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!
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 and AlienX to add new features and improvements to mtabeta.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
- 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.
- Help work on the editor. The editor is entirely 'open source' so you can add any features you'd like to it. Contact jbeta or Talidan on IRC or the forums.
- 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.
