Feature request: test-mode

Open Gabbalo opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

I encountered several times the moment of truth: Is it working, or not? So I'd suggest a "test-mode" as a new feature, where the whole set of actions is played without

  • the need of players
  • the delay of 90 minutes

but within maybe 5 minutes in total. Everything is done as if there is a whole set of players. Cards are drawn, chats are filled, whatever more. So you can see as an admin, all cards are shown properly, the channels are working and whatever more :)

Hi, This already exists! Or, kind of. You still need at least one other discord account to meet the check for number of characters (since you can assign one character role to the bot itself), but you can speed up the game by following the instructions here.

That'll not work in Docker environment, since you can't access the dev_ids.txt file, there, right? File that as a feature request for ENV attributes then maybe ;)

Also: Discord refuses to grant me another account because they insist of using a cell phone number for registration (I even called for support on them, but no help possible -.- ). And since I only have one sole mobile number, I cannot activate my (existing but inactive) second account - which I would gladly use as a serveradmin for my Alice is Missing Discord to prevent me to see all channel as a player ... thats what I created the second one for in the first place

Makes sense. I'll look into adding a dry run command for admins after I finish the silent falls implementation. Thanks for the feedback!

On looking into the code, it seems like there was already an option to pass a single dev id using the DEV_ID environment variable. I've renamed it to WHITE_RABBIT_DEV_ID for consistency, however.
