Extra content

Our ​Addons page offers lots of maps and mods, and much more can be found via the ​forums.

Bug reports are appreciated. If you are unfamiliar with Trac, read our article on How to report bugs. To ensure the developers can succeed in finding a solution, it is very important that your problem description is as detailed, precise and specific (​smart!) as possible. Attached log files, screenshots and perhaps even a video can be essential to understanding a problem.

Please do not add feature requests to the bug tracker unless you have a working patch you want us to consider. Always keep in mind that that our developers work out of their own choice in their spare time and your wish list might differ from theirs. In Open Source there is the expectation that you will attempt something yourself before expecting others to help you. Rather than making demands, think about what you personally could contribute to the project.

Improving this Wiki

The wiki needs more editors. Useful links:

Communication

Apart from the ​forums, there are a few other online communities dedicated to this game. Russian speakers might like the ​Warzone 2100 VK page.

Most developer communication happens on IRC and in the issue tracker. There is also a ​low-volume email list that is used for important communications. All new tickets in the issue tracker are also sent to the email list.

We use the ​Libera.chat IRC network. The IRC channel for gamers is #warzone2100-games, developer talk happens on #warzone2100-dev (you might need a ​registered nickname to join this channel), and #warzone2100 is for general discussions, tech support and small talk.

Translations

Warzone can be translated into other languages. We don't speak all of those, so we need your help.

Linux compile Guides

For Unix users, the Linux Compile Guide also contains instructions on updating translation files.

Maps and Mods

For editing maps, there are currently three options:

Read Mods and Maps on how to edit mods and maps. Also make use of these links:

You should visit the Artwork page as well as the ​Artwork forums section and view ​these artwork galleries.

The leading effort to improve game graphics is made by ​Art Revolution (​forums thread). Please contribute if you can.

AI

If you want to improve the AI, start with the AI Tutorial. For the SemperFi AI, also visit its wiki page.

Many AIs have been created, and some have been all but forgotten. For an overview of currently relevant ones, look at the results of EuPhobos' ​AI tournament.

Especially important are ​NullBot (​description, ​forums thread) and ​BoneCrusher.

New AIs are usually written in JavaScript and presented ​here.

Programming

We use C++ and git. To start, read the Coding page and learn about the Repository Structure.
