Your killboard is only usable when I zoom completely out via Ctrl+mouse wheel, but by that time I cannot read a thing. Otherwise it takes everything from eve-kill.net and makes it twice as hard to read.

I think it looks kind of snazzy, but the way to which you get to individual kill reports from the lists seems unintuitive compared to eve-kill. In fact in a related kill report, I wasn't able to find a way to quickly go to a specific kill report without scrolling down to the bottom.

Also related kills doesn't show how many more will be involved. When I am hunting for a good kill report, I often use that number to find the most complete report.

Also, I don't see a way to see kills/losses broken down by month. There seems to be a lot of information that is missing, I hope you bring it all back in some way or another.

I really like it, especially using bootstrap - always saves a billion hours using that framework.

I'm wondering how you got such accurate market data - were you using the eve market relay or some other system?

Love the layout - simple and to the point.

Where's the source though?

looks terrible.

No ship fitting screen (not talking about EFT fit, but fitting visualization)

Dont try to copy that useless Battle Clinic KB with the way dropped/destroyed items are shows - we need proper visible distinction (like you have it right now with green background on dropped items)
To much information, to big boxes for each thing, we need it more condensed.

I just wanted to let you know I got the error, "SMTP Error: Could not authenticate. Mail error: SMTP Error: Could not authenticate." when I registered for the site. I can still login.

Eve-kill seems to forget pilots kills all the time now. As an enormous killboard *****, I check my main's killboards religiously, lately every time I look it says I either have no kills or only shows a few recent months of kills. Is this likely to be fixed soon or are we looking at a complete transition to the Zkillboard. I'm also a bit concerned that on EVEKill I have 1700 kills on a particular pilot but only 1100 on the Zboard.

One thing I did notice though, km's don't seem to display values > 1B?

The only reason that people still uses battleclinic is the general rankings (alliances, corporations and pilots)
Should be a good idea to make something like that :)

Looks good. WTB some proper API documentation though.

"please login or register to view top kills"

The kill-board is crap due to this main reason, the board has been designed around one focus greed! WTF is this ****?

So not only do you want advertisement and CCP to give you money for a new server but you also want to collect a mass of emails from eve players for some strange reason..

I might design a nice simple, responsive site togive you guys some competition. It will share kill-mail information with a HIVE, the hive will link to a cluster of donated mysql databases all linked with at-least 2 copies of 1 killmail randomly distributed, a truly open system for the community.

As for your idea of a hive thing, it could most likely work - it could also fall on it's face real hard. I'm mostly seeing it doing the latter

Oh i can make it happen don't worry about that, just take a look at my portfolio www.froggycreative.com.

However, i would rather engage with projects that are already out there for the community, if this killboard doesn't turn into a ransoming monopoly on other 3d party developers or users then i am happy to contribute to this project if it is needed.

- modifier to not respond items
- modifier to not respond attackers

- modifier to respond involved ally/corp stats

Won't happen today, but it will happen :)

I miss the "view kill" button/link inside the related kills. Its always good to see kills from that list
Corporation API's are listed as pilot API at the "me" page

nice!! one more thing i found today:
http://zkillboard.com/api/systemID/30001160/pastSeconds/172800/
that link seems ok to me but doesnt work. it throws this error:
Message: Must pass at least one required modifier. Please read API Information.
adding eg /kills/ doesn't help.

thanks again

Can we get the number of kills for each faction added to the top 10 page? For example how many of the following kills in Aideron Robotics were faction warfare kills?

http://zkillboard.com/corporation/1894214152/top/

i think the api modifiers
- orderDirection/asc/
- orderDirection/desc/
have no effect. i would like to get latest kill first...

Are you planning to stop the feed terrorism you established in eve-kill.net and make normal XMLs or output original CCP XMLs or will continue 'draw KMs as i like' practice ?

The return is in JSON.

No. It's another pictures from an excibition.

Also, I don't see a timestamp km was posted into database and can't start to pull from it. Without it, it's impossible to create robust fetcher.

