@ChRIstMas`iPro basically if you're lazy to search for tilesets just do it like that, write in a piece of paper the content of mapitems.h & use that to make your map :v)

@Deleted User I searched... And found expired posts from 2015

Just do like I said xd

i tried but i cant get it to work

don't get too crazy with ideas, minimalism is good :)

those chat icons arent really helpful lol

18:13

so if i press t i get a white bubble and y a green one and x opens a mailbox

Yeah might just remove them, people can try

I'd agree with both mockups, but please ad the ASDW together, it's not the same to see the A D alone :(

the keys will not necessarily be A D

18:37

it can be P R or whatever

ASDW keys gives the game control tutorial a familiar and stylized touch, that's why I put them together, to not make them look like floating boxes with a letter inside.

these are the mouse images I've been using:

@1stDecadeTW vote for second

for what I'm proposing, the displayed keys will depend on what is currently bound, so I'm not planning on making use of such large icons

you think, that people will change controls right after download the game? I mean beginners?

I would like this to be re-usable for other purposes, @Savander

1

for example?

an overlay of the buttons being pressed when spectating/watching a demo/streaming

21:40

I'm not a big fan of hardcoding the hotkeys

21:40

maybe it's better that way, I don't know. should discuss it with Oy

Okay, but tutorial should be at the first

21:41

run i guess?

21:41

I mean, if someone can play teeworlds, he don't need tutorial

21:41

If it's first time for a player, it should show default controls

21:41

the first time you start (edited)

tutorial is a separate issue

Image attachment

21:43

that thing, is kinda tutorial (edited)

ah, you mean that - it's a hint

Maybe I don't understand, when it will be shown?

tutorial means a map to me

21:43

at the first play only

hmm, I think, that tutorial map with such default controls would fit better

it's separate work

and would be much more helpfull. But it will made additional work

21:44

Not really, first start of the game

21:44

-> tutorial

21:44

after tutorial (or by canceling)

21:44

enter the menu

it's been years and no one has made one. so for now I'll make those hints

I think, ddnet has been working on such tutorial

21:45

I even saw a little bit of map

21:45

but don't remember, if it was hard-ddrace related

it was also never finished

yea, but work were in progress

when there will be such a tutorial map, this work might be obsolete, yes

@Dune @1stDecadeTW It should explain the mouse buttons and in some way double jump. I also vote for your second colorization, 1stDecadeTW. All other usable buttons are light gray, too.

only basics (edited)

What do you mean with basic? Fire, hook and double jump are the basics, aren't they?

the goal isn't to explain mechanics, they'll figure that out. just the basic keys

1

21:54

if you want to explain mechanics, you need a full-fledged map imo

Hmm

21:55

Being able to press a button twice is imo a basic, but I accept your opinion on it.

21:56

Ah and I am afraid that the chat bubbles are not accessible for color blinded.

they're probably going away anyway

alright. Beside that, it looks really nice so far and I am sure that it will help new players.

I like the idea of making the keys reusables

About the tutorial, new players learn tricks and gameplay mechanics playing and communicating with other Tees, this communication and social behavior of teeworlds is what makes the game a tutorial by itself, you never stop learning and improving your skills. An official adventure gametype (single and multiplayer mod) with gradually increasing difficulty levels and rewards system could act as a tutorial and ranking system.

in fact, there are plenty of good ways to make a tutorial

23:13

what we really need is someone to go ahead and make one

23:13

some of the ways need little technical skill for the most part
