OK, we have to play!

I say today and tomorrow 29-30.10.2005, 17:00 GMT.
If you want to see what it will be your local time check this out http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html (just fill in your city under the UTC-GMT time).

Server:
Selfkill Beta|84.254.75.8:24275|

Any questions/complaints?

definately cant, it will be like 3:00 am in sydney i think

Well you would have nasty pings anyways, SK is in Germany. You could try to setup your own session.

I'll be out in the countryside ;<

tomorrow sounds good =)

today i got chinese school

Count me in.

ill be there, at least today :p

Nobody showed up today. Two people logged in at some random time but that's it. I'll release this version without testing if you don't come play! :p. So be sure to come tomorrow, be sure to get the correct time and tell everyone that doesn't know about the session.

1 PM Tommorrow gotcha!

Sorry guv, was busy. :(

oki I will come tomorow.

meh, I missed the time playing a football managing game :/

Sorry, I hadn't even seen the topic until now. I'll make sure to make it tomorrow.

So that's the way it works? once we don't apear and on the other day u don't MM?
anyway, it doens't realy matter since NOBODY is here but me spyder and knot, it seems we need MORE betatesters :\

Well I was there but it seems an hour earlier than you guys. Either we mobilize or we get more testers.

We need more testers Michal. Problem is our current beta team is a little too 'relaxed' and dare I say uninterested anymore. It's hard to organise anything anymore, even discussing who to join the beta team.

Which is why I inspired others towards the plan of public balance testing. A bit of a long-shot, but it might fill the gap we have for testing balance.

I'd have been there if I could play online at university :(

Oh you were in the server MM? :O
I joined it about 15 min later and it was only with terminal
btw, u've fixed the nade bug somehow and the backflip is lagging a bit now ^_^

Let's do it again tomorow at the same time? :o

I missed it cause I forgot about the time change and assumed that the session started one hour later :S

Bah daylight savings time [CENSORED]ed me over :\

damn. Now we have to wait for another week for the weekends, cause I think most people are busy with school on weekdays...

//I can do it today, it might be the last chance this week OK? So I'll //be there 5:00GMT.

EDIT: It seems I can't make it, darn :(. So gather some people for some other day ok?

I have no problem with more beta testers or even public beta but it is hard to keep track of the bugs. Maybe you can give this beta to your friends/clanmates/mom/whatever and have them join the game, then you'll be responsible for collecting bug data from them?

/me goes to give beta out ^_^

Seems like an idea that'd get the beta spread extremely fast, which may not be good.

Anyway, on topic, let's decide on a date and time and I'll set my alarm clock for it. :O

I think thats what he wanted, seeing as he said public beta would be ok :\ lol

So we should really get something started here.
The activity is a huge problem at the moment. The missing testing is a bigger problem than you might think. We are only discussing at the moment, but we never get a real conclusion. Shouldn't everyone in a beta testing team notice if the tested game has balancing problems? I mean, for example it can't be that one part of the people say Barret is a big problem, others say it's not a problem at all. If that's just the way it is, we wouldn't really need a beta testing team, the public could do the same job. But I think just the activity is the problem here. We used to test much more. We had several Slaughter Sessions where we could practically see if a weapon deserves being nerfed or not. So let's try to get things started again..

I suggest a date that's a little further away. So what about Saturday, 12.11.2005, 5pm GMT? Please say if you have time!
If we have the date and the people, the only problem is a server. But I doubt it's impossible to organize a server in 5 days. So let's see what we can do.

Comments on date/time please!

Seems fine for me.

It's fine. Maybe we should meet on IRC first, it's easier to sit there than on the game and wait for people?

We always discuss / hang out in #soldat.beta in QuakeNet (Password: Wolf3d)
You can find someone in there at any given time usually :)

Edit: Made link clickable..

What about the SK Beta Server? It seems to be a public 1.3 server at the moment. Can we use this server for testing 1.3.1d?

Has the SK beta server been updated yet? Cause last time I checked it wasn't updated with the lastest server patch.

Also, I can't make it for saturday =( is it okay if it's on sunday?

Michal has full control over it, he only needs to update it :p

I'll update the server when it is time to play.
So we're meeting this saturday. Can we get more testers this time. b00stA?

Yes, we're still tinkering with the list of new beta testers, but I guess we can agree on some new people for now and add others later.

It seems that I can't be here next saturday after all since I am visiting my grandparents.

So it seems that.. noone will come? 2 of.. 20? Betatesters replied here, great. We could set the date to Sunday, but I highly doubt anyone would come anyway..

