Ah so I see. Well then it's a tough luck situation. We can go without beta testing Egypt. Sorry Head.

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Yup -- Sex suggested that next time we do this, we set up a temporary listen server.
Yeah or we can take the second beta of each map, since that seems to be the halfway point of the maps creation (in which some maps can be completed with 3 betas and others in 4) and only upload them. This way people tell the mapper the major problems on their own and then we can all test the map to make sure it looks alright and the more minor bugs can be found online. By this time, most of the major problems are fixed and it is a more simplier job going into betas 3 and 4.
In My experience Listen servers lag quite a lot... Running a dedicated on your own comp and joining via LAN is much better
I don't want to offend anybody but if you take a look at the bug reports for egypt those are probs that can be easily spotted playing "Instant Action". As soon as the map gets close to final stage I'll add it to the server (to iron out possible online bugs). Thanks for your understanding!Spudsy said:
Okay okay look. Why don't we stop this argument here okay. We're all spamming here okay, the origional idea of this topic was to see who is coming on Thursday, not why certain maps aren't up there or other petty stuff okay. So for the third and final time, since only CoolDude has been so kind as to answer me, who is coming to help us beta test on Thursday?
@ Sexmachine. Fair enough mate! Should be able to have another beta out by then anyway. nm if you can't get it online for Thursday though.
@ Spudsey, I swear I have said yes.....

Before I make a news post, could you confirm that the maps being tested are the following and that those are the right URLs:
Coralation Beta 3: http://www.qfile.de/dl/48263/jb-coralation-beta3.zip.html
Rime Valley Beta 2: http://mychaeel.no-ip.com/download/zedmaestro/JB-RimeValley-Beta2.rar
As written here, maybe you also should mention the links to JB-Aswan-v2-Beta2 and JBExecutionFreeze (which is needed for RimeValley). Or maybe it's easier just to link to SM's post.tarquin said:
Yeah, those files need to be mentioned. Also for the BetaTestFest to be fun too, a large number of players is needed for Coralation and RimeValley.
Right, we need maybe 10-15 players. That should do okay for tomorrow. Anywho this BetaTestFest should be quite some fun and yes, just please make sure you have all the files including Rime Valley Beta 2, Corolation Beta 3, Aswan v2 Beta 2, and please mak sure you have the freeze actor for Rime Valley.
Well lets hope that next week we get more like 20 players to test Coralation and RimeValley with some degree of fun 
Yeh great maps like those deserve to have a nice load more players.
The test on Aswan went well though

If we want more players we need to make the beta maps downloadable. I realize the problems that could present from a quality-control standpoint (not getting beta maps into the hands of the unwary), but we lost about half the players (8 or so) when we started in on the betas, there were a lot of people just joining prior to that because the server was populated. I don't know if from a testing standpoint it helps to have random people playing the maps, but to get a good idea of the gameplay we would need that higher player count.

How many did you get?
We got 12 on Thursday at the max, that's why I would like to have another one this coming Friday the 15th. Same time.
