Update 5/14/06- This thread is now obsolete. If you have any questions or comments, please PM me instead. I'll be remaking the thread as a more general one as soon as the map is completed and ready for final beta testing.
End of line.
Update 4/29/06- Beta 02 is done. I'm about to release it to my current testers, but unfortunately I won't be adding any new tester slots just yet until I finish the final chapter. Don't think it's because I'm being selective or anything. All I want is a confirmation with Beta 02 that everything works before moving on to the final part. I've added a few new goodies and toned down the difficulty on many parts, as well as (hopefully) fixed all the major bugs found thus far. Alll I really need is a confirmation everything works, so there's really no reason to open up more tester slots.
Besides, you'll thank me more for letting you see it in it's finished form instead of an unfinished beta.
Update 4/26/06- Ok I've compiled the list of bugs so far and am about to begin working on it. Feel free to continue testing, but keep in mind I'll be asking everyone to test from scratch again when I get BETA02 done.
I should have some new tester slots open by then too, so it's not too late to get in if you want. But keep in mind you shouldn't ask to test if you're just curious about it or want to "experience" it. If that's the case, I'd rather you experience the finished release rather than an unfinished beta (and you'll probably agree when you see it done too). That's not the point of testing anyway.
Thanks for the help so far guys. Didn't think you'd break my map that easily tho.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeap now it's time to start with beta testing. I have only the final section to complete and then the whole thing will be done at long last. But before I move on to the final part, I want to make sure everything's in working order.
That is where you guys come in. I've just passed out the first beta to all the testers on the list below, but keep in mind it will be missing the final chapter and will also be locked and unplayable without a special in-game password. I don't really want this copy floating around; whether by accident or on purpose (which has happened before), so please use some discretion.
Anyway here's the scoop: For now you guys can play around with the map as you like, but later I'll ask you each to focus on specific parts to help test. If you see anything that seems strange, have any unusual trouble, or else get stuck (you must tell me about these), then pause the game, open up notepad, and write down when and where it happened and report it to me after you're done playing.
Hopefully I've weeded out all the major bugs so far, but I dunno usually you guys end up finding things that I've missed. Be sure and tell me if it's something repeatable or not.

Well there's cutscenes, but no cinematics per say. Everything IN the cinematic trailer you'll get to play in the map itself (except those first few parts and that last part; they were meant for Rush part 2).

Well, if it can be tested in single player I would, although my battle.net is messed up so multiplayer wouldn't really work.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Tuxedo Templar on 2006-04-25 at 06:57:27
It's meant for single player. Though be sure to run it in an empty LAN game and not vanilla single player, or you'll have problems.

Shouldn't Tux let people test his map by choosing those who actually don't just lurk around on these forums? People who you're testing just post once or twice.. Think that's a good idea?? :/

I would hope it is based on what kind of points of view you are getting of your map... Average joes, experience map makers, every point of view should be looked at... He is... uh, diversifying... idk how u spell it :l
