I'm thinking of adding more weather stuff. What's the latest good version now, since the latest is apparently #47? Is it still #19?

As far as I know, yes, 19. We can always merge changes if there's a skip because someone's added something at the same time.

Hm, I had a lot less ideas than I thought I had/more were covered than I thought.

Oh well, regardless, here: http://jsbin.com/idifof/48/edit

Minor change to existing code - Names were still returning 'undefined' occasionally. Turns out the random number generator sucks and returns a number from 0 to the max number. This sucks because the thing was apparently always intended for use with arrays, yet will always return a range 1 greater than that of the array.

Right now I'm getting around this by simply changing the input to '<array>.length -1', which means it should now return with a number that won't break everything. Later I'll see if I can find my old random number-generating code, which had both min and max inputs so you knew exactly what your output range was.

Here's some effects from the code you guys have been making:

So... any ideas what to do with the code I made? It should be working already if not for these bullshit bugs with array indexes, and I rewrote everything like 3 times but I just don't have the experience with these messy arrays needed to have a chance at fixing this and spent way, way to long on it already. If we get it working it'd dramatically improve just about everything, allowing for all sorts of cool tricks of recursion and for new categories with tags and everything to be added as easily as an extra string is now...

The version in the spoiler appears to work like you wanted. (Of course, it's still missing most of the results to make testing easier, which is why it's spoiled: so nobody uses it as the latest.)

OMG yessss, awesome! It's *perfect*. Any idea why my nearly identical method didn't work.

Porting content now...

EDIT: "your mother get stricken with amnesia, and then you turn into a horse until you learn the value of friendship."

EDIT2: ok, I've spent WAAAAY to long on this, but I've gotten a lot done. I've entered everything up to and am next going to start on the Single Body Parts. Here's the file, again, very much in progress, but should give a good idea what I'm going for. Also, I'm skiping over the weather for now, since it's probably easier to just do over from the begining.

DUMP.

Starting to work on this again, but it'd be nice to know what someone else thing about it. I've probably put more effort into this then the original creator by now.

Ok, now it should actually be finished and done, but there are more incomprehensible errors, link: http://jsbin.com/idifof/69/edit#source

I wonder if it's possible to write an SCP file about something that causes these effects to happen.
