Install

Use R2ModMan or similar installer to install this plugin.

Use R2ModMan to configure optional settings (port) for the plugin.

Usage

This plugin does not provide any way for the players to see the Talespire environment. Typically to get around this

the GM would stream a Talespire view for the players. Check out the Stream Views Plugin for the ability to stream

different views for the players while still maintaining the GM account view as secret.

The players can launch the Remote Control App. Currently this is a simple Win Forms app.

The player enters the IP address of the GM's machine (that the GM provides to the players) and the port. The default

port is 11000 but can be changed using the R2ModMan configuration for the Remote Control Plugin (i.e. the Talespire

component run by the GM).

The player then enters the mini name that they wish to control. Typically this would be the name of their own mini.

After that the player can press the directional buttons on the Remote Control App in order to move his/her mini,

rotate his/her mini, move the camera, and/or rotate the camwera.

Settings on the remote are provided to determine how much each button press moves, how much each button press rotates,

and if the mini is to change facing whem moving.

The RemoteControlApp.exe can be found in the plugins install directory.

Web Control

Within the pack there is also a folder called Remote which contains two files: Remote.ht
