Drydock pre-release

[MRCAcct]

So, changing some aspects of Drydock is pretty straightforward (TABLES tab).

Say I wanted to add more sheets (or change sheet names) . Because I'm not 100% familiar with some of the formulas used...

As long as I add/change the names of the new sheets to the data validation/drop down box on the DISPLAY tab, everything should still work out fine right?

There is more to it than that. Some of the cells on the Tables tab have calculations that refer back to the Ship# tabs.

Overall, changing the DryDock spreadsheet is easy, except when you get to the Tables sheet (component column) that references the Ship* sheets. I experienced this when recently converting DryDock from Excel to OpenOffice.

Right, as I was preparing my first SUE supplement, I discovered a few problems with the Drydock. I'm sorry I didn't find these earlier:

--Screens don't get the Shield tech modifier applied to them

--Dual-Mode weapons: Smaller figure is being divided by 3, not 2 (was able to fix this myself)

--DRat doesn't round up, just rounds normally (a hull 1 ship with Shields 1 has a DRat of 2.4, which should round to 3, but it doesn't)

--Anti-Fighter Batteries has an ORat component (was able to fix this myself)

Would you mind indicating the sheet, row/column and how you fixed these? I would like to update my Excel and OpenOffice versions, and I am concerned that I would miss an item or two while attempting to find the problems you noted. Thank you in advance!

WRT the dual-mode weapons, I unprotected each sheet, then in the box where the base SU requirement is listed (with a red circle below):

The original formula reads (for the first weapon battery):

=ROUND(MAX(M14:M15)+MIN(M14:M15)/3,1)

Which I changed to:

=ROUND(MAX(M14:M15)+MIN(M14:M15)/2,1)

Which seemed to correct the problem.

As for the AFB, I simply entered a '0' figure into each AFB's ORat column on the Tables sheet. I think this was because initially AFBs were to be closer to their AE version--an 'active' weapon system. The screens and the CRat rounding--I don't have any clue as to how to fix those, I'm afraid

The DRat rounding (Cell L) is actually just the displayed number. If you right click the cell, go to Format Cells and increase the decimal places displayed it shows the 2.4 for a Hull 1 Shield 1. So all you need to do is add ROUNDUP to the formula in L5.
Change from,

Code: Select all

=((C8+Q8)*12/(6-R10)*PRODUCT(N34:N43))+SUM(M34:M43)

to,

Code: Select all

=ROUNDUP(((C8+Q8)*12/(6-R10)*PRODUCT(N34:N43))+SUM(M34:M43),0)

The screens can be fixed by changing the formula in O11.
The current formula does all of the multiplication first then the addition (Order of Operations) so the tech multiplier is getting zeroed out.
You just need to change this,

Code: Select all

=50*C11+30*SUM(E11:H11)*W10

to this.

Code: Select all

=(50*C11+30*SUM(E11:H11))*W10

Updated download to v1.03, fixing the identified issues, as well as fixing weapon ORATs so they round up, rather than to the nearest integer.

Thank you all! I will update my DryDock OpenOffice conversion to reflect these changes.

Dan, the DryDock links are still showing v1.02 modified on May 11. Did the v1.03 get put elsewhere?