How do you have to call the api to walk through all kms starting at a certain id?
http://zkillboard.com/api/kills/afterKillID/15445465/ < doesn't work

Also would it be possible to reference an truly sequential internal id? CCP ids are not very useful for syncing, as theres no way to tell when all kms have been finally fetched for a given id range.

The feed terrorism?! wut?

Which should be easier to parse for everyone involved.

You don't need a timestamp for when it was posted into the database, all you need is a timestamp for when the kill was made on TQ, which you get ;)

Hey,

I noticed on the "solo" tab, kills that have an NPC or a warp disrupt bubble on them don't show up as "solo".

I think this should be changed to allow all kills that have only 1 player (regardless of what else) on them to count as solo.

I've put a lot of thought into this and it boils down to this: "If external factors somehow contributed to the killmail then that killmail is not solo." I feel the same way about booster alts, however, the API doesn't account for those in a killmail...

I believe I found a bug on the user account home page (http://zkillboard.com/account/me/). In the row "Default Comment Character" it lists my character ID, not my character name. The dropdown used to select this character is working fine, however.

I've submitted a bug using the feedback as well with a link to this post in case you check there first.


Also, how soon can we expect to see corp and alliance killboards? Will our custom URLs from eve-kill transfer over to zkillboard?

Some usability issues:

# involved pilots - make the rows where it shows the pilot a link to the loss (if there is a loss) just like on eve-kill, far more intuitive

# home page listing kills and losses and stuff - I made an awesome jpg illustrating how I think it would look more slick, providing slightly more information while being more intuitive at the same time.

http://box.jisko.net/i/9753f212.jpg

basically it separates the victim info from the victim's ship info and clears some space with the removal of the lost ship (there's an icon for it and you can show the ship name with mouseover or something), and it adds final blow imagery (char/corp/ally) just as its shown for the victim. It also aims to separate the victim and final blower columns because each column's contents are centered on the very column respectively (awful english, but the image should explain it), making it easier to read the page.
Also icons for the killmail link (perhaps a skull for the mail and a letter for the comments instead of my painted icons).

And I would like to see an site intern comment feature, or at least no 3rd party links like disqus lists.


Other then that: ******* awesome stuff, keep it up!

Nice suggestions. I'm going to study your image a bit more later.

Oh, there *is* an internal comment system btw!

[quote=Squizz Caphinator]
Well, there WAS one on eve-kill as well, until disqus came... :D

I'd very much like to just be able to log into the comments on the site, currently it only is 'anonymous', even while logged in (bug on my side?); perhaps one can even go with an API verification to make the **** poster's life a bit harder.

Yea, Karbo mentioned above that he broke that and hasn't fixed it yet. Send ragemail to Karbowiak :)

Hello Gents,

Awesome work so far I really like this new look and feel.

I have noticed that what EVEkill shows in kills is not represented on the New System.

On the New system it says I killed 1,023 and on EVE kill it is 1810 under Kane.Killmail.net

Will you be importing kills from EVE kill?

This is because zKB only has API verified kills at the moment. So that 600 kill discrepancy means there are 600 kills that zKB doesn't have the CCP provided xml.

Yes, we will be importing manual mails, so no worries about that.

First page, last post.

Minor glitch in IE:

http://download.dog-net.org/easyshare/pictures/20121220125212.jpg

Its horrible, cluttered, lots of information repeated, terrible layout.

Basically takes a nice simple design like evekill and makes it overly complicated for no reason. Also hate the stupid "look at me I am a big UI" thing you have going, makes scrolling more frequent.

EDIT: Even if i have added my API things to my account on the killboard, it only shows that i have 79 kills there now while i have close to 700 in total now according to EVE-Kill and Battleclinic.

Will the rest of my kills be synced to the killboard anytime soon?

Please read at least the last page of this thread.

Is it me or are the Post killmail thingie bugged on this killboard?

