hello everyone,

UghUghUghUghUgh

im sure this is on forums somewhere but i just cant find it after searching for like 2 1/2 days
here is the deal when i started playing back 10 years ago i used the ( out-of-game tools ) like

EVEMON
EFT
MIN CAL
EVE-MEEP
and a few others

not i stopped playing around 2008 and returned like on this past Saturday or so and well im tiring to get them programs to work again but they will not load character data...i get server status but it don't show that i am even training a skill ( but i am )
i have made new API KEYS for character and for the all type and tried both to no avail

in some of the programs i get the error that the connection was closed and more like that

not sure what to do here but......
i did see somewhere that the API is disabled due to servers being repaired or replaced , and that also the old API is being don't away with an replaced with the new one.....( an yes i even got my old API and tried them as well and didn't work )

now what im asking is this .....

if anyone has information that will help me get these programs to work again (( that's if they are still allowed to be used ))
please link me to some information ......
i have searched each tools web page for help and found nothing dealing with my issues

thanks to anyone that can help ahead of time

Thanks

Get a new API key and enter your information into the programs.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Don't know if you did this already, but they must be updated to have the current item database (which includes skills)
With the recent patches I've had to completely reinstall some applications in order to get them to work properly.

So long as you make a backup of your settings, and the installation procedure has been set up in a decent manner then no settings should be lost.

However if the application version you used the last time is so ancient that the settings format itself has changed then you may have to set things up again including API's

Dude, what the **** is wrong with you ? O_o

Chill out !


You're reading stuff into my words i haven't even written !

Are you drunk or something ??

It's just funny that your corp is named that way, considering the new order of highsec !
Is all i've said, is all i've meant and there's nothing more to it !


Are you deliberately trying to make me come after you or something ? o_O

and 3rd...ROFLMFAO RAGE QUIT..... try real life work ( i got called back to a old job driving a simi to west coast and Alaska..... and them trips take over 1 1/2 to 3+ weeks depending on dest and well i would rather be getting 4,500$ a week then to have to settle for the 700$ a week i was making and get to play eve every night

an another note to the rage quit, i was CEO and ALLIANCE EXECUTOR in this game for the longest so yea


so in short i didnt rage quit, i had a real life
and again whats this stuff about high sec, i havent had time to read everything yet so,,, still tring to catch up


and that time i ment to use caps

and come at me???? na dont think so but if you wish to try im game i dont back down just make sure to have some good music going LOL

but would rather to just enjoy game but o well still like it use to be in 2003 ppl like to run off at the mouth and try to start stuff and drop to a kids level of thinking an call names
*points finger at "Tesal"

this game needs age restrictions like we talked about in the beta with the devs an all

You can't spell what you do for a living? You must not be very good at it.

Nothing new about that. You sure you didn't buy your character?

Most likely a PEBKAC issue.

6. Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another. Text of this nature is not beneficial to the community spirit and will not be tolerated. Corporation, faction and alliance members and other players are cautioned to avoid allowing “in character” disputes from becoming "out of character" personal attacks. The game is designed for role-playing and/or portraying a role and it is sometimes easy for tempers to flare when the lines between the virtual world and the real world are crossed. Please keep in-game disputes in the game and off the forum unless it is clearly a mutual, in-character exchange.

7. Trolling is prohibited.
Trolling is the word used to describe a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting the players. Posts of this nature are disruptive and do not contribute to the sense of community we want for our forums.

20. Post constructively.
Negative feedback can be very useful, provided that it is presented in a civil, factual manner. Tell us what you don't like and why and how you feel it could be improved. Posts that are not constructive, insulting or rude may be deleted, no matter how valid the ideas behind them may be.


As this thread is not going good places, and has little chance to do so, I'm going to lock it right here.

OP: Eve right now is very different in many aspects compared to what it was when you last played. To get help with changed game mechanics, ships, etc., I suggest you post to the New Citizens Q&A. Other returning vets have done the same and gotten great help.

On the other hand, for your 3rd party tech/API problems, I suggest either asking in NC Q&A (linked above) or, if you are experiencing bugs, posting to the EVE Tech Lab.

Good luck!
