CamDawg Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 The key to a good mod is a lot of testing, and we're asking for your help. We've put together a special alpha build for the purposes of playtesting balance and bug hunting. It's your chance to help us while getting a sneak preview of the mod. What's included: * NPC-Delainy banters * Delainy's spear upgrades * Delainy's unique howls and skills * Delainy's three encounters What is not: * Love talks and romance tracks * Interjections into existing SoA quests and banters * Delainy's main quest * Audio (music and voicing) * Custom artwork Fixing bugs and addressing balance issues are our primary goals behind the release. We're also interested in suggestions on the banters as well as rewards attached to Delainy's encounters. The release will contain some mild spoilers and offer a preview of what will be in the full Delainy release. You will have access to a separate forum for the testing. If you're interested, please send a private message to Bri or myself. Thanks all! Quote Link to comment
Grim Squeaker Posted December 12, 2003 Author Share Posted December 12, 2003 You know I'd love to help out but I'm gonna be quite busy with Harvey.  Maybe I'll be able to lend a hand when you get to full beta-testing (i.e. I'll wait until I get to experience Bri's fantastic romance!  Did that come out right?) PS: Shouldn't the Bugs and Balancing board be in the Workroom section? Quote Link to comment
Bri Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 You know I'd love to help out but I'm gonna be quite busy with Harvey. Maybe I'll be able to lend a hand when you get to full beta-testing (i.e. I'll wait until I get to experience Bri's fantastic romance! Did that come out right?) I know the feeling, Grim. I really wanted to help Beta your Harvey mod, but I'm in a bit of the same situation. Heh, at least it will be a surprise for you. Quote Link to comment
Grim Squeaker Posted December 12, 2003 Author Share Posted December 12, 2003 At least you didn't take me saying I wanted to 'wait to experience your fantastic romance' as some cheesey chat-up line! Quote Link to comment

Userunfriendly Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 i've already told bri a while back i am perfectly willing to alpha test...since i keep backups of override and chitin key and all that stuff, no problem with any configuration. Quote Link to comment
Bri Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Alright User, Grey Acumen, you were given permission as well. Quote Link to comment

If anyone can explore every avenue of cheese for playtesting, it's UU. The big question is if you find some horribly exploitable loophole will you tell us? :D Thanks to Grey as well!

Aramis Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I'm up for Alpha testing. Any requirements on the game? i.e. other mods and stuff? Quote Link to comment
CamDawg Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Install whatever mods you want; there shouldn't be any incompatibility issues yet, knock on wood. I haven't inegrated the shapeshifter rebalancing from Wes or aVENGER's rogue rebalancing, so don't expect changes from those in Delainy if you install them. I'm running with some ease-of-use, Oversight, Idobek's tweaks, SimDing0's tweaks, Weimer's item upgrade, banter packs (I anticipate the banter accelerator will be good for testing), and flirt packs.
