ramirok_ 03/01/2026 1:55 PM

ramirok_ 03/01/2026 1:56 PM

repetitive

ramirok_ 03/01/2026 1:56 PM

ramirok_ 03/01/2026 2:04 PM

le_cannabis 03/01/2026 2:05 PM

There's not much to talk about, sorry. Try doing parts with different movements or something like that.

ramirok_ 03/01/2026 2:06 PM

unmarked stopers and telegun logo

ramirok_ 03/01/2026 2:06 PM

kakkek53 03/01/2026 2:13 PM

There are already 4 maps that have not been accepted on DDNet 💀

le_cannabis 03/01/2026 2:13 PM

see what you did wrong and do better, 4 rejected maps is very little

kakkek53 03/01/2026 2:14 PM

I thought it was a lot.

kakkek53 03/01/2026 2:17 PM

Why can't an AI logo be used?

le_cannabis 03/01/2026 2:25 PM

Why is it AI

kakkek53 03/01/2026 2:27 PM

What? I don't know English, maybe the translator translated it wrong.

le_cannabis 03/01/2026 2:28 PM

It is a rule of mapping not to use AI

.freezy_ 03/01/2026 3:09 PM

I don’t think we’ve ever come to a conclusion on that actually

le_cannabis 03/01/2026 3:11 PM

hmmmm but the logo is very simple he could have just done it in Photoshop or something idk

ds273 03/01/2026 10:53 PM

if there are officially published ddnet maps with AI-generated imagery in them, then there is an argument that we might have to tag the steam page for the game with the "made with AI" tag, which would likely result in a loss of new players. this doesn't apply to if some rando nobody's server hosts a map with ai generated stuff, but ddnet kinda has responsibility both for the steam listing of the game and any maps they decide to accept and publish on official ddnet servers

ham5terzilla 03/02/2026 3:22 PM

I guess you can apply logic, that in steam, it's only a client, and content of servers reachable is not counts. Otherwise, I can say, here is a lot of AI related stuff in whole TeeWorlds and if you not agree with initial statement, then we should scale it up, and put "ai things" lable because someone somewhere not related to ddnet and other official communities used AI.

ds273 03/02/2026 10:45 PM

I feel like I was pretty clear in my post that unofficial servers shouldn't count

like, here in the USA (so ya i know, not universal) i'd argue there's a legal distinction between maps on official ddnet servers and like anything on unofficial player hosted servers or services

in the US, ddnet gets pretty decent cover from being 'responsible' for third-party content (like unofficial servers) under section 230, so whatever happens on unofficial servers is irrelevant but official maps that actually get released have such special treatment and approval from ddnet that i'd argue it isnt third-party content anymore, so whatever gets accepted does reflect ddnet. the client also gives special treatment to ddnet-hosted servers since they are both maintained by the same group so thats not really third-party either.

but idk thats just my opinion

ramirok_ 03/03/2026 1:04 AM

louis hate ai :´v

ramirok_ 03/03/2026 1:04 AM

and he do a poll the other time

ramirok_ 03/03/2026 1:04 AM

ramirok_ 03/03/2026 1:04 AM

ramirok_ 03/03/2026 1:08 AM

but in my op

ramirok_ 03/03/2026 1:09 AM

ai need be ilegal on mapaping

frostribe 03/03/2026 1:03 PM

If louis is against AI then I agree with him. Fck AI slop... 0 effort bullshit

trophiie 03/04/2026 12:27 AM

I dont know isnt ddnet and ddrace completly seperate? the game wouldnt lose any functionality if all ddrace servers would shut down, so kinda think this isnt true.

.cammo. 03/04/2026 6:15 AM

?????

cookies_and_cream09315 03/04/2026 6:28 AM

They are technically as seperate as Microsoft and Windows so yes one would function without the other but ones Reputation reflects on the other

gorp_tw 03/04/2026 7:03 AM

why would the entire game be made with AI if a single map (made by users not the devs) had AI assets in it

gorp_tw 03/04/2026 7:04 AM

this is a crazy ass argument

gorp_tw 03/04/2026 7:04 AM

like ok let me pull up on any Steam Workshop, draw some lines, AI-ify it and then get the whole fuckin page tagged

gorp_tw 03/04/2026 7:05 AM

you would hope so but No they have been quantum entangled for eons and thats why we only get race features

gorp_tw 03/04/2026 7:05 AM

no??????

gorp_tw 03/04/2026 7:05 AM

this entire thread is ragebait

gorp_tw 03/04/2026 7:07 AM

ddrace predates ddnet

gorp_tw 03/04/2026 7:13 AM

ddnet client != ddnet network

gorp_tw 03/04/2026 7:15 AM

i think if anything this thread shows how cooked we are

ds273 03/04/2026 9:49 AM

ehhh i dont like the tone this conversation's moving towards so i'm out i do think there is actually potential nuance to this subject. the "ai art always looks bad!! no it doesnt!!" arguments obviously went in circles going nowhere, but i feel there are other actual possible considerations that haven't really been discussed much. but i guess trying to talk about those sorts of considerations is just gonna go in circles too from what i'm seeing here. prolly for the best since this is just some random rejected map's channel anyway

.freezy_ 03/04/2026 3:09 PM

There are simply too many unqualified opinions on this matter to actually take any of it seriously (relating to the mentioned thread). Discussing it properly is just not possible in the current surroundings and I don’t even want to. Personally I won’t enforce it but the views heavily split even within the testing team.

gorp_tw 03/04/2026 8:26 PM

there is a thread for this

#AI generated content on maps.

and i think you do raise good points.

gorp_tw 03/04/2026 8:26 PM

hadnt even considered section 230

ds273 03/04/2026 10:47 PM

yea maybe ill go back to that thread at some point when i feel more willing to handle these sorts of discussions
