SoftcapInfo Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.2.3

by: Shinni [More]

Since 1.6 there are no Softcaps (diminished returns on stats) in ESO anymore. You can savely remove this addon.

This addon displays the softcap for each stat. If a stat is overcharged, it also displays how many points are "lost".

It's pretty simple but it can be a huge help to know how many statpoints you are away from the softcap or how many points you should rearrange.

Display:
400/500
You have 400 statpoints and the softcap starts at 500.

510+5/500
You have 510 statpoints, but without the softcap of 500 you would have 5 points more (so 5 points are lost).

Attention:
There is a bug in the API. The lost statpoints (red numbers) may be larger than displayed.
The softcaps however are correct.

- 1.2.3
- compatible with Update 5

The only laziness I see is someone telling all inexperienced users to edit his addon in notepad, because he is lazy to upload a new version! Sheesh Last edited by Sonar : 07/05/14 at 11:43 AM.

Demanding an author upload a new version to change a "4" to a "7" so you do not have to check a box and your auto-update utility works correctly. Really? Then lecturing about an author's responsibilities to mask you laziness and ignorance? Putz. Add-on authors are not getting paid. If you donate it is for what has been provided up to that point. The add-ons cost the users nothing. There is no obligation to keep an add-on current. I greatly appreciate when add-ons are re-written/updated. I never expect it and certainly do not demand it. Add-on authors spend their personal time to share their work to make our play experience better. Show some gratitude.

If there is nothing to fix however, I don't see changing the version number as responsibility. I mean, the addon still works without changing it...

Anyhow, I guess in the time I wrote the last two posts, I could've updated the version number a couple of times xD
So yeah, I'll update it.

edit:
meh, and i'll have to include that eula thingy

Just hit "load outdated addons" or change in the SoftcapInfo.txt
## APIVersion: 100004
to
## APIVersion: 100007

I'm too lazy to upload a new version because of one single character...especially if the addon can be used by checking a checkbox.

edit:
Or did you encounter a bug/crash?

You can get this information from the default UI:

Lua Code:

local softCap = GetStatSoftCap(derivedStat)

List of derived stats: http://wiki.esoui.com/Globals#DerivedStats

If you want just to print softCap value to the chat, use this slash command:

Code:

/script d(GetStatSoftCap(STAT_HEALTH_MAX))

