sorry for the question, but how can I test my map on official test servers?

I don’t remember the password from the server and from rcon😅

code

Looks solid to me. I like the way how weapon's are used, but are these huge freeze walls faily or is there any laser to help out? :]

I will test it when I'm home

huge freeze walls? please explain differently or give a screenshot, the translator translated this part of the message incorrectly

сan i ask? and on what basis do they assign the number of stars per map? for example, in my case for a solo, I know the approximate measurements of a solo map, but I would like to know about my

I think mine will be 2-3 stars

cp13 felt akward to play

either raise up the 2 unhookable pilars or move the one before them 1 block down

kinda bad to get the right height for nade

cp14 is really bad imo remove that

cp15 is useless

overall map is quite nice tough

feels like budget weapon finals

cp8 is way too short either make it longer or just delete it

i would change this aswell, you get a lot of speed and you just have to lose all your momentum to do some boring lasers

i think you could make something more interesting instead of this

good map overall, hard 3 or easy 4

last freeze jump doesn't work sometimes

when you laser late it works every time

but when you laser a tiny bit earlier it stops working

did u hit your head at the roof every time?

yes

100% sure

hello, thank you for testing my map, I haven’t been able to respond since June 1st, now I’ll be free from work and start fixing everything

looks neat

im not really sure how i feel about the faily ends of the nade parts (unless im mistaken and they have antifail?)

also first nade part has a bit of awkward flow at the beginning, just from the video

hi all! thank you for waiting for me, I’m ready to show you the corrected version of the map with the addition of some parts, I hope are you like it)

New:

3 new parts: CP2, CP8, CP9

Fixed:

CP13: was complicated

Finish: fixed part with auto-jump

Map: fixed bugs with getting stuck on the edge (image 2)

Bugs:

1. CP9: in 1 tile (front) can't be "super jump off", "time checkpoint" (in game layer - unfreeze) (image 1)

2. perhaps part of the squares will be visible (image 3)

??? I sent the wrong version

Include a changelog alongside your map updates (preferably with screenshots).

Fixed:

why did I notice this a day later

fixed finish

plz dont ban meXD

✅ improved quality of parts: CP2, CP9 ( -bug on CP9 )

are ghosts

forget to remove weapons from the spawn

redezign of title "map by"

CP8 changed

fixed a couple of unimportant things

i suggest to remove this arrow, it's bad way to make the part easier

also this arrow, it won't hurt the part much if you remove it and the last line of freeze

switch not marked

never put cp near tele like that you can teleport back and take cp 13

can't see this armors

don't liking this feels like out of place (but it's just my opinion (+ it's only in this place there is not 2nd part like this where it's uses same tune )

i am bad at shotgun and i am not able to test it . however i enjoyed playing some parts of it , good map i think . challenging and creative . i have to get good to tell more about this map

✅ some features described above have been changed

I sent the wrong version again -_-

good map

but i dont feel good about the fact that you play 13 parts with tp and then suddenly last part you only get one try even if it looks basic

how to look a preview of map?

https://ddnet.org/testmaps/?map=EXO this?

yes, thanks

Scroll up its always in the beginning of the channel 🙂

good changes but there is a few things to improve

Is it cp3 ?

i mean you can miss the laser and better make the hole 3 tiles wide

or just place the laser below

2nd screenshot: remove hooktele, it makes no sense. 3rd: remove 1 line of freeze and 1 block of platform. 4th: remove 2 lines of freeze

Include a changelog alongside your map updates (preferably with screenshots).

maybe add stars to the map?

parts are fixed, CP7 is chanced

CP5 and CP6 are changed

close it with stoppers, or even better if u make it unfaily. The guy on the screenshot completed previous part and died cuz he held A for too long

same goes for the last part, make it unfaily as louis mentioned

except these two, very cool map, i liked it a lot. Feels like mini weapon finals

CP10

put it lower or move hookable to the right a bit (maybe it wont work, need to test). this is very annoying to do because the swing have to be insanely precise

imo its not big deal to place hook blocker here, u are not fixing any cheat with it and it just making ur map more unclean

this is some really lazy fix to make the part unfailable. whole map is clean (except mentioned above hookblocker) and right at the end u decided to spamm with switches and draggers. try to think about clean way of fixing it, or remake the part completely. one simple jump is not worth adding all of this

i didnt shotgun this wall and it was enough for me to complete the part

Include a changelog alongside your map updates (preferably with screenshots).

this freezejump isnt 100% anymore cause theres no roof to jump against

still agree with what kicker says. the hookable is annoying to hit well

it's already moved and tp is lowered

but ok

Include a changelog alongside your map updates (preferably with screenshots).

i would move this tele 1 tile to the left so u can just hold d better

same for this one

(this is the reason for putting it more left)

by putting it more left you are given more time to react to the fail while still holding d

Other than that

Nicely made map

Include a changelog alongside your map updates (preferably with screenshots).

