Weapon Comparison Tool

[Poobah]

I just grabbed version 1.11 and I get an error message when running it. Does it need to be unzipped to a specific location?

I am getting same error...

[jjflanigan]

Sorry about that -- I somehow mixed up the zip file and had an old version of the xml data file in there. I've corrected it on the server now and it should be working using the link from the first post.

*EDIT*

Please note that I had to adjust the name of the file, my webserver is doing something very stupid with caching the file for some reason.

Works great now. Thanks.

More than 2 weapons (4 at most, 3 prolly sufficient) would be handy, also an option for MOB DR on the main form would be VERY useful, as that makes a big impact.

Oh, on WPN 2, a "copy WPN 1" button would speed things up some in many comparisons.

[Atisha]

ooooooh, gotcha. Sorry, like I said, I don't have any of the "special" named items like that. But yes, weapons are just as easy to add as effects so I'll look up the stats for them when I'm able to get to a site that has them listed and add them in. The weaponData.xml is set up to be able to easily add new weapons

<weapon>
<name>Maul</name>
<numDice>1</numDice>
<sizeDice>10</sizeDice>
<critChance>1</critChance>
<critMultiplier>2</critMultiplier>
<classification>Two Handed</classification>
</weapon>

Is the format in the file. The fields are fairly self-explanatory with the possible exception of crit chance. critChance is the number of numbers on the 20 sided die that will result in a crit (i.e. 20 is 1, 19 -20 is 2, etc).

Just noticed the critMultiplier in your Maul example. That'll need changing when Module 4 is released per this thread.

"NEW – All existing Mauls and all Mauls created in the future will have a x3 critical hit multiplier."

[jjflanigan]

Added in an option to be able to compare up to 4 weapons

Added in a drop down to select your targets DR amount

Added in a weapon flag to "Bypass DR"

Added the ability to click the weapon forms and drag them around

Trying to come up with a decent way to provide an option to copy the weapon data down. Copying it isn't a problem...figuring out where to put a button / option to copy is

[Invalid_6]

This is a great tool, and I'd like to make a completely selfish request.

You were able to quickly convert your enhancement program to a webpage. Do you think you could do that here? I'm not able to run exe's from my work and can't use your software from anywhere but home. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one either.

Just a thought. If it's too much work, don't bother.

[Dielzen]

Hitting the "Reset" button has no apparent effect. And...egads, don't double-click a weapon box LOL

After this version I'd have to say that a copy feature would prolly be a waste of effort, since it's not readily apparent which one is wpn1, wpn2, etc.

Oh, and for Elemental and Elemental Burst, you might want to add in (Doubled) versions, for example; Icy Burst is doubled against a Fire Elemental

[Dielzen]

Got this earlier, only once and it worked fine when choosing continue, but thought I'd mention it...

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

[Dielzen]

**** you're quick...you prolly missed my edit regarding elemental doubling since I did it not long before your update post.

Yeah, sorry, did not see the edit. I'll see about getting that added in

[DKerrigan]

JJ, ur teh awesomz!

[broncosfan78]

i downloaded the file, and i'm getting an error opening the program,

it says:To run this application, you must first install one of the following versions of the .Net Framework: v2.0.50727

Dont know what that means.

[Tanka]

You need to have the Microsoft .Net package installed to use it.

Go to Microsoft's website and search for a download there.

[binnsr]

that's a nice little tool, jj ..

Just a couple of thoughts after running a few comparisons this morning..

1) seeker is really a prefix (my twf pally uses a +1 seeker(+4) shortsword of pure good in his offhand right now)

2) On the same vein, any chance that you could make it so that we can do TWF comparisons? Having a seeker or backstabbing weapon in the offhand really changes hit/damage values for a weapon pairing.

[JayDubya]

Fixed -- I forgot to clean my optics!

Boy you'll never get Dr. Hathaway to give you that recommendation now.

*tsk tsk*
