How to calculate Professional Standing?

[Doer]

You guys are flying right along with these calculations! I have to recommend the No Resources Found utility from Irken Invaders. You set up a hot key and then you go through your skills and pro standing pages hitting the hot key and it will scrape the skills and pro standing to as high a precision as possible. You can create additional sets and it will bold those skills that increase. All in all very useful for comparing skills. It sure beats counting pixels!

Nice utility Doer. I had already got my screenies though and had saved them as jpg which the utility doesn't seem to like. My quickish method for counting pixels was to load the before image into Microsoft Picture It! Photo Standard 9 (which came free on my PC), insert the after image into the picture, make the after image 70% transparent, move it precisely on top of the before image, zoom to 500%, count the extra pixels. Not perfect, but not too painful either.

I've started a new thread for exact results obtained from chipping, here. I've got things rolling with Diagnosis, which impacts only Paramedic at 8%. So that was worth it.

I'll find any other skills that have been done elsewhere tomorrow and move the data across.

thanks for pointing out that I cannot add or type... Corrected in edit.
Thanks for the explanations, and thanks to Doer for the link to NRF which I shall test tonight!

Hi. Just a quick update to say that the new version of NRF states that it now accepts jpg. I haven't tried it, though. Keep up the good work.

I think this one deserves a bump.

Looks like Laser Pistoleer has been solved, the results come out as:

Agility*20        3%
Aim               4% 
Combat Reflexes   3%
Combat Sense      5%
Commando          3%
Coolness          5%
Courage           3%
Dexterity         3%
Hangun            38%
LWT               14%
Marksmanship      7%
Perception        2%
Serendipity       1% 
Weapons Handling  9%

EDIT: and now probably BLP Sniper too:

Agility*20        3%
Aim               4% 
Combat Reflexes   3%
Combat Sense      5%
Commando          3%
Coolness          4%
Courage           3%
Dexterity         3%
Rifle             39%
BWT               14%
Marksmanship      8%
Perception        2%
Serendipity       1% 
Weapons Handling  8%

LWT/BWT/PWT/GWT should all be interchangeable in those formulas

Nice, finally the values don't have decimals values? It's seems way more logical like this

I'll try to check that

Great job Jimmy.
I think the result should be posted in a seperate thread, and made sticky!

[Jimmy B]

Thanks

Vedder, the results are currently in this thread. The chipping thread should steadily produce similar numbers for the other professions, so I'll start a new thread for the results at some point. Maybe even make it sticky
