    Hi!

    I've been playing the LORD 2: Complete New World JavaScript version that is included with Synchronet. I did notice some bugs either in the L2CFG or in some of the LORD2 plugins.

    I wonder if the JS port is in active development? If so, how can I contribute?

    Thanks!

    Wang Bu

    It's considered "complete" now, so isn't in active development, but it is supported and additions are welcome.

    Contributing is the same as anything else in repo, fork the master branch, make your changes and open a pull request. If you're not comfortable with git, open an issue in gitlab.

    For LORD2 itself, it's expected to behave identically to the DOS version of LORD2 so changes there get scrutinized a fair bit and need testing against the DOS builds, but L2CFG and the various add-ons are fair game for updates and bug-fixes... no need to maintain existing behaviour.

    Yup. For more details, see https://wiki.synchro.net/dev:git

    Hi Deuce!

    It's considered "complete" now, so isn't in active development, but it is supported and additions are welcome.

    Thanks... I'm also using Git in my dev projects; if I can get the location of the LORD2 git repo I'll post some bug fixes that I made (if it hasn't been fixed since the release of 3.20d yet).

    For LORD2 itself, it's expected to behave identically to the DOS version of LORD2 so changes there get scrutinized a fair bit and need testing against the DOS builds, but L2CFG and the various add-ons are fair game for updates and bug-fixes... no need to maintain existing behaviour.

    I've been playing the game and found some glitches (like when you teleport to Greentree you get teleported to a location where you can no longer move). I am hoping to get some of them fixed.

    There was also a bug in the l2cfg.js when saving, there was a missing line that prevents it from saving. But I don't know if it was fixed after 3.20d.

    In any case, will look for the LORD2 repo and will make a pull request. Thanks!

    Regards,

    Wang Bu
