ACM - Thank you, and a non-critical issue

[boydster 3]

Hello there. I've been playing around with ACM for the last day-ish, and first and foremost I want to say thank you Arceus for the hard work you put into it. Truly, it's a work of art. I'm on SMF 2.0.15, and the thing that has me scratching my head right now is that, even after I have created a couple characters, when I first go into the Character Manager, it displays a message stating "There are no characters created. Be the first one!" I dug through the Characters.template.php and it seems like $context['character_list'] must be coming back empty. I just don't know why. Has anyone else run into this, and is there a simple fix? I'm happy to provide more detail if needed, or even provide temporary admin access to my testdev server if that would be helpful.

 

Again, thank you for creating this. The mod is incredible and I'm excited to put it in use on my board. I think my users will have a blast with it.

I may have stumbled into a solution of sorts. When I enable Alliances, any characters that are in an alliance show up on that first screen. If possible, I'd still like to have characters show up in that listing even if they are not currently in an alliance.

ACM is designed to have alliances at the very least. It cannot operate without them.

Gotcha. OK thanks!

If you have a lot of characters that don't have an alliance, you can either create an alliance called unaffiliated or rogue or whatever, or rename alliances to something else that you do have, like race or something. c:

Awesome, I will keep that in mind.
