Beta download

Post by **Mit** » Sun Feb 26, 2006 1:26 am

49.6 beta's are now up for those of you with access. A few changes, a few new unfinished bits, some of which are turned off, but all those green bars from the bug reports forum should be included here.

New text/chat stuff is possibly a bit wonky - and theres likely to be lil bugs in various other areas (its what beta is all about :]) - so if you're able to do a bit of testing on that (and all the other bug fixes in general), I'd be interested to hear of any problems/dislikes/'bits that definitely need finishing before a proper release'.

Cheers

Ick stuff:
1. Going into small mode and back messes up spacestation keyboard controls. (Inside the lounge going into the arcade leads you into space trade,etc)
2. Zooming out alot in spectator mode does wierd things to the view (unviewable,rains only around you,etc)
3. Rockets seem broke (Check mechzone)
4. In a world where you can't change teams by command (.team 1,.team 2,etc) going into spec. and pressing esc then 1 or 2 allows you to change teams. (mechzone)
5. Spacestation lights flicker (the texture on the spacestation)
6. When privately communicating in space the last letter you type is erased
7. Ariya has a ping despite not being found and Sabarda at times has a ping of 0 despite it have players on it (2nd not shown) : (fipro ping oddity)Click for pic
8. TU freezes in-game and out for some reason...

Eh stuff:
1. Under comm channel The Guide and Webnews link to the same thing.
2. Browser title is blurred but readable abit. (Space)
3. You can dock quicker by pressing F10 twice and launch again by pressing F8 twice.
4. Under the help menu in a world,"game interface" seems to copy any option chosen before it under the help menu
5. Rain still plays when you leave a world
6. Finite menu description (under the worlds and ping) is missing
7. Spacestation is missing while launching (Mechzone,Zoric,Treasure Island)
8. Guild is not shown inventory list

No more spacetube in the spacestation? Aww...
The interface icons need work but besides that It's smoooth...
Anyways I'm off to see what wonderful features I can find.

1. F5 Help list in space station doesn't scroll when you go off-page using page-down or page-up.
2. I can't access the guild chat tab from Small Mode.

ship capacity has changed - loss of 5 tons on stellar freighter, dunno about other ships. is this deliberate or random?

graphics glitches after resizing window, upon clicking comms button (same as the Seer's "bug 2" after being in small mode)

Are you kidding me? Lose of 5t! It not worth the price now...I don't want that ship since it lost 5t!

can you accept my beta tester application so i can download?

Post by **Magicfinger** » Sun Feb 26, 2006 9:18 pm

why post in two different places? do you really think that any of the staff are going to get to it quicker because of two posts?...all you have suceeded in doing is slowing it down by making me read more stuff.

dramaking444 · Post by **dramaking444** » Sun Feb 26, 2006 9:19 pm

sorry but my application hs been there about a week

Post by **Magicfinger** » Sun Feb 26, 2006 9:22 pm

being a 'closed' beta tester is not an automatic right.. and we all have lives/comitments outside of this game and would prefer to be modelling/coding in the limited ammount of time that we have rather than trawling through the forums reading dbl posts.

all shall come to those that wait.

1. After going into and out of small mode the game crashed every time i tried.

2.Space station is invisible once you launch from it.

3.In the information main frame on the main menu there is no option below galactic credits but it continues to go one row down every time you hit page down.

4. Planets disappear once you use click stardrive, making it possible for you to land on a planet and not know you did it.

5.Most planets say "Not currently online" until you go to them, and some stay saying that even tho they are online.

6.Comms channel fails to show up on screen.

7.I don't have the best sight in the world so it took me a while to find the close button on the galactic radio, might wanna make ti a bit more noticeable.

8.Some times after returning from small mode volume increases dramatically, to the point where just the humming of the space ship scared the crap outta me.

9.When in a space station and buying or selling something clicking arrow up or down could either increase or decrease the amount, or click whatever text is behind it.

10. Buttons in space station don't always work.

11.Buttons in space station don't always take you to the right menu.

Wait can this beta testing be a bad thing or a good thing...Because beta testing goes in so many directions. It getting complex for me with the new updats and me finding stuff that are messed up like the private chat where all I can hear from paint was |0| and I tried to type hello but it came out to be hell

I'm not Mit, but I can tell you that you need to specify what buttons don't work before it's any useful.
