File Testing

[omgitznpv]

Okay. I'm quite sick of all the people in the Queue/Batch Discussion Thread asking for people to test their files.

If you want one of your files tested, post about it here. State that you have a file you want others to test and give feedback on. Testers can PM stating they want to test it, or simply post here, along with their e-mail address or something so the file can be sent.

There is also a list of people who are willing to test any file sent their way being created. If you wish to be one of these people, please state that you are willing to, along with your e-mail and your experience with stepping (preferably stating what color tester you are, as well [find out below]). If you want a file tested, this can be the first list of people you can look at.

Regular file testers (39) (people willing to test any file)

Key:
Prolific stepartist (10+ files) - Red
Stepartist with some files in-game/queued (5-10) - Orange
Stepartist with a few files in-game/queued (1-5) - Blue
Stepartist without a queued file - Green
File tester with little knowledge/experience - Black

If a tester wishes to be PMed when a file is sent their way, an asterisk will be next to their name.

If a tester is only willing to test files from noteworthy people (people who are not new artists, rather, people who have high experience/knowledge of stepping), their name will be marked with a plus sign.

If a tester wants to be sent an IM (such as over AIM), a ^ will be marked next to their name.

Keep in mind that testers may not be able to play every file sent their way; people can be busy.

I think anyone who has a file in the game is pretty reliable. It shows that they at least have some grasp of what the judges are looking for in a file, and what makes a file good in general.

With that said, I'm willing to test. [email protected]

Just do what I do and browse through artists in the Artist Blanket Permissions V2 thread (http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ad.php?t=68438). It provides a lot of links to artists that we have full permission for, so it's useful.

there should be a list of trustable testers or something like that.

Mmhmm, that could be useful. People who need their files seriously tested could turn to people who know what they're doing much better (mainly people with files in-game). Still, if someone just wants to generate opinions on a file, I still find that random people (who know at least what they're doing, they just don't have to be an amazing stepartist) could help.

Mostly. But I think if they have only one or two files, one of their files has to be quite good (like your 600 AD in piano).

Re: File Testing

I'll test some files. [email protected] and yes I need a new screenname.

Re: File Testing

Yay. ^-^
Oh, and yeah. Please sticky this.

Re: File Testing

I'll test some stuff

[email protected]

edit for the below poster: I have 1 queued file, 2 if you count 1 that was rejected solely for song dislike. I am a decent file maker, I just don't have the patience to spend hours stepping one song.

Also, I am willing to be a regular tester. I would say I fall into the blue group.

Re: File Testing

I have an idea. Instead of having everybody post something like "I'll test! -insert e-mail address here-," how about we have a list of people who are always willing to test files on my first post? This way, people who need their file tested could simply look at the first post in this thread, see which people are file testers, and they could just send the file to that person from there.

There could also be indications of whether a person is a prolific stepartist, has a couple files in-game, has submitted files but none have been queued/some random person with some knowledge of what would make a good file, or a completely random person who just wants to test files. This could help people who want people with certain experience to test their file. These people can be indicated by their name being in a different color.

This could look something like:

File testers

Key:
Prolific stepartist - Red
Stepartist with a couple files in-game - Blue
Stepartist without a queued file - Green
Willing file tester with little/no knowledge - Black

ex3 - [email protected]
ex4 - [email protected]
ex5 - [email protected]
ex6 - [email protected]
ex7 - [email protected]
ex8 - [email protected]

People who are willing to test files from anybody can simply state they will be willing to do so in this thread. Whoever wishes to do so should state their e-mail address and their status (from above).

ps I just realized this would help improve the quality of files going into each batch.

Re: File Testing

I suppose I could be a regular tester.

[email protected]

I'd fall under the blue genre, if that's the plan you're following.

Re: File Testing

Yeah, edit that into your OP.

That said, willing to test sims @ [email protected].
