What chance for Random events?

[The Yogi]

Since the persistent events do not work, I thought it might be possible to use Random events instead. I'm talking about "Random = yes" events here, not those with "Random =x" triggers. Random events are not supposed to be logged in the event history either, so they could be used for repeating events.

What would be needed is a way of setting the chance for the random event to happen. Ideally, a 100% chance "random" event could perfectly simulate a recurring, persistent event. It will fire every time its trigger conditions are met.

Could the offset be used, perhaps?

I dunno

Nothing I tried could consistently get an event to occur over and over, so I just made use of a couple powerful text manipulation programs (vi, cat, grep, etc) and hacked together two years worth of weekly events in about 20 minutes.

You just have to approach it logically: lay out the days first, then make 12 copies and change the months; then join them; then change the year. The worst part was giving each sequential event numbers, but once you've got one year done, you can just change the first number or second number of the event; ie 50xx for 1936; 51xx for 1937; etc.

It's tedious, but it works.

OK, will have to do that. Blaah, why couldn't the stupid persistent function just work?
