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
• Help <npc>Mrs. Yeti</npc> quest

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)
