do test servers have deepfly off by default?

because this map has no server setting for deepfly off, but deepfly still doesnt work

that makes the whole map skippable from this part

oops i forgot to turn off deepfly

no it's not on servers by default, you have to add 'sv_deepfly 1'

then why is deepfly working on lan server

i don't know

could it be a regional issue?

I am sure that deepfly is disabled by default

no its just the ddnet server configs

deepfly is on by default on dummy servs so add sv_deepfly 0

i was thinking the same before yayita.

default val is also 1 so if your lan serv doesnt have sv_deepfly 0 in autoexec then it will have deepfly

it is not

Huh

Ok I'll fix it

hey, this map have good part, but try to use less switch and other special entities.

you should be carefull when it's an open map, and even more when they is jetpack. we can cheat 50% of the map.

here is an exemple of to much switch, you can easily make the same part without it. red : switch is useless because you can't have 2 players on top + you can't go back and cheat map from up black : deep is useless + you can change a bit the part to not use switch at start + if you pass the switch then fail the part u have to go back to teleport.

here is the same, red : useless switch ( make sure u can't cheat with 2 tees on top) green : i'am not fan of hook teleport but it's ok i guess + sometime spawn is 2 tiles up from ground and sometime it's upper. black : some blocker are useless. blue : the part with switch is kinda weird + you don't neet to put switch off (t's open by default) you can use in serv settings "switch_open number of the switch".

this part is unbalanced because when you hook horizontally, depend on timing and movement but it's very hard to rehook the tee with dj.

delete the spawn in red, if you don't hammer in on wall you can't hammer on ground because the tee spawn in wrong coord so if you delete the spawn in red player will not be confused if he is in wrong spawn.

red : HT is useless it's way better to use the left one directly. black : try to use less blockers, some unhook like this is enough. blue : maybe give indication because you need speed and if you let the dummy fall it's fail.

black : unhook would be better here. red: some player will be confuse i think, so maybe make it more clear.

black : (arrow) you can solo on edge so : blocker, tele+blocker and HT are useless. red this is rly failly and a bit hard idk whta to think about it, add a cp 31 because you can touch teleport without cp or even touch tele and cp but spwan at wrong cp.

i forgot this one, switch can be change.

blue : don't give rocket for and single use. black : blocker -> unhook. red : can you show me your way because it's rly weird + can easily fail if you touch cp but don't give speed to the dummy. green : only 1 unlock in the 1 tile is better.

i'm not good in design but in my opinion it is ok we can understand part and make the difference between unhook HT... But special entities have to be more clear. black : can be confusing. red : you forgot 1 switch in design. green i forgot to say this blocker is useless.

the finish line should looks like start line.

$waiting

thanks for testing i will try to fix all.

np

-Fixed some skips. (Deepfly off) -Also changed some parts.

• Switch titles have become smaller. -Changing the location of the finish

+add time cps

you forgot to force 2p teams

Thanks

also please add a

I dont know why, but these draggers are turned on sometimes, when im regularly playing through the part

Idk

and the skip vena ponited out is still possible (after your fix you cant go directly to the finish, but you can still go to the part before the finish and play on from there)

I don't know what the reason is, and everything worked for me in a team with a dummy

Okay I'll fix it now

• Fixed skip
• changed part to the finish

entire map is skippable

just put the switch in all 4 blocks

and it doesnt work properly, choose a stronger puller or make it 2 seconds long

can skip this part and therefore some following ones

$waiting

will probably send more feedback when i have more time on my hands

ok, but it won't help the player.

Ahh okay

Thanks

I can show you the work of this part with 1 second, 2 seconds, and in all

1 sec

2 sec 2 ways

and all

I think 1 second would be the most suitable here

I fixed all

but I don't know what to do with that Switch

i think u should just put the puller slightly further down cause sometimes it didnt reach me

or find a way to do it completely without the switch

hey cant u just add a puller blocker like here to prevent getting pulled like on clip number 2

maybe this better? or use switch?

thanks but I changed my mind to use switch

Yes this is way better

Try to avoid using switches

okay

-fixed skip. -some parts have been changed -some design changes

someone with enough time and willpower will eventually skip this (its possible)

put a cp here. player is dead if he doesnt first try the telehook part

player has to edge this here, and is dead if he misses cause dummy is gone

dont put the teles so high

can just hook from there

make these way higher! + player has no idea where dummy will fall to death or into tele

map is unfaily yet u do this. and each time u fail the part u have to do these edges again. it doesnt fit

Some general advice: Try to use less of

• switches. u use switches a lot and often in unnecessary spots. dont overuse them. they make the map more complicated than it has to be. use less of them
• telehooks. kinda like the switches. often u have no idea where the telehook even leads to. use less of them
• teleports (to next parts). try to connect the parts in a natural way rather than just connect them with teleports. otherwise it looks like map was made without any effort. make natural connections All those should take u some time to fix. Take ur time with the update. Its important that u follow this advice. The parts themselves are alright, you just have to map it simpler and more naturally. Good luck

$waiting

tele one tile down + add unfreeze in it

maybe try something more special than just a + d

i wont mention the design just yet, since gameplay goes first

very tight

unfreeze

skip

can do 1 or 2 after the skip

crusade never stops

way to skip

-Finaly fixed skip -3 parts have been changed -Knuski, thanks for the advice, I tried to follow them -teleports are done above

lots of freeze edges that need to be changed. make sure you double check everything

this is just confusing. try to see if you have make things easier to read

down arrow is in entities but not in the design

where does hook tele go? the hook tele and the "tele to" should be visible on the same screen imo

same thing here. we shouldn't have to guess where the hook is going to teleport to

I will work with the design after the gameplay is complete

this would look better if the arrows were moved one to the left

you don't show the anti-hook in the design

• changed one part. -fixed some bugs

-minor gameplay change

-changed spawn

can decline this pls

$decline

Thanks
