Wanted to make a separate thread for this because there is some interest about it, and I might mess around with the scoring calculation system soon.
It's separate from Talisman because it'll be improving the actual algorithms themselves, not just disabling animations like that mod does.
Very open to merging this with Steamodded when it's stable, works well, and is opt-in (so jokers/cards that don't use its system aren't incompatible)
the first thing I want to do is make this not take an eternity
1,519,507 calculations with one king held in hand
and it takes like 20 seconds
ok this is already an improvement, but not by much
since there's not many redundancies here, it's mostly the repetitions
--Testing stuff
_RELEASE_MODE = false
function live_test()
for i = 1, 25 do
add_joker("j_baron")
add_joker("j_mime")
end
end
local cj = Card.calculate_joker
function Card:calculate_joker(context, ...)
--yes I know this breaks Steamodded compat, I'll fix it later
if self.config.center and self.config.center.calculate then
return self.config.center.calculate(self, context, ...)
end
return cj(self, context, ...)
end
local iip = Game.init_item_prototypes
--set up all "vanilla" calculate contexts
function Game:init_item_prototypes(...)
iip(self, ...)
self.P_CENTERS.j_baron.calculate = function(self, context, ...)
if context.individual and context.cardarea and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card:get_id() == 13 then
if context.other_card.debuff then
return {
message = localize('k_debuffed'),
colour = G.C.RED,
card = self,
}
else
return {
x_mult = self.ability.extra,
card = self
}
end
end
end
self.P_CENTERS.j_mime.calculate = function(self, context, ...)
if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.hand and (next(context.card_effects[1]) or #context.card_effects > 1) then
return {
message = localize('k_again_ex'),
repetitions = self.ability.extra,
card = self
}
end
end
end
honestly a G.FUNCS.evaluate_play override might make sense
because you have to replace so much to stack retriggers wherever necessary
but yeah this is basically how I would try to speed things up next
that would take a large effort and isn't worth my time right now imo

math will eventually buy out all the other moDs with spectral names so he can own all the spectral nameD moDs
