For new members of our forums. WIP. Suggestions welcome.
 

As a new member of TR you need to know where to find the most important things.

Forums

Our forums are used for discussions. The forums are where we discuss project organization, coordination, and lore, accept feedback, answer questions, and share artwork and ideas. Discussion also happens on our IRC and Discord chat channels and during weekly development meetings. The forums are also used to showcase (see guidlines) to become a CS developer.

Claims Browser

There are a few things our forums should not be used for. Sharing and updating esp files takes place in the Claims Browser, which is where new requests to develop new chunks of content are put. [Link to how to use claims browser]

Asset Browser

The asset browser is where we put and develop all our models, textures, quests, literature, etc, as detailed below:

Models and textures of any kind always go in the asset browser.

Audio assets of any kind always go in the asset browser.

Quests start as rough ideas on the forums, but once they’re developed enough to be distinct, they move to the asset browser. Once they’re ready to be put in the CS they go in the claims browser. Any literature/assets related to the quest should be posted directly in the asset browser.

Literature of any kind: books, scrolls, notes, etc, always goes in the asset browser.

Concepts that are vague or sketchy should be posted in the concept art forum. Concepts that are detailed/developed, or are functional art, should be posted in the asset browser. Concepts related to a specific thread (such as Dres Architecture) should be posted in that thread; concepts related to a specific asset/quest/etcshould be posted on that asset in the browser.

Handbook
This is our compendium of information, both internal and lore-based. In there we keep our lore planning documents and our modder’s guide. READ THE GUIDELINES that refer to your particular modding department.

Dashboard
Your dashboard is accessible under your name/icon in the upper right corner. This is the place to go to see new developments on the entire site and should be the place you visit first and frequently. This contains lists of the most recently updated forum posts, assets, etc, as well as lists of things to work on, like assets that need reviews.

Bugtracker
Accessed under “development” menu at top of site. All bugs, issues, suggestions, and reminders should be posted here. Found something wrong? Post it there. Don’t post it in the feedback forum.
