dnd-remote
An attempt to make DnD easier to play remotely in these socially-isolated times.
Overview
The goal here is to have a DM running the game with control over all objects, and several players with limited control over their own character.
3rd party tools
These tools have been .gitignored, meaning you will have to install them yourself.
For the node.js packages, cd to the /server/ directory and npm install, which will automatically install the packages you need.
For the Unity assets, you'll need to add them individually. I have added my 3rd party packages into a folder in Assets/ called "3RDPARTY", which .gitignore will ignore. You don't have to, but make sure the .gitignore file conatins a reference to any 3rd party apps you use.
- node: server/app.js runs on node.js
- express
- socketio
- SocketIO for Unity
- make sure to download the (free) asset SocketIO for Unity and include it in your project. Project will break without this.
Goals/Roadmap
This is a very much living document and any input is welcome!
Immediate Goals
- Fog of War/hidden objects
- DM Multi-select, multi-move, and mult-object interaction (Requires overhaul of DM_* scripts)
- Generic Set Decor (Requires adding new prefabs into Resources/Prefabs folder)
- Enhanced map creation tools (e.g. adding blocks in bulk - lines, rectangles. May require overhaul of DMSelection and DMCreation handlers)
- Local server integration for OSX (See StartNodeServer.cs)
Future Goals
- Stats integration (HP, AC, ??)
- VFX for spellcasting/attacks/deaths
Reach Goals
- AR/mobile Player interface
