Web-based Rating Calculator

[Kephren]

Hi all,

I felt the existing web-based rating calculator (the one I knew of anyway) was lacking in a few features so I made a new one. I've called it the "Horizons School Rating Configumatron" and I'd love if you guys could help me test it. I have it at a temporary address for now but hope to find a more permanent place for it later. It can be found at:

http://horizons.gotdns.com

Features/Notes:
- Change current school on the fly with a drop-down list
- Fields accept numbers only and the numbers must be between 0 and 100
- Bookmarkable link to the page to "save" your school setup (not quite working yet)
- Gives both actual and non-rounded rating
- Gives full description of rating and how it's calculated
- Ugly black and white theme (*sigh* maybe I'll do something nicer later)

Thanks to those in the MarketPlace channel on Chaos who helped me test it a bit the other night. I've made a few changes since then so check it out again! Please post here or PM me with any comments, corrections, etc.

btw, your SIG is a takeoff on an offworld design T-shirt:

I will have to try your rating calculator... lemme guess... dragon 100... checks again... 100, checks a third time... 100.

Hehe, that would be good on a T-shirt! I'm not sure who originally said that quote, but I hear it was from Dilbert!

And yeah, the rating calculator isn't much use for dragons.

Ok, I think the bookmarkable link is working now. Please test it out!

but what does rating say?
only and just the xp one gets for adventure kills

maby a list of this would be nice too? 120 rows..
that dynamically changes depending on the input from the user?

Thanks, Thangorodrim, but I'm not sure what you mean - a list of what?

[Sigi]

He's asking for the XP you would receive from killing an enemy based on your rating. As far as I know this formula is not published. It's really two formulas, one for monsters above your rating and another for those equal or below your rating.

Back when I had time for trivial pursuits I did an analysis on the XP system and managed to find the formula for killing monsters less than your rating. It's all based on a concept called "Base Monster XP," the XP you gain when your level is equal to the monster's level. After that the equation looked like this:



Again, that's only for monsters less than your rating and with no group or multiple enemy bonuses. You get the BaseMonsterXP value from killing that monster where your rating = their rating. These values are arbitrarily assigned, but generally follow a quadratic (not exponential) curve.

http://horizons.gotdns.com/ is an invalid link. I would love to be able to find a program where i could plug in my various combat levels (and planned ones) to get the ranking. Anyone know of one?
