Saved scores are not implemented in vanilla teeworlds. This means you need to get a mod that supports this feature. Unfortunately I don't know which mods do so.

It would of course be possible if there was a bug in the server which can be exploited to give the user laser. MAybe this is the case here.

In what way do you think the grenade launcher is overpowered? I personally think that the game is really balanced at the moment. Shotgun and grenade launcher are equally strong in my opinin, they serve a different purpose of course. The laser is a bit above both of them, but needs better aiming and is not placed on the maps as often as the other weapons. As just said, it's really balanced in my opinion...

You are saying that any high level game shows it is overpowered. Just of which high level games are you speaking? A can not say I have ever seen you ingame. The games I play don't show the gl being overpowered at all.

You say we should tell you why the gl should not be weakened, but you don't give any reason for weakening it (other then saying "it's too strong") yourself.

1. You should not base your league on a mod, it should use the official gametypes.
2. You should let the people play on the official maps.
3. I never said you don't have a chance against ESL but that ESL has a much better chance of getting successful if you contribute to it then your project will ever have. Your project might succeed, but if you work with ESL it will be much easier.

Just to throw in my opinion:

You created a great tool with with this envelope previewing stuff. This is something that should definitely become official.

You said that you want to do something for tw. You need to ask yourself "In what way can I help this beautiful game?". The answer does surely not lie in creating tools like aimbots, radar systems or rainbow clients which give an unfair advantage over other players or simply annoy or disturb others. The much better idea is creating usefull things for the official client, and with your tool, you have already done so.

I understand you feel a bit annoyed after all these negative posts, but please don't let that be the reason for this wonderfull tool not being implemented. After all, we all (including you) just want to make this game better (At least that's what I think...). And you now have the chance to contribute to this game in a great way, so I encourage you to take that chance.

1. We can't tell yet if it will be implemented, but from my point of view there is not much that speaks against it.
2. It's done when it's done.

I know what you meant, and of course this is the best way to improve. However, there are some basic concepts that should be clear before even starting with professional ctf mapping. I just wanted to give you this hint. I think many people will be happy to test and analize your maps and give you (positiv) criticism

I actually had the same problem and went back to playing in fullscreen (even though this means I need to quit teeworlds everytime I need to do something on my desktop...). I hope minimizing on the mac will work at some point of time in the future... I did some research on that myself, and I found out it's a bug in sdl. It will probably be fixed with sdl1.3, but it's still a long time untill that is released....

Why create a new project, if there is already a good one out? ESL has everything necessary for tournaments, leagues, leaders, prizes, whatever you want. It just needs to be used, and for that advertisement and good/professional admins are needed.

On the other hand, for creating an own project, you would need to create all these tools from the start. You need to build a website, you need to get good admins, you need to advertise. I agree that this can work. I pointed out "funwar" earlier. Actually I happen to be one of the former admins of fun war and I can tell you that it's a whole lot of work to do all this stuff, so if you want to go serious with that, be ready for a very time consuming job.

I really think that helping ESL would be a lot easier and would give a much greater benefit in a shorter time, but I don't want to dissuade you from you original plan.

Do you have anything planned already? How is the website going to work? Do you have admins already? Do you have a plan on how to make your league popular with tw players and clans (from low to high level). Do you have any ideas about which tournaments you would organize, which leaders etc.? If you can not answer these questions, I'd suggest you make up your mind about all this stuff and get some competent people before trying to present your project here. You should definitely not start with absolutely nothing here.

Again, I don't want to discourage you, it's just my experience that tells me that this project is not very well prepared and is very likely to fail.

You know, there have been several attempts to leagues for teeworlds (and it's actually not too long ago that I gave almost exactly this answer in a similar thread). In fact by now, all of these attempts simply failed. The reasons were either that the community was not interested enough, or that the admins went inactive after some time. One of the more successful projects was fun war, which was able to held some tournaments, but it died after some time, just like the other projects did.

I think the general problem with leagues for teeworlds is, that there are just not enough clans, which are able to play on a equal and decent level. Take the vanilla ctf scene for example, there are maybe 6 clans out there at the moment, that I would call professional or on the edge to professional. I don't know how this is in instagib, but I doubt it's much better.

In order to make a project like this successful, it needs to be official in my eyes. Otherwise just too many people would not care about it. This is also the reason why I think that the most promising league is still ESL. Teeworlds is on the ESL, but most people are not very active there, because the admins don't seem to be so competent. If you really want to take the initiative and work so tournaments can be hold, try helping those guys, maybe you could do some advertisement for ESL here on the forum or something like that.

I don't want to frustrate you, but I really doubt that your own project would be successful. ESL on the other hand has all the tools needed ready to be used, and it's kind of official. So I advise you to help there.

The linux binaries are not present. Either you forgot to upload them, or something else went wrong. Also it IS possible to use 0.6.1 on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. You need to install freetype manually for that though, as it is not shipped with the OS by default anymore.
