Contributing

So, you want to contribute? Great!
Contributing is not only about creating fixes, but also reporting bugs. Before reporting a bug, please make sure to use the latest core and database revision.

Issues

Read this before creating a ticket.
If you have problems with TrinityCore instalation, read this

Mandatory things when creating a ticket:

  • Branch
  • commit hash (if you get something like TrinityCore rev. unknown 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (Archived branch) (Win64, Release), please read this post or clone this repository instead downloading the source code.
  • entries of affected creatures / items / quests with a link to the relevant wowhead page.
  • clear title and description of the bug - if your english is very bad, please use google translate or yandex to translate to english and include one text in your native language.

When reporting a crash, you MUST compile in debug mode because release dumps are useless (not enough information) - if you don't know how to compile in debug, read this

We sugest the title and body to have the next style:

DB/Quest: The Collapse

4.3.4 branch
hash 63f96a282307
The quest "The Collapse" http://www.wowhead.com/quest=11706 lacks final event.

Creating Pull Requests:

  1. Fork it.
  2. Create a branch (git checkout -b fixes) (Note: fixes is an arbitrary name, choose whatever you want here)
  3. Commit your changes (git commit -am "Added Snarkdown")
  4. Push to the branch (git push origin fixes)
  5. Open a Pull Request

When creating patches read:

We suggest that you create one branch for each C++ based fix: this will allow you to create more fixes without having to wait for your pull request to be merged.
For the SQL files coming with C++ based fixes the naming schema is YYYY_MM_DD_i_database.sql, where YYYY_MM_DD is the date of the fix, i_database is the ith sql created that day for database.
When doing changes to auth or characters database remember to update the base files (/sql/base/*).
For SQL only fixes, please create a ticket. Since it's very unlikely that your Pull Request will be merged on the day that you open it, please name the files with an impossible date to avoid merging issues ie: 2015_13_32_00_world.sql
