EVE Technology Lab

Cool, yeah most of those things have sprted themselves out with the next import.

Generally I purchase items with one character and contract to aother to sell, can this app cater for that and is there anything I need to do to help that along?

Also is there a way to remove or hide the term ISK from the fields with pricing, becuase there is no space it blends right in with the numbers?

Yeah I added my 3 toons, ill look for the combine data thing when I get home. Hopefully (and what I am looking for) is toon A buys an item for x price and contracts it to toon B who then puts that item up for sale. The application then tracks the purchase and sell price to determine profit.

Ill look more into it tonight but that is basically what I am needing.

excellent, Ill look to enable that tonight when I get home, I assume it is something I need to enable rather than it being enabled automatically.

Hm the crash is bad. Actually, I've not heard of any crash for months. Can you describe in steps what are you doing that causes this?

As for FPC - it's a feature which enables you to select an order on one of the order lists in Evernus and use a kb shortcut to automatically copy updated price to the clipboard and advance to the next order, regardless if Evernus has the input focus (which means you can do it from Eve itself without alt-tabbing). Prices still need to be pasted in Eve manually - no one likes market bots, after all.

Now, let's look at the dual character trading scenario. When you have all those options enabled, each time a buy order gets fulfilled for character A, a custom cost will be entered which is a weighted average of real item prices you bought. When character B sets those items in a sell order, the cost column in the order table will contain the costs computed from the fulfilled buy order along with margins stats and a ton of other info. That's how you'll know exactly hom much profit you make regardless of which character does the buying/selling.

Hm, that doesn't give much data. Would you mind using a version with some debug info? I can compile and send it to you tomorrow.

You won't have to uninstall anything but I'll send you the details tomorrow.

As for the shortcut, does the new price get copied into the clipboard and the order selection in evernus move down? If yes, everything works as expected. You have to manually paste the price in eve. If nothing happens, try a different shortcut. This has some limitations imposed by the system and not all shortcuts will work. For example, I use ctrl+f because it's close to ctrl+v. That way I am able to update my orders so fast, I hit a maximum number of updates per minute limit in eve (which I didn't know even existed).

is the margin tool slow for anyone else? elinor produces results immediately while evernus seems to take 5-6 seconds to do anything after i export from the market

The margin tool has two modes of operation on Windows. Fast one (like Elinor) called the alternative method and a slower one. Everything is adjustable in the preferences. The fast one should give you, well, faster results, but sometimes not all data manages to get parsed, especially for a lot of orders. Elinor in such situation crashes (that was one of the reasons I started evernus); evernus gives incomplete data. That's why I recommend using the slower method (which is tweakable), which gives good results.

Side note: 5s is indeed a lot. For me the slow method takes about a second. Take a look at the preferences.

Did you import the newest prices (from crest preferably) before copying?

Yeah understandable. At the same time, it'd be useful if we could store multiple settings for location, so say in the margin tool we could have a dropdown to select where we are and it would adjust taxes accordingly.
