I've got a new private beta out with several new units and it needs much more testing in MP. So I'm looking for people who have a lot of free time and are available for MP games, preferably between 14.00 and 19.00 GMT.

The Singleplayer campaign is broken in this release, so don't bother signing up just so you can play SP.

I can help you test it if you want... But im a "n00b" :embarassed:

If you want, i can play random factions in MP and if i win, you'll know that faction is overpowerd ~:mecry:

skill is irrelevant. We just need as much games being played as possible. And more people = more fun = more games are played.

Give me your MSN or XFire ID and I'll send you a link to the beta download.

Mongoose

I don't have an Xfire or MSN account. Perhaps you could PM me the link?

Lord Adherbal

yeah, but then how would I invite you to MP games ? These games are never planned, it's just 2 people asking eachother for a game, and then checking the MSN/XFire contacts for any other online players.

XFire is free and has no spyware/annoyances (which cant be said about MSN) so if you really wanna help you should get it. It's extremely usefull cos it allows you to chat with people who are ingame/in windows while you are ingame/in windows/playing in another game.

Gah! i just remembered that i am going away for two weeks in about four days.

I find it odd that your having trouble finding people. Have you tried "Advertising" at other forums? There are tons of MP players at heaven games

I think the main issue is that hardly anyone ever looks at this particular forum. We need to advertise at different forums, even if they're not MP oriented. For a start, hardly anyone at the .com even knows about Chiv. Also, maybe we could look for some MP players at other .org forums as well.

Guys i may be able to get someone from my clan who has just downloaded this recently will thta be ok?

Lord Adherbal

aslong as the private beta stays under friends, I don't care you spread it a bit. Just don't post any links to it on open forums. I don't wanna see people saying Chiv sucks because they got their hands on that unfinished private release.

I'm sorry but if you have no CD key then you can't play online. There is no direct IP option.

Adherbal, I'd be willling to help you in testing, I'm pretty focussed on vanilla at the moment, but I should be able to play some games.

You'll be sent the current private beta personally.

Man.. this was hard to find.

I would defenently like to be a beta tester.
Im unemployd for a month. Im broke. I was addicted to mtw.

Im a plug & play-guy. eh or..Plug & pray... :book:

And I used to be a teacher so im great when it comes to give positive morelizing and constructive feedbacks..

:furious3:


~;)

But seriously, if u want more beta testers add this in another forum too (SCC)

Lord Adherbal
08-28-2005, 11:50
you have MSN or XFire ?

EDIT: ah you already added me

militiaman
08-29-2005, 06:42
tell polak966 and militiaman on the other forum that their super pro
A friend of polaks? Thanks, your super duper pro too ~:cheers:

I suggest you don't post this in the other forums.

1. You'll get 1 million people wanting to sign up
2. All these people will most likely just want to play it for SP, as any real MP player would check these forums.
3. Most of them will be newbs and could try to spread this in the public forums.

If you haven't already done so, post this at Clan Warbelt.

If you're still in need of testers I say passing this on to some of the more regulars at SCC.

Thanks Adherbal for the beta. Tested it threw custum battle sp, and

its ~D :charge: :duel: :charge: ~D

GREAT!!

Where to give proper feedback on it?

Lord Adherbal
08-29-2005, 18:07
for now it's not really necessary to give feedback because I'm aware of the bugs that are still in the beta. But if you think you have something important to say do it through PM on SCC.

Hey,
just stumbled upon this as I haven't paid much attention to your project lately.
I'd be glad to help you with testing the new beta if you still need someone.

XFire is alpahimself

Btw, I'm the same alpaca posting an odd comment from time to time on SCC :)

Where can I download CTW? This (along with like 15 other mods) look very pretty. (wow, I'm going to have a hell of a lot of RTW icons on my desktop ~D )

this beta is already 5 months old tho, we're still working on the new one.

Beta means what? It's just a test one? When is the complete version coming out?

alpaca
09-02-2005, 22:50
The complete version will presumably be BI-only and come out some time after the release of BI.

Alexanderofmacedon
09-02-2005, 23:00
For BI, how much will I have to pay?

militiaman
09-03-2005, 08:34
How many more testers do we need Adherbal? How are all of you going with the testing? Are there any troubles?

Lord Adherbal

I think we have enough, we're playing games frequently. There is a problem were the game crashes during loading, which only happens after the first game is played (but not every time). I remember having that problem almost a year ago before I worked on Chivalry, but I forgot what the problem was :( It's some kind of error that is ignored during the first load, but crashes the game during the second.

Hi Adherbal it's Crow. I still can't get that update I tried to get a few weeks ago.

try to catch me on MSN and I'll pass you a new BI compatible beta.
