MVCF: Testing

Tests for MVCF

In order to avoid breaking people's games, we will start testing MVCF before every release. Eventually this process will hopefully be automated, but for now it is manual. Each test has series of steps and an expected result, and fails if that result does not happen, or if an error is printed. All these test should be done with VEF and a mod that enables MVCF features, like Alpha Animals, VAE - Accessories, or Combat Bionics. Some tests require a specific mod or mods. Many of these tests can be done at once, but the steps are from starting the game each time, for completeness.
