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.

There are many deep changes to core code in Stendhal 0.99 - so please also follow the list of standard tests below

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

• Outside maps should get darker during the (server time) night. Check that it works, and that the night time and sunrise colours look reasonable. Note that the nights are fairly short (7 hours from start of sunset to the end of sunrise).
• Please keep an eye on your average CPU:

In normal daylight or with the colouring switched off in your Settings Panel

In Semos City, Ados City and Fado City where the lights don't overlap animated tiles

In Kalavan Castle, Eonna's basement, Kalavan City and Kirdneh City where there are lights which overlap animated tiles

• Bridal outfit has a veil
• Improvements to some hair and outfits

World changes

• include ATK and DEF to the player strength calculation when checking if attacking is allowed
• pushing of players with items under them by moving the items with the player
• Scroll eraser (rare drop, summon one to try it out)
• Anomyised admin names in /supportanswer and /supportanswer automatically using postman when player is offline
• Producer npc time prediction before agreeing task
• New npc Marie-Henri in Ados library with a little quest
• new dreamscape map (changes per release now)
• Restart the owner timer of protected corpses when the corpse is moved

• 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
