Random votes

[RZarifov]

I bet it was asked a godzillion times but still.

Even tried to implement one myself via tampermonkey, but I guess it would be wiser to implement one via pull req to this repo.
Therefore I ask - how are things in that regard currently? Maybe devs already implementing them? If not, if I implement such a feature, will the pull request be applied?

Hey Xeizzeth,

Yeah if you put together a PR that can create a poll from the mod then I'd be happy to merge it. Main things I'd be thinking about are

• How do they get triggered, is it in the mod config window or on an automatic timer
• How do you configure things like poll length in the mod, is it a defined number or can streamers change it and where is that config stored
• How do you balance what is being put up for vote. The polls are based on what the trigger is (is it a toxic fallout or is it a bed) and how many of them (5 beds or 1000 chickens?!). These are vastly different in value and affect on a colony

It sounds like you've already had a peak at our API requests, but seeing as the server code isn't open source I'll lay out what you need.

• You'll want to be sending requests to the /poll/create endpoint (connection and base url should already be defined in the mod)
• The body of the request needs an expiry key which is the datetime of when it will expire (It shouldn't be like this, but alas)
• the body also needs a key voteOptions which is an array of objects in the shape {validCommand: ObjectId, amount: number}

If you want to work with me to answer those questions then I'd be happy for you craft a PR.

So I assume noone even tried to implement such functionality?
If so, then I will be able to tackle on adding said functionality only after I will be done with my current "Endless Story" mod.
