[Old] Mission briefing: Tracker entries

[Torr Samaho]

I could imagine the following scenario: If the list is completely done before the weekend, I can make a new beta build this weekend and announce: We plan to release build this as Zandronum 1.0. In case nobody finds any critical bugs in this build within one week, we will release this as final version after the week is over.

Get ready to release Zandronum in 10 days

Me and Qent tested #0000866, #0000833, #0000832 and #0000776 and they all have been fixed in the latest Alpha.

I'm going to take care of the remaining items on the list tomorrow (for for me, today in 12 or so hours)

[Watermelon]

ALL TESTED AND WORK. I had to note something for the hexen one though. You can cross them all off. Notes added to each one by myself on the tracker

EDIT: They were all tested online as well

[Torr Samaho]

Nice work! Meanwhile I marked two more tickets as "needs testing", would be nice if somebody could have a look at those.

This bug made me somewhat nervous about the problems the raised player limit may have introduced. Could the testing team go through as many of the popular mods / server settings as possible next week with the upcoming beta build to ensure that no other serious problems crept in here?

I think in this case we need to get 33 players and organize one big testing section for next week. Maybe if we try this Saturday we might be able to pull people from IRC if someone can mas highlight zandronum. I was thinking 4pm EST?

Of course a test with 33+ players would be great, but I'm actually more worried about bugs that also happen with less then 33 players. The bug I linked happened already with 1 player and was a total showstopper.

[Jonathan]

Should we start testing with less than 33 players or start with testing with 33+ players?

Hopefully we can get a huge test on varying things this weekend

Okay so whos going to host the test server? and also can it be Saturday?

[Qent]

I won't be able to handle more than about 8 human players, if that. Hopefully VP's around...?

Saturday (or Sunday) is fine, but just make note that SNS takes place on Saturday and it may keep some testing members from attending any testing run, unless it's for Saturday morning, before SNS begins.

Yes, I'm going to be around for that; however, I do have an exam on Tuesday that I will be studying for, so my time may be limited at best.

All in all, I can't really see us getting a whopping 33+ players for this on such short notice, but certainly we can try. Just let me know what kind of server (CTF, DM, coop, etc.) you want me to put up and the exact time (for the case of Saturday, morning might be best due to SNS) so I can set it up before then.

[Jonathan]

We should test each gamemode with 33+ players. so whoever hosts the test server should change the gamemode every hour or something that we'll all agree on.

Alright, took a day longer than I planned, but here is the new beta build, possibly the last one before 1.0 final: http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=781

@developers
Is there anything you want tested before release? Or just more 'testing' in general to weed out bugs?

[Torr Samaho]

This. Just use the latest beta build to play your favorite wads with your favorite settings. The more different wads / settings you test the better.

[Edward-san]

Wouldn't be bad to check for the flawlessness of the commands in console, server console, rcon and in command-line, too...

[Watermelon]

Confirmed, 33+ players in FNF. We had up to 38 (35 I think in game?) and no one had any problems. Went very smooth.

Correction => Had up to 40. But then again, there're these obvious scoreboard problems...
