if i remember well i told you add smth different here like a part that includes the dummy...

like not this type of drag

this is not a good marking of the tele shoot

add a warning sign with his entities off

deleting 2 or 1 unhook could make the difference here, maybe is a skill issue but after the hammer you have really short time to catch the dummy

or just reduce the speed of the speeder

i found this a bit tight

this too

put 3 unfreezes

$waiting

and search for corners and stuff

done,i hope u like it

without this,just try again if u cant cath the dummy,not faily part,and i think thats good 😅

idk if u want that the player returns the same way that he went to get the laser or what, if not you could put unfreeze there

well you could use the laser, maybe put the unfreeze in a tricky way that u can reach it with speed idk

put unfreeze here pls, a bit annoying when u fail the laser

it doesnt have to be marked

add a bit of para to x & y to the planet xd

right up corner

i think if you separate this (planet and saturn) you could low the weight of the file, besides you could re use the same planet for the bg xd by just drawing it a face

ok no, bad idea

dont open the switch 4, ifyou dont touch the activate (green on the teles) you could go to the right and do the part normally

maybe just put the deactivate with timer

idk if still a thing but due the speed (you could rocket the dummy + the speed of the fall) it may happend that the dummy skips the things there

just put it on the top

$waiting

okey,thanks!

im done with everything,but i have a question

so i found this cheat,and my brain sucks bcs u can save your dj

the question: its good idea to put this shit there or not xd

it looks like it was placed by accident, and since the cheat looks a little bit more risky, it seems like it would just be a speedrun strat, so I would keep the cheat and ditch the weird anti-hook tile

thats just me tho

i think its okay

you dont skip something big xd

but if u want to change it anyways you could lower the bottom part

i moved lower a bit,thanks!

thats why i said was a bad idea

the thing i sent you added like 30 kb

I would change the way you mark deep freeze. Just use the snowflakes instead of the tee icon, people understand that they can't go through deep.

sometimes the stoppers are hard to see, maybe make them a little brighter

Not a fan of the random white walls, sometimes they look like they could be tele or some other game tile

kill tile design is not representative of the actual hitbox

Also not a huge fan of the way the telegun tiles are represented, the bullet icon is barely visible, and the white walls are already used as unhook. I don't think the grass by itself is enough for the player to distinguish between regular unhook and telegun tiles

thank u,i hope u like it

I would still recommend changing the tele-tiles, maybe something like a different color glow as shown in the screenshot (this is the typical way of marking tele-tiles). The problem is that your border uses the same glow, which might not look the best. I still think it would look better than putting bullet signs on top of a wall though.

kill tiles are much better, and the signs are easier to see

I would pick a color that sticks out from the others for the glow, right now the black wall is a similar color to the freeze, and with all of the combinations of textures and blocks, the simpler you can make things, the better

here's an example of something that I think is more readable. Not the prettiest, but if you want to keep the white outline then its probably the easier solution. I don't think the bullet icon is necessary if you use the colored glow, but you might want to double check that with a tester.

thank u so much the tip!

what u think about this?

i think this better maybe

Yeah that looks good 👍

The color doesn’t match tho

this?xd

Looks good

i hope

you forgot about some hd stuff, for example the stars, the light around the unhook

here you can just jump, no need to get speed with the dummy

idk if its me but this part is kinda clunky, like after you hook the dummy to get speed sometimes you have to jump and then hook, which should be more like jump then get unfreezed hook and jump fast

what is the purpose of the door there?

corner

pls check all corners and entities bug again

you put on hd 1 and the other not, but shouldnt be hd due impacts on the gameplay

about the planet, you should back on the other one bcs has less kb

unless you really want to keep it

maybe you should put the off sign on top of the thing that say is off

mmm i may have not explained well but here is an example

smth like that

$waiting

forgot to mention this, why use 2 type of freeze set? use photoshop and delete some things that u dont use, or mix them together idk, that would solve some issues with the weight

i picked from this the line to the design

so it comes back faster the dummy if u fail the part,u said me figure something out.

if u fail, the gate opens

why are these few kilobytes so important? it was not so important before

but okey,ill do it

ah okay

it always has and should, some tester do it and some others dont, but less kb should help players that have bad internet

and besides the map doesnt have much deco, the problem are the mappres you picked, but whatever

thanks Arrow

720kb->476kb

i didnt found the old saturn,so i didnt replace it

i used photoshop to kill kilobyite's,left out the pure_tiles set bcs i didnt found it too (and i cant search back in my computer,i had to reinstall 1-2 months ago this shit xd)

