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

map is mostly simple drag parts, i don't think any of these parts represent a releasable map

lynn 07/25/2022 5:07 PM

top left is fail if they dont wall, next part is very odd for novice

lynn 07/25/2022 5:07 PM

ground is too sparse and i imagine many noobs missing hooks and freezing here

lynn 07/25/2022 5:08 PM

not a great part to start with either, maybe people would try to block here as well

lynn 07/25/2022 5:10 PM

cfrom should not be placed over solid tiles if they have no express purpose

lynn 07/25/2022 5:11 PM

also the entire section here being mapped this way means you could edge the dragged tee at any point on the floor

lynn 07/25/2022 5:11 PM

pretty misleading

Ravie 07/25/2022 5:20 PM

that's actually the right way to do it

lynn 07/25/2022 5:21 PM

imo i think you should take a look at newer novice maps for better ideas. as it stands i don't think this map would be a good release because all of the parts are uninspired. here are some examples of good novice maps that i like:

5 https://ddnet.tw/maps/SeMang-32-1/ https://ddnet.tw/maps/SeMang-32-2/ https://ddnet.tw/maps/Sketch/ (im not joking) https://ddnet.tw/maps/Lavender-32-Forest/ https://ddnet.tw/maps/Orion/ 4 https://ddnet.tw/maps/Harvest/ (except for 1 part, where you can easily walk into freeze) https://ddnet.tw/maps/Pounamu-32-2/ 3* https://ddnet.tw/maps/Inure/ https://ddnet.tw/maps/Pounamu/ https://ddnet.tw/maps/Sunny-32-Side-32-Up/

hope this helps :)

lynn 07/25/2022 5:22 PM

most people familiar with the grass_main tiles wouldnt expect this imo but it may have been common in the old days... i will trust u though

Ravie 07/25/2022 5:23 PM

a lot of people make those hookable but the bit that your hook hits is actually unhook so

lynn 07/25/2022 5:24 PM

if you REALLY look at it yeah but novice players are going to see a 90% green tile and try to hook it. this seems like a troll argument lol

Ravie 07/25/2022 5:25 PM

the way I see it, only the very edge matters and not the whole tile

lynn 07/25/2022 5:26 PM

novice players do not have existing expectations for this game, we shouldn't allow stuff like this when it can be made more clear for a fresh player

lynn 07/25/2022 5:27 PM

sorry i forgot to ping for all of this

tricia_takanawa 07/25/2022 5:36 PM

ooh okay i see, thank you for the advice. should I make the changes?

tricia_takanawa 07/25/2022 5:45 PM

so it's like too simple map? i tried to put together parts that i enjoy playing

lynn 07/25/2022 5:59 PM

parts are too simple, almost every part has been mapped before

lynn 07/25/2022 5:59 PM

the walljump tile was new to me but imo still doesnt change the part much

tricia_takanawa 07/25/2022 8:17 PM

I know maybe is not so original but isn't it enjoyable to play all that together?

lynn 07/25/2022 8:27 PM

i won't argue about if testing standards are good or bad, i am just telling you what will happen to the map probably

louis 07/25/2022 8:55 PM

flow could be improved since lots of the map is straight lines

louis 07/25/2022 8:55 PM

and we dont release extremely basic parts like this even if it is neat to play

louis 07/25/2022 8:55 PM

since there are a lot of novices etc that play similarly

louis 07/25/2022 8:56 PM
louis 07/25/2022 8:56 PM

look at these straight lines, it is not good to have these

louis 07/25/2022 8:56 PM

because they just create large spaces

louis 07/25/2022 8:57 PM

try to add some structure and life to the block layout

louis 07/25/2022 8:57 PM

and dont border the whole map w a rectangle

louis 07/25/2022 8:59 PM

i will decline this since it doesnt meet ddnet standards today, feel free to ask any questions about mapping in

#mapping

and take a look at recently released novices to get a feel of what we look for

louis 07/25/2022 9:00 PM

$decline

tricia_takanawa 07/25/2022 9:16 PM

okay i understand, thank you for the feedback

tricia_takanawa 07/25/2022 9:17 PM

any help in how could i try it with my friends?

louis 07/25/2022 10:00 PM
louis 07/25/2022 10:00 PM

using trashmap is the easiest way

tricia_takanawa 07/25/2022 10:22 PM

thank you very much
