Subject: Re: File types and explanations, game rules
geez.. shaktazuki it's nice that you want to help but nearly anything you need to know is or was written down somewhere before so I suggest you start reading. There is a Bugtracker with tons of bugs where you could start to look.

As for patches: Usually patches can be send to any developer avaible. At least one of us is around on the IRC every evening and sometimes during the daytime too (GMT+1). I like the "diff" way since this is easier for me to verify and commit. Watch out for the tools "diff.exe" and "patch.exe". I'm not sure but it is possible that both are installed together with Tortoise SVN. It's up to you how you send us patches. You may upload them on a webserver, send a mail, dcc on the IRC or even upload them on the bbs. As for me I will not care for patches not in the diff style or on the bbs. It's simply to much work that needs time I don't have. Perhaps the others do.

The language file would be a good point to start btw. It sure needs some polishing Wink
