[MH] Tool for calculating Ritual Path Magic costs

Luke Bunyip · 04-25-2011, 05:26 PM

I would really like to have an app* for the iPhone which helped me quickly calculate costs in MHs Ritual Path Magic. However, it just occurred to me I might make something up in Excell. However, given I am a rather lazy bunyip**, I just thought I should ask if anyone else has rigged up something like this. If you have, would you mind sharing?

*I would also like a spaceship and a pony. Still waiting, Buddha

** We do like to wallow around in billabongs (aka ponds and small lakes).

this would be really useful, but you would also have to take into account every modifier that wasn't put into the book at the beginning or write it up so you can add more later. i want one :D

Actually, a nice Javascript-based web page might be the most universal solution. Maybe with an option to submit the info as a form for the mobile users whose phones don't support JS. I've never done such a thing, but I may just try to teach myself how this weekend if I've got the gumption for it.

If you want to submit form, then you what php. but that will require more bandwith simple bece each time you want a new result that a new page load.

hence why these things are normally coded in javascript you're not realoading the page ever time you recaluclate.

Give me a page refraces for the info I'll happy give it a go

Oh yea, I could definitely see a ritual path cost calculator for both mobile and laptop use. I am working on a excel version of a calculator now. I don't know a thing about java so maybe someone could pick up the ball after I finish doing the excel version.

While Java can most deftly be used to write either an applet or an application to do the job, you would be better off using Javascript (not the same thing)

I lack the relativity books GURPS books else i would happily build it myself.

That link takes you to an energy accumulation calculator. What I'm working on is a calculator that will figure the energy required for a spell. The two together would automate the whole process.

Is this what you are looking for?

Oh yes, that is exactly what I want. It needs healing in it, but for those who know it is the same calculation as damage.

Thank you so much for the link!!
