Echelon9: Develop the first Newbie Project idea

Develop the first Newbie Project idea

New page

== Projects suitable for new developers ==

This is a collection of small, fairly simple tasks which developers new to Freespace 2 Open can use to get a start with the project.

The lists below are broken down into a logical workflow that will likely match the set of patches that you will produce.

Please create a thread on the [http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=50.0 HLP forums] with your proposed patches attached or link to a [https://github.com/scp-fs2open/fs2open.github.com Github pull request]. The suggested patch series below are designed to encourage the good practice of providing a series of small standalone patches that are capable of easy review.

Inspired by the [http://wiki.freedesktop.org/dri/NewbieProjects/ Freedesktop DRI Newbie Projects].

== Improve documentation of [https://github.com/scp-fs2open/fs2open.github.com/blob/master/code/cmdline/cmdline.cpp#L127 -nolightshafts] command line option ==

Freespace 2 Open provides a command line option -nolightshafts to disable lightshafts in game, even if a mission designer enables them in a mission.

This feature was previously called -flightshaftsoff and references remain to the old name within the Freespace 2 Open code base and the Freespace Wiki documentation system.

The patch series to implement this functionality would likely consist of the following patches:

* Modify the <code>cmdline_parm flightshaftsoff_arg()</code> name in code/cmdline/cmdline.cpp so that it reads <code>cmdline_parm nolightshafts_arg</code>
* Modify <code>SetCmdlineParams()</code> in code/cmdline/cmdline.cpp so that <code>nolightshafts_arg()</code> is used in the if() test
* Modify the [http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Command-Line_Reference#-flightshaftsoff -flightshaftsoff] documentation to refer to -nolightshafts instead
* Modify the <code>exe_params[]</code> array in code/cmdline/cmdline.cpp to correct the URL location of -nolightshafts Wiki documentation

You will need to register an account on the Freespace Wiki to complete the third step.
