How to start helping

Rogiel edited this page Aug 2, 2011 · 3 revisions

There are several ways you can start helping the project. To begin with, you can help other to discover it! Post it on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook and make your friends know we exist and some of them might get interested in helping.

Developer

If you know Java you can help us develop the server core! Using GitHub that is an easy thing:

  1. Set up git
  2. Fork our project;
  3. Implement any missing functionality or fix a known issue;
  4. Push your changes to your private repository (the one that was created with the fork);
  5. Request a pull from your repository to our main;
  6. Wait for an answer and we will approve your changes as soon as possible.

If there is any issue with your committed code, you will be notified in the pull request comments.

Other contributions

However, if you are not a programmer you can help us in other ways, such as extending our documentation in the wiki or filling bugs and gathering information of how the retail server works.

You can use our Packet Samurai tool to gather network packets on-the-fly while you play and send the packet data back to us.

You can also provide feedback on how good (or bad) the server performance is and provide tips of things that could get better (or worse... why not? we don't want to be perfect anyway... just joking, of course we want!).
