@Ninecloud ddmax category is for maps which were released on DDracemaX server when it existed oldschool is for the rest older maps (let's say maps that were released between 2009-2014 ? don't know whats exacly the limit) so if its a new map then it can be only but only released on novice/moderate/brutal/insane (depends on difficulty level) (edited)

I wrote 2009 because I have no idea when rly ddrace mod started to exist =] maybe it was 2008 ^^

there's not really a limit for oldschool, it's more a matter of style as well

interesting idea, but I might think of how to implement other weapons or mechanics into it

also maybe using live freeze/ live unfreeze could be a way to make things more interesting

eh, maybe as a nut short race
16:40
but you can just solo it
Avatar
i'm too lazy and beginner to make a map out of that idea you could prevent solo with bounces set to 0 also other weapons would be nice yeah thanks for the feedback xD i'll have to look up nut short race, have heard of it before, but not played

nut short races are like 2 second maps by nut clan (edited)

Rotate should be 3 star, working out the best option is a skill low moderate players will struggle with. And there's 1 stage that is moderate 3+ no matter which option you choose.
21:30
Though I guess most 2-3 star moderate maps are messily rated anyways. I wouldn't die to every other moderate 2 star though.
21:30
The length of the map probably shouldn't affect the rating of it

wtf are you doing here
21:46
This is the easiest option, but it's also the hardest to figure out, the toss is very awkward. Or the 2 star moderate players can just aled it troll

They'll feel forced to take the other options which are all higher moderate faily parts

is this about rating the rotate featured map?
Avatar
Cellegen | HU 2022-04-23 21:47:45Z
what rating is it on currently?
Avatar
Cellegen | HU 2022-04-23 21:47:57Z
Mod 2 star.

Cellegen | HU 2022-04-23 21:48:26Z
Parts are looking fairly easy, taking it slow may cause you time, but makes the gameplay decent.
Avatar
If you know exactly what you're doing, it's definitely 2 star, but it has the feel of a 3 star moderate at the very least when you're new to it
21:48
Which is what it should be rated for
Avatar
Cellegen | HU 2022-04-23 21:49:18Z
Has some basic mechanics, such as fly, hammer throw, or both simultaniously. No aled, no pseudo fly, no speedfly and no kinta fly needed mostly, which has preferations for brutal and above difficulty
21:49
Faily parts yes, but not in a way, where one single move makes you fail the map. It has saving potential
Avatar
part 6 doesnt unless u do the throw
Avatar
Cellegen | HU 2022-04-23 21:50:31Z
I would say moderate 2 doesn't sound bad, as long as the map won't exceed over 5-10 minutes of gameplay in avarage.
Avatar
Ya, part 6 is the fail part of the map, no save potential, 1 and done
Avatar
Cellegen | HU 2022-04-23 21:50:49Z
And considering, that most people would do it first try.
Avatar
Idk, I died around 10 times to this map. The ability to choose your own map makes it very complicated to rate
21:52
I wouldn't die to any other moderate 2 star
Avatar
Cellegen | HU 2022-04-23 21:52:41Z
So, you can choose your own parts there, depending on which rotation you get?
21:53
10 stages, 4 options each stage
21:53
Some are impossible
Avatar
Cellegen | HU 2022-04-23 21:53:25Z
It would be easy for people to assume, that it's just giving people advantage, but imagining people, who haven't caught up in practising parts, they would just choose a random part and that's it
21:54
But for some cases, if the parts are doable, or if some parts are literally not possible intentionally and has a 'go back' teleport, then it's all fine
Avatar
Working out the best option for given parts is a skill, and the rating should take that into account
Avatar
Cellegen | HU 2022-04-23 21:55:34Z
If at least 35% or more parts (1/3 in that meaning) has faily parts, which wasn't meant to be passed, then I would request a rework, instead of a different rating, duo to unbalance between parts.
21:56
It that's not the case, and those parts aren't appearing in the end of the map, I would let it pass with 2*
21:57
All my assumption

@Skeith Isn't it easier to just tower against the wall ?
Avatar
It's still extremely faily for a 2 star moderate
