DDraceNetwork - announcements

It's been a while since we last ran a tournament. Let's fix that with our December 2024 tournament!

What are the rules? We will be releasing secretly tested maps randomly over the month. You will be able to earn points by:

Finishing maps: 10 points for finishing each map
Ranking into top 10 of one or several maps by the end of the event, ranging from 10 points to 1 point per map depending on your rank How long will it last?

Event starts on Wednesday, December 4, 2024 at 6:00 PM with the first map release and ends on Monday, December 30, 2024 at 6:00 PM! How to participate? Just join any of our server and vote any of the map release through December within the "NEW MAP" subcategory. You can stay tuned with the rankings. Thanks a lot to @snail for organizing (and writing this announcement), @Welf for organizing and testing, @Knuski, @catseyenebulous, @J$ON, @Welshi, @meloƞ for testing, and to every mapper contributing to the event!

DDNet 18.8 is supposed to release in a week, assuming no bad bugs are found. Please test the Release Candidate to prevent problems being only discovered after release. Report bugs in the bugs channel or directly on GitHub Windows 64bit, Windows ARM, Windows 32bit, Linux x86, Linux x86-64, macOS (arm64 & x86-64), Android You can also test the release candidate in Steam by clicking on Settings -> Properties -> Betas and opting into the Release Candidates. This will automatically update you to a new release candidate when it is available, and to the next release when no new candidate is available. So you can always leave this setting enabled to help us test new releases earlier. See GitHub for included changes, ideally test their behavior specifically. The highlights are:

[Client] Android support [Robyt3]
[Client] Add cl_hook_coll_size_other & +hookcoll button in UI [SollyBunny]
[Client] Overhaul console design: replace background, improve contrast [Robyt3]
