Any chances of seeing the source code? Because this is essentially a data miner and something that I am not too happy about ever phoning home.

When I click to expand a desired solar system in the assets tab, it continually pop-ups a dialog reading, "Image already added?" and continues to do so until I've clicked 'Ok' twenty or more times and then everything within the program becomes unclickable.

Did you download the Images package and place it in the same directory? (ie. does that folder have a subfolder called Images?)
That's a leftover message from debugging, because I'm bad at maintaining my codebase, but it does indicate a pretty serious problem.

I'm still not entirely sure on that one, but I'm leaning towards no most of the time.
However, due to it being C#, you could easily run it through a decompiler if you're just looking for peace of mind. (The test guy a few posts above you seems to have done just that.)

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

While certainly possible, it's a bit of a stretch from the main purpose of the application.
The one scenario I considered was if someone has an altcorp; it could be very useful to look into that sort of stuff.
It's on the to-do list, but not something I can add within a few hours, so it'll be a while before, if ever tbh, (I'm a lazy man.) I add it.


Everyone else:
Thanks! Big smile

Of course, but you understand that I find your decision not to release the source code rather strange when you on the other hand also say "you could easily run it through a decompiler"?

Yep.
Doesn't seem to stop everyone else though. Smile

All I can and will do right now is promise that there is no data mining going on outside of your own computer.
Everything that you can see through my application can only be seen then and there. I don't even save the results locally. (Although most API calls are cached.)

Just tried to use it...

system: WinXP 32-bit

downloaded 32-bit version (APIcheckerv261-x86.zip),
downloaded Images folder,

after double click I get:

"API checker v2.exe is not proper Win32 application"
(translated from Polish, so English txt box may differ)

Any clues?

Damnit. Sad
Basically, the newest version of Visual Studio, which I use, wasn't made to work on x86 systems.
They said to have patched that later on, but I guess it didn't work.
I'll have to look into it some more and get back to you.

[edit]
Can you give this version a try?
Also, please check which version of .Net you have installed. (Configuration panel > Software > Look for Microsoft .Net Framework [numbers])

Works like a charm, thanks ;-)

Have you thought any about DUST514 and when CCP releases the DUST514 API's? Just basically asking if you have thought of that for future stuff.

In the same directory as the other stuff. So your directory should have APIcheckerv2.exe, the two DLL's, readme.txt, changelog.txt, a data folder and an images folder.

That had never even crossed my mind, no.
I'm not really into dust myself - is there something worth checking there? I thought you couldn't currently share anything between Eve and dust?

Hi ItsMe,

Love the app, thank you very much for your time and efforts!

One concern/question - I'm getting a 403-Forbidden return when the app queries the zKillboard servers - any suggestions as to possible causes and/or fixes?

Thanks again for all the hard work!

Regards,
J.

I got nothing...
Maybe a temporary downtime on their part?

Excellent program saved me lots of trouble and work.
However recently been getting this:

Error: Error fetching RefTypes.
And then the program closes.

I will try and do a reinstall.

EDIT: Apparently the API server was down Big smile

Yup, that'd do it.
I really should add some better error handling there. P

The version I am using does not seem to have the modified skill list that came with the most recent update - the skills which changed their names, as well as the entire "Resource Processing" section.

Is there a newer version that supports these changes?
