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 are sure you have found a bug, feel free to submit a report directly.

We have a dedicated test server, which is updated every day with the new code. Please apply at #arianne if you would like to help with testing. You may need a test client, please note this is a slow download.

Tests specific to the next releases

• Trading, speak to Harold in Semos Tavern
• NPC speech, look out for having two separate lines when there should just be one reply, like this example which is wrong:

 <Ilisa> There, you are healed.
 <Ilisa> Thanks.

• Maze, please go to <npc>Haizen</npc> and say maze (no reward yet), and record how long it took you to reach the portal at the opposite corner
• Help <npc>Mrs. Yeti</npc> quest
• Herbs for <npc>Carmen</npc> quest
• The Pied Piper quest, please wait until <npc>Mayor Chalmers</npc> shouts about Ados city rat problems. Then:

• Come to him and ask him about rats.
• He will say to you number of rats to kill.
• Try to ask him about details.
• He should answer that you have killed no rats yet.
• Ask him about reward. He should answer to you, that you will get no reward until the invasion ends.
• Now kill all these rats in Ados city buildings, until Mayor shouts that all rats are killed. Then come back to him and ask about details.
• He will answer to you, which rats and how many rats you killed, and what is your reward money.
• Ask him about reward, and you will get the money and 5 karma.
• Then wait until quest will repeat. Now try testing the bad situation, where not all rats were killed in a certain time.
• In this case, Mayor will shout that the rats captured the city! He will call a rats exterminator, which will arrive in 1 hour. After that, the invasion will end and the quest will start from beginning. You could get your reward after exterminator calling.
• Since the instructions here have been quite explicit, also test if it is clear for newcomers what to do, without being told here. They must understand from the game what to do.

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 <npc>Diogenes</npc>.
• 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)
