Tribal Wars Enhancer

How about a distance calculator so you can see the distance from all your villages from the village screen for example?

Does anyone know the algorithm to calculate distance? Couldn't find it anywhere (tried google + tw wiki) but it's most likely just very basic geometry.

Interesting idea, I've been meaning to add it into the map (optionally) but this would be kind of neat too.

I don't know how the distance is calculated but I'm sure that with some twiddling I can find out, just haven't looked at it yet

I'm quite surprised you don't see it, it's VERY basic math

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c being the distance, and to measure the time it would take (also better known as Pythagoras)

sqrt(x^2 + y^2) * <speed of slowest unit> = <time it takes>

x and y are number of tiles

That would've be my first guess.

Unfortunately i don't algebra regularly, thanks for looking this up for me Mr Doe

Ok. I added the calculator.



It's been too long since i had use of algebra.. all libraries you work with nowdays abstract this kind of stuff away so you don't have to care about it. Thanks for reminding me again johndoe

And here's the code (it's for the new rewritten twenhancer)

Code: Select all

plugins.distancecalc = {
   'enhance_game_info_village' : function() {
      var target = xpathGetFirst("/html/body/table[3]/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[2]").innerHTML;
      target = target.replace(/(.+)\((\d+\|\d+)\)\s(.+)/gi,"$2").split("|");
      html = "<table>";
      html += "<tr><th>Village name</th><th>Distance #1</th><th>Distance #2</th></tr>";
      var villages = twe.myVillages();
      for(var i=0; i<villages.length; i++) {
         v = villages[i];
         html += "<tr><td>"+v.name+"</td>";
         var distance_x = target[0]-v.x;
         var distance_y = target[1]-v.y;
         html += "<td>"+distance_x+"|"+distance_y+"</td>";
         var distance = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(distance_x,2) + Math.pow(distance_y,2));
         html += "<td>"+Math.round(distance*100)/100+"</td>";
         html += "</tr>";
      }
      html += "</div>";

      xpathGetFirst("/html/body/table[3]/tbody/tr/td").innerHTML += html;
   }
};


Doesn't seem like it fits somewhere in the "Script on 10th of March". Has the script already changed that much or are you talking about a different rewrite?

Yes, it's for the next version.
