Topic: DDrace server hosting and DDrace map creation on 7.2

I have been looking for a topic that keeps up to date on the latest ddrace mod, and I can't find it. if it exists, please direct me there smile

I've wanted to find out how to host a ddrace server for a while, but all I could find was the ddnet server (a totally different thing) and I want to host ddrace to the VANILLA clients. obviously, there is a server mod other than ddnet's that hosts to vanilla, so where can I find the download, or what adjustments do I need to make to the vanilla server?

also, a have created a map, but on the ddnet client. can I somehow convert the ddnet map file to work with vanilla teeworlds? or do I just have to rebuild it on a different client? (I'm prepared to). And if I have to rebuild it, what client or mod do I have to use?

sorry I'm a noob lol

Re: DDrace server hosting and DDrace map creation on 7.2

There are several 0.7.x DDRace modifications. For example, I wrote a minimalistic one. DDNet is 0.6 only.
The thread also contains instructions to port 0.6 maps to 0.7.
I'll update it to 0.7.3 tomorrow for whoever is interested.

Re: DDrace server hosting and DDrace map creation on 7.2

Thanks so much! I got map_update to work.

does the server support chain-through tiles? (probably not I assume but I may be wrong)

and I don't know if this has to do with anything but if I had a tile in the map that has freeze and teleport (just an example not real XD) by using the 'game' and 'front' layers, will it work with the server?

Re: DDrace server hosting and DDrace map creation on 7.2

I'm back!

I converted the file successfully but found that only freeze, unfreeze and chain/unchainable tiles worked and that speedup and timer tiles don't work. is this because the server doesn't support it, or because I used the ddnet game tile layout instead of race?

either way, I'm also curious as to how to create a map for 0.7 natively (instead of making a map for 0.6 and then converting it.)

Re: DDrace server hosting and DDrace map creation on 7.2

There are no speedup tiles, only path blockers.
Timer tiles? You mean race start/end/checkpoints? They do work, it's a race fork so everything in race is in there.

To make a 0.7 map your best bet is to look at the structure of the maps you exported. The entities are on github (datasrc/editor), they're the same as 0.6 for the base stuff.