• changed the color of signs background,its looks better than the light blue

I forgot to send you the ss

I’ll take a another look tomorrow and may be ready as 2⭐️

corner

• little changes

entites..

that looks bad

lower the brightness on the off wsign

I WAS ABLE TO do it once bcs of the lag, but it might be recurrently possible for someone who doesnt have lag

$waiting

thank u

srry for the bad draw, and i dont know if your intended way is that the player grabs the dummy and hook him up and down so can get more speed (yellow) or just hook him down (red)

maybe add unfreeze here

the dummy falls to close to the edge here, maybe add more speed on the speedup?

not bad,understandable,and honestly for me it does not matter the way,i think both are good

above the dum?

ye

thanks

ah and btw, you still can be able to hook the dummy, but its harder

but imo its okay

i think so too

dont know if the blocker is necessary there

delete

meaningless but are bugs

$waiting

pls check for more

i went through the map in "transparent entites" mod,thanks!

$ready 2

The white bars still look like teleport and it's still too bright

this is serious?i dontt understand how anyone can mix this two thing,but i will do this little part,and im so sorry but i keep this bright 😅

the "white bars" looks weird but doesnt look like teleport xD, with 200 on alpha should be fine if you want to change it, solid things shouldnt have alpha tho (unless is ht ofc)

maybe a solution could be making the bars shorter

Make sure to set sv_deepfly to 0 if you don't want people to fly around with dummy

set alpha 200

and added sv_deepfly 0 xd

thank u

i dont know how i forgot this

skippable

bit hard and probably not worth for time

but possible

thank u,i hope this enough

if i add two bullet to this part,its good idea or irritating?😅

i think it would make it unnecessarily annoying xd

could both go through (i know its harder and more time consuming tho at least if u dont rng the hole) xd no need to fix

intended that this can just be done solo?

CRITICAL MAPPING ERROR! u can simply skip the undeep and both go up if im not mistaken!!

$waiting

okey,fixed

+fixed 2 skips

a little bit changed the spawn

• added some new parts to get telegun

thanks Knuski

Hi, tell me when you are available to test that map

The teleport looks like two different entities (sides and middle)

Why not use unhookable instead of a blocker with a speeder ?

A suggestion for the glow

Make it the same color as the tile it's on

Can barely see the 1x1 tile with telegun

Change the color of the tile or add a symbol over it

That door seems useless

$waiting

the one hook down seems useless as the ht there and could confuse the players

if i delete it the one hook u have to hit ur dummy when u fall down,if u miss it,u cant jump up to try again cuz to high

I thought you had to hook him after that

Like in here

Anyways isn’t necessary, but if u want to keep it it’s ok

Lol,i didnt noticed that😂 i will delete it the one hook

xd and the ht maybe

Yeah,okey

okey,fixed,thank u Pipou and Arrow

Played through the map imo its around 3* quite a lot of faily stuff

You could make the white lines the same color as the unhookable's pinkish white line

the light are too bright and the light isnt hd

the two suns looks bad imo

you can cut the sun in half

I agree, center it

Thank u Pipou and Arrow

+changed little bit the freeze there

srry i forgot to mention that the switch that activates the puller doesnt work that well, sometimes you dont touch it therefore it doesnt activate

could you put a ht instead?

delete this

the map is not that balanced after some thoughts with

due some parts looks like 2 stars but some others like 3

for example here to make it harder you could do smth like this, ofc you should test it and modify it as you please

i personally think u can make this part like this its not that much harder anyways

here is an option, you can put the dummy on the stopper then go back and hook him again, again do as you please

this part is too long imo

u can still shoot and hook to completly skip the 1st wall

same here, make it a bit harder

mayabe u can do longer grenade fly or something such a short usage of nade seems pointless to me

corner

u can probably keep endless if u try hard enough u can move stop endless tile 1 higher

maybe this part shouldnt have platform and with a jump throw the dummy and hook him to he left so you can go right... well im not sure about this but do what yopu think best

this was a bit confusing, replace it with unhook (moving the row on the left to the right)

BUG

im on it

$waiting

is this part legit?

