Edited by: Splodger on 25/02/2011 12:26:23 Hi all,
Well after quite a few months of coding and learning all sorts I finally decided to release a tool Ive made for exploring wormholes. Its still a work in progress project, but overall it works without complaining!
Its meant to be clean and simple, but give you the maximum amount of customizable information as possible at the same time.
N.B. Can also be used in highsec for shortest routes to trade hubs!
Screenshot
It currently only works in game. (May change later - due to different browser compatibility)

Alot of inspiration came from Jovelabs and Staticmapper and a big thanks to all the ideas and feedback from my Corp, any further feedback would be welcome.
Thanks Splodger

You know, at the start even before your allowed to use this tool, there are TWO warning. I even made a spiffy logo...quite enjoyed that! (doubt you even bothered to even load the link)
I could have been clearer about it but maybe thats part of the learning curve of releasing something, oh well live and learn.
Enjoy..or not. after all its your choice, else wait for a non-trust version.

i still warn those out there in the wh community of this tools security flaws. the people who would use this would be prime targets for a small organized group that are constantly on the move like the vipers.
All i am hearing are promises about how you wont use it that way. I know i'm not convinced and no one else should either honestly.
produce the code
EDIT:@khaz, by "secret" do you mean our code that our devs let you look at because you were former highers up in aharm? i'd sing plagarism to the chorus of halleluia if i could produce tone and pitch in text
1) Please carry on with your policing duties!
2) Please do not mis-quote me I have not promised anything, because eve is literally about trust, I give you the chance to trust me you either do or you dont.
3) No, this serves no purpose. any malicous code that can track people can be added in one line of text.... one line that is in no way vital to the website. and again refer to number 2, you seem to have a problem with this concept(you do have your own free will you know! really you do).
4) If your refering to plagarism, you do not own locus numbers, class id's, the arrangement of wormholes and mass number etc etc etc... these belong to the whim of CCP who at any point can change the "arrangement" oh how wormholes are put together. Anyone with enough time and common sense can work this out or even use staticmapper which i have cross referenced aswell to check the database I have is correct as possible but even so still incomplete in itself.
You know I honestly get your fears and concerns about what it can be used for I really do, but logistically think about tracking people and then the effort needed to hunt them down. Its far easier to close and open a hole I have an alt orca specifically for this.
I could have easily have used subtefuge and hosted on a different server and posted with an alt but I havnt, because I honestly dont care if you trust me or not, by all means Police all you want.

A list of things that can be kept in a database are Headers
This post is quite informative aswell Eve search discussion on IGB headers

UPDATED : to v1.Something else
Trust no longer needed to use - Just enter in the J-number / Locus. Credits - Apologies to Kirian for the late addition. Sig Size Calculator - Caused by Pocurk wanting to educate the world. Sig Size Tutorial - (IGB) http://www.splodger.com/wormnav/sighelp.php.
At some point I will still move it out of the IGB - so be paitent.
Enjoy.

Originally by: Pocurk
Finally i can see Splodger introduced the option to type in your location instead of hitting "update location". If that solves the tracking "issue" then YAY, but i still claim the best part of this aplication is that there is no typing involved.
Just to clear this up, we had a chat on vent earlier... it would still be possible but there wouldnt be any name attached to the systems visited which could be done with trust version. In essence any website you visit could also track you via a "session" but this goes into the realm of youd better either wear a tin-hat or not use the internet. - thought Id just try and educate and be totally transparent.
Cheers Poc, will update the sig info it to make it bit more clear.
@ Vjorn Angannon
Your welcome, nice to hear some positive feedback.

Edited by: Splodger on 16/03/2011 23:59:47 @Shaera Taam - Your welcome, and luckily for you ive added a new feature :D __________________________ www.wormnav.com - Wormnav has moved to its own domain now. (old one will still work for awhile) Out of game browser - Now works
Locater (Beta) - Register for an advert to pop up when someone searches for the wormhole you are in for the posibility of them helping you in/out. Market (Beta) - a place to buy and sell wormholes.
Would like some feedback on the Locater and Market if anyone is so inclined.
Thanks for everyone's support.

