Damn it man. Don't play with my emotions like that. Brawling is my second weapon, and you just dropped it like that. My heart sunk and I thought I was back to being a little trail hopper.

<<Those of you having trouble getting it to work, are you using MSIE?>>

Am using MSIE. And Yay! It was the control V paste that was the problem. :)

From this computer I have to use the eScape rather than wizard, perhaps the copy/paste from that messes up too?

Thanks for the help, is fun to see the requirements.

>>Jrendel>>Now put them other programs up - skill sorter - and that other on I like

I asked about the skill sorter, to see if there'd be any interest and got no response. Might work on it anyway, just for a challenge.

And what "other" one do you mean?

BTW, I also started building a vault manager some time back. It's basic function works, sorting allt he contents into separate areas like the skill sorter does ... different windows for each of the drawers, hooks, etc. But it's only good for premies since you can get the readout from the vault books. I'll get back to working on that one someday, although I likely will wait until I can do it in VBasic since trying to make an output script to rearrange stuff for you would be a PAIN in JScript. Best I can think of is it could output the script and you copy/paste it yourself into a new script.

Well, now, that's real frickin descriptive. <flail> Still have no clue which one you mean. Well let's run down the list.

Old circle calc, newp. Herb reminder, newp ... new one's better. Vault manager, don't think I showed you that one. Oh wait ... are you talking about the herb tally one, the one where you paste in the contents of your herb container and it gives you a tally of what you have?

If so, that one would probably make a good companion to the reminder chart already up, but it needs work. Over time I have found the tally doesn't quite work as intended, I need to tweak it a bit. Also, when it tallies up "prepped" herbs, it's looking for them in the forms I usually prefer them in myself, dunno how easily I could make it changeable to different people. <ponders> I'll work on that one.

Though I wonder if maybe I should wait and see what all the changes to Substances, Alchemy and Foraging are going to do to it.

I took a look at the Zmud thing, wonder if there is anyway to put your apps into it. Anyone else looked at it or use it?

Yeah yeah..off topic.

No update to Krin's site is official without one thing....

There's been no request for a link!

It's a tradition!

Uploaded an update to the circle calc tonight. Since Jent has confirmed the 80-rank starting point across the board, I implemented that, and tweaked the weapon req's to recognize brawling. A few more tweaks, mostly aesthetic in nature, will come sometime in the near future. But for all practical purposes, this thing is up and running, ready to go. Enjoy.

I didn't really see the need for that, and adding a function to track that would have made it unnecessarily (IMHO) more complex.

If you want to see what ranks you need in all your skills to reach a given circle, that's already built in ... just paste your skills in the right-hand window, click the circle next to "Difference" and set the Circle box to what circle you are looking at (can click on the box itself then type in the circle, or click on the +/- buttons to raise/lower it one circle at a time).

One word of caution: some people have said the calc wasn't working, and I see why. I built it on the presumption that they would be using CTRL-V to paste their skills into the box and it is set to detect the keypress (ONKEYUP event) to trigger the function that updates the page's database (this is temporary, for purpose of calcs ... no, I do NOT store any of this information for any purpose, it is all on your computer, not the server where my webpage is located ... had a few people ask me if I was tracking skills, heh) with the skills entered so it can do its calcs. If you use the Edit menu option to paste, it won't trigger and update itself. I have a fix in mind for this, but until I implement it, here's a temporary solution: after pasting in your skills, click on the text box itself then press one of the arrow (cursor control) keys. This triggers the ONKEYUP event and all works normally.

If there's a widespread call for it, I will look into adding what you mentioned. But if you already know what you need to make 70th, does it really matter how many ranks away from 157th your 3rd lore is? Or is good enough to know that it has achieved 156th? (those numbered pulled totally out of the air, of course ... if that's where your 3rd lore actually falls, then dammit, it's time to hit the race track ...)

>>Hawk>>Uh, 80-rank start across the board for what exactly?

Top 5 survivals. They start at 80 for 30th then go up from there based on the 5/5/6 (#1/2), 4/4/5 (#3/4) and 4/4/4 (#5) req for 31-70, 71-100 and 100+ zones respectively.

Come, come...

Just because something is complex doesn't make it necessarily time consuming. If that was the case do you think I would have ever finished the fo... ah, um, different rewrites I've done? Throw it in there, let us all see what you can do. You don't want to see our upcoming releases happening tomorrow anyways, do ya?

But the thieves have one that does!!! Sheesh, this is so unfair.

The calc looks great, Krin. I can get some use out of it, now. :)

Oh, and just a typo note, you need a space between the number and "total ranks". Mine right now says, "You have 3145total ranks."

Other than that, looks great, I'll be using it for sure. Though it tells me I need 74 survival ranks for 40th, which reminds me I need to keep training... cries

Where am I going?
And why am I in this handbasket?

Nah, I did it because I had several people asking for it in IM's and email. Making it one less thing the GM's can hurl at me is just a bonus. :-D

Made a couple of small updates to the pics page.

First, I added the "New Pics" category, so that dropdown menu at the top of the page that has had only one category up to this point now has 2. The second category is the one which will contain only the pics that have been added since the last time the page was updated, so if that's all you want to see, they are now easier to find.

Also, I have added a link to the pics page on the "Misc Bits" page, so there's another avenue for finding it.
