TC:Prime Deployment for Testing

5/31/2021
The SWGEmu Development Division


As of Monday, May 31st, we have re-opened TC:Prime to the community, allowing you to use your copied Basilisk Characters to test the new changes currently on the Unstable branch. The changes are listed below.


There are a large number of fixes and we are in dire need of the community's help to test stability and work out any newly-added bugs that may arise.


The changes are also listed on the Publish 11 Checklist (http://tinyurl.com/y6pflguw). We are asking any willing community members to test the fixes that are not bolded green and marked done. The assistance with testing would be greatly appreciated by the staff and enable us to continue to move, ever forward. If any members do pick an unmarked fix to test, please kindly put your results in the QA Channel on Discord. See you on Prime!

Please report any bugs you find. Any bugs here that isn't reported might not be picked up by us and make it to Basilisk when the time comes to merge the code. Please feel free to use this thread to discuss with us and each other.

[Mobyus1]

Wait… no more Ewok crossbow?

[Omens]

Fixed Dancer giving too much XP compared to musician


I had the feeling the Musician were not receiving enough Xp lol

:)

This could mean Dancer actually had its xp nerfed to be in line with musician. Waiting for confirmation.

[Mobyus1]

Confirmed Dancer nerf by Miztah:
“ My calculation for dancer xp was messed up and was doubling what it was intended to give”

[Fastburn]

Wait… no more Ewok crossbow?

Correct, all evidence points to it not being a thing in 14.1.

[Tyrenio]

Thank you for all the hard work!!!

[chily]

Thanks for your time and effort.

[Tyrson]

I just tried to check a few non bolded-green things (things like negative HAM from powerboost, a recycler inventory issue, etc) and I couldn't even follow the steps to reproduce it on Bas first. I figured I should make sure I was having the issue on Bas first. That way when I tried it on prime, I could actually verify the issue didn't happen.

When I failed at those, I tried looking for some easier ones, like npc clothing or randomized npc spawning, but without the mantis ticket to tell me what to do I wasn't sure how to check them or what to look for to confidently verify them.

I'm not sure why I'm even posting this... I guess I wanted to say I tried at least? I may be too stupid to help, but at least my intentions were good? I hope that adds some positive energy at least.

I felt bad, so I just donated too. That's something, right? Go team!

[Walking carpet]

I went to see if the BF fields markers where present on Tattoine and got 3 probe droids landing beside me along the way and 1 lambda dropped Stormies that started running after me , that was ssoooooo coool :)

Ahsoka is on the call out for testers on Basilisk

[RecksRacer]

Contraband searches entirely too often, its like every minute or two and they come for everyone in group. Also dance buffs used to work in camps.

[Adaso]

The contraband scans are likely still using the test code, intentionally triggering every few minutes for large scale testing.
Which type of camp(s) did you try?

https://review.swgemu.com/#/c/7178/ these are the values that should end up on Basilisk. Adaso is right on here, Prime is for testing and having it faster than many hours cool down is intentional.

Yes the dance thing may be of importance. Camps are active areas and that code was changed recently.

Especially if now we have the PvP Battlefields active.

[mesyouen]

Investigation 3 unlocks Jedi missions in 14.1

Active as in they are present, but they do nothing, and will do nothing on Bas. SOE disabled them early in pre cu.

[kennystone]

I had the feeling the Musician were not receiving enough Xp lol

:)
It turns out that experience is a rather relative value)))

[shilo]

Will BE get some love next update?

[kennystone]

I wonder if having love in a renewal is important to many...

I feel like we're so close!!! Keep up the great work dev team.

[Oaken]

Those are some great updates to test center. When do they go live?

[Lolindir]

We don't really know.

A lot needs to be tested and verified. We have some from the community helping to test, but QA and other staff is doing most of it.

One can have a look at our checklist for the next update and how far the testing has come.
