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 change, you need the new client!)

Outfits

• Colour your outfit
  • Choose a new colour for your outfit (clothes + hair)
  • Does the colour stay when you log out and in again?
  • Take a look at https://stendhalgame.org/?id=content/scripts/character&test=testdb&name=XXXX, replacing XXXX with your character name. Does your player image get coloured like your character in the actual game? (Notes: 1. log out before opening the page to ensure the website gets updated. 2. There are some differences in the colouring methods used in the game and the website, so the images are not necessarily identical, but they should look sufficiently similar).

Groups

• Group invites
  • Try to invite buddies directly from the Buddylist using the right click menu
  • Try to invite a player directly from the world by using the right click menu

Dialogues

• Dialogues can be closed by tapping escape

Server changes

Map changes

• Changed Semos City Map
  • Walk a bit over the Semos City map and search for layer errors (which are hopefully not there :) )
  • If you find any, please create a bug report and give useful information in it like the coordinates where it shows up
  • Do the new paths who guides to the west and south out of Semos make sense? Does the paths structure and palisade wall fit? (any collisions which aren't set correctly?)

• Kikareukin style changed
  • Take a look at level 4 and 5 and take care of layer faults or tiled errors

• Mountain maps changed
  • Test Semos Mountain maps, they changed their style a bit
  • Watch out for stuff like waterfalls or other regions which might need some sounds and report these

• Special maps
  • Semos Xmas, Easter, Revival Weeks need some testing

NPC changes

• More Semos city NPCs give some helpful information
  • Ask a few NPCs in Semos and check their help sentences out

Fixes

• Fixed Tad and Ketteh Wehoh
  • Take a look at the descriptions and see if they fit (Ketteh and Tad exchanged places in the latest release)
  • Does the quest work properly and do the dialogues fit?
• Blood on gates can't block doors anymore (test the system out by gates like the new one near by the wolves in Semos city)

• Players can not attack others from protected areas

Revival Weeks

• Semos city Halloween map created, needs testing
• Check the Mine Town Revival Week map out
• Load the Revival Weeks over the script when you are an admin on your localhost for testing NPC coordinates and game positions
• Test Paper Chase especially and watch out for bugs in the dialogue

Achievements

• New Achievements: Mainio equipment set and Vegetarian see https://stendhalgame.org/?id=content/scripts/character&test=testdb&name=kymara

Items

• More minimum levels for items
  • Take a look at http://stendhalgame.org/wiki/Stendhal_Item_Ideas and compare minimum levels and items with each other
  • Comment on levels from which you think they don't fit at IRC #arianne
  • Get the items on the server and see if all minimum levels are in which are shown on the webpage

• 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:

• FishermansLicenseQuiz from the fisherman in Ados huts
• Meet Io
• Getting a maze from Haizen chatlog needed: solving maze, chatlog there for: player logs off while doing it
• Meet Zynn Iwuhos
• Dice Gambling with Ricardo Junit test needs creation still
• Trading with Harold
• FindJefsMom
