PED Hunter

Free, local-first Entropia Universe profit intelligence.

Philosophy

• free for everyone forever
• donations welcome, no paid API or account wall
• local-first by default
• modern, simple, and extensible

What it does

• tracks Entropia chat logs for loot, combat, crafting, and skill events
• stores sessions in SQLite
• seeds item/resource/crafting catalogs from the legacy LootNanny data files
• resolves community shorthand like Frontier Rifle to the actual starter weapon Frontier Hunting Rifle
• computes derived values like cost per shot from the item catalog

Interface direction

PED Hunter borrows LootNanny's best basic idea — a run-centric Entropia tracker that follows chat logs and summarizes loot, combat, skills, and crafting — but updates it into a cleaner local-first desktop cockpit:

• dashboard summary cards for live loot, combat damage, event count, stored sessions, and tracking state
• clear start/stop controls with visible chat-log status
• recent session history backed by SQLite
• live event stream for parsed chat lines
• LootNanny-style session skill-gain summary with total XP, procs, and proc share by skill
• loadout builder inspired by LootNanny's Config flow so hunt costs are based on weapon, amp, scope/sights, and enhancers
• catalog search with weapon cost/shot details and aliases
• setup guidance for first-time users

The goal is to keep the useful parts of LootNanny's workflow while avoiding dense legacy form layouts and making room for richer modern catalog sources.

Quick start

Download the Windows .exe from the latest GitHub release, or run from source:

Running PED-Hunter.exe with no arguments opens the dashboard. Command-line subcommands are still available from a terminal.

1. Install Python 3.11+
2. Create the normalized catalog:

python tools/sync_legacy_data.py

3. Launch the dashboard:

python -m ped_hunter gui

4. Watch a log file:

ped-hunter monitor --chat-log "%APPDATA%/Entropia Universe/chat.log"

5. Ask for stats:

ped-hunter stats

6. Look up a weapon:

ped-hunter weapon "Frontier Rifle"

Building the Windows executable

Release executables are built with PyInstaller:

python -m PyInstaller PED-Hunter.spec

The spec bundles data/catalog/ so catalog lookups work from the standalone .exe.

Data source

The seed catalog is imported from the legacy LootNanny database files at: https://github.com/euloggeradmin/LootNanny

The legacy LootNanny seed set does not currently include the newer Frontier starter weapons, so PED Hunter adds supplemental entries backed by EntropiaWiki and Entropia Nexus:

• Frontier Hunting Rifle
• Frontier Combat Knife
• Frontier Combat Knife, Adjusted
• Sources: EntropiaWiki weapon id 3070, Entropia Nexus, Entropia Nexus Frontier Combat Knife, Entropia Nexus Frontier Combat Knife, Adjusted

For convenience, PED Hunter also accepts the shorthand:

• Frontier Rifle → Frontier Hunting Rifle

Notes

The legacy LootNanny seed set is useful, but PED Hunter is being rebuilt with a cleaner architecture and a more modern feel.
