Update Command

Update an existing character from a JSON file or URL.

Usage

!update [json_url]

Description

The update command allows you to update your existing character data from Shadowdarklings or a JSON file. You can update your character in three ways:

  1. From Source URL: If your character was previously imported or updated with a Shadowdarklings URL, simply run !update without any arguments
  2. From a New URL: Provide a new URL to update from: !update https://shadowdarklings.com/characters/123
  3. From a File: Attach a JSON file containing the updated character data

Examples

Update a character from its source URL: 

!update

Update a character from a new URL: 

!update https://shadowdarklings.com/characters/123

Update a character from a file: 

!update (with a JSON file attachment)

Notes

  • The character must be selected first using !character <name>
  • If no changes are detected in the new data, you'll be notified immediately
  • Updates require approval before being applied
  • Unapproved updates automatically timeout after 5 minutes
  • The source URL is preserved when updating from a file
  • You can only have one pending update at a time
