DDraceNetwork - mapping

zhn

it reloads the same map entirely from the disk, why should it not clear its history?

ye i know, just sad(

Bro working overtime for that tester role

nah im not becoming one

even if someone offers me the position

i know it was a joke but please keep in mind that testing doesn't mean looking for graphic bugs, that's a part of it, but gameplay is much more important

Hello I just started mapping today, I know this is a big objective for a first map but is it possible to get my map published even if I use the premade tiles only? If you don't understand my question, I can clarify (edited)

yes, you can make pretty nice stuff using only the tiles that came with the game

Cammodude

yes, you can make pretty nice stuff using only the tiles that came with the game

alr, I was aiming for something a bit similar to stronghold and easier (moderate) but without copying the map

its pretty unlikely that a first map would get accepted, and if it didnt get declined right away most maps have a lot of adjustments/testing done after they submit

17:59

but if you dont care about getting declined you can try anyway

the point is you dont have to learn how to make tilesets for a map to get released

I see

18:00

Well I will work on that map and once it's finished, I will probably post it in #📬submit-maps

you know freeze isnt premade?

Balami

you know freeze isnt premade?

I mean premade like "generic_unhookable"

design ahh lol

Balami

you know freeze isnt premade?

grass_main:

Balami

design ahh lol

won't be the best looking map but I'll try to get good gameplay

You can't get map released if you only have good gameplay, design is also a very important factor in map releasing (edited)

yeah im not going to make it ugly, im just not going to make it insanely good looking

If you aim for stronghold design it will not be released i'm pretty sure, it's very outdated

imo greenade is the best looking map that only uses premade tiles

I will keep that idea for now and if I have a better idea, I'll do it

@tortilla I was wondering if you could help me to port foward, 2 people told me that you could help me. (please)

i can if u want

Canarda

@tortilla I was wondering if you could help me to port foward, 2 people told me that you could help me. (please)

what isp do u have

Ewan

i can if u want

alr thanks

Ewan

what isp do u have

bell

20:49

(in canada)

ahh

20:50

did u already try online guides

well I created a NAT port forward thing, im not good at these things at all (edited)

idk if u know vonick (fellow canadian and bell customer) but we tried and i think (tl;dr) he couldn't bcs bell uses a CGNAT

I don't know what this is but is there an alternative?

sort of

20:52

you can use trashmap (only in GER atm; @timakro do u know if it's easy to add to USA?)

20:53

or an AWS free trial or something... or have someone host it for u

i think ddnet was hosting some trashmaps at some point

what are trash maps?

yea, i think they're only doing it in germany atm

that one is used by yours truly :P

20:53

hosted*

awesome

i could probably help you to set it up https://github.com/timakro/ddnet-trashmap

GitHub - timakro/ddnet-trashmap: DDNet Trashmap is a service for ma...

DDNet Trashmap is a service for mappers who can't host their own servers - timakro/ddnet-trashmap

would it make it laggy

20:54

using a "trashmap"

tl;dr trashmap lets u upload a map and play it on an already functional server

By doing that, I am sharing my ip with timakro?

but the only such server that is online atm is in germany, so it would play like shit

Canarda

By doing that, I am sharing my ip with timakro?

technically yea

20:56

but you'd be sharing your ip with anyone by port fwding...

i mean by playing on ddnet servers any mod can see ur ip anyway no

Ewan

but you'd be sharing your ip with anyone by port fwding...

ok then I will invite only trusted people ig (edited)

but i dont think u can host at home

timakro

i could probably help you to set it up https://github.com/timakro/ddnet-trashmap

i'm interested

Canarda

ok then I will invite only trusted people ig (edited)

trashmap srv is visible to anyone

that would be leaking my ip to everyone

no, bcs you're not hosting the server

20:58

you just provide the map

20:59

timakro can see it because he administrates that server

20:59

but nobody else can

okay well if it's only him, I don't mind too much

not like he'd do anything with it

21:00

there are far more suspect ddnet mods

21:00

who can see ur ip in any ddnet srv u play on

21:00

so i wouldn't worry

or mods/admins of any other server uve joined like kog

in that case, @timakro, how can I use your trashmap

instructions on the web page https://trashmap.ddnet.org/

21:02

you'll have considerable ping tho

ger ping?

21:02

for me it's 100

yea

I play in ger sometimes, so I'm ok with that

great

as long as I can play with some friends to try my map

trashmap is very laggy recently

if it's on the same srvs as unique ger, i suspect it's because of unique race's laggy laggy ranks db

DDNet Trashmap is a service for mappers who can't host their own servers - timakro/ddnet-trashmap

21:04

let's say I wanna update my map

21:06

do I make a new one

21:06

a new server*

on trashmap? you can just reupload

oh ok

Balami

on trashmap? you can just reupload

infinitely?

i would never say infinitely but yes many times

Balami

i would never say infinitely but yes many times

so I created a server, now I just join like usual and it should be joinable by others?

ya

alr

@Robyt3 may wanna add trashmap IPs to the list so they show up as ddnet in the browser

2 people are in my server

Balami

trashmap is very laggy recently

yeah it's not great..

Canarda

2 people are in my server

me and me

but idk how to join myself

Ewan

me and me

really?

21:15

how did you join

just look it up

Canarda

so I created a server, now I just join like usual and it should be joinable by others?

there is a bug, if you can't join try joining via ip

21:16

Ewan

21:20

UDP seems to be filtred (edited)

21:20

that's what it says

connect to 88.198.184.126:8577

88.198.184.126:8577 is not a DDraceNetwork or Community server.
