edit/also you know what would be even more awesome when it comes to blueprints... being able to like install more than one at a time. Eg select 10 and it performs the same action for all of them (stacked).

nice job!
Is is going to be possible to see the difference when using a cargo scanner?

Its an elegant, if not entirely perfect, solution. I like it.

This is a great change, and I enjoy seeing all the steps that went into making it happen.
Thank you very much!

This seems pretty complicated. Though the game is better for it.
In fact, I bet it would have been a whole lot easier to nerf scaps and would make the game alot more fun for many more people.

I mean, yay for the BPO and BPC (though the BPC icons look like they were done in 5 minutes by some cheap gone, something more spiffy would have been certainly better ) distinction!
But even more YAAAY for telling us how it all works. Writing these devblogs is surely serious work and consumes time. But they are sooooooo worth it.
Thank you! |

Given all those extra ids you got from the 64 bit conversion, wouldn't it have been easiest to just give the blueprint copies their very own item ids?
Given, you would have to figure out which item id a copy should have given an original with a different id, but this must be easy to add as an attribute to the original?
This would then work universally in cargo holds, in hangars and in the LP store.

that was actually quite complex and time consuming just to be able to tell originals from copies apart. ---

Thank you CCP! Greatest change ever! Now I can kill off the numerous containers I use to split everything.
Speaking of which, can we get a container that ONLY holds blueprints and is really tiny? Like a blueprint wallet or somesuch? Having so many BPOs and BPCs makes them impossible to transport from place to place. I keep running into the item count cap FAR before I hit the cargohold capacity, and you cant load expanded tiny containers into haulers anymore.

Ok, so. Now that you got this far. Make use of some more of these 30 bits you got available to play with and store the ME and PE values in there so that the client is easily able to show them as sortable columns in the item windows and as overlays when just displaying the large icons. |

No wonder they didn't want to do it.
Thank you though. I will say I will be sending CCP the bill for my first PTSD therapy session after the bright flash of light that was generated after I opened my alt's 'BPC' hanger after the change.
Great googley-moogely. Bright. |

Will this singleton flag change (1/2) be readable via API aswell? That would help lots of people with managing their industry and assets externally.
Haven't checked the API yet.

Sounds like this fix was just a big hack done to save some dev time. Not a good thing.

Much as I love this change, this is absolutely staggering to me. It took you eight years to figure out how to use negative numbers? I mean, it's not like this is really an obscure thing - as soon as I read that you had an Singleton database column, I knew exactly what the fix was, and my programming experience consists of a couple classes I squeaked by in undergrad. You didn't even use the 64-bit typeIDs, or any of the other difficult and recent stuff. You just deleted a worthless column, did an obvious extension of it, and then did some work to integrate it all. That last step probably ate a lot of man-hours, but nonetheless the process still completely belies all the stuff you've been saying since I started this game about how hard it was.
I know that you guys aren't the garage coders from 2001 that caused these problems in the first place, so I'm not blaming you for absurdities like the singleton column. And I know that the scut work to get a fix like this implemented can take quite a while. But why did you play it off like it was a technically challenging problem? It's the four years of dev comments that annoy me most here.

Quote: So, saving DB space and bandwidth, these two got merged into an integer 'quantity' column with the new semantic that negative quantities implied a singleton. We just mass-updated the inventory table turning all 'singleton==1' items into 'quantity=-1'.
So the quantity value is an integer... And the maximum value of an integer is 2,147,483,646(signed) so what happens if i have a stack of ammo greater than this value?

I assume you've asked this because you've never tried. I, on the other hand, have lots of trit lying around and have tried. The game doesn't let you stack more than maxint items. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Nothing the game automatically sizes the stack in two stacks of which one contains 2,147,483,646 units and the second one everything beyond that of the original stack.

During the fall with time dilation.
Great blog... its missing graph bacon though
So, since it seems there is the capability... when are we going to be able to modify our internal ship hulls and crew to sell in our incarna store fronts?
Wish there were some secret modules and ships out there to sell through the storefronts.
Imagine the day that moon goo is just as unprofitable as tech 1 manufacturing and the way you make your REAL isk is to dig up those secret files and artifacts and apply them to your understanding of various module and ship hulls in order to make something truly potent
Make sure there is lots of lore and intuitive thinking involved to avoid the push button recieve bacon situations we always get with eve I don't know where, I don't know when... but something awful is going to happen xD |
