Just wanted to let you guys know I'm currently negotiating with Covert Kitty to see whether I'll buy her traderoute finding tool.

Any donations towards the 5B cost are appreciated (though not strictly necessary) Blink.

I added a manual group and a manual item to market scanner and now I can't delete them, I get this:

Quote:
Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in /var/www/www.evemarketeer.com/mod/uploader.php on line 77 MYSQL ERROR OCCURRED: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 1


Also one of my groups is named ($type).

Ah yes, manual groups are kind of totally broken. I'll implement the same item list system that I'm currently using for reports into the manual item selection screen before the week is done. In the meantime, you can already create item lists when you go to 'Account -> Lists'.

I apologize for my unableness to fix manual items. And apologize more for not being able to do so in the coming time.

I have also added a poll to the EVE Marketeer homepage to gouge interest in having trade finding software (reportedly the best) bought. Usage will be free of course.

The unified uploader doesnt work for me. I've found the following error message in the log file

Traceback (most recent call last)
File "emkUploader.py", line 19, in

KeyError: 'LOCALAPPDATA

Theres no such environment variable in my windows XP version.
Even after creating it, I really couldn't get it to work. My EVE installation is located at g:/games/EVE and to uploaded expects a CCP folder.
Why not just making the path configurable through the config.ini?

I think you can actually edit it trough the config.ini? If you enter it there, I believe it will not automatically try to look up your installations anymore.

It should look like this:

[installations]
installation_count = 1
installation_0 = C:\Users\Bart\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_(x86)_ccp_eve_tranquility

That said, I'll see if I cannot make it optional, since it could potentially be annoying if issues like this exist.

My installations section currently looks like this:

[installations]
installation_count = 0

I'll try to add a installation_0 value and see if I can get it to work.

On the regional prices tab, I'd like to see (2) filters up top.

1) Only show regions with updated prices within the last 6 / 12 / 24 / 48 / 72 hours

2) Only show null or only show empire regions

Please do not forget to turn installation count to 1 then (I assume you were going to do this, but just to be certain Blink )

I've added my installation path manually to config.ini and the client will start now. However, nothing happens. All upload stats will be set to zero. Browsing the market doesnt do anything in the client. Logs show nothing.

Be aware you have to add your 'eve application data' path to the config, not the installation directory of EVE itself.

In my install, this is C:\Users\Bart\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_(x86)_ccp_eve_tranquility. This folder contains two other folders, called 'cache' and 'settings'.

Not exactly sure whether this would be on your computer. I believe in XP it must be C:/Documents and Settings/Bart/Application Data or something, application data is generally a hidden folder, so you might have to turn show hidden folders on to actually see it.

Found the directory and got it working now. Thanks!

Btw. how many API calls do you allow per minute/hour/day? Can you give me any number, so I can be safe you won't block my application at some point?

I just trust that if you do too many calls, everything will become very slow, and you'll stop doing as many calls. If anything truly becomes slow, I'll investigate and block someone, but that hasn't ever happened yet.

Love your site. I've been using your API to pull data to build some spreadsheets for PI.

I am trying to look at what to produce by looking at the amount of items are up for sale in Jita and how many of them have been bought, and creating some sort of index for it.

So a question or two:

What is demand? You give it as, "demand: the total amount of items bought". Is this in the past day? 90 days?

Secondly, I'm trying to create a good indicator of what to produce based on your API pulls for sell_lowest5, supply_in_5, and demand. Basically trying to look at how much is currently on the market, how much is being bought from the market, and at what prices. Care to give any advice/guidance on this?

Both of these are open to anyone, could really use the help!

Ah, demand is as, the total quantity of all buy orders together, at this point in time. To see the amount of items bought, you should try looking at movement, and the estimated buy/sell. This is an average per day.

As to a good indicator of what to produce, I have no idea, I'm only providing the data ^^ but there are probably a lot of people whom can tell you how to do this.

First of all, kudos for having put anchors to be able and link the item details tabs!

Suggestion: add the ability to specify the time frame (i.e. weekly bars) and days resolution (i.e. 360) as anchors.

Possible bug:
I think I found a bug: weekly candles (montly too maybe) seem to be drawn starting from today. I.e a weekly candle would show from last Thursday to this Thursday or similar. The correct calculation is to draw from the beginning of the nth previous session to nth-1 session. I.e. Today's candle would be a candle formed by Monday to today candle, the previous candle would be from 2 mondays ago to last Sunday and so on.

Market Scanner page has gotten very unreliable over the past week or two. Sometimes when you hit the "play" button, it does the countdown and starts changing the item displayed, but never opens up the market window in-game.

(I've had to switch to using EMD or EC sites to do the scanning.)
