BECalc version 1.3 is now available (Link at bottom of page).


As long as no stand out bugs are found, the next versionwill be 1.4 which will include Tissue and Stim pricing.


The various changes/fixes since version 1.0 are as follows:


Version 1.0

- Release
- Added a new icon.
- Fixed an issue with the resist tab order. Tabbing through resists now follows
the same order as in game.
- Fixed a display error in the print out when Attack Speed would sometimes
display as a floating point number.


Version 1.1

- Added more error checking.
- Fixed reversed calculation on attack speed.
- Added scaling for HAM price.
- Added scaling for Resist price.
- Added "Cool Factor" checkbox.
- Hitting the "Calc Cost" button now resets the Output window.
- Other general "under the hood" changes to tidy the code up.


Version 1.2

- Added scaling for "To Hit".
- Added scaling for "Attack Speed".
- Added scaling for "Damage".
- Fixed a bug in the Attack Speed code.
- Changed the HAM options so they work off a 1/10th scale (Under where it
says "x/10 credits per HAM point", a 1 means .1, for "1" credit you need
to have "10 listed. With the default .INI the values are: .4, .6, .8, 1,
1.2 and 1.4 credits. This has made BECalc much more flexible).
- Fixed a bug where the HAM settings were not being read properly.
- Changed the .INI settings to more realistic (IMO) values. They may not suit
you, so if you tweak up a set yourself, post the contents of the .INI to the
SWG forums, I'm sure others would like them too.


Version 1.3

- Dropped Attack Speed to 1.90 after reports of people making creatures lower
than 2.00
- Split HAM into separate pool checks(Optional).
- Added scaling for each HAM pool (Optional).
- Fixed "Cool Factor" option not saving.
- Added "Vuln" as base for resists, not "0".
- General cleanups.

Thanks!


I probably should have called it "BE Price Calc".....hindsight's a great thing)


Still, there's nothing stopping me from adding something like that. If the documentation that TH has promised turns out to be any good, I may even add some sort of creature making calculator to it, so don't rule it out yet

Unchecked the "Calculate the HAM pools seperatly" and now the errormsg is "'0.40 is not a valid floating point value."

I think it has to do with the HAM calc.. What do u think?

Did you overwrite the INI when you installed the new version?


The old INI is incompatible and may be whats causing the problem. Try renaming or deleting the current directory and extractthe archiveto a new directory.


I ran the figures you gave andmine gave me the following without error:


CL 17 = 0
Total resists = 5295
Armor bonus = 0
Ranged bonus = 0
H: [email protected] A: [email protected] M: [email protected] for total= 2946
Damage 110 at 25 per point = 2750
To Hit is 0.01 at 125 per point = 125
Attack speed is 3.00 at 50 per point = 0
Special Attack 1 is None : 0
Special Attack 2 is None : 0

TOTAL PRICE: 11114

That's adjustable based on creature level (in the "HAM and CL" options, though I forgot to remove the "=0" when there is no figure calculated for it.


I'll add removing the "=0" when thats not taken as part of the calculation it to the "ToDo".


Thanks for the feedback)

Hmm....0.40 would be the "To Hit" value. I downloaded it from the home page just to make sure I hadn't uploaded a dud when I updatedand I couldn't get it to reproduce that error here, so the install from the web is Ok.


All I can suggest is to delete the old directory andtry a clean install.


If it still happens, zip the directory up, send me a PM and I'll give you my email so you can send it to me.

I know what it is. Over here in sweden we use decimals instead of.. uhmm.. dots to separate integers from decimals (Did that make any sence at all? ).

Example:
1.00 = 1,00

I see a combo that has the value "1,00" as default but in the drop down list i see it as "1.00"

Should have thought of it when i got the first errormsg but my mind is still home in bed.
