Hi,

I'm having trouble getting the skill name for skills in the queue (or elsewhere for that matter). Everywhere I try to grab a skill it turns out to be nothing.

So - for example - in the following code:

Dim api As New CharacterSkillQueueApi
Dim skQ As List(Of SkillInTraining)
api.Configuration.Proxy = GetProxy()
api.AuthenticationData = auth
api.UpdateData(EveApiBase.UpdateCharaceristics.Default)
skQ = api.Data
For Each sk As SkillInTraining In skQ
MsgBox(sk.skill.name) ' *** Error
Next
Return ""

The code bombs out at the line marked '*** Error as the variable sk is set to nothing at that point. I understand that this might be that the API doesn't pass the skill name at this point but is there any way I can grab it?

OK - solved it myself (having spent an evening pondering) :)

I just look up the skill using the skill tree api. My complete code is on pastebin now for anyone who's interested (http://pastebin.com/CXpp3tuz). It's a bit of a mess and needs tidying/commenting.

The program? It takes an existing eve wallpaper (jpg) and creates a new file (png) with my character info overlaid on the top. I combine this with a pre-existing wallpaper changer (http://wallpaperchanger.de) so that I have some pretty wallpaper and character info on my desktop :)

Good idea.

I am waiting for the CREST API to make some tests and implement it on EveAI !

Hi,

I found a bug with the static data PI schematics. Both inputs and outputs are listed in the inputs array.

This can be fixed by changing the StaticDataDataReader ReadBool method to compare to "1" instead of "True".

The fix works perfectly for me but my program only uses PI and production related data so it may cause problems elsewhere.

And thanks for keeping EveAI going, it makes life so much easier :)

I think GetCharacterSheet returns null... dont know why.

Also GetServerStatus returns "Server offline, players 0".
When compiled on VS its run without problem..

Am trying to use vb.net to get the corporationsheet (api.getcorporationsheet() )

No matter what I try I cannot get it to pull the xml (nothing in the cache folder) I can pull getcharactersheet easily enough and the shows in the cache.

If I check the api info for the corp I have been actively polling for the xml in a browser directly from CCP it returns the correct information so I know the api key I have works perfectly.

If anyone has a code block I could take looksee that would be spot on.

New release !

Quote:
Version 2.6.1.0

  • New static data (Retribution_1.0)
  • There is a bug on the CCP export in the invMarketGroups table with the parentGroupID (some items have a parentID that is not in the table). So if you use this to get market tree, you may have some bug.


Fearitude & Alexander Molotov & Johnny Galnetty : I'll see what I can do.

What would be the correct method for pulling in a specific character's standings?

I'd like to be able to compare those to corp standings if possible so I'd want to go through each one (name, and standing level) one at a time to compare them.

Been trying to figure this out all morning but nothing I try is working.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Jognu and all

Fantastic piece of work you and your predecessor have done with this .NET EveApi wrapper.
I was actually implementing my own basing on the direct HTTP API calls when I decided to follow the link to EveAI. Revelation!!!!. Should have done so long ago and saved a bunch of time Lol

I have one question:
- Is this API a CCP project or a private 3rd party project?
I.e. can we trust this to stay stable and keep being compatible with EVE's API as it (probably) evolves further over time?

Actually I have another:
- Is the source code available?

Thanks for the great job!
Cheers

Johnny Galnetty : you should use a corporation API key to use the GetCorporationSheet() function.
If you want to call the API with a character API, you should use the advanced mode with the CorporationSheetApi, like this : http://pastebin.com/A2ns7Eyz

Arloeswr : you should use the GetCharacterContactList (and define the characterID in your AuthenticationData object).

With the Tyrannis expansion, the Standings API has been replaced in favor of the Contact List API.

Barbasja : EveAI is a private 3rd party project. The source code is not available, because I am unable to contact Amida Ta to ask him the permission to publish the sources.
And if I make no mistake, I cannot publish the source without the authorization of the creator ?
But I won't let the project die, if I stop Eve I'll find someone to maintain EveAI.

The Contact API does not provide a way to retrieve the standings agents, corporations and factions have to you.

The Standings API is the only way to retrieve them.

Indeed, it seems that someone has edited the wiki page that I linked yesterday.

Alright, fair enough. I will simply continue wit my own .NET implementation. Almost done anyway.

What I particularly like about yours is that all the static data is embedded in the assembly. No more ties to a SQL server or endless YAML files. The size of it alone reveals this. I am still going via the old database, and haven't quite dived into the YAML.

Would it be possible for you to reveal at least how you copy the static data into the assembly? I understand embedding files in assemblies, no worries, but I find it hard to come up with a good way of automatically creating and parsing all the static data into some useful format that I can read and parse in C# when my API implementation instantiates first time. Basically I need some inspiration, and that's what I hoped to get from your source. If you want privacy, feel free to use the mail system instead of posting here.

Thanks in advance

characterID,characterName are both missing
