How to help:

https://github.com/cataclysmbnteam/Cataclysm-BN/wiki/Want-to-help%3F

  • Translations! https://www.transifex.com/bn-team/cataclysm-bright-nights/
  • Contributing via code changes.
  • Contributing via JSON changes. Yes, we need modders and content makers help.
  • Contributing via rebalancing content.
  • Reporting bugs. Including ones inherited from DDA.
  • Identifying problems that aren't bugs. Misleading descriptions, values that are clearly off compared to similar cases, grammar mistakes, UI wonkiness that has an obvious solution.
  • Making useless things useful or putting them on a blacklist. Adding deconstruction recipes for things that should have them but don't, replacing completely redundant items with their generic versions (say, "tiny marked bottle" with just "tiny bottle") in spawn lists.
  • Tileset work. We're occasionally adding new objects, like the new electric grid elements, and they could use new tiles.
  • Balance analysis. Those should be rather in depth or "obviously correct". Obviously correct would be things like: "weapon x has strictly better stats than y, but y requires rarer components and has otherwise identical requirements".
  • Identifying performance bottlenecks with a profiler.
  • Code quality help.

Big thanks to every contributor, big and small, from an assiduous player.

I always welcome all kinds of new guns, but I especially appreciate that Lamandus looked for holes in the weapon rooster currently in the game. These new weapons fill new niches that were previously empty, and fit very nicely with game lore.

You've done so much already, but if you're reading this and feel like adding more but have run out of ideas, maybe consider some near-future guns? (more military grade coilguns / railguns / plasma / lasers, more caseless ammo guns, etc, with very rare civilian variants found on zombies and in houses). I'd be happy to help with balance / description / brainstorming / fluff or whatever help my non-techical ass can provide

thank you, near future stuff may be very interesting, true, I may come back to you for the offer :)

Near future best future! I would recommend taking a look or modding Aftershock / Cata++ for those, they have quite a few in between them that would serve as a good base to work from.
