Game Testing Needed

AngbandOS.skarstech.com

My first beta release has been published to angbandos.skarstech.com and is open for testing. Please note, due to the binary serialization, saved games compatibility will be near zero between builds.

Update

The angular screens for accounts, verification, password, profile etc are still being worked on.

Once you register, click on the logo to return to the home screen where you can start new games, see and play any of your saved games.

I'll post updates to the site very frequently.

Update

I do not believe there will be any need to delete existing accounts during upgrades, but when saved games compatibility is lost, I may delete saved games. Once we get to a stable platform with serialization, saved games should become more stable.

If you are testing and your saved game is gone ... sorry. Please start a new once.

Next Beta Release Today

I'll be posting an update today for the home screen that shows active games with live updates. These live updates will show:

- Players' Username
- Character Name
- Gold
- Level

I do not have spectator mode yet. That is next on the list.

Known issue for serializing delegates.

I do know there is an issue serializing delegates. I will work on resolving them shortly. This affects saving games.

Defect Fix

For everyone who has logged in and tested ... thanks ... I am posting a fix that caused the app to break on the equipment command.

Update Posted

The fix has been posted. I could really use a few people testing the play and watch modes.

Thanks

The text color should be a lighter / brighter color. Darker colors on a black background are actually hard to see for some people.

[iggy_hunter]

Ok. Brighter colors. Let me see what I can do. I think I might need to make a map that ya'll can adjust until we find what we like.

Can you adjust the default gamma value?

[iggy_hunter]

So there is a handful of changes I'm doing to mitigate the colors issue that a couple people have noted.

1. I'm changing the background of the website from white to black. This helps the contrast quite a bit. Eventually I'll make it themeable.
2. I'm changed the default font to bold. This update helps the most.
3. The screen isn't spaced out so much so it is easier to see the screen.
4. A settings screen is being created to allow the colors to be changed. There are 31 colors in use. This settings screen will allow us to fine tune the brightness.

These updates should be available in the next sprint. (2 weeks)

So not really a gamma change ... but dialing up each color will be available soon ... essentially doing the same job.

I'm logged in. When I click on my last game I last saved a few weeks, I get a black screen. Also, is there a way to get a monospaced font, like Liberation Mono 11 or something?
