Zoon	Posted - 2005.06.17 13:34:00 - [1] http://ffs.zoon.me.uk Agent Search Tool Has the base 8680 agents from Oveur's original devblog release of data, and also has the recently updated agents from t20's data export. There are over 2000 more introduced in t20's data export, however from what I can see, only 1229 of those appear to be ingame and accessible currently. The remainder seem to have null corp IDs. Currently missing feature(s): It only shows system and corp but does not show station - some time shortly I will update the tool so that you can click the agent name and it will display the full station name, and probably with a picture of the station in a style similar to the ingame station info thingy (but not in breach of copyright of course). NPC Search Tool This is coming shortly to the website. It works on my PC at home, just need to get it onto the website itself Please leave any feedback here. Unless you're swearing at me. In which case, please send it to [email protected]
Zoon	Posted - 2005.06.17 13:50:00 - [2] Originally by: MacMillan Nice Site, The sort by agent lvl didnt seem to function unless i just failed to do it correctly. Any chance of a sort by agent quality too? Well done btw Yeah just noticed and fixed that! And added in quality. Give it a go.
Zoon	Posted - 2005.06.17 15:11:00 - [3] Edited by: Zoon on 17/06/2005 15:14:32 Originally by: Xron Would also be nice to set a home base and then be able to have it show how many jumps the agents are away from this base that you set. I realize that this would be a much more detailed / bigger undertaking, just saying it would be nice 8) Its relatively easy to do that, there's one in the mission resources sticky that can do it, but that's not what this tool is about. The tool was designed firstly for my needs and since I found it handy I thought I'd tell ppl about it. When I find an agent I want, I'll build a battleship in the station, take over some ammo, and then shuttle / inty between them, so knowing how many jumps away from a "home" system isn't of much use to me I'd recommend the quite excellent Eve Map tool over at http://www.eve-i.com if you want a totally offline map browser / route maker. The agent list on that is currently outta date (which is why I did this website basically), but the system jumps are correct.
Zoon	Posted - 2005.08.18 19:32:00 - [4] Sorry for the late reply guys, have been busy with my girlfriend for a bit Originally by: Raven Dru Nice, probably out of date now though with the update, but a very handy tool indeed No, it has all of the traditional agents, but does not have the agents in space in the COSMOS constellations. I do have the agents in space names though. Originally by: Sveldt Is it possible to include the type of research the R&D agents do? No that's not in the database, sorry. Originally by: Warm0nger Can you add the region to the agent list? Oh, and maybe a corporation pulldown too. Done! Originally by: Balistic Void Awww this kinda sucks. Does it have the hidden agents on it? I was kinda hoping only I knew the sekrit :( I can't remember the agents name so I can't check doh!! Hmm well the page just horribly crashed so I suppose I wouldn't be able to check anyway.... Hidden agents? As in agents in space?
Zoon	Posted - 2005.08.18 19:45:00 - [5] Originally by: HippoKing great list only one thing - can you add a title to the region list, and add "The Forge" as a region - all my agents are there good work tho Oops
Zoon	Posted - 2005.08.18 21:35:00 - [6] New Feature I've added "Any Kill Mission Only" search under the Division drop down so you can select three kill mission divisions in one go. If someone can tell me which ones are 100% courier I'll add that option to the list also!
Zoon	Posted - 2005.08.30 18:16:00 - [7] Originally by: HippoKing Oh dear Dead link? Tried to ping the server but it doesn't seem to be alive...
Zoon	Posted - 2005.08.31 18:36:00 - [8] Edited by: Zoon on 31/08/2005 18:39:34 oops double post
Zoon	Posted - 2005.08.31 18:37:00 - [9] Edited by: Zoon on 31/08/2005 18:40:16 Originally by: Jelosavich He might be getting the same thing I'm getting, server error: "error connecting: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached." Thats a MySql error, they need to increase the max connections in mysql.ini ... will raise a support ticket and moan a bit Originally by: sonofollo site has been taken down me thinks or reached its monthly bandwidth limit shame really. Its currently using about 400mb out of a 10gb allowance The site is back up again now, its just the server which is a bit flaky, but I'll be moving it onto a more reliable server before too long
Zoon	Posted - 2005.09.02 21:37:00 - [10] I just noticed that its not working again ... fixed it tho ... the server went to crap since another company bought them out ... so I'm putting my own 1u server into a datacentre basically as soon as I get it built and nip to the datacentre to put it in

