Reveal for GM

Or you switch the GM version into "Player Edition" mode to see exactly what a player will see when he syncs.

Is it an exact replica? If yes, it's helpful but it still means toggling back and forth and back and forth to make adjustments. Eventually I'd get the hang of it but initially at least it sounds painful.

However, once we get individual reveal control implemented, that will be PER CHARACTER.

Therefore, if a player runs two characters, he'll be able to see what BOTH of those characters know, individually OR (hopefully) collectively.

I hope this eliminates any confusion on the subject...

+1 and glad to hear it IS going to happen.... I guess timing is based on the poll.

So for example, when you flag the NPC "Alecto" as encountered, all players would see in their PE an entry that only shows the tags "Human" and "Female", leaving the actual name blank and only the player who noted her name would also get to see the actual name.*snip*

I think the intent is you should reveal an alias for "Alecto." Maybe one that says something like "Human Female" or something like that...

Blank entry names are more elegant. They're also easier to add. It also sounds like it'd be easier to code, if I were designing this from scratch.

I just tested, and if you reveal an Alias but not the Topic name, nothing shows up in Player Mode.

Yeah I get the same issue. I'm assuming that it's not supposed to work this way.

It would be quicker than having to sync your GM edition up to the server, and then sync your Player Edition down from the server!
