Not with you guys on the case o.O

Report 'em n consider them exterminated..... eventually

Howdy.

I got this message when trying to add my corp API details:

That should have fixed it. Try again

couple of messages for clarity on corporate management.

By default site operates on personal mode. so everything you do will only be viewed and accessed by you except in cases where someone assigns you viewing rights in the access tab on projects. If someone enters you as a trustee that project will appear on your list and you can interact with it as if it's yours, assigning transactions, industry jobs, material reports etc

When someone creates a corporate group though, you will get 2 options when creating projects instead of the text Personal. The 2 options are Personal and Request. Requests appear in the project lists as quotes.
Select this option, select the corporation group, select the character you want this request to appear to everyone else as and choose your item(s),
Before anyone can interact with it, a price needs to be given and accepted then it will appear in the list of everyone in that corporation.

Admin

there are 2 levels to corporate administrations. Admin can change the CAK and assign roles. Project managers can do all the project managy things but can't access admin console. characters can have both admin and project roles assigned (those of you who have already created your corps, add project to your list of roles, will happen by default for everyone else now)

you will get a drop down when creating projects. Still the option for personal jobs, but now with corporation for the corp wide projects and quotes as well.
corp projects will imediately appear in the list for everyone to interact with. to create a corporate project, select it from the list, select the corporation group, select your character (only your characters appear here) you want the project to appear responsible for, enter the item(s) you want created and submit.

Quotes can be created for anyone. in corp or out of corp, they are handled the same way.
Creating quotes for someone not registered will appear in their list of projects when they do register automagically.
People outside the corporation can only see the quote progress screen, people in corp who don't have project managers roles can only see the project. Project managers can see everything (corpoate or quotes, personal projects are still kept personal).
Creating a quote is similar to a request except there is an extra called Client Name where you enter who the item is for and a due date. If you leave the due date alone system will suggest a due date depending on what it is your're building. Sub cap ships are around 4-5 days while capitals are build time * 2.5 (to take into account the build time of capital parts + resource collection). Generally around 28 days.

the reason that the Request option on material reports is disabled is because that bit ties into a bit of the site that needs a lot more work. As the name suggests, it is a wish list of stuff that you want. but before I go into too much on that, I'll spend the next couple of days fielding the bugs you throw my way.

Projects have statuses that can be changed. In the project view, click on the Green Active, select a new status. Use them as appropriate.
Due dates can be changed by clicking on the due date (see the cursor go pointy, means there's soemthing clickety there)
Flags on the project list let you set priority. Handy for corporate management to let folks know which project to concentrate on first.

Clarrifying runs in manufacturing - with some item types, 1 BP run creates multiple amounts. EG capacitor boosters create 10 units per run. so 10 runs makes 100, 1000 runs makes 10'000 etc. So this is why some material responses looked out, because I hadn't made it clear. the math was right, but the output was not.
If you create a project of 100 runs of Cap Booster 800s the project will show quantity as 1000. 100 x 10 = 1000....

that should cover most of the mails this morning.

Looks promising so far, but i have a problem with certain items i want to plan via "New Project". Basically the drop down list opens, but i cant select a given item. As example try enter "Investor Tracking Disruptor I", it will list in the search menu, but i cant select it?

bye Andy

PM send, i also would change to display the summarized price for the content of a container, rather than the price of the container itself in the assets overview. I guess we mainly want to know what the whole container content is worth, than what the container itself costs.

thx Andy


PS: I really like the visual icon based lists, helps to faster see/select things, compared to pure text lists.

Hmmmm.... I just tried it with one of my spare toons and it worked. You should get an email through with a link to activate. If you have no email, private message me the char name you registered with and I'll look into it

-So Campaigns...Is their a way to assign projects under a certain campaigns so you can run multiple campaigns at once?

-production time seems to be off for T2 ammo (1 run of T2 Furies takes longer then 30min

-brought this up before (could just be crazy) but the data being pulled for T2 ammunition costs do not correlate with in-game bpc stats. Since the only way to get T2 blueprints (copies) is to use a T1 bpc the data being pulled for the T2 blueprint is not the same when applied in-game. For example to make T2 missiles I have a fully researched/upgraded (whatever its called) T1 bpo that I make copies of and use the copies to make T2 bpc (do not upgrade the t2 bpc farther). with that as the base the production cost varies from what is pulled via the stats you have imported. Leaving ME and PE at 0 and setting it to 1 run, for Scourge Furies, it says I need 88 rocket fuel for 1 run, but in game with the same base the bpc says it requires more then that (I have max Indy skills so that's not an issue). I can fix this by putting negative values in the ME lvl when I create the project but I just thought I'd point this out. Unfortunately with T2 production I think this might be a problem for all values pulled and not just this case


*good work on the site looks astounding and the menus flow very well



Short version, just pointing out some bugs / feature questions up top

Damn this looks nice!

After struggling with various tools that never quite fitted my workflow i was considering writing my own. but you've gone stolen my idea and done it better than i ever could :)

Looking forward to giving it a test soon.

So far im impressed of that tool and the time Raath need for bugfixing is also impressing,
Every bug i found and send to him was fixed in minutes when he was on or on the next evening.

Keep up the good work
