I've added a DyeBot to the TinkerBot script. I'd like to tell the user their chance of success before the trade is completed, but i don't know how the diffuculty is calculated. Does anyone have any info on this?


I would just hook the 'Crafting chance of success' dialog box, but there are 2 problems with that. 1, AC's built-in hotkey used to toggle the crafting chance option doesn't work. It shows the option turning off and on, but doesn't actually toggle use of the window. And 2, ACTool's variable _craftchancesuccess doesn't seem to work.


I'd prefer to just calculate the math in the script anyway, as that all the tinkerbot calculations are done that way...

<<Dyeing has a Cooking Skill Check of 230.>>

I'm relatively sure that it uses the same check function as tinkering...do a few tests to see if it's the same as if you were doing a 230 diff tink, but I think it's the same.

Hmmm.. interesting. I may have to drop a couple key skills, to pick up the trade skills, on my tinker mule (meleeD, missileD (which I plan on dropping as soon as I can find a replacement for the cov stuff he's wearing)).

I pinned it down:


Chance of success = ( 1 - ( 1 / ( 1 + EXP( 0.03 * ( CookingSkill - 230 ) ) ) ) ) * 100

Yeah that's the formula I was talking about
