DDraceNetwork - mapping

God thank autosave i wanna kiss the person who invented it. 2hours would be wasted otherwise

save often

how do i attach an automapper rule to a specific tileset?, i thought it's just the name having to match but meh

ive got no idea how automappers work but you can try to use this and then compare your file to the one it generated

basically name having to match the tileset

the tileset and the .rules file share the same name, that's why im wondering why it doesn't work kek

rules should be in ddnet\data\editor\automap named <tileset name>.rules (edited)

if you did this correctly try to restart the game

i hate windows so damn much

19:23

the problem was that it was called <tilesetname>.rules{.rules}

rookie mistake trollet

(edited)

fixed, thanks for the help kek

if anybody is using this project and has questions, feel free to ask and ping me ^^

why isnt show filename extension enabled by default xd

does anyone have a map with lots of quads that slice into the mapres? I want to test my tool that removes parts of mapres that are unused (also by quads)

redline katana, kingsleap, drawguess are the only ones i can think of rn all in testing

thx!

maybe also the default test server maps with those spinning rainbow balls or fading terrain

@testers should this tool be simply included in $optimize? I heard from mappers that they are supposed to remove unused parts of mapres themselves, so I wrote a tool to do it automatically. My only concern would be that it will remove the credits from mapres. However that seems to be fine according to the people I talked to & the official ddnet tool to optimize maps also does that

credits is a big concern cause there will be no reason in crediting mapres

Would be the best tool ever.

well they are typically not distributed via maps (is the argument). on websites/forums/whereever, their credits would still be intact

that is the reason why I held off on implementing it like 3 years ago, but since I heard mappers are supposed to do it manually, I want to provide a tool for it :)

it doesn't even take that long in the first place

I wouldn't call it trivial, and anything that could take people's time and could be automated, I wanna automate if I got the time for that ^^

(also it was a neat programming challenge ^^)

to add to this point, the version before $optimize has the original mapres whihc can be extracted if someone else wants to use a tileset

21:10

which is archived in testlogs for every map that went through public testing

21:12

you could exclude the bottom of the mapres to preserve credits but its not perfect

stop using it
