There is not.
I hadn't really realized the changes, so I didn't redo the database.
Will upload a new version somewhere this weekend.

So were you able to tweak the program? Is there an updated version, or a patch to download?

Sorry, real life has been tearing me a new one lately.
I have tomorrow off, will upload a new version then. Promise.

Now with more cowbell!
New version sports a stunning update to reflect the current status of Eve, a small bit of bugfixing and a rewrite of the mail parsing system.

Downloads here and here for the x86 version.

Works perfectly - the changed names of skills, as well as the new locations of skills all show up perfectly. You're awesome, man. Thanks for such a quick turnaround.

Great tool. Sign me up as a tester. I've run into an error, and got the popup below. I'm not savy with computer programming, so do you just want this text? or a file also?

Error Text

EDIT: I do have a question for you though. How does your tool determine awoxing likelyhood? What are the criteria you use to make that determination? I'm trying to compare that to my own strategies at discovering potential awoxers.

@Nolen Cadmar: Did you download the images archive and place the contents in the same folder as the program? (You should now have Cache/, data/ and Images/ in there.)

As for the awoxing, it's really a pretty stupid counter.
First, any friendly kills are counted, excluding those with 0 damage done. (Which we expect to be webbing freighters etc.)
Second, the lame part:
Quote:
string awoxprobability = "Unlikely";
if (personalawox > 8)
{
awoxprobability = "Highly likely";
}
else if (personalawox > 2)
{
awoxprobability = "Likely";
}
else if (personalawox > 0)
{
awoxprobability = "Possible";
}

I get an error in the logs, An error occured while trying to poke zKillboard. Error: The remote server turned an error: (429) Unknown Error.

So I only see api kills.

Well, looking at that message I'd say the problem lies with zKillboard...

Maybe restrict that to webs only? By the current algorithm you'd be missing this awox: https://zkillboard.com/detail/28644456/

Also might not be a bad idea to restrict it further to webbing module on freighter/orca otherwise might also pass up some awox where the offender also webbed the target and for whatever reason that is the module that registered on the km...

Good point, I forgot to mention that - the 0 damage thingy only counts if the weapon is unknown or a web.

Quote:
if (c.weaponTypeID != 0 && Kill.WebModules.Contains(c.weaponTypeID.ToString()))
{
// web and 0 damage, someone trying to web a freighter
continue;
}

Not a bad call, although then you'd also have false positives such as Vindicators webbing carriers into warp. (I do it quite often.)

Firstly great tool. Really useful. However the new deployables seem to break the tool as well if a character has been on a killmail for one or has one in their assets.

You forgot the images archive.
Make sure to download it and place the resulting folder next to the .exe.
Now that I know the error is always the same for that scenario, I'll be sure to write a more helpful error message in the next release.

That's because I'm a bad person and haven't updated the internal database to Rubicon yet. I really need to work on finding more time for these things.
Will update as soon as I have a chance. (The technical reason is I never wrote any sort of exception handling when it comes to types, as there is no realistic reason for a type we don't know about to exist.)

Now with more Rubicon!

Downloads here and here for x64- and x86-systems respectively.

You will need a new set of images. (available here)

Finding this quite useful myself.

Thanks.

A quirk that I come across regularly is the inconsistent field sorting.

Specifically, the financial data. "Wallet Journal" in the Result Overview screen. Sorting by "Amount"
-I guess the data in those fields is treated as "Text" and not numbers. So sorting from largest to smallest shows;
-950.01
949,255,000.09
-832.05

So not sure of what's actually going on.

But first thing.. Numbers should Align Right, that would make the fields much easier to read. Then they should be treated as Numbers not Text. Current sort order doesn't function properly.

And since ones' financial info shows a significant amount about a pilots game activity...
