i make it in 50x50 (edited)

Note?

you've got some unneeded tiles (are stoppers needed?) but its not a bad move

18:53

its a pretty common setup, but it's a solid one nonetheless (edited)

Stopper* are necessary, otherwise the tee won't fit exactly, so you'll need several attempts to fit it there (edited)

I was more interested in the background, but thanks for the tips

Guys, do you think that this part is annoying? 2 guys already mentioned that I should change it.

light blue = tele

these are seen in old maps, and are rather annoying to manage having it once is generally fine, but you also want a map to have flow

ah okay... then i'll think about sth else

Why can't people map parts like this anymore? They're fun :(

idk for me it's easy but maybe some people will have problems with it

I think requiring every map to have 5689450345893 tiles of space and have room for 6949584 tees is a curse to the game

idk for me it's easy but maybe some people will have problems with it

They only care about the map having space for other tees to do parts, this part would be seen as a bottleneck

Skeith

They only care about the map having space for other tees to do parts, this part would be seen as a bottleneck

so it could be that people can go further because of others?

The problem is, the part doesn't have much space to it, only one can realistically do it at a time, so when a bunch of people are playing the map at once, they won't realistically be able to do this part, since people would be in each others way

ok... then i'll change it

I think they're fine parts for a moderate 1-2 star map, but the testing process is somewhat strict about parts that have limited space

it's actually not about space at all, 2p parts should be releaseable no matter the "can we fit 20 people in there" philosophy it's just rather annoying to play, while not really difficult. in my personal opinion, i see this as a rather annoying filler

@meloƞ @Skeith i changed it. This should be much better

Shrug, I think it's good old style gameplay, but test team hates anything that's basic, so my feedback is useless. The ending of it could be made a little better I guess, maybe rather than simply dropping them wall after the first 1-2 hooks, you should add another obstacle (edited)

Make the first platform two blocks high.

my problem ist that i dont have that much space there because it's inbetween parts (edited)

21:55

and i'm really uncreative

Something like that ya, unfortunately if you're wanting to have your map released on DDNet, you're gonna have to try your best to be creative

22:14

Maybe you'll have to rework / move around some parts, or change up the gameplay for that spot, maybe add something that involves teamwork, try looking at other maps for inspiration

@Skeith ok i changed the part again

23:26

Btw what do i have to do when i want to have my map released?

https://discord.com/channels/252358080522747904/1201860080463511612

Do i have to submit first? And how do i know which type it is?

Read the entire channel https://ddnet.org/rules/

I already did

Skeith

And what about moderate maps? They are missing

23:33

Only special cases are listed, I guess

23:35

The important things to note are at the top under "Gameplay general rules"

23:35

If you're wanting to create a moderate map

23:35

If your map doesn't follow these rules, you'll have to rework your map

Yes they should be fine

The other worry you should have is "is my map unique and creative enough?" since it'll probably get declined rather quickly if not

23:37

If you're confident about your map, feel free to submit it https://discord.com/channels/252358080522747904/1201860080463511612/1246863269193453789

This idk. I guess so but as i already mentioned i'm uncreative af (edited)

When it's declined, can i submit it again when i changed it? (edited)

I'm not a tester, nor a mapper, so I don't know the entire process, but I'd imagine yes, if your map seems to have serious effort put into it. Up to the tester's discretion I suppose

The only thing i'm really not sure about is the color. Idk if it's maybe too dark

If they think your map has a good enough foundation, they'll most likely give feedback on the map about specific parts that could/should be changed

23:42

I'd imagine they'd give feedback on that as well. (colors) (edited)

23:43

If your map isn't creative enough, they'll most likely very quickly decline your map