When i try to post a killmail and press Post, then i get this long error message:

Mail posting is still not implemented, what you're seeing is the parser spitting out your mail in array form.

As for your mails, we will move mails over sometime soon, but as the board also says on the front page - it's still beta.
So stuff that is missing, is missing cause we havn't gotten around to it yet ;)

The UI isn't final, as for the whole 'overly complicated for no reason' - what?..

And yes, it's big, it's larger than EVE-KILL, and it's just a thing you have to get used to

I'm sorry to say, but if you've ever worked on an EDK killboard, you'll find that it's far more complicated than it needs to be and the way it's developed is quite dated to today's standards. While the zkb may not initially be to your liking and change is hard, in this case, it's for the better.

I am well aware how bad the coding for EDK is, most of the methods used in the CSS/HTML is no longer used and most of it is a mess. However from a viewers perspective, it does present the information easy enough.

EDIT: can not even imagine how badly its server scripting and database is :p

stuff

I suggest you would add wormhole class to any w-space kill, e.g.:

J160722 (C6)

We know. That's why this site is BETA. No point in getting yourself censored over stuff that's beta! :)

array(5) { ["timestamp"]=> string(16) "2012-12-28 02:42" ["victim"]=> array(8) { ["Victim"]=> string(12) "Joz Yavavich" ["Corp"]=> string(20) "Wildly Inappropriate" ["Alliance"]=> string(20) "Goonswarm Federation" ["Faction"]=> string(7) "Unknown" ["Destroyed"]=> string(10) "Broadsword"

The application could not run because of the following error:

a:hover = white on a white background :o

What you think about the killvalues at the main page?

How come that I only have relatively new kill/loss mails. There are a significant number of them missing that are on eve-kill. Even that has some missing.

*ahem* Please read other posts. Thank you.

Hire me for a week (4hour days) for 10 billion isk and i will transform the front end design of your site into something more beautifull than my face.

Not a bad idea. I've added it to the TODO list.

I honestly think that saying it's C6 is bloat and useless information.

Battle-wise it does not add anything valuable - because it just says anomaly strength, but omits anomaly type. So you either add both anomaly type and strength (e.g. C6 Wolf Rayet, or Wolf Rayet 6), which is imo good idea, or do not add it at all.

really? ****.. YOU'RE HIRED!

Your loss bro.

I love how you make these grandiose statements and offers - yet, i see nothing of value that makes me, or anyone else for that matter - take you seriously

So yeah, there is that Nicky..

All you need to know is this, when it comes to the web, i'm a magician!

All you need to know is this, when it comes to the web, i'm a magician!

Love zKB so far, much more cool than eve-kill imho.
One thing you could add is a "Low-Sec" kills tab!

I'm tempted to develop an awesome site built of the zkillboard api, what is the maximum amount of calls per an hour?
Or is there none?

Just an update on some recent changes:

• "Teams" on the related pages got smarter.
• Some minor layout tweaks. More coming.
• Admin tools received some loving.
• Various bits and pieces I can't remember atm

You can sent me your script to [email protected] ?
I create KB for www.eve-ua.com

Remove the links to the ship type and the character name, no one is going to click them they are just in the way.
Make the link to the killmail a block. As on the main page i tend to click the ship name thinking its going to go to the mail but it goes to the ship type..

Uh, yeah..

We will open source the killboard eventually, and also make it so it can be translated into various languages.
But you might have to read the license we attach to it.

It will probably make some people mad

Will the license say we must have your ads on it?

Well, seeing as the license will be custom, and wont allow anyone to monetize it in any way, then no.. no ads 4u!

A quick update:

A couple of bugs fixed, including team lists on the Related page possibly linking to the wrong killmail in some rare cases.

zKillboard is now the home for everything KillLog API related. Eve-Kill now redirects all API key submissions to zKB.

WARNING!!!!

