Contribution guide

**Welcome to the contribution guide you can use to creation submissions for E-Party One**

__**What can I submit?**__

**[Minigames]**
Minigames are short little games players will play and compete to get a win. Get the minigame creation kit for creating your minigame and read all instructions in the **Instructions script**. You should also scroll down to get help for whitelisting, testing, and how your minigame could be in the real game.

**[Maps]**
Maps are structures and builds that minigames can be played on. Get the map creation kit for creating your map and read all instructions in the **Instructions** script. You should also scroll down to get help on whitelisting, testing maps, and how it could be in the main game.

**[Taunts]**
Taunts are emotes/dances that players can play with and taunt other players. Get the taunt creation guide and read all instructions and how you submit your taunt.

__**Whitelisting minigames/maps**__

Once you're done with your submission, publish the submission as a model, allow copying, and put ``-[Minigame]-``(if is a minigame), or ``-[Map]-``(if is a map) in the front of the model's name, and the name of your minigame/map after. Please make use of the model's description to briefly describe your minigame/map.

Go to the creation testing server, open the console, and enter the model's URL in the ``Enter your submission url`` TextBox, and press the Whitelist button. Your submission will appear in #whitelisting.

Whitelisting is a manual process and I usually whitelist new incoming submissions every day around 3pm - 10pm on Mondays - Thursdays, 3pm - 12am(the next day) on Fridays, and 9am - 12am (the next day) on Saturdays and Sundays. To indicate that your submission has been whitelisted, I'll put a [:white_check_mark:] on your submission.

__**Testing submissions**__

Once your minigame/map is whitelisted, it can be played in the creation testing server. Open up the console, enter the model link for your submission, and press the ``Load submission model``. The console will print errors, warnings, etc. from your minigame to help with debugging it.

__**How would my minigame/map submission get into the main game?**__

Developers and/or myself will host testing sessions every Saturday on 3pm EST and 9pm EST, and will also invite members of the community to test the submission. If the minigame/map is broken, you'll be notified to fix your submission before the next testing session. If not, the community will give feedback and also determine if the submission should be added in their own opinion.

When your submission is accepted, you'll be notified and will receive the contributor role, and you will be given credit for the submission.
