Challenge Final Beta Testing (updated 10/21)

[Tbone]

Ok, the good news is that we now have Adad's part (the holoroom) working on our server. You can test it here.

You'll notice the loading bar says "Infinity%", but if you give it enough time, it will load. So it isn't perfect, but at least it is workable.

The bad news is that we still haven't been able to get Part 2 to work after Part 1. Those are the errors we are working on now. If we can fix that, we could maybe replace the loading bar with a static loading screen and have a fully working version.

After that, we still have some tweaks and bugs to fix. I'm not sure what my developers' schedules are tomorrow, but at this juncture it is looking like another week's delay.

For me Adad's part gets stuck loading at 100%. I am using Firefox. But It loaded like 3 min later. My comp is  a Asus G51 that is stock.

[Tbone]

Yes, the loading bar reads "Infinity%" on IE/Chrome and "100%" on Firefox. This is a known bug.

I'm having a bug with the application where I can't fill out any text fields except "Additional Comments". Is anyone else experiencing this?

[Saint]

Not sure if it does this for you guys but in addition to showing infinity the load bar is outside of the left and right limits

[Tbone]

Yes, that is a part of that same bug, thanks. We will have an updated version up later tonight.

Yep.  I can fill in the drop-down menus and the checkboxes, but I can't fill out any text fields except for "Additional Comments".

[Adad]

Yes, aware and fixed...this is what happens when everytime I save the files T uploads it to the server... let me troubleshoot, then I will output a file specifically for it to be uploaded for further testing

Hey, a few of these errors can't be spotted until it's uploaded to the server.

"Touche Tbone!"

But I don't wanna touch Tbone D;

[Manic Velocity]

Didn't we mention that's part of being in the faction?  The final test of your loyalty.

Quick update:

We managed to combine the challenge together and get the full thing fully functional on the server!! YYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!

Major props to Adad and Yotogi for putting in some long hours the last few days to solve our errors and issues and get it into a workable state. We were working with conflicting servers and conflicting flash files.

We'll have the newest version up at http://www.followthesignal.net pretty soon. I'll let you know when it's up. We still have a few bugs/tweaks to iron out.

-A few animations need to be cleaned up in the first half (the hyperspace video and the reveal of Iego).
-Right now the engine hum keeps playing even as you go to the holoroom. This will be fixed before we put up the new version.
-We still have that repeat animation during the text of the number pattern puzzle in the first half. We'll see what we can do about it, but it might be an accept concession.
-The loading bar is still bugged out and either reads "Infinity%" or "100%". We will either fix it or replace it with a static loading image. Also, we might look at optimizing some files so the download isn't as large.
-In the second half, you must click "submit" or "respond" to submit your text, as hitting Enter started getting errors.
-We have a few more tweaks for the application. If you don't fill out "referred by", even if you were not referred by someone, it tells you to fill it out. Also, I don't believe the checks are in place to make sure you have Teamspeak and are fighting for the Republic.

Aaaand possibly a few other things. We should be able to get things pretty well polished for next week. I'm going to be pretty busy, but hopefully that won't affect our release schedule too much!

Soo, in the part where he's asking you questions, and you have to type in your answer to the riddle, everytime I answer the third riddle correctly, he gives me the line he said after I answered the second riddle right.

And then it loops back to the beginning of the 3rd riddle.

[Tbone]

How did you fill out an app, then?

[LAZARUS]

I hit the next button. It took me straight to the app every time.

[Tbone]

Working on the newest version still. The bugs are being stubborn, but we just squashed another...
