Add support for new characters
Maybe consequently add a command to change localization data in .env file instead of having to manually change it everytime ?
Is this a feature for adding new localization characters? Or new playable characters? Because that second one? I'm all about that. I'm sure I could help draft up a few additional PCs to mix up the game a bit.
It would be new playable characters. The main difficulty here is that implementing this requires a fair amount of work. Off the top of my head:
- Localization would have to be reworked a bit to allow for arbitrary character names, probably using placeholder strings like $NAME$ or something similar.
- The bot would need to create new channels for each character added to the game, probably through a command like
!addchar Riley. This would also require creating new roles and setting permissions correspondingly.
Timing of this is interesting. After our successful game on Sunday, I had some conversation about changing setting and characters, and thought about the modularity of white-rabbit. I think that conversation fell apart after it seemed like the very specific genre of Alice is Missing fits the form of the game really well. Hard to imagine a cyberpunk or scifi game so well dialed in for text messaging.
Bumping this issue because an expansion pack is in the works:

Current status: the bot can find and use additional cards for the following:
- suspects
- locations
- searching cards
To use these cards, add the files to the resources folder in the appropriate locations, then make a copy of base.yaml in card_lists and add the relevant entries. Finally, set WHITE_RABBIT_USE_LOCAL_IMAGES to true, and set WHITE_RABBIT_CARD_LIST to the name of your file, without the .yaml extension.
The bot should also be able to find new character cards, but the ability to play with them is blocked on #121.
Closing this issue as custom character cards are supported in the latest commit. The format for the custom card lists will likely change before the 0.14.0 release though, especially as I still need to implement support for new clues.
