Simulation data correctness
« on: December 29, 2009, 08:10:45 pm »
What I already wrote at some topic:

Simulation data in xml form seems to have many empty cells.

For example data for Armor vs Anti-armor is empty for all mark levels... which seems very strange.

I used 2.001 ZF for simulation running on 2 threads.

I've attached rar with UnitRelativeChart.xml.

That's actually correct, but I can see why it is unclear.  Basically, when you look at Armor rows and Anti-Armor columns, you see all blanks because the armor never wins against the anti-armors.   But, when you look at the anti-armor rows and armor columns, you see the data for all of them (at the same mark level).

Here is how data is shown:

1. The engagement lasted more than 500 seconds without being resolved (it shows >500s for both attackers).
2. The attacker (ship on the row) won: it shows the time and health percent remaining.
3. The attacker (ship on the row) lost: it shows nothing in the cell.
4. The ships did not fight at all: it shows nothing in the cell.

The original intent was to make it very easy to see where ships were strong, with having no extra clutter in those cells for case 3 above.  But, I'm open to shifting that if people think it would be more clear...
Have ideas or bug reports for one of our games?  Mantis for Suggestions and Bug Reports. Thanks for helping to make our games better!

Thanks for clarification.

I guess that only problem maybe that case 3 and 4 give same result - but I guess that when ships did not fight both intersections will be empty?
