Tomorrow afternoon I will release the first ever version of Easy Updater. A few of you have shown interest in this program and I'm requesting that you try it out and suggest updates or tell your problems with this program.

Please keep in mind that this will be a alpha version meaning:
1. Not all equipment will be supported in this early version
2. Nothing but some equipment and basic training shall be supported
3. It could have bugs in its programming that I did not discover myself. (please report these)

I hope you will enjoy this and help me make this the best method of updating thus far.

Also since Raditz is the only one to reply to the last thread his equipment and mine will be guaranteed to be on this version.

Possible Next Version Functions:
1. Automatic Update Files Formatted for posting (with math shown at Vegeta's request) saved to the computer.
2. Finish Updater to include all possible equipment
3. Add in spar support-done
4. Add in consumable support
5. Battle support
6. Quest support
7. Custom equipment
8. Add on equipment support
9.Extra Rules ie. items that take up two spots, consecutive training, etc
10. Saving off Custom Equipment
11. Job support
12. Inscription support (both on equipment and the act)
13. Building support
14. Auction support
14. DP/RPC distribution
15. SP usage
16. Token support
17. Super forms
18. attack stat calculator

I have high hopes for the future of the project and coding wise its really not difficult so it should turn out well.

Also I'll be posting a link to download it from when it is released if that was unclear.

Ooo, sounds interesting. Make sure to notify me when it gets out, 'cause I really hope my computer will be able to use it. Do you need a spreadsheet program to use it?

No its going to be a java based application that is stand alone which was one of my goals since I don't have excel either.

Right now I have it taking in a text file in a certain format that will contain current stats and have the user then use a series of drop down boxes to select type of training, current equipment and stuff like that. After that it has a calculate button that will display your new stats.

Won't this take the mathematics out of the updating though? It sounds like it would open up a whole new door to confusing updates, considering it won't be showing any of the work.

A lot of people have trouble managing updates as it is.

One of the features I was considering for a future version was automatically formatting the information into an organized update so I've taken into consideration some aspects that could potentially make an updater's life harder rather than easier.

If someone could organize equipment into categories of where it is equipped and provide the stat benefits that would speed up completion of this thing significantly and if it does not give training gains then it can be neglected until later.

Is it possible to make a version where the person using it plugs in the stat benefits of their equipment themselves? The site often changes as I browse items and think something is too weak or too strong and I would hate to nullify what you're working on by making changes. The same thing happened to a super forms spreadsheet the old Goten was working on.

Idea: Make it so that everyone can enter their own equipment and save it to a version on their own computer, than edit it later if need be.

Ok I think I'm an hour or two of work away from getting the basic one finished a bug checked as for the custom equipment, I'll add it to the possible list of functions to add in. I'm going to change my first post to keep track of all the asked for functionality and what I think is missing.

I'd be happy to maintain the program if you told me of equipment changes though.

As for Raditz's suggestion of saving custom equipment I'm not sure coding that would be a simple task unless I save off a text file of the equipment and have a loader for that as well.

Update: Raditz's suggestion is forcing me to rework the framework of the application to be more efficient and allow for loading custom equipment functionality. It will be finished today at some point but not much equipment will be implemented this version will most likely be just to get feedback.

Notes you must load a file before clicking calculate (there is no safety net currently)
the txt file should be formatted as follows:
PL:10664
Ki:5332
Str:1536
Spd:1280
Tou:1160
Stam:1476
Vit:1160
Det:19
Char:19
Int:38
Exp:390
Zeni:5741
SP:14
Dp:3
RPC:11

I hope you enjoy it and I realize there are only 4 pieces of equipment currently on it but programming in equipment is tedious.

The 'Other Gains' button doesn't work, so only what is shown can be calculated.

Other Gains isn't implemented yet. I plan to make that a menu so you can input quest,saga, and battle gains later.

6 downloads already so I expect more comments, concerns, and hopefully praise.

Well, other then that then, it's great. Nice program Bardock, I may start using it myself when it's completed.

I'd just like to add though, you really should do as Alex said and make it so that people can enter their own equipment.

Alex? that was my suggestion, lol.

EDIT: Just downloaded it, how do you enter your current stats?

Make a txt. file using something simple like Notepad (Which automaticaly saves as a regular txt. file)

Using the exact format Bardock stated above enter your current stats then save it. When you have the actual program open go to the upper left corner where it says 'File'. Click that then click Open. Find the txt. file you just saved and double click it.

Your current stats are now entered.

Oh, thanks. This will make my updates so much easier! Oh, and Bardock, you said something about organizing items into slots (head, arms, etc.)? I'll start that.
