Skat [Fully Scripted] English & Deutsch with Deck Chooser!

Description
Skat is a 3-player trick-based card game; it is the national card game of Germany and renowned as the best 3-player card game.

This mod was initially based on the excellent work of Magical Grill:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1128338704

The internationalization scripting, German Translation, and Tournament deck were provided by Nor Dogroth! https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/profiles/76561198253258112

Features:

- Play fully automated - just drag the card you want to play to the middle of the table
- Scoring fully automated with info printed out

- Bidding phase is implemented using an onscreen interface with buttons
- Declarer uses an onscreen interface to take the skat or play hand and declare the game

- Defaults to English but one-click change to German language
- Use Standard, German, Tournament (all included) or custom decks with easy buttons to choose between them

- Full rule book in-game

- Full save and load support - save at any time and it should load right back where you were

- Clearly denoted dealer and traditional dealing pattern; dealer rotates each round
- Hands automatically sorted after dealing and multiple hand sorting options available
- Arrow automatically points to the leader of the next trick
- Matadors and game value automatically calculated based on what's in your hand+skat
- Manual fallback game value display button and manual fallback card points counter
- 4 player mode available (rotating dedicated dealer)


I actually update the Steam changelog so look there for anything that may have changed!

Known Issues:
- Start Next Game button may become only clickable by the host - let me know if you encounter this

TODOs:
- Little hints - what is trump, contents of the last trick
- Open to suggestions!

Hi All,

I am just now seeing the messages from the last couple months. I will take a look and see what needs to be done when I have a minute.

When i try to start a new game i get this following error message:

Error in Script (Global) function <newGameClicked>: chunk_4:(1017,4-57): attempt to index a nil value

Does someone know what this means or how to fix this?

Hey pavlvs, could you fix the pastbin links? They have changed their url form:

→ "… if you ever encounter an error with links like http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i= in Tabletop Simulator, replace that string with https://pastebin.com/raw/"

Sehr cooles Skatspiel! Wir haben viel Spaß damit :) Was noch cool wäre, wäre ein Knopf um ein Spiel vorzeitig zu beenden, quasi zu schenken. A la "Ich mach den Rest!" "Ich mach keinen!" (Bei Null) mit einer Umfrage ob geschenkt wird oder nicht.

Nachtrag: Ich sehe gerade, dass du Deutsch sprichst. Eigentlich nicht weiter verwunderlich bei Skat. xD
Meine vorige Nachricht gilt trotzdem.

Hi there @pavlvs,

first of all I wanted to thank you for the great script! We're playing regularly every week and it's just great to be doing it in such a convenient way.

Here's 2 wish-requests which we developed during our playing experience:
1. Would you mind implementing an option to deactivate the automatic score counters again? We have tried deleting the little counters from the table but that renders errors. We are more on the casual side of players which means seeing negative numbers is sometimes quite demoralizing. Being able to simply deactivate any score recording would be a great feature.
2. Are you planning on implementing the "RAMSCH" type of game at any point? I know this is not an "official" type used in tournament Skat but it's incredibly fun. My suggestion would be a button to enable the option and then if everybody passes and noone bids a Ramsch would be initiated.

That's all, thanks again for the awesome work! :steamhappy:

Just an update if you're still watching this - the latest update, v2.3.2, has resolved the issue with the Skat/Hand buttons at 4:3 resolutions. Plenty more new features between then and now as well!

Thanks for the confirmation!

Hi pavlvs,

thank you for your response. I can confirm that switching the resolution fixed the issue.
Now everything runs perfectly fine :)

Best regards

Hi Opfersohn,

I have done some testing and found that the on-screen UI buttons do not scale well to 4:3 resolutions such as 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024. I'm guessing that is causing the issue for your friend.
I would recommend having them try a different resolution (or use windowed mode where you can freely resize the window) as a quick workaround until I can tweak the UI values (which is not fun) to make those buttons scale better.

Thanks again for the bug report! I really appreciate having help finding issues.
