2.25 playtest #5 (13.09.2009 19:00 UTC)

This playtest will be hosted at KaneTW's server. We'll be looking at CPU use in different parts of the engine. That's why we need as many testers as we can get.

WE START ONE HOUR LATER (I can't change the topic).

Code:

Excused:
Empty -- sleeping
DrummerX -- probably at wedding, unless cancelled
theotherjms -- two week vacation
metal smith -- work
Marcin -- religion class
Trickster -- not at home at the time

 

I will try to remain awake for 24 hours just because I'm such a nice person.

 

You do realise there isn't really anything stopping people from just lying and making up an excuse even if they don't have one?

I may have been overzealous on my earlier statement, don't be too suprised if I can't attend due to being asleep. If you're wondering why I am not awake at six in the evening it's because I have insomnia and when I sleep and wake is pretty much random.

If there's anything we can test without being on the server, do tell, I'll give it a go when I am awake.

 

I don't really understand the point of kicking testers when we apparently haven't got enough of them.

 

I think the logic is that there are enough, but they aren't testing.

Removing them won't fix that though, not sure what will other than getting new ones, which doesn't require removing the old ones.

 

Kane and Brutos made most of this drama. We have 100 members of playtester steam group and I wanted to remove totally inactive people. Most of them don't have SVN access anyway.

I wrote that I want excuses because people who won't write anything won't be active (they no longer care).

Removing inactive testers doesn't lower the number of testers at announced events.

 

it is good to know the pool of usefull testers

i bet if someone gets removed because neglectance they can get back in later, no?

is there gonna be a steamgroup announcement? i often mess up with time zones

 

What about peope who are still updating the SVN thingy? Thanks to Kane I've got mine working now and it's going quite fast but I can't garrantee it will be done by then. Is there anyway to tell how big the download is? Then at least I could work out how long it's going to take?

Oh, and could someone invite me into the Steam Testing Group?
Thanks

 

There is one

 

Most likely won't be able to make it because of the awkward time.

 

Mootant time.

 

my empires is still not updated

 

I actually need to be invited to the Steam Testing Group, too...

 

I sort of dropped off the face of the earth for the past few months, i wont be able to make this one since i need to get stuff sorted about uni but im updating my SVN and can hopefully make the next one (depending on what day it is due to work)

 

Then remove the ones who didn't sign up for SVN access.

 

I'll try make it.
I'll either be passed out due to lack of sleep, doing homework or pissed off with svn because it broke again.

 

Don't remove me yet, I know I haven't been active but the SVN never works for me (fail-internet). But with the steam server thingy up, I might be able to work this out.

 

Apologies for not being able to attend. I'm currently at home (my computer is at my gf's house, hence why I type 'brb' so often :p), I'll try to be online in two hours.

 

You're a dev, you don't need to come

 

But I want to
