[MAP] DDRakRace [DDRaceMod]

Nice map

Or at least some think so. Many like DDRace. But some are always writing "create maps for standard gametype" in DDRace-Map-Threads. Even as I posted myself a ddrace-map in the past in that forum the first answer was something regarding "bad ddrace". So I created a CTF map afterwards too. But nearly nobody played it. I even hosted other custom-CTF maps that was good and nearly nobody played that too (so even if mine is crap I like the other ones as player - but not when playing always nearly alone). Reading such post like yours again and again is frustrating. In my opinion it creates a wrong illusion. I think there are already maps out there that are at least as good as CTF1, but who cares? If you would advertise custom maps for vanilla then I would recommend that you introcude disabling or removing the "Standard map" option in TW-Client. I think that would be much more usefull then always getting into DDRace-Map threads and asking for maps for standard gametypes.

Maybe because most don't play custom maps for vanilla gametype? A quick search in server-list showed ~146 players are playing standard-gametype. Well - enabling standard-maps made 110. So 36 players seemed to play non-standard but vanilla. Looking to the most visited (but still not full) ones shows race/ddrace maps *lol* ... so at that time about 16 players (of the world?) was really playing some custom maps that was created for vanilla gametype. Woohoo? Then take out standard-gametype as well and search again. Yes it's a fact (some) "people here don't like ddrace" but it's even a fact that "many people like ddrace". Bite again and again and again DDRace... maybe the day would come that you get more and more alone. Look into real-life and ask how many gamers and even non-gamers know what "Half-Life" could mean and then ask same people again regarding "Counterstrike". I think it's better for TW to get in friendship with DDrace instead of always blame it.

Here is where you're wrong. Many newbies are trapped in DDRace because they find other newbies there, but kinda few people from the 'pro' sphere are playing DDRace - yes there are some, but these are also playing many other mods, not especially DDRace - and they're usually not playing for gameplay. Most important difference between the "classic", "pure" race mod which would be implemented in the next versions of Teeworlds and that mod is that DDRace implements a lot of newbish features for lame cheats, build a mini-society allowing kids to become "lvl 3 on ddrace but lol plz help i want lvl4", play lame maps with unhookable graphics everywhere, just picking different colors for death tiles/unhookable/hookable ; and the rankings are pointless there as usually the top5 is just top5 of cheaters. Maps have all the caracteristics of noobish not well-worked and fast-made maps with secret ways spottable in editor, repetitive parts where you just have to jump up'n'down 100 times ; and you're constantly spammed with broadcasts from the server all along the game, votekicks and the votes (not secret anymore!) of people as server chats, with bouncing credits bound to the map with the logo of the clan and all that crap. And you can't finish a map without getting blocked somewhere (that would never happend in race), or getting hooked by a noob, or getting kicked because you don't speak german (which is official language didn't you know?), or calling a "helper" to help you to cheat 50 times (that will do it even if you don't ask him), or seeing somebody with infinite grenades pushing you in the death tiles and etc... And if you finished that map without cheating at any point nor getting kicked nor getting hooked nor getting helped nor all that crap, then you are considered as a pro and can wear the {your country-L} tag in front of your nick! gg and welcome in the real Teeworlds (btw what is "vanilla" lol? hä ye its sucky mod noone plays it lulz).

So go to hell with your partnership proposition and maybe go to improve your ruleless noob-trapping world in place of trying to rule the good, the teeish one.

why do you have to start a ddrace discussion in every thread that is connected to this mod ó.ò

i hate ddrace as much as the next guy, but come on

ddrace is the most popular gametype, deal w/ it

If you still think DDRace is for newbies I think you just don't know DDRace enough or you just dislike it and write that from an idological point of view. I fully ignored DDRace for a long time and played CTF5 again and again and again. It was nice... and it is still nice sometimes.

No mod is as successfull then DDRace. It not so uncommon to find more players playing DDRace then all official standard-gametypes counted together. I even played race mod. It's nice... but not everybody like it to find out if he can make 19 secs out of 20 secs by looping a short map in crazy speed all the time.

Then join servers that disabled cheats. It's your decision. And even playing with mods that may cheat can still make much more fun then always playing one map over and over again. In my opinion DDRace improves TW a lot.

And lot of players are still playing it? WTF? Maybe gameplay really matters? Or maybe they are not so lame you think? Or maybe in your world all noobs are just to dumb to find out that it sucks what they play. Think what you want. There are already many maps out there that don't use unhookable graphics. But if a map makes fun (for example hardcore2) I don't care.

Not really. I still remember when I tried to speedrun a lot of times koule_III_longer and it made a lot of fun. But even playing without time makes fun. Most players don't care if they already are minutes behind the top-score. Why? How cares when playing makes fun?

You are wrong.

Then use /team 1 in chat of new DDRace servers.

I don't remember one case where somebody was kicked because of it's language.

Go back, stop off topic!
