Voidwatch module

The game module and the upload scripts for Voidwatch, a dashboard for players who run many OTClientV8 clients.

• voidwatch/: the OTClientV8 module. It makes no web requests. It writes the character state into files; commands from files come later. A button in the client's top bar opens a window that shows what it sends.
• voidwatch/bot/ and the orion*.lua adapters: what the stock cavebot, vBot and Orion-OTS add, such as routes, tasks, loot, blessings and death redemption.
• upload/: the upload script for Windows (upload.ps1) and for macOS and Linux (upload.sh), also for clients in Wine or CrossOver. It sends the files to the website and brings back the replies.
• setup-* and remove-*: they install the upload script to start at every login, or remove it.

The upload script is required. The game client sends nothing itself, so without the script nothing reaches the website.

Verified on Orion-OTS. Most other servers lock their client against modules.

Install

1. Download voidwatch-module.zip from the latest release.
2. Follow README.txt in the zip, or the getting started guide.

Check a download

Every release has a SHA256SUMS file. Compare it with the hash of your zip:

shasum -a 256 voidwatch-module.zip

Update

From module 0.6.0, the Voidwatch window in the game shows Update to X.Y.Z when a newer release is out. The upload script downloads the zip and SHA256SUMS from the releases of this repo, checks the hash and keeps the old module as a backup. Roll back puts the backup back. The script never takes code from the website.

Adapt the module to a server

Server-specific data (routes, supplies, tasks) comes from adapters. See adding a server.

Release

Push a tag like v0.6.0. The release workflow packs the zip and the checksum file and publishes the release. Every client with module 0.6.0 or newer then offers it as an update.
