Ships & Modules

Couple more issues:

• When I deactivate a module, all icons in the left panel are replaced by their text descriptions.
• When I have an MJD fitted and active, the sustained tank freaks out and goes way negative.

Love the app now that I'm playing with it more, though. Keep up the good work.

I am making good progress on the new stateless loadout creation page, here's a sneak peek of what will be in the next release…

I've finally decided to not store the version in a tag, because it would make it very difficult to do queries like "get me loadouts for Odyssey 1.0 or newer". (I went with storing the build number, so sorting is easy.) So the tag limit will not be artificially decreased in the future because of that. I get your concern though; in fact proper tag management is very difficult (some tags should be aliased to another, like "long-range" and "snipe", etc.).

Another idea I originally had was to add a special tag (for example "tag-me") to loadouts without tags, and allow users (with enough reputation) to retag loadouts. Unfortunately the whole reputation thing doesn't seem to have taken off yet (are none of the loadouts upvote-worthy? ), so the site is not ready for that yet.

Don't worry, I'll increase the maximum number of tags in the next release.

I like it. Some good additions there. I would recommend adding a Targeting panel on the left side of the loadouts to show scan res, targeting range, number of targets.

(Edit: Maybe drone control range would fit in a targeting panel as well?)

(Edit edit: Possible derp moment for me, but how do I edit one of my fits?)

When I hit "New loadout" in the top bar, it takes me to the module selection section with no option to choose a ship.

Ah, sneaky! Responsiveness of adding modules seems to have improved in this version.

(Edit: maybe it would be helpful if the dialog that pops up when you double-click the empty ship area (that currently says "No ship is selected. What are you expecting?") mentioned that you can select a ship from the search box on the right.)

Expect an update tomorrow. The internal format used for loadouts will change, so if you have any non-saved loadouts (like a loadout you're currently editing), please save them as soon as possible or they will be lost!

I will also probably change the server Osmium is being hosted on, and due to DNS caches the transition will be more or less smooth for people. Look up the server name in the footer. If you see version 0.8.0 running on Golgotha, you are still accessing the old server. You can still access it as usual, but if you do changes (like editing a loadout) expect them to be lost during the transition. If you are seeing version 0.9.0 running on Tetroxide, you're good!

If you're impatient and want to take a look at the new features that are in the new version, take a look at the WIP (or changelog) pages.

EDIT: upgrade complete. If you're still seeing the old version, you just have to wait for your DNS cache to clear up (it can take a couple of days). I have updated the main post.

Here is a TL;DR of the main changes:

• Big performance improvements, thanks to libdogma.
• Targeting and warp related attributes are now shown in the attribute sidebar.
• You can include reload time in DPS, tank and capacitor calculations.
• You can make custom damage profiles and use them for tank/EHP calculations.
• Implants and boosters are now supported. You can even choose which booster side-effects to enable.

Please, give me feedback and report any bugs you find! Thanks.

EDIT: to make things easy for you, here's a direct link to join IRC if you want to chat about Osmium with me.

Little bump. I'm worknig hard on the next version, which will have a better main page (here's a preview, beware this is still a WIP), fleet bonuses and (maybe) projected effects.

In the meantime, please report any bugs you find! Oh, and try to show Osmium to your friends!

Very nice work, enjoying it so far!

Thanks for pointing that out! Mass is one of the three "special" attributes (mass, volume, capacity) that are handled a bit differently internally and they're very easy to overlook. It's all fixed in staging, and it will be in 0.10.
