DDraceNetwork - general

i love this month in ddnet

01:03

active server every night when i finish work

01:03

thank u ddnet staff

once again

01:50

i'm fucking pissed

01:50

because someone changed a map while i was playing

01:50

and i had no time to write /save

01:50

and once again i'm gonna ask for autosave

Alexander

because someone changed a map while i was playing

did you votekick them

No, I left the server

you should have votekicked them

02:00

to assert dominance

I just asked "couldn't you tell us to save first" and they said "xd"

02:01

I see the sarcasm but kicking them wouldnt solve anything

i mean

02:01

it rly sucks ur run was kind of thrown off like that

02:01

i know how it feels (edited)

slaps knees welp, it is what it is

i love that visual description you gave of the knee slapping

are... are the entire rest of the advent maps going to be brutals like this? ._.

03:29

been here 4.5 hours and have not a single person cross the line on the entire server (and there have been people running the whole time)

03:30

NA moment

its a variation of maps. most maps are harder difficulty in this months releases. unfortunately DDNet seems to be pushing harder maps for release, since forever actually. Novice and lower moderate seem to be completely uninteresting for the testers. I'd love to see a long novice map or very long easy moderate map. Testers don't seem to remember how full servers get with big t0 easy maps.

i dont think they realize either the impact of how being unable to do one day of the advent discourages people from caring about it at all afterwards, which leads to less people trying and then that makes it harder for people who do want to do the event because nobody around cares anymore that's what it has felt like to me, anyway

maybe @Cøke will make a new amazing multimap release for the event, so the novice can be happy

we already had multimap in advent, pls no

but multimap is the best map because it has a lot of finishes

i dont understand why people are obsessed with it tbh

03:42

faily for noobs i guess? being able to be huge trolls and then get banned? idk

ddnet needs to realize that there is a middle point between releasing hardcore maps and supporting multieasymap (edited)

Alexander

and i had no time to write /save

I had the same situation one time, I have a bind to save since feelsbadman

Me with 6 hours of free time today: well... shit

ds273

NA moment

Wait... Na has actual players?

07:39

Dang

Gazebr

Me with 6 hours of free time today: well... shit

overcome the skill issue

why defaultyoda gone again ? feelsbadman

Alexander

I just asked "couldn't you tell us to save first" and they said "xd"

Classical reaction of someone who know that they did a bad thing, but also was too lazy to explain the fact that 1. they didn't check who's running (or doesn't care) 2.they want to play with the same people without the need of changing servers

overcome the skill issue

More like overcome playing in t0 justatest

Novice and lower moderate seem to be completely uninteresting for the testers. I'd love to see a long novice map or very long easy moderate map. Testers don't seem to remember how full servers get with big t0 easy maps.

I think an issue with new moderates and novices is that they don't have that much room for variation

10:36

You could argue that's the same with new hh maps being identical, but because moderate and novice naps have to be easier, I don't see alot of room for innovation without making things too difficult

10:36

This doesn't mean that it's impossible to make new and interesting novice and moderate maps, but they are a lot harder to make fit into the difficulty that they should be without being too generic

10:38

Higher difficulty just allows for a bit more freedom and fun for mapping, allowing for more interesting parts that wouldn't otherwise be possible in novice or mod because of the difficulty it requires no?

But yet the difficulty rating of recent maps seems a little high no (not that it matters one bit actually) ? Rating in itself is hard to establish without a set of cleared rules as to how it is rated. Game being team based with teams ranging from 2 to 60 players, maps are probably graded based on locked 2 players team. I feel T0 team is more powerful for the average tee, and is not concerned by the original grade of the map. Otherwise I agree higher difficulty allows for more freedom, because by design you can find every possible puzzle/move in there, whereas novice is limited to novice movements

We rate the maps on multiple factors : length, dangerousness, skills required, and also based on the minimum team size needed to complete the maps (edited)

I heard that there's a plan to re-rate all ddmax maps..is there a plan for the novice/moderates aswell?

I wanted to re-rate all the maps with the arrival of season 2 but it won't happen for now. It's very ambitious and the difficulty/rating is ever changing as the average skill raises (edited)

11:24

What was brutal 5 years ago is now moderate (edited)

Rerates can happen independent of seasons

make stronghold moderate

If that's something that it will be done in the future, I would suggest to focus on the novice maps first, since it's where new players start playing the game (It's discouraging to struggle with low rated faily maps). The average skill raises, but a new player in front of the game will always be a new player

why defaultyoda gone again ? feelsbadman

It's still in game, isnt gone I think u dont have it downloaded locally, so if no one in server doesnt have the skin, maybe u cant pick it in the skin browser, but if u write manually defatulYoda in the skin name u will get it C:

Oh that's good to know. Should the maps being team-lock, I guess the rating would have a more impactful meaning. Obviously skill inflation is hitting niche game with people getting better and better

Rerates can happen independent of seasons

last part of bootcamp #1 is insane 5* pls rerate

15:50

some physics must have changed

15:50

i watched multiple people give up on it today

you're not the first to say this, and i recall trying the part quite recently and struggling to do it

15:56

however, people still manage to ifnish it though

15:56

i wonder if it could be linked to very old double grenade explosion bug

n0b0

last part of bootcamp #1 is insane 5* pls rerate

@Tester maybe someone can take a look and change the part to fix it?

can you set up a server with double grenade explosion bug just like binary?

16:04

or maybe the jump timing is just tricky

16:07

cant get over 6...

16:10

lel, not holding but shooting manually i go twice as far

Sure, just run mapbug grenade-doubleexplosion@ddnet.tw on the server

well, im probably too noob for the part too

16:42

looks like the jump timing must be like tick perfect

Last time I was wondering if it was bcs of the new rocket timing deen

16:45

I remember it was working when u were holding shot back then

i remember that too, i think you didn't even need to jump to make it easier

Ye

Cireme

Last time I was wondering if it was bcs of the new rocket timing deen

wut? what new timing?

bootcamp is 5 star insane now

16:49

cool

I heard delay between 2 rockets is a bit faster since some time now

16:50

Thats why maps like fireball got faster ranks lately

Cireme

Last time I was wondering if it was bcs of the new rocket timing deen

rocket timing sounds like what @Patiga implemented. So I think we should make the part easier

@Zwelf I think

Oops, right

а рус есть?

why was grenade timing changed?

To make it easier to predict I think

How do I make the dummy move as same as me?

hi my mouse cursor is moving screen how do i fix it

I think like this, go to settings go to graphics and then fullscreen

19:35

what problem

Your zoomed out Press the + key on numpad

thanks

19:49

How can we make the mouse cursor smaller?

The crosshair? Or the cursor from the server browser?

ddnet

That has to be done with the game.png file itself

how do you do this part in solo map Shortgun?

you'll need some experience using photoshop/gimp/some kind of graphics software that can edit PNGs. Copy game.png from the ddnet folder where the .exe is, to %APPDATA%\ddnet\assets\game\, or %APPDATA%\teeworlds\assets\game if that's what you have, open up the game.png from the %APPDATA% folder, and manually resize each of the crosshairs to the size you want. Each weapon has it's own crosshair next to it. Once you've made a change, choose the right image from the in-game settings in "assets -> game", and click the refresh button in the corner

(if you don't know how to use any graphics software, let me know and i'll resize them for you)

@Malo eyyy
