Resource Calculator/Information

Postby Cdls » Tue Aug 12, 2014 12:23 am

Got bored and was tired of the Wiki being laggy, so I am making a little webapp type thingy for resource information/trade values.

>>Site temporarily down<<

:::NEW EDIT:::

Recreating the project and planning on new additions. The calculator is under revision and will be put back up when ready.

Planning on adding additional tools such as a custom character description maker (for those who don't want to write their own, but still want one) and other things.

D:

I love the fact that somebody made this - nice work! - but I also hate the fact that somebody made this!

Almost entirely RIP any sort of old-fashioned haggling! (Maybe I'm being reactionary, but my train of thought was "ooh, cool! ooh, wow! ooh- aww crap."

Thanks, and it isn't meant for people to substitute for in game events. Like the Wiki and other OOC content, it is for educational purposes only and people should not influence their IC actions. It also doesn't (yet) take travel time/fuel consumed into account, or personal rate offsets.

Yeah, this is great. Every now and then, a character needs to have more time for research and calculations than I have. Rather than taking away the option of bartering, I think this allows us to have characters who have more talent at figuring this stuff out than their players might have otherwise been able to grant them.

It's true. I mean our characters basically have all day to think about these things and trade rates while we don't..What I've been doing personally is just keeping a record of my previous calculations, though I still often find myself making the same calculations over again to see how much something is worth. Though it's true that many rates are different between different characters, so it would be nice to have a calculator that can make those types of adjustments.

I actually have an Excel/LibreOffice-compatible workbook I use to calculate rates of both gathered and produced goods. I've been meaning to expand it to include tools, weapons, etc... but haven't gotten that far yet. If it can help with the project or if anyone wants it, PM me and I'm happy to share. (Use at your own risk - some people might not agree with my calculation methods.)

Broke it. Then fixed it again.
Made some behind the scenes changes so I could begin the efficiency calculators.
Fixed the gram calculations on the processed metals.

Got caught up in life stuff and started a couple other big projects so everything took a backseat. Now that I have some free time, I will be working on it some more. Information added to the original post, along with the new domain.


Any issues, please PM me :D

Is it up or not? The first post and your signature seem to be in conflict each other.

It was merged with the other site but due to the issues (posted in the other thread) it will not be active until I have resolved things with the server host.
