AE Help badges/test mode

[Snarky]

I do not know how to do this.  No search in badges or AE forums or anywhere turned up anything.

 

I created a mission, but every time I "test" it I get no appropriate badges, leading me to believe I may not be in test mode.

 

I need a very simple guide to getting the AE badges.  Thanks.

For Among Friends, you do need a full team of eight.

Bug Fixer, you need to do one of your own, but nothing else needed.

Virtual Destruction, have a mission with a destroyable item

Virtual Impulsive, item to click

Virtual Victor, any mobs

Virtual Extractor, need a hostage to save

Virtual Victim, just let yourself be defeated

I've attached a very simple mission that should allow you to get the full list of test badges.

What @lemming said above, plus you do need to publish an arc once and get someone to play through it and rate it for both Recognized and Author badges. You can always take it down afterwards. And if you want the Early Bird badge then you need to be first to play a newly published arc by someone else.  (I don't know if this is strictly newly published or just an arc that has no previous plays, and I can't test it because Early Bird is account wide so I already have it across the board)

Just doublechecked and all test badges (other than Among Friends) can be gotten with this mission.

Either by opening the editor and saying "Save and Test" or by just clicking test

the file will not open.  it would be tragic if you have to wrie something like a mission title instead of plopping down a random file my comp will not open....

again, thanks for all the responses.  no matter how many times i save and test i get no badges.

 

i have never done AE before.  how do you enter test mode?

 

The next person that says "you can get them all, just test it" i am giving you to Cthulu...

@snarky I would betcha someone on Justice Superteamers could talk you through that over discord. If not, I certainly can. No can do today, I've got visiting family from out of town. But if you can wait until just 10 minutes before next Friday, I can jump in the discord with ya and walk you through it step by step if you don't get the help you need sooner.

The file will need to be in the architect->mission folder for you to be able to see under the AE console when you click on the console in the AE

 

If there, you should see it under My Local Stories and then when opened you should have the Test button.  Then Accept, and run the mission.
