There are already too many maps like that one which are actually good (good as in good for oldschool). The parts are too repetitive and essentially boring

The design is too painful to watch

$decline

, I redid almost all of the parts and removed the repetitive ones. I replaced the horrible background and fixed the bugs in the tileset. I'd like to upload the map again, if you don't mind. But I'm not sure if it now counts as oldschool after changing parts or if it needs to be uploaded as a new map?

Sure, you can upload it. And that's a good question I can't answer for now, you can do it here

, one more question. I used a lot of quads for the clouds because I wanted to make it look like we're among the clouds, but

says it's not good to use so many quads. Is there really a problem with that? If so, I'll redo the clouds and other design issues, of course, if you approve the gameplay part

$reset

so it doesnt vanish

You can't rename the file here (unless there is a way to do it)

Otherwise the bot won't recognize it

$change name DDPika_remake

Removed the tile with an invalid id

Who of you remade the gameplay ?

I, but Imperius helped me

Well it's really good now

:O your the Striped Clouds mapper, i absolutely love it

Thanks

Most of the time it's 1 player doing the part and the other one just drags him out but it should be ok

Like on the most oldschool maps

Yeah

i were rank 1 there once with 160 minutes

really great to see you back mapping. Planning to do new maps also?

Could you join me on my server ?

I haven't thought about it yet. It was Imperius who made me redo my old map

Lol those values

-286 862,594° in 48 hours

360° is just fine for a full cycle

A time period of 6 mn (360s) would be good

$waiting

It looks like a 3* moderate

are we going to release it as moderate map?
I would like to keep it as oldschool as long as it doesnt contain ddnet features. We did that for recent reworks too

3 star moderate is like around 2 star oldschool i think

probably lol

We did it for inception oldschool but most of us agreed it shouldn't be on oldschool then time passed and we forgot

That's why I don't know what we should do with such maps, we are discussing it

But once again, I'm impressed by that map

It's really great

I wish we had good maps like that again instead of that terrible trend with those blockers

nah actually there are more reworks than that. For example LichKing was totally changed and we decided to keep it ad oldschool. I dont like the pure definition of oldschool that it must be only done before ddnet but the style and the parts wont count much in the rating. I mean the category is for old maps but as long a rework keeps the oldschool flair it should stay on oldschool

1. Fixed the animations.
2. Some minor fixes in two parts.

Added unfreeze in this part. Now it works fine.

Added freeze next to the hookthrough wall and tp on the edge of the platform.

The unhookable flickers when you move around

You could change the color or the distance between the hatching

Or make them \\\

Unmarked unfreeze

Flying entity

I don't think it's relevant, just want to make sure you know about it

Should be ready after that

Reminder : 2*

$waiting

1. Removed random flying entity.
2. I made the distance between the hatching bigger. But I don't know is it less flickery now? If it isn't, I can try to use the same tile for the unhook as for the hook.

maybe add a new unfreeze design? btw u cant see the unfreeze design with hd off

oh i saw now u already added a unfreeze design like this 😄 then use it for the screens i sended

$waiting

and maybe use the big lines for the unhooks too but \\

I may not understand something, but what is the point of marking unfreeze which is not necessary to see?

imo u should mark unfreeze like this (screenshots)

u can set it to the ground and just add flowers

we have a little improvement for this drag part

the wall one more left and down there 2 more tele to force the drag? there is one more cheat but its annoying.. cheat at tp7 is cool

the logos looking blurry

cool map, should be ready after that

if u want to fix the second cheat add here unhookable (part works good without hookable there)

I thought the unfreeze doesn't really matter, he uses flowers for it and it's oldschool

Maybe just remove the unfreeze in game here

It's fine as it is

since its a remake i see no problem to fix the cheats 🤷‍♂️

if u try it without hookable u will realise its rly nice timing

(think u mean all the edites)

It's better now. Maybe the strips could be lighter so it doesn't hurt so much

I would leave cheats

as it is a remake we thought it would be cool to fix the skip, it was just an idea/suggestion i/we often have for maps

Lighter like that (see the strips)

1. removed/moved/marked unfreeze in the places that Coke mentioned about.
2. moved 10 totp out of the freeze.
3. redid the drag part as Coke suggested.
4. fixed the skip at 7 tp.
5. made the stripes on the unhook lighter as Pipou suggested.

its bugged now

idk if its me but i cant see whats hook and unhook

maybe bcs the outlines

what u mean by skip at tp7? (u can still do it without hook)

u can jump and hammer there, but its nice

unfreeze in totele missing

$waiting

The idea is that if we take into account the fact that two people go through the map, then in the old version it was possible for both of them to go from below (blue arrow), but now with the same conditions it is impossible for two players to go through this part from below, because in any case you need player on top.

ok

u want to force that hook? or leave it

speedups down would fix it if u want

want to force

🤷‍♂️

maybe try speedups down all the way

it's does not help, only if we put tp's upper

or switch

u can use stopper there too

im sure u will find a good solution

will try, but later, thx for advices

i think "hook others off" will help on this section, but not sure will it looks good

u can jump there and hammer

$reset

not fully done

the fixes

the unhook is hard to look at and flickery again

maybe do it like this?

Ok, I'll redo it this way

Replaced tiles for unhook

ok looks all clear now

$optimize

$ready 2
