Arrival Time Calculator

This script displays troop loading times, total travel times (loading time + travel time), and arrival time for ground troops sent on a pillage mission to another island. It's my second venture into GM scripting - I hope you like it!




Download link: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/47091

How to use:
  1. Go to pillage another player
  2. On the pillage screen (with troop sliders), set the amount of troops you plan on sending.
  3. Once your troop counts are set, type the level of port you are sending from and press {ENTER} or click somewhere.
Technical details:
  • No server requests or server interaction whatsoever
Current limitations:
  • Port levels only go up to 26... if someone has information on higher port loading speeds please let me know.
  • If you calculate the time for one set of troops, move the troop sliders around again, and want to calculate the time for that second set of troops, you have to change the port level to something different, then change it back.
  • The impact time might not be 100% accurate to the server time.
Future features:
  • Loading + travel times for cargo ships
  • Loading + travel times for defend missions

Excellent script. It makes Ikariam a little more similar to OGame. One thing is missing though: the arrival time in the troop movements view. It's much easier on the old grey goo to time your attack according to a fixed time rather than a constantly decreasing counter.

Hi, you could add a feature to automatically remember the port level. (just like warehouse level for SnP helper)

Thanks everyone!

JosDaBosS : Right now the script calculates everything after the port level is entered. In other words, it displays the travel time calculations whenever the port input box changes. If it were to automatically remember the port level, I would have to add a 'calculate' button that a player would have to press every time they wanted to calculate travel time. I don't know if that is any better than having to type in the port level every time.

White Rabbit : That should be doable. Thanks for the suggestion!

Mmmm I thought about some more ways to do it. I'll work on it for the next update. Thanks!

RE: Arrival Time Calculator

Quoted from "God of Death"

  • The impact time might not be 100% accurate to the server time.

I'll say!
Our alliance just organized a multi-player combined attack from a mobile colony.
We all used this script to calculate the impact time (it was set to be 10.06.2009 1:30:00 game time) and all using the same port level of the mobile colony.
Thing is we were just attacking a neighbouring island and my troops still have not arrived (current game time 10.06.2009 5:43:23). That's some accuracy! (and 6+ hours of loading/travel for my troops)
My military advisor tells me there's 22m to go until troops land. As it stands I think it will be a suicide mission as other team mates reported different times (differences of 3h impact times).
Please check ur script still works ok with 0.3.1
I have started a ticket with ikariam.org as 100 of my PWRs disappeared from the mobile too as soon as I had sent the troops, so it may be there are bugs relating to the world/area in question.
;(

Great script - if it works.
