Genie Affinity Calculator

Asterelle - Sanctuary_1381265973

A lot of people were having problems accessing the site and I received a generous offer from Vixre - Harshlands for a new web host. It looks like a good improvement so sounds good

The new URL is:
http://aster.ohmydays.net/pw/geniecalculator.html

I'll make the old one redirect to this one if it comes back. Thanks Vixre
While I was at it I renamed it to Genie Affinity Caculator since that seems more appropriate.

You can find this tool and more on the wiki:

by far the best genie tool out there, excellent work!

i have some suggestions to improve your alwesome tool;

it is still nescessary for me to switch between your tool and the genie skill list. it would be great if you would display the effects of the particular skill in a seperate "effects" window next to "skils" and "genie".

like someone already noted, at times we find an old genie on an alt or a cheap one in a catshop that might be used for a special task. in that case the level, luckypoints and affinities are fixed. therefore it would be awesome if it were possible to input our genie "skill parameters" to see on the "skills" window which skills the available genie can learn and wich cannot be learnt by graying them out.

also some genieskill-levels require a certain genie-level. so if we input a genie with level 61 e.g. it might be handy to not only see what genie skills are available, but also what max level the lvl61 genie can learn, indicated by a small nuber on the skill icon maybe. other skills require a minimum ammount of energy/vit at a certain lvl, there is no option to input vit dex srg and mag, yet

a filter option for skills that are only useable under certain conditions, like air or water.

a filter option for skills that benefit from extra dexterity and/or strength

show the benefit of more dex/stg directly in "effects" window. e.g. a genie with 80 dex and lvl 10 expell "...for 9+2 seconds"

Thanks so much for the the input! Those are all great ideas. I'll keep them in mind whenever I feel like working on this some more.

I'm not sure if the people who would use this would ever check the "beginner" forum heh. We need another forum for this stuff.


I have updated the tool so it is like 1000x more useful. You can now enter in your genie's level and lucky points and it will update the skill grid to show you what can be added.

I agree...there needs to be a section on genies in the Class Discussion area.

*makes a note to suggest that to frankie*

Thanks for the idea!b:thanks

fantastic update!

thank you, Asterelle. b:thanks

Added a class filter and ability to filter by terrain (so no air-only or water-only skills if you prefer).

The only thing left to do I'd think would be to add in the skill descriptions into the pop-ups. But that's alot of typing

Good to see you still working on ways to improve this, Ast. Thanks again for the fantastic tool.b:thanks

Also, I really like your new signature.b:victory

Added skill descriptions! Adapted some code from ecatomb for them.
Let me know if they are annoyingly big or if you think anything needs fixing.

The only possible thing to add now is IE support... I am dreading that since IE has a notoriously bad toolset to help developers lol.

Like the tooltip/description update!

Do you have Win7/Vista? Try getting the IE10 Preview platform and see if the next version of IE renders that page properly. I'm still on XP S:, so can't test it for you.

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. If there is another update it would be to add IE support (uggh) and maybe improve the quality of the tooltips so they won't pop up instantly and avoid clipping.

Nice tool,

I didn't have much time to play with it, but noticed the pic for True Emptiness wasn't correct. b:thanks

You are absolutely correct about the inconsistencies and they don't really matter. Its an excellent tool and very useful. Thanks again!

Ehh yes and no... the game is inconsistent with the use of icons between the "skill inquiry" window and when it is on your genie. Oxygen Bubble and Second Wind also have this problem.

One skill even has an inconsistent name: Enrage/Frenzy.

Forgive me if this has been said before. Geniskill Hollow Fist (lvl 8). The affinity you show is wrong. the geni need Wood 4 and 4 Earth. Not Fire.
Great app. Thx 4 the effort you put in it. b:pleased

Looks awesome, hope u cn make it work with IE soon!

bug:
LV12 skill phoenix dance is archer and cleric only, but if class-filter is set on cleric then the skill gets wrongly filtered.

suggestion:
the terrain filter is excellent. i would suggest to change the filter selection from dropdown to checkbox.
aside dragon temple there is no real need for any water skills, but a pk or tw genie will be often used on land and in air. currently one has to switch between air and land.
if someone has air and water checked e.g. you could add tiny "cloud" and "waterdrop" icons to mark the skills that are usable on a certain terrain only.

I will sticky it back.
