Hi to the community.

Manual for the tool: https://eveposwatcher.codeplex.com/downloads/get/786975

The tool does not send information outside and I am posting this with my main char.

A tool useful for watching POS and their reactions by silo's. Written in C# and using SQLite as database.
The tool updates its information regularly though most information relies to the long api cache
which is 6h for assets and applies to silos. If you own hidden pos it might show them.
As its beta version it may contain bugs.

If you interested download and try: https://eveposwatcher.codeplex.com/downloads/get/786968

The software has an export function for the corp api key as encrypted plain text for copy and paste which is intended
to give user view rights even if they arent director.

Please post (most likely helpful) information here (or contact ingame).

Looks like a very useful too so far, i like that it is a stand alone application compared to the online applications that some of us are not good at using yet lol. Would be nice if the installer was in English though, I had to guess which button was I agree to the terms and conditions Lol

I can't get it to store the api key, I paste in the api key and id and then hit store api key and it does nothing. Just sits there, and when i restart the application it hasn't remember it at all.

I once podded myself by blowing a huge fart.

Thank you very much for being the first writing something.

Switched installer to english but shows still german maybe i need to install english visual studio.
A corpmate told me aswell that the Setting page isnt well done.
I changed it a little. For being able to see tower related stuff its not really necessary to have a char key input.
But if the user of leaves the corp he shouldnt be able to see corp stuff anymore. So i need 2 steps to register.


First enter the character name like ingame (regarding capitals) copy and paste the API id and vCode then click
Store char key which should display key valid and stored.

After that the corp name will be displayed in the grey box.

Second copy and paste the corp API in the next 2 fields and click Store corp key. The key isnt verified at this point
which will be changed in the future.


I hope this will fix the misunderstandings a little. The new version is up at the same location, just overwrite the old one.

Added a link for prebuild api, personal and corp. Added a page with personal assets related pos caus some dont use corp office for maintaining pos. Fixed a bug where an api error message was cached. If this insist to display you could press the Clear XML cache button on the Setting page.

I've added two different API's, tho one won't show.

ANd that's the one with most poses, and with poses in w-space.
I wonter what's causing this?

Thank you for the replys, i really hoped w-space would work. As me and my friends dont have pos there i wasnt able to test it. There are 2 possible reasons:
1. Your w-space holder has some special characters in the name, to verify that you could send me the linked name by ingame mail. Please attach a description what happens if you choose the w-space character.
2. W-space is different in the api. I need to find w-space and setup a small pos for testing. I will do that today or friday and report the result here if i am done.

You can ask for a more convenient interface to connect to the database with test connection

No special characters in the name so that's not the issue.

All the program tells me is "no current data"

The issues must be as you say the w-space api bit.

By the way, you could add verison numbers to your updates, so it will be easier to tell if the download link is to a new release.

If you got many assets you need to wait maybe 2 mins until then it displays nothing for the first time. But i setup a pos in w-space and here is what i get displayed: http://www.myimg.de/?img=WhFuelbd611.jpg
Also added the version number on the settings page and set it to 1.1.1. hope i can add an update checker later on.
Now there is a Test button next to the MySql connection string, didnt think that someone was already at the point to use the software with more ppl.
Please continue with this helpful posts, thank you.

I've waited for the program to get the pos values from my char's API now for over 10 hours, anothing has happened. I still can't see WH poses.

Im sure you have the new version which sais its version 1.1.1 on the settings page, could you press the clear cache button down left on the setting page which will close the program and you need to start it again. Just a stupid question, did you enter the corp key for the other character?

Gabba Cyno could you send me your ingame name by ingame mail caus there may be a difference with the visual studio character set and the one used by eve.
Malkuth Shahul is it possible to contact me ingame, i really want to know whats so special with your w-space setup?
This toon is more or less frequent online.

(Beta) Version 1.1.2 is downloadable now. Changes are the following:

- Changed the startmenu group to EVE, didnt recognize fast enough that the old group was stupid:)
- Removed an unnessesary data loop (and cpu usage) while refreshing the display every 10 mins.
- Added an option for debug purposes only next to the Clear cahe button.
- Fixed 2 internal bugs of which i am not sure if they could be seen in the data displayed.

If you get the message while installing that it cant be started from this location, deinstall it first from control panel/software.