Originally by: Vjorn Angannon Cool stuff Splodger
Having it's own domain and OOGB should hopefully quell some of the naysaying that occurred (tho I've been using the IGB and still haven't been trounced by BVN).
Not sure if I will make use of the locator (if an advert were to pop up I may very well be tempted to shoot first ), but the market could be of use. Question: once a sell order is submitted, can it later be retracted? For instance, if I suddenly need my scanning alt in my home system and need to pod her out of the "for sale" system asap.
Vj
LoL I think we would be tempted to shoot first aswell, but if the price was right I would offer a route
I think we might be in opposite regions or constellations we generally see the same things and people over a certain period of time.
Yea it can be retracted by sending me an eve mail, after reading your post yesterday thought I might implement a "pin code" where you can set it up at the beggining and then when you want to delete you can use it again to do that.
Iam going to try find a balance that the wormhole community can use it but make it as self automated as possible so thanks for sparking the idea of a pin.
@ Ace - thanks bro

Edited by: Splodger on 29/04/2011 06:36:39 ive not logged ladar and radars because they fit into the scanning sig size logically ......like common ladar will be closer to a size ten where as a vast ladar, a far better quality will be down the scale near 2.5 Same for radars as they are generally good quality they are more often than not below the size 5 sig bracket. Ill do a better write up on sigs aswell soon. In essence the better the isk payout the smaller the sig size is more likely.

Originally by: Ayce Rymmer Brilliant tool Splodger, thanks for making it.
I can think of another couple of possible little improvements, just small user-interface elements. I'm one of the (tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist type) people who prefer not to give out IGB trust and want to use the Locus Entry field. I notice that when you type in the number it always needs the J in front, and if you press enter it just reloads the page instead of selecting one of the Wormholes that pops up in the box. Is it possible to make it so that: A) it will search up wormholes without having to type J in front of the Locus? And B) if when you press Enter in that field, make it so that it jumps to perhaps the first possible wormhole match listed in the popup? These two would mean you'd only need to use the num-pad to enter locus sigs, which means less movement of hands over the keyboard.
Cheers, you can ignore putting in the "J" now if you so wish (good suggestion).
i will definatly work on the option "b" aswell in near future :D
Originally by: Guillame Herschel I used the sig size calculator on wormnav.com last night but am not sure it worked as expected. With my ship, skills and gear, a size 10 sig was supposed to give a 3.58% result. There was a band of about 8 results from 3.58 - 3.61%, I scanned them all down, and not one of them was a wormhole.
it sounds like it still classed your Size 10's right. It may have just meant that you only have low Grav or ladar's in that system aswell. but the "banding does sound correct" and as stated by other below there is some deviance but sounds like you are on the right track.

Originally by: Bo Pipe Thanks very much, Splodger - I've really enjoyed using this tool.
I do miss one thing from Staticmapper, though - when you mouse over the static type (eg D845, U210, etc), it will tell you the target system type, lifespan, life mass, and jump mass. It is nice to get that info so easily without having to go to another website to look it up.
Any way to add some kind of functionality like this?
All added for you! (bit bland bit need to do a overhaul on colour etc).
Originally by: Raid'En also spoldger i saw you forgot something that some people will like ; you only offer values for a covert ops.
i'll suggest you to add a choice with probing frigate, and ships without probing bonus. only a few lines of codes, and can be pretty useful for people stucked with a terrible ships, and so in need of help.
also add eveeye IPS on the links, it's a pretty good site for WH data ;)
Added eveeye aswell, yea fixed the calculator couple days ago only to reflex wh statics and noticed that you needed to set it to 0 for cov-ops.
Got a better plan/fix maybe for it but cheers for the heads up.

Update : 09/09/2011
Looking for wormhole guides, recources, podcasts and blogs. So if you could mail me links in game or via wormnav.com that would be great.Iam going to try link everything on a reference page so any support in gathering info would be appreciated.
