I am recovering from major surgery. This calculator was essential for finding the portals for Payiferin and Testonot during daylight hours, local time. THANK YOU from someone who really appreciates her sleep Wink

I've been doing some programming on a free afternoon and ended up writing a little standalone portal time calculator that shows the upcoming times for all 4 portals in the local timezone and in UTC.

I think it turned out pretty nice, so I've put it up for download:

I hope it's useful.

Where do I find the ".net framework" that it says I need when I try to run it?

It doesn't work for me. On both my Windows boxes it quits with the message that the application failed to initialize properly. What's wrong?

Great work on the calculator! Thanks! Very Happy

Cyan may not really want people to use the calculators as opposed to doing things the hard way, but for some people it is a real time saver and I am sure CYAN knows that as long as their fans are creating tools like this, they are enjoying the game and contributing time to help others. This kind of behavior is what is good for the company, a loyal fan base that wants to be an active part of the game that they love. Its not really about how you solve the puzzles, its the fact that you have fun doing so. CYAN wants people to have fun and enjoy the game and its very obvious that anyone that creates a helpful program like this really loves the game, I know this because I was one of the developers that designed and created the URU trainer way back in its hayday. It was a lot of fun for me and I felt good giving something to the community.

BTW: What programming language did you create your calculator in?

I realize this is an old post but since this got bumped...

What exactly is the message? If Windows says that it is "not a valid 32bit application" then your download got corrupted and you need to download it again.

I could be wrong but it looks like a .NET application to me.
