2.6 Testing (Report 2.6 problems here)

TheDog

@lafayette
To Do, Map Tags for each map and their ratings and era code?

LaFayette

@thedog Yes, though that is a data entry task after 2.6 is launched. We could get a head start with the prerelease data and I could copy that data to prod when we launch 2.6

In either case I will need the set of tag names and respective tag values to enter in database before we can 'tag' maps.

LaFayette

@ubernaut , moving only the truck, I do not see the problem you posted.

ubernaut

@lafayette not really sure how the inner working of the engine work but perhaps it has something to do anything that has changed in regards to however rails work? it seems as if it's treating the truck like a train when it's loaded if you control click to set way points you can force it to work as it should.

LaFayette

@ubernaut Moving only the train, with 2.6, I do not need to control click, it moves the 2 territory spaces.

test.tsvg

ubernaut

@lafayette there is no rail on that territory so i'm not sure what you are saying bc the train cannot follow the correct path the truck should

LaFayette

@ubernaut same with material loaded onto truck, observing movement of 2 spaces directly to target territory.

ubernaut

@lafayette i don't get it i thought you said you were also seeing the problem

LaFayette

@ubernaut At this point please be 100% specific about the problem. I'm only going off the screenshot, i do not know which units you have selected.

I am not aware that you're selecting, please clarify exactly what you are selecting.

ubernaut

@lafayette truck + material

LaFayette

@ubernaut thanks, yah, not seeing it.

ubernaut

@lafayette well if you want i can screen share with you or something

LaFayette

@ubernaut please start by posting a save.

ubernaut

@lafayette weird i just tried to replicate it twice maybe it's already been fixed somehow in the prerelease i'm using ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There's been lots of recent changes so I think it would be great if more folks could test the latest 2.6 prerelease for any problems.

TheDog

@myrd
One reason for the poor uptake in testing is the 2.6 map download servers dont work.
So players have to

download a map with 2.5
play/test in 2.6
link that with 2.6 unzipping problems

=too many hurdles.

LaFayette said
Map downloads are now dependent on the server and database to be operational. The database server on the prerelease server keeps crashing. It is currently crashed and probably has been for a bit now (before I was manually turning it back on every now and then).

Second, we also have disk space issues. That could be causing the DB to halt. Second, there might be something in the deployment that is killing the database.

Myrd

@thedog Yea, I did notice that.

I'm not sure why each version uses separate download servers. Why can't 2.6 just use the 2.5 servers?

beelee

yea i still can't use it. wtf lol

Myrd

@beelee

It works fine for me as long as I download maps with 2.5, so I have both around. Or is there some other problem as well you're running into?
