Story / Better distribution of the Backgroundstory

« on: March 17, 2012, 02:05:47 PM »

Moved from http://sumwars.org/forum/index.php?topic=388

Many strings won't make sense by themselves. I'm sure you know that the context is important. Also many things are meant to be humorous.
Most of the contributors are neither native English speakers nor advanced in English language in an academical way.
For background information you may take a look at the [background] threads in the story board as this might give you some insight about the overall construction of the world and story. For any advanced discussion or feedback you might also want to talk to kalimgard as he wrote probably all of the story and dialogues so far.

General / 0.5.6 Release Date

« on: February 16, 2012, 08:06:38 PM »

I would target 3rd March for releasing the final version. This is two weeks ahead and should give enough time to find and eliminate remaining bug. No new features should be added after the Release Candidate till the final release is out.

General / Forum additions

Hey,
I added a few little BB-Codes to our forum:

Code: [Select]

[wiki]main page[/wiki] The wiki BB-Code produces a link to a wiki entry like this: Wiki main page

Code: [Select]

[issue]1[/issue] The issue BB-Code produces a link to a specific issue: Issue #1

Code: [Select]

[spoiler]Test[/spoiler] The spoiler BB-Code produces a initially hidden part of text in the post:

Show content

Test

I hope you welcome those little additions and they may come in handy.

General / Help Wanted!

« on: December 02, 2011, 07:50:39 PM »

I have had some thoughts about what Summoning Wars needs from a Meta View of the development... What is needed to make development and community efficient and appealing. So this is the list I came up with, feel free to comment if you think something is missing or wrong.

• Wiki
  • I have installed the wiki but we need content.
  • We need more contributors for this.
  • Build instructions need updating.
  • Game documentation, code, scripting, content, infrastructure (what goes where and in which format)
  • graphic requirements (format, standards, tutorials, animations, needed bones and anchors)
  • Coding guidelines will become rather important when there are more and more contributors
  • Everyone in the forum may become a Wiki Editor, just PM me or write a comment below. Maybe i should make wiki writeable for everyone registered here? Feedback wanted.
• Bugtracker
  
  • Goals for the next 1+ Versions
  • Moderators who check for duplicates and help to assign and categorize reports.
• Forum
  
  • Moderators, please let us know in which board you feel comfortable and how much time you want to invest each week.
  • Forum rules
• Repository
  • It needs a cleanup and organization...
  • Housekeeping is necessary from time to time. We need to identify and delete everything not compatible with our licenses. This is a sensible topic and doesn't allow any further delay.
  • Unneeded leftovers need to be removed too. (/lib/ for example? some outdated scripts or those for personal use too.
    If they shall persist find a way to organize and document them.)
  • Everything related to packaging and distribution shall be inside /packaging/ and an appropriate subdirectory.
  • The /doc/ needs to be updated, purged from outdated information and migrated into the wiki. Help wanted
