Respawn Timer is a discord bot that provides accurate respawn timers for wars in New World. It is simple to use, highly customizable and can be automated fully. With the Raidhelper integration you only have to set it up once and the bot will automatically join voice when a Raidhelper event starts.
If you don't want to deploy your own instance via docker or node or just want to test the bot you can use the public instance of the bot at the risk of it being down for a few minutes whenever I update it. I try to only update it at times when there are no wars in EU timezones.
I will maintain this bot as long as I actively play the game.
Create a text widget with /create that allows full control over the bot and provides quick access to the settings as well.
The widget shows important information about upcoming respawns, amount of remaining respawns and the duration of the current next respawn duration. While the widget is not active it will display information about the next scheduled event if the Raidhelper Integration is enabled.
The text widget is just for convenience, if you only want to setup the raidhelper integration for example you can use /settings for the setup without ever creating a widget.
You can connect Raidhelper by using /apikey show to get your API key and then set the key within the Respawn Timer Bot settings. By default the bot will then scan for new Raidhelper events every 5 minutes and schedule them if Auto-Join is enabled.
The bot will then automatically join the voice channel that is specified in the Raidhelper Event settings - or the Default Voice Channel if the event doesn't have a voice channel option - 5 seconds before the war begins.
Customized Timestamps are highlighted
By default the voice announcements use a set of timestamps that have been field tested by multiple companies over hundreds of wars. Over the course of the development of this bot I have reviewed and compared the timestamps with dozens of VoDs and can confirm that the announcements are always correct.
(New World has always had the issue that your respawn timer runs slower the less FPS you have in the death screen. This was especially apparent in the time period where frames dropped below 5-10 for almost everyone when entering the death screen. This can sometimes lead to the timer being off for someone who has low FPS. The majority of players will spawn at the exact timestamp though) dsfdsfdfs
The bot currently offers several unique voices for audio announcements.
They can be simply be changed with a drop-down menu in the settings even while the bot is already in your voice channel.
You can set Editor and Assistant roles. Editor roles have full access to the bot and can edit the settings while Assistant roles can only use the buttons on the widget to toggle the text and voice announcements.
Set a dedicated notification channel in the Notification Settings to get notfied when the bot encounters problems like missing permissions or when events get de-/scheduled. You will also receive important app updates here.
You can create your own docker image of this app by building the Dockerfile, or use an automatically created image from GitHub packages.