Karbowiak stated he's going to work on the templates this weekend to make them more tablet friendly. He will a) (95% chance) do a decent job but break something significant and leave it for me to fix, or b) (4% chance) Do a kickass job! or c) (1% chance) rage hardcore about bootstrap and give up on the whole idea.

You've been warned

@Karbowiak
If you need an extra person to help with the responsive stuff or perl parsing let me know.

Loving what you're doing so far. Can't wait for you guys to be finished. Once you release it, would you prefer people simply use your site itself, or host their own instance of it? I've been using EDK for a while now, and have been looking for an alternative to that mess. Also, is the domain tracking feature working yet? Some kind of simple tutorial on how it works (if it is working yet) would be good.

A couple things I found:
- On the Kill Detail Setup page in the account settings, once you select something and hit apply, the box always reverts to yes. It properly affects the pages, but the drop-down box reset is misleading.
- I'm not sure if you guys designed the themes or if they were just templates, but in the superhero/slate themes, listed losses have light text on a lighter background. It's hard to read the text, and (if I you want to be nit-picky) the background color almost seems out of place with the rest of the color scheme.
- Last, my anal OCD is kicking in here, but the search box has no space to the sides of it before the separators. Not sure if anyone else really would even notice, but it's bugging the **** out of me for some reason. >.< Lol.

loving zkb, tweaks and bugs im sure are to be expected on a project of this scale, haters gonna hate etc

the business model is good, but dont let the idea of open source ruin your project imo, keep producing the quality to price ratio you have over the years and i like many others would love to support you rather than host our own

can we expect see even the beta of zkb get released for corps and alliances to subdomain off of anytime in the next while?

An obvious question: is your killboard available for download?

I'd like to install my own zkb.

I really appreciate that you guys are tyring to do something new.

I would like to toss a few ideas out here to see you're not as worthless as Battleclinic.

As an alliance leader.. the main stuff I look for in killboards are STATISTICS.
These appear to be broken often on Eve-Kill.. and completely missing from your site.

- I want to see Corp top 10 pilots lists, per month... I would prefer to see a corp's top 20-30 pilots, and be able to see that month-by-month
This comes in very handy for both recruitment and retention.

-I want to see Corp statistics, month-by-month... and preferably a replication of the old 'Corp Stats' link (module) where you could see a kills/member (for the month) column... along with other useful columns such as # of players in corp, losses, kills, isk loss, isk kill, etc.

The board as it stands is a huge headache to look at.
-There is too much spacing inbetween lines.. often presumably caused by oversized icons.. especially the kill list where it is the most ridiculous.

-BLue on black isn't as easy to look at as you think, esp when it's oversized and in looks like it's in bold.

-I am using IE9 and when I hover over Overview shiptype summaries, everything shifts a bit to the right (column width expands) and that causes everything else on the page to shift to the right and down... making sections bounce around the page.

It's one thing to be a bit of a headache to look at... but without detailed statistics... there board would serve no purpose to anyone I fly with in game.

Don't be like Battleclinic.. don't be that horrible mess of oversized icons and colored text with very little substance.

If you did include all the stats I mentioned, I would have no problem paying RL money or in-game isk to support such a killboard.. and encourage everyone I know to do the same.. even if it remains as ugly as now or worse, looks like BC.

Thank you and good luck!

I like it, did notice a couple things probably already mentioned but... 1) I like when you resize the window (window width) things shift and/or collapse but the transitions are jerky. Best guess would be from the modernizr plugin. 2) This may have nothing to do with site, would have to use it more, but it took a very long time to load a km (2m+), Looks like it was hanging on the image server, perhaps do a long cache on images since they rarely change.

First off, thanks to everyone who is positive about what we are doing with zKB, it's awesome knowing we are doing stuff mostly correct.

That's awesome! I didn't know. I will look into that (but the defualt page.. imho.. should look more like the old KB and less like BC... not exactly like the old KB.. just more compact and less eye-rapey).

I undertstand why there are no stats yet.. i imagine those queries could bury your hardware, if not properly configured.


Will there be ad-free options for paying customers?


ttys!

