Hi. This is a pretty awesome lightweight replacement to evehq since I don't meet sysreqs for it anymore.
In evehq (and eft) there is a stat for how much incoming dps a fit can tank from a damage profile. Am I missing where it is in pyfa, or if I'm not, could you add it?

Why not make it a web-based solution?

This looks interesting.

One thing I'd like to be able to do is modify existing hulls or modules for theorycrafting purposes, switch out bonuses, play with agility modifiers and mass values and slots, change optimal and falloff values, etc. Especially when there's large amounts of changes in the pipeline for Eve it would be useful to switch attributes around for, say, t3 battlecruisers, or blasters, or T2 ammo, and get an immediate idea of what the end result might be. I heard this was theoretically possible in EFT but involved digging in the raw data files and messing with the walls of code contained within (I know very little about such things so was pretty much stumped).

Is something along these lines possible in your program or could it be included?


Its rather easy:

Download sqlitebrowser
Open eve.db; which is in pyfa/staticdata with it and start changing around stuff
The most likely targets for changes are invtypeattrs (attribute values per item) and invtypeeffects (bonusses/effects per item)

EDIT: you probably want to back up the original eve.db beforehand

Ok so I fugured out that the tables were changed to "dgmtypes", "dgmtypeseffects" and "dgmtypesattrs" since then.

I also figured out how to change attributes: number of slots, CPU/PG, Armor/Shield etc.

But the problem is with effects. I can't change bonuses.

For example: Drake has 4 effects which are:
1171 - Mass
1387 - Reduction in fitting of Warfare links
2840 - Shield Ressistance Bonus(wierd as Ferox has 4 separate bonuses for every dmg type...)
2845 - Kinetic Damage Bonus.

So if I want to emulate the upcoming 5% ROF instead of Kinetic dmg and 10% Missile Velocity I can't figure out how.

Problems are:

1) there's only one BC ROF effect #2682 from NightHawk that applies(need to set "description" column to "automatically generated" to work) but it actually decreases the DPS on Drake after changes.
2) There are a lot of Bonuses respective to different types of launcher and/or ships. But neither can be applied to the Drake(simply no effect). Changing the last symbols(CC=Caldari Cruiser, right?) into CBC(calari battlecruiser) or BC doesn't work either.
3) I can't add strings to the tables with SQLitebrowser. The "default data for new records" is restricted to "NULL".

Typical "dmgeffect" string consists of:

effectID|effectName|description|isOffensive|isAssistance|published

I get that the "effectID is used to track effects to respective ships. "effectName" seems to define the actual effect of the bonus(or does it only describes it?). "description" - sometimes is just a description, sometimes needed to set to "automatically generated" to make the effect work. What the last 3 columns are used for? Can I ignore them?

Can you tell me the syntax with which should be the "effectName" slot be filled to work?

Window>Damage Pattern Editor to create damage profiles, and right click anywhere in the "resistances" area (except for the top part of it for some reason) to set the damage profile,

That's not what I'm trying to do. I have damage profiles done, but for me, EHP isn't as important as what dps I can tank given profile x.

Wonderful piece of software! Thanks for all your time.

I'm finding it impossible to apply projected affects such as remote armor repairers from one ship to another. I'm guessing that it's supposed to be a similar drag drop.

When drag dropping a remote armor repair onto the projected effect tab of the same ship nothing happens. I can't drag it onto the fitting of another ship in the ships tab either.

Is this a known bug?

(Windows 7)

You can right click and "add to projected effects" (This is a bit unintuitive as everything else works with drag 'n drop, I know :<)

Maybe I'm just unable to find it...but is it possible to have two fittings open side by side so I can compare them better?

Alternatively: opening multiple instances of the app (by copying the app on a Mac I guess). But would this lead to data consistency issues maybe? After all the Pyfa uses one 'database' for stored fittings in the background (I guess). @Pyfa-Devs: is this a recommended way to use the app?

Hi.
Nice prog but takes some getting use to.....I see the fleet tab at the bottom but cant seem to get it working. On eft i use a boosting T3 as fleet commander,can i do the same on pyfa and how?

Questions on projected effects:

How could I project modules from specific ships - eg Neuts from a Bhaalgorn or logistics drones from a scimitar?
How can I project scripted modules onto a ship?

How can I contribute patches to this project?

This may have been asked before, but is there a configurable location for fits with PYFA? If so how can I adjust it?

Pyfa saves fits (and all of the rest of its data) under the user directory in .pyfa so if you're in Windows 7 it's

\Users\username\.pyfa\

Is that stored anywhere? (like the registry, I didn't see anything in there) mi was hoping to be able to change its location to one of my choosing.

Blue pills aren't affecting ancillary shield boosters in Pyfa.
It used to be the same on TQ, but this bug was fixed.

It also appears that only one "Siege Warfare Link - Shield Harmonizing II" I fit on a Vulture is having effect, rather than three. (Or is this the case with warfare links, the same type just doesn't stack?)

Is Pyfa dead? :(

No update for ages and main site is down
Hope it's all temporary and it comes back with updates, fixes to blue pill issue and projected module effects issues
