How is ENY calculated

[BowHTR]

What is the formula for how eny balancing is created? In basic terms.

I did find the following post, but i have no idea what it means.

•    if(Balance->TotalPlayerCnt > 0 )
     {
        if(Settings->MinBalanceTotal != 0)
        {
           BalanceGain = (double)Balance->TotalPlayerCnt / (double)Settings->MinBalanceTotal;
        }
        else
        {
           BalanceGain = 1;
        }
        if(BalanceGain > 1)
        {
           BalanceGain = 1;
        }
  
        Least = 2.0;
        for(Country=0;Country<pcMAX_COUNTRY;++Country)
        {
  
           Balance->CountryPer[Country] = (double)Balance->PlayerCnt[Country] / (double)Balance->TotalPlayerCnt;
           if(Balance->CountryPer[Country] < Least)
           {
              Least = Balance->CountryPer[Country];
           }
  
        }
  
        if(Least != 0)
        {
           for(Country=0;Country<pcMAX_COUNTRY;++Country)
           {
  
              Balance->MinEnyValue[Country] =
                 (Balance->CountryPer[Country] - (Least + Settings->BaseCountryPer)) * Settings->CountryBalanceScale * BalanceGain * 100;
              if(Balance->MinEnyValue[Country] < 0)
              {
                 Balance->MinEnyValue[Country] = 0;
              }
              if(Balance->MinEnyValue[Country] > Settings->MinEnyValue)
              {
                 Balance->MinEnyValue[Country] = Settings->MinEnyValue;
              }
           }
        }
     }
     else
     {
        for(Country=0;Country<pcMAX_COUNTRY;++Country)
        {
           Balance->MinEnyValue[Country] = 0;
        }
     }
  
     if(Balance->TotalPlayerCnt < 6)
     {
        for(Country=0;Country<pcMAX_COUNTRY;++Country)
        {
           Balance->MinEnyValue[Country] = 0;
        }
     }

We need the Lusche for this one.

Nobody does!

ENY is calculated by the population of players in the arenas as each team compares.... population wise to each other.

Hitech and crew assigned a value to each plane and GV. As an imbalance in population numbers increases it hits a threshold and starts disallowing the country/team with the higher population planes and vehicles based on these values

How many times do these same topics get brought up.....with the same people saying the same things, over and over and over...........

let me rephrase this. I understand how eny works. What i would like to know is how it is calculated. What formula is used to say that the Bish have a 3.3 ENY, or the knights have a 10 ENY, and so forth.

For example, lets say that there are 360 players online. 120 on team 1, 180 on team 2, and 60 on team 3. What would be the ENYs?

I think that ENY kicks in when a team has >40% of the total population and reach its maximum of 20 when a team has 50% or more of the total population.

Here is another one from another post:

Ok. then i might be wrong. However that is something i will never admit... 

[The Fugitive]

In the second the difference between the lowest and highest populated team is 10.5%. It looks like the trigger point is 10%. .5% gives you a .8 ENY and 12.1% (10% trigger and 2.1% more) gives you a 3.3 ENY then just with that math for every .5% over the trigger you get a .8 ENY. So 15% should give you an 8 ENY

I don't think there is any kind of graduated scale. I think Lusche has all the numbers figured out.

If I remember correctly, when programing in C a semicolon is used to tell the computer that anything after said semicolon on that line is a comment and not code. Looks like HT may have edited his notes out of the equation, probably for protection. I did however go through and manage to decipher it. I've re-inserted the comments as they most likely read.

   if(Balance->TotalPlayerCnt > 0 )
   {
      if(Settings->MinBalanceTotal != 0)
      {
         BalanceGain = (double)Balance->TotalPlayerCnt / (double)Settings->MinBalanceTotal;This line is for calculating the thing using the things above
      }
      else
      {
         BalanceGain = 1; Exactly as it says
      }
      if(BalanceGain > 1)
      {
         BalanceGain = 1; Exactly as it says agian
      }

      Least = 2.0;
      for(Country=0;Country<pcMAX_COUNTRY;++Country)
      {

         Balance->CountryPer[Country] = (double)Balance->PlayerCnt[Country] / (double)Balance->TotalPlayerCnt;
         if(Balance->CountryPer[Country] < Least)
         {
            Least = Balance->CountryPer[Country]; This is where I hide my sheep, no one can ever know
         }

      }

      if(Least != 0)
      {
         for(Country=0;Country<pcMAX_COUNTRY;++Country)
         {

            Balance->MinEnyValue[Country] =
               (Balance->CountryPer[Country] - (Least + Settings->BaseCountryPer)) * Settings->CountryBalanceScale * BalanceGain * 100;
            if(Balance->MinEnyValue[Country] < 0)
            {
               Balance->MinEnyValue[Country] = 0; This is the part that inflates egos
            }
            if(Balance->MinEnyValue[Country] > Settings->MinEnyValue)
            {
               Balance->MinEnyValue[Country] = Settings->MinEnyValue; This part makes the ego pop
            }
         }
      }
   }
   else
   {
      for(Country=0;Country<pcMAX_COUNTRY;++Country)
      {
         Balance->MinEnyValue[Country] = 0; This is responsible for rage quits

Imo, it should be:

((largest country pop. / smallest country pop.) x 100) - 100 = ENY limit.
