Where can I find the changelog between versions?

Bugs:

Blue pill not applying to ancillary booster
Tracking Links in 'Projected Effects' not correctly applying script type
No way to project the effects of a bonused ship ewar to another ship (eg bonused damps/tracking links)

At least on Sisi, core defense operational solidifiers does have effect on ancillary shield boosters.

Drag and drop isn't working for me. Can't fit/unfit anything.

The tool looks promising but is unusable to me and reading the responses here I am not the only one though. And I am mad!

However I'll skip the trolling and give you some advice on how to make things better.

• Add a FAQ section to pyfa's website. Clearly here are a lot of posts about pyfa failing to start properly or fetch character information.
• Make your bug tracking system public (you have any, right?) and link to it. A lot of the people here are tech-savvy and able to report bugs properly. This will save you time. Time you could use making pyfa better, enjoying your real life or just playing EVE.
• Troubleshooting, installation issues and workarounds are part of every decent project, which pyfa has the ambition to belong to. How to see what went wrong? Where are the log files so we can send them to you or just check them? I cannot find log file(s) in any of the default/recommended locations on my Mac.

I understand you give up from your free/EVE time to create this tool and benefit the community. I deeply admire this. However if you do something, please do it right. If you can't, then ask for help. We'll be glad to.

"Welcome to the pyfa 1.1.8 Setup Wizard" Might need to update the version number.


AVG detects pyfa.exe as a virus, specifically a trojan called Dropper.Generic5.CGVA... (This was using the windows installer.)

Opening/creating a fit for the exhumers doesn't seem to be functioning.

404 File not found - http://dl.evefit.org/stable/1.1.9/pyfa-1.1.9-inferno-1.2-mac.dmg

Other exhumers and barges seem to work now, but I still have this issue with Procurer and Skiff.

I have encountered the same issue with the Procurer.

skiff was working for a while.. working on my second fitting i tried double clicking on an item to make it fit.. and it didn't show up.. so i did so again.. nothing.... tried again.. nothing

clicked back to first fit and saw fit.. clicked back to second fit... aaaand broken. restarted pyfa.. still broken on that one fitting

I uninstalled 1.1.8 and installed 1.1.9. Now it wont run.

Medium Mercoxit Mining Crystal Optimization I rig does not apply bonus correctly.

Win7 64bit, it crashes before any GUI appears with:
I note I have a pyfa.exe.log text file but it was last updated 23/07/2012, while I use PyFA almost daily and often it exits with a permission error.

it was either a cap flux coil or a cap power relay IIRC

the download link doesnt work for me keeps saying Oops! Page Not Found

Happens with Medium Core Defense Field Extenders too. I've locked out three exhumer fittings, a couple skiff fittings and I think one hulk, with both the T1 and T2 versions of that rig. The rigs, or at least one of the rigs, shows up in a ship info summary, but I don't recall how I pulled it up. Basically it was the window that showed what's affecting the ship and included stacking bonuses.

This bug extends to version 1.19 and you can't load fittings which use an Large Core Defense Operational Solidifier I/II.

If you add an Large Core Defense Operational Solidifier I/II to an existing fit, the rigs doesn't display and the fit becomes unloadable.

The website literally never works for me...just says page cannot be found

http://evefit.org/Pyfa/Installation

this one

I can't seem to uninstall pyfa. When I run the uninstaller it runs with no errors and says it's been removed but all the files are still there along with shortcuts. The program even runs just fine even though it's been "uninstalled". I would just delete the pyfa folder but I don't know what else would be left behind on my computer. I'm running WIndows 7 64-bit.

I still got one huge bug: I cannot exit this tool. Clicking on the X, nothing happens. File Quit, nothing happens. I always have to shoot down the application in the task mamager.

Just checking in. Ever since the latest update I still find that I cannot install PYFA on any of my 64bit window 7 machines. It crashes during install. If you need any data/info for troubleshooting feel free to contact me. I had to revert to EFT (HATE IT)

Any plans on releasing a test build based on the coming changes?

Weird - thought I posted this earlier but I don't see it in the thread.

Is there a way to do a clean uninstall on a Mac?

