Test server is up and running again.

With what new things, and/or what things needing testing?

The upcoming performance enhancements require that our database is beeing restructured. This migration of our data is subject to the current test. In other words: Please take a close look if all your games still work the way they should, if they are still there etc. Try deleting some games, check if you can still play other games that use the same map etc. Sadly the editor did not manage to make the jump yet and is currently broken. Again ... thanks a lot testers.

The Replay is broken.

Out of curiosity, and to help feed biased, prejudicial stereotyping: What database software are you guys running?   For that matter, what technologies/languages are involved?  (Java libraries, third-party software, etc.)

I went to the Test server and tried to register but i didn't receive an e-mail.  The test server and live server databases are completely different, right?  so my login info wouldn't exist in the test server DB?  Is this a private testing cycle or do I need to be invited or something?

Thanks!

i've been invited several times to the test server and applied myself several times and still haven't got any email from the test server.

If there anything you devs can do for me I want to be on the test server.

My emails:

dpache1@lsu.edu

dpacheco4@excite.com

I just sent out a few more invites.. @depache1: http://test.weewar.com/user/dpache1 you might have missed your invite email? Try the password reminder.

I would not object to having access to the test server

Likewise

(Another one that your emailer doesn't seem to want me to have... )

I would not object to having a map editor...  

@Alex(ander): thanks, i got the invite!

If we encounter any issues, where/how should we log them?  Here on Tangler?

And what is the policy on sending invites to the Testing server?  Just to self for testing?  Or to Weewar members active on these lists?

Invite as many players as you like. Each time Test.weewar is online, it's only for a very brief period. More testers hopefully find more bugs.

sweet!!! i'm on the test server

Noticed some oddities on testing server:

+On the test server, my player's recruited number hit 11, but it profile page still says I have a Basic Account type - i cannot access pro units either.

+Setting up a New Game w/ Basic Account - there are map options that contain Pro terrain patches which are selectable.  you can start the game and capture harbors and airfields, but then you get a blank list of unit options to build. (Dust, SunTzu Rush)

defbyte: AFAIK, Pro accounts are always awarded manually, even for those that achieve >= 10 recruitments.

pistos: whoa, really?  I am surprised the system doesn't automatically do that!

oh, and i swear it doesn't count a surrender as a user completing a game (to get your points towards pro account).  i noticed my recruitment number did not increment until i played that invited user to the DEATH

I ran into a bug in this game on the test server

I moved one of my hovercraft and attacked in round 9 which finished off my opponent's h'craft and mine took some counterattack damage.  Afterward my hovercraft moved back to where he started, but with his turn used up and the counterattack damage undone.

Also, the chat window was completely blank until I ended my turn.

I'll leave it in Turn 10 for a couple hours in case it helps to figure out what happened before I do my next turn.  FYI, the hovercraft near the north-central base that has a strength of 5 is the one that did the buggy behavior

I've had something possibly related where I attacked a trooper and knocked 7 points off it (from 10), before I had finished my turn it had gone back to full health but the unit I had used was still in "already used" mode. Couldn't pin point exactly when it reverted because I was doing other stuff and not paying attention to subunit numbers 

I guess I found the wrong test-thread for this
