Map :lady_beetle: :
i have louis permission if i understanded his msg correctly
lol i just was on my server and thinking about linear christmass xD
XD
will fix
gameplay is changed ..
how you knew ?
knew what?
no understand
oh for christmas? i just thought that it was this year (every year this event) so i just made up something 🙂
Map :lady_beetle: :
why does this appear though?
is it illegal to have stoppers mirrored or smt 🤣
mirrored stoppers are bugged. Instead of mirroring them rotate them
(rotate them twice to mirror them)
okay, does the change need to be done?
If it wasn't intended like that. Yes.
okay i go fixing
ig
my first map ❤️
dm me if you want to be in thx to
btw
everything on the map is aled, and what is not aled is easy
cool
imma buff it even more then.
not now
how much time to wait for the map to be on test srv btw?
It is
just had to press reload again
Map length 2 minutes and 12 aleds to be counted...

just gimme some ideas to replace with
What?
This is not a good rework of the map
$decline

Looks to me like you don't have enough gameplay experience and interesting ideas to create fun and enjoyable parts. Most of your "parts" are just aleds and even if they were not, it would be really hard to create a good brutal version of this map. You should really try to find your own map style instead of touching maps for a rework. First you would need the agreement by the original mapper and 2nd it takes more mapping and gameplay experience to do that. As of now that isn't the case and I suggest you to start your own map by mapping parts one by one until you are satisfied with each part and then build them together to a cool map.
Make sure to follow the Mapper Guidelines and the Mapping Rules for creating your own map. https://ddnet.org/guidelines/ https://ddnet.org/rules/

