i dont consider this map as race imo should be solo instead due the parts are not one that you can "run" without interruptions idk if i explain myself

Arrow 07/17/2022 7:11 AM

really cool map btw

Knuski 07/17/2022 8:15 AM

But 1hook is also on race?

FightFire 07/17/2022 9:28 AM

i also think this map fits the requirements of race, 1hook is an example, that can be a race map so this can be a race map too

cyberfighter 07/17/2022 2:32 PM

map feels like starkiller made it

I.K.U 07/17/2022 2:48 PM

PotatoEater 07/25/2022 7:55 AM

Wasn't able to play whole map since I am not that good solo player, but i found this little skip at the beginning.

PotatoEater 07/25/2022 8:06 AM

Rocket is visible on left but on right it is hidden

PotatoEater 07/25/2022 8:40 AM

I am not saying that it is wrong that the rocket thing is incorrect since you teleport on it and get it immediatly, but it might be questionable for example if player doesnt have (auto pick up weapon) setting on

Pipou 09/29/2022 10:47 AM

512*256 should be more than enough

Pipou 09/29/2022 10:47 AM

try 256*128 or 64 then if it's blurry, double the size

Pipou 09/29/2022 10:51 AM

Any race players could give their opinion on the map ? The feeling, the flow, the difficulty, if there is anything to change or improve ? If it's worth a release ?

@MTJ

I know nothing of race, what's the rating ? According to you and others especially because you might be biased as it's your map

Pipou 10/02/2022 10:42 AM

Why the shields there ?

MTJ 10/02/2022 12:14 PM

it's 5stars

MTJ 10/02/2022 12:15 PM

and u can watch the demo, the shields are for avoiding skip

Pipou 10/02/2022 12:45 PM

Can you show me the skip ?

MTJ 10/02/2022 12:45 PM

MTJ 10/02/2022 12:53 PM

so i can remove them?

Pipou 10/02/2022 12:55 PM

Sure and the rockets

Pipou 10/02/2022 12:55 PM

on both parts

MTJ 10/02/2022 12:56 PM
MTJ 10/02/2022 12:58 PM

im a perfectionist so i cannot allow any skip. but i like the big skip at the final part of 1hook xd

Pipou 10/02/2022 1:07 PM

The question is, is it cheatable ?

Pipou 10/02/2022 1:07 PM

I don't see how shields are preventing anything

MTJ 10/02/2022 1:08 PM

alright i remove it temporarily and add it back if it is cheatable.

Arrow 10/05/2022 5:20 PM

A lot of people disagreed with my by changing to solo so it was kept as a race

ano 10/05/2022 5:22 PM

just because the only weapon is nade =/= race map, this map is like a baby version of airnade ultra, there is 0 flow, highly debatable which category part nade maps go into but it feels so much more for solo category imo

Pipou 10/05/2022 5:24 PM

The category can always be changed

Arrow 10/05/2022 5:29 PM
@Knuski

ano 10/05/2022 5:36 PM

1hook shouldnt be on race aswell, but tbh i dont really care if players want to get 10 precious points for completing a hard race map

Pipou 10/05/2022 5:57 PM
@ano

What difficulty should it be ?

Knuski 10/05/2022 5:58 PM

im fine with whatever

ano 10/05/2022 6:03 PM

5 stars for sure but this map is jsut so boring just like all airnade maps , its just so monotone retrying the same part 100x times until you find the perfect shot

ano 10/05/2022 6:03 PM

one of starkillers previous "race" map similar to 1hook got declined aswell

ano 10/05/2022 6:03 PM

same style

ano 10/05/2022 6:07 PM

i checked it was run_forfreezy

Pipou 10/06/2022 10:02 AM

Still waiting for that version

FightFire 10/06/2022 11:19 AM

He should be busy in school these days, and it may take a month to update

FightFire 10/06/2022 11:20 AM

I`m his friend btw

Pipou 10/06/2022 11:24 AM

Oh ok

Pipou 10/06/2022 11:24 AM

Would he want me to do it for him ?

FightFire 10/06/2022 11:25 AM

Let me ask him and I'll get back to you later

Pipou 10/06/2022 11:25 AM

Ok sure thanks 🙂

Pipou 10/07/2022 4:05 PM
@FightFire

So what does he think ?

FightFire 10/07/2022 4:10 PM

He hasn't answered me yet

FightFire 10/07/2022 4:11 PM

He probably doesn't have a phone or a pc nearby

Pipou 10/07/2022 4:12 PM

Ah

Pipou 10/07/2022 4:35 PM

What about run antibuguse ?

