DDraceNetwork - mapping

i tried to map in ddnet-rs but im too dumb to use it

16:40

the interface looked nice but thats about as far as i got

i tried to map in ddnet-rs but im too dumb to use it

It’s the exact same as in the DDNet editor?

i couldnt figure out envelopes and quads

17:00

and when i closed the client it refused to reopen

I haven’t looked at envelopes yet but you don’t really need to if you just want to map with someone.

i wasnt interested in the multiplayer mapping

17:10

but the new interface

Oh okay. Do you think the things that you figured out are better than in the ddnet client?

groups were pretty cool and i liked that popups didnt dissapear after clicking somewhere else

envelopes are indeed very different. i tried to make it more like in blender

19:36

where u have key frames and insert the current quad state as animation state

Cammodude

they did not? xd

19:37

totally not a bug

i have absolutely no idea how blender works

well just imagine it like that: instead of moving the envelope points around, u simply move your quad to the position you want. insert a key frame, then move it around again, insert a new keyframe etc.

19:39

but tbf, i never really tested that feature either.. the whole editor was really mostly written without much testing xD

19:43

mh the anim time is also broken, guess i have to test it a bit and fix stuff

great opportunity to make sync do some cool stuff

19:47

tl;dr sync was syncing you with start now it syncs anims between players

ah but that is a code change, not related to the editor

i never figured out how to add a keyframe

Cammodude

i never figured out how to add a keyframe

yeah i'd have thought i same as blender, but doesnt seem to work

19:51

I'll try to fix all these things

btw this is the error i get when trying to run

19:52

and i had to compile it myself since the download didnt work

Cammodude

btw this is the error i get when trying to run

as it says

19:54

u are missing a data dir

no i dont ?

do ls -l

19:55

ah did you do git submodule update

19:55

i changed the data dir today

no ?

19:55

i just followed the instructions and downloaded enough things for it to compile

well just do ls -l

19:56

is there a data dir?

the do ls -l data

19:56

is there any file in it?

plenty

Cammodude

btw this is the error i get when trying to run

what do you run here? doesnt look like cargo run

19:57

is that a downloaded binary?

oh thats how you run things ?

what did u do xd

./

i use cargo run --release for rust projects

Cammodude

./

but in which folder?

19:57

in the target dir?

yeah

but is there a data dir in the target dir?

19:58

u must run it from the project root

19:58

./target/release/ddnet-rs

19:58

will probs work

Jupstar ✪

i use cargo run --release for rust projects

i did that and it worked

20:00

how do i delete quads again

Cammodude

how do i delete quads again

i guess that is currently only possible with an undo

20:02

seems like the quad selection tool allows to add key points with i

20:02

but it's defs buggy, since i can't move the quad xd

and you might wanna add an option to toggle zoom

Cammodude

and you might wanna add an option to toggle zoom

what does that mean?

20:03

reset?

20:04

idk exactly what it does but if its on all the time you cant edit large quads

Cammodude

idk exactly what it does but if its on all the time you cant edit large quads

basically shows how it will look like in game

20:05

and yeah it's essential function when making bg especially

♂S1mple♂

and yeah it's essential function when making bg especially

why that? the editor is parallax aware

Jupstar ✪

why that? the editor is parallax aware

moving things with no zoom is much more easier plus you see whole thing even that is out of bound

20:07

when you want to check what player will see you do zoom

Cammodude

idk exactly what it does but if its on all the time you cant edit large quads

mh ok

and it's convenient to use when you do tiles/etc. to not harm eyes

and i dont get why the physics window is so huge when you can only use 6 layers

i made the editor in 800x600. sounds stupid but that's the simple reason xd

20:09

i never seen it in fullscreen before

oh

but can we please collect all these things

20:09

bcs else i forget them xD

this is a big issue

20:10

editor disregards everything you did when you close it

that is on the list already

also when i started this editor those images threw me off guard

20:10

it's kinda hard to read and i don't understand point

♂S1mple♂

also when i started this editor those images threw me off guard

what images?

20:12

the icons?

the icons

20:12

too much going on

it's to identify quad, tile & sound layers

idk i think it could've been made better somehow, layer names are big and symbols separate stuff

yes

at least to me it's kinda inconvenient

symbols could be left align always

yeah that might be good (edited)

@Jupstar ✪ where do i report bugs ?

we use this issue: https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet-rs/issues/67 feel free to add anything, evne small things, but would be nice if i understand what u mean from the description

oh its not related to the editor

Cammodude

oh its not related to the editor

well then look if the issue exists here: https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet-rs/issues/1 else feel free to create a new one
