Joker - Jokes, Rolls, Ready Checks, Riddles and More!

Version: 4.3.02

by: Lent [More]

Best enjoyed with Skooma, Joker offers a growing collection of 3100+ various jokes, riddles, fun utilities (like rolls, custom ready checks, etc) & other amusing pop-culture references - all readily available ingame for your leisurely chatting pleasure!

Most Recent Update - v4.3.2: Tested and confirmed working with Greymoor; incremented ESO versioning to reflect (removes 'Out of Date' warning).

Latest Notable Update - v4.2.0 - Curses!: Resolved issue with occasional crashes when joke searches return empty, and removed some jokes that were too long for ESO chatbox. New "Creative Curses" added! Exasperated? Throw out a good-natured '/curse' (or '/curse Mark' because Mark deserves it!). Curses are meant to be more amusing than insulting, and are SFW - all curses are pulled from Elder Scrolls, Star Wars & Trek, LotR, other nerdy series, and vintage pop culture.

See the changelog or Github for more details on recent changes

- /twister: Get a random tongue twister! Can you say it 3 times fast? Added v2.0.3
- /curse: Exasperated? Throw out a /curse (or '/curse Mark' because Mark deserves it!). Curses are meant to be more amusing than anything, and are SFW - all curses are pulled from Elder Scrolls, Star Wars & Trek, LotR, other nerdy series, and vintage pop culture. Added v4.2.0

Plus, some other fun and/or helpful commands:
- /rl: It's /reloadui - but shorter. Cute! Added v2.0.0
- /roll: RNG dice roll. By default, rolls a die between 1 and 10 (everything including and between 1 and 10 is possible). Include a number to roll a die with that many sides (e.g. /roll 20 would roll a d20). You may optionally also include a prize/memo (supports item links) - which will also post the roll in chat for you (e.g. '/roll 20 Big Loot Item!'). This is useful for remembering the reason for a roll when doing many rolls. Added v2.3.0
- /choose: Similar to /roll, chooses randomly among given options (separated by space). You may instead use "/choose party" to randomly choose a winner from your party (up to 24 members) - with the option to assign a prize (only supports item links). Added v2.4.0

... and more fun stuff coming soon (see Update Roadmap for some sneak-peeks)!

- Cleaned up localization a bit

Version v4.2.1
- Resolved possible crash when Joker returned an empty search result but still attempted to log the (nonexistent joke + parent category) as being seen. Oopsy.
- Removed several (5-10) jokes/cat facts that were too long for ESO's chatbox limit (350 chars).

Version v4.2.0 New Additions
- New "Creative Curses" added! Exasperated? Throw out a /curse (or '/curse Mark' because Mark deserves it!). Curses are meant to be more amusing than anything, and are SFW - all curses are pulled from Elder Scrolls, Star Wars & Trek, LotR, other nerdy series, and vintage pop culture.
- New runtime_updates() performs housekeeping when an update to Joker would benefit from additions to savedVars that a user might already have modified from defaults

Version v4.1.3

- Joker has traditionally tracked jokes you have seen so as to avoid showing you the same joke(s) too frequently. This functionality has been intentionally disabled in this update, and will be added back in a future update.
- Simplified /roll: Now specify a ceiling (e.g. /roll 20 will roll a 20-sided die). Optionally add a memo (e.g. /roll 20 Big Loot Item will roll the 20-sided die and post to chat with the memo "Big Loot Item" so it's easy to remember what the roll was for). Note: There is no longer a way to specify a floor for the roll.

It would be really nice to have the option of only seeing that info in a system message, like it was in the older version. (And being able to toggle it back to it posting in the text frame when needed.)

Thank you again for the addon.

No problem

Next update (4.3.0) will include a new option in Joker settings that will allow you to toggle on/off whether you want /roll results to go to your chatbox so that you can share the results with your group, guild, etc. Moving forward, /rolls will always post to your console (system messages), with chatbox being optional.

As far as the channel - it should be posting to your chatbox with whatever tab and channel you last used. You can always change the channel yourself (either before the roll, or by copy/pasting the results after changing) - but I don't want to force something like /zone or party, etc by default because different people will have different needs/uses, and I believe most users that want to post a roll result in X channel were probably already talking in that channel. I'm open to adding an additional option in settings for Joker to always post roll results to a certain channel, but I'm not sure how practically useful that would actually be.

I'm finishing up testing on 4.3.0 right now, will have it uploaded for approval in the next few mins (so you should see it appearing on Minion within the next hour or two).

