Reviews
27th July 2012 Magtheridon96: This thing rocks. It's like a Universal Warcraft III Tool for both players and modders :D Highly Recommended! Well done.
Ralle
Google reports this as malware. If you can update it, it'd be great.
eejin
Is no longer reported as malware and works properly.
@ text colorizer, here a few suggestions

1. to the left of the 'clear text' button, there should be the following color options: that gold color wc3 uses for everything, that green used for lumber, red used on crit, green used with shadowstrike (slightly less important), no color, every defined custom color, so it generates plane text, i know thats what the 'colorize all with white' is suposed to be for?, also it should only colorize the selected text

2. little divider thingys that show aproximately how big a tooltip is, for screen space, so you can make sure what you type doesnt extend to the next line where you dont want it to, in most cases

3. a nice little clipboard that remembers the last 3-4 copy/paste, and/or 'texts'

4. and its probably to much to ask but spellcheck? :) there are a few opensource spellcheckers out there, all ud need is a dictionary file, to get wrong spellings (im not even asking for suggested spellings, just something to know if something is wrong) btw what lang u code it in?

great program btw, not to many other basic tools are needed

Ok. I'll make something like that. What about every defined custom color, I'll not make it, because it requies a lot of space. There will only most important colors: gold, red, green, white.


2. little divider thingys that show aproximately how big a tooltip is, for screen space, so you can make sure what you type doesnt extend to the next line where you dont want it to, in most cases


That will be not very easy, because I must measure tooltips' width in Warcraft and apply Warcraft 3 font, for maps with custom font size will be wrong.
But I'll try to do something.


3. a nice little clipboard that remembers the last 3-4 copy/paste, and/or 'texts'


Tool already has copy/paste functions. What did you mean? Little box with showing last copied text fragments?


4. and its probably to much to ask but spellcheck? :) there are a few opensource spellcheckers out there, all ud need is a dictionary file, to get wrong spellings (im not even asking for suggested spellings, just something to know if something is wrong) btw what lang u code it in?


I'll search some spellcheckers. But I don't think that I make it in close time.

And very big thanks to you for this useful comment!!!


11th place in the top 20 tools, nice...


Really? I've looked and it was on 13th place.

13th? Either I counted wrongly, or it changed the past few days.

EDIT: Now its 14th

@defined colors, i mean, when you choose to make a part of your tooltip, lets say black, then that exact black would show up there for you to choose from, since odds are if you use a color, your gonna need that same color more than once

@ clipboard, yes exactly, it should save copys of all the text you input into it, there should also be a way to paste your text, already formatted, and then it could add the colors to it. (if you hit,generate text, it gives you the formatted code to paste in right, well you should be able to reverse this process, to get your old tooltip back into the program, for modification. (it would detect the codes, and automatically apply the colors)

thanks for taking input ^^

Ok, I'll make color buttons I've said, and buton "Recent Colors", which when clicked shows a drop down list with recently used colors.

About clipboard, I'll see what I can do.
Now you can copy and paste colored text (and I found that you can also copy colored text from MS Word).

I already have tried to make that programm automaticaly applies color codes, but it was hard and I made for now only detection and removing colors. But I'll try until I'll make that.


thanks for taking input ^^

No problem =)
I always liked to get some good advice.

Spell Calculator

Spell like flame strike, Full Damage Deal
Full Damage Interval
Half Damage Deal

Is there a tool like that, that counts the damage deal using the spell?

but I could not open the calculator, gave an error when I open the calculator

It's most likely that you don't have installed Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5

Version 5.0

- Temporary removed new color dialog in Text Colorizer because it didn't generate all possible colors
- Temporary removed search for user-typed color-codes
- Added option for selecting code types in Text Colorizer (Warcraft III, vBulletin, Html)

Very nice program, need to aprove it !

But they're is an tooltip error : "Sides per Die" (in dice<->damage)

And mbe add in the "dice <-> damage" a "Armor/Damage Reduction" zone (with a tick for active it), for know how many damage we will deal on an enemy with some armor ^^

Thanks for comment!!! Long time was waiting for it...

In next version I'll merge "Dice <-> Damage" and "Armor <-> Damage Reduction" tabs and add "taken damage" field.
(Also I'll improve color dialog in text colorizer, and maybe in next-next version add color code applier(with it you could edit old tooltips))

But I don't understand what error you meant? In "Dice <-> Damage" and "Armor <-> Damage Reduction" tabs there are no tooltips! If you have meant that error appeared when you done something, please describe, what you were doing, and what numbers were typed in fields.

i'm very interested in the formulas & their derivation for the damage calculation, especially when min & max damage is given, how the base, dice and sides are computed...
reason is, i want to create an Excel sheet where i write desired min & max damage while Excel generates working base, dice and sides values.
so, for normal units (no heros):
min = base + dice
max = base + dice * sides

base = ? max - min ?
dice = ?
sides = ?

ok... little bit math:
base = min - dice
base = max - dice * sides
base = base
min - dice = max - dice * sides
now after which one should i solve? sides?
min - dice - max = - dice * sides
-min + dice + max = dice * sides
sides = (dice - min + max) / dice
and now what?
or do i have to use binomial formula? to get the dice * sides apart?

edit:
instead of advanced maths, i guess the following will also do it:
condition:
- keep dice > 0, because when dice = 0, attacks are completely disabled!
decided for following rule:
- keep dice = 1
resulting formula:
- dice = 1
- base = min - 1
- sides = max - base

Just used it for the tooltip colorizer, great tool.

Not sure if I'm missing something but it would be nice to be able to flip between raw text and processed text.
