Gear Calculator

Now presenting a new tool for playing with Borderland guns (specifically guns only at least for now). The Gear Calculator calculates weapon stats from user-selected parts and also tells you the legitness (naming-wise) for the gun. Naming priorities, linked names, and attribute-dependent names are all considered. Eventually I’ll have all gun types, uniques, and pearls added.

Anyway, you can export the gun code straight to WillowTree if you press the copy icon in the top right. The numbers for ammo, slot, quality, and level aren’t visible, but they are added when you click the copy button. Likewise, you can export the stats table to plain text.

The general premise for the program is that you have to match an item grade to a gun type. Each grade-type pair is unique and unlocks a certain gun “template” guiding which parts you can pick. The part combos it lets you pick will always work in-game. Clicking on either the part type labels or the combo boxes will show the current part’s modifiers in the text area below.

Please try it and be descriptive of the bugs and inaccuracies to help me fix it!
