Please help test Vaultster

Post by Hialmar »

Please help us test the new vault system.

What you have to do is:
- connect on one of the servers with "Vaultster Beta" in the title. There are two of them a BG one and a TSM one.
- create a character. Buy some accessories (hats, backbacks, clothes...) but not too many as you will need money for the portals.

Now you can either:
- modify your equipped items and inventory, disconnect, connect on the other server and check that the character is here and you can log in Quarantine. There you can check your equipped items and inventory. (Please note that if you change anything in inventory it won't be saved as you aren't on your normal server).
- modify your equipped items and inventory and portal to the other server using the seamless (also called automated) portal. There you can check your equipped items and inventory.

And so on and so forth...

You can test several normal characters (no plane touched or such as this would require validation) with strange names (including accented letters - à é ê...- and special characters - $%@...) or very long names.

Please post here if you see any issues.

Created Frana Swift on BG vaultster beta and bought one item from each category of the vendor.

Logged onto TSM vaultster beta and was put in quarantine. (nice area btw)
I had all items in inventory unchanged.

Thanks.

Just a note that I am also beta testing on the TSM vaultster mod the 18+ conversation that will allow people to state that they are 18+ if they want to continue playing in ALFA.

For those wanted to test seamless portalling (who aren't already familiar with the BG and TSM server portals):

On TSM: Choose "Rivermoot" from the start door options (this is the only one that works in this mod anyway), then talk to the "Ticketmaster" NPC there to buy passage to Baldur's Gate (10 gp). This will AT you into the boat to Baldur's gate, which has the Automated/Seamless server AT to the BG server.

On BG: Start door will put you in the East Harbor Docks: the boat with the ATs back to Silver Marches should be visible next to the dock. Talk to the captain NPC on the dock to buy passage (10 gp) back to the Silver Marches.

Note that presently, no portalling cooldown is present on the automated server portals, in order to facilitate testing. If you try the standard server portal, you should see a correct estimate of how many RL hours it has been since your last successful server portalling event.

The BG East Harbor area also has a server portal to Moonshaes, but it is nonfunctional for now while we test the scripts with the TSM and BG testmods.

Made two PCs (delelte please AL)

When I first logged into the TSm vaultster it SKIPPED the creation screen and loaded in Trapper for some reason into the Q

then I made "Sapphire Papadasch" and realized I made a tiefling..doh

Then I made "Tama" she easily portaled from BG to TSM and back!

But I didnt get a prompt to customize my items OR the 18+ waiver. Is that supposed to happen?

This is neat work!

I did some very brief testing tonight and it seemed to work fine. I may poke around with it some more tommorow.

Thanks to everyone who tested this.

The 18+ waiver only happens once for each player so it's normal that you didn't get it after saying yes.

The other convos should happen however but I think I broke something :/
I'll look into it but I suppose only AL can solve this problem.

Oh and please note that this is all beta testing so even if you see old copies of your PCs (because I copied over the vault on the TSM beta in order to test this) or create new ones you won't see them on the live servers.

NES, I had some problems with my router when you were online and this is why you had some problems. However I have found a bug because of that so that's good in a way ;)

I have solved the bug found by NESChampion.
Please test again to make sure that I haven't added another one while solving this one :?
