JBBR (Java BloodBowl Replayer) team needs YOU!
We're looking for alpha and beta testers for our new JBBR release. We already have bunch of testers with Windows 95-XP OSes and thus are only looking for testers with Linux, Mac or Solaris.
If you're interested in, please post me a PM with following information:
- Your Operating System (please remember to mention if it's 32 or 64-bit)
- Your email address (where I will be sending the versions to be tested)
- Your JRE version (JRE 1.4 or newer is required!)
- Your machine specs (CPU and RAM amount at least)
I would like to get JBBR tested in every supported OS before we go open beta. Current plans are that first Closed Alpha will be sent to testers at the end of week 51 (i.e. week beginning with 19th of December).
Testers will have one week of testing period after which I expect to get some feedback of how the version worked in their OS. If any crashes happen I want to get the crash logs sent to me. This is volunteer work so nothing is oobligatory BUT if you apply as alpha tester I presume to get some feedback. 
For interested:
New features included in JBBR2 are:
- Sound support
- Animations (ball, spells, bombs, throw team mate)
- TackleZones
- New revised UI that can be customized
- Forward & Backward playing
- Reroll displays
- Team apothecary, wizard displays
- Get the ref and "IGMEOY eye" displays
- And more..
Please send any questions as a reply to this topic so I don't have to answer same questions many times.
Br,
JBBR Team |

Yes you can, but not until it has gone through closed alpha and beta. After that it will be public to anyone. The idea of close alpha and beta is to get replayer as stable as possible in every supported OS before we go public.

Speed range is -16x to 16x currently. Negative values play backwards, while positive values play forward. Zero is pause.

I want the program, but I don't want to send you any reports. Just send me the darn program and I will use it as I like. I expect that you have some time to test it yourself as you have time to code these useless programs. So where is the download link? Put it online right now! I probably won't like the graphics or usability so be prepared to read all my posts in all the forums I can think of writing my complaints down. And why don't you change the program to meet my demands automatically and stop wasting my precious time. I'd rather just play Fumbbl and kill everyone at the last turn. So code that in there. |

Very nice - that kills two bird with one stone.
I see my fields work with the replayer, they just need renaming. |

New replayer supports field sets, thus you can copy your own field images using some specific directory name and then your fields are usable in replayer. Field sets can be changed during replay, just by selecting new fieldset from Options.

This is so cool.
I don't know if this has been covered or not.
It would be great if the teams races were shown in the game lists. Also if you could set a default in the coach tab. e.g. to list your own games.
Sounds like a good excuse to get the linux box up over the holidays. |

This 'Sounds' very cool and I will definitely be thanking you once I get to use it. Just as an estimate do you have an idea of when you will be releasing for public use?  |

For this I can't say anything at the moment. It all depends on how Christer sees this change.
