Steps to test the engine
- Host a Custom room and set a password.
- Check https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/spring/releases for the most recent version.
- Look at the most recent release.
- Type '!engine X' where X is the part after {BAR105}. At the time of writing X is '105.1.1-475-gd112b9e'.
- If Nightwatch says 'Engine changed to X' then the engine was set successfully. See the heading below if it fails.
- Optional: Type '!game zk:test' to use the most recent version of Zero-K. Do this if there are unreleased fixes.
- Optional: Remove the password with '!password'.
- Not Optional: Do not change the game mode from Custom, this will reset the engine to default.
- WARNING skirmish AIs other than 'AI: Legacy' will not work as they need rebuilding for each engine.
- Have people join the game, screw around in the lobby, etc.
- Reassure everyone that it is fine if nothing appears to happen for many minutes when you start the game.
- Start the game.
- Wait for the engine to silently download in the background.
- Have the game start, spend a while caching, and exit because you took minutes to connect.
- Go back to the lobby, wait for everyone to indicate that they have completed the previous two steps.
- Start the game - for real this time (or maybe the second last time, because now you have to do the first-time ZK launch cache).
- Play the game, or maybe test specific things.
- Note any weirdness, bugs, or performance issues on the battle thread or elsewhere.
- Have everyone else in the room do the above.
- Repeat
What if Step 5 Fails?
Two options:
- Ask GoogleFrog to load the desired release into the server.
- Try a release further down the list.
