Random Tables lookups? - Page 6

mirtos · August 21st, 2014, 09:10 AM

Agreed. you have a valid point, DLG.

Jaynay27 · 11:57 PM

once again - thank you for your help Mirtos, but my copy paste coding must be weak

Using your example the random number of bandits was produced with each click.

I then changed the whole table to the following, but found the random function did not work (tested in chrome - for example, I clicked a bunch of times & everytime trolls were returned as a result, there was always 4 of them. Curiously there was always 1 bandit and 6 wolves

).

*edit* after testing some more, it would appear once the line making the Bandits appear all the time has been changed back to normal (in the first line of code specifying max value of 5) the rand function ceases to work. weird. I tested this with the original code where the only random function was in the bandit line (not the version of code pasted below, with rand functions attached to multiple lines).

aquaticArray.push({"max": 5, "content": rand(6) + " bandits; CR 1"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 11, "content": rand(4) + " boars; CR 3"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 17, "content": rand(4) + " boggards; CR 3"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 21, "content": "1 brush thylacine; CR 2"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 28, "content": rand(6) + " elk; CR 5"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 32, "content": "1 faerie dragon; CR 2"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 35, "content": rand(4) + " grigs; CR 2"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 41, "content": "1 grizzly bear; CR 4"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 49, "content": "1 hunter; CR 1/3"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 57, "content": "1 nixie; CR 1"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 62, "content": "1 owlbear; CR 4"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 69, "content": "1 shambling mound; CR 6"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 75, "content": "1 slurk; CR 2"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 79, "content": "1 tatzlwyrm; CR 2"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 83, "content": rand(4) + " trolls; CR 7"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 90, "content": "1 will o wisp; CR 6"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 96, "content": rand(6) + " wolves; CR 4"});
aquaticArray.push({"max": 100, "content": "1 worg; CR 2"});

It's possible we should rewrite the rand function to reseed each time. I will check that.

Is your rand function using Math.randomize() that was discussed in the other thread? Or maybe there's another bug in the code I didn't realize. I will look at it later.

Farnaby · August 26th, 2014, 12:54 AM

As posted in the other Random Table thread:

Just want to say thank you very much for this code.
I used to code a long, long time ago, so I could understand
most of what you were doing here and successfully made
my own random encounter tables for Rise of the Runelords.

This has been invigorating looking at code again.

Again, thanks.

When i test on chrome, (at work not by RW) and changed the rand() function it worked a little better.

by the way, ive put the file on github, and its an open repository.

https://github.com/mmacgibbon/RWPages

Jaynay27 · August 26th, 2014, 10:15 PM

You are a genius (or genie

) Mirtos.

Will work on the full tables from there and let you know how I go.

Jaynay27 · 11:20 PM

Ok - here is my final version (for anyone who may be interested) of the kingmaker random encounter tables (for book 1).

I added text to specify what to do for the buttons/tables etc....I hope it is clear.

I am not a programmer and full credit goes to mirtos for being an amazing help with this (I felt a little like a butcher, with my rampant cut and pasting

)

*edit* forgot to mention - the 'mountains' section is redundant, but i left it in there in case people need a point of reference or want to mess around with the code a bit more.

lol - thanks.

I've updated the changes on github (to make it easier to download if people want it)

Farnaby · August 27th, 2014, 07:25 AM

If anyone needs it, I've attached the random encounter tables from Rise of the Runelords.
