EQ Set Builder Readme

This software is used to build your eqset and calculate the stats and regens. It still has some minor flaws, but it works.

This is actually an excercise program for my C# course, but hey, so what? If it has any use to you, use it.

Features and requirements

  • Works under Windows (at least XP)
  • Requires Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
  • Supports racial stats.
  • Supports bound items.
  • Saving and loading works. Both features use xml format.
  • Doesn't support multislot eq. Yet. Will be fixed someday.
  • Uses slightly modified Equipment list by Sepe. He deserves a big Thank You.
  • Uses slightly modified Character Creator race file. Thanks to Arghun for making the Character Creator.

    Usage

  • Run the program.
  • Select your race if you want to. To use racial stats, check the box "Use racial stats". Default is unchecked.
  • Select eq. The left side checkbox will include/exclude eq from result stats. Default is checked.
  • To calculate bound item stats, check the box at to right side.
  • Have fun and let me know if the software was useful. I appreciate feedback.

    Eq list

    As stated before, Eq Set Builder uses Sepe's eqlist. It is located in the "DATA" folder. "Slightly modified" means all the approximate values, for example "-20-21" have been cut down to "-20". This is for the sake of the code. I may modify this in the future, but it is also easy just to edit the xml file and set the accurate value yourself. Same thing with adding eq.

    Race list

    This is also a modified from Arghun's version. The only difference is racial charisma, between wis and siz. This file is also located in the "DATA" folder. And also easily editable. Here's the syntax example for a single race entry: 

                                                         ski spe ski spe
Name        :str:dex:con:int:wis:cha:siz:exp:spr:hpr:max:max:cos:cos
Ajoatling   : 77: 77: 77: 77: 77:100: 60: 90: 27: 27: 95: 95: 90: 90

    Saving and loading

    Both are operative. Equipment set files are saved and loaded using XML format. Default folder is "Saved Sets", which contains necessary XSL and CSS-files. These files are used when XML file is loaded into a web browser.

    Known issues

  • Eqs with identical short descs don't work quite right.
