# Campaign OP connected-gate test script

**Status:** OP3 section only. Later slices (OP4-6, OP8) append their own
sections here as they land; the campaign's OP9 closeout gate is this
document complete plus every slice code-complete.

This document is the script the user runs against the live connected
client (`ACDREAM_LIVE=1` against the local ACE server) to accept each
slice. Each item states what to do and what retail-faithful behavior to
expect. Anything marked **INERT** is authored and clickable but
deliberately does nothing yet — that is the correct, contracted behavior
for this slice, not a bug.

---

## OP3 — panel shell, open paths, Gameplay tab

### Opening and closing the panel

1. **Press F11.** The Options panel opens — a floating, resizable window
   titled by its own chrome (no title-bar text is authored; the window
   itself is the visual identity). The **Gameplay Options** tab is
   selected by default (leftmost tab, matching the user's own retail
   screenshot).
2. **Press F11 again.** The panel closes.
3. **Click the toolbar's Options button** (the icon at the right end of
   the shortcut row, next to Inventory). The panel opens. If a DIFFERENT
   `gmPanelUI`-family panel was already open (Character Info, Skills,
   Vitae, Inventory, etc.), opening Options closes it first — this is
   retail's real "one active panel" behavior (`gmPanelUI`'s shared
   geometry/exclusive-child model), not new to this panel.
4. **Click the panel's own close (X) button**, top-right of the window
   chrome. The panel closes — same action as F11.
5. **Drag the window by its border/chrome, resize it from any edge or
   corner.** Behaves like the CH6 chat floaties: draggable, resizable on
   all four edges, remembers its geometry across a close/reopen within
   the same session.

### Tab switching

6. **Click each of the four tabs** (Gameplay Options, Character, Chat,
   Config). Each switches the visible page; exactly one page is visible
   at a time. Character/Chat/Config show their AUTHORED content (row
   templates, Apply/Reset/Defaults buttons, scrollbars) but nothing on
   those three tabs is wired to live data yet — that is OP4/OP5/OP6's
   scope, not a bug in this slice. Only the currently-selected tab's
   button highlights as "open"; the others read "closed".
7. **Switch away from Gameplay and back.** No crash, no stuck state.

### The seven Gameplay-tab buttons

8. **Exit Game.** Click it. The client logs off and closes gracefully —
   same behavior as pressing Escape then confirming, or closing the
   window. **No confirmation dialog** (retail has none on this path).
9. **Exit to Character Selection.** Click it. A confirmation dialog
   appears ("Are you sure you want to end this character session?" or
   the DAT-resolved retail equivalent). Click **Yes** while standing on
   solid ground: the client logs off and closes — **today this behaves
   identically to Exit Game**, NOT a return to a character-select
   screen (acdream has no pre-world character-select flow yet — register
   row AD-74). Click **No**: nothing happens, panel stays open.
10. **Exit to Character Selection while airborne** (jump and click the
    button mid-air, or confirm while still in the air). Expect the chat
    line **"Cannot log off while in mid-air."** in the SpewBox/chat
    scroll instead of logging off — this is retail's own byte-verified
    refusal, faithfully ported.
11. **Configure Keyboard.** Click it. **INERT — nothing happens.** This
    is the contracted behavior for OP3; OP8 wires the real Configure
    Keyboard screen, and OP8's own gate re-tests this exact button. Do
    not report this as a bug for OP3.
12. **In-Game Help Files.** Click it. **INERT — nothing happens.**
    Retail's own help viewer is a third-party plugin
    (`plugins\ACHelpPlugin.dll`) acdream does not have; retail itself
    fails silently with the plugin absent, and this button mirrors that
    (register row AD-76).
13. **Urgent Assistance.** Click it. Expect a chat line explaining the
    web browser could not be launched and pointing at
    `http://support.turbine.com/ics/support/ticketnewwizard.asp?style=classic`
    — retail's own byte-verified failure text, always shown (the URL is
    dead in 2026, so acdream never attempts to open a browser — register
    row AD-75). **No native browser window opens, no OS dialog box.**
14. **Report Abuse.** Click it. Same shape as Urgent Assistance, with
    its own retail text ("...to submit an abuse report...").
15. **Use Mouse Turning Settings.** Click it. Expect one retail chat
    line per changed value among: Camera Stiffness, Camera Adjustment,
    Mouse Sensitivity, Align To Slope, Invert Mouselook Axes, Turn to
    Face Camera — a FRESH character (never touched these settings) sees
    all six lines; clicking the button a second time in the same
    session sees zero lines (everything already at the macro's target).
    **Known, registered gap (TS-74): acdream has no persistent
    "turn to face camera" mouse-turning MODE yet, so this button changes
    stored preferences and sends the wire bit, but you will not see the
    camera actually start turning with mouse movement** — that consumer
    does not exist yet. Verify the CHAT LINES and that the button is
    clickable/does not crash; do not expect a camera-behavior change.

### What to report

- Any of the above NOT matching (wrong text, wrong tab default, window
  not draggable/resizable, close button not working, F11/toolbar not
  opening the panel, opening Options not closing a sibling panel).
- Any exception/crash on any of the 15 steps.
- Whether the confirmation dialog's exact wording looks retail-correct
  (it resolves from the DAT string table at runtime; a fallback English
  string only appears if that resolution fails, which would itself be
  worth reporting).

### Explicitly NOT in scope for this gate

- Character/Chat/Config tab content (rows, checkboxes, sliders, live
  data) — OP4/OP5/OP6.
- Configure Keyboard's actual screen — OP8.
- Any observable camera change from "Use Mouse Turning Settings" — no
  acdream consumer exists yet (TS-74).
