+<h1>How to contribute</h1> | |
+ | |
+<p>dopewars is open-source software, meaning that it is free for anybody to | |
+use. However, this also means that the quality of the software is dependent | |
+in part on <b>you</b> the user. You <b>don't</b> have to be a programmer to | |
+help out - in fact, dopewars currently needs people to produce sounds and | |
+graphics rather than to write code.</p> | |
+ | |
+<ul> | |
+<li><b>Sounds</b> are urgently needed right now. dopewars-1.5.7 and later | |
+support sounds, but at the moment users must supply their own sound files, | |
+as none are included. If <b>you</b> can provide copyright-free sounds, | |
+then short files are needed for various effects in the game. For example, | |
+gunshots, bullet hits, ricochets and subway trains are obvious candidates | |
+for sound effects, although pretty much any event in the game that you can | |
+think of can conceivably have a sound (e.g. when players join or leave the | |
+game). These sounds should be in WAV format, and should probably be no more | |
+than a second or two in length. Later versions of dopewars may also be able | |
+to play longer repeating sounds (i.e. music) if you're interested in | |
+contributing this. | |
+<p /></li> | |
+ | |
+<li><b>Suggestions</b> for future improvements are always welcomed at the | |
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=34874">SourceForge | |
+Open Discussion forum</a>. These can be anything from "the game interface | |
+is confusing" through "more game locations are needed" to "what about a | |
+hospital". (I can't guarantee that such suggestions will ever make it | |
+into dopewars, but it's a lot easier if I know they exist! Also, it's | |
+far more likely to happen if you write the code - see the | |
+<a href="developer.html">tips for developers</a> page.)<p /></li> | |
+ | |
+<li><b>Bug reports</b> are always useful. Register them with the | |
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=11128&atid=111128">Sourc… | |
+bug tracker</a>. If I don't know the problem exists, I can't fix it... | |
+The more information you can give here, the better. In particular, I need | |
+to know your operating system - e.g. Linux or Windows. For Linux, gdb stack | |
+traces of the core file are most useful.<p /></li> | |
+ | |
+<li><b>Configuration files</b> can be included in future distributions. If | |
+you run a customised game, and think others might want to play with your | |
+configuration, or at least use it as an example, then send it in...<p /></li> | |
+ | |
+<li><b>Translation</b> of dopewars into your language will enable you to | |
+play the game in your native tongue, and will also help others that speak | |
+the same language. It's pretty easy, too - all you have to do is edit a | |
+simple text file! See the <a href="i18n.html">i18n pages</a>.<p /></li> | |
