temporary derby map submission
While still unofficial, I would like to expand the map catalogue to make derby look more complete and finished. If you'd like to make a map, pick up the following XML and consider these general guidelines:

• XML - [link]
• Use BLUE nails for airjumps, YELLOW nails for arrows, and RED nails for bombs
• Length should be 3200 (already set in the XML)
• Maps should have a "vanilla" style
• Maps should have a maximum of 9 tokens
• Map design should encourage a balanced race where the leader can be overtaken


Why vanilla?
Derby maintains a consistent, comfortable style. If too many wacky maps were added, it'd become too convoluted and confusing.

Why 9 tokens?
Token art uses joints, which are infamous for lag. To prevent this from becoming an issue, you should limit tokens to 9 or less. Consider that every time you die you can get tokens again, and every token gives you THREE of an item, so there isn't a huge need for too many!

The room is online .

Just played it a little bit. It's a great game and i hope that it can get official.

Made a map for the mini-game, I couldn't delete the wood grounds though (not sure if I'm supposed to anyways) but here you go. @4202354

I can translate to BR, just give me a pastebin of everything that you wish to translate

Derby is currently not online.

looks are optional (added item comments similar to cfmbot)

I can fix that but why no background/token coordinates

i lov u fxie
bst gme
this is first and bafflua shars u firsttt

im sorry what

"I love you Fxie for making this game.
Best game.
This is first and Bafflua shares your first."

I enjoy this. The only thing I don't like is how lag influences the timing when using powerups. Most notably how using a lagged rocket boost over a gap causes you to die. I guess it's safe to assume tig didn't allow any of this to be client sided. Hopefully it goes official soon so there's more people to play with.

Yeah, literally everything is serverside, so we have to depend on connection for every aspect of every minigame. If we could give code to the client, everything would work beautifully.

Like most with FFA, though, I've adapted to the latency in minigames. You should try bombjumping in this one

Shruge, didn't know it was required. Just didn't think about backgrounds at the time because most of them look weird stretched.

I can't seem to get you online and you literally left as soon as you came a few times so I'll just say it here:

If you can give me the XML, I can clean it up (remove those wood grounds without removing the art, "vanilla-ize" a little) and give you it back.

Also I edited the post at the top of this page with a template for map submission while derby is still unofficial.


Bogkitty wrote a cute ES translation, just need a BR one now

Wow, this is a cool game.

So, at what time of day do you usually have derby running? every time I check it's empty

I know right ._.

Never, I can't run it. You'd have to get a Lua tester with the code (like Shamousey) to start it up. I'll see if it's good enough to be official in a few days.
