can u explain how u want ppl to do this part? i marked things that are not needed to complete it

u should make hook/unhook more clear

cool map, has cool ideas. but often not well implemented

last part feels lame

stars, moon, clouds and mountains should be HD

u can hook here

move this 1 to the left

$waiting

Here I am concerned that the crowd may be crowded, I'll delete it if don't need it.

changed the background

changed the last part

and fill in the missing effect tips

i still think u have to make it more clear whats unhookable

maybe like this?

stars + moon HD

$waiting

$reset

upload again without pics in it

OK

in such spots i would end like this :

looks wrong

this looks better, u already used in other spots

u used in this part some invisible tiles, i would just move it to the right and make it visible. blue = just hookable

pls make it consistent and add everywhere 2xtotele, sometimes u placed just one or 3

u dont need a extra switch off there

if u want ur switch off by default use this command /for all the switches

switch_open (your number)

all of this looks very wrong if u look in entities

https://discord.com/channels/252358080522747904/1116365657446023198/1117185156046925956

$waiting

imo u should mark where are the important to teles

like in getcarry :

something like this (its not important there, only to show what i mean)

other similar details have also been revised

Looks better 👍

make it clear that u have to go in here or just replace the wall with hookable

ok i just saw u can cheat next part then, maybe add just ht ? xd

we dont know about this part, hook on of makes no sens

if its just that way we have done (without hook on/off) its too hard for novice

the mechanic that the upper tee has to jump until its good

tbh the whole map feels more like moderate 1

set arrows where u have to go

the switches look ike that u have to go in, make it clear what it does

often u used unhook tiles that are half of the hookable

there are tiles that fit better in entities

https://discord.com/channels/252358080522747904/1116365657446023198/1118204320450609152 maybe just add another cool part? 😛

$change server Moderate

would add hookable there that u cant cheat the part

u dont need a door there, i would add just a little part where u cant cheat from up

move this whole section a bit down

2 tiles should be enough

$waiting

ay

i still dont know what u want with hook on/off there, maybe answer how u want that part, rn all the hook on off tiles useless and just confusing

u can do this part without using hook on/off

whats the point of the dragger there? just make it a bit shorter and delete all the switches and dragger xdd

little suggestion here, u can set this higher.. idk 10 tiles, then ur mate has to go up b4 activate the hook again

that u have to go first up

or just remove the whole hole there

$waiting

still wrong color

pls fix the part like this

its annyoing when u stuck there

this is also kind of spammy, u dont even need the hook on off tiles ( i would just remove the hook on off things or make it work(idk how u want it))

$waiting

looks better but i would just cut those 2 parts out, the no hammer there and ur way is kind of useless + spammy, u can just hookfly it and the second part kills the flow

map should be ready after fixing this section 😛

$waiting

if u do the part u get dragged often into the help thing and just reset the part, u should edit it

its also spammy there

idea is nice, maybe u can make it a bit more open down there

its a bit tiny

and spammy on ground

😄

i would add something like this

u can remove this help thing

or leave it and remove the other help thing that u dont have the spam and hooking into the switch like i said

$waiting

the animation for the HT is bugged, also i would make the movement rather smooth

maybe add for non hd just tiles that stay like in picture

ok

I need a little time to fix it

add some HT there to make sure its not cheatable, it looks cheatable rn

i would make this a bit bigger (blue). red = add 2 tele like everywhere

this longer to make sure that u cant cp-cheat it

toteles higher from ground than others

for this part put a little more unhook there idk which way u want but this was the best i found

u can also see in the video that u have to add some unhooks up there

this needs to be placed more right, otherwise both can go left side

would remove the hookable up there to make sure u cant go down way and do fancy cheats

bcs u can use here the hook on/off thing for a cheat there

played the map now some more times, and this feels just lame compared to other parts

$waiting

put some speedups here

the animation is still jerky

https://discord.com/channels/252358080522747904/1116365657446023198/1120359263919931402

part cheatable with hammerfly and throw, after that u can jump solo up there where my tee is

I adjusted this animation for a while, and I'm not completely satisfied with the outcome. However, reducing the image clarity didn't make the animation smoother. I increased the speed slightly, hoping that it would look better that way.

Alternatively, I could just remove this animation altogether.

u have to find the best value+time for the animation, depends on how much pictures it have etc. u know

idk ^^

if u cant build it smooth i would just remove it

Alright, if I still can't adjust it properly tomorrow, I will delete it.

