Mods are reverse-engineered modifications of existing games. fheroes2 project is written from scratch and does not modify any +files from the original game. + +## Q: Is fheroes2 project free? + +Yes, absolutely. It is a free open source project. + +## Q: How can I contribute to the project? + +**fheroes2** is a collaboration project of a team of people from many areas. The team includes developers, QA engineers (testers), music/audio composers, 2D artists +and most importantly - players. Here are many areas which you can contribute to the project: + +* **development**. The biggest area. Basic programming skills are required (even if it's not C++ language) to solve some issues. We have a huge variety of bugs to be +fixed and features to be implemented. You can try your skills by picking issues which have **Good first issue** label on them. The project has automated CI/CD pipeline +which helps any developer to find some weak places in their code. Also every pull request goes through proper code review to keep the quality of the source code. +* **testing**. Since we have a lot of changes being committed we sometimes struggle in time to test all of them. First of all, not all bugs or missing features have +been discovered. Secondly, each pull request from a developer ideally should go through testing stage before being merged. It could look like an easy area but it's +very tedious as it requires a lot of patience. +* **design/art**. We're going to expand the game by introducing a brand new add-on. Our team is lacking of very good pixel art designers who can help us adding new +content. So a person who is willing to help with pixel art would receive a bunch of tasks to work with starting from a simple one image design. You can ask more +information in our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/xF85vbZ). +* **sound and music**. The original game is missing sounds for certain objects on the map. Also we require new sound and music content to be added in the aforementioned +add-on. You can ask more information in our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/xF85vbZ). +* **translation**. The main language in the game is English but our players come from many countries. We have support of Polish, Russian, French and German languages +which still require help to finish all translations. In the near future we're going to expand the list of supported languages to cover ever wider audience. +* **story writing** or narrative writing. The campaign in the upcoming add-on needs an extensive story as the main driver. The team has sketches about the campaign +story line but we need impressively expand it with details and side quests. You can ask more information in our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/xF85vbZ). +* **voice acting**. The campaign in the upcoming add-on will require voice actors to make a rich experience of a story-line. You can ask more information in our +[Discord server](https://discord.gg/xF85vbZ). +* **video**. The campaign in the upcoming add-on will require (most likely 3D based) video entries to explain the story-line. You can ask more information in our +[Discord server](https://discord.gg/xF85vbZ). +* **support**. Anyone can support the project either by spreading the word about it or making a donation (via [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/fheroes2)) which will +be used for the future improvements of the project. + +## Q: I have save files from the original Heroes of Might and Magic II. Does fheroes2 support them? + +Unfortunately, no. fheroes2 does not support saves from the original game. diff --git a/docs/README.md b/docs/README.md index 3f19b088e..43d04ef99 100644 --- a/docs/README.md +++ b/docs/README.md @@ -94,4 +94,4 @@ We also have a [**Discord**](https://discord.gg/xF85vbZ) server to discuss the d ## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) -You can find answers to the most commonly asked questions on our [**F.A.Q. page**](https://github.com/ihhub/fheroes2/wiki/F.A.Q.). +You can find answers to the most commonly asked questions on our [**F.A.Q. page**](FAQ.md).
