

good luck

Hey guys, I've got a question about bindings: when binding with a .cfg file, like for the dummy deep fly toggle you get an echo on the screen saying "Deep Fly On/Off" or whatever. Is it possible to change the color of that echo? i wanna bind the dummy reset on switch with an echo so i know if its active or not and I'd like to have it in another colour to distinguish it from the Deep Fly echo.

okay it's me again, i didnt even start trying to change the color, cause I've got a problem to bind cl_dummy_resetonswitch 0 1 with 2 .cfg files and get an echo. Can someone help me with what to write into the .cfg files? i now have this: reset on.cfg bind r "cl_dummy_resetonswitch 1" echo reset active bind r exec "reset off.cfg"

12:43

and the same with reset off, but 0 as value

12:44

and it seems to activate, i do get an echo, but i cant deactivate it? i get the "reset off" echo, but the dummy still resets

you have to exec the reset off.cfg in the reset on.cfg

in got that

12:45

Image attachment

it should work then

12:46

what does the console say after pressing r?

12:46

oh I see why

12:47

remove the bind r from "cl_dummy..."

12:47

in both files

I'll try that, thx ❤️

12:48

do i need to keep the ""?

no

okay

12:52

nice it works now, ty! i have to switch to dummy once tho when switching from inactive to active, else it will say "reset on" but still hooks between deepfly hammers for example. But i only need to switch to dummy once and not even press anything, switch back and it works

12:52

ty

hi im pretty new to the game

12:58

how do you get skins on your character?

@DeeTwoo https://ddnet.tw/skins/ pick a skin here, then just type its name in Settings -> Tee

how? we tried a whole bunch of thing but none worked, (2 people came by and we all cheated it xD)

14:15

dummy drag from top hookable to here

14:50

Image attachment

14:50

oh wait that was a long time ago

14:50

but then u just put one guy up and guy who is hooking goes up and bumps the other

Thats.. it? I thought abput that but never tried because I didnt think it wpuld work

14:55

We tried hammering the one in freze while coming up (holding a and space)

14:55

We tried hammering back the other when the one hooked one hammers

14:56

We tried jumping on top of the hooked one and holding left xD

Where can i download new entity skins?

Is there a command in F2 where you can fly through walls because super only makes you unfreezable