Lucian, just to give you an idea of what is there but not available via links (yet):

Thorn Alliance Top 10 page for December, 2012
http://zkillboard.com/alliance/596408142/top/year/2012/month/12/

Some monthly stats (this page is very, very unfinished and kind of broken atm):
http://zkillboard.com/alliance/596408142/history/

Mighty sexy Killboard you got there.

Getting a database down message trying to log in, so I'll ask here, is the board set up(or are there plans to set up) allowing a CNAME to point to the board so that corps and alliances can host their KBs with it while maintaining URL conventions?

ie. can we point kills.nucleararmsexchange.com at the board and have it load our killboards since(at least for now) we can't set up our own?

/me looks forward to never dealing with EDK again.

I can't find a kill on zKB but I found it on evekill: http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=16280979
Could u check it out?

Ty for your great job, I like ZKilloboard much more then evekill!

Yes, cnames will be supported with the domain tracker :)

It aint working 100% yet tho, but i'll be whipping Squizz in the coming week to get it working

2 things on this.

One, it doesn't appear to be working at all, but since you guys are working on it there is no point to saying more, lol.

Two, it would be useful to have an instruction on the Domain Tracker page telling exactly what domain name to set the CNAME up pointing to. zKillboard does not seem to do subdomains the way EVE-Kill does, instead having a URL path pointing to the alliance. Should the CNAME just point to zKillboard, where it will be handled as a vhost, or will the lack of subdomains be changed?

This killboard is too nice, I got people wanting to know why we are not using it fully yet, no matter how much I tell them beta ;)

Manually posted mails (like the one you linked) are not crossposted to zKB..

Not yet anyway. We're in the process of moving kills over, but it's going at around 15k mails an hour. So moving over ~12m mails will take a while

Feel free to crosspost it tho, or simply add your API to the site

I recently disputed a mail on EVE-Kill and it was removed from there but it still shows up on zKillboard. Is there somewhere else to make a petition/dispute for zKillboard or will all that eventually update as your work progresses?
Absolutely love what you've done with it so far!

First of all great work so far. But there are a few things i miss: (if you already answered them, forgive me i didnt read all Pages carefully and could missed something)

1. I really like the monthly Summary in eve-kill were i can see the Sum of Kill/Losses of this month. I found it really useful and i cant find anything similar in zKillboard.

2. A Total Number of Solo Kill. I can see a list of all solo kills but i cant find the total number wich i should be not to hard for you to calculate.
(I also think that a solo kill is a KM with only 1 player and npc dont count. But since you made you position about this clear i will shut up now :) )

3. As other people sad before i find most of the icons to big and also some space to large. In overall i have to scroll a lot to get the same amount of information as in eve-kill.

But keep up the good work, i really like what you did so far :)

I have to say Killboards are a dime a dozen these days, however, I am really feeling the layout and general visual dynamics of this particular one. There are also some good comments and advice on tweaks here also as far as updates for the board. I will be trying this soon. Great work!

- Spacing on the board won't change anytime soon, some like it, others don't. As for the theme, make an account and you can select from a few different themes.
Everything is pr. user, so you can customize everything to YOUR liking, not the liking of whomever set up the board

Any plans to open this up to custom themes? I use a browser on top of EVE so the browser is less than half screen size. With the current default layout zkillboard is in one giant column.

Also zkillboard is very responsive, is that because of superior programming, or not enough users yet?

Thanks for creating an alternative!

[quote=Karbowiak]Also zkillboard is very responsive, is that because of superior programming, or not enough users yet?

One of things about the way we've desgined zKB is that the more users using zKB, the faster the site gets overall.

Sarah, thanks for your feedback. Just so you know, we aren't going for "bigger is better". The bigger look is just a side effect of bootstrap.

Also, that battle report page will be getting some major love as it is far from complete. None of us are happy with the way it works atm, but its there as a placeholder until we get around to the presentation.

Nice mods on that PonyWaffe site, I haven't seen those before.

