Thanks for this great wrapper. You've got some solid, intuitive code here.

I have a question about accessing character info, though. If I wanted to get basic character sheet info (for something like EveMon), it looks like the way I'd get the info for each character is to:



Just checking to see if this is right, or I'm missing something -- at first the thought of so many calls seemed odd, but it accesses cached info so it should be okay to make multiple calls, right?

Harleigh > I'll create a little app to show you how to do that.

dan Rotsuda > for your nullreference, you should use auth.CharacterID = **** if you have an API with all characters of the account.
To get the characters list, use : api.getApiKeyInfo()


Jerik Telorian > yes you have the good process.
You can use the same api object each time, just change the Auth data.

You have a cache for each function of the API and for each auth data.
So if you get CharacterSheet for api key id xxx and character id xxx you have a cache, and you have another one if you call the same api with a different key id or a different character ID.

I'll make a release with the modifications of Crucible 1.1 as soon as they release the static data.

Ok, for Harleigh and dan Rotsuda, try this little demo app : http://sparklin.org/eveai/demoEveAI.zip
It show you how to list the characters of an API key on a listbox, and how to list research & production jobs not completed on a listbox.

Look on the property of the listbox to know how I display which information.

You can use the ImageServer class of EveAI if you want to download the portrait.
Or you just use the URL : https://image.eveonline.com/Character/ID_size.jpg
For example https://image.eveonline.com/Character/1662056138_512.jpg

A first release with just the new static data (I will release another one later with the modifications on the API).

Awsome work Jognu!

If you got time for it sometimes, please could you implement overloads for the relevant Get functions to allow transactions, journal etc walking in basic mode too?

Example: GetCorporationWalletTransactions() method currently has two overloads: one without accepting account key as parameter, and one with it.

Two others would be:

+1) GetCorporationWalletTransactions(int accountKey, int rowCount)
+2) GetCorporationWalletTransactions(int accountKey, int rowCount, long fromTransactionID)

Would be cool. Till that i keep trying advanced mode.. .;]

thanks!

Hey Jognu,

Great work on keeping this project going! It's just awesome.

An issue I'm having trouble with however is that I'm after a list of current, unfinished, production jobs in a listbox, now I got the code working as I get a load of jobs listed. The thing is it's listing every single job I've ever done, except the ones that are currently running? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for the help ^_^

Hey there,

Ran into a bug with the wallet journal API. If you try and use the multipart query, it gets caught in an infinite loop.
The problem seems to be that ProcessXmlData() does not update FromID, so it keeps requesting the same data from the server over and over again.

Would you be able to fix this one and release a patch? I'd be happy to fix/test myself if you send me the source.

thx!

Edit: I'm using 2.3.0.0 BTW

dan Rotsuda > you can't get this info from the library.
But you could take the sql export from CCP and use the SQL request write by CCP Prisx X : https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=662032#post662032

With this you can easily find the skills needed for a ship !

Tairia Lor'than > I just saw that the fromID and rowCount doesn't work for walletTransaction. I fixed this in the last release.
For the moment you still need to use the advanced mode for this two options.

Hi Jognu,

Thanks. D/L v2.3.1 but still have the infinite loop. I was able to reproduce and fix it using reflector, BTW.

The problem is here in EveAPIBase:
while (this.MultiPartRequestQuery != null)
{
data = this.PerformWebRequest(ref error);
error = !this.UpdateDataInternal(data, ref document, true, false);
if (error)
{
break;
}
}

For the wallet journal, the MultiPartRequestQuery property is not returning null so the loop never exits. The way I got it to work is to do this in WalletJournalApi:

if ((num2 != 0) && ((this.FindDataEntry(num).DateLocalTime + EveApiBase.maximumMultiPartTime) >= DateTime.Now))
{
this.fromID = num;
}
else
{
this.fromID = -1;
this.RowCount = -1;
}

Note that both fromID and RowCount need to be set to -1 once we run out of nodes. This will allow the loop to exit.
