TripleA Needs Your Help - Call for 2.0 Beta Testers
-
@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)?
-
@SilverBullet https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues
FYI: When you create an in-game error report, it gives you the link to the bug report that is created.
@Cernel no, not removed. Specific questions/issues, let's address them in github issues please.
-
Why are beta testers asked to create bug reports directly and not report issues here?
- The bug report has all all the questions that we need for each bug report. Not including the answers will lead to us asking those questions. Asking about all such things in this one forum thread will be overwhelming.
- Each bug needs its own tracking. We need to know that every single one is fixed, can't let one slip through on page 4.
- Each bug has a separate conversation, first details if we have any trouble seeing the problem. Sometimes a bug will need a developer conversation on how to fix the code before we can actually proceed. Some of those conversations are lengthy. Adding a few pages here to discuss one fix will drown out other conversation.
- We need to keep testing moving, can't stay focused on one topic, we want a rapid fire gatling gun of bug reports here.
FWIW, the bug report form is really minimal, has the essential questions and then a few less, and should take a fraction of the time it does to do any level of thorough beta testing.

I like version 2.0 of TripleA. However, I found a bug that prevents units from being placed on a map. I attempted to place various types of purchased units on the Greyhawk and each time the game basically crashed.
-
@Greg-Anderson I believe you are supposed to report that in the GitHub repository linked at the opening post, adding the savegame.
-
@Cernel I already submitted for bug reports today, including this one. I was just commenting to give some feedback and mention a notable bug.
I'll keep beta testing.
-
I just noticed another major bug while testing TripleA 2.0 with the Greyhawk map. Units cannot move to territories controlled by the same power or move to transport ships. The ships themselves cannot even change sea zone.
I already submitted a report but I wanted to mention it in more detail here.
-
@Greg-Anderson i think you can go to github, and find your error report, and type in your name and comments in the comment section so the admins can see who reported the bug and to get more info. when you use the bug reporter, it doesnt automatically give your name or all the details, so if you could provide your name and details they can help better.
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues use this link to see all bugs reported, find yours and comment in it.

From what I have seen, the bugs I've noticed only seem to affect the Greyhawk Wars map, which is quite peculiar. The map worked well in version 1.9 so I am unsure as to where the problem might be.

I want to thank everyone that has stepped up and helped test 2.0. It's never enough testing, but ya'll are in the trenches and I want to say thank you for your help. The number of bug reports rolling in has certainly increased, I hope the fixes can keep pace, please keep at it!

So many bugs reported, and well reported too, good work! There really has been a surge in reports in the last few weeks. I tip my hat to the group
For context/guidance, the "Must-Do" column of the release project is roughly what is left now: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/projects/14, not much especially compared to the massive 41 items in the 'done' column.
Alright, one last push! Please download the latest, and see what you can find. Most problems have been fixed in latest. The next week is going to be critical, if we are just unable to find anything, then it'll be release time! Hopefully this would be one of the best and biggest TripleA releases, presenting TripleA 2.0! (We simplified the numbering, so it's actually a 1.10, but we figured we'd start using that first number and make it look a bit grander
)God speed & good hunting!
