Writing Tool: GTS Converter

[Ricebowl]

Most Recent Version: 3.04
v3.04 is currently being hosted by Asukafan2001 on his site here: http://shrinktopia.com/convertor.html

Anyone who's written a growth or giantess themed story has probably used, seen, or tried and failed to find a giantess converter to find specific dimensions and measurements of a woman of a given height. The only one I've ever found was the Giantess Magic GTS Converter v2.1 by Byl. This was a pretty good tool, it had its flaws but it was certainly better than nothing. As some of you may have noticed, the Giantess Magic website went down some time ago. In case anyone still wants/needs the original GTS Converter, it's now being hosted on Katelyn Brooks' webspace.

However there were several complaints about this converter's accuracy, and I thought it could use some additional information. So I decided to update it.

Tell me what you like, what you don't like, and what you'd like to see and I'll get on it. You can safely ignore everything in the quote box if you don't like to read.

Here's what's new/different from v2.1 as of v3.02:

• Generally redid the layout to make the page look "cleaner."
• Reformatted the tonnage fields to accommodate much larger numbers.
• Added commas to the fields that will commonly go over 10,000.
• Added a "miles" field in addition to the existing feet and inches fields in the conversion.
• Added several new measurements: Mouth dimensions, tongue dimensions, areolae/nipple data, milk duct data.
• Added metric conversions for all measurements.
• Added a shoe size selection.*
• Adjusted the breast dimension calculation algorithms, added additional cup size selections.**
• Added additional height/length/weight data to the reference section.

New in 3.03:

• Slight layout restructure.
• New measurement fields: Shoulder Width, Hip Width, Height to Chin.
• Adjusted all "Height to Key Body Part" algorithms.***
• Reworked the "Height to Cusp of Breast" algorithm to be effected by cup size.

New in 3.04:

• Added one or two decimal points to several fields where fractions of an inch are relevant to interaction or growth.
• Tweaked the formatting to accommodate the decimal points.
• The "converted" standard height now evaluates the input value properly.
• Adjusted the foot width algorithm to be a bit more proportional to the length of the foot.
• Adjusted the shoulder width to be slightly thinner, befitting a more feminine frame.
• Adjusted the hip width to be slightly thinner, it was a bit too wide before even for the most full figured of women.
• Added road width info to the reference section.

Requests for next release:

• Redo the hip width algorithm.
• Redo the hand/finger size sections.

Help: Things I'd like to do but can't:

• Metric entries. I do not have a strong enough grasp on the ordering/intermingling of Java functions or HTML accessing data in scripts to do this without doubling the existing equations.
• Visual aid. I'm currently learning flash to add this in. If you'd like to help, let me know.

Note: I'll release the next version as soon as 2 things are changed/fixed/added or 3 days pass without further requests.

*The original converter assumed that a 5'8" woman had feet that were 8" long. That's a size 3 (Women's US) shoe. That's pretty small, so I made it selectable by shoe size. The converter now supports shoe sizes between 3 and 15 with half sizes for each.

**The original converter assumed that every cup size meant that each breast was an inch larger in every dimension. So in the original, the difference between a B and C cup was that a C cup came a full inch further off the woman's chest. However in common bra measurements, the difference between cup sizes is a single inch in the overbust measurement (so the distance is a single inch more over both breasts), meaning each breast would be closer to half an inch larger. It also presumed that each breast was always 2 inches wider and 1 inch taller than how far it came off the chest. This is wildly inaccurate as the common D cup is about 3x taller than it is long and slightly less wide than it is tall (when standing). I changed these calculations significantly.

***The original equations were based in presuming the height of those body parts on a 5'8" woman. The new algorithms work by using general relative body sizes described in figure drawing.

Explanations:

• The size field that states how tall she is as a giantess is redundant. It's there to give symmetry for the metric conversion of her height.
• The leg length field is redundant as the converter already states how high her crotch is. It's there for convenience and better grouping with the arms/hands data.

NOTICE: This is an .html file, but this board does not allow .html files to be uploaded. I am uploading it as a .txt file. To use it, rename the file and change the extension to .html.

If you've renamed it and it's still opening in notepad or whatever your default .txt document opener is, then you're just changing the file name and not file type. Go to Tools>Folder Options>View and uncheck "Hide known file types" and check the filename again. if it's "Giantess Converter v3.0.html.txt" then simply delete the .txt. When it prompts you that it could change what type of file it is, click ok.

MrHHH has been working on a similar upgrade. The metric is nice in yours, though.

Now there's a nifty tool, thanks for the heads up. *right-click saves*

You might wanna tell him that the original converter is correct for the neck height. The human body is approximately 7 head length's tall, and the vertical distance from the base of the neck to the cusp of the chin is about .25 head lengths (it's about .334 head lengths from the base of the neck to the jaw, but we're talking strictly vertical height here). And so for a 60 inch tall woman, the height at which the neck begins is 60/7*1.25=10.7, or about 11 inches. 5 feet minus 11 inches is 4'1".

However, the converter does not use those exact algorithms, it just uses very primitive approximations based on the measurements of a 5'8" woman. I guess I could rewrite the equations so that they are more "accurate" as universal equations rather than depend on a potentially slightly off measurement that is multiplied by a factor. If the original measurement was off by even a fraction of an inch (which it most certainly was), that fraction would create a greater error in measurement as numbers got bigger. Making it an equation that depends purely on the height of the woman would remedy this.

Edit: It really is remarkable that two people released updates to the GTS converter independently almost 12 hours apart from each other (my original upgrade v3.0 was released on Giantess City, 10.8.2007 at 6:45 AM). Great minds think alike eh? Thanks for the heads up, had no idea anyone else was doing this, let alone that it was so close to my own.

Nice upgrade! good work

I would like to be able to use this with shrinking characters as well. Any chance of working in some calculations for that? Also I'm looking for a rate of growth/shrinking that breaks down the growth into increments.

Thanks,
