this is your map's testing channel! Post map updates here and remember to follow our mapper rules: https://ddnet.org/rules

https://ddnet.org/testmaps/?map=Dry

you can cheat the beginning with rocket and keep it for some parts. If the map doesn't have max team size you shouldnt do the start like this, avoid/reduce blocking zones

dont spam shields, this have a hitbox of 1,5, so you can put them with 1 tile of separation

every time that you put a marking should understandable, clean and organised, you can put a freeze tile and mark it with a colour of your preference and it should match the colour pallet of your map

avoid long/boring parts similar to this

try not to force the weapons like this, do it more natural

the map is unbalanced, too short, the gameplay isnt good, try to bring smth creative (ofc cant be all new)

take a look of the scale of the resolution of the mapre, looks really awful

take a look at recent moderates or whatever server your interested in, so you can get a picture of what we are looking for. If you have any questions you can ask us or do them respectively on his topic

dont give up on mapping if this is your first map its good enough 😄

$decline

and read

which contains the rules

When i have time il surelly fix it and make it better

It is :D thank you

Make a new map tho don’t follow this one

I still want to continue it i like most of the parts even ir they are hard for my level of skill

But making another map is a good idea too

Yea so i got a question about it i tried adjusting it to look abit better but thats how it got

At first i wanted to add some Vector art that wont follow the player and just stay there with a couple layers of it But when i tried stretching it just looks bad

Even tried resizing the image but still doesnt look good

So į really dont know how to make the background look good

No one stops you to do that, but can’t assure with fixes will make the map releasable

I don’t remember if the name was “grid” but that option allows you to see the border of what players can see with regular zoom, after that make sure that’s the mapre has good resolution and both has to be divided by 16 or 36 (for example 208x208) after that you have to put on the position that you like and see what looks better when you test your map on a server

You can rotate the image if is too small so the border bellow can’t be seen

If the maprrs that you are using are not good better look for a replacement , you can borrow to mapers (ask first if they are okay)

Alr. But the most important thing was to learn the basics atleast

Maybe in like a month il have another map ready

how long will this Channel stay here?

2-5 days +-

5 days mostly if the channel is inactive, if you have another map just submit it on

Ok

btw what did you mean by this

For example you could get the gun on the solo by yourself, that’s just me tho it’s not forbidden do the way you did

Oh so like merging the 2 parts but make it so the gun can be gotten by yourself

I like the idea

And it wouldd make the part more enjoyable

besides in that way you may not disturb the flow of the map

Wdym by that

every map should have flow, this means that depending which difficulty is the map it can be done relatively fast, therefore the gameplay must be clean/clear(...)between other stuff
