Wanted: Beta Testers

[Merth]

I need beta testers for my 0.5.0-DR2 server. To become a tester, follow the tutorial at http://forums.eqemu.net/viewtopic.php?t=9649 and join Merth's Florida Server. The server is only available Monday through Friday, 2am to 7pm (EST).

Guidelines
* Try as many actions/functions as you can - try to break something!
* Petition all bugs - bugs in the ooc/tell channels won't help
* Don't petition content bugs (ie, uber weapon missing or such-n-such mob is not spawned)
* Use #help to learn about commands available
* Only 10 people at a time are allowed onto the server
* This is not EQLive. Don't expect a flawless experience, both in server performance and in functionality.
* Items and spawns were quickly thrown together - a ton is missing, so there's no need to petition these issues.
* AA's are not functional on my server


Everyone is a GM on the server to allow you to fully test every feature. Since this is a beta, I have a low tolerance for poor behavior.

Hogie has promised to give a big sloppy kiss to the person who finds the most bugs.

[fnemo]

Merth new server is "Official EQemu Beta Server" if i dont mistake

I need feedbacks about the lag.
If you encounter any lag, please tell me :
- time (and time zone)
- ping / % of packet loss
- zone
- your hardware
- how many people in the zone
- how many people on the server

Thanks.

I'm posting this here, Since I can't even stay in game long enough to make a petition....

When trying to create a Vah Shir character, You find yourself spawned somewhere way up in the sky, promptly falling to your own death, unable to do anything to prevent it...

Upon relogging after death (since the client freezes) you again find yourself falling once again...

tahts a db problem with starting point (not a code problem)

I wouldn't mind helping you out Merth, give me a few days to get my computer running EQ again.

SIGNATURE TESTING, Don't Laugh!

Your signature test failed, and the colored text isn't helping.

[Lord Corellon]

I Know it's a DB problem and not a code problem....

But he said to report all problems... and it does more or less effectivly prevent someone from testing with that race....

I have received a huge item dump from Daeken that I believe has more items from EQLive than any other db prior to 0.5.0. I haven't validated any of the data, but if it's legit, I should have a fresh item database ready for the beta server tonight.

I wrote a makeshift item conversion function for 0.4.x blob to 0.5.5 field data. If you want it, PM me - but only PM me if you know c++. It's *that* crude.

I had a quick try of your server tonight Merth, but I got booted to server select everytime I zoned, either normally or with #zone. The final time it happened I /ooced to see if anyone else had the same problem, but immediately went LD :(

I am on ADSL, but I know my ISP has some issues at present (apparently ICMP flooding due to one of the new worms), so it may just be down to that.

[somestupidpunk]

Ok

[somestupidpunk]

Ok

[Merth]

I've had reports tonight that playing with your DataRate.txt file can fix LD a lot. Try 8.0 and go from there.

Hey Merth,

I forgot to report one bug i saw... I did notice that on the pally that i created whenever i scribed a spell it caused eq to crash.. Once i logged back in the spell was scribed and worked properly but everytime i scribe a spell it crashed eq entirely.. Just FYI... I'm sure you know about this but wanted to double check. In addition, I was curious if there was a known problem with spell affects still showing that they were on you but not affecting you (such as speed of vallon) after zoning? A small note* Great job looks like 0.5.0 is getting closer and closer to being ready for release.

Br,

[Merth]

Petition all bugs - bugs in the ooc/tell channels won't help

[Master Shake]

completely broken link, wont work if i insert existing forum either

[Kgaul]

Hey Merth,
Did you want us to report where there were no natural zone points? (ie the zone out of neriak, into nek forest is not there, also in N ro to e comm)

I only ask becouse i wasn't sure if you knew and were just intrested in major bugs or just wanted to know everything.

KG

[kinis]

no thats not an issue merth just didn't add zonepoints

[Meshy]

Are you all still looking for more beta testers?