Oh, no no. I don't mind Joker not forcing a channel change for rolls. That's totally okay. I was just saying that if I hadn't yet typed in a channel and needed the roll to go to that channel, I would often forget to first input the needed channel. If that makes sense. lol. (I'd get flustered and just post it in whatever channel I spoke in last, because that's what it defaulted to and I can be impatient, or I'd have to sit there and hold down the "Backspace" key to delete the text, and then change the channel, then /roll again! rofl)
If Joker forced a specific channel for rolls, that would probably cause a whole new thing of issues for me. LOL.
Fantastic! The other stuff you changed sounds perfect. Thank you so much!

Second, some jokes are too long and therefore are not completely inserted into the chatbox. (the chatbox is limited to 350 symbols)

Code:

A group of three Nords are exploring Valenwood when they are captured by some Bosmer. 
They are brought before the King, who tells them they are to be cooked and eaten for an upcoming feast.
The men are tied up and lowered into a giant pot of water.
Two of the Nords start screaming and shouting, but the third starts laughing hysterically.
His friend

Thanks so much for taking the time to report; the latter is a known issue. Since we (addon authors) are only allowed to insert something into your chatbox but not actually send on your behalf, there's no simple/100% reliable way for me to handle jokes beyond 350 chars. Even things like tracking that you sent the first half of the message, etc aren't reliable (and can be performance-intensive). That said, I thought I had pruned anything over that length - I've removed that joke in 4.2.1, as well as several others that slipped past my length-checking scripts.

On the first item - found that myself a few hours ago; the issue stemmed from me checking for the existence of search results but then not checking for existence of results before attempting to log a joke as being seen (so it was trying to log a joke that didn't exist as being seen, inside of a category that didn't exist).

Both issues you've reported are fixed in update 4.2.1, which should be available for you to update to as soon as ESOUI staff approve it (they might be asleep right now). Thanks so much for reporting, and please let me know if you run into any further issues (or if you have anything you'd like to see added).

Second, some jokes are too long and therefore are not completely inserted into the chatbox. (the chatbox is limited to 350 symbols)

Code:

A group of three Nords are exploring Valenwood when they are captured by some Bosmer. 
They are brought before the King, who tells them they are to be cooked and eaten for an upcoming feast.
The men are tied up and lowered into a giant pot of water.
Two of the Nords start screaming and shouting, but the third starts laughing hysterically.
His friend

I'm now back and expect to be reasonably active in ESO atleast for the near future. If not, this update represents a full refactor of Joker from the ground up, and is now in a stable enough state that I expect it could be considered in a 'finished' state and should work without issues indefinitely. THis update also includes new functionality (notably, typing '/joke argonian' will search for and show a random joke related to argonians) - as well as having a more intuitive Settings panel. The foundational changes I've made will also make adding new content and features in the future super simple (and I do have several plans for new content and features that will be rolled out over the next month or so). Again, sorry for the delay - happy Thanksgiving to anyone celebrating

Oof, thanks for recording and including that - working on a release now that should fix that issue. If it's constantly reoccurring for you, would just disable Joker until v4.0.0 launches (next couple of days).

Got the error after using /reloadui.
Sorry, I meant to copy it so I could paste the error here, but I forgot and dismissed it.

It automatically put a joke in my chat and I accidentally press enter! lol! I'm so used to pressing Enter to gain control of my cursor, instead of using the other keybind. Hah. Oops.

Thank you - she's healthy and super, super cute (my 2nd)!

Interesting on the char login - it shouldn't matter which char you log into, as Joker (is supposed to) stores vars account-wide (things like tracking your settings, what jokes you've already seen so we don't show duplicates, etc).

The joke in chat thing is a little weird, but I think I know why it's doing that - Joker occasionally tries to show you a joke, so it's possible it pulled the joke then incorrectly sent it to chatbox instead of logging in your window.

This is all useful info, thank you - if you run into more issues, please let me know - it's all stuff I'm using/considering while building out 4.0.0. The hope with 4.0 is to be able to more easily prevent *any* major bugs like this in the future (though I think the ones you're encountering are because I rushed my last release as mentioned previously), and to create an architecture that allows for really deep customization by users.

If wiping savedVars for Joker doesn't work, then disable the addon for now until version 4.0.0 launches (will be out by the end of the weekend and includes some pretty major additions & changes).

It was a character I hadn't logged in to since I deleted the old saved variables. If that helps at all.
My fiancee had an error pop up for her a few days ago upon logging in, and a joke was in her chat's text field. Like Joker was trying to put a joke into chat. It was very odd. lol
