Copying a game mode

Existing game modes can be copied by clicking the clipboard icon of the game mode that should be copied and entering a name for the resultant game mode in the popup prompt.

Game modes are created from the game mode manager page. To create a game mode click the New game mode button and follow the popup prompt.

Deleting a game mode

Game modes can be deleted singularly or on mass. To delete a single game mode click on the trash bin icon. To delete multiple networks select multiple game modes then with each of these game modes show as selected click the Delete all button on the bottom right of the window and respond to the prompt.

Configuring a game mode

The game mode configuaration page allows all configurable elements of a game mode to be assigned values. Range bound values are represented as sliders, Unbounded numeric values and free text inputs are represented as single line input fields. Data such as the game mode name can also be edited in a seperate menu on the left side of the window.

Saving changes

By default when the game mode is updated the changes will automatically be saved to the game mode in the database.

Game mode sections

The configuaration page divides the game mode into seperate tabs for each of its sections. Each tab has an icon which will appear with a green outline when the section of the game mode is valid.

Editing a specific game mode

When a game mode is created the game mode configuaration page will automatically open. Otherwise the configuaration page for a specific game mode can be opened by clicking the pencil icon or eye icon on the game mode element. Locked game modes are uneditable and will appear on the configuaration page with the input elements disabled and on the management page with an eye icon icon in place of the pencil icon.

Validation

When value of game mode elements are updated the validation checks speicified in the :class: ~yawning_titan.game_modes.game_mode.GameMode are executed. The errors (if any) are then displayed as bullet points under the heading of the group or element to which they apply.
