Werewolf Game Mod FAQ & Discussion

This is a quick tutorial on creating forums and sub forums for your game and teams on COP


Step one is logging into Admin CP, you do this using your usual COP login


Here we'll just click "Create New Forum" out left



Next the forum name, typically formatted as "Werewolf LXIX - The 69'ing"



Next, we need to select the Parent Forum (Our forum goes inside the parent)



We use "General" here



Now scroll down and save your forum



Doneski. Now we need to add Goodie, Baddie, Dead and Mod Rooms, lets click "Options" beside our new forum to do this



"Add Child Forum", this will create a new forum inside our forum



So we just type the sub-forum name, and ensure the parent forum is our just created forum.



Scroll down, and save, and done.



Next we need to create sub forums inside the Good and, if neccessary, Evil Forums. To do this, click on the Forum, in this case I'll be adding one to the Wolf Room. I'll need one sub forum for each evil team, and one sub forum in the good room for each Good Role requiring a backroom (e.g. if I have a priest and seer I'll need two, with a BG and Vigilante I'd need four).



From here, we click "Add Child Forum" and work as before, each time ensuring that we select the correct Parent Forum in each case.

First up, click the "Users & Groups" tab at the top of Admin CP



Next, "Add New User Group"



I'm naming this one "Test Group", but the usergroup is for anyone with their own permissions or subforum. Every roled Goodie and every Evil Team will need their own Usergroup.



Next, lets create some users for these groups (if you want, you can just give people personal access to their forums)



Every user needs a password and email, as its being created by an admin it doesn't need to be a real email address, so for example "scar@disney.ww" would be a valid email for Scars account in the Disney game.

Since this account will belong to a wolf, we'll skip a step and set its Primary User Group to "Wolves" now.



Click "Save User" to ensure they're created.



Next, we're gonna give two unfortunate players Dead Room access



Let's search their names



Click the checkbox next to everyones name you wish to change permissions for, you can search more names without losing old selections.



Next, click the dropdown box and select "Change User's Usergroup", and then click the "Go" button (Do not collect $200)



Here we select which usergroup we want to change them to, in this case its the Dead Room.



Make sure to hit "Save Changes", and that's it.
