New Bug Tracker

Post by Manuel the White » Mon Jun 07, 2004 10:05 am

The Avlis Team is pleased to announce the initial launch of the Avlis Bug Tracker ( bugs/ ). Please use this system for future bug reporting. If you encounter a problem, PM Manuel.

In order to use this system, you must be logged into the Avlis Website. Simply click the 'Report a Bug' link to arrive at the Bug Tracker home page.

Some notes about the Bug Tracker's behavior:
* After a bug is submitted, you can not change its values but you may add additional comments.
* You may 'confirm' bugs by clicking the 'Confirm this bug' link.
* You may add comments to other people's bugs.

Finally, some words on common sense:
* Do use the extensive search (Advanced Search) to make sure you're not adding a duplicate.
* Do not post exploits! Send those to staff@avlis.org
* Pick the appropriate Category for your bug
* Give your bug a title that has meaning.
Bad example: Huh?! Is this supposed to happen?
Good example: Is there something wrong with the Ferrel fishing quest?


Thanks,

- Manuel

How 'picky' should we be here? Do we want the bug tracker to have every insignificant little thing or only those which cause a potential problem?

For instance, the dialog on one of the merchants outside the Inn of Elania includes something like, 'Yet me see what you have'. Obviously the first word there is supposed to be 'Let'. I've seen some other similar dialog problems.

I also still encounter various spots where the 'black box' icon shows up for objects (since CEP went in)... should we be reporting these?

Little glitchy things like getting another 'Tear of Balance' key every time you talk to the druid in the Kitanya grove.

The various 'holy' creatures in Concordant opposition getting mad at you when you attack the Balor? (Though running around the library looking for a record while a half-celestial tries to track you through the bookshelf maze is kinda fun).

The fact that my bard has FOUR different musical instruments and NONE of them are equipable! (Ok, that one's more a 'rant' then a 'bug' :] )

Just trying to get a feel for whether the goal is to track every little bug or just the things which actually cause a problem.
