http://richter.hopto.org/AC/IronGranite.htm

Also, latest version of Find It! will give you the G/I ratio for a weapon based on the number of tinks left. Ratio is based SOLELY on render imbues, and is not valid for CS/CB. Use the website above for CS/CB.

Use IE. I have never got it to work using Firefox.

The calculator on Richter's site has nothing to do with tinker skill. You tell it how many tinkers can still be applied.

I get the same result as Obe_Again at Richters site, and that's using IE and hitting the calc button.

Nothing happens when I push the calc button. I must be dense today because I can't get it to show any results.

I just went there and pressed calc without entering anything, it displayed information in the box on the right.

Do you have scripting turned off? Are you using funky color schemes that may be interfering? The site works.

Yup, having scripting turned off was the problem.

Now how in heck it got turned off without my knowing about it is totally another question, especially as I'm the only person who uses the computer!!!

That website has never worked for me in Firefox. Works fine in IE though.

Yup, guess it doesn't work with Firefox. It uses client side scripting to do the calculations, so if this is not supported you have a few options....

a) Use IE
b) View the Source and create your own Firefox enabled webpage
c) Get the Firefox authors to support VBScript in pages properly.
d) Download the open source Firefox files and make the changes yourself.
e) Beg the author to change it, understanding that the original author no longer maintains it, and the current site is simply 'hosting' the page without writing it.

Useless options include whining and posting that Firefox doesn't work, over and over and over again...

Oh wait...Forget C and D, from the Firefox website:
There is no support for VBScript and ActiveX, two technologies which are the reasons for many IE security holes.

Yep it was written in vbscript, so it'll never work in Firefox. If anyone want to volunteer to rewrite it in javascript so it works in any browser I'd be happy to host it. I quit playing AC a couple months ago, and I have a newborn baby at home, so rewriting the website myself isn't a top priority. wink
