Thread: Lantyssa & SWGCraft: Wonder Twin Powers, Activate!
SWGCraft has a great site for any crafter, and Lantyssa's sweet calculators are a huge help to BE's. Wouldn't it be awesome if they could be somewhat combined! And possibly even enhanced?
Enhancements:
*Ability to add the resource name to calc and have it pull the corresponding stats from SWGCraft database
*Ability to estimate the minimum needed value on remaining resources to achieve a chosen targeted bonus
*Possibly even get resource suggestions based on a minimum value to reach the bonus target.
So possibly the calc could would work like the following:
1) Choose the type of tissue you want to predict
2) Choose the bonus target value you'd like to end up with
3) A 'min value to bonus target' is shown in all boxes based on bonus target value (868 for 16/16, 943 for 17/17 TRs, I believe)
3) Enter the resource name and have the stats pulled into the calc from the SWGCraft database
4) A 'min value to target' is shown on the remaining boxes greyed out like the AQ/Avg boxes are.
So using TR tissues as the example:
1) Pick TR
2) Drop down box - choose 16/16 as the target bonus
3) Enter the resource name 'Eichrir' in the Creature Food field and the corresponding OQ/PE/FL are filled with 947, 985, 924
4) The 'min value to target' changes to 789oq, 751pe, 812fl. (avg out to 868 if I'm correct)
5) Subsequent stat additions change the min value to target. (I know that's a funky name, but hopefully that is descriptive enough to indicate what I mean it should do.
Maybe this wouldn't work at all and I'm paddling with a short oar, but it seems like it would be feasible. Either way, I truly appreciate the hard work of both these parties to give us great tools!

Well you are in luck because swgcraft shares it's data and yours truly is working on enhancing and expanding swgcreatures which is where Lantyssa's beautiful tissues calculator resides. I will bookmark your post and keep it in mind for consideration ... whatever happens tho it will live at swgcreatures.com not at swgcraft tho but we can easilty pull the data over if we don't already (I'm embarrassed to say i think we do but haven't explored that part of the site yet).
Ultimately of course, the decision is up to Lantyssa how she wants it.
Yours, Dor

I have a silly hatred of doing any coding for databases, so integration of the two is beyond my abilities. I'm happy to let someone that it doesn't bother muck about with it all they want though.
