Inquiry: Would like to contribute

[cas-old]

Hello!
I would like to assist in contributing with this bot in some QoL aspects, but mostly to add more CAH cards and packs - if you would permit. :) I do have physical copies of each expansion, and I do not mind sitting down to add them!

Noone really uses CAH but whenever I do every 9 years its nice to have more variety, don't see why Jonas would mind.

Ah, I see - I mean, I'm not against contributing for my purpose if my group ends up being the only ones still actively playing, ha. Came across this just cause it was tied to the YAGPDB and so far my group has enjoyed using it.

@casist Hi! A few months ago I made a custom pack (the-office) and I submitted it as a pull request and it got merged, and it was in the next major bot update. It isn't super difficult to code a pack, just follow the outline of the other packs that are there. I also asked Jonas if he would possibly accept a new pack if I made it, and he said yes. So I would assume that you would also get accepted if you typed it up and submitted the request. If you need any help with it, you can reach out to me on discord ( mattgeowild#7200 )

@mattgeowild I just submitted a pull request to add eight new packs - how long does it usually take him to accept it, and how often is the bot updated?

@mcnv232 When I submitted my pack it took one day to be accepted, and about 20 days to be pushed to the bot. Updates usually occur just around every 30 days, although there are definitely exceptions. The last major update was March 21st so we should be coming up on an update here pretty soon, although the bot is on a feature freeze so it depends. Shouldn't be too long though, I'd estimate 1-2 weeks.

@mattgeowild Sorry to target you with all these questions, but you seem to be more involved in these discussions. I've also created a PR (#19) to add card packs and change the way blank cards are dealt with. I'm not terribly familiar with Go, so it would be nice to have you (or another more experienced person) look over it, if you wouldn't mind.

@LRitzdorf LOL, I am not very experienced in Go either, I just followed the formatting in the previous packs- but sure, I'll take a look. :)
