Hey Darwin, you know the dna for Mordus Ships? Can't see them anywhere usingTriExporter :(

Yep, for example the frigate is

cf9_t1:mordus:caldari

At some point we will likely split out Mordu's Legion as their own race but it hasn't happened yet.

EVE Probe works just fine, despite being laggy as hell *cough*, it's just opening exefile through the script that fails

The top two issues seem to be:

1) Misreading the directory where you start the program. You MUST set your current working directory to

C:\ProgramData\CCP\EVE\SharedCache\probe

and run with this command:

bin\exefile.exe /lib=code.ccp

Note that C:\ProgramData is hidden by default. Also, many people have been attempting to run it from inside the bin directory. This will not work.

Nope no good :( The directory is \probe and the script is directly C/Pd still getting the error that it's not a valid Win32 application

I've verified that the executable is a 32-bit application, so it's not a case of a 64-bit exe file failing on your 32-bit system.

CCP Snorlax says that if the file is corrupted, you can re-run the launcher and it should be corrected.

Yeah my exefile seemed to get corrupted somehow and ended up as a 0kb file that returned the not valid win32 error. Running the probe launcher again fixed it.

Still can't figure out how to control which turrets to be fitted, if that's even possible atm. Can do "fit_random_launchers", but that will only add capital launchers regardless of ship size.

Can siege modes be activated?

It's possible the binary is corrupted. I recommend deleting the SharedCache folder and then running the launcher from the shortcut in Program Files (x86) again. Be sure to allow EVE Probe to run through all the default scenes. This will re-download the contents of that folder and may resolve an issue with a corrupted file.

Deleting the shared cache folder is overkill - running from the launcher again should be enough.

[22:46] max12345 but there is only 1 entry for the number
[22:46] max12345 so it'd be the same for the example case

:)))))


The keys represent the order of location keys, starting with 0 for the first key.

If there were five keys, they would be 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 (in order).

Each key actually maps to a dictionary that represents a Bezier (or possibly Hermite) curve. It has the following keys:
"start_time": The time from the beginning of the scene to the start of the animation curve.
"end_time": The time from the beginning of the scene to the end of the animation curve.
"start_value": The x,y,z location of the model at the start of the animation
"end_value": The x,y,z location of the model at the end of the animation
"control_1": First control point.
"control_2": First control point.

first and last should be the first and last of those dictionaries.

I've tried "/capturefolder=c:\movie\" but it looks like this command was ignored by Probe.


I'm having some trouble getting this to work myself.

NameError: name 'xrange' is not defined


Someone in the #eve-dev IRC channel has the same trouble and tries to fix it.


Part of the problem is that xrange() is a Python 2.x built-in and I don't think is defined in 3.x. However, xrange() in 2.x has the same functionality as range() in 3.x. I'm not sure what the story is here.

Also:

I notice that if you use demo.yaml as your scene name, and you by mistake name your yaml file something else (like in my case demo.yaml.txt), it appears to find a demo.yaml that's in the shared cache. You apparently MUST use the extension ".yaml" and not ".yml" or anything else, and then it'll find the file correctly. The shared cache demo.yaml shows the Caldari battleships with default Caldari faction and the example from the docs uses the Guristas faction markings.


Correct. The project was written in Python 2.7. If someone were to upgrade it to be 3.x compatible and send a pull request on GitHub, that would make me happy.

And yes, all yaml files must have the .yaml extension.

Is it possible to have the camera follow an animation path? (specifically when using _handle_bind_matching_dynamics) or does it need to follow a seperate file?

Also, how do i make sure the animation is scaled correctly?

Also, having a ship blow up, how is this hanndled?

The camera should be able to follow an animation path. Create a named camera, select that camera and make sure one of the animations refers to that same name.

Something like:

- [camera, main_camera, 1.57, 3.0, 100000.0]
- [select_camera, main_camera]
- [bind_matching_dynamics, 'animations.red']


There is an explosion_for_actor command:

- [explosion_for_actor, explosion, 'res:/fisfx/deathexplosion/death_h_amarr.red', actor_name, 0.1]

I'm having an issues with getting a vindicator to load. I'm using 'gb2_t1:gallentebase:serpentis' I have it narrowed down to something with serpentis that is causing the issue. Can someone confirm if I'm doing something wrong or there is a different code for this ship.

Yes, the problem is that the third part of the ship DNA only controls the booster color, and there is no valid "serpentis" choice. Based on visual inspection, I think the correct ship DNA is:

gb2_t1:serpentis:gallente

Note that "serpentis" is not a full-blown race, it's considered a Gallente faction.

I don't know. Which versions of Python and PIP are you using ? I'm using Python 2.7.9 and PIP version 1.5.6 and it just works. As far as I know parse_reqirements should always return a list.

Python is 2.7.9 and PIP should be what came with it. Trying to re-install pip only results in a wall of red errors. Gonna try to clean out my current python installation since it may somehow be a complete mess.

EDIT: Yup, it's messed. This is when trying to uninstall python: http://i.imgur.com/bliXrAg.png

The easiest way to load ship properly (if you unsure in DNA) is to look at graphics.static contents.
"sofRaceName" is the booster color and "sofFactionName" is the base color.

Two questions, when using _handle_empty_scene to render a scene without a nebula is it possible to change the black BG color to something else? (like green) I noticed the _handle_trinity_setting option but have no idea what kind of options we can change P

Also the capture option does not seem to work for me, this is the command line im running:
C:\ProgramData\CCP\EVE\SharedCache\probe>bin\exefile.exe /lib=code.ccp /windowed /width=512 /height=512 /scenes=test.yaml /capturefolder=D:\Movies

I've tried various folders, existing and none existent ones, different drives, trailing slash, no trailing slash, etc. Nothing jumps out in the error log. Any idea what im doing wrong?

The Coreli Corporation is recruiting.
