i say this for the sake of every new player who might have their first impression of ddrace maps ruined by loading into a skillz map. the skillz maps do not reflect at all the quality level of maps in the current era and are confusing, garbage, and unfun for new players to play. they really do not fit in the novice map pool, but rather oldschool. clearly other people recognize this, as these maps and a few others are in an "old" category separate from the rest of the novice maps on the call vote screen. in my opinion the skillz maps along with all the other map in the "old" section should just be moved to the oldschool map pool like the koule maps were.

A tune zone is a non-interactive tile entity that changes the physics or other basic behavements in a specified zone. There are 45 tunes that can be applied
@Tester Hello, @PoKeMoN [TD]🌈 and @Chill [TD] and I have a fairly large archive of maps, the list of which includes a huge number of old school maps that were released back in 2008-2012, yesterday and today we selected a couple that are not available on ddnet servers. Therefore, we would like to know if we can put them out for testing with a further release, or maybe this maps was already tested and for some reason diclined the release idea, so we would like to know from you in advance. Here a list with some maps which we would like to load to test: 1. mo_xenon_1
2. mo_factory
3. gores_1
4. gores_2
5. ddpika_1
6. ddpika_2
7. warch_hard_2
8. warch_afk
--shrink-tiles-layers: scales down all tiles layers to remove any obselete air/other tiles from the border
you can use such options by doing e.g.$edit --remove-everything-unused --shrink-tiles-layers with any amount of options. (if you would use the command line tool, you would do nearly the same,twmap-edit --remove-everything-unused --rotate path-to-input-map path-to-output-map)
$optimize is only a shortcut to do $edit --remove-everything-unused --shrink-tiles-layers

to list all available options, you can do $edit --help in any testing channel (the output is a bit big so maybe do that in #🎉caterpillar3)
15:28
if you have any ideas on which further optimizations the bot should/shouldn't do, please write me them :)

I'm hoping that we can automate certain tedious tasks that mappers/testers do

the algorithm behind --shrink-tiles-layers is: in all 4 directions, detect how many rows are duplicates at the border. then, remove those duplicates, but leave at least a 2x2 tilemap, shrinking the right and bottom border is prioritized(edited)
