Testing Stendhal is not only fun, it's also very important because it can solve problems before releases. If you find any problems or need help with testing please ask at #arianne. If you have found a bug, feel free to submit a report directly.

We have a dedicated test server on stendhalgame.org Port 32100. It is refreshed with new code and a new copy of the real database once a day. You can login with your normal account, if it is a least one day old.

You may need a test client. Please note that the test client will not update automatically.

Just save the stendhal-1.48.5.zip file, extract it into a new folder, then double click the stendhal-1.48.5.jar.

Tests specific to the next releases

You can use a 1.48 release client to logon to test server, but if you want to test the 1.48.5 client you can do so.

• Stendhal Achievements - please pick an achievement category and try to reach some achievements from it, we need to check they are really reachable (e.g before in the live server the deer hunter one wasn't reachable, is it now?) what about for the ones to try all foods or finish all quests in ados city, we might have got conditions wrong, are they okay?
  • Hint: focus on the new ones which are not yet in the live server or were not yet completed in the live server: [1]
  • I've put the most up to date list of achievements on the test server at Talk:Stendhal_Achievements - you could mark against those in a new column if you have tested them?
  • https://stendhalgame.org/?id=content/scripts/character&test=testdb&name=kymara for example will show what achievements your test server character has reached
  • Please use the test server to check new achievements and check against the test server achievements link above. The test server has newer achievements which need testing.
• Find Jefs Mom quest in Kirdneh City
  • does Jef react correctly to all keywords now?
• Changed coordinates of Amber
  • does she stop flirting with Aldrin?
• Talk with Imorgen and Mircea in Fado forest
  • Do they answer to everything marked?
• Chest flicker should be removed - is it?
• Anything else on the list of recent changes

Notes

• When you do each stage, read your console log.
• For quest testing: if you want to use an existing char, that has done most quests, you can reset all quests by saying cleanme! (with "!") to Diogenes.
• The test server log is here and can be useful to check if something strange happened (just scroll to the bottom for the latest entries)

Create chat log for tests

Please try to play dumb and fool the NPC by asking stupid question which may confuse him. For example say that you already have the items you are supposed to fetch although this is not true, yet. Reject the quest first time and only return later to accept it. Try to ask to start the quest again once it has finished, this kind of thing.

Please say Bye when you want to finish the conversation if the NPC is still listening.

We need full chat dialog for these quests:
