v0.2.1 beta "OH MY GOD! they take over the fridge?!"

added:   - file-check on start. PTCalc look for all needed files and refuse to work if
	   something is missing. this check include "\images\*.*" and the patch.dat.
	   If something go wrong in this test, PTCalc write a line in error.log
	   with the name of the missing file and some other stuff.
	   This fix some strange bugs.
	 - Replaced the rather stupid error handling "on input" with a better one.
	   If the user insert stuff in the edit fields, PTCalc check the Input and 
	   replace it with a simple 0 (zero) if the Text->Number conversion throw a 
	   Exception. v0.2.0 just displayed the error Message in the 2nd StatusBar Panel
	   (should ALWAYS display "OK") and "stop working" till the error is fixed. 
	   I think (hope) this was the main problem a lot of user seem to had.

changed: - i changed most of the File-Load code to filter wrong entrys in the
	   current save files. it work pretty much like the "on input" check. 
	   wrong? -> write a 0 (double check your loaded stats if you had problems). 
	 - "File-Load" cache the whole save-file data in the memory now, result in a single
	   HD read request ( >100 in older versions).
	 - Changed Ata-Shield Strike Dmg. ( >Level 4). 
	 - Changed Ata-Bigger Spear Dmg. ( >Level 4). 
	 - Changed Ata-Storm Javelin MP ( >Level 4). 
	 - Ata - Farina. Skill Bonus was complete wrong.
	 - Changed Knight-Holy Valor Duration (all levels).
	 - Changed Knight-Piercing MP ( >Level 4).
	 - Changed Knight-Drastic Spirit Duration (all Levels). 
	   Some1 can verify current MP >Level 7 in ePT?
	 - Mechanician-Compulsion Duration (all levels).

bugfix:  - Shield aging give only 0.2 abs/level not 0.5 thx to DeathRow3 
	 - Devine/Celesto Force give +60/80 AND +10% now. thx to Fanatic 
	 - Armor "none/manual input" showed non-initialized var's. ("2.46643e+07" etc)

known Problem:	Skills based on other skills raise a EConvertError if the "precursor-SKill"
--------------	is set first to >0 in the Skill-Panel. For example:
		- [Atalanta] Set HoV > Level 0 and have ToV at Level 0.
		- [Archer] Set GF > Level 0 and have Falcon at Level 0.
		and a few others I think (Mech is a good competitor with all his skills)
		
workaround: just set them in the right order and everyting is fine.
-----------


known Problem: Sometimes, in the "cast on this char"-Panel with HoV and ToV (?) there is 
-------------  a strange bug. Enable one at level 0 and the dmg and/or DoT fields change,
	       but don't change again if you disable it. At level 0 there should be no
	       change at all.
	       I saw this just 2 or 3 times and I don't know (yet) how to trigger this
	       bug. Maybe someone can enlighten me here, could save hours in the debugger.


v0.2.0 beta

added:   - Fighter-Cyclone Strike Calculation
	 - Prs-Extinction Calculation. IMO the % is calculated like that:
	   Level 5 with Level 90 Prs for example. Success Rate = 76 % + level / 5
	   A = 76    B = (90/5) = 18
	   Result = A + ((100 - A) * (B / 100)) -> 76 + ((100 - 76) * (18 / 100)) = 80,32
	 - PTCalc ask now to save the current char before quit.
	 - added more tool tips, changed a lot of them
	 - PTCalc display the current (last loaded/saved) Filename in the Toolbar now.
	 - "Cast on this Char" panel.
	   Holy Mind is currently disabled because i have some problems with the calculation 
	   here. It's not "how to", more like "how to get a right result with the way PTCalc 
	   calculate all the other crap".
	   ToV and HoV bonus is based on the Caster-Level (x+Lvl/9 bonus). If you enable it
	   PTCalc use a Level 90 Ata for the Calculation.
	   HoV is disabled for Archer & Pike at the moment because i have to change 
	   the code for the Evasion Calculation on this 2 classes to get a right result.
		

changed: - Archer-Elemental Shot: Changed the whole Calculation 
	 - Pikeman-Ground Pike: Changed Freeze time for all levels +1 sec
	 - Pikeman-Ground Pike: the calculation missed the Lvl/5 bonus.

