Help with adding penetration calculator

[zekias87 2]

I would like to know if there is someone out there who could help me implement a penetration calculator.

I did some searching and come up with the russian forums

Since I cant speak russian I Google translated it and found a Probability of penetration file "chancePenetration.py" which I also have attached in this post.

But my problem is that I dont know how to use it. I have placed it in "py_macro" folder but that does nothing, so I guess I need to somehow implement it by creating another file somewhere?

 

What I am hoping is that someone out there alreay have done this or knows how to do it and are willing to help.

 

chancePenetration.py

Well, the .py files only contain the macros definitions and all that stuff. To actually use a macro, you need to use it in your config.

You need to update your configuration.  

To you battlelabels.xc you need to add something like:

${ "battleLabelSight.xc":"def.piercingChance"},

 

Then in battlelabeltemplates.xc add

    "piercingChance": {
      "enabled": true,
      "flags": [ "alive" ],
      "updateEvent": "PY(ON_CALC_ARMOR), PY(ON_CAMERA_MODE)",
      "x": 0,
      "y": "{{py:sight.cameraMode=arc?-49|{{py:sight.cameraMode=sn?39|44}}}}",
      "width": 100,
      "height": 26,
      // "borderColor": "0xFF0000", //!!!
      "screenHAlign": "center",
      "screenVAlign": "center",
      "alpha" : 100,
      "shadow": { "distance": 1, "angle": 90, "alpha": 90, "blur": 5, "strength": 3 },
      "textFormat": { "align": "center", "valign": "center" },
      "format": "<font color='{{py:sight.c_piercingChance}}' size='16'>{{py:sight.piercingActual}} {{py:sight.piercingActual?/|}} {{py:sight.armorActual}}</font>"
    },
