# IdleSpectator
|
|
|
|
WorldBox NeoModLoader mod: AFK Idle Spectator camera director.
|
|
|
|
## Controls
|
|
|
|
- **I** - toggle Idle Spectator on/off
|
|
- **F9** - toggle Character Chronicle side panel (non-modal; works with focus)
|
|
- Dragging the camera while Spectator is on turns it off (after a short grace period)
|
|
|
|
## What it follows
|
|
|
|
The camera follows the developing lives and relationships of a small emerging cast. A story
|
|
scheduler chooses developments that advance an active character thread, yields to critical world
|
|
events, and returns only when the story has new evidence. `EventStrength` still models urgency and
|
|
visual value, but it no longer owns continuity. Bounded character/world fill runs when no episode
|
|
has a usable development.
|
|
|
|
While watching, a **character beat caption** shows who they are (Identity), an orange **event sentence** (Beat), and muted Context (story spine or open stake).
|
|
Main characters get `Name · Title` when they have a real role; tips may gain a self-explanatory relation clause.
|
|
See [`docs/life-saga.md`](docs/life-saga.md) and [`docs/event-reason.md`](docs/event-reason.md).
|
|
|
|
Lingering on someone writes a **Chronicle** line; F9 lists them and click jumps the camera.
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
- `IdleSpectator/` - mod source (`mod.json` + C#), loaded/compiled by NML
|
|
- `scripts/verify-nml.sh` - load verification helper
|
|
- `docs/event-reason.md` - evidence, orange-reason, and camera-alignment contract
|
|
|
|
## Deploy
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ln -sfn "$(pwd)/IdleSpectator" \
|
|
"$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/worldbox/Mods/IdleSpectator"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
