im looking for a simple tool that i can put my api into and it tell me the % return on differnt moduals i invent.
just looking for a way of monitoring them over time. i coudl right them down but im doing invent batches of 100's of bpc's a time so looking for an easy way of getting that %
thanks

This is something that I would also use. What form would you prefer to see it in? I could probably knock together a custom CLI tool in an evening using the Java libraries I know and contribute to.
Integrating it into an existing application (e.g. evemon, evehq) would take a lot more effort on my part, and therefore probably will not happen.
Making it into a web application is not going to happen because I'm not interested in running the services myself. |

little stand alone program, taht sits there and just pulls results from the api. not sure how easy that would be,i have no idea on coding programming or anything related to them..lol bit of a nub when it comes to pc also.
all its basicly gotta go is list mod type, number of invents and the % of good returns/bad returns |

This is a good idea and I want to add it to my program, bit not sure when I could do it. It is a little more complicated than just doing a simple API pull but I'll look into it and let you know. Have a few other issues I want to do first on EVE iph first. |

All of these are 'solved' problems though, so it's time to re-use existing code to do these things. |

Yeah those are easy, there are other issues to consider though like pos or station invention, since the data is stored in Corp API (afaik) for invention at a pos. With the new API, this info is a bit harder to work with.
For the op, you say 100s of runs, do you use multiple accounts or just one and three toons? Do you do it at a pos or station? Lastly, I assume you would want to limit results by a date range? |

i use 1 toon, at a pos. the date range would be awesom tbh i just thought about getting teh % over all time. but seeing what % i got 1 month compared to the next woudl be great. spot trends pre and post patch, if your getting the most out of meta 4 items etc etc.

Just in regards to this, you can actually figure out mathematically whether it is worth it to use meta items or not. Not sure whether you're doing this already or not (I assume most T2 manufacturer's have their own spreadsheet), but simply add the cost of the meta item to your invention attempt, and adjust the success rate accordingly. Basically if the new BPC cost is cheaper than the old one, it's worth it to use that particular meta item (statistically speaking in the long run anyway).

Well finally, after hacking around a bit, I have something that works. I need to make it into a releasable package, then upload it somewhere. |

I keep track of things like that, but I built my own spreadsheet and put it in. What would be useful and something I can't do would be being able to check the results between 2 specific dates. So being able to compare two different months or something. A database of sorts of results. |

awesom. cant wait to try the tool out.
spotting and monitoring trends is something that with massivnetion is a pain to do. as much as i love spredsheets a tool that did the whole job for me would be great. |

First attempt at releasing this so please be nice :)
Note that it is far from finished, and there are a few rough edges.
To run, you need at least Java 1.6 installed, I have not tried it with Java 1.7 yet.
Release: http://candle.me.uk/eve-invention-monitor-0.8.0-full.jar
Sources: http://git.candle.me.uk/gitweb.cgi?p=eve-invention-monitor.git;a=summary
Known issues:
- When you first run it, the plot appears rotated by 180 degrees, let it update, then restart.
- There is no read-out of the current value of the success ratio.
- There is no "only show the last month/last week/last 3 months".
- The plot needs changing so that it is a step plot rather then a simple line plot.
- The 'add' button, when adding an API, freezes the UI when it is updating.
- There is no log of what it is doing in the background, it should be updating from the API whenever it can.
If you get any error boxes, please e-mail (address is on any error message box) me and answer the following questions:
What were you doing at the time of the issue?
What did you see?
What did you expect to see?
Feature ideas and suggestions, post here (for now).
Please attach the any relevant logs, I would expect that just the industry.log would be enough, I may ask for the configuration.xml and jobs.xml, so that I can reproduce the issue here and fix it.
Comments and feedback please. |

edit IE9 btw, maybe i shoudl try another browser? Web Start is really the wrong thing to use. if all else fails, use the command prompt, change directory to the place you have the jar, and on the prompt, type:
java -jar eve-invention-monitor-0.8.0-full.jar
You should not have to unpack the jar file at all.

While that does calculate the expected value, it cannot track what you have actually invented.
Sara kingston wrote:Wondering if u could make it possible to add more chars? I have 2 invention chars on 1 account and 1 invention char on another account This should be possible. Especially so with version 0.9.0, just add either single keys for each character or add a key that is able to access all the characters on the account. This is improved in 0.9.0. |

Release: http://candle.me.uk/eve-invention-monitor-0.9.0-full.jar
Sources: http://git.candle.me.uk/gitweb.cgi?p=eve-invention-monitor.git;a=summary
Major Changes:
- Added a view so that you can see actual success rate for all the known invention jobs.
- Changed the way the plot is drawn, it is now a step plot.
- For Account keys, it should look at all characters on the account.
- The configuration shows the keys as the character/corporation name rather then the key value.
Known issues:
- There is no conversion from typeIDs to item type names.
- There is no "only show the last month/last week/last 3 months".
- The 'add' button, when adding an API, freezes the UI when it is updating.
- There is no log of what it is doing in the background, it should be updating from the API whenever it can.

This is a small rant ! No wonder I can't do any invention since I can't do any copying or ME research on the BPO's I have due to people using "100's of inventions at once".... |

I would hope that people who are doing lots of invention jobs are using a POS and labs rather then the public station slots; particularly because the POS mods are better then the station slots.

The new version of EVEHQ (v2) has an invention % success tracking tool in it.
Check two date ranges and it will tell you your percentage success rate for each BPC you have invented on.

must say this is awesom.
hit a small issue, is the new api format only pulling invents from the date it was started.
i ask as i know ive in teh last 3 months invented 15 types of mods but its only pulling 5 from the last few weeks and the new ones ive done today. might just be a wait to update thing as its trying to pull 1000's of results from that time.
very cool regardless, will use this daily now, tyvm. |

Yes, I had seen this and although I don't really like eveHQ as I think it is kinda bloated, it does exactly what we wanted from this project, but without the pretty plot of observed results vs time. |
