BEST DDnet tester 08/09/2022 8:49 PM

they are

BEST DDnet tester 08/09/2022 8:49 PM

i mean its extra kb

louis 08/09/2022 8:50 PM

nobodys not lazy enough to delete those for 0.000000000005 less bytes

BEST DDnet tester 08/09/2022 8:50 PM

BEST DDnet tester 08/09/2022 8:50 PM

louis 08/09/2022 8:51 PM

louis 08/09/2022 8:51 PM

BEST DDnet tester 08/09/2022 8:52 PM

neat design

Lwai 08/09/2022 9:43 PM

im too dumb for the map though how to do this

Lwai 08/09/2022 9:51 PM

do it without louis showing u its way too big brain part

louis 08/09/2022 9:52 PM

he already got showed unfortunately

Lwai 08/09/2022 9:53 PM

nobody will figure this out and with nobody i mean nobody of the noobs that will think a 2 star climb map is reasonable for them

louis 08/09/2022 9:54 PM

hmm yeah true

Lwai 08/09/2022 9:54 PM

maybe u add some design help

Lwai 08/09/2022 9:54 PM

like arrows or lines or something

louis 08/09/2022 9:55 PM

i dont want to add too much hints or whatnot

louis 08/09/2022 9:55 PM

i guess i could either just change out the part, or make the whole map difficult/longer

louis 08/09/2022 9:55 PM

ill probably just change the part

Lwai 08/09/2022 9:56 PM

you can use that part on a different map maybe, like a puzzly big brain map

Ninjed 08/10/2022 12:06 AM

2 star maps never was easy. İ do remember how shotFF was impossible for me

Ninjed 08/10/2022 12:53 AM

or propagate by Element Finland, 2 star map with only 401 finish

louis 08/10/2022 12:55 AM

ye, i mean the last part isnt hard but its just very hard to figure out especially if you arent familiar with tricky parts

louis 08/10/2022 12:55 AM

so i think i will change it to something more straightforward

ᶰ°Konͧsti 08/10/2022 3:55 AM

Propagate ez map until they fixed my cheat

lynn 08/10/2022 5:14 AM

SG CLIMB MAP?

louis 08/10/2022 5:18 AM

its not really climb as in chill lets climb

Genex 08/10/2022 11:38 AM

I got This 1try idk

scdnh33 08/10/2022 10:40 PM

where is nouis moon

scdnh33 08/10/2022 10:40 PM

bad map

louis 08/10/2022 11:38 PM

Why wouldn't

I.K.U 08/11/2022 9:21 PM

very neat map

I.K.U 08/11/2022 9:21 PM

i think the map could use more doodas like at the spawn

I.K.U 08/11/2022 9:21 PM

it would look even cooler

I.K.U 08/11/2022 9:22 PM

$release

louis 08/11/2022 11:40 PM

thx

louis 08/11/2022 11:40 PM

and ok i will probably add more doodads

Souly 08/14/2022 10:21 PM

good map

Souly 08/14/2022 10:21 PM

parts require brain

Souly 08/14/2022 10:21 PM

rly short tho

Souly 08/14/2022 10:22 PM

and design too simple

Souly 08/14/2022 10:22 PM

missing corner in grass design here

Souly 08/14/2022 10:25 PM

i would also suggest to move this cp somewhere right here

Souly 08/14/2022 10:25 PM

because it makes it annoying to replay the part (or i just did it the unintended way)

Souly 08/14/2022 10:26 PM

maybe also mark that you need to get shotgun here

Souly 08/14/2022 10:27 PM

players might jump straight to this platform without noticing that its there

louis 08/22/2022 12:37 AM

i didnt do this cus if u failed the first sg there then u fall all way back to last cp

louis 08/22/2022 12:38 AM

i dont wanna make new markings and i think u can see it on the ground near spawn at normal zooz so if possible id like to just leave it as is

louis 08/22/2022 12:47 AM

ok but im lazy af so ill just do small stuff like this around the map

louis 08/22/2022 12:47 AM
louis 08/22/2022 12:47 AM

louis 08/24/2022 10:26 PM

his hourly rate is too high

Ravie 08/25/2022 12:08 PM

nice map

Ravie 08/25/2022 12:08 PM

not a fan of the freeze color though, maybe something like this?

Derp 08/26/2022 7:17 PM

nice map! Does layer #5 have a use?

Derp 08/26/2022 7:18 PM

And the old tree looked nicer imo

louis 08/26/2022 7:44 PM

ill try some other colors, that blue is a bit contrasting for my liking tho

louis 08/26/2022 7:44 PM

ill check

Voxel 08/26/2022 7:47 PM

maybe an in between color of the two?

Arrow 08/27/2022 10:07 PM

forgot about time cps here

Arrow 08/27/2022 10:14 PM
Arrow 08/27/2022 10:16 PM

well, i think its okay on this type of map have a multiple way to do parts, but just to mention you can do it like this, idk if its even the intended way tho xD

Arrow 08/27/2022 10:17 PM
Arrow 08/27/2022 10:24 PM

and same for the colors, the orange/yellow could match a lil (in different tones ofc) also the grass thing on the hook doesnt look good

louis 08/27/2022 10:46 PM

that is intended, if there is another way then idk

louis 08/27/2022 10:47 PM

wym

Arrow 08/27/2022 10:55 PM

the colours on the unhookable design

Arrow 08/27/2022 10:56 PM

you could search smth between orange and yellow

louis 08/27/2022 10:56 PM

idk, i like unhookable

louis 08/27/2022 10:56 PM

might change hookable tho

louis 08/28/2022 12:16 AM

this is pic that design is based on btw

Arrow 08/28/2022 12:29 AM

maybe if u put this mountain on the bg of the maps the colors of the unhook could look "better"

Welshi 08/28/2022 8:18 PM

I personally thing the backdrop is really nice and fits well with the colors

Patiga 09/06/2022 6:45 PM

that is something I might change. in that layer there is rotated/mirrored air tiles, which the tool will try to keep intact

Patiga 09/06/2022 6:45 PM

I might, before saving a map, remove mirrored/rotated air tiles

Patiga 09/06/2022 6:46 PM

teeworlds 0.7 actually already does this iirc, because that is significant for their tilemap optimization

FJP 09/11/2022 8:45 PM

absolutely fantastic map and creative name

Pipou 09/29/2022 7:33 PM

The plants are chopped, add it to your grass.png which you could also merge with papayagrass.png

Pipou 09/29/2022 7:34 PM

White image weigh less then colored ones

Pipou 09/29/2022 7:37 PM

Resize your images (format : 16,32,64,128,256,512...)

Pipou 09/29/2022 7:38 PM

You could also add some of those stones (those in the first screenshot) and plants all over the map, otherwise it feels empty

Pipou 09/29/2022 7:40 PM

I'll $ready it when it's done as a 2* map

Pipou 09/29/2022 7:40 PM

louis 09/29/2022 8:06 PM

bros making me do extra work 😭

Pipou 09/29/2022 8:08 PM

😂

louis 09/29/2022 8:09 PM

ill fix them

louis 09/29/2022 8:09 PM

i wanted to keep it relatively barren

Pipou 09/29/2022 8:13 PM

Ah

Pipou 09/29/2022 8:13 PM

It's up to you then, it just looks too flat but that's just me

fixed file dimensions added papaygrass to grass didnt add the quad plants to tilesets, would need multiple layers + different offsets, i prefer the freedom w/ quads made images white