Zoon	Posted - 2005.09.03 19:39:00 - [11] Agents in Space are not included in my search tool - there are some agents in the spreadsheet from CCP I used which aren't tied to a station but off the top of my head they did not include a solar system either. Oh and a request - if anyone finds the tool is offline, please eve-mail me ingame and I'll fix it!
Zoon	Posted - 2005.09.04 10:42:00 - [12] Fixed ... new server is about ready to have the site transferred to it so should be working right before too long!
Zoon	Posted - 2005.09.05 17:57:00 - [13] Originally by: Coen DeTormentor There's a couple of bugs: 1. Sorting by "Required Standing" tries to use a field that doesnt exists "standing" - fieldname is "reqStanding" 2. Showing all agents from one faction - then Order By by Solar System or Solar System Security - shows too few records - you will see agents ranging from 0.0 to 0.1 - and then it stops. It displays more than 100 records, about 120. Great works so far - keep it up! :) Thanks for the input! 1. This was indeed a bug I've now corrected 2. This was a planned feature, I didn't want to include any pagination in it at the time of creation and I wanted to cap the total records for a couple of reasons a) keeps page loading time down (not worried about transfer, the new server its going on will have a 750gb allowance heh) b) stops someone viewing the hard work (and it really was hard work!) I put into compiling the DB in one page, stealing it, and making it their own website or spreadsheet I may include the option to choose 50, 100 or 150 records at some point however. I will be adding sorting ascending or descending for the sort order options. Cheers
Zoon	Posted - 2005.09.13 18:16:00 - [14] Originally by: Serious Masta the site dont work for me! if i press any link, a "Server Error in '/' Application." will be shown! whats wrong? pls fix it :) I dunno what I did to that but its all fixed now Enjoy
Zoon	Posted - 2005.09.16 18:54:00 - [15] Its just moved servers so should be working properly by the end of the weekend, sorry for the inconvenience all
Zoon	Posted - 2005.09.20 17:41:00 - [16] Sorry everyone, there is a bug in Mono which is preventing my website from working currently. I'm looking at putting in a temporary fix tonight now I know where and what the bug is, and the agent tool should be back up in an hour or two.
Zoon	Posted - 2005.09.26 19:05:00 - [17] Now back up and working, the bug in Mono was fixed http://ffs.zoon.me.uk
Zoon	Posted - 2005.09.28 18:05:00 - [18] Originally by: Miter The pull down list for Division lists 'R+D' which doesn't match against the 'R&D' stored in the DB. Now fixed, thanks for the heads up Miter
Zoon	Posted - 2005.11.09 18:51:00 - [19] Originally by: Charlie3 nevermind im an idiot! :D Hehe I take it you guessed that there are simply no agents for that combination of search criteria I haven't had much feedback on the agent tool lately but I am happy to report the users are going through the roof - I'm glad you all are enjoying it I still am going to release the NPC search tool, but I've had some delay since Eve-I is no longer with us, and I now have to work out how they got the data in the first place An extremely kind soul has pointed me in the right direction, I now just have to do a lot of learning to make use of that help I'll keep everyone up-to-date on progress as soon as I can...
Zoon	Posted - 2005.12.30 18:53:00 - [20] I'm glad you find it useful! You should know that the database does NOT reflect the agent moves recently annoounced via evemail. As soon as a data export is available I will update the agent tool :) I'm also (finally) going to be preparing the NPC tool with CURRENT bounty data, making it the only up-to-date NPC bounties list, that I know about anyway