I love pyfa but i can't seem to get it to default to the current 1.1.9 without
using the dmg each and every time.

tried moving it to Applications but that way it doesn't run at all, just
brings up "pyfa error" dialog.

thanks, this tool is awesome.

Guys, can you make a special version with the proposed changes to t1 ships in the features and ideas section?

That would be a step ahead of other fitting tools!

Can't open evefit.org , the project is still alive ?

Does anyone happen to have a link to the Linux version of 1.1.9? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Nevermind. Found it here, if anybody else needs it.

So when is Pyfa: Retribution Edition releasing? This lack of ability to theorycraft new cruiser fittings (and figure out what to do with my Hurricane) is making me literally the saddest.

THE SADDEST.

(Really though, I'm going to be stuck on a laptop with a tiny screen and no discrete graphics for the next few weeks and I'd love to at least be able to play EVE Offline)

I agree. A uniform damage pattern by default is much less useful than a "worst case pattern". Many times in PVP you won't know what kind of incoming damage types you'll be taking, so a special pattern selection that reflects the worst case scenario is very helpful as a baseline. It ought supplant and supersede the uniform pattern as default, as not only will you never receive uniform damage in eve, but in actuality, the worst case is what most people are trying to reflect.

Also, a "worst case pattern" is not something you can set up practically, manually, with the percentages. Uniform damage is something you can do, as well as all the others. So, +1 for the worst case pattern.

good work with the page. easy to navigate and fast. (some of the dl links are broken)

The bundle doesn't seem to be complete. The pyfa.app/Contents/MacOS/ directory is empty, there's no pyfa.app/Contents/Info.plist either.

Not sure how much work it would be to get the bundle fixed up, but hopefully this info is helpful for someone that has the time and know-how.

I 'fixed' the problem by doing chmod +x /Applications/pyfa.app/Contents/MacOS/pyfa

Maybe the default unzip/untar utility does not preserve the execution bits ?

Is it possible to encode in Pyfa to store fittings in Pyfa directory ? At it really sucks when operating at 2 computers...

Can you please think about it during next update ?

Top menu bar does not show at my Kubuntu installation. What am I doing wrong?

Hey, having issues getting this to launch under OSX. I had a previous version which was working perfectly. Deleted the old version, copied the new version to my applications folder and now its not loading at all. Tried an older version as well... 0.9... still not working. Also tested under OSX Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard on two separate machines... and still not working.

Any ideas?

*EDIT*
OK, noticed a previous post regarding this issue... can confirm "chmod +x /Applications/pyfa.app/Contents/MacOS/pyfa" is solving the problem.

Just got a working archive from the site with no problems but the version number under Pyfa, About is 1.1.9.

As intended or no?

Also - seems i've now lost all my old fittings and character/api info =/

i don't want to push anyone, but pyfa was always known for being on the bleeding edge regarding new balancing changes... and there is still no build available for the patch on tuesday. Its basically the major motivation why i used pyfa over eft in past since i could basically test fittings a few hours after a devlog was released (which was incredible). The only reason why i didn't switch to eft yet is my laziness to convert the fittings :(

It was a file size issueGǪ the full program didnGÇÖt install and now I have it and you know what the Program is GREAT!!! have to learn the nuances with working with a mac and not EFT but it works like a dream!

Thanks Dudes!!!

Maybe it is only me ,but on market tab -> drones->combat drones sub tree missing , i can only reach drones from type drone name to search.

Ship missile velocity bonuses do not seem to be applying to Heavy Assault Missiles in 1.1.11

HAM Tengu in pyfa - 20.2 km, the same as on an unbonused ship (like HAM legion)

Ingame - HAM Tengu - almost 30km.

"Small Ancillary Current Router I" rigs does not add PG to ships. Also PG related skills does not apply.

I tried it on the new dessies, crucifier and arbitrator.

HI THERE

trying to install PYFA on my MAC for the first time but when running the application it says

GÇÿUnable to expand GÇ£pyfa-1.1.10-inferno-1.2-mac.tar.bz2GÇ¥ into Applications. (Error 2 - No Such File or Directory)

Any IdeasGǪ.

thanks in advance for the help

p.s. trying to download from AfghanistanGǪ how big is the file for this as I tried downloading a new version just in case and the file size was different to my first tryGǪ the download manager doesn't give me a file size.

