Race Servers

[Ryozuki]

But, what's the problem with short race maps? im short = long if you speedrun it.

If the points are the problem then don't put points or put rank points, what people want is play imo

And hi_leute_gll: you are allowed to play every type of race, just go on a server where you can find the races you wanna play. Right now ddrun is for reviving the old long maps maybe shortruns will come later on.

Since i'm living in Germany it wouldn't be a problem for me, but what is with the people living in other regions of this sweet planet?

I opened the client and searched for servers running the Race-mod, exactly 2 servers seem to be not in europe:

(And exactly 2 players are playing this mod. xd)


And according to the website of Teerace, at least in the USA are a few maintained servers, but what is with the guys in South Africa, South America.....?

So nobody played it in the past there...we should just wait for the race servers to come online and then hear what the people have to say shortruns may be added soon

yea, just wait the planet to be destroyed...

Because noone is interested to play servers from 0.4.1 alone where a map needs 1 min to download without supporting a point system, /pause and anything that is fun.

Let's see what happens, if we put (some) middles and rather long races online, if we have lot's of people who want to play short races on ddnet servers (in europe and in the USA they can do it all the time on race servers i guess), we can easily add short races.
Yes we only add certain types of race.
If we would add short maps, it would also need somebody to organize all this (choosing maps, finding maps, testing maps).

I don't think that many people want short races. If you want we can make a poll, but it would need some time until there will be race maps on ddnet

It will take about 6months with the shortraces, last time race server was announced we saw how long it took

Men you can explain yourself better? what will took 6 moth with shortraces? The test? Imo if i test 10 per week and then, they can release 5 per week it's worth

If you mean to test all shortraces before releasing 1, obiusly will take 6 months

dude please learn to express yourself and the race tester crew is lazy so it will take its time
