Custom Calendar - help with lunardaycalc

Here is an update.

Note to self: use google to search FG, not FG to search FG. :-)

Yea, the forum search is... well, the forum search. If you use the Site Search from the top menu, it's a custom Google search and is much better than the forum search.

This is a super, super noob question: Is there a well-maintained list of Extensions / Modules somewhere? Seems like there's a lot of really awesome content lurking as forum attachments that lots of people may not know exists.

Yes, but probably not perfectly maintained.
Start with the CoreRPG list of extensions. Since most rulesets are children of CoreRPG, these extensions work for most rulesets.

Then most ruleset specific forums (like 5E has this one) have a sticky thread with resources or extensions that only work in that ruleset.

Hmm. Seems like a problem sort of begging for a solution?

I am very new to this community, so this may be the ultimate in hubris to even suggest, but if there were a web-based repo where you could upload community extension/modules and it'd parse their metadata and make them available for search/download, would that be useful? Ultimately, I suppose you could also leverage that to end up with an app that'd handle selecting, installing, and updating extensions/mods, also. But at least making it easy to find the stuff people have worked hard to create?

Or maybe it's totally fine as is. Just seems non-intuitive to a newb, but I should probably also lurk more.

No, not hubris. And this has been discussed before.

I can't say I am or was completely involved in the discussion or aware of the pros and cons, but I can say one concern is security. Such a repository would have to be a trusted source. And who would manage that? That would be a lot of liability for SmiteWorks to take on. And of course doing so through the community raises questions too.

But, that's not to say it's impossible. I will say such a discussion would probably be best in a new thread since as you can imagine, it might go on for awhile

Hello all! I decided to join this thread rather than start a new one since my issue is exactly the same as OP's. I made a calendar like follows (no leap years) but can't get the weekdays to line up from month to month (it always wants to start on Sunday). Here's the bit I wrote copying the gregorian style calendar (I left in the lunardaycalc type and periodvarcalc type for this post even though it's wrong since I know that's where I'll reference the extension):

Any help with creating the requisite extension would be greatly appreciated!

In case it isn't clear, there are 6 weekdays, 6 months, 4 months have 60 days but 2 months have 56 days (the second and fifth months), and the year has 352 days in it total.

[Andraax]

Well, you're telling it to use Gregorian calendar calculations with a non-Gregorian calendar. You'll need to write your own "lunardaycalc" and "periodvarcalc" functions and register them via an extension.

[Chicken Denchers]

Yes, that's the bit I'm asking for help with. I noted in the post that I knew that part was incorrect but left it in since I know that's where the extension reference will go.

[Chicken Denchers]

Here's what I have so far from the copied "collapse calendar" lua file at the beginning of this thread, but I'm both not a programmer and not a math guy (also I don't know lua) so I don't know where to go from the few things I've edited here:

function onInit()
	CalendarManager.registerLunarDayHandler("fjellvale", calcFjellvaleLunarDay);
	CalendarManager.registerMonthVarHandler("collapse", calcFjellvaleMonthVar);
end

function calcFjellvaleLunarDay(nYear, nMonth, nDay)
	local nZYear = nYear - 1;
	local nZYearDays = nZYear * 352 + math.floor(nZYear / 4);
	local rDay = nDay + (nMonth-1)*30;
	if nMonth > 4 then
		rDay = rDay - 29;
	end
	if nMonth > 8 then
		rDay = rDay - 27;
		if (nYear % 4) == 0 then
			rDay = rDay + 1;
		end
	end
	rDay = (nZYearDays + rDay) % 7;
	if rDay == 0 then
		return 7;
	end
	return rDay;
end

function calcFjellvaleMonthVar(nYear, nMonth)
	if nMonth == 8 then
		local nYear = DB.getValue("calendar.current.year", 0);
		if (nYear % 4) == 0 then
			return 1;
		end
	end

	return 0;
end
