Saturday - Need Testors - CaffeinePowered - 03-26-2009
This Saturday I need some assistance debugging norad, VilePickle gave me a few tips on how to ferret out the model error, but in order to do so I need a small group of people to help test.
Basically what I am going to do is compile the map in pieces, so there would just be Stage 1 part 1, stage 1, part 2, ect.
Then I upload those spliced BSPs to the server, which ever one causes people to crash I can narrow down as to where the problem is. When I have narrowed down which BSP the model resides in, I will then further subdivide that until I come up with a small enough area that I can hopefully determine which model is the problem.
What I need from anyone who comes out is to basically be 'on stand-by', I'll have the compiles on the server and ready to test, but once I find which section has the problem, its going to be a 15 - 25 minute turn-around time to compile subsequent divisions and upload them to the server.
The testing will start around 10:30/11am CST and be on a passworded Server #3, any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Ill post an announcement on steam when it starts, the only way to trigger the bug it seems is to load into a normal map, like 2fort or something, then to change to it.
So once a few of you get in, I'll move the server to the map segment I need tested. The bug should trigger and crash you out of TF2 before you even load up.
