Is there a list of required stuff / wishlist? Some years ago I wrote a simple opengl thing that generated a maze and allowed you to navigate it in 3D, with collision detection, so I think I might have a chance. Since I play this game quite often, I'd love to help out.

You wrote a 3d maze generator? Cool

Randomly Autogenerated maps would be cool in nexuiz. Especially if one could set (brush/bsp) 'tiles' to be used as walls, floors, other pieces etc, how many floors it should be (x, y, z tiles).

. Maybe even randomly autogenerated cities (I've seen sshots of such things in other places) for nex, with parameters?

As the new release is just out, the devs are concentrating on bug fixing. See http://nexuiz.com/bugs for a list.. there is also a feature tracker but the best place to start would be on irc.. #alientrap on irc.anynet.org and talk to the devs

Welcome Natrob87.

Saw you in #alientrap already, just at a slightly bad time i guess. Most of the people there adhere to european sleeping times :-)

. I think a formal request is not needed, just hang around, try to get into the stuff, ask some questions.. contributions will happily accepted.
The best way should be to simply get a development checkout (descripted in Nexuiz/Docs/FAQ.html) and getting to know the project. Maybe checking some of the past changes, either via svn or websvn access. Even simply testing can help. There have been some slight oversights on the latest release (like some docs still mention version 2.4

) and more testing can always help with that..
Then there is also the bugs and feature tracker (http://nexuiz.com/bugs). I guess QuakeC is still new to you but its very similar to plain C and should be easy to understand. I think nothing beats a good chat at a better time

Just feel welcome and lets see how you can fit in?

Actually i think that goes to everyone.. Its much better to just plundge into the talks and action then just drop off a mail address.. (small hint at snizzo)

The front page says developers wanted. The link brought me to this ooooold thread and makes me wonder is this true? If devs are needed send me a PM!

by **esteel** » Thu Apr 09, 2009 2:31 pm

My post just before yours is less then a day old.. so yeah this IS still current!

I'd say please read my post and act accordingly. Thats way better then waiting for someone to act. Most people are actually busy with stuff and just trying to be pro-active would be really helpful! Also you did not even say what you think you are good at. How can you expect a PM to that? Don't get me wrong, help is appreciated and needed but we need to know at least with what you might help :-)

I think i must be saying that the 300 time, but I think i will take your advice.

Well after thinking a bit,

I don't know any OGL apart from some calls to read depth buffer, but it is slowly starting to make sense to me.

I dunno anything about networking.

I skipped learning C and went to C++ straight away, and without classes i feel like without a hand.

I don't like everything being soldered into the engine, graphics, network, physics.

I will probably never get your physics, and never will that is why i use modules like newton physics for my game.

I have no clue about many things.

I don't think i will be much use.

I'm bound to irrlicht engine in which making split screen was easy, it could be recreated in nex using RTTs or view ports.

I have attempted 5 unsuccesful mods of nex (VoIP, splittie and something else)

But if you are desperate enough take a look at these, from Project Ninja Star (tm)
