I've written a program for BE's to calculate creature prices.


I'm trying to arrange a web host for it currently (if anyone knows of a good free one, or has some free space available let me know, it's 300Kb's), but here's a few pics of it to get some feedback:

EDIT: I've created a home page for it on Geocities. If too many people download it in a given hour, they throttle access to the page. If you have trouble dowloading it, leave it for a bit and try again later.

You can access it HERE.

Happy pricing

Looks nice i am interested... Does it have a bonus for CL10 and below? I think NonCH creatures should be almost as expensive as CH,or have a different program based on them because the demand is high for quality non ch creatures.

Boy you must really hate me becasue I dont charge flat rates, I accept tips, but thats about it.

Becasue I dont think people with out credits should be penalized and not get a nice creature.

Yes, it has seperate Options for Sub 10, Sub 23 and Sub 35 (and no, they don't add together )).


You can also set each resist/SA at a different pricing level.

CL Bonus3 (Sub 35)..............2500
HAM Price per point...............1
Damage Price per point.........9
AttackSpeed Price per point..2500
ToHit Price per point..............7500
Kinetic Price per point...........100
Blast Price per point..............50
Heat Price per point...............50
Electricity Price per point......15
Energy Price per point..........50
Stun Price per point..............20
Cold Price per point..............15
Acid Price per point..............20
Stun Strike Price..................1000
Intimidation Price.................2000
Mild Disease Price..............1000
Medium Poison Price..........1500
Blinding Strike Price............1000
Dizzy Strike Price...............5000
Mild Poison Price................1000
Strong Disease Price.........5000
Crippling Strike Price.........1000

I am just starting out in BE and i think this would be an excellent aid. It's always difficult when entering a new business to decide how to price things and this look to be a really simple but effective tool. Congrats. Let me know when it's available or downloadable

Write down what uber mega never could possiblly be made CL 70 pet would be worth to you along with its stats.


then base a formula off of that for diffrent parts of the pet, Dmg+tohit+speed,Ham,if armor, if ranged,special 1,special 2,resistances(might want to do individual formulas for each type of reistance.)


then that is how you make a priceing scheme,


example 20k Ham+AR1+60/60/100/100/100/100/100/100 Strong disease Strong poison Ranged [email protected]:0.65 for 500k, that is my yardstick just so you know, now i broke up all the numbers into a formula to make this pet = 500k then stuck it in a perl calc.

Ok, I made a Geocities page for it


If it hits the hourly bandwidth "cap" you may not be able to access it, so just try again later.


http://www.geocities.com/tinman_au2/index.html


If you hit on a nice pricing scheme, share it with us and post the contents of the BECalc.ini file


You can also copy the contents of the Output window and paste that into ingame emails or vendor descriptions. You need to set the key combosfor "Chat Paste", "Chat copy" and "Chat Cut" in the Keyboard options to do this however, as the default install of SWG is to leave them blank.