	 - Mechanician-Spark: the calculation missed the 50% Mech type bonus
	 - Mechanician-Spark Shield: the whole Reflection-Dmg Calculation was wrong and
	   missed the 50% Mechanic Type Bonus
	 - Mechanician-Magnetic Sphere: the calculation missed the 30% Mech type bonus
	 - Mechanician-Metal Golem: changed the Golem HP from x+(2*pHP) to x+(2*pStr)
	 - Ata-Extreme Rage: Changed from single hit to a 3 Hit Skill.
	 - Knight-Sword Blast: the calculation missed the 30% Normal/Mutant type bonus
	 - Knight-Holy Valor: Changed the Range from 300 to 200.
	 - Knight-Piercing: the calculation missed the 30% Mutant type bonus
	 - Mage - Dancing Sword: Skill Panel missed the Atk-Delay.
	 - Priest - Devine Lightning: the calculation missed the 50% Undead type bonus
	 - the text in all grids is now centered 
	 - Changed the format for % values from "0.39" to "39 %" in the grids.
	 - you can enter the stats of your Character with the keyboard now.
	 - rewrote the Readme for the new/changed stuff in v0.2


bugfix:  - right-cklick Gem/Age menu for Orbs missed the whole gemming part.
	 - removed some usesless code fragments here and there, make calculation
	   a bit faster and the file a bit smaller.
	 - v0.1.2 missed the NPC-Buy Col in the Sheltom Info Window.
	 - Prs-Extination "Select Level"-Up/down was linked with the Prs-Vigor Ball
	   "Select Level"-Up/down. 
	 - fixed a "bug" in the file-load code. loading a file is faster now.
	   (dun really matter on CPU's > 1 Ghz)
	 - v0.1.2 had a bug in the file-load code. Orb MP-Regen never loaded from file.
	 - if you did a Reset, item pictures in the Item Panel and the Skill-type Pictures
	   in the Skill-Panel don't clear/reset.
	 - Prs Holy Mind Mana-Usage Calculation was wrong.
	 - Fighter Avenging Crash was possible with all weapon types.
	 - Knight Grand Cross AR Calculation was wrong.


v0.1.2 beta
-----------

added:   - Armlets Info
	 - Gauntlet Info
	 - Boots Info
	 - Weapon Info
	 - Ring Info
	 - Amulet Info
	 - Sheltom Info
	 - Speed Calculation
	 - Gemming Formulas for Weapons in the Right-Click Insert-Weapon menu.
	 - "can use" & "can't use" Icons in the Weapon Right-Click menu.
	 - ForceOrb Calculations (not prs/mgs)
	 - "woody's fun Aging". sometimes i get bored and this is the result ;)

changed: - changed the "Select Class" fields in the Armor/Shield info from 
	   DropDown to a Radio-Group. Look & work better IMO.
	 - PTCalc pre-select now your current char-class in the item-info windows.
	   If you wanne see NS stats of something, use the new "Reset" button there.
	 - changed Prs MP & dmg formula. The new MP one is wrong (or should be).
	   it just match with my sample-Screen-Shot-Prs. Lets see how it work on other
	   Prs. The Dmg formula give "almost right" results for my SS-Prs.
	 - removed mana-usage calculation from Prs-Holy Reflection, its a timed skill.
	 - changed the "set items" part. its a bit more PTPlanner-like (that was not the goal...)
	   for 2 Reasons. 
	   1. it was needed to split the def/abs fields in Base/spec to use aging/gemming. 
	   2. i need the room in the main window later.
	 - Re-wrote the whole BMP-Patcher code. The Ram-usage was just a fking joke.
	   v0.1 created a huge list of records with all files to patch in a 2nd step. 
	   i don't really know why it need THAT MUCH ram... maybe a memory leak somewhere.
	   well, Alpha version and it was my first contact with the win32 API ;-)
	   v0.2 is a bit faster (~8%) and need like 1 MB Ram (not 170 lol).
	 - Save file format (duh...!) you can use v0.1 save files - no problem. But to use
	   the new Item-panel with all the new fields you have to re-enter your defense Items
	   or you get wrong results after aging.

bugfix:  - fixed a few GUI things here and there.
	 - v0.1 missed the NPC-Buy Col in the Orb-Info-Window-Grid & Shield-Info-Window-Grid. 
	 - fixed rounding errors in the Item-Info Class-Reg Calculation. it should give
	   the true min-max reg now.
	 - if you switched from class A to Class B with a enabled timed skill in the
	   Skillpanel (for class A) and then switched back to class A, the skill-type icon 
	   had a wrong Skill-Type picture (the one for Class B). I know, sound complicated.
	   Anyway, this is fixed now.

                              1h/2h. 
         - Skill Pictures got loaded from disk (or from file cache) every time
           a value changed, caused useless I/O load.
