[Public Release] Splatools

[Leanny]

Dang it, sometimes I hate git. I commited but not pushed... I'm not at home right now, so I can't push it, but you can download the latest version also here. Sorry for that.

All right, took a look at the Gear Abilities feature. Saving and Loading works fine, but when I try to reset it shows this error instead:

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

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Thankfully, it doesn't crash and I can still change my abilities as normal, but I thought you would like to know about this.

 

[VideoGameVirtuoso]

I found a small amount of errors, plus the one JSK found.

1. In the Effect Calculator, there is an extra period within the brackets. For example, (+30% per shot.).
2. The weapon damage seems to be inaccurate marginally. For example, the E-Liter 3K (charged) is 179.99 damage instead of 180, where it was in earlier versions. This issue applies to various weapons.
3. The Calculate button is redundant. The only way it can be used now is by pressing Reset and then pressing Calculate right after, which is at best accidental.

Since I am talking about redundant buttons, you could also have Spyke Simulation's Calculate button redundant if abilities inserted into the slots are calculated as they appear, in a very similar manner to the Effect Calculator. This could help players understand the odds of getting two of the same sub-abilities if their brand is neutral, and their re-rolling luck is extremely poor, a little quicker, among other useful calculations.

That is all I got, thank you for all your hard work Leanny :)

Strange... It worked during my first testing and now it's broken again... @@ I'll look into it.

Alright, I'll remove the button, try to find out why he does not round the values and remove the extra periods. Thanks!

 

[Leanny]

Okay, I fixed the rounding issues and the reason for the crash on reset. I'll change the stuff with the redudant button and the extra periods after I'm back from my holidays, since they are not THAT crucial. Happy new year, squids, the next big update will come in the new year :D

 

[VideoGameVirtuoso]

I forgot to mention something else.

It would be nice to right click the sub-abilities in Spyke Simulator to change them into triples as well. Now that I think about it, I do not use it for anything but finding out those odds.

 

[Chocolil]

Anyway for it to save options? I can't think of any reason I would not want everything sorted alphabetically but if I close the program I have to reset it.

 

[Leanny]

Will be added next version. I just put it on my ToDo list :) (it will take some more time, this time I try to release something that is not so easy to crash xD)

 

[Bronze]

Major complaint is that on computer text sizes not on 100%, the tool is not usable as I can't resize the window, or the window won't adjust itself for the larger text size.

Aside from that, once I changed over my size it works well.

 

[Smychavo]

Oh boy oh boy, I'm gonna enjoy this tool mostly for the Spyke simulator. Thanks

 

[Chocolil]

Another request if possible

Spoiler

 

[Leanny]

Alright, I'll add this. I have one more week and then I have some freetime to finally work on it again :)

 

[Raiden]

wow, this tool seems to be a lot of work for you... but it surely is inkredible and amazink. keep up the great work^^ i'll spread it to all my friends

 

[Chocolil]

What the heck is the text box for at the bottom?

Was trying to make the window larger to remove the scrollbar and noticed it.

 

[Leanny]

I'd like to know myself xD I look this up

Edit: it is called "magicBox" and should do some behind the scene jobs that are hard to do without some tricks. I used it for something that is not done in the current version and forgot to make it invisible

 

[Leanny]

Okay guys, I did not finish the stuff I planed yet, but I have uploaded an updated version of Splatools where you can see what the buffs will do. You can check it out here https://www.dropbox.com/s/98fhqx6w7b10b6d/Splatools.zip?dl=0 (not on my git yet)

 

[Z_Boy]

Thanks Leanny for this simulation tool!
It's allowed me to check a fear I have about the Traditional Headband: the total impossibility to have a shiny gear because I rerolled for 500+ times (ingame) and never got the 3 same of any abilities; with Splatools, as for the 500th roll, I got 3 or 4 perfect roll. I don't understand what's happening... maybe the Famitsu gears cannot be shiny?

It can ^^ But it is pure luck....

 

[Z_Boy]

Yeah I just saw that; because I got nothing for the first 500+ rolls and got 4 during the 300+ next ones!

But I want to be sure; more I get failed tries, more the chances to get that I want increase? Even if I save scum?

 

[Chocolil]

Any word on when the next release will be?
