DynamicDropRateCalculator

This standalone software is used to automate drop rate statistical analysis.

Goal:

• Process and display statistical information about drop table and with various modes.
• Allow changes and additions to drop tables

Specifics:

• Allow users to build or load loot tables, set/change modes, set mode parameters, and display a wealth of statistical information.
• Allow users to pick a mode, the number of items they want, ask for days or crates or rolls, ask for what % option they want and output general stats as well as what the base item % would need to be to meet the goal.

Storage Format:

CSV file with a header in the format of:

<Tier Name>:<Tier Weight>,<Tier Name>:<Tier Weight>,......

Each following line in the format of:

<objectName>,<roll Weight>,<Tier Name>

Example File:

Unspoken:.005,Godly:.895,Legendary:1.1,Epic:8,Rare:20,Common:30,Poor:40
Godly Weapon,.3,Godly                  
Stone, 50,Common            
healStone ,10.2,Rare           

Modes:

Once you have a file, you must pick a mode. Each mode uses the file drastically different, so be sure to understand what the weights do for each mode.

• Basic Chance mode:
  • Will calculate stats as if there is not an initial tier selection system, using weights, outputing one item.
• Tier Mode:
  • Will roll each tier first, selecting a tier based on the tier weight. It will then ask if you want to use the internal weights, or even odds. (Kem does even odds within tier)
• Max Items Mode:
  • Will roll each item from top to bottom once, with each either being success or failure, outputting multiple items.

User Options:

Take in possible statistical parameters such as:

• Allow users to create boxes from scratch.
• Add/remove Rows
• Rolls per drop/lootbox (kem rolls 3 times)
• Rolls per day (range or static number)
• Uses CSV for creating and storing loot boxes.

Output a varity of information based on input drop/lootbox such as:

• Info on odds per individual roll
• Info on odds per drop/lootbox
• Info on odds per item per day
• Time and rolls expected for N of each item to be given at 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 90%, 95%
• Test N Sample rolls with output results and stats

Glossary:

• weight* is the weight on the roll for success. Calculated by suming applicable weights and dividing the chosen weight by the sum to get a chance. (if all weights sum to 10, and your item is weighted 2.05, you have a 20.5% chance of rolling that item as a success)
• Tier* is not used in all modes, and each item defaults to "common" in the file unless otherwise defined.
