Enchanting of Explosion Radius on the Weapon Calc fixed.

Fantasy Globe CPUs added to Stat Calc

I hope that the Fantasy Globe CPUs are correct. I only had 2 of the 4 to work off of for screenshots, and old info to fill in the rest.]]> Mon, 07 Jun 2010 13:22:23 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=74 Stat Calc now gives you your shield amount instead of just -n/a-. The amount of shield per stat was not known until Pervertido of BCU Prelude sent me a list of almost every value from 2-300. Be sure to thank him if you see him. ^^

The few missing spots in the data were filled using trendline formed from what data was available. Most should be 100% accurate with just those few only deviating by +/- 3 at most.]]> Thu, 27 May 2010 11:19:48 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=73
On the Armor Calc Beta page, I added this new hover ability. You can check it out by hovering the mouse over any of the banked armors. I have it working 100% on my local version for both weapons and armor, but it took a complete revamp of the site class structure. Expect to see it when everything else is done.

On a cooler note, I hope to have that functionality available beyond just AceCalcs. If you own a clan site or forum, I am working on setting it up so you can load the data from AceCalcs and get the same hover ability on your site.]]> Wed, 26 May 2010 04:14:19 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=72
There are a whole bunch of changes planned. Most of the current tools on the site will still stay intact, but will be allowed to better interact with each other and let the site work as one big tool instead of just a container for them. I may give more details as it progresses, but it is still too early to list anything definite.

Many people have e-mailed suggestions on things to add or change on the site, and some of those are being worked on. If you have any ideas to share, don't hesitate to send me an e-mail. ^^]]> Fri, 14 May 2010 05:10:01 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=71
Armor Calc Beta

Along with the new format, I am also testing a user comment bit I have been working on. It isn't exactly feature-filled, but still helpful. If you have any questions/comments/concerns in relation to the new format, don't be afraid to leave a comment. ^^]]> Sat, 01 May 2010 02:37:07 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=70 Created Weapons by users hit 30,000. I would like to thank everyone of the close to 20,000 different users that visit the site and make it what it is.

On a more technical note, I have been working on a whole lot of changes to the site the past few months, but one of them may be making an appearance soon. To try and shrink down the width of the calcs, a new format is being worked on. Once done, I will put it out in beta to see if everyone likes it. It will only be the Armor Calc that will get this treatment until it is confirmed better.]]> Tue, 20 Apr 2010 12:11:06 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=69
The Contact page is kinda in beta mode for a bit as my old host did the emailing for me. New host means no use of that script, so I made one myself. Also, the host change caused a loss of ALL my old emails attached with that account... fuuuuu. Didn't get back-ups in time. Will work on that part later.

Anyways, creator saves should be back to normal. To make up for lost time, I increased the funds on there a bit. Nothing special. I appreciate the patience. ^^]]> Wed, 31 Mar 2010 04:06:16 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=68
I am planning to do this Wednesday, March 24th between 11:00-midnight CST. Creator weapon saves will be disabled prior to that to ensure there isn't a loss of information. Now this doesn't mean the site is going to go DOWN at that time. Just that I am going to start transferring.

So why am I changing hosts? Cause Globat sucks dick. :D Probably moving to JustHost. Will be cheaper and more reliable.]]> Tue, 23 Mar 2010 05:08:05 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=67
Sorry to those that were maybe using the site at the time. Was a very random maintenance. =/ If there are every any other strange problems, please send me a e-mail. My local server and the host server don't quite work the same on some things, and I don't always catch those differences.]]> Wed, 17 Mar 2010 04:15:05 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=66
Most changes were made to make variable word sizes much easier to work with. Others were to clean up the mess that it was. Major changes include:

• Visual:
• 80% of all table structure on the site changed to div.
• All the calcs now have collapsible info boxes
• Guides section moved under the general Resources tab
• Other:
• Creator shops can now have their amounts increased/decreased by clicking anywhere in the items description
• Tools section added for downloadable tools and such that people have created

So nothing huge, but took forever. =/ I will post again when the translations are done. For now, only the French ones are done, thanks to the help of Kyrios, who also was my guinea pig for getting things to work right. ^^

I ran into some issues with compatibility between local and host networks, making maintenance take way longer then the 10 minutes I hoped for. Should be fine now.]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:34:18 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=65
Because of the large amount of e-mails I receiving about translating (around 40+), I have been unable to reply to all of them. I do read every e-mail sent, so don't think I am ignoring you. Just trying not to get overwhelmed.

My goal is to have it done in 2 weeks, but considering Mass Effect 2 comes out in a few days... that isn't a promise. >_>

Update (2/25/10): Told you. Actually close to being done though. Still a lot to do, but A LOT less than before. It has become 25% language addition and 75% code cleaning/format updating.]]> Mon, 25 Jan 2010 03:59:30 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=64
The problem? I only know English. D:

If you are someone fluent in English and another language you want to see on the site (preferably of one the game has a version for) and want to help, send me a mail from the Contact Page. Know that there will probably be a good amount of text to run through, but the help would be greatly appreciated.

All of this is still in very early development (I started working on it just a few hours ago), so a full list of the needed translations may not be available for a little while, until it is all compiled. I just thought it best to get a list of translators ready ahead of time.]]> Fri, 08 Jan 2010 07:12:19 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=63

Hyper Enchant Protects added to the Weapon Creator.

