[MOD] BG:EE Chargen Abilities Screen - show stored values and simple auto roller.

edited April 2016 in UI Modding
After reading the UI examples in the sticky thread, I decided I'd take a stab at changing something that I've always wanted to change in the character generation screen: Being able to see my stored roll without having to actually use the recall button (thus losing my current roll).

Based on the autoroller UI mod examples from @Freche and @Dee, I made some further changes to incorporate both features (stored roll display and auto roller). It's not beautified or anything, but it gets the job done.

Once you click the autoroll button, it will continue to roll until the button is clicked again. It will store any total roll that is higher than the previously stored roll. Additionally, if it rolls the same number as the previously stored roll, but the exceptional strength roll is higher, it will store the total roll (for races/classes that have exceptional strength). End result: leave it running and you will have the maximum roll the game would let you have. =D

If you simply want only the auto roller and the stored value display and don't use any other UI mods, then you can just unzip the attached file into your override directory and be on your way.

If instead you would like to manually add the changes:

Due to the limited data available to the LUA code, I had to do some creative string interpretations, hence the multiple changes to existing code. Sorry!

All of these changes need to be made in UI.menu.

In menu 'CHARGEN_RACE', add the following to the end of the DONE_BUTTON action (before the end double quote):
; chargen.selectedRace = chargen.races[ currentChargenRace ].id

In menu 'CHARGEN_CLASS', add the following to the end of the DONE_BUTTON action (before the end double quote):
chargen.selectedClass = chargen.class[ currentChargenClass ].id

And finally, replace the all of the menu 'CHARGEN_ABILITIES' code with the following:
BG:EE no SoD:

Feel free to take it and do as you will with it, and I hope it helps someone else.

Updates:
v0006 - Updated for SoD 2.1.63.2 UI changes.
v0005 - Fixed autoroller script I broke while tinkering. Lowered rerolls to about 15000 per second, was causing music/interactivity loss at higher rate.
v0004 - autoroller now rolls about 150000 rolls per second.

    This is for 2.0 without SoD correct? If so, it works really well. Although I have SoD installed (and ended up with a blended interface between 2.0 and SoD) it still worked fine.

    My only comment would be a more general one - doesn't constant screen updating mean that the rolling process is slower?
  • FaydarkFaydark Member Posts: 279

    Yes, it's for 2.0 and I don't have SoD installed (yet). I'll look at getting it installed tomorrow and doing a SoD version. Sorry!

    The rolling process could be made a lot faster by removing the "animation" system and just going with a fast loop that you have to break somehow (perhaps keypress?) but it will "soft lock" BGEE while it's running and following on from @Freche original idea, I decided to stick with the animated version to keep the UI responsive and the autoroller easy to control.

    No worries. It still worked - it just looked strange:



    For my own roller I used the faster one from @Freche but added a count function to limit the number of rolls to 100,000 (which takes about 40seconds).

    Updated original post with SoD version. I probably won't do any further work on the non-SoD version, I don't really have time to be installing/uninstalling the DLC every time it needs changes etc.
  • GrimLefourbeGrimLefourbe Member Posts: 637
    Since the game is no-DRM and all in one folder, you can have 2 installations of the game simultaneously just by having 2 folders, one with the extension and one without.
  • FaydarkFaydark Member Posts: 279
    I'm using the Steam version, so it doesn't quite work like that. And frankly, now that I have SoD I'm really unlikely to un-install it and play vanilla BGEE ever again, so I'm not that keen on doing a BGEE-non-SoD version as patches progress. The LUA is all there in the original post, so someone else is free to develop that version if they want it. =D

    I'm at work atm, but tonight I'll modify the original post with a version that does ~150000 rolls per second. It didn't really speed things up to be honest, still took a while to get a 99 roll for my FMT test case, but getting to 92+ was pretty quick.

    How does it deal with percentile strength?
  • So_LoWSo_LoW Member Posts: 62
    If you are using steam version you can rename sod-dlc.zip to something else. It will disable it so it would be like using vanilla BGEE. :)

    My human guy pulled 18s with no percentiles. And increasing from 17 to 18 also showed no percentiles. Maybe I'm missing something.
  • FaydarkFaydark Member Posts: 279
    The only stat data LUA has access to is the strings displayed on the UI, so I use some string manipulation routines to extract the percentile from the STR string (when the percentile is displayed). Additionally, when the auto-roller is active, it automatically deducts points from non-str stats and adds them to STR until it hits 18 STR so that the percentile is displayed. Search for "exceptional" in UI.menu if you want to look at the code.

    @smeagolheart Can you describe how you're using it and I can see if I can repro it here and fix the bug(s) if there are any. Video would be great if the steps are complex.
  • RuneksRuneks Member Posts: 21
    I can't seem to get it to work :( When I press autoroll it seems to roll once and then nothing more happens, no matter how long I wait?
  • ThelsThels Member Posts: 1,454
    @Faydark: How does it prioritize percentile strength? A 95/100 roll can most definitely be better than a 96/01 roll.

    That's only helpful if you don't install any mods. If you want to install any mods, you first need to run modmerge, which extracts the zip and merges it with the base game.

    @Runeks Same problem here actually, wondering if I missed something in how to mod UI?

    I believe modmerge creates folder which contains extracted files from zip, so if you move it and restore original chitin.key you still get vanilla BGEE (minus dialog I think, although Im not sure coz I dont have BGEE on my PC right now)

    @Thels ah right, got you. For the moment, it doesn't prioritise exceptional strength roll over highest total roll at all. If you get a higher total roll, it will store that. I can look into adding some sort of priority system, but when I play I generally aim for 18/anything and the highest roll I can get, because I plan around adding the stat bonuses from the books etc and I'll be at 19 str before the end of BG:EE.

    @Runeks, @GrimLefourbe Oops, looks like I broke something while playing around before uploading. I'll fix is asap.

    The autoroll button doesn't directly call the autoroll function, it sets that rolling var to 1 and then the autorolling function that is updated in the background for animation purposes checks that var every frame and rolls again if it's set to 1.
  • GrimLefourbeGrimLefourbe Member Posts: 637
    I looked around a bit and I didn't understand how the Update function works either though I understood that it seems to be periodically called, I noticed an actionUpdate function in the Chargen_abilities, how does that work? I looked around quickly in Dee's post and didn't find much.
  • FaydarkFaydark Member Posts: 279
    Apologies all, after I had version 0004 working on my PC, I "tidied up" the script and broke it horribly. I've just uploaded version 0005 with the fixes and it's working great now. I did a couple of tests and was able to hit 99 total roll in a few seconds, still haven't broken that magic 100 barrier yet, but one day !! =D

    @GrimLefourbe in version 0005, look at the call to UpdateAutoRoll( ). That call is attached to a dummy "invisible" button. The "mosaic" keyword means "run whatever is attached here periodically", and some clever people in the original UI mod thread figured that out and @Freche used it to write his autoroller script.
  • GrimLefourbeGrimLefourbe Member Posts: 637
    Oh I see, thanks, I was wondering what that mosaic button was too.

    Just to confirm, it works much better with the fix on my end :smile:

    In case you are interested, I tried your autoroller on a cavalier only and the strength is a guaranteed 18 everytime
  • Mr2150Mr2150 Member Posts: 1,170
    Isn't that to force the calculation of exceptional strength?

    Maybe, If that is the case they are using the wrong variable because you get nothing but 18/% for strength

    It forces the 18 by reducing other stats accordingly. So the total hasn't changed - it's just forced to 18. If you don't like the guaranteed 18/xx then you can always reduce it after it has rolled the total you want.
