If you have set up a group, you can still enable or disable various action options within the online sessions. The settings affect the next session of your group. You can also change the settings during a session. How to do this is described below:
-
Press this button on the app bar of the game view to show the list of secondary commands. On a PC, you can use the menu of the title bar alternatively. This menu is more detailed than that of the app bar, so you can reach almost all the panes directly.
- Select the command: Manage game users.
- Die game users pane comes into view.
- Click this button to go to next pane. Alternatively, you may press the key combination Alt+Right arrow.
- The user accounts pane becomes visible.
- Click this button to go to next pane. Alternatively, you may press the key combination Alt+Right arrow.
- The online group pane becomes visible. Here, the group name and the group password must be entered.
- Press this button to verify the access to the group. This button is disabled if the access was done already and the fields group name and password were not changed in the meantime.
- Click this button to go to next pane. Alternatively, you may press the key combination Alt+Right arrow.
This button is disabled as long as the access to the group is not verified.
- The session settings pane becomes visible. You can edit the following settings here:
- Enable playing assistant
Normally, the playing assistant is not used in online sessions. If you check this option, the simulator selects that action or playing card he would chose in this situation. To confirm the selection, it is sufficient to press the Enter key or the Spacebar. The risk appetite of the simulator can be adjusted on the game settings pane.
- Enable Undo/Redo
Normally, the buttons for undo and redo are disabled during an online session. If you check this option, the currently active player can revert an action or redo an reverted action. It is also possible then to restart the game or to playback the game forward or backward.
- Autoplay interval
This setting applies only to online sessions in your group, and is applied only when less than 4 online players are involved in a session. The autoplay function allows the simulator to simulate one player after another without the game master having to intervene. The Autoplay function stops when the next player is controlled by an online user. The time interval between two player simulations can be set with this slider. You can move the slider between 0 and 20 seconds. The default value is 2 seconds. The Autoplay function is suspended in certain game situations, so that all online players have an opportunity to adjust to the situation. If the autoplay feature is disabled or suspended, the game master must trigger the simulator by clicking the pulsating player portrait.
- Press this button if you want to apply the changed settings to the current online session immediately. Otherwise, changes will not take effect until the next session is started. The button is disabled if no online session of your group is open or if the settings are unchanged.