Pipou 10/07/2022 4:35 PM

I'm still trying to define if it should either be race or solo

Pipou 10/07/2022 4:36 PM

I think it belongs to the race category to be consistent with the other rocket maps

ano 10/07/2022 4:46 PM

antibuguse feels more like a race map even though it doesnt look like it, you work towards getting nade with "gores 😂", i mean you cant really make an opinion about it because its so old map. part race maps lacks connection between the parts, i would say this map is an actual race map if it would have like filler sections between the actual parts

Pipou 10/07/2022 4:47 PM

👍 Thanks for helping

ano 10/07/2022 4:48 PM

its so baaad to place a map in the category because previously other maps went into that category "wrongly" (imo)

Pipou 10/07/2022 4:50 PM

Yeah, I'm not a race player and I was trying to be coherent with "similar" maps

Pipou 10/07/2022 4:51 PM

But you have a far better opinion on the matter than me

FJP 10/07/2022 4:52 PM

I agree, due to the lack of flow in the map and just straight up parts, it feels like it would be a better fit as a solo map. Its not a good race map if there isn't good flow

Pipou 10/07/2022 4:59 PM
@ano

Should I ask for "1hook" to be moved to the solo category then ?

Pipou 10/07/2022 5:00 PM

Also, do you believe this part is skippable without shields ?

Pipou 10/07/2022 5:01 PM

"1hook" is being moved to solo

Pipou 10/07/2022 5:01 PM

So it stays consistent

ano 10/07/2022 5:02 PM
ano 10/07/2022 5:02 PM

i need to test the part

ano 10/07/2022 5:02 PM

i dont have time now

Pipou 10/07/2022 5:03 PM

Alright, I'll wait for your feedback then ! 🙂

Supdef 10/09/2022 11:21 AM

differentiating between race/solo in terms of gameplay and design seems awfully prescriptive to me. Like, there exist countless race maps which don't have flow or anything but were/are intended, mapped and understood as race maps. Defining race maps as maps which do not rely on ddrace entities, but rather solely on race entities makes much more sense to me and would be more descriptive.

Pipou 10/11/2022 12:34 AM
@FightFire

Tell MTJ to make it "less perfect"

FightFire 10/11/2022 3:00 AM

he hasn't answered the first question yet btw

MTJ hasn't given me any reply yet, but I personally think he will follow tester's ideas.

Pipou 11/04/2022 1:44 PM

Several great race/rocket players have tested the map and they all said pixel perfect is not so good

Pipou 11/04/2022 1:44 PM

Also, what do you mean by cheatable

Knuski 11/04/2022 3:31 PM

i agree

MTJ 11/05/2022 12:39 AM

the changes i made to this map make it possible for players to cheat, but the probability is really low.

Pipou 11/05/2022 12:42 AM
@MTJ

Show me a cheat

MTJ 11/05/2022 12:42 AM

ok i try to find the demo

Pipou 11/06/2022 7:03 PM
@ano

What do you think of it now ?

Pipou 11/06/2022 7:03 PM

And about run_birming being a solo map instead of a race map

Pipou 11/07/2022 1:52 PM

$change server solo

hopetez 11/09/2022 9:52 PM

^ I agree with supdef, this is race, 1hook and run_birming is also race and while we are at the topic of moving categories, maps like fly out of hell (flyrace) and run_guy_25 is also race, flow was never an indicator if a map is race or not, there were challenge maps back then aswell, like get_to1000 etc.

Cøke 11/10/2022 6:53 PM

Yes it's race

Pipou 11/10/2022 7:40 PM

Everyone has a different opinion about that

Pipou 11/10/2022 7:42 PM

It has already been discussed (scroll a bit)

Tsin 11/10/2022 10:45 PM

I would consider this map as a race map. Checked the map and it don't use anything that wasn't in original race mod (race mod features). There also were plenty of this kind of maps in original race era. Back in the days I wouldn't have any problems in running it on original race mod on RacemaX (shields would be the only problem but they got removed xD).

Decission is yours =]

J$ON 12/07/2022 9:53 AM

is the "normal" way = double on top?

J$ON 12/07/2022 9:54 AM

i dont like the TP placement, the part is so unsmooth and the "cheat" way is easier

MTJ 12/07/2022 9:56 AM

but the cheat way is almost impossible

J$ON 12/07/2022 9:57 AM
J$ON 12/07/2022 9:57 AM

with the normal way you could easily get through but TP2 is blocking the way and its just annoying

J$ON 12/07/2022 9:59 AM

if i could decide between using an double and always hitting TP2 or doing the cheat way and still always hit TP2, i would choose the cheat way

J$ON 12/07/2022 9:59 AM

should def change it

MTJ 12/07/2022 10:00 AM