i already have permission https://discord.com/channels/252358080522747904/746534464984973323/1302372106130161665
other things ill try to rework/ make a new map
my suggestion is to start from scratch and forget about linear
my suggestion is to simply redecorate linear for christmas
i really love making reworks of maps, and i am bad at mapping tho
Play more and analyze gameplay
You need a lot experience in terms of gameplay to know which parts are fine and which are lacking of creativity and playability
New maps
idk how much, but i have 3 years if that helps
i would create maps that look just like new ones but theres a catch- i dont have any good marpes cuz teedata.net is jut pure trash
there is pure gold on teedata.net
2nd thing to be mentioned; i made this map for christmas, so if i make a second map there will be no time for it.
you just gotta look for it
i did this 24/7 yesterday and couldnt find even pure charcoal
you always can make your own textures!
and the design doesnt matter as much as gameplay
focus on gameplay first
skins.tw maybe
teedata probably doesnt even have 10% of the assets skins.tw had
skins.tw redirects u to teedata
editing parts is a great way to get new ideas, nothing wrong with that
i think this would have been a better fit in moderate if the aleds were removed / made optional
besides the design this feels like its own map, i think the idea of a map with no unhook is nice
yes, but they removed a lot of assets when they switched to teedata
i know, so i said that they have mostly useless things
also... linear itself has tight spacing, so why did i get declined for that? i really like making maps, even though i dont know which parts are fun or how to map them, i still have enough experience for my first map. i thought making this map would bring more of a "challenge" to the community, and also, i didnt made this map for just that thing, i made it for this christmas event 2024 thing, so dont judge me, i just want to point out my main goal here. if reworking seems completely pointless, tell me why, and if so, where will i get help for my new map? i am not a experienced mapper, and i cannot make my own map on myself.
so, may i ask for additional help, or should i drop map creating till i get 20 yrs of experience
Apparently the rework isn't great in its gameplay... Even if you would rework the parts, I can't see them reaching the quality DDNet has atm. Look at other released Mod/Brutal maps to see what parts we are looking for and what todays "trend" is. Here you can find recently released ones. https://ddnet.org/releases/
I'm sure you get the point that your map isn't really interesting, nor does it provide quality gameplay. Even if you would reduce the aled amount to the half, it wouldn't make the map releaseable.
Creating your own parts by implementing your own ideas will change the whole process of making a good map. And while reworks aren't necessarily bad, they should provide some what special or even more unique gameplay/mechanics than casual maps. It might be harder to release such reworks because they take some more innovative thoughts imo. (really depends on the map).
Thats why I would suggest you to improve your quality, to create your own map first and take my advice for creating fun and good gameplay.
aight imma get to searching for new tiles
can this get atleast released for the december month
for event thing
focus on gameplay first not tiles lol
yes but i need to find tiles to put them somewhere, and then ill go onto fixing problems with them 🙂
but first gp yes
You put brutal parts into linear, but brutal parts need more space (unless it's high brutal or teamforce stuff). Event maps have to be kept in secret, don't just share them with everybody. Reworks are currently rather allowed for events and not really for normal releases.
While we can point out issues about your map, we don't have the capacities to give you a step by step guide into mapping for your map. You have to learn what is fun and what makes sense for maps on your own.
Design related I would wish some more really snow and christmas feeling tbh. But not a bad start.
i meant to change it to 2p, but it seemed like others didnt like it, so i changed it back, but now, people saying 2p is a better option
Right now it doesn't feel snowy xd
i got confused and dropped if t0 or not
This specific map shouldn't be 2p. It would be really confusing and change the original idea of the map.
This is general info, but doesn't mean that you should change your map to 2p because of the space.
ill make a map where there is alot of space and sometimes theres drag parts
hope it goes well
My personal suggestion would be to focus on mapping single parts first and put them all together at the end
ill try to come up with ideas... what if i dont
nvm ill just stick to these things you send
This way, you won't occure the issue having parts in the map which you don't really like.. Because when starting a map, you might feel to be in a rush mapping it. That's why mapping part by part might be better. But it's totally up on you, just a suggestion buddy.
And if you got questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Honestly it’s pretty easy to break down here… a little harsh but easy.
The gameplay of your map basically only features aled‘s and nothing else. This is not innovative or creative and also it is repetitive and each of those has been seen more than multiple times.
Deleting those and replacing them with “real“ parts would be like remapping “your“ whole map.
Cases where multiple parts are expected to be fully replaced / excessively changed are being declined as this is supposed to be connected with a lot of time and work. So yes, it’s like a heavy red flag for testers to read that you’re basically going to change every aled which is basically your whole map.
thx for advice
for now, if there is a server called "Mirfay mapping server (password is 1234 for botting reasons)", then its the server where i will test my new map from now on till i post it in ddnet server.
the 1234 for botting reasons thing is so that only legit ppl can join the server
aw man you caught me! i cant join and advertise on the silly server anymore!
°_>°
malfoy went from making pepega posts to pepega maps
Please be respectful when commenting on maps
you still cant make any of these
you can talk about this in dms
i have learned how to make bots recently, thank you for the password
hey testers may this map get released for december 2024 thing in news
and then the map is back to declined?
since i dont really work on the map anymore anyway
the event maps are supposed to be secret (there is one exception). if you don't work on the map it wont be released anyway
ok
Exception? (Its fine to me ig, thats why i aint working)
okay then it wont be released with the event/tournament
Why isnt it fine? I really havent got much feedback
So ig its alf
Alr
i dont understand you
I didnt get feedback. Bad maps always get feedback.
i see feedback here
The only feedback i got was 12 aledy or something
Aleds*
if you want to understand the issues, you can read the feedback again and ask questions. as said we suggest you to look at recently released ideas. i would also suggest you to start making maps by yourself instead of starting with reworking, so you learn how to create good gameplay. the process of thinking about part ideas helps you to understand how to create a specific gameplay. you learn a lot about spacing when mapping on your own.
And why is linear a tight map then? Spacing is important but the map was made for t0 or duo, not solo. I find alot of blockers there. (Also, the map looks kinda new to me)
Im already working on a map
spacing on novice is something different than spacing on t0 hh maps
hh?
hammerhit
No difference, just map difficulty
do you no joke think your map is great compared to other "hh maps"?, this is not meant in a disrespectful way 🤓 . you were asked to look at other released maps but i really cant see how you can conclude that your map is releasable
as said already. if you (mirfay) have questions about your map you can ask them. if you just disagree with our perspective and don't ask further questions, it seems like you don't want to understand. in that case i don't want to help you.
Not releasable, but for this moment that is december
I asked lots of questions and anwsers dont make sense to me. I already looked for new maps and they werent that different except for tight spacing.
so youre saying that the event is just going to be low effort maps?
My map is not low effort. Not releasable for here but prob for there
i don't think that this map would be good for the tournament
For tournaments the standards are even higher.
louis said i shall try harder for ddnet
Not sure in what context you are telling me that.
Nvm i quit this
Ill make a new map
If this was your first attempt at making a map try to create one that is not a rework! You'll gain a lot more experience that way.
U can check file that is rn
Hm?
Doesnt have any parts
