Multi Theft Auto has loads of areas in which you can help us. In turn, we'll be more than happy to help you get started with any ideas you have, help test them and - if they're good enough - release them to the whole community. This page outlines the key areas you could do something in, of course, there's many things we've not thought of, so think outside the box!
Coding for MTASA
- Submit source patches for the mod, containing requested features or bugfixes
Scripting
- Create a gamemode
- Create an administration page on the HTTP server
- Make a general purpose resource that provides useful functions to other resources
Mapping
- Create a map with the map editor for an existing gamemode
Web development
- Work with lil_Toady to add new features and improvements to community.mtasa.com
- Create your own system for statistics - using the PHP SDK as a basis. Contact eAi or jbeta for help.
Documentation
- Finish documentation for Incomplete functions - ask in #mta.scripting if you're not sure of something
- Add examples to functions missing examples - please test them, and again, as if you need help
- Review and verify pages that need checking - make sure highlighted issues are solved before removing pages from the category
- Expand the pages that explain MTA core concepts
Specific tasks
- Create a fuzzer to check for crashes in our scripting functions
- Help develop/fix existing gamemodes. Contact the original author on IRC (or ask a developer) to tell the author so you can work together.
- The web interface resources (resourcemanager, resourcebrowser and webadmin chiefly) are really only compatible with Firefox. Someone could put in some time to make these work on Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari. See eAi for help.
