Regression Testing

Test Areas

Liverpool

From a terrain perspective, we have a few pinch points - densely-packed Buildings, Coast, dense forest... the list goes on. Our list of 'Test Sites' is a selection of hand-picked sites chosen to stress-test our terrain generation.

Liverpool is a port city, so has a significant amount of coast, winding into areas of land. It also has decent building coverage. Let's see where we are!

As you can see, we have several Sites in Liverpool. I want to pick one that's reasonably close to the Docks and has a Hi-Res Building - this one seems a good match:

• It's not too far from the docks;
• It has a Hi-Res Building;
• It's close to the middle of it's AS30,
• and it has a Hi-Res Building on either side!

1. Current State - How does it look now?
   • Copy over the Site and Tile:

     C:\Users\Oasis> UE4_Z copy --siteids S000295 --tileids T000495
     

   • Open the Site:
     
     • Oh - that looks like it could use a Clean!
   • What about the Tile?
     
     Tile Overview (5 AS30's)
     
     Hi-Res Building.
2. Clean 01 - Before I clean it, I want to know exactly what terrain to expect. Here's the AS30's around the Site:
   
   • First, I'll add a 'Radius' to the Site - I'll be generous at first: 7.5km S03's, and 5.0km S02's.

     lhc@s23: sudo -u www-data /var/www/html/Oasis/Code/python/OasisSitesUtility.py UPD20220314 --siteids S000295 --jsonstrings '{"S02": 5.0, "S03": 7.5}'
     

   • Here's what that looks like:
     
     Perfect.
   • And now, the clean:

     lhc@S23:~$ SCL() { RQD=/var/www/html/Oasis/tmp/SCL00_Request; sudo touch $RQD/$1.json.lock; echo "{}" > $RQD/$1.json; sudo chown www-data:Oasis $RQD/$1.json; sudo chmod u=rw,g=rw,o= $RQD/$1.json; sudo rm $RQD/$1.json.lock; }
     lhc@S23:~$ SCL S000295
     

   • Looking good:
     
     • But no Hi-Res Building! I need to add the Tile. While I'm there, I'll add the other two Tiles nearby - that way, we'll be able to see their Buildings, too.
3. Clean 02 - Adding the other Tiles and Cleaning:
   • Add the Tiles, update their transformations, and clean again:

     lhc@S23:~$ sudo -u www-data /var/www/html/Oasis/Code/python/OasisSitesUtility.py UPD20210705 --siteids S000295 --tileids T000495 T000498 T000537
     ...
     lhc@S23:~$ sudo -u www-data /var/www/html/Oasis/Code/python/OasisSitesUtility.py UPD20210320 --siteids S000295 --doit
     ...
     lhc@S23:~$ SCL S000295
     

   • Still looking good!:
     
     As expected in-Editor.
