---
Mapbase is a project which many Source modders draw from, so it has its own unique standards
for contributions which differ from other projects, but it is still an open-source repository
that is always open to contributions.
Whenever you contribute to the Mapbase repository, you must keep in mind that any contributions
made could be deployed to all mods utilizing Mapbase, which can include everything from high-profile
Steam mods to amateur HL2 maps. Many contributions can also end up being available in both SP and MP
if the contributions are not obviously exclusive to one of the two.
All contributions must follow the following rules:
* A contribution must be aligned with Mapbase's goals and priorities and should not be "subjective"
or related to a specific mod or type of mod. For example, fixing an existing issue or adding a
new tool for mappers to use is usually fine, but adding a new custom weapon with its own assets
is usually not fit for Mapbase.
* All content in a contribution must be either already legally open-source or done with the
2022-10-21 20:49:33 +03:00
full permission of the content's original creator(s). If a license is involved, the contributor
should ensure Mapbase conforms to its terms.
* **NOTE:** Due to concerns with mods which do not wish to be open-source, content using GPL licenses (or any
license with similar open-source requirements) are currently not allowed to be distributed with Mapbase.

Contributions which can draw from them without actually distributing the licensed content may be excepted
from this rule.
Mapbase v5.1 - Fixed a major oversight in Source 2013 which was causing some code to think all logic entities were worldspawn - Added WIP background nodraw for point_cameras set to not draw skybox at all - Fixed map-specific talker not flushing on restore - Added optional HUD hint to code-based game instructor hints - Added workaround for suspicious crashes in HL2 NPC rappelling code (reported by 1upD) - Made antlions summoned by npc_antlionguard report as dead when removed with the "Kill" input - Fixed math_mod not saving mod value (reported by Klems) - Added SDK_WindowImposter, which uses the SteamPipe cubemap bug workaround and includes support for parallax corrected cubemaps - Updated thirdpartylegalnotices.txt to mention the Squirrel API - Fixed incorrect type checking for script instances in VScript - Added a bunch of new misc. VScript constants - Added a few new base VScript functions - Added a separate "Clientside Script Language" keyvalue to worldspawn for VScript, allowing client scripts to use a different language from server scripts - Fixed worldspawn crashing the game when running entity scripts (reported by krassell) - Fixed manifests creating a second worldspawn, allowing them to function properly in HL2 - Added tons of remapping-related fixes for instances and manifests, including node IDs and overlay remapping - Added a keyvalue to func_instance which allows vector axis lines to be remapped properly - Added support for manifest root path instances in VBSP - Added missing PrintBrushContents() contents to VBSP - Added -nohiddenmaps parameter - Made manifest cordon somewhat functional

* Contributions must not break existing maps/content or interfere with them in a negative or non-objective way.
* Code contributions are not obliged to follow Mapbase's preprocessor conventions (e.g. #ifdef MAPBASE),
although following them is usually acceptable.
Mapbase v5.0 - Added keyvalue to hl2_gamerules which allows respawning in singleplayer - Added the game instructor system (including env_instructor_hint) from later Valve games using a VDC tutorial which adjusts the version from the Alien Swarm SDK to FPS rules and a Source 2013 environment; Also added new KV and icons for further control from mappers (tutorial mentioned by Maestra Fenix) - Added L4D/TF2 glows + point_glow entity as an all-purpose SDK-based off-shoot of tf_glow - Fixed weapon pickup sound not playing (reported by Sl0th and later Cvoxulary) - Fixed env_projectedtextures not updating on save/load - Added func_fake_worldportal, a spatial point_camera inspired by linked_portal_door based on SDK code alone (WIP, may be changed a lot in future updates) - Added option for point_camera and func_reflective_glass to use different render targets, therefore allowing multiple cameras and mirrors to be active at the same time - Added additional RT camera textures to choose from with a default of 3, but also controllable through a -numcameratextures command line param - Added adjustable convars for main view NearZ and skybox NearZ (suggested by someone recently, also suggested by Klems over a year ago) - Fixed map-specific localization files, cleaned up map-specific file code - Added a new block to gameinfo.txt which allows mods to automatically append their own command line parameters - Fixed math_lightpattern corruption when setting pattern/style while active - Fixed the "Touch" input crashing when given no entity - Added a way to add EFlags via keyvalue (suggested by Niker107) - Fixed ai_script_conditions not working without a NPC actor (reported by MetroHam) - Fixed point_radiation_source causing huge problems when intensity is 0, even though it was already advised against (reported by beefbacon) - Added "Mapbase" header to Mapbase-specific code files - Fixed an issue with updating sky_camera not obtaining area correctly, causing some entities to not draw in the skybox - Added "CopyFogController" and "CopyFogControllerWithScale" inputs to sky_camera, which copy fog parameters directly from a fog controller - Added "SetScale" input to sky_camera for live scale changing - Added convar to control player crouch speed multiplier (suggested by ArtyIF) - Added a ton of fixes for people running the Debug configuration of the codebase (partial credit to stepa2) - Added support for pre-defined enums and constants in VScript, starting with various values from the SDK code (damage types, trace masks, etc.) - Added limited support for Valve's Quaternion class in VScript - Added new instance helper capabilities, destructible game instances, and other misc. changes to VScript library - Replaced most of the VScript "accessor" classes with direct references to the original classes, as they were getting complicated fast and adding new VScript-only functions to the original classes might not be as bad as previously thought - Added base NPC hooks for AI sensing in VScript (allows control over sight and hearing), also exposed CSound for it - Added various functions and hooks for VPhysics integration in VScript - Added VScript-based custom suit devices - Expanded trace info exposed to VScript to allow plane and surface access (suggested by krassell) - Added ability to insert localization strings through VScript - Added various misc. VScript functions with various purposes, including reading/writing EFlags, movetypes, collision groups, etc. - Fixed VBSP not being able to correctly parse parallax corrected cubemaps in maps with instances

* If you are contributing a file you created yourself specifically for Mapbase, you are required to
use the custom "Mapbase - Source 2013" header used in other Mapbase files as of Mapbase v5.0.
You are encouraged to append an "Author(s)" part to that header in your file in order to clarify who wrote it.
* Do not modify the README to add attribution for your contribution. That is handled by Mapbase's maintainers.

Contributions which do not follow these guidelines cannot be accepted into Mapbase. Attempting to contribute content
which seriously violates the rules above can lead to being blocked from contributing, especially if done repeatedly.

Mapbase uses GitHub Actions to help manage issues and pull requests. Some of these workflows build the code of incoming
contributions to make sure they compile properly. The code is compiled separately for Visual Studio 2022 and GCC/G++ 9 (Linux)
and on both Debug and Release configurations.
If these workflows fail, don't freak out! Accidents can happen frequently due to compiler syntax differences and conflicts
from other contributions. You can look at a failed workflow's log by clicking "Details", which will include the build's output.
Any errors must be resolved by you and/or by code reviewers before a pull request can be merged.
