DR

The damage reduction formula has been published, so we know for a fact that 0.3DR = 30% chance and 0.33DR = 33% chance. Either there's a hidden 0.03 on the armour or the chance is 30% not 33%. Binkyuk (talk) 15:50, 28 August 2014 (EDT)

There is some confusion with the coming beta 14 about how much damage reduction those two armors have. I will wait for Ellatan's response, it is fine as it is at the moment.--8wayz (talk) 17:35, 28 August 2014 (EDT)

Google Sheets

I've created a Google Sheets that grabs a lot of useful information from DefaultGameCore.ini, XComGame.int and XComStrategyGame.int, combines it with a few user inputs (such as research requirements, wiki filenames, etc...) and then formats it into wiki tables. This should make it easy to update the tables whenever a new patch rolls around.--Thels (talk) 04:31, 1 April 2015 (EDT)

The sheet can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xRJLa7vQw1H0o7QIkZqEwqdT2AT317hzvbzoZRg4DUI/edit?usp=sharing --Thels (talk) 04:31, 1 April 2015 (EDT)

I've updated the soldier armors with the table generated by the document. I have all the other item tables ready, and Research/Foundry/OTS/Facility tables are really easy to generate from there on. However, I would like people's input on the format of the table. It's relatively easy to change the looks and layout of all the tables generated by the Google Sheets, but it would still require them to be manually copied into the Wiki, so I'd prefer people's opinions on the looks of the table, and settle on a specific layout, before updating the rest of the item tables (and others). --Thels (talk) 04:31, 1 April 2015 (EDT)

I also gave Credits (not the icon, but the actual values) a tooltip for extra information. Could easily expand it to the other columns that include secondary values, but I'm still on the fence if I like it or not, so I could really use some opinions from other people about it.--Thels (talk) 04:31, 1 April 2015 (EDT)