its a bit hard,you have to feel it

okey guys,first of all thank u!

there changed the parts: totelecp 3-9-20-6

i hope u like it,and i added +2 telegun parts

this is one of them,i dont know if anyone has used this idea before,hard at first, but easy to learn

and i think its now full 3*

i diddnt changed that,i think its okey

u didnt remove 1 of the stopers so part is impossible xd

fixed

entites bug fixed

and

1.-dummy stays up there after the fail 2.- maybe you can consider moving the endless after the jump?

maybe delete some freeze there? after going to the unfreeze you fall a bit hard and often you touch it

you can cheat the whole section

you let the dummy falls a lil bit to the left or right and then you shoot him, after you fly

this part is annoying to do really, and slow to do you could do a shorter fly like 1/4 of that maybe a lil more and then smth else

this unhook is a lil bit shitty

maybe move the hole there to the right idk its seems an useless point of difficulty due the speed that you take before you have to re hook the dummy anyways

1.- put more unhook there like 1 or 2 2.- move the hook tru like 1 tile lower

$waiting

Thank u Arrow

If u see this,i just wanted to say: Merry Christmas!🙂❤️

the design of the stopper shouldnt be behind of the tee

this part has a big problem with the space of it, as it is the movement is very clunky/weird, possible solutions 1.- make that ht and delete the speeders (ofc put a tele with a switch so if u fail the dummy can be pulled) 2.- move that part to the right

besides i feel that the jump refill is too big maybe move it to here

idk

1.- well the block that i made you delete helped to avoid that the dummy overpass the 2 unhook there (as the ss shows) 2.- Maybe you can consider doing the follow: Replace the ht to the block marked (ofc has to be tested, not necessary those that i picked)

your choice

still cheatable, you can move the dummy to the left and shoot him on the air

$waiting

i hope its right

a bit changed this part,i swaer thats the last xd

thank u Arrow

• Missing freeze design

and why that line of blocks

thank u Papo

cuz looks cool i think

np bro <3

i see

here dont need the stoppers at all, maybe replace them with 2 unhooks

here you can fix the skip with a tele weap, speedruners will take the chance even if there are kill tiles

i tried several times but i couldnt reach it maybe was the way i hooked but, just in case delete a row of freeze 😄

$WAITING

$waiting

thanks Arrow

tihs part was changed

the other parts seems okay

but this one is really random

you can consider putting a speeder with 1 of speed there so if players hit bad dont die

seems you put it back again

if you take too much speed you sip that unfreeze, maybe put it on all the unhook

$waiting

Thank u Arrow!

here still a bit tight either you do: 1.- this) is like you put more height on where the dummy needs to be after the switch (you should put tele here [2]) ;or 2.- you low this like 4 tiles

this part still random at least to me, it’s all about the kill tiles btw

after this is may be ready imo as 3 ⭐

$waiting

thank u Arrow,i hope its fine

+little changes there

now u cant fall down with the old cp

now its okay

i forgot to mention that the signs should be on the back of the tee, unless is a stopper

like this one

and here are 3 cto

after this is ready

$waiting

thank u Arrow

Took pretty much time for release, congrat 🤗

i moved the sign bug looked really weird

$optimize

$ready 3

thank u!

And thank u so much for everyone who putted time to help me,im really appreciate it

and thank u Arrow the lot of help and your time❤️

corner

i think its looks weird if i put a corner there

and if i remember correctly,anyone told me to delete it

then delete the other corners like that one :)

Or it doesnt matter and the map is fine!

no its not

stop being stupid.

show me,please

don't make a fuss about corners its up to mapper how he wants them

im gonna make a map called "cornered" and have all the corners be fucked up

dedass nobody notices corners during gameplay + everyone uses entities anyways so a single corner doesn't matter much

then why do design

later

me all the time :

kid named corner

this would fit as an april fools map though

I don't know if it's just me, but I don't have a background above and below, only on this map

Maybe because of HD

hm for me its fine

square monitor , should be fixed .

$waiting $reset

$optimize

this should be like that ?

5min

yes

who the fuck thought this fcking part was a good idea

even with speed down

still dogshit

You Don’t need go wall

good joke

even feels redundant to do when u do the exact same part 2 hooks to the right but this time with a stopper

stoper here would make this part repetitive and u can just swing under stoper easily xd

👍
