To be honest it would not exist without Mag Farm Version 0.9.7r2 by James Baxter

Why did i start working on it well i had some personal issue with Mag Farm.

  1. I had problem with the drop-down list not showing their content, it has since resolved itself
  2. The user interface is in my opinion somewhat outdated and clunky.
  3. Can't Update the Feeding Chart.
  4. No Description for the Photon Blast
  5. Lack of the Blue Burst Mag Cells.
  6. Can't save the current Session for later use, only Export History.

What an absolute champion, I'd help you test it out but I don't have enough time to make mags right now. I'll give it a shot in about 2 weeks though!

That PGP profile you uploaded is great, keep it up man.
 
Well then you will probably be able to use an improved version in two weeks, i am adding some nifty new interface and quality of life improvement.

The PGP profile i mostly made it for myself, then i realized other might like the improved controls in their game without having to fine tune everything.
 
What i mean is that normaly a Stage 3 Mag ( level 50 ) can change form every 5 level.
Example we have a Bluefull Humar with a Level 54 Kama with the following stats and progress
DEF 9 / 0
POW 15 /0
DEX 15 /0
MIND 15/21
at level 55 if we feed it more monofluid it will change form to be a Bana
But if the Stats were
DEF 9 / 99
POW 15 /0
DEX 15 /0
MIND 15/99
if we feed it a Star Atomizer it would Gain Two level by eating one item thus skipping to 56 and not changing form, but the ways i coded it the evolution would still take place, as each stats are separated and verified individually, and each check do the evolution Verification individually, it pass for Stage 1 ( Level 10 ) & Stage 2 ( Level 35 ) mag as they would still evolve, but stage 3 which should not evolve if it not the first evolution.

So i am getting to press this like button, as you helped me by making me explain the problem to you and made me realize that the fix is simple to do but i also need to edit the Stage 1 et Stage 2 Evolution Check . And also while trying to find semi-plausible Mag with almost equal stats i discovered they're may be still some issue to fix, that i wasn't aware off. I tried to test as much as i can but i will obviously miss some combination.

I could be wrong (and i haven't tested this recently) but doesn't the mag still evolve, even if you happen to get 2 levels at once and go from 54->56?
 
The sad thing is the information about mag seem to be dispersed a little bit everywhere.
I got the information from here "http://pso.wikia.com/wiki/MAG".

I will try to do a test to validate or invalidate this information, will have to plan for it to have stats that are near equal, same for the Mag that wont evolve if def >= 45 with the exception of Force. At least for the Level 45 DEF i have Four source that seem to correlate it. once again "http://pso.wikia.com/wiki/MAG", this one http://universps.online.fr/pso/bb/mags/mags_evolutions.php this one http://www.pscave.com/pso/mags.shtml and Good old Mag Farm. Tough i less sure of relying on Mag Farm because if the stats of a Level 49 Mag get to POW=DEF=MIND at level 50 the mag does not evolve in it, to verify i made a test in an emulated version of Phantasy Star Online Episode 1&2 Plus for GameCube and the mag did evolve, and the previous source correlated with this test.

Kinda sad they're no fast ways to set the stats of a mag just for the purpose of making these test.

You could actually make a sandbox account, download Soly's 'item creater' and make/test there at any stats you desire.
 
  • Like
Reactions: Mad
i was aware that sandbox allowed for item creation command, but i tough it was for weapon or armor only.
And that Soly's items Creator can set the progression will save a lots of time. That will be a time saver, as even emulated with unlimited feeding and items as i still needed to feed it manually.

Sandbox Mode here i come.
 
Yeah it's great for testing!
 
Actually it can also help in making a conversion chart from the game progress bar to number easier to do.

--- Update ---
Confirmed - If a Mag skip from level 49 to 51 it wont evolve until it retry at level 55

Debunked - I tested multiple Level 49 mag on a RAmar each with DEF > 45 and it would still evolve and if the stats is only DEF i also tested with a HUcast and i came to the conclusion it will evolve according to the character Class. Hunter will get a POW>DEX>MIND, Ranger will get DEX>MIND>POW while Force were partially covered by their DEF special evolution and if only DEF at level 50 they seem to get MIND > POW + DEX

I'm not sure where else to put this, but I think there might be a small error somewhere in this MAG planner.

According to Magatama, feeding a MAG nothing but monofluids until level 35 exclusively on a Redria RAmar yields a Mitra with PB#1: Estlla and PB#2: Pilla.

But what I got instead was a Tapas with PB#1: Estlla and PB#2: Mylla.

The MAG in question was originally from a throw-away level 1 Whitil HUcast. However, it was never fed, not even once, by the HUcast. It was taken immediately after character creation and put into the shared bank prior to the first feeding. The MAG in question has not been put back into the bank after any feeding, either.

I have no idea if this info is helpful at all, but I figure I would point it out just in case.

Mind as highest value on lvl 35 Ranger mag yields to Tapas (Twins), so bug is in magatama.
http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=1241

EDIT: Sorry, I just downloaded Magatama and fed only monofluid on Ramar Mag and got Tapas (Twins). Guess you did something wrong there. Or maybe had something to do with setting / resetting stats manually?

Looks like my issue was that I was using the Beta6 version, and not the new version that was just released like yesterday. I guess that's a good confirmation that this particular bug has been fixed.
 
Yeah that was an issue i introduced in BETA 6 by accident when i added the stalemate conditions ( DEF is the Only Stats or 2 or 3 stats are equal). Glad to see more people using it :).
 
Hi, nice app you have there, is it "compatible" with PSOGC in a way ? Did SEGA only add new mags or did they modify feeding charts for BlueBurst ?

Reason is Aleron Ives, with his PSOGC patches kind of revived the game to my eyes. The latest being an "Item Loss Prevention" patch. Also I finally have a set up with working online play on Dolphin Emu using my own dump of the disc I made with a modded wii. I'll be playing on Sylverant.

Great, Magatama is pretty legit ! I guess a mat-plan solver would be kind of hard to implement wouldn't it ? (Like "I want a lvl 100 PWR Sato" and it outlines the steps with or without taking into account current character class & ID)

Does the Ralf guy roam around these forums ? If yes "Thanks Ralf! ^_ ^"

Also, my brother and I are big fan of Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne Lucifer's Call, so Magatama as a name speaks to us @_@

STOP GIVING ME IDEA ! LOL.
In theory this should be feasible but would not necessarily give the most cost effective options and Photon Blast.

First before trying to implement a solver i will complete the switch that will make it easier to update and add Game Version.
The reply of both of you MagicLuthee and Aleron Ives gave me the spark on how i should implement multiple Version, which in other term also mean i have to redesign the Settings design as more information need to be displayed now.

On the bright side less dwelling on the code side will be required to add Different Version, which mean possible to use one version of the program and be compatible with different server.

These new options may be more in BETA 9 than BETA 8, as BETA 8 is finalizing the switch from the Mag name in the code to be replaced with number, easier to create translation and fix typos, and will need to test the stability of these change first.