I still think that faily ending on this map is not acceptable. This is 3* but parts are somewhat challenging and whole map is not faily (except the beginning, but thats fine). Some people gonna grind this map for few hours and then die at end, i dont think this is right game design here

other than that map is ready

i just deleted last part XD

First ready set. Map needs to be tested again by a different tester before fully evaluated. Suggested Difficulty Rating:★★★☆☆

fixed decor of the "shadow" tile at the finish

pls adjust the layers

how to make a cover for map?

u dont need to do it

• corners

There are many more like this

they are intended

except maybe for the left one in the background freeze

yeah i understood the corners system here, i think he missed those

maybe im wrong, but i dont think so

-corners

in the third screenshot the jumping coerner is done correctly

I just changed a couple of details, but the map is again not evaluated XD

how does the map release queue work? I want to know when my map will be released approximately)

manages the

. Once he has time he will schedule release dates for the maps which are ready. But i think u can write snail here or in his pm a suggestion for the release date.

most likely either on the 17th or the 20th

gg

You can't really see the freeze while playing

Also, I thought the second freeze layer was teleport

How to know it's the end of the part without having entities on?

You should mark the telecps

You should sync all your envelopes if you want everyone to see the same thing at the same time

all parts are made in one preset, only in some there is an exception

even just by logic it is clear that it is already possible to stop there, because it is almost impossible to fly through this narrow gap without stopping

map doesn't need telecp

Why is there no tp on the next platform then? You can stop there 🤨

Pipou just asked to mark checkpoints in design xD No telecp required

4*

your map has just been released, and you now have a 2-week grace period to identify and resolve any unnoticed bugs or skips. After these two weeks, only design and quality of life (QoL) fixes will be allowed, provided they don't impact the leaderboard rankings. Be aware that significant gameplay changes may impact and lead to the removal of ranks. Good luck with your map!

EXO has been set to RELEASED.

0/10 map

very hard

Why is there one faily part in the entire map? 3* :)))

you readied this map iirc? are you fine with moving it to 4*? or can you explain why you would disagree (if so)?

hmm well i saw it as a 3.5* map. some parts are tricky but its mostly unfaily, im fine with both

i think kicker wanted it to be 3*

the issue with this map is that it's so unbelievably unbalanced that rating it becomes kind of tricky, there are 4 parts and 2 ones..

i was shocked after doing the first part first try and then seeing the second one, made me rq within 10 minutes

welcome to the solo server

thanks for telling now i can test other maps there :3

but its available in https://discord.com/channels/252358080522747904/1201860080463511612/1246863270237704202

oh..

Yes im fine, as knuski said it feels like 3.5* but the map is unfaily

And count of finishes can prove it i guess? 50 finishes for 2 days is low so 4* fit better

tile CP9 can be skippable

Exo has 60 finishes within 3 days, if it is 4 stars incommodious should be 4 stars too. 46 finishes in 4 months and a lot more faily parts

I don't really get the way maps are getting rated today. I thought people wanted to upper the skill level of each stars as the community's skill grows. No way this map and ignis gives away the same amount of points.

EXO - (3 stars) 60 finishes, (3 days since release) Incommodious - (3 stars) 46 finishes (4 months since release) Spike It - (3 stars) 143 tees finished, (4 months since release) Ignis - (4 stars) 9 finishes, (9 months since release) Sunny night - (3 stars) 85 tees finished (1.1 years since release) Jomp - (2 stars) 196 finishes, (1.1 years since release) Pogo - (3 stars) 250 finishes, (1.1 years since release) Telephone 3 - (4 stars) 38 finishes, (1.3 years since release) Motus - (3 stars) 64 tees finished, (1.2 years since release)

EXO, Incommodious - 4 stars Ignis - 5 stars There you go I solved it

i'll solve it too EXO 3 pogo 2

not sure why we need to inflate solo star points, there are much harder maps. I think this rating fits well

5* will naturally be the star rating with the widest difficilty range since no matter how hard the map is it cant go past 5 stars

So I dont see a problem with some maps being much easier there

(Maps of other star difficulties can be debated ofc)

Why do we have only 5 star for solo?

we need solo+ category

even the difference between memento mori and examinus is like 2* diff

exanimus 10, memento mori 8, memoria 8, weapon finals2 9, weapon finals 7, ignis 6, airnade ultra 7, luna 6, ...

ignis - 5*, airnade ultra - extreme, momento mori - grandpa demon, weapon finals 2 - 60 heat, exanimus - Tier 0 GM+3

CP9 isn't skippable

Post-release updates need to be manually uploaded. Please reach out to an administrator.

can someone make sure nothing is broken in this version before I upload it?

at this point it's easier to fix the cp by ourselves instead of comparing the 2 versions 😅

ye probably

XD

the task to skip the whole map failed

❌

you added a map skip to this version? 😮

of course not

XD

or yes

not sus at all

it was already done 7+ years ago

you are late af
