Improve overlay entities
Some time ago I`ve tried to edit entity tiles by myself. But everytime oficial ones updates you have to update your also.
I would very very like to see less noize in tiles when they are in a group.
For example freeze tile... well I just truly hate DDNet version of it after a day playing with edited tileset.
There static pictures to compare.
Original: Freeze tile only edited: But its nothing comparing to dynamic game where such tiles is just everywhere and always in move.
P.s.: personally I dont believe that tile edges helps more then hurts (yes, you can count without million holes inbetween them). At least let us have official alternative please. Instead of it we have to create custom ones.

Re: Improve overlay entities
First we had the freeze without the black dots but then we switched to the black dots so that people can better estimate distances. I usually play zoomed out a bit so they are barely visible. You also have to remember that entities mode is mostly for map testing, not playing.

Re: Improve overlay entities
having no text is no help tho i still want/need it just would like it smaller
@ ┇»MíM«┇ toggling it on and off seems to be a nice way to do it since i have zoom on my mouse aswell i can toggle off while looking at the map zoomed out and back on when playing

Re: Improve overlay entities
Deen, can I have a link/explanation why anyone even want this "better estimate distance" possibility? (ingame I mean, I dont care about entities in editor, they will stay) During my ~7 years experience I`ve never been wanted this ever (may be cause I can count ground entities but never freeze tiles)deen wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2019 6:10 pm First we had the freeze without the black dots but then we switched to the black dots so that people can better estimate distances.

This topic is worrying me, that is why I know a lot of players that using it NOT for testing but for playing. Not sure if there more testers then such players. At least the game client is more for players but not for testers, is not it? Plus, tester - is mostly exeperienced player.

Re: Improve overlay entities
For testers to easily say whether something is still hookable.

Re: Improve overlay entities
I was a mapper, I was a tester, I`m a player.
I understand your point, but I fcking want use overlay entities to play poor designed maps also. While this looks awfull in DDNet client, I cant do that.
So what can I do ?
I want control over situatuion istead of attempts to undestand designer ideas

Re: Improve overlay entities
If we change it back how do we know whether someone won't complain the other way around?