Very nice! Can you still use overrides? And how would you do that? :)

Thanks

Not sure what you guys did in PYFA but HAM damage has decreased drastically. Fix it please.

Edit: Correction, from what I can tell, it seems to be only effecting the Legion with assault subsystem. Huge DPS difference.

I cant view any prop mods. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

FYI the release 1.1.11 version doesn't run on my Linux box (extracted from the src tarball as usual):

A fresh git checkout works though (as did the previous version, for that matter).

The Guided Missile Precision skill isn't being applied to torpedoes, rockets, and HAMs. GMP affecting unguided missiles is new in Retribution.

Scan resolution seems broken for me. Stacking rigs + other fitts should diminish it's effect, but that doesn't apply, giving false values.

I can't untar pyfa. Here's the error message:

tar xvjf pyfa-1.1.11-retribution-1.0-mac.tar.bz2
[...]
x pyfa.app/Contents/Resources/staticdata/eve.db: bzip decompression failed

I tried to build pyfa from source instead but I have a problem with one the submodule. Trying to clone the repo directly, here's the error I get:

can not open propulsion tab. help I have been trying to get pyfa to work for 2 days now.

Explosion radius and velocity aren't displayed in the fitting window for HAMs.

http://i.imgur.com/w8tni.png

Its in the charge stats, so this is just a display issue in the fitting window.

Sorry if I missed it as I haven't read all the pages on this thread but is there a windows installer version or a set of install instructions, I'm new to pyfa and trying to use it for the first time.

EDIT.

I will say that the readme.txt doesn't ahve any instructions I was smart enough to check there lol.

Is there a chance to get the new release where this is fixed ? THX :)

1. T2 HAMs don't show the explosion velocity and radius.
2. Guided Missile Precision isn't applying to any variety of HAMs, Torpedos, or Rockets.

Bug (or me being stupid): so i'm building a Hyperion with rail gun. I'm using the exact same modules, yet the ranges of both my gun and targeting range are a lot less.

Pyfa range: 115km
EVE range: 72km

i don't know enough of the inner working of range mechanics to really help, sorry.

Rigs and implants are still not having any affect on heavy assult missles. Thanks for a great ship fitting program, I have missed using it.

The UI freezes up (apparently unrecoverably) when I attempt to view the market group of a propulsion mod.

The terminal gives me:


Running on Linux, Python 2.7.3.


EDIT: Unrelated, but I receive a segfault-crash when I delete a saved fitting when that is the only open fitting.

PYFA reports a scan res of 2147 (Using all V). "In the field" I'm getting a touch over 1200 when I click "Show Info" on the ship. I'm suspecting stacking penalties are not being correctly applied.

Hey guys,

Thats nothing about PYFA but about PYFAs homepage.

I browse with Firfox and "Bitdefenders TrafficLight Plugin" for Firefox and every time i open "http://www.evefit.org", TrafficLight says "Attention, malware! This page contains viruses or other malware"!

Why ?

Does anyone have an explanation?

Tanks! :)

I just installed the Windows client. When trying to fetch my characters from old Aura API I made a while back, it gave me a message stating this: Unable to fetch characters list from EVE API!

I created a brand new API, with everything, no expiry. Same issue. My EveMon and EveHQ API's are working fine.

I'll keep trying throughout the day, but I figured I'd post here anyways.




**** EDIT *****

It just popped into my head. I'm running Windows 8 and I re-ran the client in Admin Mode. Sure enough it worked. *sigh*

I just figured I'd add this in case anyone else runs into this issue.

I'm not sure about other people, but for the latest build it is taking a really really long time to extract teh files from teh archive.

It's been going for about 30 minutes and windows was originally saying 2 hours +.

Edit: Pyfa no longer runs on my computer after doing this 2 hour install. Is it possible for me to recover my fittings taht were created in Pyfa and import them to EFT?

