pingu2k4 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hey! Im currently working on a ports calculator, to tell you what the optimal setup of ship upgrades / crew members would be for specific targets. So far I have it working for all ship upgrades and captains, and I will begin working on crew members in about 10 hours time... heres a screenshot of it in actionso far (BTW its a javascript file, so displays on a webpage for easy access by anyone): I will be prettying it up a little once its done of course... And also adding an option for which upgrade of your shipyard you have to determin the ship stats bonus which currently is not calculated. BTW, it displays there Entwined Rigging instead of Oxskin Rigging because Morale is the lowest stat, and increasing from entwined to oxskin didnt raise the success rate, just kept it the same. This is something I will be changing before I release it also. My question is... What do you think could be added? One thing I will be adding is if the success rate is > 100%, it will select the success rate with the lowest % above 100% to save more valuable crew members for your next ship to be sent out. Though I'm not too sure how to go about this just yet, as it is far more complex than it sounds. Also, if Anyone has any suggestions for how to "save" information you enter into the boxes for future use, I'm all ears. I have glanced at the use of cookies and it didnt look too friendly to me.... :( im a penguin ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Lioness Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Perhaps multiple shipments? Calc from a range of voyages the highest 2 percentages? Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?~ Marianne Williamson For account help/issues, please follow this link: Account Help.

pingu2k4 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 I spent about 10 hours last night and so far about 5 hours tonight creating a calc for POP's. Its now good enough to share with people, so here it is: http://webhostlet.com/POP.htm Its a bit rough around the edges right now... but all the calculations should work just fine. Theres still plenty more I want to do to it before I call it finished..... however I thought I would release it for those who want to use it for the time being. In case you hadnt worked it out, M: is morale, C: is combat and S: is seafaring. A: is active. (deselect characters which have already been sent out on another ship and are not available for the current voyage for example). Simply give the calculator your morale, combat and seafaring targets, and tell it which ship upgrades you have along with your crew stats. Hit submit, and select those attributes coloured in green. That will be the highest possible percentage of surviving you will be able to get (assuming my logic is working all fine and I havent made any mistakes, which I dont think I have but fingers crossed... the code is pretty complex to look over...) I plan on adding the ability to tell the calc which shipyard upgrade you have for ship bonuses to stats, and also if the mission is easy, I want to have the option to show you the setup using the lowest possible combination of crew members (sending out your worst ones) whilst still keeping the success chance at 100%. This is useful if you want to keep your key crew members for another voyage you will send out after this one and not waste them. I need to change the output text to look a lot prettier and more informative, like rounding the percentage chance of survival ETC. Lots more planned, but its there as of now for use. :) What you think? 1 im a penguin ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
