Extract the zip into the chars folder of EFT (or wherever you want to but the imported char files will be placed in the same folder that the python scripts are in).
Run the EFT_ESI_importer.py. On first run it will ask for client ID and client secret. To get them register as a developer at https://developers.eveonline.com/ (requires EVE char that has had paid subscription at some point). You need to register an application with following scopes: esi-skills.read_skills.v1 and esi-clones.read_implants.v1 . Set the callback url to http://localhost/oauth-callback. (this needs to be done only once and the same client credentials will work for any number of character imports).
Then you get into the main menu of the script. Select “log in” (just put “L” and press enter). Log in your character that you want to import. After logging in you will be redirected into nonfunctional site that looks like http://localhost/oauth-callback?code=4mv7cbUYZ2jtCtxE6w34vsfse0-5lbpfN0AwsefrSZupKu_30OJ2lshXfuM4enmG70. Copy paste the part after ?code= into the script window.
Repeat logging in for all characters that you want to import.
Then just start the import (“S” and enter).
Any time you want to reimport the characters you rerun the script. The character importing in EFT has not been touched and won’t work. There is also t he fast_EFT_ESI_importer.py included that skips all the questions and simply imports all the characters that have been logged in before. You can use that when you just want to refresh the skills.
Thank you very much for taking the time to post that but like I said earlier, I’m not a computer programmer. I had EFT working before on my computer with my character stats imported and the last time I remember it working correctly was right after Peter Han updated EFT with the Assault Frigate changes.
Anyway, I tried following your instructions but downloading programs for developers and then trying to run command prompts on my computer is a fast track to trouble. I already had the Eve Application with ID and Secret Key created earlier. I downloaded the EFT-ESI-Importer zip file and extracted it into EFT characters folder.
Don’t know why I need to download a bunch of Developer Programs but I did the python and as for pipenv install requests, I downloaded this: https://github.com/requests/requests
Hell, I don’t even know where those programs are suppose to be placed on my computer. After that I got lost. I have no idea how to run EFT_ESI_importer.py. and quite frankly I don’t like the idea of messing around with my computers programming or entering developer command prompts on it when I have no idea what I’m doing.
The last thing I wanna do is mess up my computer. I’m sorry but without a User Friendly way to import my character stats back into EFT, it’s probably better if I just use pyfa instead.
Cant change the level of disintegrator specialization of all sizes, and disintegrator dps graphs seem to be broken. Also the new Creodron drone implants seem to be missing as well. T10-5D and D5-10T
I referenced EveMon for the skill levels of my character and then manually placed those skill levels into EFT’s character editor. I just gotta remember to check and manually update skills when needed.
Thanks for that, I now have my character profile back in EFT.
The October update has been posted. Included are the changes to Warp Disruption Field Generators / Zero-Point Mass Entanglers, Crow / Damavik changes, and a few other minor tweaks.
Ingame, the zero-point mass entangler does not cost capacitor to maintain and it has no cycle time. Also the mass calculation with 2+ modules is wrong. I tested it on the test server
The Onslaught update has been posted. Included are the changes to Force Auxiliaries, new Triglavian ships, and ECM ships / modules.
While this is not the first time that the SDE does not match the game, the Zero-Point Mass Entangler is now stacking penalized and costs negligible capacitor to run. Despite the in-game tooltips showing otherwise, this is the behavior observed in game.
Hey, first of all eft is pretty amazing and i love using it for fits. However about 5 min ago I noticed that the name of a fit I had had some weird characters in the middle of the name, i edited the name and it crashed. I got a (no memory) error message or something like that and when i tried to open it again about 90% of my fits were gone. meep.
im getting an error whenever trying to add a slot 11 booster to a fit.
Access violation a address 00516344 in module ‘EFT.exe’. Read of address 00000031.
This seems to break the whole Setups folder as when I try to reopen EFT after triggering the slot 11 bug, it will give me another access violation error and fail to load anything. Had to manually remove the Setups folder to be able to use EFT again.