I was really impressed by the zKB performance in comparison to EDK, so I honestly hope the presentation is going to be far better than EDK as well. I realized it's still in beta, so I'm expecting alot more to come! Great work! (I can't say this enough :P)

As for the PonyWaffe KB, I didn't write those as mods (unfortunately) so it was a direct modification to the .tpl and some of the template process files and minor alteration to the core as well.

Question though, would you guys be releasing the source to public or better yet do you guys have any plans on packing the engine for public consumption later on? I'm sure a lot of us would very much like it if there are plans for doing so.

zKB is a crazy performer, simply stunning, and it seems to only get faster, eventho we're filling it with more and more mails

As for you modifications of the tpl files, i really, really like them. Hell, i might even be willing to tell you to start making zKB look equally as good

As for your question, yes we plan on making the source public (open source but with a slight restrictive license, you can see it on the information page if you want).
As for using it as an pilot, corp or alliance killboard, you'll be out of luck. Atleast initially.

We are coding zKB specifically for EVE-KILL, and the usage it'll see there. So we havn't given any thought to people who want to use it for their corp or alliance.

That having been said, we want to rectify this down the road, but eve-kill is first priority atm, and will be so for quite some time.
HOWEVER! Everyone is free to help develop the project further, and make it even better in every possible way.

But we'll have way more information about how, when why etc. etc. etc. when we get closer to open sourcing it

Please make the killmails and battlereports embedable

This is something I have thought of and would like to do. But please keep in mind that it isn't as easy as you might think. Sure, we can make something that will just hand the html over to you, but what about the CSS formatting? Will your server properly include that? Will the forum/blog/reader embed it properly? Will the client properly parse it? In some cases yes, other cases no, and we're too lazy of programmers to really want to account for all the cases.

For now, include a link and it'll just work! :)

Hi guys, thanks for all your work on this KB. I love it.

One question though, my all-time kills in Zkillboard don't match up to eve-kill. What's it not counting?

p.s. sorry if this is a)obvious or b)frequently asked.

looking at Twig (the template system) and noticed it wasn't actually caching the templates.

I told you this when we started using Twig!

<3 you karbo

Just FYI. It looks like tier3's current are not worth any points, I imagine this is because CCP changed the groupID for those ships.

example: https://zkillboard.com/detail/-8308208/ or any other tier3 loss

My corp was founded by a friend of mine in 2009, but zKillboard lists kills going back to 2007.

I'm assuming this means that a corp with an identical name was founded in 2007, but disbanded some time before 2009. Then was re-founded by my friend. The API then considers it to be the same corp, due to the identical name. Correct? Is there any way to omit the kills from 2007 and 2008 to get a more accurate picture of my corp history, or is this just one of those "deal with it" consequences of the API?

It also says we have only 2 members in the corp, when I know we have 11. How often is that updated?

Hello,

I love the new look and the design of zKillboard! I was just curious, is it possible to download the source and host my own? Thanks!

I've noticed that when I click on kills to examine them, and I try to go back to the previous page, pressing back reloads the kill page again. This started happening about two weeks ago or so. Is this working as intended?

Edit: It appears that this issue has something do to with the ads being disabled by Adblock Plus.

Just tested the page on a multitude of pages, both with ads blocked, and without ads blocked, and it seems to work just fine.

It was tested with latest dev version of Chrome with Adblock+

Thanks for looking into it. I updated to the latest dev version of Chrome and everything is working fine now. Sorry for thinking it was something wrong with the site! Great job and keep up the good work!

I can donate some time alongside my personal projects, msg me if interested.

Since last post, we have created a few new things, and fixed some bugs.

Could you add a option to show estimated ISK Value of the Kill? That could open up many interesting analysis to be pulled from the API :)

Poetic, I know I told you I'd look at it last week but that was before I had a pretty big work project dumped on me. I do all of my zkb work in my free time and that was sorely lacking. I will def. try to look into that issue this week.
