Ways to contribute
There are many ways to participate in this project. Below is an overview over the different jobs, the requirements, documentations for it and how to send us what you created.
- 1.3.1 Voice over actor
Requirements: - Microphone
- Sound Recorder (is shipped with Windows) or different recording software
Documents:
Instructions:
Record the lines of one of the characters. It's best if you put the text into multiple Wav or MP3 files (one for each time the character says something). Please use 64 kbit/s, 44 kHz Mono. If you don't know how to set those values, send us the lines anyway. We can convert them.
How to send:
Pack all the files into a .zip file and send it to submissions@gate-birds-sky.org
- 1.3.2 Mapper
Requirements: - Elite Force II
- GDK (Game Development Kit) can be downloaded from here: [DOWNLOAD]
- Some experience with map creation.
Documents:
Instructions:
You can either make a sample room or two using one of the settings featured in Gate-Birds-Sky (Romulan outpost, Romulan Warbird, Romulan Ruins, Ambassador class starship). If you then send us this room and if what you created meets our expectations, you get access to the SVN repository, so you can effectively work on one of the maps.
The other possibility is to download an existing map from our SVN repository (web access: URL of maps subdirectory) and improve on it by adding details, additional rooms, corridors, etc. Then send us the improved map together with a description on what you changed/added.
How to send:
Pack the map you created/changed into a .zip file and send it to submissions@gate-birds-sky.org. If you changed an existing one, don't forget to tell us what you changed or added.
- 1.3.3 Skinner
Requirements: - Elite Force 2
- Image editing software like Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, Gimp or Painter
- DDS converter. DDS is the image format used by EF2 [DOWNLOAD]
Documents: - List of characters [VIEW]
- Tuturial on skinning a head in EF2: [VIEW]
Instructions:
You can either create a completely new skin of any of the characters listed here: [VIEW]. Aside from Illia having red hair, the Captain being a Bolian and the gender of the different characters, nothing is determined, so you can pretty much do what you like.
Alternatively you can also download an existing skin from the SVN repository and improve it.
How to send:
Pack all the files into a zip and send it to submissions@gate-birds-sky.org.
- 1.3.4 Scripter

How to send:
Pack all the files into a zip and send it to submissions@gate-birds-sky.org.
