Custom Mode Features

[JacksonVirgo]

Custom games are always fun when you can get a bunch of people together to play a game but ideally it kinda is bland aorn. Adding some features for more control over the game's rules will make Custom a different experience than the more 'balanced' game-modes that the game has to offer.

Features:

• The ability to save and load set role-lists with rules that you've created as well as distribute them online with a code or the like for easy access and just to make life so much simpler than just adding each role manually each and every time.
• The ability to add or remove specific rule for the games such as the following
  • Toggle whether or not Last Wills are used in the game.
  • Toggle player roles flipping upon a night death.
  • Toggle player wills flipping upon a night death.
  • Toggle player roles flipping upon a lynch.
  • Toggle player wills flipping upon a lynch.
  • Toggle if players get feedback from roles such as Transporter/Escort.
  • Toggle revealing the cause of death of players.
  • Changing specific phase times
  • Change the maxium amount of players that are put on stand before the day ends.
  • Set how many lover pairs will be given in the game and which roles cannot have a lover (Coven exclusive)
  • Set an alignment or multiple with a VIP of in which they die all of that alignment will die (Coven exclusive)
  • Blacklisting a specific role or alignment from rolling in a given game.
• Allowing custom roles to exist in the game. This will be an iffy one I don't expect to ever be touched if any of these suggestions even get added but writing up a basic script for an Escort that can reveal themselves and gain votes could look like in the spoiler below. This could be used to aid in creating role-ideas or balancing existing roles (probably via blacklisting the role and recreating it through this). Though of course it would need to be developed a lot more and add a faction script as well to handle specific factional rules like how Coven have the Necronomicon and Mafia should have Tactical kills. Spoiler:

  Code: Select all

  var playerObj;
var hasRevealed;
function start(player) {     // this function would happen before any roles are randed AND after each player gets their role-card.
    playerObj = player;

    playerObj.flipName = "Escort the Mayor";
    playerObj.flipAlignment = playerObj.Constants.TOWN;
    playerObj.flipSubAlignment = "Support"
    playerObj.unique = true;
    playerObj.rbImmune = true;
    playerObj.hasDayAction = true;
    playerObj.hasNightAction = true;
    hasRevealed = false;
}

function onDayStart() {

}

function onDayEnd() {
    if (hasRevealed === false) {
        playerObj.sendPrivateMessage("You didn't use your day ability!");
    }
}

function onDayAction() {
    chat.SendMessage(player.name + "has revealed themselves as the Mayor!");
    playerObj.voteWeight = 3;
    playerObj.hasDayAction(false);
}

function onNightStart() {
    playerObj.setNightActions(playerObj.Constants.OTHER_PLAYERS); // Sets so every player can be selected at night except you.
}

function onNightEnd() {
    playerObj.getSelectedPlayer().roleblock();
}


It's 3am as of writing this so if it's a pile of garbage idea just blame that lmao, but any thoughts or additions would be lovely.
Thank you

I like most of these ideas (I’ve wanted Lovers/VIP modifiers in Coven Custom for ages), but the last one I feel would be too complicated for players to use. Most people don’t know how to write scripts, nor do they want to make a Scratch project before playing a game of Town of Salem. It’d be interesting for the few willing to jump the hurdle, but useless for the majority.

The other ideas sound delightful, though =)
