block server + russians is definitely one of the combinations ever.

What is the deep fly bind?

What is the deep fly bind?

https://wiki.ddnet.org/wiki/Binds#Deep_Fly

DDNet client has a multitude of commands and settings that can be bound to nearly any key or mouse button. You can enter commands into the console, which by default is accessed by pressing F1.

Help please.I'm doing a bind. With the "b" button, a command was entered into the console (1 line in a notepad) and "On" or "Off" was entered in the chat. When you press the "b" button again, another command was entered and the chat was respectively "Off" or "On". But I do have a problem.

file extension missing from exec line

17:51

check if your files are .txt or .cfg

17:52

then add them to the name of the file. for example: bind b exec "ResetonSwitchOff.cfg"

Omg... Thank you. Such a stupid mistake...

au wow, since when?

it now respects your current skill level

21:34

but honestly was it not insane before?

21:34

cant even remember

no. 5 stars brutal

ah ok

and honestly still seems like aincrad to me. and as far as I know it's still 5 stars brutal

21:35

anyways was just curious

yeah i dunno the exact criteria for the slight edge between brutal 5 star and insane 1 star. but i guess many maps can be considered badly rated

yeah idk either. I just know that some players were against this change. seems fine to me tho

Why the 29th tile of the entities overlay is empty ? And does all the tiles of the entities overlay have a official name ? They have a different name in the editor and on ddnet.org/explain/

Why the 29th tile of the entities overlay is empty ? And does all the tiles of the entities overlay have a official name ? They have a different name in the editor and on ddnet.org/explain/

1. i think in ddrace (the one before ddnet) it was used 2. not really

1

21:45

also it seems its still used in the speedup layer

21:45

tho the speedup layer is kinda special as it is rendered as arrow which can rotate in the client

21:46

so its not part of the tile layer directly

Doesn't every tiles are in the entities overlay ?

lomi

Doesn't every tiles are in the entities overlay ?

well all except this and also there is a collision somewhere else

21:48

TILE_BOOST

21:48

index 28

21:48

ah that is the one u meant btw ^^

21:48

TILE_SWITCHTIMEDOPEN

21:48

this is the collision one

21:48

22

21:48

switch layer

21:48

its remapped as index 8

28 is empty but 22 and 8 are not

yes but in editor switch layer will show a different tile for index 22

21:50

so its remapped as index 8 later in the entities

21:50

28 is empty for above reasons

21:50

its an arrow and not used directly with the entities

21:51

reason is simply: tiles can only rotate in 90° steps arrows can rotate in any rotation

21:51

so its easier to handle this case extra

This is understandable but it seems less easy than I expected, I think I'll need to do some research

what are you trying to achieve?

Create a map

21:57

I found what I wanted on ddnet.org, now I just need to understand all those little letters in my screen

21:58

I want to try to create a program that could create map automatically

^^ speedups: force max speed switch: switch number delay

What does it mean ?

mhh i guess just map a small map in editor and test it out

22:03

easier than explaining

22:03

switches have "switches" and can toggle stuff with same number for example

22:04

speedups make u faster until max speed is reachd

22:04

switch delay has multiple functions i guess wait until deactivate and probably also activate? but i am also not ddrace mapper

22:04

so guess its easier to test

22:04

or ask in #mapping

And why are you telling me some information about switches ? I don't understand

for activate its the time its open, but for deactivate not sure rn xD

lomi

?

22:05

i explained the small numbers

22:05

or what were u talking about

22:06

or do u mean debug menu?

:0

this?=

Well, I was talking about all this page ddnet.org/docs/libtw2/map/

and which small letters?

All those letters are swall on my screen

i cannot really follow you, what letters are small on the website? in the client?

I'm really talking about the text on the page because I'm a little dumb and it's a little bit hard to understand how map file works

ok so you struggle to implement a map file reader?

Maybe my English caused your misunderstanding or maybe just me idk

22:12

Yes that's it

22:13

But not really a reader but a wroter

i dunno if you are good with the ddnet source code and c++, but ddnet ships tools to convert 0.6 to 0.7 maps, which basically just resaves a map u could set a breakpoint and watch it step by step to get a better understanding (edited)

Well, I'm using python

22:15

So you know what it means

patiga implemented python bindings

22:15

https://gitlab.com/Patiga/twmap-py/-/tree/master

Files · master · Patiga / twmap-py · GitLab

Python bindings for the crate twmap

22:15

but i never used it

22:16

but that's probs easy to use

I thought it was rust

u can simply install it with pip install twmap (edited)

22:16

under the hood yes

22:16

but it has bindings for python

22:16

so u can also call it from python

22:16

https://gitlab.com/Patiga/twmap-py/-/blob/master/scripts/client-uptime.py

scripts/client-uptime.py · master · Patiga / twmap-py · GitLab

Python bindings for the crate twmap

22:16

looks easy to use

For you

let me rephrase: its easier to use than implement your own writing logic xD

I guess you're right

Jupstar ✪

TILE_SWITCHTIMEDOPEN

Where did you take those names ?

c++ source

Ok I found them

22:27

Thank you for your help :)
