Blackjack Minigame

描述
What's In This Mod?
This mod will add an NPC named The Gambler to all of the base game ports as well as some (if not all) modded ports. You can talk to this NPC to initiate a game of Blackjack.

You can enable this mod at any time and do not need to start a new game. Disabling it can also be done without breaking anything.

NOTE: After installing this mod, you will have to leave and re-enter any port you may be in, in order for The Gambler to spawn. If you are starting a new game, he also won't spawn until after you've hired your first 5 crew members.


What If I Don't Know How To Play Blackjack?
The Gambler's got you covered! You can ask him in-game how to play.


The Gambler Might Not Play Fair
There are a couple of ways that The Gambler makes Blackjack harder or easier on you. They are described a bit below in spoiler tags.

The Gambler cheats against you or helps you win: The Combat Difficulty you are playing on as well as the Support Abilities you have equipped will either make Blackjack harder or easier. Lower difficulty = more helpful. Higher difficulty = cheats more. The game files have a list of Support Abilities and what they do if you look into them, but generally abilities that "help others" are good, and ones that "hurt others" are bad.

You can know the cards: If you happen to have a certain item or ability known for giving you extra information about enemies, you can use that to spy on the deck of cards. This can give you information which could skew things in your favor.


Are You a Modder?
I've included instructions and examples for adding Blackjack to your own future ports. Once downloaded, check out the _ADDING THE GAMBLER TO YOUR MOD.txt file for details.


Special Thanks
- Eldiran, for this great game and answering every dumb question I had making this mod.
- Prominence, Mafe, Paul, and every other modder who keeps this great game alive.

You can use a Magnifying Glass, Crystal Goggles, the Elementary passive, or the Ability Scanner passive to spy on cards.

@Furdabip in regards to 'You can know the cards:"

I've unlocked the detect hidden passive that allows ALT to 'Highlight All'... It doesn't seem to be working on showing the next card on the deck. Is there a specific skill for this?

Otherwise... Loving the mod! Great for a quick break to make extra money on hardest setting!

I hope your blackjack mod game gets featured in Horizon's Gate 2 by Eldiran Radcodex!

I hope you add a quality of feature where you can enable or disable vanilla and modded support passive abilities that affect the odds of cards and only vanilla difficulty cheat or helpful modifiers only on winning blackjack will be the one that is allowed no vanilla and modded passive class abilities that increase or decrease the chance of winning blackjack for those who have modded classes in their mods!

That is all and thank you for this mod!
It adds life to the game.

Ahhh, my bad, I didn’t know that at all. Thank you so much for your reply!!

The ace counts as 11 or 1 depending on if it being an 11 would bust the player. That's how it is in the official rules for Blackjack. When it is drawn doesn't matter.

Hello
Thank you for this great mod ! I love it.
By the way, I think there’s a small issue with the Ace.
Its value is 1 or 11, which is normal so far.

When the Ace is drawn, it is valued at 11 unless this would cause the total to exceed 21, in which case it is valued at 1.

However, if I draw the Ace first, it is valued at 11, and then I draw, for example, an 8, my total is 19. But if the 3rd card I draw is, say, a 3, my total doesn’t become 22 (11+8+3); instead, it becomes 12 (1+8+3), which doesn’t seem normal.

It makes sense for the Ace to be valued at 1 or 11 at the moment it is drawn, but once its value is determined, it shouldn’t change based on the cards drawn afterward.

I was expecting jusy a small, poorly made mini-game, as is often the case with poker, blackjack and other similar mods, but this mod is really well made, fits the game and the cheating system adds a whole new depth to the blackjack. I throught i would just install the mod for fun, play a few games and forget, but now, when i have my first special reward for 10.000 winpool, I am going to track down and completely milk The Gambler.

@Welk

The passives affecting The Gambler's cheating/helping stats idea was added as sort-of easter egg that was originally only going to be a couple of relevant passives. The idea blew up to include a lot of vanilla passives and then modded passives for completeness, with what stat gets affected ultimately becoming arbitrary at times. It was never intended as an integral part of the Blackjack minigame. Because of this, I don't consider it essential to add support for other modded passives whenever I update Blackjack, but I do look at what new mods have come out since I last updated and try to add them if it seems like they would be relevant. I forgot Mafe added a new vanilla passives mod when I last updated Blackjack, so didn't add support for them.

So, I will probably add support for them whenever I get around to updating Blackjack in the future.

Good day!

If you have freetime again can you atleast integrate more passive abilities in vanilla classes mod by Mafe in your blackjack mod if you ask His/Her permission?

This mod makes vanilla classes like scholar and scout an endgame powerhouse.
That is all.

Sorry if i become pushy and demanding.
