this is your map's testing channel! Post map updates here and remember to follow our mapper rules: https://ddnet.org/rules
Map :lady_beetle: :
most of the parts are cheatable some example (wont screen all but it's almost all parts) for the gore button part, you have to know that button work for both tee even when you are in solo
startline skip, stoppers are cheatable easily
you can still hook, + using this type of entities are not needed most of the time, there is better way to change the parts to not be cheatable without this anti gun
some free skip
some part are ok, but it can be developed more, also care with cheat for all parts and take time to test. the structure is a bit tight sometime, and the design could be more interesting. it's not in our current standards so we are going for a decline
Your map submission has been declined.
Can I re-send it with everything ok or is there no point?
of course you can, and you can ask if you have question. don't forgot to take time and test.
ok, but should I remove all the skips I found?
hmm it's better, with experience some mapper create some skip way but it's hard to do one well done (like not free or not too hard, not skipping too much)
When you fix your skips try fixing the parts and not the skips. What I mean with this is that you shouldn't just keep the same parts and add stoppers/switches to prevent players from skipping but instead improve the parts and make them cleaner/better ^^'
Are they just errors in the parts?
Is the rest ok?
skip here
a lot of ways to skip this
i see no reason for these stoppers being in here
Parts like this make the gameplay really unintuitive imo
I also dislike spots like this it makes it easier for people to block each other
a lot of parts that require you to go back and forth
the map is good but lacking the design
just classic grass everywhere and too much open space
The initial goal was sand + grass, but I don't have a tileset xd
switches are global, meaning the door will open for everyone no matter if they are in solo or not
How do you make the switch only for people on the Solo??
as far as i know you cant really do that
just replace switch with something else like a ninja idk
And ye the design needs some work
You can check out https://teedata.net/mapres for some custom mapres
if you want to stick with the vanilla style design i suggest looking at maps like https://ddnet.org/mappreview/?map=Tangerine
greenade also has nice design with vanilla assets
just add some doodads tbf
and something in the background, either mountains+clouds or alternatively (and what i recommend) some cave midground + background
what is it "tbf" ?
sorry just ignore that
it means 'to be fair' but i meant 'to be honest' (i.e. my opinion)
ok 🙃

Include a changelog alongside your map updates (preferably with screenshots).
i understand this as a rework
Moved channel back to TESTING.
desing is really basic, and the whole map needs to be filled with "game" layer not just the top. overall it is a great map and i found no other mistakes. (please fix automap too, some parts have same thing on and on)
skip
pretty sure you dont need stoppers here, even if for extra safety, looks very easy to pull of even without
looks cursed
wait i didnt spot the red dot in the corner
yikes
this is an easy skip and can be done with 1 player
u just pulled out a part from easyright3, make ur parts more unique
cursed
otherwise only the basic desing and automap hurts me (automap for ht)
many cheat and big cheat still exist, many stoppers badly use
arrow don't make sense
some problems on parts, should test and develop more (just an example but it's for all the map)
too much shield not needed
avoid using tp like this
still cheatable
you forgot stopper so you can just pass the parts, using switch is bad (there is better way to fix the cheat) the waters are weird and different some stopper needed
hard to see in design the difference between unhook and HT
still too much problems, also it's better to close the map and not connect to much or the cheat are easy.
