Title: Orange Cosmos RP 2 Release Date
Post by: Crap-Head on April 15, 2013, 12:35:58 PM: (http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/7876/orangecosmosrp2.png)
Release Countdown
04/20/2013
*RELEASED*

As mentioned in the announcement thread (http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?topic=23571.0), OCRP2 is right around the corner.
In the previous thread, we said that we would announce a release date, as soon as I was ready.
First, we had to wait for Garry to release update 161 (as 160 was broken), and then it was just about completing the last things for OCRP2.

There's not much more to say here. I've answered any question that came up in the old thread already.
As for repeating myself on one of the questions. On the day of release, a full release thread will be posted.
This will include a full changelog changelog of basically everything that has changed for OCRP2.

Also as promised a lot of people has gotten unbanned. You can view the ban list (http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?page=ocrppermabans), and check if your name is on there.
~~Bans shown on profiles might not be accurate yet. I'm awaiting RTLK to update the script to the OCRP2 database instead of the OCRP1.5 database.~~

Ban information on profiles is fully accurate as of this edit (April 18.)

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here.

Do a beta testing with the admins before launch? hehe.
Title: Re: Orange Cosmos RP 2 Release Date
Post by: S?cojnr on April 15, 2013, 03:50:08 PM: Hope dat be all admins :P But yeah a beta would probably be good to ensure that most if not all bugs were found before release, even if it were a short one just in this week.
Title: Re: Orange Cosmos RP 2 Release Date
Post by: Crap-Head on April 15, 2013, 03:53:13 PM: There's like 10 people on the alpha team. They have full access to the server. They have had lots of time to test, and has found lots of bugs.

I know a beta would be a good idea, but I'm pretty confident that the alpha team has found all the obvious bugs that a beta would also find. There will still be a few bugs, but once posted on the bug reports I will fix it right away.

Lets see how it goes, eh?

Fair enough then, I look forward to playing it :P
Title: Re: Orange Cosmos RP 2 Release Date
Post by: Crap-Head on April 15, 2013, 04:09:04 PM: Many of the important features has been fully tested to make sure there are no major problems on release. It's impossible to test the entire gamemode through, but the alpha team has done a decent job on testing many, many features, and reported everything they found.

There could always be done more testing, but nothing is bug free, and we can't find anything. Things will pop up over time, but I will do everything to fix it as soon as reported.

no testing can compare to a beta where people play normally

Exactly. Bugs you may not find by focusing on something can be found by just playing the game and running through things over and over again.

If someone plans on quoting this mentioning the "alpha team is testing!!!" don't bother. Having a select group joining and searching for bugs is nothing like having around 20 people playing the game like they normally would for a good week. This has already been stated but I can already see someone quoting this and saying the previous quote.

Agreed. Me and plenty of other people have waited long enough. Any bugs that are found can be reported and fixed pretty fast, Aslong as there's no game breaking bugs then it'll be just fine.

for all anyone knows there could be a game breaking bug that only happens because of something that didn't occur to the alpha testers within like an hour or two of release and then it'll be down for another week

It would be down for a day at max if such a gamebreaking bug would appear.

We are not talking about a professional triple A game release. We can afford to have a few bugs that require a hotfix/quick update soon after release.

<::[[ Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 using Tapatalk 2 ]]::>

You can still be slightly professional about it. It's much better to have a beta testing period where bugs and what not can be discovered and fixed rather than having random people join from the population of GMOD coming on and seeing things in a broken state. People are going to come on the server and be scared away by gamebreaking bugs, as they don't know everything that we do. A simple way to get around this is to have a beta testing period. There shouldn't be a 'oh well it's kinda like a beta testing period', because it isn't if you're releasing the gamemode and having it open to everyone.

Probably would have been a good idea and we get that, but it's too late for that now and like previously stated, we're 99% sure there are no game breaking bugs and in the event there is any they can be fixed close to immediately.

To start with, 2 servers of 40 slot each. I want to see how it handles 40 players to start with. If it goes fine, we increase it until it can't handle anymore players.

We have ones that will be used for information, but a "release welcome" screen still needs to be made. I was unaware of it until yesterday, so I've got to get on it quickly and get it done when I find time. It'll be ready; don't worry.

There's no players either so you get to run around alone. Each player gets their own map forever alone.
