MW:LL Force Calculator

[Stormin']

I made a quick and dirty force calculator based on the c-bill cost of assets in MW:LL for use in setting up team matches, so I thought I would open it up for public use.  It's missing a few items, since these costs came from the Wiki -- you will see those with a cost of zero (0).  I haven't had time as of yet to go into the game and confirm costs or get the missing ones.



Here's the link:

If you like it, feel free to use it and let me know how it worked for you here.  If you really like it, help me out by posting my missing costs or any corrections that need to be made.

I'll expand this in the future with descriptions, etc., if it is being used.  This one is basically a hack of the purchase menu in LC.

Enjoy!

My only suggestion would be to have the Units default/imply "1" if no entry is made otherwise.

Good idea!

Very good! BTW, I think it would be nice to have an installable version of this tool. Could you make it a java app?

Been after one of these for weeks to sort scrim loadouts out.

My suggestions would be, if we could have a way for it to calculate ammo costs, that would be great. And if there were BA kitting options, that would also be awesome.

Otherwise, great work mate.

[~SJ~ Blhurr]

Nice! I've been wanting to do one of these but I would never have thet time.

I could easily add something like a generic ammo/repair kit to flush out costs (like +10k, qty blah blah or something like that), but to tie it specifically to the chassis based on available space and type of ammo would take some work (since I'm not currently tracking that in LC).  But as is, at least the first option would keep you from running out of cbills in a match by allowing you to pad your expenses...it will just take some experience to know how much extra you will need to allow.  I can probably add that in just a bit.

[~SJ~MausGMR]

might be better to just do a separate ammo section and let people put in the quantity of what they need in total possibly?

[Stormin']

If you mean another drop-down menu item, that's what I was thinking.  That reminds me, I need to expand this out past 10 slots...

I could add another "ammo cost" field to the chassis record, then maybe have a checkbox on the line to include ammo...?  Just add the cost, instead of figuring available tonnage and ammo type...hmm.

I might expand this out more at some point.  The problem is some of this info isn't relevant to the league, and this is sort of tied into it.

[~SJ~MausGMR]

I've been doing ammo calculations for all our TOS matches at a set cbill limit for the whole team, so it would be useful for the format SJ and FSAC have been using. Also, another idea is if we could have some way of sending a list possibly to another person to import? and also if this feature could be put in, it would be could to be able to send a 'private' list that maybe wasn't viewable without a password or something, but that clarified the amount of cbills spent. This would enable teams to exchange rosters for validity but now know what their opponent was dropping with at the start of a match, and then open them after exchanging passwords at the end of the match to confirm composition.

Haha, you are describing LC's battle ready room.  Damn, I need to get this thing running.

I'll look into it and see what I can do. =)

[Raz.Creamslop]

I think these are the only values that are missing:

APC 32,000
long tom 82,510
harasser

• 38,170 prime
• 35,170 a
• 40,170 b
• 35,670 c

sulla

• 35,400 prime
• 45,400 a
• 56,150 b
• 54,400 c

just to save you a job. Will note which variants take how much of which ammo and what they all cost as and when i next play, if you intend to add that info as well.

[Stormin']

Awesome, +thanks!

Was able to update the missing values, added +weapons, +ammo, and +repair allowances (generic fix), expanded the number of rows, and added Leer's suggestion of defaulting to qty 1 when making a selection.

I'll have to rethink some things before I change up the form too much since the form is part of the existing purchase system.

I would disallow non-integer values in the input fields (i.e. "1.75"), just a minor issue if since you can never but one and 3/4 of an asset.  Silly, but simple validation to implement.
 
If your credit value goes negative, I would change the text colour to red.
 
One final feature that might be kind of cool would be to export all of the values as a text-block to be copied/pasted into forum posts or news releases, showing the composition of your team.
