Helping Out
There are multiple ways of helping to improve the SR5 Foundry VTT system that don't include JavaScript development! No matter how you contribute, all changes and improvements made will be attributed to the community members involved. After all, there are no cyberpunk dystopic megacorporations involved in this project.
One of the easiest and most direct ways is to help out other users of the system via the #shadowrun-5e channel on the Foundry Virtual Tabletop Community Discord server.
Issues/Enhancements
Discussing issues and enhancements via Discord is a valid way to help improve the system, yet as soon as the dicussion gets concrete it's more efficient to file an issue on SR5-FoundryVTT GitHub's Issue Tracker. This allows for better tracking and assignment of problems and todos. Before creating a new issue, please search the tracker to see if there is an existing entry that you can comment on instead.
Content
While they system cannot include a complete set of content (like weapons, armor, or gear) due to licensing considerations, there is the possibility for original content to be included with the system. There are also users in the Foundry VTT Discord that can provide guidance on self-publishing material in a Foundry-compatible format.
Translations
There have been amazing community efforts regarding translating the system. All availalble translations are included within the system's installation and can be found in /systems/shadowrun5e/dist/locale inside the server's User Data. Should you want to improve an existing translation you can edit the .json file, test your changes, and provide them with a GitHub issue. In case you want to directly include them with a GitHub pull request, reach out on the Discord for proper instructions.
Please be careful when updating the system with changes made to files, as a system update will overwrite all changes made!
Development
