TripleA Needs Your Help - Call for 2.0 Beta Testers
-
@LaFayette ok, i am starting to nudge people over to the new lobby. i hope there will be enough open bots once the migration starts.
-
@SilverBullet some caution in doing so. The prerelease lobby is for those that really want to do testing and are going to be reporting any/all problems they see. We'll probably start to do the nudging of the full herd perhaps as early as this Sunday. For that we'll have a new production lobby up for them to join, the accounts created there would be permanent (and existing accounts hopefully cleanly migrated).
-
@LaFayette ok
-
@LaFayette
I agree. Just thinking we've reached the point where at least idk what else to test
-
Hello everyone, I just downloaded the beta. Two issues right away...
-
When loading a save game it doesn't remember human/cpu players. After you select them it loads ok. Be nice if it remembered like older versions so you could return to a game later without having to remember.

1941 AA50 map, playing as Japan. Round 1. Attempting to move the transports in seazone 61 to the Philippines. They start loaded in the game. The transports move but the troops remain in seazone 61. This is only the case for the preloaded transports, I used Germanys transport with no issue.

@cuda418 I believe bug reports in here are not wanted (they are wanted in the proper bug tracker).

Works for me using 18843. So, maybe this is a very recent problem, if you just downloaded the latest.
-
Oh, my bad. I dont have github and all that so I will just let it be and hope someone else catches the bugs and go back to using the older versions.
-
FWIW it's quick @cuda418 to create a github.com account; the bug report should be easy as it asks you the questions we need and you wont' have to worry about us endlessly asking the those same questions back to you. Submitting bug reports certainly is not zero effort, it's a balance of gathering the information we'll always want/need and keeping it easy.

There are a good number of items to test:
- map downloads
- engine preferences
- game technologies
- battle rules (with some emphasis on subs and retreat)
- carrier rules
- play by email
- play by forum
- dice roller
- multiplayer games (can be done by hosting locally and connecting to the same game locally again; does not require a bot per-say)
- any/all lobby functionality, join the lobby multiple times, leave lobby with one window, test out slaps, status updates
- all file menu options and menu items.
Hopefully going forward we'll get back to releasing more frequently, one to two times a month until we decide to do a 3.0; In part because it's been such a long time since we did testing and so many changes, pretty much everything needs to be re-tested by hand, which is just a giant effort (hence the frequent releases makes this easier on all)
-
Good to see the in-game report function being used. For this group, please comment on any such issues created so we can know who to talk to and get to fixes sooner. Some of these errors we'll be interested to know more details to get at a fix.
-
@LaFayette ive been having trouble starting a domination solo game.
-
@SilverBullet please use this form:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/new?assignees=&labels=Pre-Release+Problem&template=prerelease_problem.md&title=include as much detail as you can so we can have as good of an idea of what you are doing and seeing.
-
@LaFayette didnt the ingame report work?
-
It does, but does not say who it's from, what the impact is, where it's being seen. We get only a code location and the error message that something happened.
-
@SilverBullet all i was doing was trying to start a new domination game and it gave me an error, i used in game report, and it acted like it accepted it
-
@LaFayette impact was it didnt launch,lol
-
@SilverBullet it did, but it's without context for us. If you can find it and comment, would be helpful.
-
In part, also do not want this thread to start discussing all details of every prerelease problem. We've fixed over 25, and we have about 5 that are active. Please consider what it would be like if we had to talk everyone through all of those, technical discussions as well, all in the same thread. No way we could track it all and keep it straight. Hence why I mentioned if you cut a problem report, to find it, comment on it, and we can ask questions that will help us figure out what a good fix is, and we'll have a place where we can discuss between ourselves what a fix should be.
-
@LaFayette where do i look to find it? here or github? oh snap, i cant even load a revised game without getting that same error message. i did yesterday, no problem.

Has the "Show Comment Log" feature been removed from TripleA, in 2.0 (meaning the ability to add user comments in game history)?