The log file is here if you want it

http://www.filedropper.com/pyfaexe

pyfa.exe.log

Professional or Normal?

Not sure if it matters, but could be a difference. Mine is Professional.

And to clarify it only needed to be Admin to do the API import, not run.

Can I make PYFA portable?
(I'd like to put it on a usb stick and use it from multiple computers.)

I don't know if this has already been reported, but one of the changes Retribution brought was GMP affecting HAMs. Pyfa 1.1.12 doesn't seem to have this in. I'm reading 215 explosion radius with Rage HAMs when it should be 161.5.

wasn't sure if this was asked before (couldn't find it) so I apologize if I just missed it.

How can I move PYFA to a new computer? I recently setup PYFA on my fun new Windows 8 pro tablet. I was easily able to export all of my fits and move them over via the backup fits and then import.

But what about all of my other data. I have a large number of characters, and damage profiles setup. I really dont want to have to manually re-key all of that data again.

Trying to create a T3 strategic cruiser fit (Loki/Tengu/etc), but all that comes up is subsystem and rig slots. I am also unable to "copy from clipboard" a T3 cruiser fitting. All other ship types appear to work as expected.

Windows 7 Professional (64-bit)
pyfa 1.1.12

(EDIT) - I've deleted pyfa, downloaded, and reinstalled and have the same problem.
(EDIT2) - Apparently T3 cruisers work like this? You have to put in subsystems in order to fit anything else. Still can't just copy from clipboard?

Second issue:

On Help -> About, clicking "pyfa home page" link at the bottom goes to an old URL ( http://www.evefit.org/Pyfa ) where the correct URL is http://www.evefit.org/static/pyfa .

Hello

1) Pyfa is awesome thank you for this amazing tool.

2) Is there a way I can load up ship changes into Pyfa before the next patch? Specifically I'm trying to start fitting the new rebalanced battlecruisers.

Thank you very much for your time.

I downloaded the newest pyfa, "installed" it, which was basically only unpackaging the .zip and followed the doc by the letter and it doesnt do **** for me.
I cant change any effects on any item.. getting really frustrated at this point.
not even pyfa\overrides\350mm Railgun II\attributes\speed.py with unmodifiedValue = 1.2 does ANYTHING on that item.
I also placed the same dir into \users\myuser\.pyfa and still doesnt work.
I'd really love to change my cyclones cpuOutput value aswell, but the http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/pyfa/wiki/Docs/ are no help at all.

Using Windows.

Would be grateful for some advice.

Thanks,
best regards
Demios

ETA? I've always loved how Pyfa is typically updated before EFT is; really anxious to be able to test out fits with the new stuff! Thanks!

Oh gee. A little late on a free fitting tool that you volunteer your time to keep updated. I guess we will let it slide this time.

Seriously though. Thanks for your dedication to it. Best fitting tool ever.

Pyfa looks great. But having a little trouble. I'm on a mac, downloaded it, extracted it, ran the exe. It runs and I can start doing fittings and all that. But I don't know how to use my character stats. The only options I have are all skills 0 and all skills 5. Was I supposed to extract it into a certain folder? Is there some way to get it to access api data?

Could someone point me in the right direction? Would be greatly appreciated

Great program, love how you keep it updated for us! Thank you!

Bug: Power Diagnostic System 2 is not giving correct bonuses.

Thank you for all your hard work on pyfa, it's really appreciated. Downloaded the beta earlier and have just noticed one bug, active armour rigs, auxiliary nano pump and nanobot accelerator, don't have any penalties when fit.

Is it just me or have none of the recent developments made it to the public git repo? At least a git pull results in an out-of-date version compared to the beta you linked.

Hi, is the code for the beta not in the git repo? Is it on a different branch?

I hope the beta is going well and can't wait for the stable version release, any idea on what kind of timeline, I know you are not getting paid to do this and you are awesome for making it by the way! EveHQ has been my backup and is not nearly as elegant as this tool.

I have seen some features in EveHQ though that perhaps would be useful to add to pyfa, such as showing how much dps we could tank of a given damage pattern (I get that EFH does this, but honestly this makes it a good translatable quick reference. Also, the ammo analysis (though clicking through each one isn't that big of a deal).

