Topic: DDRace Server client and entites

Hey,
so I'm writing this, because I'm too dumb to find it myself.
First, I want to make maps for DDRacemax.
The problem: I can't find a server client with working entities!
The client from ddrace.info works very well, but the entites there are just too confusing... (How do the Ports work there, and where is Solo Part?)
People on the DDRacemax servers told me, that when I want to use the entities from their homepage (http://ddracemax.mine.nu/files/entities.png), I have to use the ddrace.info client. And this don't works.

Can someone give me a working server client (no overmodded kiddy client), and entities, matching with it?
(I need the client to test the map before using it)

Re: DDRace Server client and entites

What doesn't work when you get their client exactly?

Not Luck, Just Magic.

Re: DDRace Server client and entites

When I use the Client from ddrace.info and the DDRacemax entites, Ports doesn't work, there is no Solopart "Button", etc.
The problem is: When I use some server client which only works with some special entities, I can't use the map on the DDraceMax servers, because they have other entities and the map won't match.
So I need a server client, matching with the entites DDRacemax uses. So I can test my map, before releasing it.

Re: DDRace Server client and entites

Use standard DDRace client. The entities there are outdated wink

C++/Java my life ^^

Lolwut.

Okay, first ddrace entities come with the client and work just fine. The entities you linked to are old 0.5 entities o.O

If you have a hard time figuring out how entities work i suggest two things:

1. load maps in the editor and examine how they are used.

2. have a look here at the best help ive found on it: http://xxl-clan.com/showthread.php?tid=153

(NOTE: altho that thread is XXL ddrace, XXL only has a few extra entities all the rest are the same and will work with regular ddrace)


Also "ports" (or teles)  in 0.6 ddrace client has a separate layer for teleports, those old 0.5 entities will not work.

Right click on the game group and you can add Teleport, Switch, Speedup, and Front layers.

Re: DDRace Server client and entites

I have to say I made maps back in 0.5.
I didn't know they changed teles and stuff so hard ._.
I'll try now what you said, thanks^^

I can only add Tiles nad Quads. But no Teleport, Switch, Speedup, and Front layers.
( Yes, I right clicked on the Game Group)

So.... now i understood it.
I had to use the DDRace Client... But its bugged like hell >_<
And when I want to join my own server the game crashes (I have to stop the process with the task manager)

Re: DDRace Server client and entites

They updated the CLient to 1.15a yesterday smile
Zooming works now smile
But I still have the bug, that I can't join my own server... After waiting a bit (On the frozen screen) I get timed out (Not acked for 15 seconds). How can I fix this?

Re: DDRace Server client and entites

i have no idea who pointed you to old entities (please dont use them we just dont have time to update the website)

ama i will rape you one day for not listening tongue

so

1.096a client from ddrace.info website was one of the best because in newest versions there was a bug in editor

but now the version 1.15 have that bugs fixed so feel free to use 1.096a or 1.15a or newer

also about ddmax if you will finish your map dont show it to anyone please come to us  Me, Ama, Obst, KbeeeR, Rolf or Laxa and we will help you to get the map released on our servers (ddmax)



also about timeout it might be your new map tongue:P aka layers are too big

if you can just make the layers smaller or change the "conn_timeout" to lets say 120 in autoexec

also to make it clear if you make a map for ddmax then your server must be passworded so nobody will see the map or we will treat it as a released map (more info check rules section on ddmax website)

Re: DDRace Server client and entites

Layers were too big, thanks, works now^^
Only I will see the map, when I'm testing something, there is a password and I will show it first one of you wink
