I know you could probably do this by hand already, but an automated version would be nice.It wouldn't be practical at all. Additional variables that cannot be accounted for: How often you get hit (would have to change for avoid and which boss you're fighting), which direction you're facing, if you have to move back to where you were, and how much you get hit for (which would vary massively depending on the boss and your max HP). So much would muddy up the calculation that any number I might put out would be totally worthless to anyone.
Updated to v2.0!
Here's the Excel 2007 download:
Corsair Calcs v2.0 (Excel)
And the Excel 97-2003 download:
Corsair Calcs v2.0 (Excel 97-2003)
Updates for v2.0:
- Dropped support for Open Office. If you really want me to make it for Open Office again, PM me and I'll figure something out
- Added a level section for monsters. Damage now scales down if your level is below the monster's level
- Added a Maple Warrior checkbox so you can turn off MW without changing the level every time
- Added a Ring Selection (for the Adventurer rings) in the equipment section
- Added a Critical section to the front page
- Moved the HP and MP section to it's own new page
- Updated the equipment section with +% stats, made them work properly (or what I currently believe to be properly) in the general information section, and tried to make everything on the equipment page readable in spite of these new additions
- Updated for the Adventurer updates: Skill damage and Battleship HP
- Removed the Data page and hid its information elsewhere. Y'all don't need to look at that anyway
To come next version:
- Better Battleship formula once we find out exactly what it is. I just estimated for this version.
- A massive (massive!) upgrade to the HP/MP section is planned. I haven't started on it yet, but be sure that it will come.
