Blue Wraith	Posted - 2007.02.26 19:18:00 - [61] Edited by: Blue Wraith on 26/02/2007 19:17:28 Originally by: Cherab wtf? Ive been relaxing off eve for two days safely thinking im training eidetic memory lvl 4 wich i only had 2 days and 4 hours left on according to blue wraith. Unfortunately when i log in i didnt have eidetic memory training i had something else that was done about 2 hours after last time i logged i just lost 2 days of training and thats alot on my noob char. Thanks blue wraith. Really sorry to hear that Cherab. I certainly didn't intend for my widget to negatively affect your training. One thing you should note about the program is that currently, it does not store your password to the hard drive (yet). That means that I cannot periodically check to see what skill is training or if you have changed skills, because if you restart, the password is lost to the program. For convenience, I save the last skill you had training, and reload that information when dashboard restarts. I am planning to add KeyChain integration to ESM so it will store the password securely and periodically check to see what skill is training, but I'm not there yet. In the mean-time if you want to double-check that the data is current, flip the widget over, make sure the password is in there, and click Done. Anytime you click Done, a check will happen if the username and password are filled in. Also note that CCP caches the XML feed, so if you change a skill, the XML feed will not show it for a while, and therefore, no programs relying on the XML feed will be able to show that change for a while (an hour at most?).
Blue Wraith	Posted - 2007.02.26 19:20:00 - [62] Originally by: Ch1xOr Thank you this is great. And i second a skill planner for MacOs. Quickfit works. I am surprised no one had filled that niche yet. You're very welcome. I would love to do a skill planner, actually, but time just does not permit. :(
Blue Wraith	Posted - 2007.02.26 19:25:00 - [63] Edited by: Blue Wraith on 26/02/2007 19:24:46 Originally by: Da'kin I've emailed you a patch which fixes the problem I had where chkTraining would be called with a html page rather than xml. The problem was that it was supposed to be a javascript redirect with a different sid which was never picked up. Anyway. Great widget, now we just need the skill planner =) Thanks Da'kin. There's a detail I need to iron out before I put this patch in, but I'll be putting it in and getting this out soon. I'll be much happier when we get everybody's loading problems solved so I can concentrate fire on more features.
Blue Wraith	Posted - 2007.02.26 20:07:00 - [64] Ok, incorprated Da'kin's fix. Also to some of you who are having it show your old character's training info, do the following to reset cached information. Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app In Terminal: rm Library/Preferences/widget-com*.Eve\ Skill\ Monitor.plist Also, if you flip it to the back side, make sure your username and password are entered, and hit Done, it should update your info as well.
Blue Wraith	Posted - 2007.02.27 20:48:00 - [65] Edited by: Blue Wraith on 27/02/2007 20:46:22 I made an update today. You will have to go to the website to download this one, see Fixes below for explanation. Colors You can now change the color of the widget. A couple of the really light colors still need some work (like White) to make the text more legible. It was going to be a bit more intrusive to change, so I just put copious dropshadow on the skill text for now. Fixes I also fixed a couple of bugs. For one thing, I forgot to enable the update dialog in one of the last releases (it gets in my way when I'm working on the UI, so I usually disable it, but forgot to re-enable it), so ESM doesn't ask you to update even if there's a new one available (you can tell by the red light on the back, however). Secondly, there was a bug that it was not saving the preferences of the first widget ever started. After the first one, it saved them.

It was going to be a bit more intrusive to change, so I just put copious dropshadow on the skill text for now. Cool! Is it possible to replace with a colorwell so we can fine-adjust the colors? I have not been able to figure out a way to dynamically adjust the Apple-specific color properties. I figured out which properties made the color change, and tried using JavaScript to rewrite the properties, to no effect. If it's even possible to change the color of Apple objects at run-time, it would have to be done wth Apple-specific calls that (as far as I can tell) are undocumented. I asked the Dashboard development list about this, but no response, and no positive hits on Google yet. If anyone happens to know how to dynamically change colors, let me know. What I had to do was just create different masks of different color, reveal the ones that you pick, and hide the ones that are not used. -- Blue Wraith My Imaginings of CCP's Skill Training Queue
Blue Wraith	Posted - 2007.03.02 06:34:00 - [68] I regret to inform you guys that I will be quitting Eve for a while, possibly indefinitely. All the Dev and GM corruption, and especially the post deletions and moderations (cover-up) of it in the eve-online forums has left me with an extremely bad taste in my mouth for CCP and serious doubts of the integrity of the game. Since mention of details will probably get my post deleted (if it even survives saying this much), you will have to look it up for yourself. I feel sorry for Kugutsumen. Regarding ESM development, I am going to upload the Dashcode project to my website (linked in the first post of this thread and in my sig) probably tomorrow. Anyone that wants to use what I have to continue development of it has my permission and blessing. I wish you all well. -- Blue Wraith My Imaginings of CCP's Skill Training Queue
Da'kin	Posted - 2007.03.04 20:06:00 - [69] Originally by: Blue Wraith Edited by: Blue Wraith on 02/03/2007 19:44:55 I regret to inform you guys that I will be quitting Eve for a while, possibly indefinitely. I have trust and hurt issues with Eve right now, and I've lost interest in playing. Regarding ESM development, I am going to upload the Dashcode project to my website (linked in the first post of this thread and in my sig) probably tomorrow. Anyone that wants to use what I have to continue development of it has my permission and blessing. I wish you all well. I'm sad to hear that you will quit the game and discontinue the development of the only skill monitor for Mac I know of. I'd be willing to make sure that it keeps working (because I need it!) but about where it should go, I'd rather do that into a community effort. What do you guys think?
Stainless Rat Gallente Privateers Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.07 04:58:00 - [70] Sorry to see you go, Blue. Don't do anything rash like delete your character and give away your stuff. Just set a long skill training and take a month off, see what happens. As for the code, I'll give it a home. I'll dump it into a publicly visible Subversion server soon. --- "Only a stainless steel rat can be at home in this environment." Level 4 Mission Dominix Guide
Ray McCormack BIG	Posted - 2007.03.07 19:43:00 - [71] Sorry to see you go Blue. I do hope through their actions CCP can heal those trust and hurt issues you have. And I'd love anyone that could continue this project and help me get it working on my eMac. I just got a loading message when it's on the Dashboard. \| How To Afford A Tech II BPO \| the all mighty BIG industrial corp from hell with a slong the size of a walrus.

Please give me all youre stuff, hmm is this the reason why my widget has stop showing my skill training time left?
Blue Wraith	Posted - 2007.07.18 21:06:00 - [74] I just wanted to let you that may have this thread bookmarked know that I have come back to Eve, and I have updated ESM to use the Eve API Keys. It also periodically rechecks skills automatically. For future updates, there will be no need to re-enter your API user id and key either, as it will remember that information. So, it's much better! I started a new forum thread for it, which can be found here. The website has not changed, and can be gotten to with the same link or by clicking my sig.
