@balami.

That’s what happens if you try to map with mechanics in reverse.

steinchen99 04/13/2025 10:31 PM

reverse decline?

balami. 04/13/2025 10:31 PM

the speeder bug is because i use the old speed tiles? also i can't find the 2nd speedup i think i only used one, maybe im blind

The bot sees a tile that i don't see help

catseyenebulous 04/13/2025 10:33 PM

Probably.

catseyenebulous 04/13/2025 10:35 PM

Can try to delete the layer and then add the speedup again if it’s just one tile.

balami. 04/13/2025 10:36 PM

the bug scans for old speeders now? it's a bit early?

balami. 04/13/2025 10:36 PM

i mean the thing shouldn't matter.. i can remove one of the speeders but i would like to keep the other

catseyenebulous 04/13/2025 10:37 PM

I thought it scans for the new ones to be honest. xD

balami. 04/13/2025 10:37 PM

I used the old speeders.

balami. 04/13/2025 10:37 PM

How do i even fix this

catseyenebulous 04/13/2025 10:38 PM

You can ignore it but I’m more curious about the ghost tile.

balami. 04/13/2025 10:39 PM

actually...

balami. 04/13/2025 10:41 PM
@patiga

the bot found a ghost tile in this version. my cursor is not visible, but on the top right you see the coordinates 7, 305 where the bot sees a speeder but i don't. also it seems like the bot is complaining about the old speeder tile but it should only matter with max speed speeders? and the new version is not published afaik so how am i supposed to use the new speeders (i mean i could download a release candidate but imo it's too early to change the bot)

balami. 04/13/2025 10:52 PM

Also i might have missed an update, there is no update button in the client? Okay kinda off topic. However i am manually upgrading now to fix the thing the bot mentions. Imo the bot should only mention max speed speeders (afaik only those are changed)

blaiszephyr 04/13/2025 10:52 PM

The new speeders were included in the 19.1 update

balami. 04/13/2025 10:52 PM

But where is my upgrade to 19.1 button

blaiszephyr 04/13/2025 10:53 PM

Probably a broken client :p - sometimes the auto updater is broken

catseyenebulous 04/13/2025 11:10 PM

Do it?

Takes a moment to get on the test servers and I am not home to do it manually but you can try it on lan. 🙂

matatass 04/13/2025 11:17 PM

oke

matatass 04/14/2025 2:12 AM

Cool map i rly like the parts not ultra hard but also not ez, desing its also cool and cute.

matatass 04/14/2025 2:12 AM

i dont like this part

matatass 04/14/2025 2:13 AM

i feel like the ending its just not cool

matatass 04/14/2025 2:13 AM

but the rest of the map its funy

matatass 04/14/2025 2:13 AM
_splity 04/14/2025 2:21 AM

finish the map in about 30 mins i rlly enjoy almost all parts i dont like this part i dont find fun at all shooting the dummy just my opinion

_splity 04/14/2025 2:21 AM

and in this parts idk if i did it correct but i think a wall there would make the part better

_splity 04/14/2025 2:27 AM

good map the drags are 100x times better than drag master

_splity 04/14/2025 2:28 AM

i rlly enjoy ur dummy map ❤️

kickerx 04/14/2025 7:17 AM

very cool map. imo could be released as it is now (but i didnt check for design bugs)

balami. 04/14/2025 7:49 AM

Thanks for all the feedback!

balami. 04/14/2025 7:49 AM

That part is a bit controversial it seems, would be hard for me to find a replacement part that fits there i guess, but i will think about it..

balami. 04/14/2025 7:50 AM

My way to do the part is a direct shot, did you do a wallshot on the 1x1 wall tile?

_splity 04/14/2025 7:50 AM

yeah

_splity 04/14/2025 7:51 AM

no actually i shoot the tps and the sg bounce XD likke this

steinchen99 04/14/2025 8:47 AM

I genuinely was so confused the first few seconds on why shotgun didn't push me Amazing map though, enjoyed it

balami. 04/14/2025 9:06 AM

I get you, the anti push shotgun tune can be confusing

omegakysiku 04/14/2025 11:40 AM

for some reason at this part i couldnt figure out u had to sg him down (maybe brain usse) can u pls put an arrow hinting that u have to sg him down

omegakysiku 04/14/2025 11:40 AM

and i find this long sg shot reall just annoying + the catch

omegakysiku 04/14/2025 11:41 AM

other than that the map is very fun

omegakysiku 04/14/2025 11:41 AM

(maybe even your best map

)

nameless_me 04/14/2025 12:33 PM

amazing map, so glad he spelled out the rcon password in hieroglyphics

oxyzo. 04/14/2025 2:12 PM

reverse push? So like push shotgun but reversed.. so like.. normal shotgun?

patiga 04/14/2025 3:35 PM

The new speedups also differ to old speedups without max_speed set. They take the valramp effect into account that slows you down, and make sure that you don't slow down as an effect of the speedup. This was the reasoning of discouraging the use of the old speedups once the new speedups are in. This effect won't be observable in most cases where you use weak speedups, as you won't be fast enough

catseyenebulous 04/14/2025 5:11 PM

Broken map. 🥲 Played it with Welf and also found some optimizations. Details with the changelog. :)

balami. 04/14/2025 10:35 PM

(changelog in the next message)

balami. 04/14/2025 10:47 PM

First the big changes:

