DDNet-insta based on DDRaceNetwork, a Teeworlds mod. See the website for more information.

For build instructions visit the ddnet repo.

A ddnet based pvp mod. With the focus on correct 0.6 and 0.7 support and staying close to and up to date with ddnet. While being highly configurable and feature rich.

Implementing most of the relevant pvp gametypes: gctf, ictf, gdm, idm, gtdm, itdm, zCatch, bolofng, solofng, boomfng, fng

Planned gametypes are: ctf, dm

Features

checkbox votes

If a vote is added starting with a [ ] in the display name. It will be used as a checkbox. If the underlying config is currently set that checkbox will be ticked and users see [x] in the vote menu. This feature is optional and if you do not put any [ ] in your config it will not be using any checkboxes. It is only applied for ddnet-insta settings not for all ddnet configs. It is recommended to set sv_vote_checkboxes 0 at the start of your autoexec and sv_vote_checkboxes 1 at the end so it does not update all votes for every setting it loads.

unstack chat for ddnet clients

Newer DDNet clients do not show duplicated messages multiple times. This is not always wanted when using call binds for team communication during pvp games. So there is sv_unstack_chat to revert that ddnet feature and ensure every message is sent properly in chat.

0.6 and 0.7 support including ready change

ddnet-insta uses the 0.6/0.7 server side version bridge from ddnet. So all gametypes are playable by latest teeworlds clients and ddnet clients at the same time.

In 0.7 there was a ready change added which allows users to pause the game. It only continues when everyone presses the ready bind. This feature is now also possible for 0.6 clients using the /pause chat command. This feature should be turned off on public servers sv_player_ready_mode 0 because it will be used by trolls.

0.7 dead players in zCatch

In 0.6 dead players join the spectators team in the zCatch gamemode.

In 0.7 they are marked as dead players and are separate from spectators.

Allow spectator votes for 0.7

The official teeworlds 0.7 client does block voting on the client side for spectators. To make sv_spectator_votes portable and fair for both 0.6 and 0.7 players there is an option to allow 0.7 clients to vote as spectators. It is a bit hacky so it is hidden behind then config sv_spectator_votes_sixup 1 when that is set it will make the 0.7 clients believe they are in game and unlock the call vote menu. But this also means that to join the game the users have to press the "spectate" button.

Lots of little fun opt in features

By default ddnet-insta tries to be ready to be used in competetive games. Being as close to prior implementations of the gametypes as possible. With that being said there are lots of opt in configurations to customize the gameplay.

Check the Configs section for a complete list. One of the highlights would be dropping the flag in CTF gametypes.

Most of the settings that affect the gameplay can be shown to the user with sv_show_settings_motd so they know what is going on:

Gametype support

Make sure to also reload or switch the map when changing the gametype.

Chat commands

Most ddnet slash chat commands were inherited and are still functional. But /pause and /spec got removed since it is conflicting with pausing games and usually not wanted for pvp games.

ddnet-insta then added a bunch of own slash chat commands and also bang (!) chat commands

!ready !pause /pause /ready to pause the game. Needs sv_player_ready_mode 1 and 0.7 clients can also send the 0.7 ready change message
!shuffle /shuffle call vote to shuffle teams
!swap /swap call vote to swap teams
!swap_random /swap_random call vote to swap teams to random sides
!settings show current game settings in the message of the day. It will show if spray protection is on or off and similar game relevant settings.
!1v1 !2v2 !v1 !v2 !1on1 ... call vote to change in game slots
!restart ?(seconds) call vote to restart game with optional parameter of warmup seconds (default: 10)
/drop flag if it is a CTF gametype the flagger can drop the flag without dieing if either sv_drop_flag_on_selfkill or sv_drop_flag_on_vote is set

Publish round stats

At the end of every round the stats about every players score can be published to discord (and other destinations).

The following configs determine which format the stats will be represented in.

sv_round_stats_format_discord 0=csv 1=psv 2=ascii table 3=markdown table 4=json
sv_round_stats_format_http 0=csv 1=psv 2=ascii table 3=markdown table 4=json
sv_round_stats_format_file 0=csv 1=psv 2=ascii table 3=markdown table 4=json

And these configs determin where the stats will be sent to.

sv_round_stats_discord_webhook Will do a discord webhook POST request to that url. The url has to look like this: https://discord.com/api/webhooks/1232962289217568799/8i_a89XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX If you don't know how to setup a discord webhook, don't worry its quite simple. You need to have admin access to a discord server and then you can follow this 1 minute youtube tutorial.
sv_round_stats_http_endpoint It will do a http POST request to that url with the round stats as payload. You can set this to your custom api endpoint that collect stats. Example: https://api.zillyhuhn.com/insta/round_stats
sv_round_stats_output_file NOT IMPLEMENTED YET It will write the round stats to a file located at that path. You could then read that file with another tool or expose it with an http server. Example value: stats.json