Zoon	Posted - 2006.01.01 11:45:00 - [21] Top post updated as follows: Updated 01/01/2006 - New look website which is now ingame compatible, and the agent search tool is also now ingame compatible! Please be aware that due to limitations with the ingame browser, the Agents page loads slowly. I've done some initial optimisation, and I'll find other ways to speed up. The Tanking Quicksheet is finally live, but may not be accurate since the Red Moon Rising patch. It is also missing some factions - if you have any of the missing information, please reply to this post, and I'll add it in! My corporation is also going to be collectively publishing a biography of Level 4 missions, with hints and tips we've collated on how best to deal with them! This is limited to kill only at present, but submissions for courier missions from the community will be accepted via reply to this thread. The website containing these tools is available here: http://ffs.zoon.me.uk Agent Search Tool The agent search tool does NOT currently reflect the upcoming agent moves. As soon as CCP release the export data, I will update the database. Current Available Features - Search by Corporation, Faction, Region, Division, Level, Quality and order by any field you wish - View "All Kill Mission" agents or specific Divisions only - Popup window with agent info Planned Features - Ascending or descending option on the "Order By" field [DONE] - Constellation search - A "Who can I work for?" wizard where you can enter your standing for a given faction / corporation and view agents available to you Known issues - Popup window does not work ingame. I plan to replace this with the actual ingame information windows you see every day. This is a fairly quick change, but hey, its New Year's day! I'll fix it soon Version History 0.4 - Ingame browser compatibility. Optimisations to follow. 0.3 - Finally added Corporation and Region options to search, and added "All Kill Mission Only" to the Division selection! Fixed the popup page which shows you what station the agent is in. 0.21 - Fixed reversed Corp and Faction names in the new 1229 agents as they were the wrong way round ... oops! 0.2 - Added in 1229 further agents from t20's MapData.xls update, total now 9909 - apparently some of these don't exist in game though 0.1 - Standard 8680 agents from Oveur's original MapData.xls release Any feature suggestions welcome... NPC Search Tool The NPC Search Tool hasn't been forgotten about - I just haven't been able to extract the necessary data. With Red Moon Rising now out, the NPC data has changed once again! I am working on getting the necessary data and am waiting for it with baited breath. Please leave any feedback here and I'll answer you as soon as I can, or evemail me ingame, or come chat to me in ingame channel "-ffs- bar" which is the public channel for my fine corporation of expert mission runners. __________________________________ Are you a mission runner?

Zoon	Posted - 2006.01.04 18:49:00 - [22] The last time I knew, Command were part courier part kill and not "Kill Mission Only" which is what that one is for If I'm wrong please feel free to correct me and I'll update it __________________________________ Are you a mission runner?

Zoon	Posted - 2006.01.05 22:26:00 - [23] Good news! The most recent Devblog gives updated Export Data, and when the patch is done next week, it will again be updated for the agent moves due to take place, so I'll be able to update the Agent Tool also __________________________________ Are you a mission runner?

Zoon	Posted - 2006.01.29 17:39:00 - [24] Updated 29/01/2006 - Agent tool now has RMR data populated! Enjoy __________________________________ Are you a mission runner? Have you tried our Agent Tool and Mission Gudies? You should!
Zoon	Posted - 2006.01.30 18:43:00 - [25] Fixed, sorry about that guys! __________________________________ Are you a mission runner? Have you tried our Agent Tool and Mission Guides? You should!
Zoon	Posted - 2006.02.02 18:52:00 - [26] Yep, you can only search for agents in a region which has agents, due to the way it was set up __________________________________ Are you a mission runner? Have you tried our Agent Tool and Mission Guides? You should!
Zoon	Posted - 2006.02.10 19:11:00 - [27] Downtime notification The website will be unavailable on 11 February 2006, from around 6am through to 11am, and possibly all day long if things go wrong! My ISP is upgrading their core network to gigabit switched and it may mean the website is down for a bit. __________________________________ Are you a mission runner?

Zoon	Posted - 2006.02.28 21:38:00 - [28] Originally by: Khaotic 1. Can you put back the system security box on the table, like the old one had? The ability is still there to search via security high to low but no idea what the systems values are without the column. Sure, I'll sort it out. That's the easy one to do! Originally by: Khaotic 2. After I search, it resets the choices to default. Can you have it retain the settings from the previous search? Maybe put a reset button. Its a pain to have to reenter all the info if I am doing a search for Amarr L2 agents, follow by L3 next search etc. Yeah, unfortunately ASP.Net does this automatically, and PHP doesn't. Since ASP.Net on Linux through Mono isn't all that great (people who often found my site down will agree!) I've had to switch to PHP so I am still learning it I will return the ability to remember the fields in the next day or two Originally by: Khaotic 3. Kill missions definitely should be command, security, internal security and surveilance. I saw someone else had mentioned that in this thread. Okay I'll add that in, that's another fairly easy one. __________________________________ Are you a mission runner? Have you tried our Agent Tool and Mission Guides? You should!
Zoon	Posted - 2006.03.03 20:37:00 - [29] Okay, the agent tool now remembers your last option again. I think I'll also make it so the corporation list shows only the corporations in the faction for clarity sake. __________________________________ Are you a mission runner? Have you tried our Agent Tool and Mission Guides? You should!
Zoon	Posted - 2006.03.05 21:56:00 - [30] At the moment it doesn't display if they are location agents or similar, however the data is there to generate this, so it should be possible. I'll have a tinker and see what I can do! __________________________________ Are you a mission runner? Have you tried our Agent Tool and Mission Guides? You should!

