HMW Bug Reporting Thread
Re: Bug Reporting Thread
Posted by _Anshin_ Thu Jun 16, 2011 1:56 pm
When I get home tonight, I will polish up the excel spreadsheet and upload it to a rapidshare type site.
Just a word of warning: This is based off my logic, so you have to know a bit about your form as it doesn't do the whole drop down "Tank = strafe/ram, Fighter = Strafe/ Avoid, etc" thing.
It is used to primarily calculate the base stats and then there is a small section to fill out for your tactics that will perform multipliers on. I don't want people to think that I know all of the forms tactics and such and put them into a giant excel spreadsheet.
I will make a few small changes so that it is a bit easier to use and update before I upload it though.
Edit:
Just out of curiosity (and troubleshooting). Are the people having problems using add-ons or popup blockers, anti-virus, etc?
I checked the site using my phone (Android) and didn't have an had a small issue with zero population for the drop down. I flushed the cache/system and did an ADB wipe of the Dolphin cache and checked the site again and it works now.
Using Firefox with the Firebug addon, Addblock, no script: No issues, wiped cache, cookies, etc. Came back and still can access it.

As for the sheet not being 'perfect', don't worry, we'll just have to get the players to think for themselves for a change.
Thanks for doing this.

Means I should proof read before I hit submit.
I had an issue with the calculator on my Android phone. I had to wipe the application cache as well as clear the web history/cookies/etc before I came back and the calculator worked fine. My issue is that it would not populate the drop downs for the selection so I could only do action master at first.

Glyphs site is still live?? Wow. He's a former programmer of the game, he added the ability to edit your alts colour, I think he also added the repair tactic and, most importantly, added the cassette altmode. He was cool.
Ill check it over tomorrow once I finish getting all nostalgic...

Once I ran an Anime festival with over 6,000 attendees. Now... not so much.

Is this factor table from that site correct?
If so give me a bit to change the formulas over 4 stats and I will make a new sheet up and post it before I pass out.

actually i"m pretty sure the calculator is wrong here on seibs anyway.
i forget which alts, but it does the math wrong on a few. It over charges you. nothing major, but its not always right

I will not be addressing the problem with the calculator not tallying up results correctly as this is not a crucial function to the game.

Burn wrote:Yeah if you have active characters you're trying to deploy that are more than one level apart (and there's no level in between) it tends to generate missions for that missing level. Just keep refreshing and you'll get a mission.
I just made a couple of modifications to the queries to have them check against your available active characters' levels. Can you confirm that this functionality is now working correctly for you guys? Thanks.

None at all for you? What level are your characters? Is it possible there are no missions at all that have your character's level(s)?
