Bug Report Framework

Post by leigon »

Ive noticed you guys have had lots of topics like "help me" wich give no hint to the bug its self.
So to get noobs to report "bugs" :P I thaught up a little framework they could use:

_________________
Subject: :server: - :short bug name:
Main Form:
Name: (give it a name that represents it as close as possable)
Date/Time: (this gives the admins a time pariod so they can find this 'bug' on the server logs)
Bug Short Description: (a small description of what the bug does and how it impacts the game)
Steps To Recreate: (step by step instructions of what to do to activate this bug)
Attachments/Notes: (a small space to put screenshots of the bug in action and maby some personal coments)
_________________

e.g.:
Subject: ALL - Flameing Guy
Main Form:
Name: Flameing Guy
Date/Time: 26/05/04 14:43
Bug Short Description: For some reson I can set my guy alight on other people's screens.
Steps To Recreate: You need a tractor and a jetpack to recrate this bug.
1. Get In Tractor
2. Take off with Delete
3. Exit Vehical while holding Delete
4. You are now on fire to other people
Attachments/Notes: A verry funny bug and all... I left the screen shots off to save bandwith but it is cinda funny.