I will be on IRC.

ill be there probably, cant promise though, its saturday and im low on free time this school year ;o

how about we do it both saturday AND sunday?

im a no go for the entire weekend...i have exams next week...and this week for that matter...so i'll be studying and doing homework like a mad man =(

i'll be free after wednesday next week though =/

Ok I would be here at saturday and sunday :)

I can try to be here on Saturday, but I don't think I will make it :( I'm going to go home this weekend so I don't think I will be hanging around the computer much :\

I'll probably be able to make it. I'll hope anyways.

I'll be there.

i'll gladly test the new (?) barret.

I don't think i'll be able to make it :(.

I should be there.

I got a test on monday wich I have to study for :/
I'll try to be there tho :)

Hello btw (first post in beta forums)

Welcome, and OMG...... SuperKill is still alive.
btw SK, you could test the "new barret" at the public weapon ballance forum coz in the beta forums it doesn't exist, besides.. it's too annoying, you'r barret user, u'd better help us nerfing it.

The address of the beta server has changed, please update your fav_servers.txt

Selfkill Beta|84.254.75.8:24374|

Just to remind, there's a meeting in 15 minutes. Be on IRC also:
irc://irc.quakenet.org:6667/Soldat.Beta?Wolf3d

next time we should somehow split up and play ctf in 4v4 or 3v3 (clanwar conditions). todays session wasnt really productive in terms of testing :p

I'd be up for doing that. Upon joining today I got kicked with the "wrong map version" message, and upon rejoining recieved a message saying "I/O error" or something similar...any ideas there? I just restarted Soldat and could rejoin a little later.

The geologist, I've just opened a topic about the bugs I've just found and it's one of them, look what's happened to me exactly.

anyone up for a session tomorrow at the same time and place?

If I can get up that early, absolutely.

Same. I'm game if I'm awake.

I would be there.

Any chance of playing Monday-ish (tomorrow)? I'm not able to play Soldat until then.

<quote> 'd be up for doing that. Upon joining today I got kicked with the "wrong map version" message, and upon rejoining recieved a message saying "I/O error" </quote>
Probably a bad packet arrived and the map got corrupted.

We got to arrange another meeting. Can you make it during weekdays, at 5:00PM?

Sure, why not? :)

Hey guys, wanna set anything up for sunday or the following couple of days?

Yay! The past week was busy as all hell, but now I'm on break. Seven days of little to nothing to do. I'm open near any time for a match.

Anything tomorrow sunday?

Tomorow is fine by me but I'm affraid it's too late notice.
try to be there tomorow at 5pm GMT. See You there.

I'll release a new beta this weekend so we'll play then. I'll give a specific time when it is done.

Sounds good, my weekend is clear and Ill keep it open for some quality testing time.
Sunday is most likely the best day for me, but im very flexible due to my previous un-employment, just gives me more time for 'dat :D.

sunday is the best day for me also, cause i have saturday school as usual >_<

Sunday would be nice. Been a long time since I could partecipate :>

ATTENTION !
Slaughter Session: Sunday 5:00GMT (usual time).

Does anybody have a weapons mod file that we should play? Please post it here.

Just woke up so my brain isnt functioning to well.
Guys im having some trouble with this time converter thing.
Im in texas, central time zone.

I'll probably be there. Maybe having two slaughter sessions in both the Selfkill and U13 beta servers would be good (provided with enough people).
Also, reckon, it's on at noon where you are, I think.

i am good for tomorrow =) i will be there!

I would be there too :)
I've been working with some guys from beta team on a new weapon ballance :
http://llsc.us/members/BugsRevenge/uploads/Comb131New.ini
**you could see all the changes in the file on the "*" **
PLEASE upload it to ur servers so we could test it --> MM.

Yeah if the non-euro huys could play on U13 servers it would be great.
Bugs Revenge: I'll check that WM file.

ok cool and about the U13 servers, it's kind of a problem since most of the europeans got there about 200 ping, I'm from Israel so got there 300 :X

So do we actually have a non-euro server now?..

Sorry I couldn't be there, some random events. Fortunately I setup the server earlier. Did you play, any bugs?

It was more of a balance discussion rather than bug-play today.

yes we did play..
MM there's a bug from the last version, I guess somekind of bug+lag.. when someone moves team..
you could keep seeing him as red for ex. even though he's moved to the blue team..
most of the players would see him in the wrong side, it happeneds quite a lot..
another bug is that some players joins and coz of the lag I guess you just can't see them, they don't even apeare for some players, please make is some forced so everyone could see the others and the lag wouldn't effect...

New info, please check my new post: http://www.soldatforums.com/topic.asp?topic_id=29531&whichpage=2
