execode_ 07/18/2024 8:53 PM

execode_ 07/18/2024 8:54 PM

execode_ 07/18/2024 8:54 PM

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

I played the map, it has some very frustrating parts and overall the gameplay is outdated. I suggest to play some more of the newer novice map to understand spacing and gameplay quality. You can also ask for help in

#mapping

. Also playing some more maps would help you to understand, what gameplay feels good (i assume you didn't finish alot of maps by now).

@execode_

Your map submission has been declined.

execode_ 07/18/2024 10:45 PM

frustrating?

execode_ 07/18/2024 10:45 PM

how about you guys take out old maps

execode_ 07/18/2024 10:45 PM

this seems to be normal gameplay for me

balami. 07/18/2024 10:46 PM

i would take out old maps if i could

execode_ 07/18/2024 10:50 PM

how can this be frustrating its novice

balami. 07/18/2024 10:53 PM

i mean this part is a good example, you have to hook your teammate into these tight holes, which means you need some game knowledge and you need small hooks, i guess even pros would have a hard time doing these hooks on the first try

balami. 07/18/2024 10:53 PM

one example, i don't want to invest too much time rn, you can ask other players to test your map before you post it again to get some more feedback

execode_ 07/18/2024 10:55 PM

played it myself wasnt hard and i wouldnt consider myself a pro

execode_ 07/18/2024 10:55 PM

I do.

execode_ 07/18/2024 10:55 PM

you wont believe how long im trying to make a map but something is always off

soulyvevo 07/18/2024 10:56 PM

compared to most new novice maps its pretty dificult

soulyvevo 07/18/2024 10:56 PM

just check new map releases to see what testers expect from mappers

execode_ 07/18/2024 10:56 PM

so I have to make the parts easier? i though that before submitting

soulyvevo 07/18/2024 10:56 PM

not really easier but rather less annoying

balami. 07/18/2024 10:57 PM

i know that creating maps can be very difficult, i am not saying that it's easy

execode_ 07/18/2024 10:57 PM

its my first try on ddnet map tho cuz i think its bit easier than doing gore maps

execode_ 07/18/2024 10:58 PM

idk what new maps are.

balami. 07/18/2024 10:59 PM

https://ddnet.org/ranks/novice/ they are listed by date

balami. 07/18/2024 10:59 PM

at least the first few 😅

soulyvevo 07/18/2024 10:59 PM
soulyvevo 07/18/2024 11:00 PM

but dont look at oldschool server maps

balami. 07/18/2024 11:00 PM

you can also take a look at

#✅👶cliff_charge

or

#✅👶grell
execode_ 07/18/2024 11:01 PM

i think I played cliff charge today

execode_ 07/18/2024 11:01 PM

didnt really liked the gameplay tho

balami. 07/18/2024 11:02 PM

grell is a little different, maybe you like that one more

execode_ 07/18/2024 11:13 PM

yeah looks good

.cammo. 07/19/2024 3:28 AM

just because it's not hard doesn't mean it's good

jeanclovis0387_91215 07/19/2024 9:24 AM

It's hard to judge difficulty when you're the mapper. I can relate

execode_ 07/20/2024 2:29 AM

can I send reworked parts here or do i have to submit again?

soulyvevo 07/20/2024 3:54 AM
@execode_

i dont think any rework would fix this map, i would recommend starting from scratch

soulyvevo 07/20/2024 3:54 AM

and this map got already declined so you would have to submit again

execode_ 07/20/2024 3:56 AM

doing rn

execode_ 07/20/2024 3:56 AM
execode_ 07/20/2024 3:57 AM

would that be better?

execode_ 07/20/2024 3:57 AM

ima make the part little easier

execode_ 07/20/2024 4:05 AM
comebackplay 07/20/2024 10:02 AM

better ask in

#mapping
comebackplay 07/20/2024 10:06 AM

for me this an idea is boring.

execode_ 07/20/2024 10:07 AM

comebackplay 07/20/2024 10:07 AM
