I spend almost as much time on your site as I do in the actual game, awesome piece of work.

Now that we're getting variations in mech chassis, could you include data on arm/torso twist and turning speed for different engines on different mechs? On the splash-screen we get when clicking in the engine column on the stats table would be a good place, and possibly somewhere in the mech-lab.

Next update will have twistx support for arm/torso arcs popup (3 pie charts) other data like tuning speed will be added too sometime.

Id really like some fold/expand option for the mechbay or something like it; I've so many builds saved that it is getting difficult to reach assaults for instance.. please, pretty please

Hi,

Would like to see weapon crit chances and damage multipliers added to weapon stats.

Now that we have variant tweaks (turn rates, acceleration etc.) it would be nice to see the stats on these.

Great site!

yea, they fixed a bunch of them. i will add coolrun and heatcontainment possible with the next update. maybe fastfire too (to the weaponlab, fastfire as a tooltip is for months now at the statspage)

Don't forget the Elite bonus.

crit changes and multipliers is displayed on the stats page already, variant tweaks will be added soon.

Seems they aren't correct though. For one thing, your tooltip a say "14% chance to do (one crit), 8% chance to do (two crits), 30% chance to do (three crits)" yeah, 30%... For the MG and Flamer that is. The LB 10-X says 3% for three

Anyways, those numbers are wrong... The 14/8/3 numbers are "additional" crit chance, on top of the normal 25/14/3. Making the total crit chance for them 39/22/6

And it seems the damage is wrong too... For the Flamer and MG.

your site says the Flamer does 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 when the patch notes say 0.44, 0.88, 1.32

And it says the MG does 0.48, 0.96, and 1.44 when the patch notes say 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5


Now I know your site pulls straight from the game files... So could this be a bug in the game files themselves?

Regarding crits: there seems to be a bug in the gamedata, smurfy made a post about it shortly after the patch came out.
Regarding the dmg: never trust patch-notes; the values seem to be simply rounded.

My first post in this thread was a reminder that the client data is purely cosmetic for the most part, we cannot know what's really happening on the server.

The bug wasn't in the data, just in the attribute names. In this case it's smurfy's bug, he got something wrong with the multipliers (seems to be a type casting mishap, he seems to be using an integer for the multiplier when it should be a float).

edit: Shouldn't post so late, to clarify: The crit chance bonus does indeed have buggy data (or maybe a buggy game), but as to the crit damage multiplier values that smurfy got wrong, they're correct in the game data.

Hey Smurfy- thanks for the online mechlab!

A question: How does the cooling efficiency percentage in the online mechlab relate to the heat efficiency rating when you actually tweak a mech in the game? For instance, I saw a guide saying a heat efficiency rating of 1.5 is good- what would that translate into cooling efficiency?

[Edustaja]

Hello again!

Would there be a way to incorporate a forum signature generator to your account. I'm thinking about something like this:


You could select a chassis type and which level are you have completed on that particular chassis (none, basic, elite, master). Maybe incorporate the variants as text under or beside the mechs. This could however make for too large a image.
It would then be easy to either save or link the image on your personal forums.

hi, as blark already said the crit chance values are wrong in the gamefiles itself.
about the wording i will change it. that it will reflect an increase rather than a fixed value.

had a quick look i read both attributes (the one with and without an i) and should use the value as a float. (no explicit typecast) i will check later today and doing some debugging.

problem is that the heat efficiency in game is not really good. 3dworlds has a working formula in his excel mechlab, but using many modifiers to get there. some weapons gets discounts some dont.

cooling efficiency. uses only your heatsinks vs. the heatsinks needed to cool the weapons completly.

i like the idea, but i dont think i have time to do that anytime soon. sorry.

Hi Smurfy,

Instead of having "undefined" as the link's name used for the forum, why not adjust it to "Link to Mechlab Config" or something along those lines. You could do whatever you want really, but having it as "undefined" is not so hot.

Maybe a basic "Link to CDA-2A Cfg" is a good starting example where we just list the mech this cfg is for. (Even just the chassic-variant name is good "CDA-2A Cfg".

Ahhh I liked that. It made setting a custom name easier as that bit of text was easier to pull out of the string.

You liked the "undefined" ? ok i did not fixed it in my dev version so i'm ready for improvements.
What do you think about a textbox with prefilled the variants name and you can alter that and the forum and html will update automatically.

I would love that!

[Durkan]

Any chance of an option to switch off the background image ?

Kinda cluttered looking with it on - I much preferred the plain background.

[Kittybang]

I really like the improvements for the site. Keep up the good work

[smurfynet]

Site Update:
* changed the layout a bit (yes i will think about the background and i trying some other changes aswell)
* added coolrun/heatcontainment/elite to weaponlab
* added toggling class groups in mechbay
* added textbox to save loadout link to alter linktitle
* added jump jet infos to stats page
* you now can switch between none/basic/elite stats in "arm and torso yaw popup"
* fixed dmg calculation for + crit weapons
* some other small fixes i dont remember

[Blark]

Like most of the updates, but I would prefer a darker background
