  ===== Help & Contribute =====
  
  Map and Graphic contributions are much more "free form" then client or server development.  
  
  As long as the maps follow the [[map_making|Map Guidelines]] and there are no obvious exploits, errors or problems -- many maps  (nearly all..) are added to the official distribution. For more information, see the expanded section on [[map_making#map_contributions|Map Contributions]]
  
- Graphics have a pretty good track record of being added as well - just make sure the" style" and "look" of the graphics blend nicely with the existing graphic set.  It's best to test new graphics (preview them) in a sample in-game screen shot.

+ 
+ Archetypes are the specifications that determines many aspects and features of graphics.  To name a few; things like the graphic animation sequence, in game features such as how much damage a weapon causes, if an item can be walked on (ex: floor tile) or not walked on (ex: much of the water graphics), and if the object performs a special function (ex: cult altars, money conversion tables) is all determined through archetypes.  While adjusting or creating archetypes can be quite a task, the development team can assist on that.  Graphics however, are always needed and appreciated.
