EVE Technology Lab

Hey all,


As many within the Community already know, over the last 3 years we have assembled a team throughout several Alliance's, Corporation's and Member's to create the largest Fan Based Player Owned Website System in regards to total Tools/System Counts for the EVE Online Community. The MegaSite, ("Project Code Name") currently has 87+ complete tools in Beta Testing.

We hope to drive new players and help keep old players to EVE Online by improving the experience and enhancing game play by offering new ways to learn the game mechanics and offering amazing tools while using stunning and amazing graphics .

Earlier this year (January I believe) we asked for Beta Testers on the EVE Forums, Alliance Forums and In-Game for the current tools that were available. Which thankfully we gathered around 400 EVE Online Players to assist in the testing and bugs still exist and are being corrected. With new changes we are now falling behind the set timeline to publish the Site.

With having built our Own Data Library, Data Processing System and other systems as the engine of the project and now with some of the changes that are being made to the API/CREST we could use a helping hand from additional Developers adjusting the systems. This would be on a volunteer basis and at your own pace. As compensation and If you allow your In-Game name would be added to the Developer's Wall with the 31 other Members.

The System itself uses the following : PHP, MySQL, Perl, Ruby, HTML, Actionscript among others. As to the Designers, we use Photoshop, Maya, 3D Studio Max, AutoDesk CAD, Vue Studio X, among others. Its is Cross-Platform built and is currently primarily build for the Web and the Mobile App Ready for the Android and Apple Market.

Each Tool is its own System, or Plug-In for the main engine if you will. So its easy to focus in on any issues. However, these tools are not open source at this time and it will depend on somethings that CCP will do if some tools or features will be made open source. The primary engine will either way not be open source. We have a Digital Standard Non Disclosure Agreement related to the involvement.

Some tools do not require editing and will not be effected by the new changes. They are unrelated to the In-Game Data Directly. If the engine can be launched regardless of the changes then those tools may launch on time as planned. Additional Tools are being drafted for the New Changes that are being made.

If anyone would like to help with this amazing project we are now opening our doors for new Developers to become apart of the team for the MegaSite. We are grateful for everyone on our Team.


Please contact me In-Game, Here on the Forums, On our Website Forums, PM or how ever you want if you are interested.

Yes, it could be considered similar. As an example I have listed 2 of the tools, very briefly.

Tool #53 : Alliance & Corporation Management

We believe that the most organized, well Run Alliance/Corporation is the most deadliest and effective . In turn we created The Alliance/Corporation Management Tool., With and Without API it offers you a wide range of features. Some of them are listed below:

* Online Time Viewer: ( Allows each member to set an expected online time, which is then consolidated and presented to the Command ( or set Members, by group, ship type ect ) so you can plan for certain events effectively, ect. )

* Custom Application, Approval and Review Settings for Members


Tool #48 : Ship Pre- Fittings

This Tool is one of my favs!! Based on your skills you can select a ship type, and lets say, you want the most DPS you can get out of it. It will pre-Fit it based on all modules within the game. Below a few of this tools features:

* Pre-Fits your Ship type based on Skills
* Can split your settings ( 80% DPS and 20% Tank)
* Gives you the best possible fit even not using your skills.
* Recommendations for certain types of Tasks based on your Skills.
* Set by ISK amount. Will make your total fit a certain amount in total value based on your Skills.
* Will inform if there are available slots to modify
* If your settings request can not be made it will make suggestions for you to approve.
* Save all of your settings.


Can I use it to find which ship has a certain volume of general cargo bay, ore cargo bay, fleet cargo bay, mineral cargo bay with cargohold expanders and without them? With certain rigs and without them?

Yes, via Ship Pre- Fittings or Tool#48. You can ask it, which ship has the most Armor, most cargo bay, warp speed ect.



Hope that gave you an idea, there is about 87 or so in all. Our goal is to complete, within reason every requested tool if it can be made effective for the player.

Just as a tip, the search function on this forum makes it very easy to search for all dev posts. it's just a tick box. (you can pull the results with rss, but they're not attributed. which annoyed me when I found that out)


Oh, and in case you don't know, if you click the blue bar on a devs picture, it'll take you to the next dev post in that thread (if there is one)

I was searching a way to build my CMS using .Net with API existing over here, this looks like a better project and answer for what I need.

About my initial project, I was ready to give time for this, I could give time for this one without problems.

I'm a .Net developer, can manipulate databases, I'm not focused on PHP but it's all just about synthax and I'm glad start using it.

Tell me your thoughts; Np for the NDA.

Hello,

Received nothing currently.

In addtion, I'm willing to add french localization to the project.
