Damage calculator updated

It's probably not as exciting as it sounds, however tonight I pushed a major code update to the backend of the damage calculator. What's new? Well, it's hard to quite think of all the things that have changed as it's been a long time since I started this new version. Truth be told, I've been maintaining the damage calculator code that everyone's been using and this updated damage calculator code for over a year and a half now. My intention was to release the update a long time ago, but so many things changed with how I handled things underneath I was too nervous that something would badly break. But for some reason tonight I decided that it's been just long enough now (and it's a pain maintaining two versions of the calculator :P) and decided to release it. Here's a small list of things I can think of:

  • Dual cast LM (sorry, no chases yet, but maybe soon) and chase support (mostly working, some outliers)
  • Miscellaneous damage table clean up
  • Simulation of boss actions - a big disclaimer on this one. It worked OK when I originally made it, but now it seems that it doesn't always works, so no need to report issues here
I apologize in advance if something was horribly broken. Honestly, this update is more for me to clean house. Hopefully in the process things work well and the small number of visible changes made make it worth while. For the time being the old version has been kept available (link is on the calculator page). The good news, though, is all of your saved parties are compatible with both versions of the tool so really you should notice anything too different (aside from the changes above, of course!).

I hope the Realm of Parades has been treating everyone well, and best of luck in your upcoming festival pulls! Enjoy the 3rd Anniversary celebration!

In-game Assets Page Added

It's not quite as exciting as it sounds, but it could be expanded in the future. I often see posts on reddit asking for the current title screen image or home screen background music. My goal was that I could create a page which displayed a list of limited time assets as they appeared in the game. Of course, I can't scrape the past data, however going forward I hope to capture the URLs of these resources. I literally created this tool today and because of this I don't know if where I'm getting the data from is where it's always kept or if it changes. Consider this a beta :).

As a final note, the assets link directly to DeNA (as can be easily seen). This means that if DeNA takes down the resources they will no longer be available. I'm considering having the scraper download the assets and store them, however I'm not quite ready to do that. For now, enjoy!

Preliminary 4 Magicite Boss Templates Added

I have added boss templates to the Damage Calculator for the 4* Magicite fights based off the data gathered and posted by /u/Zurai001. There may be some discrepancies, as I've made them completely by hand, however once the fights are live on Global I'll update the templates with the latest data using my tools to help prevent mistakes. Best of luck in your planning!

Server maintenance complete

The server maintenance completed more or less on schedule, but I had some issues on my side with services restarting. Everything should be back up and running normally now. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Event calendar and new home page!

It's not the most elegant home page since it's just static HTML, but it's a start! Maybe someday I'll find a news management system that just manages news (and isn't an entire CMS) and doesn't look too bad out of the box (preferrably Bootstrap compatible). For now, though, this will have to do! Apologies to those who have this page bookmarked already (would have previously been the Ability Orb Cost Calculator). If you want to go directly to that page, please head over there and update your bookmarks.

Today I added a new page that will show the Global FFRK Event Calendar. If you're familiar with Kongbakpao's FFRK Calendar of Events, this is basically the same thing with some very small enhancements such as a list view and a pretty wrapper. When new dates become known (through announcements or datamining) I will update the calendar. You can also subscribe to the calendar using your favorite app that supports subscribing to iCal calendars using the link beneath the calendar itself. I hope you all find it useful!

FFRK Toolkit Server Maintenance

FFRK Toolkit's server will be going down for maintenance on 1/18/2018 between 3:00am - 5:00am EST (8am - 10am UTC). The maintenance may end early (likely will take under an hour). Thank you for your patience and understanding!
