Saturday Stress Test - Round Two

February 25, 2012
The SWGEmu Development Division



Greetings testers and community members,

Starting at 4 PM EST (check your local time here (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Saturday+Stress+Test+-+Round+Four+02%2F25%2F12&iso=20120225T16&p1=179&ah=3)) on Saturday (February 25), the developers and QA are looking to perform another stress-test on Nova Test Center that will last roughly 3 hours (thus concluding at ~7 PM EST if results are sufficient). We need as many people as possible to log in, so please join us and Nova's rapid progression by contributing to our latest stress-test!

http://www.swgemu.com/forums/images/stafflogos/news_nova.png

In addition to general stress testing, aka logging as many instances as your computer can handle, developers would like us to test some specific things:



TC: Nova will be wiped a few hours before the stress-test to accommodate the update required to start off with the test.
The purpose of this specific test is to establish any bugs relating to PLAYER CITIES and PLAYER HOUSING.



Adjusted City Settings for Stress Test

The following settings have been adjusted for the testing environment, please do not report these as bugs:

The CityUpdateInterval, or how quickly cities attempt to update (contract, expand, stay the same), has been set to 30 minutes for the test.
The CitizensPerRank, or number of citizens required for each city rank has been changed to:

Outpost: 2
Village: 5
Township: 10
City: 15
Metropolis: 20


The maximum number of cities per planet limit has been removed for the duration of the test.
Cities should decay if you do not have at least 2 citizens within 15 minutes, so plan ahead.


http://www.swgemu.com/forums/images/stafflogos/news_dev.png

WHERE?
Nova Test Center (TC: Nova)



WHEN?
4:00 PM - 7 PM EST (GMT-5)




HOW?
Make a character on TC: Nova, grab some houses and furniture from the character creation terminals (blue frogs) and live it up! If you can, start a city or collaborate with your fellow testers and friends to start up your very own city, with all the amenities like shuttleports and cloning facilities.




WHAT ABOUT LIBERATOR?
For the duration for this stress-test Liberator will be OFFLINE.




Once again and log in as many characters as your computer can handle. Remember this is not just stress test, there are specific tasks we need to complete. Those who never submitted a bug report should check this guide first: How to report bugs on Bug Tracker (Mantis) (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22463). A well written bug report will make QA's job much easier.

And please remember to keep up-to-date on our testing information, the latest of which is detailed in our latest announcement (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/content.php?r=235-We-need-your-help-on-TC-Nova) and in End of Liberator Milestone (https://www.assembla.com/spaces/swgemu/wiki/End_of_Liberator_Milestone).

Hi people !

I wanted to join the test aswell but unfortunately my character mysteriously disappeared from Nova Test Center... Not that it's very important as I just started the game, but I hope it won't happen too often...

Any idea about what happened here ?

This is what happened...

P.S. Unfortunately that will happen quite often, since TC: Nova is a test server and as such is subject to frequent wipes.

Mr_SATAN
02-25-2012, 07:37 PM
Ok ! Good to know then :)

Is it the same on Liberator server ?

Sorry for the silly questions, but as I just discovered SWG Emu I'm still a bit confused ;)

Liberator will not have the same thing because it is not a test server.

Thanks for the infos Vlada !
So it seems I've been mistaken on what SWG Emu was. We can't really play "for real" until an hypotetical final version is released :/
I'll do the best I can to help you guy by reporting as much bugs as I can !

For correct server status please use IRC #serverstatus channel or Server Status Gadget (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3951).

P.S. Yes, it went down and then it went up again.

I plopped down a large generic house(style2), after i did so i continued to see the "construction markers". I destroyed the house to re-deed it, but the deed did not show up until after i re-logged in. anybody else have this prob?

You guys are doing great, bunch of stability issues already fixed.

Remember, every crash means another bug or stability issue discovered and fixed.

If the server crashes you need to "hard" restart your clients

You weren't allowed to place structures while on speeders in Pre-CU.

I just want to thank Developers and QA for everything they do, things that you have accomplished so far are beyond amazing.

And I also want to thank everyone that took part in today's stress test, you all did a great job.

THANK YOU!!!

Thank you all for testing tonight. We found a whole slew of bugs and instabilities. Be checking Nova all week for fixes. Also coming to Nova this week should be finished city features including Shuttleports and Voting process! Be sure to jump on and test it out sometime this week.

Planning on implementing more spawns and loot as well during this week and next weekend. Hopefully we can have another event! =]

Also, big thanks to our Community Relations staff for all they do.

However im looking forward to the next event.

Been lurking for a little but but been out to test the last few weekends, I am really excited! I can't tell you how weird it feels to tell myself that crashes mean fixes but hey, that's what's needed. SWG was my first mmo in 2003. I can't wait to have it back in all its pre-cu glory.

This is the most important piece that players arent getting. Too many players are screwing around on Lib instead of being helpful and getting on TC
