Note B: The ConstructiveTyranny TeamSpeak server will be used for the duration of these events.

What time will this be as I usually miss PUG cause I work both Saturday/Sunday

I used to test maps a while back with Initiate, but nowadays I don't see him around :-(

[Sn4ke]

I'll be there (Feb. dates). But we need 10+ players at minimum. Otherwise I'd do better glitch-testing at that time.

[Madkill40]

3 more for this Sunday and we can have our first CMG.

 

Update OP with the map being tested as well as including a time.

If the 7 people for this Sunday (Tomorrow) can show up around 5/5:30pm on TeamSpeak GMT we'll see who else is on and see if we can source the 3 people we need then and try to do this, if not we'll just play some RenX anyway

[Sn4ke]

so what now?

[Henk]

I'm an hour late.

[RipperSnapper]

I got called into work, did you guys do it? 

[Sn4ke]

nope. just 2 players (who signed in) where there

well fuck sorry guys :-(

 

I can deffo do next Sunday as I'm not doing Sundays anymore :-)

[Hohndo]

I was on, just not sitting with the other two players.

I was waiting around for Madkill to get on.

[Sn4ke]

I know @Hohndo I just didn't want to join a crowded room, as I was idling in the other channel (busy on another TS)

let's all blame the organizer then!

!noob @Madkill40

@Madkill40 did you read my TS msg? T.O. got 33 glitch screens from your latest FrostyBity release I'm just tooooooo fucking lazy to upload 33 screens atm.

Sorry. I'm a bad tester you know

[Hohndo]

I actually haven't been able to get Frostbite to load. I suppose I should get that take care of before Sunday. lol

[Sn4ke]

I'm not sure, but I think last week CT Test Server was out of date (regarding Frostbite)

[Madkill40]

I updated the CT Test server with the latest Frosbite myself. 

First time load of a new map will always be slow but I imagine Ruud's latest inspection of Frostbite will need to go over to reduce first-time loads.

As for my lack of attendance reality called and required me to drive around my local area to return costumes from Location A to Location B, then to return other items to places at Location C, back to B, then to D, E, F & G. I returned home around 7pm and spent the evenin' with my missus. 

Shit happens.

Next Sunday however I'll have a new Frostbite ready after I've gone through Ruud's remarks and yes, @DarkSn4ke, we will need to go through those 33 collisions as well this week.

[Hohndo]

Just bumping this to remind everyone about this. I want this to happen. lol

[Fffreak9999]

@Madkill40, you need to make sure you are there to host it.

[OTT]

I can definitely make it,IF I somehow remember about it,will need someone to remind me

I am going to set up a small temporary 20 slot server specifically for the testing of one map to avoid downloading times of every. single. map. 

Just to make it easier and just to avoid all technical difficulties. 

CnP etc. etc. It'll be fine, I've kept my Sunday open so I will be there with a new version of Frostbite.

[Madkill40]

A temporary server will be set up under the name ' Constructive Tyranny CMG ' with just CNC-Frostbite map on it outside of the default maps.

@Madkill40 is just restarting the server to fix that

[Madkill40]

Server hates my map, maybe it'll sort itself at some point but in any case we got a good test out of this.

[Madkill40]

Suggestions for this Sunday's map test?

[Hohndo]

Not sure yet. I'll look into something we can do. We still haven't really thoroughly tested Frostbite, no?

 

[Madkill40]

had a weird night... 

 

not sure if am in good condition. tiredzzzzzzzzz

[Madkill40]

I will be on for the CMG and PUG. 

 

CMG playtest again. No new update, actual playtest.

[Hohndo]

I'm running late so I probably won't make it

[Hohndo]

At the moment there is nothing blocking me from being there both days. What's the plan as of right now?

[TK0104]

I'm not really sure I'll be at CMG (Expect not) because I have a dinner outside my own house so could be late.....

[Madkill40]

How about an amendment to the CMG where we have them bi-weekly (every two weeks) or monthly? Depending on progress made on custom maps. Or we just base CMG's on whether or not a custom map has made it to a 'gameplay test' stage in development and then we hold a CMG on a Sunday following this?

As it stands I've not made much progress on Frostbite as I have been preoccupied.

For the next CMG which will either be the 12th March or later I suggest: 

Hopefully @DoctorAnubis could be available for this map test?

Edited March 5, 2017 by Madkill40

[Hohndo]

Sounds good

[TK0104]

Paradise I quiet unstable at the moment due the security cameras. 

I don't know how it happens. I think if someone uses it, it glitches. I think that feature should be fixed or removed. Kismet doesn't work really well on multiplayer (Especially Kismet what edits code)

Edited March 5, 2017 by TK0104

[DoctorAnubis]

@Madkill40 hello Sir, I have been busy with college. Did you do a test run in the end? In the coming weeks I should get a moment to remove the cameras and fix the lag caused by AGT (if that still occurs). That will result in a much more stable build

[Hohndo]

I was on for CMG today but either Madkill was too busy with Civ 5 or there were not enough people.

I'll be on next week for it.

I had to be gone by 6:30 cos gym but I left the CMG server open with just the latest Frostbite.

I'm thinking of just having the CMG running in a Sunday only with the one selected map in future, I'll add Paradise on it for next week and Forest. (If Forest gets sorted.)

[CoreDefender]

Anyone want to start this again, maybe this time on Try-Out's server because he updates the maps on it regularly?

If @Fffreak9999 wants to bring back the CT Testing Server for this, that would work too

Organize play test sessions with multiple people, play an actual game on them. Record what you find, show the map developers what needs to be fixed, and then show that this map is good to go.

[Guest Gliven]

@CoreDefender CT test server is up. Even if it is down, just ask @Fffreak9999 to get it back up if you get people to test with you. Try-out's server unfortunately, isn't always up, he is hard to get a hold of, and can only hold so many players before it starts to lag pretty hard.

I can change the vanilla server into a test server if you guys need. Just let me know which files you want on there and I'd be happy to load it up for you. We also have the fast downloads ingame, so that makes it pretty easy for me to update it for you.

[Fffreak9999]

Yeah, just let me know if you need it.

I can also add files to the IGDL on the RenX CDN
