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 ranked events from live feeds (wars, fights, relationships, buildings, statuses, plots, …). EventStrength decides who wins; quieter events still take the shot when nothing stronger is pending. Character fill only runs when the event queue is empty (no orange reason; task chip shows the live job).

While watching, a dossier caption shows who they are and an orange event sentence (why the camera is here), e.g. Kaszus is fighting Waaaf. See 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 - events-own-camera + EventReason contract
