DDraceNetwork - mapping

@Patiga is there some way in twmap to return the name / state of a tile given the tile numpy data somehow

09:21

+ the layer it is from

no, there is no such functionality right now

maybe i write a function but i only know python

hey everyone! may i ask how do i make the quad move with you, a little bit slower?

more parallax

hey everyone! may i ask how do i make the quad move with you, a little bit slower?

A short guide on parallax: para x/y 100 is used to indicate collision tiles. e.g. if you use grass_main for hookables, they have para x and y on 100 para x/y 0 can be used for quads in the far background, like the sun or the big quad behind everything if you want to put something rather in the midground, like bushes, which are supposed to be behind the tee, they should have around para x/y 80 if you want to put something like stars, they shouldn't move alot, so they should have para x/y inbetween 1-5 (it's not that logic to put 5, but it can create a nice visual effect)

ok imma try

and 100+ should be infront of the player

yeah there is more stuff you can do with parallax

didn't want to go too deep

tex u and tex v or something

thats texture

wheres that parallax thing

para

11:54

you need to right click on the group to access the para x and y

oh, so if i want to move one quad with a player, i need 2 seperate groups?

yes

ok, ill create a new group then ;D

11:58

if i put mountains from the group before into another group, the quad dissapears

11:58

same for other quads

try dragging the value instead of setting it and see what happens

oh...

12:00

i see, parallax gone too far xD

12:00

fixed it tho

12:01

ok now i need to extend it

i scaled the image, and now it looks kinda ugly on some places. would it work if i used an image upscaler?

just find a better quad

12:12

or i guess u can use an ai image upscaler. not sure how well it would work on the cartoony teeworlds graphics tho

higher resolution = larger filesize, keep it as low as possible

12:32

and unless youre really zoomed in or the image is really large, you wont notice it

Low as possible? So you mean that because of some people using bad devices? Or would it crash the game?

because you wouldnt wanna stare at a loading screen for minutes

13:57

some servers download maps really slowly

13:57

and because downloaded maps add up over the years

well, i did try upscaling it, but it wont work anyway, i dont know why

14:26

the game says, that it cannot load the upscaled image (image name)

it will not load if it was converted to jpg
