Serge Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 (edited) A shameless clone of the same Xenocide topic But it should have been created long time ago. Anyone who would like to contribute to the development of our project, please post here. The first thing every potential contributor should read is UFO2000 license, copyright, credits and other stuff thread. Everything written there is to ensure that the game will continue to be developed, every contributer gets credits and new developers can easily join. If you are not sure of anything, don't hesitate to ask questions. We need help in the following areas: Programming (we are in need of new developers for working on geoscape and single player mode) Some useful links are:* compilation instructions: http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8144* develpers faq: http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8178* the list of current bugs and feature requests: http://ufo2000.xcomufo.com/mantis/view_all_bug_page.php Artwork and game extensions (we need new high quality pixel art, various map packs, weapons and units extensions, more options to help in this area will be available as the game engine evolves) The whole UFO 2000: Maps and add-ons forum section contains enough pinned topics related to different tasks that can be done. Internationalization (the game supports many languages, you can easily add support for yours) Internationalization thread is here: http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6867 Edited May 20, 2006 by Serge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbkenned Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I'm trying to do several things to help. I'm working on a new terrain from scratch (Jungle type) with lots of images. My artwork quality for the first version will be a "get it done" process using the standard default palette. I am interested in using the new terrain method (lua) instead of the MCD etc...If I have enough free time I may be able (sometime in the future) to assist in the programming of a gui for the lua terrain method also.

Raging_Hog Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I'm interested in joining the programming department but I'm quite green. Haven't used versioning system before and I've got only limited experience in C++ but I'm eager to learn. OO I know about reasonably well and I can understand atleast some parts of the project source code. If you take me in, here are some issues: I saw somewhere instructions for reading the code(.chm-file I believe) which I'd love to get my hands on if it is found somewhere(links I found were broken). And how is communication arranged in this project? Are there any other channels of communication than these forums and Sourceforge? I've been hanging in the irc-channel but as it's said in the home page, it is life-limited. Then about the coding, to who do I send patches if I manage to whip up some?

nachtwolf Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 We have a new task opening everyone ! UFO2000 0.8 Stable is knocking at our door but we still have a bunch of things to do. Even if you can't program and you can't draw we have a task for you! We are in need of someone (or a small team) with good language skills who could review and update the documentation of ufo2000 as needed. See the current issue on the bug tracker.http://ufo2000.xcomufo.com/mantis/view.php?id=472 We would have to review and correct the English (and other languages if possible) Readme files, AUTHOR file and other miscellaneous documentation. It's not about rewriting everything but making sure it is up to date. I will myself work on the French docs. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Azrael Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 You cannot possibly be suggesting to use an online translator to translate documents. I'll just pretend you said:google has a small program (Web based)its called google translationlook around i used for my spanish homework but let's not use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Angel Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 The lad has a point. It's actually quite useful to translate into English using one of those things, and touch up the mistakes. However, for english -> other things, no.

Blood Angel Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 A friend of mine used Google Translation for the whole of his job translating German documentation into English for the BF1918 Mod for BF1942. I'm just saying it would be foolish to discount any tool that could potentially be useful, at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 hi, where can i send patches if i write some? byeAs soon as ufo2000.xcomufo.com is up again, patches would have to be submitted to mantis bugtracker. Right now you can try to attach them in the forum, write private messages, e-mail or contact the developers who have commit access in any other way.

Felblood Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 This project has completely captured me. Two days ago, I was saying how if I had the time and skill, I would start a project like this one. Yesterday, I discovered your project. Today, I volunteer my humble services to your worthy cause. It's been a few years since I flexed my already weak programming muscles, but I've got some good sprite making skills that I honed up before sprites where deemed "obsolete". Your bug tracker site is down, so it's hard to know what needs done and who's already doing what, but from my lurking I gather that original sprite sheets, both for the races that currently rip from X-COM and some new ideas, are in demand and not being worked on. I can pull the specs for file size, format, resolution, character proportions, resolution, and such from the moonsuit and soldier sheets, but if some one could PM me a link to a good PCK editor (so I can get a closer look at the old graphics) and a free file host suitable for getting the finished sheets into your hands, that would help a lot. I'm between contracts at the moment, but I am volunteering contributions for some other people and I could become employed at any moment so don't expect these to come out at anything resembling a consistent rate. Oh, and if whatever HWP implementation you guys eventually come up with allows for large organic units as well, that would fill me with joy. The scariest moment in my X-COM career is still the first time a reaper killed a guy through a window. Just throwing that out so people know what kind of sprites I'd eventually like be making for you--Big Monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamb Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) Would it be a time for new release, if for nothing else (no code fixes), the new fixed weaponset, and the new terrains dawn city and burbs? But have a forum posted "internal" beta first so that a few guys can test it! Right now, it's frustrating trying to get a game going with people running around with all kinds of versions of exe (1071,1079), weaponsets and terrains. I understand the code has been fixed of some bugs but it's very unstable? Then the exe can wait for another day, but just make a new release for the improved accessories.

RED XIII Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Hello all! Introduction time is over now, so I can get to the point . I would like to join the UFO 2000 project. I have above basic (average) C++ programming skills, quite solid understanding of Allegro and some basic Lua knowledge. I will try to set the environment and download the source as soon as possible. Edit: I've just installed all stuff, and it's working fine. The only problem that I have is that I don't really know where to start. So there is a question to you (Ufo2k devs): What unresolved problem (I know there are tons of them) is there that some green ufo2k developer could help with?
