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.

Client changes (for this, you need the new client!)

• added a selector for the audio device in the settings dialog
• chat-tabs for private and main conversations

Web site

• added a button for social networks on news items using the Two clicks for more privacy approach.

World changes

• RECENTLY ADDED: Mixed creature fighting profiles. Used mainly for dragons, who will attack at a distance if they can't get close to player
• Users can grab items bound to them even if they are under another player
• Introducing Will at the exit of Semos city on Semos road
• Reworked Fado hotel restaurant, needs some layer checks
• Zinnia, Calla, Lobelia and Periwinkle hint which nearby quests you still need to start (that fit your level)
• Killer Bees as new creatures added
• Olmo in Fado forest south needs testing removed for this release
• Venethiel teaches players about the maze
• slightly changed Ortiv Milquetoasts dialogue (the normal one, not the quest one)
• Anything else on the list of recent changes
• reworked the in-game spam protection

Bug fixes

• Scroll eraser needs testing
• Fixed chocolate bar bug, Dale needs to be asked for all variations and he should ask for a specific chocolate kind if using "buy chocolate"
• reworking stairs of int_ados_town_hall_1 (2,4)for preventing blocking by players
• reworked door of Fado bank for preventing blocking by players

Testing for those with a localhost installation

In the context of magic development we need help with reproducing a specific error, that occured on our test server. You can help by trying to reproduce it in your local testenvironment. If you have questions or want to provide details on how you reproduced the error, please come to our IRC channel on freenode.

At Ideas for Stendhal/Magic you can find detailed information on magic and spells.

To be able to reproduce please follow this instructions.

1. Add the system property stendhal.testserver to your server configuration

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:

• FishermansLicenseQuiz from the fisherman in Ados huts
