Topic: [warning] map-creation

well, i suggest not rotating tiles with the current trunk editor...
this will happen:

i reported that already but the feature wont be removed.

all in all: dont rotate tiles in your maps wink

thanks to mo(2) for bug finding (http://ddrace.info/forum/showthread.php … otation%29)

issue on github: https://github.com/teeworlds/teeworlds/issues/issue/228

edit: there are still a lot of people playing with 0.5 non-trunk client: new players, players who play with a client mod that wasnt ported to trunk (eg. gamer client)

Re: [warning] map-creation

lol map rotation is one of the best new features ever!

Re: [warning] map-creation

but it doesnt work with old clients... (so if you want all players to play on your map: dont use tile-rotating) i think this feature should be introduced with 0.6.0, cause all 0.5.x version (even the trunk) should be compatible with each other.

Re: [warning] map-creation

Teeworlds is beta software, hence the 0.x.x Things like this is to be expected, we're just not as used to it as we should be, since the development pace has been so slow smile

i am using the new client...

but i think of new players: the will download 0.5.2 -> so if there will be many maps with rotated tiles -> they maybe leave teeworlds due to that feature...

i wonder why 0.5 trunk servers are visible if you enabled the "compatible version" filter, cause with this rotating-feature maps can be not compatible at all.

There is still no official release that fixes that anoying small-packet-crash-bug. If your only choice is to host a 0.5.2-TW server you have to host a server that is easy to crash. If it's called 0.5 trunk but leave compatible you can host a fixed server but don't risk that nobody would be able to connect afterwards. I don't know why there is still no new release of TW. But I'm not sure if that have something to do with the server at all. The Client is downloading the map and even painting the map wrong afterwards. So I think it's manly the "fault" of the client.