I made some modifications to the animation, and now it is smoother than before. However, I'm not sure if it meets your requirements

suggestion for this empty area, blue = hook, red = tele

animation still jerky but its ok since its smaller now

imo ok *

hammer on in toteles missing

red= move the hook on and place also a hidden hook on before totele, blue = would remove 1 on each side

i would add hookable there, that u can swing fast around

$waiting

u can cheat this part , i would add some teleports at the wall to prevent it

if u want to fix this - add some more tele around the unhook, if u think its ok bcs its not faster etc it can stay

this needs to be lower by 3 tiles

its too hard for ppl to reach

make this a bit bigger pls, (5tiles should be enough) (just the section i marked)

u can go solo there

and its still cheatable in the way i have shown

all other changes look good

$waiting

I made some adjustments to the animation by increasing the frame rate to 16 frames. Now the animation should be smoother than before

looks good

maybe add bg an bottom line . so you when you zoom out couldn't see that mountains end ( just idea )

corner where mouse

sometimes its working from there

and sometimes its not working from high position

need to change something here

unfreeze marking different

also possible from here

no walls

extra corner , a bit to right rocrner again

$waiting

Why does my texture look like this? I didn't make any adjustments to it before, and it suddenly became misaligned.

opengl

What should I do?

Even after applying the built-in textures, misalignment issues still occur.

use one of these

thanks

its not good that u cant go back

would extend this section a bit (4 tiles). that u have to hold the hook while going up (but test it ofc)

just that u cant hook normally there

missing animation

emmmmmmm

I'll redesign that last level

no need

its simple to fix

$waiting

I recorded only me in the last video, Tridemy just walked to the left side (there is hook on/off again)

This could help fixing it

I have a simple fix for both cheats in mind, but will wait how u fix it

You should also include speedups as an optional boost in all parts where you have to run longer, it makes the flow much better

We keep finding new cheats and bugs, but the map keeps getting better and better

Alright, I will do my best 😄

looks good

https://discord.com/channels/252358080522747904/1116365657446023198/1121939402873127064

u dont want it ?

example what i mean, u have so much walking sections, would be more flowy if u add some speedups

suggestion for this part, blue = unhook , red = tele

all the runs we did, we always keept the hook there

totele missing

"

"

u can remove one of them

i would just close the holes, looks not good down there, u can see end of the mountains. or just black shadow would be also ok

maybe shadows, i see u wanted it at begin and end

$waiting

No problem

And I also added many speedups

looks good, will check later

i hope u did it for both sides 😄

start of map end of map

🤷‍♂️

idk, i would put it for all the holes. but ur choice

this speedups sucks while playing 😄

u need there unhook

the hook on/off things now useless, + u forgot to add hook on after the part

$waiting

u closed at the begin of the map the holes, maybe do the same here? (for the other one idk, u used puller there)

I feel like there is still a possibility of cheating.

I directly pushed it to the extreme with my modifications.

Some texture bugs

u can remove this unfreeze

would also put a hole there

idk if u care about it but u can do it from all positions

u can move this to force the part with hammer

$waiting

nice map and idea, good job! but there are still some little improvements u can make: I thought you might have designed this part as a auto part to through that narrow passageway, but it seems like unstable, i couldnt do this part three times in a row with the same action. maybe u can redesign this part or just expansion that passageway.

this part looks much simpler than the others. In addition, team players can pass through the finish line in sequence instead of arriving at the same time. is that what you designed for?

cool map

Just a boost before the finish line, to reach the finish line faster

I placed a hint here. By standing at that location, it becomes easy to pass through. If adding this increases the cost of trial and error in gameplay, I will make it mandatory to pass through that hint

i tested this, its a bit random. maybe make the hole just 2 tiles wide

idk if u care, but u can skip a bit in t0

(one tee can help all others to go faster down there and skip the actual move of the part)

he mean that u can finish the map and go back (use same way as b4, without hammer in air)

$waiting

lower it 1 tile

all of this a bit higher (2 tiles)

use here HT

$waiting

u can add hook off there too and both visible (its better to start the part)

u want to force 1 way here?

there are like 5 different ways of doing it

Here, I just want to make a random change, perhaps it will be more convenient?

u can go solo like b4

solo finish, go back, mate finish

u can use the hook on off thing better there

Does that mean I change it back？

no

do it how u like it

if u want to keep it like this its also ok, just said that there are more ways to do it

u want to keep it like this or edit again?

then I'll change it back

$optimize

$edit --shrink-layers

$ready 3~
