Player edit

[Majorian]

Hey there everyone! I'm wondering if it is possible to allow players to edit or create entries. If there is a section in a tutorial or anything like this, being pointed in the right direction would help.

Thanks all.

No. Player mode is read only. They get a note-pad from memory but largely it's there to view what the DM has shared.

Oh wow, that was fast.
I see.
If someone has a GM copy, can I then extend permissions to them?

[daplunk]

If someone has a GM copy and they connect to your realm they will still only have Player View access to that realm. Realm Works is not a tool that allows GMs to concurrently edit a realm at the same time.

What you can do though is have multiple people with GM copies creating content that gets put into a master realm.

For example there are about 15 of us contributing content and feeding it into the master realm here.

After a week of searching I finally found some one working on a collaboration.
I have not found any thing about how to do this, could you point me in the right direction. It is just me and one other working on this home brew world. We are both super new to RW and could use some step by step help.

Thank you

Or, if you really trust the players, you can share your GM Login. There can be only one person logged in at one time though.

that can get tricky when you go to sync though. It really can mess things up. If things do go wrong, then the best case scenario would be one of you looses your work, worst case scenario, you both loose a lot more and beg LWD to fix your mess.

Dont know how that worst case scenario would occur, because only one user can be logged in at the time. Anyways I didn't test this (and never will), so maybe you are correct.

But isn't the problem more that RW has been licensed to the user, so he would not be allowed to share the login...

The problem occurs when PC1 forgets to sync after their editing session...

If changes are made on PC2 and he syncs with the server, then later when PC1 comes to sync again he has to decide whether to accept the changes made by PC2 (i.e. whats on the server), or to discard the changes made on PC2 and replace them with the changes made on PC1.

Off the top of my head, the worst case is probably unlikely... but I don't like to tempt fate. Anyway, your probably going to hear a lot of bitching from the person who lost a lot of data entry work. Which may be even more of a pain.
