Planetside skill calculator: a necessity for all Planetside players.

geez, no one seems to be answering me this thing doesn't work for me, what language does it use?

[Hellsfire123]

ill assume java or html. And it runs on the slowest and most outdated computer in my house (pII 450 on win98). Not sure why you cant run it, check your internet settings and restart your computer.

It's probably about 90% geusswork 10% fact. But it's still fun to play around with.

They also made intelligent guesses based off of the current info available. He also said he built that as the premise for the final version, so he did all the coding ahead of time and now just has to sit back and wait for the info.

Notice how all these cert calcs are coming out? I would be willing to bet three banna's and a leach that some people in the beta who know how to program are making these. Hence they know how many certs each thing costs.

Ur probably right there Tobias so I won't be betting against u. Although it could just be poeple who have been reading lots and know how to program..

Also, Calculators are one of the easiest things to program, you can do it after one class of visual basic or whatever, so I'm sure SOMEONE in closed beta has it done, but because of NDA... hehe we can't see it yes unless they get a go ahead.

Just FYI,

I am not in Beta. All my info is either official, scavaged from a screenshot, or an educated guess.

That about says it all. I was done with the calculator in a few hours. Except that too much work went into this thing for me to call it "easy". However, I did learn a lot as I went. It is more than just a calculator, that's not even half of it. In fact, simulating the inventory has taken the most effort.
