EVE Technology Lab

First of all let me congratulate you on the great tool you have created.!

Recently returned to eve and this tool is way better is most things than mentat that i used before.


There is only one problem that is killing me... Please let me easily compare prices between 2 stations in different regions...... This was super simple with mentat and using Crest should be even easier. Except one cant :P

Id even open 2 evernus so i could have prices loaded and easily look up both stations but i cant unless im running a virtual machine and my crappy laptop can barely keep up eve and a few chrome tabs open....

Been trying to see if i spot you online for a few days to bug you with this but i just dont seem to be online when you are.


Either way thanks for the great app and keep up the awsome work!

I like this tool a lot, but I have a couple requests for the margin tool.

Since it's based on elinor, I expected it to function as quickly as elinor does....but it doesn't. It takes a solid 1-2 seconds after an export to read the prices...and on a scale of 600 market orders, thats a significant time waiting.

Also, please make it so it auto-copies the new price when the "Sell price" and "Buy price" radio buttons are pushed. In elinor, I like exporting once, pasting sell order, clicking on radio button for "Buy order", and pasting the buy order. The problem with yours right now is I have to export again (again waiting 1-2 seconds) to re-copy the buy order.

Lastly, it would be awesome if you could add a comparison number in to the margin tool. I trade in a different tradehub, so it'd be great to see how the price that I just exported compares to Jita (this can be done through crest, eve-central, etc) so I can tell if its a crazy stupid markup or a decent one.


Great tool though, these are my only negatives of the tool

Ah, ok. I'll try to use the alternative import functionality. Whats the technical differences?


Also, I can't seem to figure out how that alternative price source in the margin tool functions. Where does it show the price from that alternative source AND the price that is exported? Every time I try to use it, the sell price stays the same and buy price goes to 0.01.

Ok, so it sounds to me like my problem is that I have no "saved price", which causes the buy price to go to 0.01. How do I save a price of a different trade hub?

For example, say I'm trading in dodixie and I go to sell an Abaddon. I click "Export" on the Abaddon and I have the sell price, but I want to see what it would go for in Jita but I don't have a Jita alt. I've tried importing the prices in the "Market Analysis" section, but that doesn't seem to work and still only shows "0.01" as buy order. I've also tried from "Market Browser", but it only seems to import from my current trade hub (i might be missing a button to change this)

Examples:

3. http://i.imgur.com/ukkE6Sy.png - Market analysis line (trust me, it was imported from The Forge)

Hmm, ok, i got that now (after waiting a loooong time for it all to save). But now I see a different problem, since the Jita price populates the "Buy" field, I can't properly update my orders with a valid non-Jita, local buy order number. So yeah, it works great with sell orders, but not well with buy orders

Hey Pete, thanks for this software. Seems to be going the right way and actually has the best support ever seen 
I’m encountering a problem while importing cache market data. Whenever I browse the market and then try to import, I get 0 data. Seems either logs can not be found or are not saved at all.
Have seen in Eve Mentat website people were talking about a change in last Eve patch which doesn’t allow anymore to read the market cache log.
Is the problem related / solvable?
Thank you. Cheers.

Hi Pete. Under Market Browser there is a "import prices from cache" button. Currently not working for me (seem no data gets imported).

I've been then using an outdated version (probably a mislink). Not lucky because that was a great feature.
Any suggestion on how to update market prices other than manually export to file? Website data is usually working only for major hubs, not reliable with minor hubs or lonely stations.

Ok. Found what the problem was. I actually thought "web import" was from Eve-Central or Eve-Market-Data, not from CREST. Also seemed bugged because was only importing from two regions, not where I had all of my orders.
Found out that actually, I had like 70% of my orders in my private corporation, thus they did not get updated. Fixed it, and seems working greatly!

Yes, you can do it using the advanced statistics tab. You can use simple aggregation and group by type, or you can write a script which does that manually.
