Tandi’s Dofus-related tools and projects

Some people asked me about that, so I just wanted to tell you that I’m “officially” back to work on DSC 1.2. I have already gathered all required data (about items, spells, sets etc.) and now all I need to do is… well, write whole code :P

I finished work on raw framework which will be utilized by DSC. DSC 1.2 is – unlike DSC 1.1 – modular, s o now I just write code for modules, one after another, and add them to framework.

Estimated time for DSC 1.2 to be released is 15th of March 2010.

What is going to be new in DSC 1.2?
- more calculators: scroll calculator, profession calculators, etc.
- advanced reporting tools: set comparision, builds comparision;
- advanced character manager (including builds manager and statistics calculator);
- more powerful items filter, now in few modes: from basic to manual finder (which allows you to create any custom search queries);
- multilanguage support, including names and descriptions of all items in all supported in Dofus languages);
- custom items – you can create item with any bonuses you want;
- support for all modern browser: Internet Explorer 7+, Firefox 3.x, Opera 10+, Chrome 4+, Safari 3+.
Yeah, I know DSC 1.2 should be released long time ago… Sorry for delay, I hope you will enjoy new version :)

Following this request on Impsvillage I created very simple statistics calculator. You may select character class, enter character level and calculator will show you what are maximum values of statistics for this character. You may also enter values of scrolled statistics if you want to check how maximum values change with scrolled stats.

Update: Statistics calculator has been improved. Just check it out, now it is really powerful tool.

I’m very busy recently, so I don’t have time to play Dofus nor work on DSC v1.2. But now I got some more free time, so I’m back to action – well, I still don’t play, but I can do something with new version of Set Creator.

Today I’ve decided to open sourcecode of Dofus Set Creator, so you will be able to see how does it work and use it for your projects. Sources will be published under CC-BY-SA license.

I will try to make this code to be clear and understandable. I hope that somebody will find it useful :)

Since Dofus Set Creator v1.1 is finished, I’m working on new version – 1.2. Some time ago I’ve posted some info about features I’m going to implement. Now it is time to give you more detailed information.

1. Character management

In version 1.1 character management is limited to creating / deleting characters, entering name, aligment, class and base statistics. New character manager will be based on something I call “character tree”. Let me use an example to explain it:

You create a character. While creating you will be asked only for name and class of this character. After that you will get new page, which will contain these basic information and list of so-called “subversions”. You may add, delete and copy these subversions. Each subversion stores more detailed information about your character. It will look like that:

Yeah, it is :) I finished last module – spells damage calculations. And now DSC v1.1 is all complete. Just enjoy :)

Now I can start working on DSC v1.2 :D

I’ve finished improved version of my Scroll Calculator. Now it is easier to enter values. This version calculates amount of resources (and cost) for all types of scrolls in one place – you don’t have to enter and check values separately for each type. For example, you want to obtain 10 medium scrolls of wisdom and 10 great scrolls of wisdom. You want to know how many mushrooms do you need. Calculator will tell you that:

• you need 1700 mushrooms in total
• you need 800 mushrooms for medium scrolls
• you need 900 mushrooms for great scrolls

Lets say that you have 1000 mushrooms already in bank. If you enter this value in proper field, calculator will tell you that:

• you need 700 more mushrooms
• you don’t need mushrooms for medium scrolls anymore
• you are still mising 700 mushrooms for great scrolls

Of course, if you enter current prices of mushrooms, calculator will tell you how many kamas you will need to buy everything (separately for: all scrolls, medium scrolls and great scrolls).

I hope you will find this version better than previous and it will be useful for you.

Enjoy!

I’ve finished improved version of Scroll Calculator – read more.

I’m scrolling some of my stats and I’ve created simple Excel spreadsheet to help me with that. Then I’ve realized that this calculator may be useful for other people, so I decided to share it with you.

Just download it and open in Excel or OpenOffice – instructions are included in spreadsheet.

Enjoy!

As far as most of you know, I’m working on new project now – Dofus Public Database. My plan was to finish this project first, then release next version of Set Creator (DSC v1.2), which would be using DPDB for storing info about sets and items. Now I know that it will take lot of time to finish DPDB (and even more time to fill it with data). This is why I updated DSC v1.1 yesterday. But now I see that there are more things to be done in DSC…

My plan was not to update DSC v1.1 anymore. But I’ve realized that finishing Dofus Public Database will take more time than I thought. So I decided to update database in DSC – lot of new sets have been added, and DSC without information about these sets would become useless soon.

Another update is also nice :) I finished part of damage calculations module, now you can calculate damage (and other effects) for weapons you have in your sets.

Following sets have been added:

Finally, I have full ceremonial set crafted! It took a while, but now it is done.

The worst part of that set was, of course, ring – because of goddamn dead kolerat. I was killing kolerats every day, for like one week or more… I was collecting souls, then killing them on arena with nice team (about 2500 PP). Guess what? I didn’t drop it. I was checking sellrooms every day also, with same luck. Finally, yesterday I went to sellroom and found it! It costed over 1mk, but I bought it immediately.
