A little off topic. Ruvanal, should we ignore about anything that Arreat Summit says because everytime I quote from there I get slapped? Arreat, the site produced by Blizz, they have more erroneous info on there than you can shake a stick at. Also, for all the more knowledgable - a question. Where did you guys go to get all the info you have? Reverse engineer the game or ...? Just curious.
The data used in the calculator is the same as data the game uses, extracted from the mpq-files.
I don't like the design of the affix calculator any longer (I'd like to see it validate as xhtml 1.0, which it surely doesn't right now), and I'm thinking about printing all the rows with javascript to make the code more simple. However, there are no plans for this right now (I haven't played d2 for a LONG time now, I'm really not interested in doing any changes since patch 1.10 may be out any day, and I'm fighting cancer since november last year, so I have other things to think about), but when patch 1.10 comes out, I'll talk to Helgonet about re-doing the page (it'll be created in php instead of asp, if anyone likes to know).
The formulas used in the calculator come from players that have looked into the game code, and have come to my awareness by Ruvanal and Apocalypse Demon. Further, I've done lots of testings to see that things really work as they are supposed to.
Ruvanal:
I expect you to help me out when (if) the new affix calc is being build, 'cause I've forgot many things when I haven't been that active in the d2-community ;)
