Osmium 0.13.5 — browser-based fitter — Vanguard

Author
Indalecia
#1 - 2012-07-15 12:13:11 UTC  |  Edited by: Indalecia
Greetings to the EVE community,

I would like to present my project, a browser-based fitter named Osmium. Just like Pyfa, or EFT, you can create fits and everything, except it's done in a browser. So, for example, you can play with it from work, or from a tablet/mobile device and have all your loadouts there.

Osmium is a bit more than just a fitter though, it's also a platform to share loadouts (kind of like Battleclinic). The search function is very powerful, and you can have very fine-tuned filters: you can filter by ship name, by tags, by author, or by fitted modules. You can also of course search the title or description (with full-text search).

Feel free to try it, and provide feedback if you wish. Access it here: http://o.smium.org
The meta page is here: https://osmium-org.github.io/osmium/ (contains screenshots, more info and more links).


Features
  • Fully fledged dogma engine: you can expect excellent accuracy for attributes and calculations (as good, or even better than desktop applications like EFT and Pyfa).
  • Loadout privacy settings: you can make loadouts only accessible to yourself, or your corporation (or alliance). You can even make "hidden" fits that you share by giving the URI to your friends (like private youtube videos).
  • You can password-protect loadouts.
  • You can import (and export) loadouts from the following formats: CLF (and gzCLF), EVE XML, EFT and DNA.
  • Smart batch import: you can import multiple fits at once (for example, paste a chat log and import all the fits that were linked).
  • Presets: you can cram several variations of the same concept in one loadout!
  • API character import: use custom skills and characters for calculating the loadout stats.
  • Pain-free registration: no email needed, API verification optional.
  • All loadouts are versioned, so you edit away and revert your changes if you want (and you can link to a specific version of a loadout).
  • Free and opensource software: Osmium is released under the GNU AGPL version 3. All the depedencies are also under GPL-compatible licenses, so you can run your own copy of Osmium if you want, using only free software.
  • Open format: supports the open Common Loadout Format (more information here).


Use cases
  • You have multiple computers, and you want to synchronize your loadouts between them.
  • You are a Mac or GNU/Linux user, and you have trouble (or don't want to) installing a desktop fitter.
  • You are at work, at school, or using a computer where you cannot install or run custom software.
  • You are using a device which cannot run traditional desktop fitters (for example, Android).

Caveats
  • Bugs: there may be some. Please report issues here.
  • Browser support: latest Firefox, Chrome and Android browser are known to work. Users reported Opera and Safari work as well. Don't expect any IE under version 9 to work. Actual IE9 support is unknown (I cannot test it). If you notice layout/rendering issues, please specify your browser and your version (and a screenshot of the issue, if applicable).


For developers
If you want to contribute to the project, feel free to contact me and we can discuss about things together.


You can leave feedback in this thread, on IRC, or by email. See contact for contact details. Use this link to join IRC from your browser.

works fine in safari too. Can you make it so that ship selection is like in the in game market menu? with a drop down at each hull size. That might make it a bit easier to choose.

Another suggestion is to choose mods from a list instead of typing the names in the search. I am assuming it could be done in a browser based tool too.

good work btw. +1

If I find an non-obtrusive way to do it, then maybe. With the current design, you can just focus the list and type in the first letters of the ship you want to select (for example, if you type "Meg" it will select the Megathron). Using something more fancy will probably break this feature.

It can be done, yes, but it would take lots of screen space, and I don't really know where I would put it. What you can do it put the modules you use frequently in your shortlist, to have them always directly accessible.

could do with something like this to supplant battleclinic.

please add lack of support for
fleet bonuses
implants
personal skills

to your list of caveats

keep it up :)

an open standard like this will greatly aid the community

Does it work in the in-game browser?

Maybe. Maybe not. I run EVE with Wine (GNU/Linux user), and for some obscure reason the IGB immediately crashes when I open it. It would be nice if you could try and report what works and what does not :)

Neato! Is there a way to add drones and especially charges within the main module fitting interface?
This is particularly vital when considering cap stability in cap booster fits.

No, you can't. What you can do is add your cap booster, put your charges in it then go back to step 2, if you really want.

Alright, I worked on the ship select a bit, made it use the market categories.

I need to find a way to make it keyboard-friendly; feel free to give your opinion/suggestions.

Very nice, I like what you did with this. The only problem that I could find was, beyond the lack of eye-candy (irrelevant in the end), that searching for modules and having to build a shortlist like you mentioned is a little difficult when using a tablet or smartphone. I know you mentioned lack of space previously, but a dropdown menu of sorts would still be welcome.

Either way, really nice work. I'll certainly be keeping this one bookmarked for future use

No sig.

Good stuff. I can fit ships anywhere now!

Is there a place to put in pilot skills? I can't seem to find it.

Hatsumi Kobayashi: thank you! I added a market-like browser now, and I used tabs in the right column to save space. I hope you like it!

Hrett: thanks. For the moment, no, the engine will assume all skills are level five. Supporting custom skillsets is planned, and isn't hard, but it would need a lot of new UIs to manage them properly, so it's not highest priority. I hope you understand. (I am also open to contributions, patches welcome!)

You are a hero amongst heros!
I tested it in -ugh- IE9 and it seems to work (didn't bother to check if the export file acually contained anything). =)
I'll try to remember to send a small ISK donation next time I log in.

I REALLY look forward to fitting my ships on my iPhone.

Edit: Also seems to work on my iPhone (safari).

Could you add a scrollbar to the module list? I searched for "425mm" and was rather confused at first when I couldn't find t2 autocannons. Oh, and could you make the module list wider and/or add a horizontal scrollbar so I can see the full name of all modules.

Big update!

Not only was the database updated (with the Inferno 1.2 changes), some new features were added, namely:


  • Atom feeds available on the main page for new/updated loadouts
  • You can vote on loadouts/comments, and gain reputation by getting upvotes
  • Profile page now shows cast votes and reputation changes
  • Available charges are now sorted by damage in the fitting creation page (and show the damage type)
  • Show mining yield (in m³/h) in the attributes section (just in time for the barge changes!)
  • Improved search of modules: try searching for "cn bcs", "rf tp", "a-type eanm", "dc2" or even "therm hardener ii", and you'll see how awesome it is!


I hope you like these changes, because I do! Feedback is always welcome.

The IGB crashes on startup when EVE is run with WINE/Linux due to a fault browsing https:/.
Next time you open it, ignore the wine fault go to Options - > General Settings and change it from the EveGate site to http://www.eveonline.com and save. Then in future when you first open it won't crash.
