nickcnew Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hi all, I am a returning player to SN with a new set up this last turn.When I played previously there was a great spreadsheet which uploaded you turns from a text file into different spreadsheets. If I remember rightly there was Galaxy/Research/population groups and others. It was great for a quick snapshot of your Empire and doing production and generally organising your turns.The player who made it was called Phase dragon. Does this still exist or is there an alternative/bastardised version that people use. Thanks All, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospective Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 nickc, Try this: http://members.cox.net/phasedragon/ I think Phase quit, not 100% sure of that tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Uriel Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 He quit a long time ago. The sheets no longer work properly. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickcnew Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thanks for info.I downloaded all the sheets and can't get any info to upload from my turnsheet.Its a pity as this really enhances this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I noticed that too! So it's off to find 'Excel for Idiots'[prequel to Dummies], some new crayons, & some of Kurassiers best; then try to use his format to make something that works. Any one of the three promises entertainment with it's own rewards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Uriel Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I have been trying to make an updated version for quite a while now. I've learned that I know nothing about excel macros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orin Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 those macro's stopped working about 3 adobe pft's updates ago... I liked it... to bad we don;t have anyone who can do that again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we buy the right books, I think we can. My Office 2000 for Dummies has a chapter titled 'Having Fun with Formulas & Functions' that I'm just dying to get to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Carpenter Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 it is not the macros that do not work, it is the parsing of the turn, for two reasons. One pete changed the look of several sections and Adobe changed the format of save to text. If you down load adobe reader 6.02 that part will work again, IE adobe will save in correct format it is programmed in visual basic, so you still will have to change the programming to match the new turns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairman lar Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 You're right, Octus, it is scary; but enlightening as well. Right now it looks like I'm well on my way to developing a ship design worksheet that will[if I print in color] not only deplete my ink cartridges at an alarming rate; but enable me to complete it, using pencil & calculator, in about half the time it would take without the form. Mother would be so proud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mother would be so proud! Mixed technologies and high cost toner. Sure you want to do this? Mom may be prouder if you saved money on toner.

May you be continuously enlightened and your wallet less (en)lightened..... Mixing technologies can be both rewarding & enlightening[i.e.: distilling and brewing]. By doing so, I was able to achieve a lateral breakthrough by using monochrome printing and upgrading to a mechanical pencil. I can't wait to see where this branch of the tree leads.

SargonKingOfSlith Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 My ship design worksheet is at http://www.geocities.com/batkins23/Sargon.html Sadly, I still have not updated it to calculate defensive stats. There is also a spreadsheet for calculating tooled production. It isn't anything like PhaseDragon's. I don't try to import data from the turn results and there are no macros. It's just for calculating production and determining amounts for BI orders. Both are Excel 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to take me awhile to digest it; but thank you, SargonKingOfSlith, for the effort and the courtesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
