The language is VB and the GUI library being used is WinForms. You can run the program through a .NET decompiler like ILSpy and take a look at the code that runs it but I wouldn't recommend using it as a guide. It's not well designed!

Designing a "clean" UI has very little to do with the language being used and everything to do with the skill of the person layout out the elements. Personally I find the UI to be very busy without much logical ordering to the placement of controls which makes it rather confusing to use.

You can just download my code from sourceforge. No need to use a decompiler.

If you don't like parts of my layout (always been a function over design guy), I'm always open to suggestions.

You'll have to give me a bit more info than that.

It literally says "We've experienced unexpected errors" and then it crashes.

I can't give you more info than it happens when I try to update prices.

Downloading the source would be far easier. I'm too used to programs being closed.

I'll run it again and see if I can pinpoint what I don't like.

I can't reproduce this error, which is why I need more information. Please send me a screenshot of the error and associated options on the screen. Also, if you can send the contents in your EVEIPH.log file in your instal folder that will help.

The code isn't the greatest either but I'm more interested in getting things to work than being elegant. If this was my paid job I'd probably spend more time thinking it out and cleaning it up.

I am having problems today getting Eve IPH to work with my character. I had an error with API (was running fine last night) and now when i try to put in a new key, even after making a new key i am getting an error that says

"Unable to update API data. Error Text: The remote server returned an error: 404 Not Found.

If one of your APIs changed recently, please update it through the Manage Accounts Menu"

evemon seems to be working fine with my apis so i am just curious

Just tried a key and it worked fine. Only thing I can think to check is to make sure you are using the KeyID and not the AccessMask.

If you are still having trouble, evemail me the key and I can take a look.

Hello. I am having trouble with the Tool. Why can't I see any of the Large Control Tower Blueprints in the Blueprints or Manufacturing tab? As far as I can see they only show the Small and the Medium Variants of the Towers. Suggestions?

They are showing for me. They aren't called 'Large' towers though. Not sure if you are searching on that keyword.

However, looks like if you check the L box for large items, it won't come up but medium and small are fine. I'll have to fix that. In the mean time you can just type 'tower' in the search box and uncheck everything but Structures. They come up under that.

Hey, that is correct. They are showing up if I do not check any of the size boxes haha Thanks for that :)

Can't change the settings of the Broker Corp setting in Application settings. It keeps reverting back to the default value. Did you forget a .save() somewhere? Big smile

Also, have you had any thoughts about the new industry changes and what it means for this program?

OK thanks, I'll take a look. I need to make a few small changes so I'll try to fix that later today.

I've had many thoughts! The biggest changes are to figure out how to capture the line cost and team efficiencies. There are also some APIs being discussed so maybe that will help. I'm not sure how to best do that yet but I need them to get the patch working on Sisi to figure it out.

Overall though I think the manufacturing list will be much more dynamic in terms of pricing and profits. Not sure what I'll do to help with that, if I'll need to.

From which API does IPH get the daily volume for an item?

Question, I want to use this with my Indy character but all my BPOs are stored in corp hangers, how can i show them as owned by me if they are not in my personal hanger? I also use a PoS to do my research copy and the such will that be taken into account.?

Maybe someone can help me out. I’m thinking about getting into T2 production and I’m trying to figure out how to bet set up IPH so I can try to get the best “apples to apples” comparison to basic T1 manufacturing.

I think I have it set up but I’m unsure if IPH is taking into account the cost of the decryptor. If so…does it spread the cost over the number of runs the BPC has?

Yes on the first question. On the second, I'm not sure what you need taken into account. The research times can be set under application settings.

Yes, that's correct. If you put in 13 runs, it will take the cost to invent one run of the item and multiply it by 13. If you invent a BPC with 10 runs, and enter 1 run, 1/10 of the invention cost is added to the total. The invention cost is the total of the number of runs you need to perform to get a success, assuming you run a large number of invention jobs. So it says 45% chance of success, then you would need to run 3 invention jobs to get a success, again assuming you did a large number of invention jobs.

When I installed unfortunately I can't seem to get any market data, it's always at 0 for me. This is happening on both my laptop and desktop.


EDIT: Never mind... I wasn't updating my prices...hahaha Oops

Thanks for the reply! How does it us that to generate the SVR? Since EMD's item history API doesn't give an average daily volume but rather the exact volume for a given date (for a max of 30 days) does IPH take the last 30 days daily volume and just generate an average? I ask because i'm trying to create a spreadsheet that shows the average daily volume for specific items in a specific region. I can do it as mentioned above but that takes up a whole lot of spreadsheet real-estate and runs it to google doc's 50 call limit real quick - making it of very limited utility.
