UPDATE: Solution to the previous step 4.

Once your logged into game on the character you wish to make images of open up your 'monitor'. This can be done by pressing "Shift + Control + Alt + M". Locate the 'Logs" Tab. Open it. Press 'stop' on log. Now sort by 'type'.

The string you are looking for should now be the 6th string down assuming you've done nothing else other than logging in. This is what you will be looking for;

svc::gameui | notice| GameUI::OnSessionChanged, Blah Blah Blah Session: (sid:0000000000000, clientID:0, mutating:0, contextOnly:False, locationid:00000000, corprole:0x0, userid:1234567, languageID:EN, role:0x00000000000000000, charid:12345678

(NOTE: Changed incriminating values to '0' as well as User and Char ID values. Within these strings you can see systems/stations/stargates/session values which can be converted to a readable format with a dictionary. ADVICE: Don't f**k with this!)

You now know the Char and User ID's of your target characters. Do this for each character to obtain the values and save the values in notepad for future use.

Updated by request.

right, However, The userID both refereed to and required for this to work is not the same as the userID from the previous versions of API keys. One of the first things I tried. Note, also the Old API keys will soon cease to function entirely.

That's strange. I even went back and looked. I don't doubt what you say. Must have the ability to be different then for different accounts/toons.

I've posted on this a few times:

copy overview settings to multiple accounts
Save client settings
so my machine suddenly rebooted while playing and now ...
Client Side Settings
Export People and Places

EDIT: EVEmon also shows your character ID in key management, or How do you find Your User ID

Updated.

Also with the releases of the new expansion Retribution there are some REALLY nifty things that can be done client side now. Will update them within the week. I want to make sure they are both legal (EULA) and function smoothly before posting them. Anyway thanks fly safe =)

Yup Yup no worries =)

As for obtaining the info VIA iPhone I have no clue. I hate apple! :P But if you switch to android there is some awesome apps there at your disposal. AURA for EVE Online is a good one. If you have any knowledge of python you can decompile and re code it to give it to you at request. That's my understanding anyway. Either way it's a great app as is.

Thanks you for the input but as it has been stated before there are at least 20 ways to obtain the CharID. All of which are relatively straight forward and easy to do. Even easier to view the char ID is to just view your portrait in EVE Gate and view the URL. It will contain it.

The user ID is the harder one to get and is only available In-Game or with ServerSNS apps. So why not view them both in the same location if possible?

So instead of going to multiple places to find separate ID's to make things easier for the user I have included a way to find them both in the same place. Thus my method will allow you to obtain both ID's in a short amount of time located in the same exact string in-game.

Again thanks for the input and if you can find a quicker way to do this I will gladly update it here. Two eyes are better than one.

Thanks for the research!

When I copied my settings over to my other 2 alts (On different accounts) I only changed the core_char_xxxxxxxxx file and left the user one alone and it seemed to work fine, not sure what is contained in the User file but all my settings / groups / bm's etc etc copied perfectly fine
