SmokeDragon 5 months ago dont use this it modifies evey value and this causes crashes.. i will make a list of safe values to edit so that it does not crash randomly +0 / -0
Superyard 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) this mod is very fun!! 4x range seems Op, though. I think you should make the probability into a normal distribution, so that values in the centre are more likely than those on the edges (but such that it still sometimes possible to get 4x). This code does this: https://pastebin.com/H2ZgMbmN +1 / -0
SmokeDragon 5 months ago good idea! tomorrow i will do as you suggested and create a list of sane weapon defs the code can edit. so that it nolonger includes random buggy things +0 / -0
SmokeDragon 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) does this look better? [Spoiler] local function grp(minp, maxp) local mid = (minp + maxp) / 2 local range = maxp - minp local perc = mid + math.random() * (range / 2) * (math.random() < 0.5 and -1 or 1) return perc / 100 end for name, ud in pairs(UnitDefs) do if ud.weapondefs then for _, wd in pairs(ud.weapondefs) do for key, value in pairs(wd) do if type(value) == "number" and value > 1 then local minp = 25 local maxp = 400 local rp = grp(minp, maxp) wd[key] = math.floor(value * rp) end end end end end im going to store things here but i need to go out so when i get back ill finish the list and add special case code for colors so that you can get purple beams on mace =P i had a bit of extra time so i pushed an update to check if a value was over 1.. this should drasticaly reduce crashes until i can finish the whitelist [Spoiler] fireStarter impulseBoost impulseFactor laserFlareSize range reloadtime thickness tileLength tolerance weaponVelocity flightTime startVelocity turnRate areaOfEffect craterBoost craterMult light_radius weaponAcceleration explosionSpeed lups_explodelife lups_explodespeed timeslow_damagefactor timeslow_overslow_frames sightDistance sonarDistance speed turnRate workerTime metalCost minCloakDistance health jump_range jump_height jump_speed jump_reload acceleration brakeRate default projectiles amph_regen myGravity size sizeDecay duration accuracy timeslow_damagefactor area_damage_radius area_damage_dps area_damage_duration area_damage_height_max area_damage_height_int area_damage_height_reduce edgeEffectiveness 0-1 area_damage_range_falloff 0-1 area_damage_time_falloff 0-1 intensity 0-1 +1 / -0
Superyard 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) It seems your perc code does the same as before? By normal distribution I meant a curve which looks like this: https://www.scribbr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/normal-distributions-comparison-example.webp Plussing 2 random numbers together creates a normal distribution of probability. This means that when you roll 2 dice (with 6 sides), you are more likely to get a 7 than a 2 or a 12, because it is in the centre of the range. If you instead rolled 1 die (with 12 sides), you would be just as likely to get a 7, 2 or 12. In https://anydice.com/ enter "output 2d6" and "output 1d12" and see! +0 / -0
SmokeDragon 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) well the good news is i dont think we need white lists so long as we target values above 1 tested no more crashes what about this? [Spoiler] local function normalrandom() local u1 = math.random() local u2 = math.random() local z = math.sqrt(-2 * math.log(u1)) * math.cos(2 * math.pi * u2) return z end local function grp(minp, maxp) local mid = (minp + maxp) / 2 local range = maxp - minp local z = normalrandom() local perc = mid + (z * (range / 4)) perc = math.max(minp, math.min(maxp, perc)) return perc / 100 end for name, ud in pairs(UnitDefs) do if ud.weapondefs then for _, wd in pairs(ud.weapondefs) do for key, value in pairs(wd) do if type(value) == "number" and value > 1 then local minp = 25 local maxp = 400 local rp = grp(minp, maxp) wd[key] = math.floor(value * rp) end end end end end +0 / -0
SmokeDragon 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) this seems to be working great now.. perhaps i should now link the changes to metalcost need to fix this the code does not lower the values correctly added clamping and doubled the rarity of extremes: [Spoiler] local function normalrandom() local u1 = math.random() local u2 = math.random() local z = math.sqrt(-2 * math.log(u1)) * math.cos(2 * math.pi * u2) return z end local function grp(minp, maxp) local mid = (minp + maxp) / 2 local range = maxp - minp local z = normalrandom() local perc = mid + (z * (range / 8)) perc = math.max(minp, math.min(maxp, perc)) return perc / 100 end for name, ud in pairs(UnitDefs) do if ud.weapondefs then for _, wd in pairs(ud.weapondefs) do for key, value in pairs(wd) do if type(value) == "number" and value > 3 then local minp = 25 local maxp = 400 local rp = grp(minp, maxp) wd[key] = math.floor(value * rp) end end end end end +1 / -0
Superyard 5 months ago You have created a masterpiece, SmokeDragon +1 / -0
SmokeDragon 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) thanks but im not sure im very good at this. i spend 2 days breaking the code and now im going to have to rework it compleatly so that commanders nolonger turn into invisible ghosts that cannot die i need to just get it so that it gives a bonus from 1-400% normalised around 1% with no negative values .. but it seems very finicky. i tried like 40 different logics so i feel its best i resimplify the code so my brain can handle whats even going on +0 / -0
Superyard 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) If you're unsure what your code does, then download Geogebra and plop your function inside. +1 / -0
SmokeDragon 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago) updated to include reload, burst, projectiles.. values now scale randomly from 4x less up to 4x more +0 / -0
