REELism port to zan 2.0

[TerminusEst13]

Few dudes from /vr/ and I decided to give this a shot, it was pretty fun. Since you've boosted performance, we'll have to give it another go, pretty eager to see what it'll be like now.

An awesome single player wad ported to Zandronum and works online?

*Ellis* Now we're cooking with gas.

Repetitive Reel Syndrome?

[HexaDoken]

Ahahahahaha so much fun I like the fact that nobody noticed that the timer is borked
Also, random trivia: nobody has yet finished the internet machine with a non-negative score. NOBODY

i hate every single one of you
Seriously though, what Jes calls Repetitive Reel Syndrome seems to be a Zandronum RNG thing. I have really no idea what to do about it other than submitting a report on tracker(I really should).

Dogs being unkillable by giant blue pinky thingamajob is original REELism behaviour.

Do what I did for hangman; read a certain CVar, run random() that many times (delaying as necessary), then save the random number between 0 and 0x7FFFFFFF in that same CVar.

hwoops, I thought it wasn't. My bad.

It still feels a little bit wonky - for example the first round almost invariably has 4, 15 or 2. But at least it's not 100% same.

Want a simpler solution? warning : not actual code just psuedo
X = 0 // This is the first value of X only used on first iteration

-----
Y = Random()
While (Y==x) Y = Random()
Do the stuff reelism chooses rounds with using Y
x= Y
go back to ------ for next round

Edit : you can have multiple variables like x -use or between them- to ensure a round doesn't come back for longer.

This has nothing to do with the first random generated its nearly always luck.. you can skip the first generated number if it'll help.

[HexaDoken]

It won't help.

The only thing it will ensure is that the next round will always have different reels from the previous round(so there won't be occassions where people like Term get the Jerk 4 rounds in a row lol). It will not help the fact that after you reset the map the sequence of the reels becomes exactly same as it was on the previous map.

So maybe make it use player 1's coordinates during the counting? That way, it would be fairly random, + there is very, very, VERY tiny chance that this exact player will stand in this exact spot during the whole wave.

Seems more like the engine uses the same seed for the previous map instead of making a fresh one. Am not sure you might want to ask it on tracker.

[Torr Samaho]

I'm pretty sure that the lack of randomness is caused by this.
