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 bookmarked Glyph's site ages back when i was working on the wiki (looks like that was a waste of time) I still want the mini cooper w/union jack alt.

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.

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

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:

its workin fine on a PC with firefox, but its not working at all on a iMac with safari

So it's working fine then.

Calculator should be fixed for those of you who were having problems with it in PC browsers. Not going to tackle the problem for Safari on a Mac since you can use Firefox or Chrome on a Mac. Please post if you continue to have problems with the calculator not functioning at all.

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.

I've been running into a strange bug lately. I have guys who are level 0 and level 2 on my team, for the most part. When I have them active, I see level 1 only missions that none of my guys can accept. I can get into any mission I'm eligible for but it's strange seeing missions I can't accept at all.

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 6:13 pm

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.

Woah, missions just got all screwed up in a way I don't believe I've seen before. Everything was spaced too far apart vertically, and now I just get an error message.

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.
