I think this is a such a good way of making a map it should be built into the game tbh

Hire the man CCP !!!

I might work on this source some, but it's a bit useless without the backend.

My question to the author - sorry if this has been answered before.

How do you get all the outpost/station systems from the game?

Unless there is something i am unaware of, you would need to be able to get all systems with stations, and also the sovereignity for all.

Now, you are obviously not doing this by hand. And i am not aware of a way to export the data.

So i would like to ask, which way you used to hack the client?

D3D hook? Python injector? or did you manage to decode ccp's version of zlib that they use in their packets and use a network sniffer?
Or is it much simpler and the data is cached in one of eve's cache folders?

I'd really like an answer to that.

If you are sniffing traffic or processing cache files, it would be a mild breach of eula.

If you are hooking the client or injecting python code into it, then that would be a lot heavier breach. And somehow, I think it's the latter >.<

It's a great idea, I don't want to bash it, and I also understand if you don't want to share the way you are doing it, since it might get you banned :P

I guess what I want to say is, that for people who are even slightly into programming, the source of your backend is far more interesting than the source of your frontend.
Imo you should really be getting credit for your data mining program, not for the flashy frontend stuff.

Ofc one question remains, why hasn't CCP themselves put something like this together?

now FLA has majority Sov in Cloud Ring, its screwed up the labels a bit; Freelancer Alliance is now plastered in the middle of Pure Blind, and the Dusk And Dawn label is mostly in FLA's Dek space.

His code sizes each alliances territory by finding the northern, southern, eastern, and western most edges. It then centers the alliance name between them and bases the size of the alliance font on how large that area is.

I told that I won't open the way how I get the sov data. Some later I'll do a sovereignty datafeed for 3rd party devs.
Btw, all your suggested ways to get the sov data is forbidden by Eula.

Oh, I am aware of that. There are only two ways to get the sov data.
1. Breach the EULA.
2. Be a dev or have contacts within CCP.

somone raised this issue in another thread, on the stations in cloud ring. FLA held 2 of these, youwhat the third, but the region appeared to be overwhelmingly to be FLA dominated. I'm not sure what should be done to fix it or how, but one thought might be to make competing claims in various systems nullify eachother. For instance, if in a particular system there are 2 competing sovereigns, the one with say, 5 sovereignty points, and the other with three, instead of just showing the stronger sovereign at full strength, deduct the 3 points from the 5 to display a strength of 2.
