Cheers, and keep up the good work.

Do you mean the off-white text is too hard to read on the grey background? If so, I could make the text more white, or maybe the background slightly darker?

yes and more white would be nice.

I increased the colour of the white text from #AAA to #BBB hopefully that should be ok now?

 

[Deloitte]

yes me likes!

Help required for new feature

I'm working on quite a big feature for the next installment of my extension. I plan on parsing units on both the overview and hacks and adding another section to their tooltip to show the ratio that unit gets on certain other units.

So, for example, if I mouseover my Strikers, the tooltip will tell me how many PA or CW I can kill with those Strikers. And if I mouseover my Hippies, the tooltip will tell me how many Gards I can block with those Hippies.

Obviously this is quite a large task so I'd be greatful if people could post here what ratios units get on their main targets (say Striker v PA but not Striker v Hypnotists), preferably with a BR to back up the ratio.

Cheers!

can we jump straight to the extension that will analyze my hax/spies and send my attacks for me?

Doesn't this take a lot of fun out of the game? I really enjoy thinking about what damage my troops will do on a certain player with a certain set-up. You're basically telling people what to send with this addition. Takes a whole lot of fun out of it when it comes to experimenting with your route and taking a gamble at times.
This is a tactical game where you have to make tactical decisions. Would be a shame if a program would make those for you imo.

Don't worry, the extension will play the game for you soon enough. :roll:

 

[rooney]

polo, can you make this new feature optional at least, i would prefer you didnt implement it tbh, but if you are at least make it optional

 

[lavadog]

hehe, I think the extension is great as it is tho polo I spend quite some time browsing statistics from on there so kudos for that.

However I don't like to see it evolve into "more than just a tool". If you'd implement this it might take a bit away from the gamblin and figuring stuff out by yourself aspect.

Then again, as long as it doesn't violate the EULA or any other rule set for the game, you're free to do as you please I think this is a pretty interesting discussion to kinda see what we consider as fair and allowable extension tools

 

[pinpower]

i think it just stating ratios (which could be gained from asking around/checking forums etc) anyway it cant really hurt and isnt really taking anything away other than saving you a bit of time.

might help newer members as well...
meh

[Alcibiades]

it will be very useful, and i don't think it will 'make or break' the game. Since those ratios will be (presumably) ratios on pure units, and unless your target is massing only one unit (and thusly deserves to be killed ) you still have to gamble and predict and work through defence/AR etc.

All that being said, I would like the feature to be optional and I'm sure that won't be tricky, there are many options for his extension already, one more won't be the end of the world.

If you're really afraid of losing the 'gambling' aspect of the game, just pick a random ID from your search page, send and log out That, sir, is gambling!

 

[lavadog]

funny you say that, I actually did that once Got raped by AR tho

And pin, that's my point, this would make it obsolete to look for ratios and just present them on a plate to you

Anyways, just my two cents, I know it won't really matter to polo if I disapprove of it

 

[Alcibiades]

join the club my friend, we have pins and badges and everything!

Also, ratios are overrated, they're a useful guideline, and not much more. Maybe he can fuzz the exact ratio so it's a little more 'risky'.

 

[Garrett]

might help newer members as well...

Only if new(er) members know about the extension, use firefox for the game, and shell out a donation.

You are right it could help newer peoples that already have it, but definitely is probably not something that a newbie would be aware of right out of the gate.

Which has always been a point thta keeps me flip flopping on whether or not this extension should be allowed for the functionality it has. Not that I'm the deciding factor.

 

[Steve_God]

Max ratios for most units are already on the forums already... would be a handy addon for others to have built into the game.

There's always the 'random factor' built into the game which means they're not 100% accurate all the time!
