Market Discussions

Seeing how 3rd party websites have a quite annoying attitude at crashing or being slow I created a nasty, bare looking but functional web page that may be loaded in the IGB.

All it does is to auto-switch items in the market window so you can fill your client cache with updated data and then do whatever you want with it: submit to EvE-Central / EvE-Market Data / EvEMarketeer or directly use it with EvE-Mentat / Reverence scripts.
Along with the EvEMarketeer Uploader it's part of what I currently use to create my charts.

I am not going to post this in the Tech Labs forum because I don't want my server to be flooded, it's for MD.
I know other websites have similar pages but they are either slow or require reloads to change items and / or those websites are sometimes running and sometimes down (expecially EvEMarketeer.com).


Usage:

1) Open the IGB and go to this URL.

2) Add that URL to the trusted sites.

3) Add the URL as bookmark.

4) Open the market window (empty is OK).

5) Click to the kind of data you want to save: the regular market orders ("Market Data") tab will only save market orders, if you click on the "Price History" tab it will only save the market history. Make sure to set it to year so you save as many data as possible.

6) In the IGB web page you'll have some simple buttons.
Pressing the button to the right of a certain items category will make the market window cycle through all those items and then restart from the first item. The cycling is used by some uploaders.
The cycling will not stop until you press the last "Stop the updates" button.

The cycling takes some time due to several factors and EvE anti-server overload mechanics.


If you find the page useful please visit the rest of the website and click on some banners. It is not free to me hosting it.

Or donate to the VAERT charity.

That page is brutally assembled to do my personal tasks.

In order to make a proper customizable list I'd need to add database support which in turn involves configuring daemons on the server and so on. My utter lack of contiguous time won't let me to.

If you desire your own custom list I'll create an hard coded custom page for you, please eve mail me to discuss the details.

It is, but it opens the page to thousands of regular and XSS exploits able to nuke my server. I would have to setup a nice environment where to sanitize inputs and whatever is needed. Probably too long of a task.

Yeah it's not like I made it hard to fiddle with.
I even put debug stuff everywhere and wrote it without any 3rd party library or include.
It's also decently modular so all you have to do is to copy and paste a section and edit a couple of suffixes (and item IDs of course).

translation: how much you're going to pay.

Honest question because I think this looks like a really cool tool, and I'm new to market tools, has CCP whitelisted having the IGB automatically switch through the market? I'm guessing they have, since I assume this is using some IGB hook/tool/whatever to do the switching. Just want to check first.

Wonderful.
