Can we help from here vice creating more accounts on other systems?
We won't turn down any help that we can use, but we also don't have the personage to regularly monitor the various places we announce. Additionally, we use git to track every issue individually and keep a focused conversation thread about them, which just isn't possible on most forums.
For example,
here is a ticket for C-bill costs not being displayed correctly. It took about 3 days to resolve. At the same time, we were working with 2-3 other issues but they are in their own thread. For example,
this one about missing equipment came in, which also highlights how we can reference other issues and handle duplicate reports
Now there are a lot of other reasons that we use gitHub to track & manage everything, and Discord to communicate in real time, but stuff like that is the primary reasons. It keeps us organized and allows us to let some issues sit while we wait for information without them getting lost or buried.
So is it impossible to help without joining one of those two places? Absolutely not. But it is significantly harder to be a useful contributor. Excluding programmers who can actually change code, we constantly have a use for people who:
- Can check for new and verify existing bugs
- Give detailed corrections (For example, Just saying Battle-value is off is no where near as helpful as showing the exact point of deviation between us and another calculation) This works for other bugs too, often someoen will report a bug, which I can't replicate, but someone else can get enough information to track it down that we can then fix it easily
- Able to reference various books for information to enter (for example the weapons in the program are from a spreadsheet that has 105 columns, and having people able answer those is incredibly helpful)
There's others, but that's the big three off the top of my head, and you'll notice most of them involve having to at least know what we are tracking on github.
