Re: [Freecol-developers] FreeCol: Contribute Programming and Content Writing

Hi,
 
the instruction on that news item are only for contributing to the website, but if you look at other pages on there you will also find information on contributing to other parts of the project, like the game itself.
For example:
http://www.freecol.org/how-to-contribute.html
http://www.freecol.org/documentation/
 
Not sure what you mean by being member, as you could not post on the mailing list if you were not already subscribed on it?
If you talk about having a Sourceforge account, that is helpful to allow you to create and comment posts on the forums and create and comment tickets on the bugtracker.
 
Greetings

Hi Blake,
 
Thank you so much for your response and encouragement!
I am wondering if the first steps I should do in order to contribute for development are stated here?
 
Does the instructions for Mac similar to the ones for Linux?
 
Also, should I become a member to make posts easier to
?
 
Thanks again,
Pavel

1) I missed this one big time in my super game a year or 2 ago. I'm big on trading weapons with all the tribes and turning them into mercenary forces to harass other European powers in all my Col games. Knowing the tribe weapon & horse supply levels like in Col1 would have been useful but I forgot to add it to the suggestions/wishlist area back back when I gave the guys feedback. So I like this idea!
 
3) They exist.. admittedly it took a lot longer for them to appear in FreeCol then they did in Col1 but after drenching the tribes in weapons and horses I had armed braves and armed mounted brave units hoping about the map just fine, but not many per tribe. Maybe their old basic brave units need to be killed off before they considering building armed and mounted versions.

Hi wintertime,
 
Thank you for your response.
I was thinking of adding the following functionalities to be closer to Colonization 1:
 
(In regards to Indians and Indian Report)
1) Add the amount (number) of muskets and horse herds each tribe has.
2) Keeping all the tribes in the report even though they are extinct.
3) I looked through the variety of units and didn't see Warriors (Braves armed with muskets), Mounted Braves or Mounted Warriors.
 
I am wondering if these functionalities are possible with the current engine?
 
Thank you,
Pavel

Hi,
 
sorry I did not answer earlier. It is because Mike knows better about current tasks, but since he got a long todo list he also seems to not having had time until now for this.
 
As this is a volunteer preject, you are free to choose any task you would like. You could find some on the bugtrackers and on the feature tracker:
If it is a bug you'd like to fix, just comment in the ticket that you start working on it and then make a pull request.
If it is a feature, some other change for any new idea you got or anything bigger, it would be a good idea for you to ask beforehand for advice. It is also safer to ask if it is a useful change beforehand, so as not to be surprised if there is some reason such a change could not be merged or if some other approach to it could be better.
 
Welcome and hf

Welcome to the team Pavel! You are most welcome!
 
I'm not part of the programming team (I help out more with 'customer service' and social media lol) but hopefully Michael or Winter can get back to you in the days to come with their thoughts on the best ways new programming talent can help out. If I had to guess though they'll probably give you some info on the programming and software they use and then tell you to take a look at the bug ticket area lol!
 
Regards
 
Blake

Hi FreeCol Developers’ Team,
 
I am currently a Computer Science student with focus on Java programming. I am also a huge fan of original Colonization and FreeCol.
I am excited to have a chance to contribute for the programming part (bug fixes, new functionality) and historical content writing (I am big gan of history!).
 
Please let me know how would be the best to help.
 
Thanks,
Pavel
