Looks like the xp calculator is broken... i can't get any special tactics to load when an alt mode is chosen, and it doesn't add up any xp at all.

Not browser dependent: I tried it on Chrome and on Internet Explorer, calculator doesn't work properly on either.

This works for me in FF/Chrome/Opera/IE and Safari, although safari seems glitchy. Good thing I don't use it.

AD I have a basic calculator in excel that I have made. If you want I can mail it to you when I get home.

_Anshin_, yes please, very kind, would be very handy indeed. I'll pm you my e-mail.
Just tested it again, still no luck...
I'm not getting any change for:
- Experience spent
- Number of upgrades
- Level

Perhaps it's certain restrictions here at work and not browser-related, but that would seem very strange to me. Curious, anyhow.

At home now: I've tried the XP Calculator on Firefox AND on iPhone's Safari but in both cases the Calculator is still not working properly :-?

Here's what I'm seeing:

Perhaps a character-based problem?

I'm getting the same. Its not actually calculating the XP and level, or allowing you to add tactics to a build.

Ill get someone to email Ryan and see if he has made any changes to the site that may have had a knock-on effect.
And by someone, I mean Sustain.


Anshin, would you mind uploading your excel sheet to rapidshare (or similar) and making it public until we can sort this out please?

Its strange, I actually have been getting blocked from the site off and on for the past few days, but I thought that it was the security guys doing their thing from the other group. I know that the calculator on the site works for me here still.

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.

The calculators works fine for you still? How odd. I'm running FF 4.0.1. which is the most uptodate version so I don't think its a browser issue.

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. :twisted:

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.

Ok, not sure how old this is. I know the data is not up to date on this site, but when I was trying to see if I could get a copy of the old calculator via Google Cache I came across this site just now.

Somebody Else's Calculator

Psychout Try to google HMW Calculator then use the cached version to see if it works for you.

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...

I just got home. Just a question:
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.

To my knowledge, it was glyph who added the calculator in here based on his offsite one so it's a pretty safe assumption it will be correct.

That would be due to some of the alt classes being updated (Mkall) and not the calculator (Glyph)

Since the most recent style update for the site, the XP calculator isn't working. It doesn't display the total XP, number of upgrades, level, nor can you upgrade tatics when you select an Alt Mode. At least when you select the gadget Alt-mode. :BANG_HEAD:
