EFT version 2.1

Version 2.1.0 changes:
Bug fixes:
- Icons should now display correctly on high color desktop modes (Those who got corrupted icons using true color modes should try to enable "Force high-color icons" option in Preferences)

---

Originally by: Gripen

Originally by: Tonto Auri

But that archive contains only truecolor icons.
When I start EFT, I got "Cannot open file "***\EFT\Icons\AMMO_ELECTRONBOMB.ico".

---

It's how it should be. Highcolor icons will be generated on EFT startup. Errors you describe must be coming from wrong installation. Looks like you copied new data files but kept old exe file. Extract archive contents in some new directory and copy there your old config.ini, Characters and Setups folders.

I really don't see why one should integrate this with EVEMon.
You can already import all your character data just by going to View->Character editor, Creating new character and copy-pasting the user ID and API key there, just as the description box indicates.

EFT is far better than Quickfit (only thing I'm really missing is cap simulation) and now that latest version has double-click to add item (much nicer than drag and drop) and all level V skills character inbuilt so one does not have to edit that one.

---

Originally by: Deschenus Maximus

Create many characters (All lvl V 1, All lvl V 2, etc.). Go to the "Characters" folder, open the chars' files with Word, and copy/paste the skills from the original All lvl V char (or use the file the kind dude provided me in this thread).

whenever i try to import my character with 2.5.1 it sets all of my skills to 0.

and 2.5 set my skills to 0 as well, yet 3 days ago it worked just fine.

when i went back to 2.4 just for S&G it gave me parsing errors

i redownloaded 2.5.1 and it still does the same thing.... set all my skills to 0





i don't think i am doing anything wrong...

Chribba, just curious, do You use any virus-checking on the files uploaded to Your host?
I know that at least Dr.Web is able to scan for viruses in (even) nested archives.

---

Yes there is AV running, however there is a slight problem running it the way I want since I cannot have an AV running checking every file when it is accessed since there is a lot of requests every sec.

So what happends is that an uploaded file is saved onto a specific folder which is being monitored and then after a short time moved to its destination. There is a chance that an infected file can be moved out from that monitored folder before the AV has checked it and thus getting past the scan.

In regards of bug when EFT going to inactive state upon task switching or minimizing: I was unable to reproduce this but in attempt to fix the problem 2.5.1 version can be lauched with /OldHints switch.

I have tried to read all the post before me and I have seen people with the same problem however it seems the new EFT fixed it.

I can not update my characters. All it shows are 0s for all my skills. Been doing it for a couple weeks now. I have downloaded and am using 2.5.2 I simply just gave up and decided not to bother with it anymore. However I am missing EFT now.

Figured I would give it one last try and see if anyone knows how I can fix it. Thanks

Originally by: Tonto Auri

Your screenshot meaningless as You have no characters selected.
EFT is not a ship browser, it takes in count skills required to fly ship.
Select actual char in EFT, hop into Your Malediction in game.
Then compare.

---

EFT comes with two default characters: [Without skills] and [All level V]. Looking at a ship’s stats in EFT with [Without skills] selected, you should see numbers that exactly match the numbers you see in-game when you ‘show info’ on an un-assembled ship. This is true for all the interceptors in EFT, except the Malediction, which has incorrect armor resist figures.

1) You can select (checkboxes under resists?), which resist will count into defense. It'll be more useful for making tanks against excat enemies.

2) Can you add something to modul to "activate" it's overload attribute? I think not only me will find it useful ...

Thx anyway for this "EvE Offline"

Originally by: NightmareX

Gripen, can you fix the stats on the Megathron Federate Issue on your next update please?.

It's drone bay should be 175 m3 and not 250 m3. And the CPU is also wrong atm for the ship. On EFT it says i have 812.5 CPU on the ship, but on sisi where i have the ship, i only have 750 CPU.

EDIT: I also think the Shield, Armor and Structure hp's are wrong to.

So just fix the stats

---

Originally by: NightmareX

---

I have checked the standard stats on the Megathron Federate Issue on sisi without the skills and implants on it there, and the stats on EFT is totally wrong.

EFT says: 7500 shield hp.
Sisi says: 11179 shield hp.

EFT says: 10548 armor hp.
Sisi says: 11953 armor hp.

EFT says: 12500 structure hp.
Sisi says: 13500 structure hp.

EFT says: 7030 capacitor.
Sisi says: 6187 capacitor.

EFT says: 650 CPU.
Sisi says: 600 CPU.

EFT says: 21000 powergrid.
Sisi says: 18600 powergrid.

EFT says: 250 m3 dronebay.
Sisi says: 175 m3 dronebay.

So EFT is wrong in most of the stats.

This was with 'Without Skills' on EFT. And the stats from sisi was from a Megathron Federate Issue that wasn't mine, the ship was moved into a trade window so i could just Show Info on the ship.

I think Gripen is having to redesign the interface slightly before he can release the QR version. Since he would have to add the information about the certificates, so it checks if you have the recommended certificates for that ship.

If you didn't notice, the QR patch actually changed some mechanics like how missile damage is applied.

yes but it shows you how much used/total

or start at max cpu + powergride and subtrack module needs

---

Originally by: Solhaya

I thought I'd throw in that it looks like the mining crystals aren't accounting for skills quite right. The Veldspar Mining Crystal I only has Mining I listed, which is the secondary skill requirement. There's a gap above it in the requirements which I would think is where Veldspar Processing Level III was supposed to be.

Intentional, or a mistake in transition? I have no idea. It's been like that since EFT 2.8 at least.

And thanks, Gripen, for writing EVE Fitting Tool. Not just that, but doing a very good job with it.

@Irn Bruce: After every patch, sooner or later, is released a new database by CCP. The format changes are fully in hands of CCP. Gripen is, so I believe, exporting this CCP original into some database engine EFT use and modifies EFT to be compatible with database format changes under EFT hood. Thus database editor is probably not possible as it is one-way process and only by Gripen.

you can do this by drag&dropping the respective modules onto the projected effects of a second ship. you can than read the new defense values and the new cap regen in the ships stats you used to drop the modules on.
