Quick question regarding submission of new content. Do I have to set up a whole fork on github and make a pull request, or (as it's only a few new items) is there an simpler way?

Yes, you need to fork the repo, then make a branch with your changes and send a pull request to be reviewed.

or (as it's only a few new items) is there an simpler way?

I guess you could ask someone to send the pull request for you from their own fork or just post the new content in The Lab section of the official forums.

In either case you can ask for help on the irc channel or the forums.

What kind of new content? If it's just new items added to the item json files, posting on the forum is likely to lead to someone sticking it in a pull request for you.

A few new hats, that kind of thing. I've been trying to make a building but I've yet to wrap my head around how they're created (is there a document somewhere?). As I intend to make more substantial contributions, I probably should set up a proper github fork.

As a project for my Game Development studies, we're going to study the Cataclysm code for design patterns and, if possible (hint: it is), improve it. This should get interesting and perhaps we'll even display the rewrite if anyone is interested.
The deadline for the fast track is in 3 weeks, which we're aiming for, so hopefully we'll be able to share something interesting

[GlyphGryph]

Make sure you go off the most recent git branch. It's got the item factory. That is TOTES a pattern.

[Shadowgandor]

Ya we've pulled the project from git 8 hours ago and the item factory was the first pattern we found ^^ Thanks and hopefully we can be of use as well

The developer FAQ combined with looking at the already implemented buildings in mapgen.cpp is a fairly nice place to start.

Buildings Eh?

I know one of the guys was willing to put maps in game if you can submit a 24x24 text clip map.

I think there was a thread for that somewhere in here... Potential Structures, maybe?

[ollobrains]

potential structures and more complex structrual complexes ie large buildings connected could be a good idea, liking the item expansion and tiles idea

the child zombie spawn at the start of the game.....

thats what makes this game fun. Dont forget to butcher their corpses (even if you arent a cannibal) so they dont get back up.

[notquitethere]

Might I suggest cremation as a less stomach turning alternative. Also, unlike butchery, you don't have to wait until they've stopped moving to start the fire.

Yeah, but fire is harder to do in the beginning of the game, and it doesn't give you survival experience. So butchering child zombies is the best choice.

[notquitethere]

I know killing children zombies gives you the sads. Surely, butchering them should be worse? In fact, I'd say butchering all humans even if you don't intend to eat them should impose a morale penalty if it doesn't already.
