Below is a list of common DDNet mapping mistakes, with the intention of being a resource for DDNet mappers with less experience.


Remember:

  • Even those who have been mapping for years can find it difficult or challenging to create good maps
  • Practicing and spending time on mapping is the only way to become good at it
  • Testing your own maps and others' maps is the best way to learn from your mistakes
  • These rules are not exhaustive! Like all forms of "art", breaking rules can lead to amazing maps, as long as you do it correctly.
