Pathfinder is a desktop application which is able to find the shortest path between solar systems (including wormholes) using data retrieved from Eve SDE and 3rd party wormhole mapping tools. The application is able to run on all systems where Python and PySide (PyQt) are supported.
Features:
- Ability to add wormhole connections from Tripwire
- CREST authentication for reading the player location and setting the destination in-game
- Avoidance list
- Wormhole size restrictions
- Instructions specify the signature and type of the wormhole (makes navigation easier)
- One-line output which can be copy-pasted for those lazy fleet members
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ cd src

Pathfinder reconstructs its own version of the Eve solar map from the 'mapSolarSystemJumps' table of the Static Data Export database. After that, the solar map can be extended by retrieving connections from popular 3rd party wormhole mapping tools. The JSON response from Tripwire is processed and the connections are added to the existing solar map. Graph algorithms will compute the shortest path taking certain things into account like avoidance list and wormhole size restrictions.
Sample JSON response from Tripwire (converted to YAML for easy reading). This type of response is processed and added to the application's own solar system representation:
id: "5642035"
signatureID: "GGC"
system: ""
systemID: "31000857"
connection: "Hutian"
connectionID: "30002217"
sig2ID: "JTC"
type: "B274"
nth: null
sig2Type: "K162"
nth2: null
lifeLength: "24"
life: "Stable"
mass: "Stable"