The Pyfa graphs are awesome, and the fact that you can quickly compare a range of ships against a target is awesome (the only thing that might enhance it, is allow the modules to effect the sig radius and speed of whatever base target you show per ship (but that probably screws up the universality of it, which is what makes it good). I usually modify the numbers myself depending on the effect I am trying to simulate. Anyway, great work on this!

I've got some problem in ver 1.1.12 and 1.1.13b with armor resistance phasing skill, it doesn't affected on armor reactive hardener but should reduce by 50% time duration and 25% capacitor use at lvl 5

I'm using OSX Lion. I seem to be having an issue where i cant type into any of the input fields. Is this a known problem?

Also grats on the app. Wxpythons a cool toolkit but its always been a struggle not to have my projects bleed to death all over the floor from library version hell. Your doing well!

Pyfa absolutely rocks!

I've got a problem with it tho. When adding a character to the app, It can't pull any skills from api. All skills are 0.

I've tried different kinds of api character masks, none works.

Using Current: 1.1.13 stable - Retribution 1.1.6 pyfa

Does anyone have a solution to this problem ?

I've resolved the issue, compiled it from source and everything works. The Best app out there for eve :)

Sig reduction ganglink not working when combined with ragnarok sig reduction bonus

Armoured warfare gang bonuses are not correctly applying to anciliary armour reps

Recently I've been getting this warning dialog on startup and when I look up a ship for the first time: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile. It doesn't seem to actually prevent anything from working but it's fairly annoying. What is that trying to tell me?

Also the search in the Market tab stopped working for me when I accidentally upgraded sqlalchemy to 0.8.0. It never returns any any results whether I put in a few letters or a precise item name, basically as soon as I start typing the list of modules etc goes empty. Is there any perspective for getting compatibility for that so I don't have to exclude that from package updates forever?

Err. I think Sakari has quit eve (im a corp member of his he pulled his assets earlier this month and went inactive without saying anything). Anyone know whats happening with pyfa? Really dont want to go back to EFT.

reported this to author via email long ago.... looks like no result

Just FYI, you may want to rethink what ad providers you use.

Currently at the top of your Pyfa page is a gigantic screaming green DOWNLOAD button, in the middle of a banner ad with a transparent background and nearly invisible ad text. That button does NOT lead to somewhere I can download Pyfa. It DOES lead to a page that immediately starts trying to install some stupid toolbar in my browser.

Just sayin, on a "download" page for your own software, you might not want to have the most prominent "download" link be something that wants you to download an entirely different and apparently unrelated product.

First, thanks and kudos to the creators, maintainers and contributors who made Pyfa the handy tool it is!

As I work with the Pyfa code, I wonder: how does one properly collaborate on and contribute to this project? The "Contribute" page is... sparse. Is this project officially mirrored on GitHub or Bitbucket where people can fork, collaborate, make enhancements / fixes and create pull requests to submit code the usual way? I do see unofficial forks on Github, but no indication they are feeding back to the main project at all.

In my spare time I've started dabbling with adding the capability to export the skills one needs to train for a given fit (which should overlap issue PYFA-12, though probably by way of EVEMon's XML import option rather than direct .emp support).

So far I can save the same data used to create the skills tooltip (as in CharacterSelection.fitChanged()) to a text file, which is pretty handy right there. It should be a rather short step to getting the proper XML output (I think I only need the skill IDs at this point - the rest is boilerplate) that would be EVEMon-friendly.

I guess I picked the right week to dabble with Pyfa! I look forward to seeing the github repo.

One thing that's not clear to me is how the installable packages of this get built. Clearly they are self-contained, and I wonder how that's done and with what versions of the various components? (Using the same process and versions of compilers and libraries would make bug replication and bugfix/enhancement testing far more repeatable).

I'm not looking for that answer here necessarily - it's the sort of thing that would go with the rest of the stuff on github (in the README.md, in makefiles, etc.) Just noting that it'll be quite handy for contributors.

Thank you again!

Fixed.


Also, mods - please close this thread in favor of new one.
