Keeping order in Testing

Post by deen »

As hi_leute_gll suggested, we're implementing tags for map testing now, so it's immediately clear what the state of a map is. I added the regular moderators as forum moderators (and hi_leute_gll) so that they can set the tags (and help keep the forum clean).

These are the testing states we have:
  • [NEW] Map has just been sent in, no idea whether to release it
  • [APPROVED] Testers have taken a good look at the map and it's fun enough that we can release it, after fixes
  • [WAITING] Waiting for fixes by the mapper
  • [UNTESTED] Mapper sent a new version, needs to be tested
  • [RELEASABLE] Everything is fine, map can be released
  • [ARCHIVE] Map is not good enough, should not be released, even with changes (can probably just move it to archive)
Here's how the map testing should ideally go:

Code: Select all

[UNTESTED] -> [APPROVED] -> [WAITING] -> [UNTESTED] -> [RELEASABLE]
If a map does not get released, it should never get to the [APPROVED] state, instead:

Code: Select all

[UNTESTED] -> [ARCHIVE]

Yes, because they sponsor DDNet with their time! Like you testers do too! Thanks guys.

Anyway, give me better colors please and I will set them. Go here and tell me the color codes to change: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorpicker.asp
