MoreIotas Mod FAQ

MoreIotas works as an expansion to Hex Casting, so you'll need that mod installed first. Once loaded, you can begin casting spells that produce and manipulate the new iota types—Strings and Matrices—using the standard Hex Casting spell system. Check the mod's pattern reference to see which new hexes are available.

Use the appropriate hex pattern while looking at or targeting a sign; the sign's text will be converted into a String iota that you can then manipulate, split, or combine with other strings in your spellcasting.

Yes, MoreIotas includes functionality to capture text from chat and convert it into String iotas, allowing you to work with player messages or system output within your hexes.

You can perform standard linear algebra operations including addition, multiplication, transpose, and inverse, as well as concatenate matrices horizontally or vertically. These operations follow expected mathematical behavior and let you build complex calculations into your spells.

Use the matrix construction hexes to assemble matrices from mixed data types—numbers, vectors, lists of numbers, lists of vectors, or nested lists of numbers—depending on the structure you need.

MoreIotas provides actions to quickly generate identity matrices, zero matrices, rotation matrices, and other common types, saving you from manually constructing them each time.

Yes, you can compare strings for equality or other conditions, and you can parse strings into numbers for use in calculations—useful for converting chat input or sign text into usable numeric values.

Decorative iotas serve visual and organizational purposes within your spellcasting, allowing you to create more polished or thematic magical effects without adding functional complexity.

MoreIotas is designed as a lightweight expansion and should not cause significant performance issues; however, complex matrix operations or heavy string manipulation in large-scale spells may have minor impact depending on your system.

MoreIotas is built as an expansion for Hex Casting and should be compatible with most other Hex Casting add-ons, though specific interactions depend on what those add-ons do—check mod compatibility lists if you encounter issues.
