Topic: [request] jungle / maya tileset

Hej there,

As one can see "lost" is one of the maps which is played very often. It is the ultimate instagib map, but as we can see either: it's not QualiTee-mapped e.g. fore- and background tiles are not used consistently. Therefore I want to create a rework.

I want to change the location to South America, to some kind of maya temple. I am working on the temple gfx at present, but I need some help for jungle plants. If you would like to help me, please provide the gfx as inkscape-svgs, so that i can easily adopt them. Finally I want to create a jungle tileset that all mappers can use.

I will be pleased if you help me.

Re: [request] jungle / maya tileset

Because of the tremendous help offers, I am working alone on the map. When I ran a testserver (I forgot to deregister it before) severel players joined and guess what, the first German kiddie was saying "Arschloch" to me. That's it what teeworlds is at present and I'm very upset about that.

Here is my preview, but I'm not sure to complete it, because I am fed up.

I'm confused... is there a way to "deregister" servers? Or do you just meant "shutdown"?

Don't take this too serious. I don't know why German kids are so stupid... I met several, too. (I'm German, too - but I can't remember being this dumb when I was a kid).

Nice work Landil, keep it up!

sv_register 0
Makes the server not send any heartbeats to the masterserver, thous not showing up in the serverlist.

You got me wrong. I did not mean "not register", I meant "deregister" as Lindil said. When a server is registered, then I simply shut it down (and the absence of heartbeats will automatically deregister the server. I was asking if there is a way to tell the server: "I'm going down..NOW"

I used the word deregister in the sense of FireArrow smile [who still doesn't use the avatar Lappi created for him wink]

I checked the masterserver sources: No way to deregister. Just got you wrong wink

When is your test-server up again? Looking forward to play your map

Don't get me wrong, but I prefer a selfmade avatar. I think it should be something personal if you know what I mean.

Re: [request] jungle / maya tileset

It does look nice. Looks like you successfully fixed the visibility issues with lost while at the same time making it look good.

I still don´t like that there´s so much open void in the nether regions though. Makes it so awkward to climb up.

Re: [request] jungle / maya tileset

Landil, what kind of tiles can I do for you? Except the sun I already did smile which would IMHO be a nice addition :-)

Since I have now a tool at hand, where I can create envelope at millisecond precision, I always thought about doing some background animation. That would achieved in having a series of quads, each one showing for only say 250ms. A bird flying by in background would be a nice thing or?

Re: [request] jungle / maya tileset

Hey Landil, the map is great! Keep up the good work. I still don't like the empty space in the upper part of the map. It's not used, so how about filling it?

I got really bored with the Lost map, because how long can you play it? big_smile It sure needed some re-design, and this one's perfect. The original layout + your tiles = better smile

Oh! As soon as you release it / host it, it will certainly be cycled on our clan's public server. Respect smile

Re: [request] jungle / maya tileset

thx a lot 4 your nice words smile As some of you have already seen I am going on with creating one of the best wink maps ever. As the map now has a size of ~550kb (and there are still some modifications to do) I decided to stop adding further graphics.

Thank you

My humble and small contribution is the relief of the rain god chaak. And as I've seen and played the current status, I can say that it'll be a new experience of lost.