Zoon	Posted - 2006.03.07 00:30:00 - [31] You're not the first people to comment on the orangey colour and wanting the blue back!! I'll sort it out ASAP __________________________________ Are you a mission runner? Have you tried our Agent Tool and Mission Guides? You should!
Zoon	Posted - 2006.03.07 00:31:00 - [32] Originally by: Pei Ling How about having faction based options in the coorporation list, so it would say "Any Gallente" and then under it list all the gallente corps etc? One for each major faction maybe? The "Faction" option is the one used to show only corps from a faction ... I'll make it so the corporation list only shows corps for the faction also, although that may take a bit more doing :) __________________________________ Are you a mission runner?

Zoon	Posted - 2006.03.07 19:38:00 - [33] Blue colours returned now __________________________________ Are you a mission runner? Have you tried our Agent Tool and Mission Guides? You should!
Zoon	Posted - 2006.03.23 00:20:00 - [34] Originally by: Cindy Miner Hi there, When i select R&D in the Division field and hit search I get the following error.... Debug Info: SELECT agentId, agentName, factionName, corporationName, DivisionName, level, quality, reqStanding, solarSystem, systemSecurity, factionId, corporationId FROM agentdb WHERE factionId = 5000010 AND level = 3 AND region = 'Lonetrek' ORDER BY agentName ASC LIMIT 100 If I select - Any then i get all the agents and have to scroll down finding the R&D ones. Also can you provide an option to display all finds or seperate all finds into 2 or more pages? Other than that thanks for providing a great resource and time saver. I know of the bug with the R&D type, it doesn't like the "&" character. I'll sort that It was originally capped to 100 finds (30 ingame) to make sure the page still loaded quickly. I'm not willing to show all pages, because someone could then just go through all the pages and copy my data export. The information is all in the Eve database release of course, but it took quite some time to generate my little subset of required data joining in all the fields I need and generating its own table to ensure it all loads efficiently. As a compromise on this point, I will look into providing two pages of 100 agents each. I'm not sure there is a single search that would really give useful information over 100 results anyway - the limit encourages being more specific which is a good thing (tm) __________________________________ Are you a mission runner?

Zoon	Posted - 2006.03.23 00:21:00 - [35] Originally by: Biancha page was moved, and tanking option is weak. might find it useful to link there to eve-tanking.com or evegeek.com for npc dmg %'s The tanking database will be linked to an NPC information database I am working on in the future __________________________________ Are you a mission runner? Have you tried our Agent Tool and Mission Guides? You should!
Zoon	Posted - 2006.03.23 23:32:00 - [36] I've just made it so that when you select a Faction, it will let you select only Corporations in that Faction Cindy, I'm working on that now, I hafta update the database to be able to do it but that is easy enough __________________________________ Are you a mission runner? Have you tried our Agent Tool and Mission Guides? You should!
Zoon	Posted - 2006.03.23 23:42:00 - [37] Actually, I didn't need to edit the database, and it really was just a bug. It is now fixed __________________________________ Are you a mission runner? Have you tried our Agent Tool and Mission Guides? You should!
Zoon	Posted - 2006.03.24 11:33:00 - [38] It would be possible to do that, quite easily in fact, but that means you have to select one at a time, and wait for the page to load inbetween. Bearing in mind this site is also ingame compatible, that would mean it becomes very slow and a chore to use. I could make it so when you select faction it does a post, since the corporation list depends upon it, but I think anything else would hammer it. I'll add a bit which actually says "No Agents Match Your Query" when it can't find any so it doesn't just look like an error. __________________________________ Are you a mission runner? Have you tried our Agent Tool and Mission Guides? You should!
Zoon	Posted - 2006.03.24 11:47:00 - [39] OK, the agent tool now tells you how many rows there are, and if its 0, it suggests you refine your search options __________________________________ Are you a mission runner? Have you tried our Agent Tool and Mission Guides? You should!
Zoon	Posted - 2006.05.02 13:20:00 - [40] I'm glad you find it useful I have more stuff in the pipeline, and I have other stuff I need to finish, the Ice Belt search I posted doesn't work yet heh! ----- Are you a mission runner? Try our Agent Tool and Mission Guides! True System Security
