who wanna play all these parts

izanagiddnet 08/13/2023 6:21 PM

too short $decline

texnonik 08/13/2023 7:09 PM

I would just take good parts remake them and ad it in good map . i see you changed parts , but even seeing 2nd part looks hard for novice players ( my opinion ) 1st also hard , but also sooooooooooo small space to move around ....

texnonik 08/13/2023 7:09 PM

just go both tele 5 why need to go to tele 7 ?

texnonik 08/13/2023 7:09 PM

also skip up

texnonik 08/13/2023 7:12 PM

take cp 9 .ok . get one to tele 10 , he do part . ok . now he go back , tele back to 9 , how he can get to that guy now ?

b0mf 08/13/2023 7:14 PM

Bro just make small map but good, not long bad and boring, something better than that

nezox1 08/13/2023 8:05 PM

I dont test it but, by 2 screenshots what sent texnonik i can say map bad and boring :D.

wartoz_ 08/13/2023 11:42 PM

Just by looking at the map, I can tell that some parts of it aren't even tested.

nendogalaxy 08/13/2023 11:55 PM

I finish this map before publish

nendogalaxy 08/14/2023 12:01 AM

Sorry for bad moments in video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8-TrQSNy-g

nendogalaxy 08/14/2023 12:10 AM

I'll try add timecodes on this video

nendogalaxy 08/14/2023 12:19 AM

in oldschool map pool can be maps that maked before ddnet

nendogalaxy 08/14/2023 12:50 AM

43 part need for changes, i think

nendogalaxy 08/14/2023 1:47 AM

I think this way will be hard for realize

nendogalaxy 08/14/2023 1:49 AM

You can go both tele 5, and with lot of skill skip 10-15 seconds 👍

nendogalaxy 08/14/2023 1:55 AM

?

nendogalaxy 08/14/2023 1:57 AM

Timecodes to video added

nendogalaxy 08/14/2023 2:03 AM

*fix tiles

nendogalaxy 08/14/2023 2:13 AM

If You record the game (obs, bandicam or whatever), I'll be happy to take a look 🙂 It would be a really interesting experience! Or, if possible, i can just get by with a demofile))

b0mf 08/14/2023 7:24 AM

I’ll be doing it on twitch! I can then send you the recorded document after!

b0mf 08/14/2023 7:24 AM

I’ll start it soon

b0mf 08/14/2023 10:50 AM

heres the vod if youre interested

b0mf 08/14/2023 10:51 AM

its my raw reaction to stuff etc but i did have fun playing the map :D

b0mf 08/14/2023 10:51 AM

that being said i dont think it will be accepted due to everything said during playing etc

danil9901 08/14/2023 11:14 AM

What the

betonoxpa 08/14/2023 11:25 AM

please don't make the maps too fucking long.

gazebr 08/14/2023 11:45 AM

Having a few super long maps in a category is fine but these maps should be especially good to not be boring

nendogalaxy 08/14/2023 12:58 PM

in 28:28 my bad I didn't put "turn off entities"

nendogalaxy 08/14/2023 12:59 PM

Many parts are quite easy if you know how to go through them

nendogalaxy 08/14/2023 1:05 PM

I uploaded a video with timecodes for each part

b0mf 08/14/2023 1:12 PM

you must make suer you do this whenever necessary :D

vena6080 08/14/2023 6:06 PM

wait i already seen and tested this map, it had been decline right ? or spend to much time in waiting maybe, anyway i don't see the point of doing ultra long map in novice, the only time player finish this type of map is when they are much better than novice + when i see all those entities and with the memories i got from the testing, they is no interest of releasing the map. biggest problem is just entities and gameplay

vena6080 08/14/2023 6:06 PM

$decline

b0mf 08/14/2023 6:07 PM

it was remade + uploaded

b0mf 08/14/2023 6:07 PM

but its essentially the same as before

vena6080 08/14/2023 6:07 PM

yep i can see that, just by looking it's decline

vena6080 08/14/2023 6:09 PM

if i can had something, for novice map or even low moderate, utralong map are bad, try to use basic game tile, and not 1000000 switch/ speeders... try to give a structure to the part for a good gameplay/flow, and a good structure for the entire map

texnonik 08/14/2023 6:22 PM

he made a lot different parts

vena6080 08/14/2023 6:23 PM

Bro... look at the map we are in 2023 we can rls, i can check a random part i will find 3 switch 10 stoppers to make a simple part

pluskz 08/14/2023 11:24 PM

maybe if teams were used with /save and /load on this map

b0mf 08/15/2023 6:04 AM

The gameplay is also just old school stuff for all parts super unbalanced and way too tight with space

b0mf 08/15/2023 6:05 AM

With more experience I believe the mapper could make something great but I think this one is not jt

b0mf 08/15/2023 6:05 AM

The logo is nice tho

texnonik 08/15/2023 8:53 AM

No . I mean you sayd you seen it and test it . But i looked first parts and they were new . Only that

gazebr 08/15/2023 9:07 AM

It doesnt matter, you can still tell the map is very oldschool just by looking at the preview

nendogalaxy 08/15/2023 9:13 AM

And what are the criteria of the newschool, what should I focus on?

gazebr 08/15/2023 9:18 AM

For starters dont map parts like these (a bunch of diagonal hooks without anything else/repeating parts) Also try to use less elements in a part so the player can easily see what to do (especially in novice) Tight parts are also bad cuz noobs will play in big groups most of the time

gazebr 08/15/2023 9:23 AM

Cant really comment on every part there but others have already pointed out a lot of stuff

b0mf 08/15/2023 10:06 AM

I played the whole thing over the course of 2 hours and he is correct

steinchen99 08/15/2023 10:17 AM

Yea, i played with bomf for a bit Every part is a mess Way too much going on and it's just confusing then some parts are just way too difficult for a newbie

shengyan1256 08/16/2023 4:41 AM

It's good map. I love long maps xD The mapper's hard work to make this map should not ignore

b0mf 08/16/2023 8:10 AM

For me it’s not the length that’s the problem but the parts

b0mf 08/16/2023 8:10 AM

If you can make a 2 hour map filled with great parts then yes I think ez accept

b0mf 08/16/2023 8:10 AM

Unfortunately I don’t think this is it

nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:07 AM

What should I add or remove? Or just remake some parts for moderate players and publish as [Moderate]?

