    Default How to get on the Testserver!

    Hello everyone,

    as of today, the testserver is available again for you to help test ongoing developement of Neocron. Please keep in mind that this is a testserver and no retail install. Your items, characters and basically everything on that server can be changed arround or deleted at any time.

    Our #1 priority is to fix some of the long known issues and bugs. Please do not expect any big content updates in this phase of developement.

    How can you access the testserver?

    1) Make sure you installed the most recent DirectX version, as well as the Visual Studio 2013 redistributables
    2) Delete your previous testserver installation (in case you got one)
    3) Create a copy of your retail R#191 client folder
    4) Using the new copy, edit the "UPDATER.INI" in the subfolder "INI" and replace its contents with the following:

    Code:
    SERVERIP=144.76.177.3
    PORT=8020
    PATCHPREFIX=patches\cp
    EXE=Client.exe
    GAMESERVERIP=144.76.177.3
    HOMEURL=http://launcher.neocron-game.com/
    FTPSERVER=ftp.neocron-game.com
    TESTPATCHDIR=/nc2testserver
    RETAILPATCHDIR=/nc2retail
    ISRETAILVERSION=0
    USELOCALPORT=0
    LOCALPORT=42423
    4) Launch the NeocronLauncher.exe and in the dropdown menu (top-right corner of the launcher), choose "Neocron Evolution 2.2 - Testserver"
    5) Launch the game.
    6) Report bugs

    How to report bugs:

    First of all: please check the bugreports subforum, whether this bug has already been reported. In case it has not yet been reported, it is time to test the bug thoroughly. Questions to answer are:
    • Is it reproducible?
    • Which circumstances led to the bug?
    • Are others able to reproduce the bug?
    • What exactly happens? What are the consequences of this bug?
    • Make screenshots or a short fraps video, if possible.
    • Which zones/which part of the game is affected?


    You will find everything you need, including reverse LoM-Pills, inside the Neocronstruct. The reverse LoM pills are the ones for the mainskills

    We hope you enjoy testing and look forward to your feedback and reports in the new testserver forum section that will soon be open.

    Slauncha!

    For anyone who was previously on the old PTS, I 'think' you will need to create a new fresh copy too, as otherwise the game does not pull down the patch 175 version 2 as it were. If you dont, then it doesn't patch in any of the updates
    The future is unknown until the present reveals it.

    Amazing, tried a couple of alt+tabs and so far so good.

    Great work on the world map too, finally I don't have to count! As mentioned to Triv, on a larger resolution is actually looks like part of the RPOS due to the fact it doesnt fill the whole screen. It is possible to implement a [x] to close it down.

    I'm aware you can obviously press 'esc' to close it down, but just streamlines the whole process

    Just a quick question regarding the Neocronstruct: Where the heck can you get epic rewards from? PPR?

    That NPC is missing. It'll be added with the next test server patch hopefully. I'll see about adding a temporary one a little later.

    Cant get it to work...
    I played earlier on the old PTS, so I removed the "old"test server map, and made a copy of the normal version of the game.
    Changed the updater.ini file, started the launcher. The launcher downloaded patch 175, but when it tries to apply the patch
    I get a lot of errors.....It looks like this:

    Sending version request.
    Applying patches...
    Patching to lvl 175.
    CHECKSUM ERROR: source file
    DiffAssembleError: not the expected result
    ERROR: failed patching defs/appplaces.def
    CHECKSUM ERROR: source file
    DIffAssembleError: not the expected result

    ect. ect ect..

    The last one:
    ERROR: couldn't open: gamelibs/editorobject.dll , possibly write patching failed



    Anyone??

    Please make sure that you stick to the outlined procedure.
    Start with a clean copy of your retail client. The old testserver client can and should not be used - best delete that folder.

    The XP gain factor on the retail- and testserver should be identical.

    Alduin said it has previous test server boosted XP rate when i questioned the rate at which i was gaining while shooting stuff solo.



    btw, screenshots with RPOS up appear to work properly now, on current retail i get missing RPOS elements. So thats one i guess can be knocked off the list


    [Edit] as a clarification about the xp issue, while solo on a droner, i looked at my xp gains using a raptor etc, and it just seemed crazy high. I have tonight free so i will start a new character and not lom it, and see how that goes. My droner gained 2.502 mil dex xp, and he only downed a handful of mobs in the tunnels, maybe 8 kills at most, seems high...
