RuneScape:WikiGuilds/Calculators

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ The Calculator WikiGuild is a project to help develop and maintain the wiki's calculators, used to derive a variety of things such as training profits, experience points gained during various activities, combat levels, and more. The recently-installed JS Calculator script also enables these calculators to run dynamically on a page. See Forum:Java calculators for the discussions which brought about this WikiGuild. We need help making these calculators useful and putting them in useful locations on the wiki!

Proposed Calculators
Proposed calculators should be added as a subsection here for discussion. Once you feel the discussion has run its course, then leave a note stating so and an administrator will add it to the archive.

Alchemy Value (Stelercus)
This calculator can be used to determine how many of an item is required to get to a certain Magic level or XP number and how much money this will cost. It will then determine how much you will get in return and your final profit. 22:03, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Efficiency (Cook Me Plox)
This calculator shows at what point a certain training method is more efficient than another, based on Experience per hour and Profit/Loss per hour or GP/XP. Thanks Gaz  00:00, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Magic max hit (Newbie856 and Gaz Lloyd who created the template)
I simply used the existing template and made it into a dynamic calc, was quite easy since the template was really well explained.

Note to all those who want to edit it: could someone please change the template so that words are not case-sensitive, that way I can change the way they are written in the form. I would have done it myself but I got lost in the code o_O. Also, a few other things are to change (ex: only mature wmb is accepted instead of mature wizard's mind bomb). It isn't a biggy but it seems kinda weird when you look at it.

 * All text inputs to the template are already case-insensitive. I expanded mature wmb (though that is the actual in-game name, I agree that a non-abbreviated version would be better).
 * As an extra note there is a version here, we should decide whether to remove the calc from there (with a link to this page), or whatever. 18:42, July 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm... of course, something never works when you want it too, but when you show it to someone it does! Anyway, thanks for changing the mature wmb and pointing out to me that it actually was case-insensitive. As soon as Quarenon's submitunfocused function comes out, I'll change the forms so that spells are less complicated to input by having different categories activated by a selection menu. Until then, a text field is fine (I think). 19:41, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Calculators/Comparing farming herb prices (Newbie856)

 * More or less a dynamic calc. It pretty much compares planting herbs depending on the number you harvest. It's basicly a dynamic version of Calculators/Farming herbs. It's pretty neat if you want to find which herb is more profitable and starting how many herbs are farmed. Test it by comparing snapdragon and ranarr and you will soon understand. 18:31, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

User:Dd4235/Calcs/RC/UI (DD4235)
This is a dynamic calc that finds profit/loss RCing. It's still a work in progress (no mem. runes or multi-rune support), but it works. I modeled it after the Mining calc, and it works pretty much the same way.  DD4235 Talk 04:13, September 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * I finally got the RC calculator working. It has support for all runes and has multirune support. If anyone sees any bugs, please post them on this page. Otherwise, I will put the calc on the Calculators page Thurs. Sept 16, 2010  DD4235 Talk 22:31, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Woot, another member of RS:Calc ! In all seriousness though, nice work! Just wondering, why is it not on the calculators page? It is pretty epic! Is it incomplete or something, 'cause we really need a RCing calc. 21:37, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
