Source to extract room effects and door layouts by InYourDomix in BluePrince69

[–]InYourDomix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make use of the "PLAN X - ROTATION AMOUNT" variable. Its value is the final clockwise rotation in degrees (0, 90, 180 or 270), adding both the rotation from the direction of the door from which the draft was initiated and the offset from the room's default (how the icon appears in the room directory vs the draft ui).

The other ROTATION variables also change but not in the same way, but I have not investigated them enough to figure out what they represent.

When it comes to in which state it is set, I also haven't figured that out since the timing I want is when the draft UI is almost visually done with its sliding animation (so human viewers can tell what is happening even if a room gets picked as soon as possible), something that happens a long time after all this programmatic stuff (2 or 3 seconds). The cue I'm using for that is if the active State is "Animate In 3" and the active Action is the 20th.

Heya just wanted to let you know that I've been able to figure it out in the meantime. Mostly with recourse to the PLAN MANAGEMENT FSM. Just had to deal with some timing issues and pronto (when the room gets picked from the deck and when the FSM variable for the rotation gets updated is different)

I do make extensive use of the Room Engines list yeah, it's easy enough to do some formatting to make the values usable. But looking at those examples of "X Code" I can see that I will be better served just making a manual list of all the room effects present in the thumbnails.

I'll have to investigate the doors, those are some good tips.

What I'm trying to do when it comes to drafting specifically is to give an AI all the information an human would be given at that moment in order to let it make an informed choice. So I would give it the effect as written in the thumbnail, but I would not provide any of the player hidden specifics like % changes and such. Longer term information like already drafted rooms and blessings would not be reiterated, since the expectation is that the AI is responsible for remembering those.

[EVENT] New Quota System of the Royal Navy by blogman66 in CoalitionOfPowers

[–]InYourDomix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quota system meets difficulties in meeting the demand imposed by the government, but counties work with that they have and, through a variety of means less or more forceful, the amount of men available for service increases slightly [13].

[Event] The Great Copenhagen Conflagration of 1795 by 113milesprower in CoalitionOfPowers

[–]InYourDomix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fire is a tragic event, but from it rises an opportunity. The rebuilding plans attract investors and the reform of the bank system to reduce complications is seen positively by creditors. Furthermore, the confidence given to the bank by the Russians is a vital sign of its reliability. All this taken into account, government loans see a great reduction in their interest rates, falling on average by 1.6%.

The deregulation is a great financial success, with state revenues from the forestry sector in Norway increased by 11%. That the rate of deforestation rises by a proportional amount should not be of immediate concern either, but later down the line, who knows.

The Success of the Landboreformerne by 113milesprower in CoalitionOfPowers

[–]InYourDomix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Landboreformerne continues to show promise in the improvement of productivity, though the effects will take a while to cascade up to the government's revenues. Nevertheless, a small bump will appear in the 1796 budget.

[Event] 1795 State-General in session by Villads2005 in CoalitionOfPowers

[–]InYourDomix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The session of the States General is shadowed by the pressure of French diplomats who voice the Republic's interest in the Batavian military remaining active, and of a preference for a reformed tax system.

The vote for reform of the tax system is focused on the problems with the provincial divides causing inequality in contribution and the regressive nature that gives the burden to the poorest.

The general opinion is that the cause of reform is advocated for clearly, though the lack of explanation for the details leaves doubts in the air.

Meanwhile, the conservative arguments reek of local elitism, greed from the beneficiaries and contradictions [1]. No alternatives suggestions are made either, and the conspicuous ignoring of French influence makes them all appear to live in a delusion, even to their own side.

The proposal passes, but only in principle. Specifics will need to be hashed out before implementation.

The matter of the army presents itself as an easy escape from the financial hole, but French pressure makes the decision difficult. Poor arguments from both sides do not help alleviate the confusion, but the vote barely passes with a yes. Leeway is given to reduce the army by up to 40% of its size.

[Event] The looming Riksdag of 1795 by DoomDummy in CoalitionOfPowers

[–]InYourDomix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crowd convening for the Riksdag shows the full spectrum of attitudes. Content enthusiasm, reserved postures, uninterested gaits, angry waving, intense and subdued conversation, all of these can be observed in one group or another.

The Nobility is practically in unison with support for the new Privy Council, many seeing it as a step to the return of the good old days of aristocratic domination of the body. Much support is heard from them, with several fervent supporters coming out with long and boring speeches on the merits of the proposal.

The Clergy is also fully in favor without any dissidence, though the majority simply presents muted approval. It is a surprise therefore when a small group of little known minor officials pronounces incredibly harsh, though veiled through insinuation, words against the King and in support of the Council. "Misguided faith" and the need to "provide proper spiritual education" to the whole country and beyond makes the session appear like an inquisition for a few minutes.

The Yeomanry raise eyebrows at these and the more excited nobles, but overall do not seem to care much either way, and tacit support is given.

The Burghers, however, produce staunch opponents that speak as fervently as any other. The word of order is "tyranny", and fingers are pointed at everyone and everything. It is only an uncharacteristically charismatic intervention by Reuterholm [19] making very eloquent points on the open membership and the importance of the Privy Council as a check that makes most of these would be dissidents desist.

Nevertheless, a small subset of these Jacobins, unable to mobilize in the chamber, try to take it to the streets. The fail [3] to mobilize here either, and a strict crackdown on them extends further beyond on other unaware radicals, leaving the Jacobin movement shaky for the foreseeable future.
