Accept connections automatically?

There is not currently a way to accept the connections automatically. This is not a bad suggestion though it might be the first time I've seen it. In the meantime, would it be possible for the players to log in when you are there and then leave themselves logged in?

 

Hail and well met spumoni,

Presently when a Player connects, the Judge sees a decision prompt to broadcast the game out so the new Player can see the map. As Daggeth mentioned, d20Pro has been designed with "live" play in mind where the Judge and Players are always around.

Still it is really easy to allow the Judge to toggle an option that will automatically broadcast the game as soon as a Player connects. This will work in conjunction with a password enabled game.

So I went ahead and coded this feature for inclusion in the upcoming v2.4 release. Bear in mind that this will simply show the map. Any actions (attacks, spell casting) still require Judge interaction. Though the Player should be able to join, do their action and then when the Judge returns to the computer they should be able to process the Player's request then.

Hopefully this small tweak will facilitate the play style of your group. I expect v2.4 to be out mid-February (as a free upgrade of course). Please stay tuned. :geek:

 

In the mean time, you could try to get Autohotkey to auto accept. Just have it sit in the background and continuous loop until it gets a broadcast.
