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

Priority (wiki-aligned):

Epic - wars, kingdom fall/shatter, city destroyed, disasters
Story - kings, clans, alliances, favorites, new kingdoms/cities
Action - live battles/skirmishes (civ or wild), fighting units
Curiosity - new subspecies (low priority; will not interrupt fights)
Ambient - highest-scoring alive creature on the map (works on fresh animal-only worlds)

While watching, a dossier caption shows who they are (species, kills, age, roles). 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
