W3 Damage and Armor Calculator v0.3

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
This is the first ressource I bring to you, a little tribute. ;)
As I noticed that some people like calucators for damage and armor, I did one on my own because those I tested had bugs or did not include either armor or damage calculation. So here is one including both plus hero attributes. Have fun with this! =)


To those who get errors when trying to fill in values:
- If there's just a '-' in the input, it errors. That's logical, but as soon as I have an idea for making that more user-friendly I will.
- If that's not what you did, please tell me what you put into what field, or (what would be best) post a screenshot.


I need some help with attack cooldown calculation.
I looked it up in the game constants and it says that with each agility point cooldown is decreased by 0.02.
Now I ask myself: Does this actually mean that you need 0.02 seconds less, or is the current cooldown reduced by 2%?
Also, what is the maximum attack rate for units? There is a certain limit, changing from unit to unit. How is that calculated?




0.2b

Did something about the reset buttons (didn't reset all the things they should).
I also added some lines so maybe that's it already, would be nice if you tried it again.

Revised armor calculation, should be working now

I don't know whether it's working on Windows Vista, it would be really cool if someone tested that. =)

Also, I'm not sure whether the formula for damage reduction is right. It's currently (armor * 0.06)/(armor * 0.06 + 1). Does somebody know whether that's the way it's calculated?

I totally agree with you, several faults I did came to my mind right after I uploaded it, so I worked on this, but somehow forgot to upload the thing.
So I changed the design and added some options.

One question about the cooldown: How is that calculated? I looked it up in the game constants and it says that with each agility point cooldown is decreased by 0.02.
Now I ask myself: Does this actually mean that you need 0.02 seconds less, or is the current cooldown reduced by 2%?
Also, what is the maximum attack rate for units? There is a certain limit, changing from unit to unit. How is that calculated?

Also, in the constants it's said that hero's have a base defense of -2 and that with each agility point it's increased by 0.3. But as I had a look on the Mountain King (level 1), he had 2 armor. He should have 1.3, so I guess 1 should be displayed. I'm confused. oO

And third, the formula for the armor in percent is wrong (compared to those displayed ingame), but I couldn't find any other. Somebody know how it's calculated?

I don't know whether I find the time and patience to do what you said about 2 units fighting each other, but it's really an interesting point. But before I haven't get behind these 2 points, it doesn't make sense.

Dear Element of Water, I won't.
I've been aware of the armor thing since I uploaded the program and mentioned it in the description. I know about the problems the program has, but the damage calculation is fine. Thanks for your opinion, but help would be appreciated.

Pretty useful tool(Its easy to use and its accurate to say at least).
So i will give it 4/5,because it still needs some improvements before

Sorry, I dunno what's wrong. I downloaded it myself to make sure we really use the same version and I don't have those problems (on two different computers). So as long you've got the latest version and didn't hit your computer I don't know what's causing this. Anybody else having this bug?

If you still get errors please tell me what you put into what field or better post a screenshot. Thanks.
