Roma Surrectum II: Beta Testing

**MarcusTullius** · December 29, 2008, 08:19 AM

The RS Dev team are now moving into the next phase of Beta Testing. For this we are looking for applicants who meet the following criteria:

1) People who have shown the ability and commitment required to continue a sustained campaign by posting an AAR or screenshots of a sufficiently expanded empire in the "Show Your Empire" thread. You must also show ability to take, upload and post a screen shot.

2) The ability to keep confidentiality regarding the contents of RS 2

3) Sufficient technical knowledge to be able to read error messages if they arise and take and post screenshots on the beta forum

4) English criteria- not rigid but you should be able to converse and articulate issues

5) Evidence of participation on the forums

6) Mature and patient enough to be part of a large team working on a complex project

Any applications should be sent in a PM to MarcusTullius with the subject line reading: Beta Testing Application.

The applications will then be looked at by a committee of RS Dev members and you will hear back with the decision once discussion has been opened and a vote has been taken. If successful, you will be accepted into the ranks of the RS Beta testers!

If you think you have the skills, get applying!

Just an update on this.

We are going to be entering a new phase of beta testing very soon, with a new beta update and lots of new features in there: new units stats, economy, and loads of other stuff, all of which require extensive testing.

We welcome any new beta testing applicants who fit the criteria above.

Being able to post screenshots is a bit of a basic requirement for beta testing. Basically you can download FRAPS (google "fraps"). The free version will save images as .tga files which you have to convert using something like DDS converter 2 (again you can download for free) to a .jpg file in order to post it on the internet (most people post their pictures to www.imageshack.us). The pay version of FRAPS will allow you to save as .jpg but costs a few dollars.

The alternative is to use Howie's screencap program http://www.howiesfunware.com/loadSid...cSoftware.html

Yep, we're still looking. Quite a few more factions still to test and tweak thoroughly.

BTW, is anyone waiting to hear back from me about becoming a tester? I sometimes lose track.

Please address any beta test applications or queries to MarcusTullius from now on.

Any willing volunteers to help with the last stages of beta testing??

We could do with a few more people, ideally, to beta test the hellenistic factions and nomads.

If you got what it takes, please apply for beta testing.