fosley Forum posts: 7 File comments: 33 Uploads: 1	I'm not sure if you really want this in your addon, but I've added some stuff you might be able to use. I got tired of no addons having actual values for armor and spell resistance, so I inserted it with your stuff. (Open the spoilers to see different sections of my stupid-long comment.) Original Comment: Warning: Spoiler The first part adds the current mitigation percent to the left of the regular rating. The second part just shortens the name of "Spell Resistance" to "Spell Resist" so the percentage doesn't overlap, and isn't localized at all. At the site I was reading, there are two different formulae, and I used the one that's supposed to be more accurate. Where you have the line: Code: self.value:SetText(displayValue) I replaced it with: Warning: Spoiler Code: -- If this is spell resistance (13) or armor rating (22), display the actual value if (self.value.statType == 13 or self.value.statType == 22) then -- From http://tamrielfoundry.com/topic/damage-mitigation-formula/ -- mitigation = armor/(armor0.28+4500) -- Mitigation = (6 + 1.02Armor) / (4600 + 0.2876 * Armor). local percentage = 100(6+1.02displayValue)/(displayValue0.2876+4600) percentage = string.format("%0.1f", percentage) self.value:SetText(percentage.."% "..displayValue) else self.value:SetText(displayValue) end -- If this is spell resistance, shorten the name to read the percentage better if (self.value.statType == 13) then self.name:SetText("Spell Resist") end Edit 1: Warning: Spoiler So I realized that this doesn't take character level into account, and is based on a level 50 character. The "displayValue" amount should therefore get modified before use in the equation. Assuming the armor rating to armor value equation is just scaled by the maximum rating per level, and assuming the hard cap scales just like the soft cap, we should be able to do: Code: local scaledValue = displayValue (1600 / softCap) local percentage = 100(6+1.02scaledValue )/(scaledValue 0.2876+4600) The servers are down, so I can't test this in-game to see if it makes sense, but it should be pretty close. A level 10 with a softcap of 400 and an armor rating of 300 should have the same mitigation percentage as a level 50 with a softcap of 1600 and an armor rating of 1200, or about 24.9%. 1600 / softCap = 1600 / 400 = 4 displayValue (1600 / softCap) = 300 * 4 = 1200, which is then fed into the calculation as if we were looking at a level 50. We don't need to do the calculation, since your addon already pulls that information from the API, but since I dug up the info I thought I'd share it. A few data points from the few characters I have and two I made very quickly before the server shut-down: Warning: Spoiler Code: Level SoftCap 50 1600 (from other sources) 40 1300 6 280 5 250 3 190 2 160 1 160 It appears that, with the exception of level 1, the softcap is: softcap = (level-2)30+160 = level30+100 Edit 2: Warning: Spoiler Servers are back up, I did some testing by getting whacked by a zombie then some spiders at various armor ratings: Warning: Spoiler Code: Level 37 Zombie, Level 40 Sorc Armor Display % Damage % from 162 0 0.1% 162 0% 600 15.8% 141 13.0% 1025 26.0% 124 23.5% 1155 29.1% 119 26.5% 1453 35.8% 107 34.0% 1544 37.8% 103 36.4% 2050 48.4% 75 53.7% 2185 51.2% 74 54.3% Level 39 Spider, Level 40 Sorc Armor Display % Damage % from 126 0 0.1% 126 0% 600 15.8% 110 12.7% 1025 26.0% 96 23.8% 1155 29.1% 92 27.0% 1349 33.5% 86 31.7% 1453 35.8% 83 34.1% 1544 37.8% 80 36.5% 1612 39.3% 78 38.1% 1719 41.5% 75 40.5% 1775 42.7% 66 47.6% 1822 43.7% 65 48.4% 1983 47.1% 66 47.6% 2050 48.4% 64 49.2% 2185 51.2% 63 50.0% The first column is my armor rating on the sheet, the second column is the percent listed on my sheet using my code, the third column is the damage taken from a light attack from a random enemy, the fourth column is the calculated reduction from my combat log (using T's Combat Stats). I couldn't find an enemy who was exactly level 40, but it seems the higher-level enemy hits a little harder relative to my armor. My formula is obviously slightly off at level 40, but I'm not sure if it's an issue with the formula from the website, or my 50-to-40 conversion method. I'll try more numbers as I level up, but for now I feel the numbers are at least a better indicator than nothing at all. Also, I tested the "inaccurate" formula, and it's almost identical to the "accurate" formula, so I just changed to it since it's less math and will therefore have less performance impact: Code: local percentage = 100(scaledValue )/(scaledValue0.28+4500) Like I said, I realize you may not even like the idea of including something like this in your addon. But I really hate that something so fundamental to character development has so little information either in game or on the internet, and your addon happened to be what I needed to modify to make everything work. Edit 3: Warning: Spoiler Added some spoilers tags to shorten this a bit, so it doesn't clutter your comments page too much. I decided to just try writing my own addon. I have it working fine on a custom control, but I'm still working on displaying it on the character screen. Also, for anyone still reading, I've greatly simplified the armor equation based on the fact that every armor rating vs damage reduction curve I've done is pretty much linear, with some weird spikes that are probably bad data or something. I've only been able to test at level 6, level 7, and level 40, and only the level 7 test was against an equal-level enemy. However, the following code shows values that are within a couple percent of tested values from zero to high armor rating, at all levels tested. It also shows right around 33% reduction at softcap, which is what all the sites claim is correct. This falls into my "good enough for now" category until someone can come up with a better equation for different levels. Warning: Spoiler Code: local scaledValue = displayValue * (1600 / softCap) local percentage = 100scaledValue / 5200 percentage = string.format("%0.1f", percentage) Last edited by fosley : 05/28/14 at 03:20 AM.*

Which version of extended stats do you use? I downloaded 1.1 and it works fine. Can you post a screenshot of the error message?
