EVE Technology Lab

I can appreciate that these beta versions don't have an installer so there may be some apprehension as to how this affects things.

First of all, back up your old settings. These beta versions look at the same user folder as the previous versions so best to keep these safe just in case. The easiest way to do this is to type %AppData%/EveHQ into the address bar of Windows Explorer and copy all the files in there to somewhere where you can get at them easy if something goes wrong.

I don't believe it really matters where you extract the files to. If you want to keep the older version files, then you can extract these new files to a separate folder such as like Documents/EveHQBeta. Otherwise, you can overwrite your existing EveHQ files that are in the Program Files folder.

Personally, I'm using the beta in it's own folder for now until I can figure out a new auto-upgrade routine. Future beta versions can be unzipped to the same location which will continue to use the same settings files in the AppData folder mentioned above.

Just to reiterate a crucial point as mentioned in the OP, if you get any “Module Errors” while running this beta, this is being caused by Windows security preventing access to the files because they have been downloaded from the web. To fix this, right-click the .dll files causing the problems, select Properties, then click the Unblock button. Everything should run as normal after that.

Hope that answers your question but let me know if you're still unsure about anything and I'd be happy to help.


Edit: Ah well, hope this is useful info for others

If anyone has any ideas on how to update EveHQ and store settings for remote/mobile use, please feel free to make comments on the website.

I know it's another website to register with but with the disappearance of the old one, I'd like to try and build a community around this and upcoming versions. Not only does this provide some benefits to open-source developers (like me ), but also provides a central location for all EveHQ information and help.

Thanks!

any chance you can add a module editor to the fitting tool? like the ship editor

IIRC the reason the original guy didn't do it was something to do with the legacy code and how it kept crashing the build. I forget as it was a while ago when i last saw it.

Just uploaded a revised version which fixes the import of blueprint details in the blueprint manager for corporations.

Thank-you Drailen for picking this up and running with it. I just came across this thread looking to see if EveHQ was still dying a slow and painful death. I know many guys who will be ecstatic with this news.

Thanks Again!!!

Amazing work, soooooo much appreciated!!!! Can you post a link for donations - want to at least keep you in beer money. :)

Great job on everything you've been doing. I can't wait until the asset viewer is back up. Keep up the good work!

I have just uploaded an installer version of the EveHQ Oceanus update onto the BitBucket download site.

This should correct the auto-update and messaging locations so that users will be notified of future versions automatically.

There is also a corresponding zip file for those that still prefer that method.

Enjoy!
