SV 2.1 Betatesting (internal)

[DaVinci]

... will start soon. Hope to see some volunteers

If you are capable enough to install the mod by yourself and to give a proper testreport (its form will be defined still), then feel free to express your will with a post here below this thread.

Beta-testing experience is an advantage but not a must for our selection, that we will make, before you can consider yourself as 'Official SV Beta Tester' (which you can put into your signature if you wish).
First we'll only provide a functions-testing and hunting 'obvious' bugs, not balancing etc.

The chosen ones will be listed then in this first post here, and will be informed mainly by pm about further instructions.

Naturally, people who actually* participate active, will be mentioned in the credits list.

*I learned a lot about people who enlisted themselves but either never appeared or only wanted to take a look into mod updates due to whatever reason.

I'd love to. I have experience from beta-testing Roma Surrectum for RTW and I can install pretty much anything, so PM me if you're interested.

I would like very much to do the testing: my only concern is "If you are capable enough to install the mod by yourself " because I don't know if I am capable...

I don't think you'll have a problem

[Greenstone11]

Hey I'd be happy to help test, haven't done much except play this mod the past few weeks

[pouya]

hi me too i like to do that

[DaVinci]

Ok, Drtad and Lorre are accepted already, cause we know that they will do it right.

I forgot to set other important requirements, these are:
- able to copying the log file, and paisting it into a report post
- able to make screenshots as thumbnails (ie. by using imageshack)
and describing the bug
- able to save and copy a saved game, and then loading it onto a free server.

So the other two volunteers above, can you fulfill the requirements, then you are in ... just confirm please

Aye aye Sir! I can do that easily.
Hope to find some time to do the italian translation, I think to have some spare time in August and make it before september.

[Butcher]

I completely fulfill requierements writed above and I would like to help you with testing and improving, becouse this is my favourite mod.
So, if you think that I can be useful, contact me.

[Greenstone11]

Oh ok nevermind, don't know how to do the last one.

[DaVinci]

Just to give a light idea: At the end of next week, rough guessed, i'll going to give the information who will be a beta tester.

And we need some more, c'mon. The quicker the testresults will be provided, and fixes are done due to the reports, the quicker 2.1 can be released.

Greenstone, if it is your only problem to learn how to load a file onto a server, then this shouldn't be the problem to teach you this.

So we'll probably receive a PM with a lnk to the file once the Cumans are done?

[Ermeni]

hi guys....if help is needed from me I'll volunteer......i think i fulfill the above stated criterias without any problem

[Butcher]

I've already sent instructions how to upload files(to Filefactory) to Greenstone.

[DaVinci]

... easiest free server for little files is: www.yourfilelink.com

I don't want to seem like I'm just sitting around waiting for the next release, I'd love to help but don't have the time to beta test.

[DaVinci]

We have still a bit on the plate, not only the Cumans ... but one thing is certain, you'll see a lot new units.

Also little time, that you eventually would anyway invest into playing SV can help ... ... for example you could make custom battle mode testing of new units.

Well, if you would allow me to use some of my time playing this (instead of working on CTW) I would actually like to beta test your guys' mod. I don't actually play M2 much at all, but thinking of it as job/obligation will help me... I haven't played any other mods, but this way you will get a "fresh" and unbiased opinion...

Like I said though, have never played M2 mods, but I'm pretty confident I'll figure out the installation, and hopefully you trust me to fulfill the rest of the requirements more or less, hehe.

Anyways, can't promise to play it for hours on end, but I can promise that I'll report anything I find...