Stat Calc:

• Format made to fit the other calcs a bit.
• Armor listing now uses the same list as the Armor Calc.
• You are able to link to the base armor shown in the Armor Calc.
• A LOT of underlying coding changes/tweaks

Weapon/Armor Linking

• Linking options are viewable after clicking a link
• The viewed item can be loaded into its respective calc.

Various coding tweaks to allow the calcs to load outside data.

Though you can now, technically, link to the calc itself, I would recommend not doing so. It has a longer load time and isn't made for quick viewing. If the user wants to play with it, they can click the link to load it in themselves.

And for those not happy about the recent change in how drop rates are shown on Acepedia, do know that this is a preemptive decision to prevent the potential loss of a lot more. While I won't go into the details, just know that between the two choices given, this is the one you would prefer.

Just know that it is a preemptive decision. Whether or not similar changes are made is beyond Tim or my own control. We apologize in advance.]]> Sat, 02 Jan 2010 22:09:33 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=62 Acepedia. That includes eva/def cards, engine cards, and the drop rates of many of the new mobs.

One of the big fixes is that Acepedia now works in Internet Explorer. It is still a bit funky when clicking monster names for detailed info, but it seems to work for all the rest.

Thanks for the update Tim! :D]]> Fri, 01 Jan 2010 16:57:07 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=61
The Weapon Calc info box now shows the results of both formulas, shown as "True"(old) and "Expected"(new). The names come from the value that is most true to the info screen and what is expected if you shoot something. All in all, I just like the new way it looks. Less jumbled text.]]> Tue, 29 Dec 2009 03:12:53 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=60
Secondly, there has been a good amount of changes to the site. Many are impossible to see; others are obvious

• Weapon Calc
• All Pumpkin weapons added.
• All Boss weapons added. (ver 3.1)
• Back to its old formula (reason here).
• Unfinished Boss weapons can now have enchants and fixes.
• Added a "True Prob" piece that adds in prob given from the attack stat.
• Fixed the Partial Total view when mixing attack fixes/enchants with attack buffs.
• Weapons missing pictures now correctly show a "No Image" placeholder.
• Dropdown for weapon classes organized slightly diffirently.
• Armor Calc
• All Non-WP Slot Armors (R, D, E) have been added.
• An RSS Feed has been added.
• Prefix "Solace" corrected.
• Recently created weapons have been moved to the sidebar and only shows users with a saved name.
• Guide search form cleaned up a bit.
• Darker segments of the page now use opaque PNGs.
• Site "theme" has been centralized to a CSS.
• Databases for news, created weapons, and guides have been reorganized and relocated.
• Site file structure reorganized and old files cleaned out.
• Various coding tweaks.

I know a lot of this stuff should have been added a long time ago (especially boss weapons and modifications of such), so there should be quite a few happy people. ^^ Sorry for the long wait. =(

A lot of the underlying restructuring of the site was done to make some future stuff I hope to work on much easier on my end.]]> Mon, 28 Dec 2009 00:40:18 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=59 DiagFix (the table containing all fixes listed out; located through a button at the bottom of the Weapon Calc) was around 1 out of every 20 people that use the site, but I try to cater to all. ^^

Updated it a bit to use the new data and make it easier to play with. Isn't any prettier, but it never was meant to be. =P]]> Thu, 17 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=58
All Super gambles have been renamed. In case of differences, I kept the old versions still up on the Weapon Calc; they are just gray in the drop-down now. The new fixes also prompt an "aka" line that shows the old name, to help make it a bit easier to compare to what you may be used to.

Pierce fixes have also been added to the calc, but only the prefix ones (based on some things I was told). I may add the suffix ones a bit later, even if they aren't available.

The renamed Supers are also now on the Weapon Creator, but pierce fixes were NOT added to it. I will repeat, Pierce fixes will not pop up on any weapons on the creator... yet. I have to figure out the probability of getting them from gambles with some asking around. Until then, you have to live without a bit longer. =(

None of the old fixes were removed from the databases, and the "renames" were put in as new fixes, so old links to weapons with the old names will still show it with said name.

If you can't see the new fixes, clear you cookies and try again. Also, this was all added at 4am with little sleep, so e-mail me if I made something become D:.]]> Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=57
Christmas Event!
SantA-gear seems to have visited the creator early this year. :O He seems to have left some presents for everyone to enjoy! There is also a few new Christmas gambles in the shop that can help you spruce up your weapons with a bit of holiday cheer. ^^

On a serious note, the Weapon Calc, Direct Link, and Creator have all been changed over to the databaseing format the Armor Calc uses. It should not effect anything visually, but may cause linking issues until bugs are found.

Also, the Creator's starting items have been reduced to just SPI Caps. To make up for this, a closely equivalent amount of SPI has been added to the starting funds.]]> Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.acecalcs.net/index.php?post=56
The Armor Calc works just about the same as the Weapon Calc. That is cause it is about 80% copy/paste. The other 20% is a change to a slightly varied way of databaseing, making things 100 times easier on my end.

Anyways, DirectLink works with it just like on the other calc. I also made sure to add all the 72 and 85 boss armors in to the best of my ability. Slot armors I hope to add a bit later as well.

This does not mean a creator is coming for armor, but it is something I may throw together later. There are many other things I would like to do first, like take a small break. ^^

Enjoy. :D]]> Sat, 05 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST
