In addition to our current ranks, we have one more:
Creator (not for sale) - PM Redbot
Requirements
At this time, the Creator rank is for those who have written, updated, or maintained code in the last year, and their work has been enjoyed by the RedGuides community. (We may consider guide writers in the future)
If you've written or maintained a cool little macro or program and don't have the creator badge, please PM Redbot to apply. Please include in your PM:
But I can't write a macro or plugin, and I want access!
You can teach yourself to write a macro from scratch. It's a topic that has been discussed, and there are many guides. If you're comfortable with C++, you can help out the community with plugins.
But the easiest route, in my opinion, is to take an older macro or plugin and update it, fix it, or add a quick feature*. Macro script is usually easy to read for non-coders. Find something that needs a feature, or is out of date, and just tweak it and then maintain it.
We have an entire community ready to help you learn, use it!
After your macro, plugin, or program has been enjoyed by the RG community, PM Redbot for access.
*If you are forking someone else's work, ask the author for permission. If no response, please acknowledge their contribution.
