Havok4 Beta Test Ideas

Building and Linking

• Construction tools and huds
• manual linking/unlinking Linkability Rules
• test link distance rules (for attachments too) Linkability Rules
• Make sure that linked objects remain linked when you rez them in any orientation
  • Rez out large linked objects from your inventory and make sure they are still linked, eg. buildings, ships, aircraft, cars
  • Rez out linked objects containing small prims, eg. jewelry, furniture, attachments, HUD attachments.
  • Rez out linked objects that have both small and large prims, eg. furniture, vehicles.
  • edit a prims of a linked object and move it as far from the other prims as possible. Take the linked object, rez it, and make sure it is still linked.
• moving/rotating/scaling sub-parts of linked sets (via UI and scripting)

Scripted Movement

• all script movement, actions (hover, vehicle, buoyancy etc)
• sitting on objects, standing up Sitting test
• interpenetration resolution when two dynamic objects are overlapping
• collision events (script callbacks, especially callbacks on linked children)
• avatar controls (flying, running, walking)

Collisions

• collision correctness (do objects/avatars visually appear to collide/deflect at the right place?)
• piles of colliding objects
• creating objects from inventory
• reading the mass of objects after shape/scale changes, especially attachments
• scripted attachments that push the avatar or other objects, especially after shape/scale changes

Physics Overloads

• "deep thinks" - regions slowness caused by Havok trying to untangle complex physical objects. (which may still exist but it would be interesting to find out how things are different)
• permission errors
• rezzing objects via script

Vehicles

• Fly or drive any vehicles you have, make sure they behave the same as on the main grid.
• Fly or driver your vehicles across region boundaries. Verify they are no worse than on the main grid. (They may not be any better either)

Avatar Motion

• Make sure Avatar controls feel the same
• Walk, fly and run
• Walk up and down stairs
• Walk up and down hills
• Walk, run and fly across region boundaries
• Collide with objects
• Collide with other avatars
• Wear any flight assist attachments and verify your flight speed and control feels the same

Scripted Behavior

• Make sure script rezzing items work. eg. guns.
• Make sure push guns still push you, or cause damage. (get the other person's consent first!)
• Test scripted linking and unlinking
• Make lots of physical objects and drop them in a pile. Drive a vehicle through the pile.
• Test phantom
• Toggle phantom status with a script and verify phantom actually toggles
• Test targetomega, targetomega child prims, and targetomega attachments and HUD objects.
• Test mega prim rezzing and physics
• Estate tools "Get Top Colliders"

Permissions

• Walking, flying and driving vehicles into parcels you are banned from.
• Walking, flying and driving vehicles into regions you are banned from.
• Test being ejected from a parcel via right-clicking an avatar > More > Eject...
