Error in the Ep 1&2 tech damage formula

[Fanatic]

There is an error in the guide "GC & XBOX Ep 1 & 2 Technique Damage Formula" ( http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=1154 )

It lists the damage formula as:

(Tech level power + MST) / 5 x (weapon bonus x guard bonus) x character bonuses x (1 - resistance /100 of enemy)

But taking Rane for some test runs revealed that the formula is supposed to read:

(TechPower + MST) / 5 x (1 + (WeaponBonus + GuardBonus + ClassBonus) / 100) x (1 - EnemyResistance / 100)

(The result is rounded down if anyone decides to be picky about it)

On a side note, shouldn't we have a calc for this?

we did want a calc, i talked ot erupt about it, but there were too many factors and variables and it made things quite complex

Since posting, I've more or less rigged together a windows tech damage calc.

Once I've properly debugged and completed it, would you host it? If so, where would I send the binary?

[LollipopLolita]

sure i would. i was going to talk to erupt about it again, but he's been busy with work.

I suppose I will work on it when I have time, tired. I had the formula correctly figured out as well somewhere in my coding notes guess I should have posted it. Anyhow thanks for your submission.

Since no-one answered where I would send the completed program, I've sent it to the email listed in Lollipoplolita's profile. I hope this will do. If not, please tell me where I am supposed to send it.

Thanks for your submission I have added it to the download page, I was just finishing up ours so I could make the news post announcing both of them.
