wth wouldnt you update your first post withh the most up to date version herpderp

First, thanks for a great tool - It has saved me a ton of time since a couple months ago when I discovered it. +1 from this guy.

I am still getting a couple errors though, even with the latest version - one is the crash during actually checking the API that has been mentioned above in the thread. It seems to die when looking at killmails; I wonder if you didn't update it for the possible presence of new scanning modules or some other new thing? I guess the API might have changed a bit in the latest expansion, and I'm just brainstorming what might have changed.

Another error, though it doesn't seem to affect operation, is upon initial load: I get a popup box (application modal information window) that says "Error loading data. The application will now close" or something very similar. My only option is an OK button, but when I press it - the app does not close. It still lets me open a project and do stuff, though I then get the error above when I check the APIs.

I'm happy to help troubleshoot, so if there is something you want me to try, let me know.

Yes and no. The API from CCP will now just return combat scanner probes instead of deep space ones, but the zKillboard API returns a non-existing item. (Because it was removed.)
This shouldn't crash anything though, it just says 'Unknown item' in the logs.
I debated making a specific exception for those two items, but figured it wasn't worth it in the long run, as they're not coming back.


That should certainly not happen... Especially the application not closing after that message.
If the data isn't loaded, the whole thing would never work, hence the closing part.

After some testing I've been able to replicate the fault causing it not to quit, will fix it asap. (Shouldn't be too hard.)
As for why it shows in the first place is another issue...
Do you have the data folder in the same place as the exe?


-edit-
Fixes here and here (x86).

Well, that shouldn't be happening.
Did you replace the data folder with the one in the current archive?

If you did, then I'll need some more info:
1) What version of Windows are you using?
2) Is your current date/time setting correct?
3) Which country/language variation of Windows are you using?


On the bright side, that's exactly how it's supposed to happen. The main window should be the last to go.

Figured as much as soon as I started to think about it - my bad.
Simple explanation: The dates in the data file are in European format. Your version of Windows doesn't understand dd-mm-yyyy, silly Americans.
I really should've thought about that before publishing. /o\

On the bright side, it's VERY easy to fix.
While I work on making it function properly, you can simply replace the Type.js file in the data folder with this one for a quick and dirty fix.

On a related note:
Due to recent changes in the API the kill API may cause the application to crash.
For now, I recommend unticking 'Kills: API' on the Scan settings tab.

I love the social button.

All I can say is this tool is freakin awesome, major kudos!

Parse corp information how?

location of corp members, list of corp assets, pos's etc... all the things that corp level API gives you? :)

C#?

You dickhole. You monster.


That having been said, your application is probably awesome for people who think they are guarding against spais and the like, so you've probably brought some peace and mind to the community. For that, I commend you.