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:09 AM

i would recommend just make a new map

steinchen99 08/16/2023 11:09 AM

The parts are way too complicated and often quite difficult for a novice

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:09 AM

i think regardless of what you do with this one it will not be released unless you put years of work into it

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:10 AM

i would also recommend starting with moderate maps as the parts are more easy to balance in that difficulty

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:10 AM

and it seems like youre making moderate parts anyways

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:11 AM

also i would recommend changing the design back to the first design you made it was much easier to look at and way less confusing

nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:13 AM

You mean "generic only"?

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:14 AM

just whatever u did last time ig

nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:15 AM

Last version of this map is "generic only"

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:15 AM

right

nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:19 AM

I can recolor entities, or add some descriptions on parts

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:19 AM

ill take some screenshots and then demonstrate my issues with them

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:19 AM

1 second

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:20 AM
b0mf 08/16/2023 11:20 AM

literally part one

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:20 AM

theres just so much extra unnecessary things added

nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:20 AM

In the last map, on the contrary, they complained to me that the design was too bad

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:20 AM

has anyone got a link to the last version of this channel

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:20 AM

i remember the design being what people liked

nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:21 AM

I can give link on video walktrought

nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:21 AM

I have only this

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:21 AM
b0mf 08/16/2023 11:21 AM

this part aswell

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:21 AM

look at how much stuff is on here in entities its too much

nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:21 AM

I love it

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:21 AM

also purple is not a colour you should use for this style it looks weird

nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:22 AM

I can recolor

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:22 AM
b0mf 08/16/2023 11:22 AM

i would recommend recolouring

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:22 AM

heres another example

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:22 AM

this also goes into another point of

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:22 AM

do you really think novice players would understand how to play this?

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:23 AM

you do this for every solo part and it bugs me but i guess its technically fine

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:23 AM

just make it a solo and an unsolo you dont need all this extra random garbage

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:24 AM
b0mf 08/16/2023 11:24 AM

this part is cool

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:24 AM

the entities are too much once again whats with all the lines etc

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:24 AM

unnecessary

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:25 AM
b0mf 08/16/2023 11:25 AM

and because you do it like this it means the entities arent alligned

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:25 AM

it looks unprofessional

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:25 AM

same here

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:26 AM

why would you ever do it like this where people can just

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:26 AM

miss the regain hookor regain ability to hit players

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:26 AM
b0mf 08/16/2023 11:26 AM

also its not alligned

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:26 AM

none of them are

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:26 AM
b0mf 08/16/2023 11:27 AM

parts like this confuse me i dont understand the point of them

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:27 AM

do you really expect novice players to be able to fly without a block to allign themselves

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:27 AM
  • if they allign to the wall they will have to move mid air
b0mf 08/16/2023 11:27 AM
nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:27 AM

In a normal solo, what annoys me is that all the other players disappear from the screen, and often you have to press pause to either find out about the progress of another player, or simply learn from a partner how to pass this or that part

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:27 AM

due to such

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:28 AM
b0mf 08/16/2023 11:28 AM

this solves your problem here with one button

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:28 AM

if you have to learn how to pass a solo part its not a good part

nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:28 AM

Okay, here you convinced me)

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:29 AM

especially if you have to learn from someone else who may also be doing it wrong

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:29 AM

:D

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:29 AM

my main problems are entites are too complex and parts are imbalanced

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:29 AM

which are fixable but it will take so much work and you will need to literally remake the map to do it correctly

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:29 AM

which is why i just suggest making a new one

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:30 AM
nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:30 AM

I don't understand what is wrong with these lines?

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:30 AM

i dont think i need to comment on this part for a novice map

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:30 AM

its too much and it looks like an old school map

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:30 AM

go to any novice map uplaoded in the past year and then go to any oldschool map

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:30 AM

which one does your map look more like

nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:32 AM

This part is just to activate the buffs in the finish lobby lol

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:33 AM

yea i figured as much

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:34 AM

the last thing i would recommend is increasing the space for tees in all parts and giving more room

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:34 AM

especially in novice maps

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:36 AM

which is also why i suggest making a new map as adding more space to all parts would take so long for this map lul

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:37 AM

whats tp 65 for btw

nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:38 AM

I can try to stretch the map (put all the parts next to each other from left to right) so that I can easily edit the size of the parts

nendogalaxy 08/16/2023 11:38 AM

65 do nothing just a forgot delete this

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:38 AM

i think this map is really not going anywhere

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:38 AM

you may try this if you would like but

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:39 AM

i think making a new map will be much less time consuming and much easier/better for you

gazebr 08/16/2023 11:40 AM
b0mf 08/16/2023 11:41 AM

ty

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:43 AM

pipou_tw 06/09/2023 7:20 PM

The design is simple (not considering the "tips"), which is good

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:43 AM

^^

b0mf 08/16/2023 11:43 AM

the only person i saw who didnt like it was misstrip

gazebr 08/16/2023 12:03 PM

agree, not only moving parts of the map is painful but you will also have to do it multiple times to allign after adding more space and im not even talking about remaking parts it would really be faster and easier to map from start and adding space along the way + you would be able to keep your old map as a reference (tho copy only the general structure and not the complexity of parts)
