RivalAlly practical usage guide#

RivalAlly adds clan alliance and rivalry requests, relationships, limits, GUI and placeholders. This guide focuses on the actual administrator and player workflow: what to set up first, how to test it in-game, and what to check before enabling it for everyone.

How the feature works#

In normal use, the feature follows this flow: Use ally/rival commands to send/manage a relationship request. Accept/deny from the target clan where required. Verify relationship effects in other modules/addons that consume ally/rival state.

Recommended in-game workflow#

1. Use ally/rival commands to send/manage a relationship request.
2. Accept/deny from the target clan where required.
3. Verify relationship effects in other modules/addons that consume ally/rival state.

Administrator setup checklist#

• Set relationship limits, invite expiration and role permissions deliberately.

Configuration areas#

• Config — date_format_short, Rival, Ally, Permissions, unlocker

Changing settings safely#

1. Back up the component configuration and persistent data before changing a live server.
2. Change one feature area at a time.
3. Reload only if the component documents reload as safe; otherwise restart the server.
4. Test with a non-OP account that has exactly the intended clan role/permission.
5. Watch the console from the first relevant warning/error, not only the final stack trace.
6. On multiserver networks, repeat the check on every node and confirm shared storage/sync settings match.