  • fixed a bug where you could keep hammer (spawning at the same time as your dummy would skip the hammer off tile)
  • i tried to make part 21 more intuitive
  • reworked part 24 i hope it's better now (old way still works)
  • the last part is slightly harder and you can do an extra shot into finish now Also many small fixes such as:
  • added some pullers so you can't shotgun fly skip at tp 23
  • changed some hookthrough tiles into hookables at tp 37 to avoid a boring alternative way
  • tried to fix the no shotgun strat at 41 by making it slightly tighter (normal way still works fine)
  • slightly simplified the transition from the prelast part to the last part
  • deleted the to teles in the middle of three and moved one to tele 36 slightly for a better setup
  • fixed tiny graphical bugs like corners, wrong markings or missing markings

I don't think thats drinkable, 0/10

essigautomat 04/15/2025 10:14 AM

There was a bug with one of the 18.x versions with the update button missing

balami. 04/15/2025 10:17 AM

Yes.. i didnt notice that bug

blaiszephyr 04/18/2025 9:48 PM

map looks pretty much ready to me, the only thing that currently bugs me are the 3 arrows on this part - you can just throw him up on the right side against the stopper, shotgun him once and thats it

3 arrows feels weird

blaiszephyr 04/18/2025 10:02 PM

i also didnt really get this part - you can just chill and shotgun him out of the pit and drag him up - is there an actual mechanic thats supposed to be involved?

blaiszephyr 04/18/2025 10:07 PM
blaiszephyr 04/18/2025 10:11 PM

or maybe just change the arrows direction so they're not vertically :p

anthonyyx 04/18/2025 10:25 PM

why is this not called Pull ur Dummy as a word play on your other map

anthonyyx 04/18/2025 10:26 PM

and then u can use a similar logo as the other and do something cool with "sh" being replaced by "ll"

catseyenebulous 04/18/2025 10:36 PM

That?

catseyenebulous 04/18/2025 10:36 PM

I think it could be made a little harder.

balami. 04/18/2025 10:42 PM

they are supposed to indicate the shotgun shot, because some players had trouble understanding the part, but the arrows are not important to me i can remove them

balami. 04/18/2025 10:44 PM

funny idea but i don't have the logo creating skills tho, also the map has a different style than push your dummy (at first i planned it to be more similar, the first parts are indicating that, but then i found cooler parts that didn't fit to what i wanted to create haha)

balami. 04/18/2025 10:47 PM

please wait with the 2nd ready there are still people giving me feedback and i am a bit busy this weekend 🙏

blaiszephyr 04/19/2025 6:19 AM

Yeah, maybe enforce that you need DJ or something so you can't just skip it

anthonyyx 04/19/2025 7:00 AM

ill wait for Pull ur Dummy then

doshikey 04/19/2025 9:45 AM

please remove all arrows, they do nothing but confuse and prevent fun of discovering part yourself, also what even is this

catseyenebulous 04/19/2025 11:02 AM

I do not see how the arrows could be confusing. And please state your issue with the part shown. People can have different interpretations of ‘what even is this’.

doshikey 04/19/2025 11:05 AM

not especially this part but those arrows in front of tele, showing the path, imo this doesn't make any sense

balami. 04/19/2025 11:11 AM

in entities you don't see the difference between the "good" and the "bad" teleporters, that's why they indicate where to go. i started using arrows to indicate shotgun shots at some parts, because the players wouldn't understand what to do (i don't want them to ragequit early because they struggle to understand a part). the map is quite long and less experienced players should have an easier time with some help.

blaiszephyr 04/19/2025 11:51 AM

I consider this map on the easier side (thats why i suggested 2 - tho mechanically it could be 3, depending on how proficient one is with shotgun) - so i find the arrows to be a helpful little extra for newer players. I wouldn't remove them personally.

coke1465 04/19/2025 5:08 PM

i dont think new players play 2* dummy maps, new players should play novice 1-5

coke1465 04/19/2025 5:08 PM

its same rating like solo

coke1465 04/19/2025 5:09 PM

i would just add the missing freezes behind the arrows and its fine, if the mapper want to give instruction about his map, why not

kickerx 04/21/2025 10:54 PM

played the map again. once again nice map)

i dont see anything critical what should be changed. only tele 24 was still annoying for me, but i dont see how it could be changed in a good way without breaking the idea of this part and its not big deal anyway

When double reverse push?

gorp_tw 04/22/2025 4:28 AM

has nothing to do with the map at all but thanks Welf for returning time and time again to the ddnet community just to drop cool maps on us 🙂 u are appreciated (or i guess he never left idfk)

  • reworked tp 24 again, the easy way is slightly harder now and the speedrun way should also be harder (catseyenebulous)
  • moved the unfreeze line 1 to the left at tp 37 (J$ON)
  • removed the alternative strat at tp 39 (still possible but much more annoying) (melon) and fixed an issue with the puller (catseyenebulous)
  • reworked the ending for smoother speedrunning (catseyenebulous)
  • minor graphic changes like missing design/entities

on this map upload the bot didn't update it (or maybe it's just slow?) i tried to reproduce that in the message above (map + changelog text) but couldn't reproduce the issue. also uploading again worked...

Maybe it's pulling latest master or rebuilding or something. I was updating twmap today in order to detect ghost speedups like yours @Welf 🙂 btw thank you for making me aware of this issue. The bot was right with the detections

essigautomat 04/22/2025 2:03 PM

you are also not on latest, the new doors might look even better with that map 👍

@balami.

your map has just been released, and you now have a 2-week grace period to identify and resolve any unnoticed bugs or skips. After these two weeks, only design and quality of life (QoL) fixes will be allowed, provided they don't impact the leaderboard rankings. Be aware that significant gameplay changes may impact and lead to the removal of ranks. Good luck with your map!

Like push, but in reverse.

oxyzo. 04/26/2025 7:38 PM

normal shotgun reverse is push shotgun, push shotgun reversed is normal shotgun so its like just normal shotgun
