GM room (manual testing)
The owner's test space — spawn any monster, elite or boss, static targets with DPS meters, an item forge with exact affixes and tiers, one-click preset builds (level 40, full gear, full Atlas, Codex, hotbar), resets, debug toggles and a network lab. Replaces any custom alpha kit.
The GM room is where the owner (and QA testers the owner chooses) tests anything without grinding: a private
Caravan Proving Ground instance plus /gm commands on test servers. It replaces the old custom alpha kit
(10M gold, 999 orbs): the alpha ruleset is now just the live game × multipliers (Alpha).
Data: gm-room.json.
- Access: only accounts with the
gmorqarole. Only the owner grants roles; agents never do. - Safety: every GM action is audited (who, what, where). GM-made items carry a
gmflag and can never be traded, sold, listed or mailed. On live servers the commands exist only for the GM role. - Rules still hold: GM tools never add a global time-scale, and monster telegraphs stay visible.
- Build order: GM-01 (M2), GM-02 (M4) and GM-03 (end of M9) in the roadmap; until M6 test builds use a dev-only local GM flag, then the role the owner gives his own account with a local CLI (GM-04).
◆Time and weather
The GM arena has Time and Weather buttons (ADR-030). They send /gm time, /gm cycle
and /gm weather and affect this GM instance only, so any effect, telegraph or character can be checked at dawn, day,
dusk and night and in each weather state without waiting. States and budgets: time-weather.json.
◆Preset builds
Click a preset (or type /gm preset <build>) to get a level-40 character for that build:
- Full gear: an epic +10 weapon with the build's damage affixes, rare armour of its class, and rare jewelry.
- Gems: the element's primary gem plus two supports on the weapon, and Reed Rush plus two supports on the belt.
- A full 45-point Atlas, computed with the same planner as the Atlas page. Each card links to it.
- All 8 Codex picks, and the chain slots and Q–C hotbar from
builds.json.
◆Item forge
Pick any base, refinement level, exact affixes (tier and value) and sockets. The preview is the real in-game popup, and
the box lists the /gm commands that create the same item on a test server.
