Beta Testing

[ZeldaLord]

I've been using ZC for over 6 months now, and I'm wondering how you become a beta tester.

I'd like to know:

- 1) What I have to do as beta tester (apart from finding bugs :laughing:, I mean do I have to be quite active or anything like that?)

and

- 2) How do I become a beta tester?

I've been wanting to be a tester for quite a while now, is there any chance of that happening?

ITS A SECRET TO EVERYONE

Actually , from what I hear , there are a few openings. Or have they already been filled?

There was a thread a while ago (I think it was Darth Chronic) looking for beta testers. I, sadly, didn't make it :cry:

Anyway, if you want to become a beta tester I guess you can PM Darth Chronic or Dark Nation.

It seems they usually pick people who know the program really good, and have figured out how to do new things.

The first time that I was picked, was after I showed these pics.

Actually, Vel, you were in line for a long time because of your Insane Mario Quest and other thing.

Best way to become a beta tester is not to bug the hell out of other beta testers with questions like, "Why isn't the newest beta in the reports?" "What's new in it??"

For all I know, there's only 1 spot, since C-Dawg quit. Kratheous needs to update that list....

[COLOR=darkred] I did not make it. Maybe I can fill in for Guardian Link because he wa banned for spamming (there is no point in keeping a banned member in betatesting who is inactive/banned for a while, here is where he got banned: http://www.armageddongames.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57945).

Why should Alucard be a beta tester?

Heck, I can beat Red Wizzrobes without getting hit, no shield, and only three hearts and with the Wooden Sword. I have beat all the three quests in their sleep. I must be lazy or something :D

Things Alucard knows about ZQuest:
I know how to use the program by heart, and I knew it since ZQuest was avaliable to the public. Even though I skipped 1.91 and the other betas up to 1.92 (163), I know everything in ZQuest. It seemed confusing at first, but I found out which was which eventually.

P.S. It's Cronic, not Chronic.

Cool, I didn't know that. :)

Here is a link to the topic that I made, in which bigjoe asked me to be a beta tester. The topic doesn't exist here anymore, but part of it does at the web archive.

Those pics look quite neat Vel. I never saw them before.

I released a demo earlier this year with an updated version of those graphics, it is on my site (link is in my sig).

[MottZilla]

Thanks man, I'll check them out. What version are they good for though? 163 i hope.

[VEL]

The demo should work in beta 163, it is a short 1 level demo. I haven't worked on it for a while, but I plan to work on it again after I finish up some other quests.

EDIT: It wasn't made in 163, but it should work in it, it was made in 104 or earlier, I think.

I played through the demo and it's pretty neat. I look forward to seeing more of it. I also bookmarked your quest page for later. =)
