DekaCalc Skill Simulator v1.2.1 (With Argate Calculator) - A16
DekaCalc Skill Simulator v1.2.1
Hello all. Just thought I'd repost a release I made over at the Dekaron Global forums here, so that more people can see it. It's not made for private servers, but definitely can be useful for them. Just in case any of you guys don't frequent those forums. It's pretty much a copy paste, because I can't be assed to rewrite it all for no reason. Enjoy.
DekaCalc is a skill simulator made specifically for Global Dekaron Action 16. It is planned to receive continual updates to remain accurate in further game updates. Of course, there may still be some inaccurate information and other bugs, so not only is this a release thread, but it is also a thread to report any bugs that users may find.
As of version 1.1.4, there is also a new argate calculator included. The calculator may be quite difficult to use, so for tutorials on how to use it, read the link on the bottom of this post. You can input what conditions you want to upgrade with and it will return with results such as how many argates are required, the probabiliy of success, and other statistics. The result summary can then be saved to a file. I don't plan on adding tons of more simulators, but I thought this would be a much-appreciated bonus.
A skill calculator has not been released for Dekaron since roughly Action 5, so I found a huge need to release this as there is topic and topic again about which skills max at which level, which skills do what, and in general not much public information about the current skills in game, leading to huge gaps in player skill simply because veteran players know what the skills do and there is no way in game to find out. I thank the community for the experience I gained in making it, and hope you have as much fun using it as I had making it. But what thread is complete without some pictures?
Overview of the skill simulator
The new argate calculator in V1.1.4
The calculator can be run from anywhere and does not require any additional programs to be installed besides standard windows files. It is made to be compatible with Windows 7 64-bit, but should run on earlier versions of windows as well.
NOTE: Some skill effects and other attributes have been simplified. For example, the Crow Wings (LV 73 dual weapon hunter skill) has skill damage of 1 X 544(42% PC Rate), 1 X 561(42% PC Rate), 1 X 596(42% PC Rate), and 1 X 1873(47% PC Rate) at skill level 1. In the skill calculator, the resulting value is 4 X 596(42% PC Rate). The skill damage is averaged and the PC rate with the highest amount of hits takes priority. Crow Wings is a particularly nasty example because the median skill damage is used, but for most skills, the average is used. For example, if a skill has 1 X 300, 1 X 400, and 1 X 700 skill damage, the damage shown in the calculator will be 3 X 467. Because of this, most skills should have skill damage equal to the damage in game, but a few skills, such as Crow Wings, will give a lower damage estimate. For skill effects, some skills with extremely minor effects may not be recorded, but the best effort has been taken to add them all. But, there's limited space to show all the skill effects sometimes.
Corrections from players would be appreciated for any incorrect skill information.
Cheers (:

CHANGELOG
Version 1.2.1:
+Completely overhauled most of the calculation functions. There should now be far less antivirus warnings when running the calculator. If you are still receiving warnings, please leave a post with details in this thread or a private message. There may still be some warnings due to the nature of the program
+Fixed Dead Spark and Shockwave skill information for Bagis
+Some cosmetic changes to make it easier to read skill levels
Version 1.2.0:
+Updated skill information for A16 - Energy
+Fixed skill descriptions of some Black Wizard and Azure Knight skills
+Removed the skill reset button because it was causing problems and incorrectly calculating free skill points in some cases. Use the character reset button instead
+Finally, colosseum argates are no longer required for upgrading colosseum items. However, I have kept the option to use them in the calculator for people to be able to figure out the cost difference of upgrading the colosseum items in A16
Version 1.1.4:
+New argate calculator
+Fixed various skill bug fixes (too many to list), including revised Transup buff effects
+New splash screen image, background, and some other cosmetic changes
+Fixed a lot of performance issues, but there's still some things to work out. In some cases CPU usage is nearly halved
Version 1.1.3:
+Initial public release
