[Client] [Server] [MOD] DDRace (Page 2 of 2)

You need the DDRace Client to map. There you can add switch-layer for creating doors, teleporter layers and speedup layer. Doors are created similar to the freezing-laser but you have to choose the same switchnumber for the button and the door (you can even switch the numbers with the DDRace Client a the mid-top of the editor). So basically add switch layer, choose layer (then you see lots of gametiles again place switch and the entity you like as pair with same numbers - you can even trigger other stuff as doors with that).

Hi, so I've been trying desperately to find general information on DDrace. Me, being ignorant, thought this stuff would be common knowledge since DDrace is pretty popular, but, that's been a resounding no...
So, what tile-set, square, images do what?... are there any tutorials on this stuff? If so, where?... why are a lot of links down (specifically the game tiles, client settings, server settings, and server commands links...) on this topic? This is the error that comes up: (Not Found, The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an Error Document to handle the request.) ... and why, when I go into the map editor with the DDrace client, can't I see my quad background? And what is this 'XXLDDR'? I should I become accustomed to it rather than DDrace, since it seems like it's becoming more popular? Are the two really that different?
And lastly, why isn't this information easily found on the internet?! (yes, I checked on Google and the forums!) I just want to make a nice, well made map for Pete's sake! :cry:

sincerely,
-frusterated

I disagree. Teeworlds has plenty of easy map creating tutorials a bit everywhere.

Strange issue with zoom in windows version DDRace 1.12a:

Hello
I made a quick php script for convert my server records from files to database.

If anybody need it :
https://github.com/cris272/ddrace-records-converter
You have to set correct variable for host, dbname, user, password, prefix and dirRecords.
Then write "php convert-records.php"

This is far from being any kind of bug.

That's vanilla behaviour. See this:

if(m_HookedPlayer == -1 && distance(m_HookPos, m_Pos) > 46.0f)

That means, in natural language: If we don't hook a player, the distance between you and your hook must be at least 46 for the hook to take effect (A tile's size is 32).

Arrob I hear you but - long time ddracers are used to this and many maps even require these bugs

true... It would be nice I agree. Contact the coders on ddrace.info, irc is a good place

Thanks for your answer, now i got a better insight of how the mechanics work.

its very defined just as every single generator of random numbers out there. i know that no real luck can be coded,
but for a single boolean query (able to save input after short unfreeze or not) in a few seconds im pretty sure this function will give good quality random numbers. if you do not consider that luck you can neither do in any program.
for me its enough to call it luck if noone can predict what will happen, and thats exactly the situation for unfreeze in freezetiles.

i didnt know how its coded before, now i see that it requires a different approach to fix my first example. but to adress the second and your example:
right now there are two different outcomes of the situation (unfreeze in freeze): either you are able to save your input, or not. what i suggest is basically nothing but to force the first one. at least that should change nothing at actual gameplay, since its just a special case of what can already happen now. so there shouldnt be any compatibility issues like your example, though i agree that my initial approach may have caused the problem you discriped. besides im still im not sure why your example works in current ddrace as tees do stop immadietly (not sure but feels so, even at high speeds) on ground if no movement, is it just because you do execute that 1 more input after freeze?

to summarize my current suggestion:
do not care for jump after freeze as seen in my first example, its fix may cause other problems and anyway there is nothing less important.
focus on fixing the luck issue which only applies after unfreeze in freezetiles, here is a way that should work:
since hammer has an effect on the hammered tee, you should go there. maybe you can just force apply there. or check if current input will be applied, if not overwrite next one. if im right the case that nothing happens after unfreeze is if you get unfreezed between step 1 and 2 (which must be the longest period from what i feel ingame).
