Cybernations Calculator: I've added the ability to use the source code of the nation summary page to be used in the copy/paste field to automatically fill in the form. This should work without any problems in any web browser, and as such, is the recommended way to use that feature now. It is still possible to do it the old way (copying from the what the web browser displays) if preferred with any web browser, but if you're not using Firefox, you'll end up having to fill out the resources manually at the very least.

=====================
Description
=====================
A web-based comparative calculator for Cybernations that you can see the difference between what you have now and what you might think of changing your set up to.


=====================
Known Missing Calculations
=====================

[*] Navy: All
[*] Literacy: I know it's purely tech based and have some 500+ data plots of it, I just cannot seem to find the formula.
[*] Environment: Above 50% Literacy there is a -1 Environment change. Since I don't have the literacy formula, I can't really account for this change.
[*] Mars and Moon: wonders and resources.
[*] There is a part of the Happiness equation that I do not know, so any calculated changes to happiness will be slightly skewed, but not by more than 1% in the very worst case. The less the change, the less the skewing.

=====================
Notes on Usage
=====================

[*] When using the copy/paste feature, it is recommended to copy from the source code of the nation summary page, instead of the old way of copying from the page you see. If you do not, and are not using Firefox, you will have to manually fill in the resources.
[*] While you can copy/paste the summary page of any nation, a few things will be missing:

[*] If using your own nation:

[*] Events
[*] Nuclear Position -- unless you own nukes
[*] 90% Literacy -- unless tech over 700
[*] Aircraft Levels -- if tech over 500, sets to 9
[*] If using another nation, all the above will be missing, as will:

[*] Tax Rate
[*] Environment
[*] Global Radiation
[*] Happiness
[*] Citizen Income
[*] Events: These serve a dual purpose. You can put actual events that are affecting your nation as implied. You can also put factors that are that are not directly included on the face of the calculator if you need to, such as trade bonuses.
[*] Environment: When adding environment to a perfect environment (Global Radiation+1), such as when removing Border Walls, the calculator will add the full environment effect, even if your nation doesn't change from the perfect environment in game. If you know this will happen, you can counteract it by using the "Event Environment" field on the future side by as much as you need.
[*] Government: Anarchy: Does not mean you're in the state of anarchy, just that your government selected is Anarchy. The state of anarchy and the government of Anarchy are two different things. I will probably add actual selectable anarchy effects later.
[*] Happiness: There is part of this equation that I do not know, thus any happiness calculated will be slightly skewed. Since happiness directly affects income, if you lose happiness your future income will be slightly overestimated, but if you gain happiness your future income will be slightly underestimated.
[*] Nation Strength: All calculations are done assuming no units are deployed.
[*] Citizen Income: If your citizens currently make exactly $10.00, it is very likely that any positive changes you make to the future side will not be calculated as they would be in game. This is because the game sets $10.00 to be the minimum they can possibly make, even if they actually make less.

Part of what spurred me to update it is that I finally figured out all the environment calculations, so I've included those. A few of the other things I've added are the rest of the wonders, military fields and upkeep, land calculations, and more. Naval fields and upkeep aren't included in it since it'd be difficult to extract individual units from just a number on the status screen. So much has changed in the calculator that despite all my troubleshooting I'm sure there are still some latent bugs in there, so let me know if you find any.]]> C2Talon NewsTue, 06 Oct 2009 19:39:58 -0700 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,54,54#msg-54 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,54,54#msg-54 C2Talon NewsThu, 28 Aug 2008 19:10:46 -0700 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,32,32#msg-32 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,32,32#msg-32 C2Talon NewsTue, 30 Oct 2007 14:09:26 -0700 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,31,31#msg-31 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,31,31#msg-31
It's a decent web-based comparative calculator that you can see the difference between what you have now, and what you might think of changing your set up to and such. I'm not going to go into too much detail about it here, as I'm sure most can figure most of it out. The only thing that may be annoying is manually entering the data, which was in the works to rectify, but like I said I haven't been able to finish it.

I had been looking for a different host for the site for some time now. Since my next payment for the old host was about to be due, I switched to a different host that's been around just as long as the old one, and offered much more for less cost. This move was obvious.

As for the Jedi Academy server switching, that came as a delightful surprise. I got an email yesterday saying that they were switching their servers around and to sum it up, the server is back on the old IP. Ever since they moved me from it certain applications wouldn't recognize the new IP, so it's kind of nice to have working toys again. The new/old IP is 69.93.11.107, and I have ja.c2t.us pointing to it already, though it might take a day or so to propagate.]]> C2Talon NewsMon, 27 Aug 2007 17:35:51 -0700 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,28,28#msg-28 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,28,28#msg-28 C2Talon NewsSun, 27 May 2007 20:37:39 -0700 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,27,27#msg-27 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,27,27#msg-27

That is likely to be the last thing I do for the site until summer break hits.]]> C2Talon NewsTue, 24 Apr 2007 08:44:54 -0700 http://c2t.org/read.php?2,19,19#msg-19 http://c2t.org/read.php?2,19,19#msg-19 CrazyStealth ForumTue, 03 Apr 2007 13:21:43 -0700 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,11,11#msg-11 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,11,11#msg-11ServerSpy. It basically says the last time someone was on it was February 28. That's almost a full week it's been down. They did just change over to a new system, so I kind of gave them some leeway when the server was intermittently down for a week or so. But for a whole week after they seemly have fully switched over the their new system?

Of course with their new system, I didn't have an account anymore so I couldn't make a support ticket, so I sent the host an email saying the server has been down a week. The turn-around for the reply was under 2.5 hours, so it wasn't too bad. They set up an account on their new system, set up the server, and refunded me my last month's payment. I don't think it's too bad, considering I haven't really been using it lately, but I'm sure if I was playing it everyday like I used to I would have caught it much earlier. Oh well, a free month isn't all that bad.

I never wanted an IP change, but I guess it'll have to be that way. The new server IP for the Jedi Academy server is 74.52.117.180:29070. I already set up some DNS for it, so it can also be reached at ja.c2t.us:29070.]]> C2Talon NewsTue, 20 Mar 2007 09:58:16 -0700 http://c2t.org/read.php?2,5,5#msg-5 http://c2t.org/read.php?2,5,5#msg-5 Evre1 ForumSat, 31 Mar 2007 22:04:09 -0700 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,4,4#msg-4 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,4,4#msg-4 C2Talon NewsSun, 18 Feb 2007 12:44:14 -0800 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,2,2#msg-2 http://c2t.org/read.php?1,2,2#msg-2forum up. It only took several months, but I finally got around to it. It might find some use I suppose. Who knows? I switched completely from using phpbb as the backend I was using for this news page to the new forum, so I can say adios to phpbb for good. I will not miss it at all.

Some may notice the site design almost matches the one I did for Clan YV. Well, you would be right, because I basically just copy/pasted it. It just is infinitely easier to use a template I had already done and modify it, than to start from scratch. I haven't really modified it much, and I only really changed the inner-workings of the site to match it for now.

Oh, and one day I'll get around to making the image gallery thing pretty, with thumbnails and all. One day...

If there's any problems you encounter on the site, or have any comments/questions/etc, just post it to the forum. Unlike the phpbb I was using before, this forum has a RSS feed, so I'll know if you post even if I don't check the site for weeks or even months like I normally do. Thanks, and enjoy.]]> C2Talon NewsSun, 18 Feb 2007 12:44:50 -0800
