540k backog now.

Thinking about how to calculate the top-10 market hubs again.

The naive method - just sum up all the buy orders value in that location, report on that. Then sum up all the sell order value, report on that. Maybe drop the outliers first.

The 5% method - Take the 5% sell price for each item, multiple by the total number of units for sale. This avoids the "1M ISK shuttle" from skewing the numbers. May as well do the same for the buy price.

Sum of the daily transactions - Use the history data, average the past 7 or 14 days, sum up the amount of ISK that changed hands. But this is only region-wide, not station/system.

Things I would like to see:

- Top market regions by ISK value, both top 10 buy-order regions, top 10 sell-order regions and top 10 combined value.

- Top systems by ISK value (so all of the stations in Jita, not just CNAP 4-4).

- Top stations by ISK value

You should track the top 20 locations in a table each day so you can present the top 5 or top 10 as a graph showing how they stack up over time.

I'm very curious to see how the various regions stack up against each other, and what the top 10 regions / systems are.

The uploading process is pretty much unaffected by big queries (at least, as far a mysql is concerned), but the server itself might be a bit slow. Regardless, this is a query you will do at most once a day, and cache the results. That is acceptable in my opinion.

So, if I go to this link:
http://www.evemarketeer.com/uploader

The "play" button only works about 1/2 the time at getting the market window to open up.

But if I go to:
http://www.evemarketeer.com/uploader/display/all/orders

Then it mostly seems to work correctly.

When it breaks, it simply won't open the market window, but the timer sits and cycles through items and counts down.

I finally found time to do something with EMK again, so I'll be looking into this today. And see if I cannot have those processes autostart.

Update: Going to http://www.evemarketeer.com/uploader and clicking play, works for me each and every time. Is there anything specific you are doing before that? I just open the browser and go right to that page then click play.

In addition on what machine are you running EVE, and what are it's settings?

Just trying to gather some information :)

Since the other day when the upload stopped working, I am unable to send prices any more.
I have cache files delete enabled on startup. It deletes them but won't upload anything, I just see the windows open and close like in the past but nothing gets sent.

I don't have junction points, I have a second computer I put only to do this sort of stuff (only 1 client ever runs in there).

I noticed on my main computer I can get never-upload-before items do get uploaded (the others won't, due to an issue Callean told earlier).

On the second computer it just won't upload anything ever.
If I run my own made cache reader I can pull out everything easy, as this post can prove. The fun thing is, that second computer used to be the one that flawlessy sent everything up.

Is it possible that a recent patch created another "machonet" folder so the EvE Marketeer uploader does not delete the old folder files?
If so, what should I manually delete to be sure I don't bork something like i.e. my settings?

FYI,

Great site, btw

I wanted to find out if you are interested in another developer getting involved in this project. I've all ready spent roughly 40 - 60 hours working with the code and have a lot of ideas for new features (and performance ideas).

The problem I am running into though is that there is no data dump of default values (items for example) so even after getting everything setup on my dev server I cannot duplicate the existing site. Its basically a functioning site with no data (pretty important).

Some of the things I have been working on are:

1. consolidating many of the configs into 1 primary config file.
2. Installation instructions (mainly for myself, but available to everyone).
3. Properly sized icons (image icons are way to big for display withing the sites layout).
4. Item database. Adding aucutal item data, not just item market data.
5. Items reprocessed amounts.
6. css / html optimization.
7. various calculators and tools for players to use (ore to mineral converter using market data for example.

So yeah, if you want a kick ass developer helping out send me a message and we can get some discussion going. I love the project (and the existing code is pretty sexy) and would love to get involved with it.

This may be related to the uploads not getting processed, but this appears to be returning nothing:

If uploads still aren't processing, that would make sense. But it is a bummer for me, trying to steal your data :)
