ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

How many boxes of each mineral count are there? I'm noticing the winnings tend to be fairly small compared with the losings. There used to be a page describing how it worked, but sadly, no longer. I haven't even seen a box for 200 yet...

The most I've ever gotten was 180.

It is random.

I still hold the top place in the looser section. :P

Nobody said the net turn on a box field was positive; as far as I know the sumtotal of all the boxes (each less 20), is negative.

Hello

it is completly random, just the "rarity" count plays any rule, like in the store...

most often: 0
often: 20 AND/OR 20-
not that often: 40 AND/OR 40-

and so on..... such higher or lower the win/loose is, such higher is it's rarity...
vi3t-x just got 540 minerals in 1 box yesterday.... lucker ^^

I built that up over time. I was actually the unluckiest for a time, and then I skyrocketed.

I'd kind of like to know these rarities/how it works. Obviously if you can get 540 in a box, there's some equation to use, or a really crazy programmer.

$magic_boxes = array(0, 1, 2); // high, medium, low
$magic_boxes[0] = array(140, 140, 80, 80, 60, 60, 60, 60, 40, 40, 40, 40, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20);
$magic_boxes[1] = array(120, 80, 80, 80, 60, 60, 60, 60, 40, 40, 40, 40, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20);
$magic_boxes[2] = array(60, 60, 60, 60, 60, 60, 60, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20);
shuffle($magic_boxes);shuffle($magic_boxes);shuffle($magic_boxes);shuffle($magic_boxes);shuffle($magic_boxes);shuffle($magic_boxes);
$j = mt_rand(0,2);
for($i=count($magic_boxes[$j]);$i < 49; $i++) $magic_boxes[$j][$i] = 0;
shuffle($magic_boxes[$j]); // times 10000

I believe net gain on each set is like -20.

Is there a purpose to calling shuffle() more than once? AFAIK, assigning random keys will randomize the list equally regardless of starting order (not like actually shuffling cards).

Nov 29 2008, 4:56 am Forsaken Archer Post #15



You would think no, but from what I tested, it appears to be more helpful.

Nov 29 2008, 4:57 am DT_Battlekruser Post #16



You're tempting me to do some kind of statistical analysis on shuffle() :P

Ehhhm... so "-" has a more "rarity" then "+" ?

O that was you dm? Lol. Well I have gotten 0 EVERY time I've managed to get to this site and try it.

Nov 30 2008, 4:41 am Pigy_G Post #20



Rofl I clicked a box in a sure non zero and then it reset without giving me shit lol. I tryed again on the new box's and got 0.

Actually I might have just got 200 minerals... But I don't see how that's possible. Now i'm on the highscores.... Me confused :><:

Oh_Man -- tthen u come to SCBW and it's like - upload WAV, play WAV.... sigh why cant it be that easy
[01:40 am]
Oh_Man -- and no consistent easy to use way to then play the audio either
[01:39 am]
Oh_Man -- where they use third party audioprogram called WWISE which basically makes adding audio extremely difficult
[01:39 am]
Oh_Man -- i appreciate SCBW's ability to just let us upload and play WAVs so much compared to nightmare that is total war warhammer 3

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.
