Ithikial_AU Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Just uploaded to the Repository - awaiting approval. This tool is designed as a tracker of all CMx2 World War 2 game results an individual player completes. Record your results into an easily sortable system to allow for analysis of your Combat Mission career. Check which opponents you fair well against, which forces you command better or just find out how many pixeltruppen you've led to their untimely deaths. An automated MS Excel workbook designed to be easy to use with minimal input from the end user. Currently supports CMBN, CMFI and all modules. Can be updated easily when future CM titles are released. Read Me included with the download. Some key features - CMBN and CMFI support (inc all modules) - Easy updating (by the author) to incorporate future Battlefront releases CMx2 WW2 era releases. All the end user (You!) have to do is cut and paste between documents. - Supports both single player and multiplayer games and results in an all in one package – compare how you fair against the AI vs real life opponents. - ‘The Calendar of Carnage’ – Track pixeltruppen casualties (both caused and suffered) on a timeline of World War 2. - Will be able to display data going all the way back to 1939 if Battlefront ever goes that far back with their releases. - Automated pretty graphs. - Improve your game. Compare results and spot areas you need to improve in. - Can be easily adapted for some operational level CM campaigns to track battle results. Hope you enjoy. Any queries let us know below. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

para Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 How minimal is the input required from the user? I am an idiot and pretty useless at this sort of stuff. Does this automatically take my battle results at the end of each game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikial_AU Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Para - Only typing and selecting from some drop down menus. No maths required. No more than a minute once you get the hang of it. Most selections are drop down menu boxes where you simply select what's appropriate for that battle. A few cells like like the casualty section you simply type the numbers from the AAR screen at the end of each battle. Close the work book and reopen when you've finished entering the results for the workbook to auto-calculate and populate everything. (Read me is included in the dload). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Canadian Cat Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 This looks very interesting. I remember your v1 attempt (I think it was you) and I am looking forward to trying this one out. Now wouldn't it be nice if games automatically generated a report file with the numbers from the end screen (and more details too about each unit). That would be be a nice feature for BFC to add. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Deadmarsh Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Will it also graph the downward trajectory of my social life during my CM career? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartokomus Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Will it also graph the downward trajectory of my social life during my CM career? I believe the manual recommends you track that privately... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikial_AU Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 This looks very interesting. I remember your v1 attempt (I think it was you) and I am looking forward to trying this one out. Yeah that was me and that was a quick and nasty version that sort of morphed out of some other work I did over at the FGM. Some other people indicated they wanted to take a look so I shared it around. This one took a little longer to design and build, but the payoff is that it's easier and quicker for the user use and can tell them a lot more about their game and CM gaming history across all titles, game forms and opponents. As for tracking a drop off in social life, I think the official data analysis response is that would be too many variables to try and capture, record and work out the relationships for. Short answer - No. And the file can be found here: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=113087 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent, I am going to give it a whirl. Sadly I have been less than judicious about saving screen shots of scenario ends. On the plus side I do have a archive of nearly ever PBEM turn I have ever played so I can reload final turns... This is going to take a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincere Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Awesome tool. I get a lot of satisfaction from looking at game stats like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikial_AU Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Cheers guys. Will update when Ost Front is released. I was going to add in another coloumn giving some options regarding the terrain being fought over. (Rural / Village / Town etc) but couldn't come up with a decent breakdown. Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartokomus Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Any thoughts of adding CMSF by any chance? or is your intent to only capture WW2 info? Either way, thanks! I use excel to capture all my info, i'll see if I can export/import... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikial_AU Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thought about it but the timeline stuff would have been pretty useless... 1944/45 -> 2008? Once the Black Sea game is released may look at a modern era version, but at the moment squarely thinking WW2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
