ATMA 5.04 and new DropCalc - Jarulf - 02-27-2004

I wrote an old tutorial on how it all worked back in 1.08. Almost all of it still applies. The main differences which is not correct is in the quality calculations. The TC part should all still apply though. It is found here:

A discussion of the code for determine the quality of the drops is here.

This should cover most of what needs to be updated from the link that Jarulf gave.

ATMA 5.04 and new DropCalc - Jarulf - 02-29-2004

Thrugg,

Can't one simply save both the chance for each specific path (and sum up to the value I have) AND store the 1-chance and multiply (one would need to pass along different values downwards for multiple pick cases and dependant on negative or not) but that seems the only difference, no?

Jarulf,Feb 27 2004, 12:53 PM Wrote:What is your actual algorithm for going through TCs calculting the probabilities? (If you want to keep it generally secret, perhaps discussions with PM would be OK). I think the recursive way I have done it is good, simple and works. For the negative pick AND going above 6 items, it need to be adjusted (I think it handle all other cases except possibly handling quality determination if it various with how you get to an item).
I have no problem sharing the code but I use some rather intense algorithms/data structures as well as lots of C++ subclassing to deal with all the various versions. I also use recursive function calls although I originally planned on using an alternate heap structure in case the function stack was too deep for older machines. The basics here is that I construct a tree graph for the entire TC system where the terminating leaves of the tree are atomic TCs, regular items or named items e.g uniques/sets. At the end of the calculations, the atomic TCs are expanded.

Negative picks are branch points so I construct alternate pathways for these. The core code to do the computation is below but there are so many auxillary functions and data structures involved that you would need to get the code from me if you are interested. It is within the Drop Calculator GUI that calls are made to compute final chances of an item being of a specific quality.

   double newnodropfrac = pow(nodropfrac, 1.0*players);                      // raise to power of players
   int newnodrop = int(remainingTC * newnodropfrac / (1.0 - newnodropfrac));
   return newnodrop;

Yes, pretty much. Where you start with 0 and sum as you find new paths down to a certain item, Hakai can start with 1 and multiply by (1-x) as each new path to an item crops up, then apply a global (1-x) to all values at the end.

I believe ATMA is now going to offer both.
