[MOD] Simple DDRace (0.7.2) (Page 1 of 2)

Less is more, emphasize what’s important. great work Dune!

Edit: see first post for binaries on redix's repo

You can get the map update tool at the experimental race branch from redix: https://github.com/axblk/teeworlds/tree/race
You have to build with

bam tools

Alternatively, I built it for windows: https://www.dropbox.com/s/multb1sjns40c … e.exe?dl=0

Sorry, I forgot instructions. You should run:

map_update.exe oldmap.map newmap.map

it should have access to a data folder, so put it in Teeworlds.
To open the folder containing the new map, run config_directory.bat

I've been running this DDRace mod for about two weeks. I want to report some bugs:

• If you make any action while being frozen (e.g. hammer), it will be executed right after the unfreeze.

• Teleports are broken. Some tees get stuck after entering them. I've observed it on servers with more than one player. At first I thought it was only because the exit TP was very close to collision tiles and this is certainly true to some extent, but sometimes it can also teleport you to anywhere on the map even though the exit isn't occupied and was placed in a big open area - which is very weird.

• One of my users got a negative score (overflow?) which put him first. I fixed it for him since he was 2nd place on XYZ and after the restart, the log file vanished (which is apparently expected Teeworlds behavior, but I can't give you any more details on that for now because of that).

Regarding future improvements: Would you accept Pull Requests that implement features like unfreeze laser, grenade collision, endless hook, random spawn points etc.? Currently only my servers have those things, which kinda gives them an edge, but when I asked you about some of them on IRC, you rejected those ideas I believe. Just curious whether that's still your standpoint.

Another question: Is Speedup/Force already implemented? I've seen some lines of code about this, but after placing them in the editor and trying it out, they had no effect. This is probably more of a question for Redix. Also Hook-Through tiles would be amazing. With those two things Multimap could be hosted.

Thanks for developing DDRace and sharing the source code.

Edit: I figured out how to use Force.

This has never happened on my Run Guy server though and there are usually a lot of players. I guess interaction between tees haven't been considered for Race.

Endless Hook = never ending player to player hook. It's kinda overpowered, but some maps use it. It's 17 on the game layer, with 18 being the deactivation. I personally don't know any normal DDRace maps with this, but Blmap4 for example.

It's the default behavior on DDNet's DDRace server and most people will expect it to have collision. I don't know what you mean by traditionally since I haven't played a lot of DDRace 5-10 years ago and none before that (I was more into Instagib/zCatch/Infection in the past^^).

I've already figured out how to do it. It works perfectly.

Thanks for making this!
Is there a way to enable unlimited ammo and to disable the damage sound and effects when you are using the rocket launcher on yourself?

I have not checked if your mod does support more than one gamelayer. If it does not, it will probably be a mess to implement hook-through. If it does, its relative simple. Almost every change that needs to be done would be in collision.cpp but without a server-side cheat it will break the client-side prediction (I have done hook-through in TW 0.5.2 with both multiple layers and without them, and ofc with the prediction cheat).

Thanks, but that only works when the map has the setting, you can't change that via config or console.
I changed the line and put it in config_variables.h to make it work:

MACRO_CONFIG_INT(SvInfiniteAmmo, sv_infinite_ammo, 1, 0, 1, CFGFLAG_SAVE|CFGFLAG_CLIENT, "Enable or disable infinite ammo")

Maybe you can add the CFGFLAG_MAPSETTINGS flag in the config_variables.h too and it will either choose from the config/console or from the map, but I don't enough about the source code so I just left the MapSettings flag out.

Hello, can anyone help me with setup of this server?

but im talking about this server with ddrace modification, i cant run it

It's possible that the map_update.exe tool defaults to sv_infinite_ammo to 0, yeah.
In that case I'm adding sv_infinite_ammo as a server command too: https://github.com/Dune-jr/teeworlds/co … 55dc627ed6

Those entities don't exactly match that that are used in this mod.  The "S" tile is not used.
As for the teleports, you need to make a #tele layer in the #race group. Look at any functional race in the editor to see what I'm talking about.
