Also, learn to use feed / idfeed or atleast code an eve-kill specific part that allows for the usage of epic..



I tried feeding but that's didn't work. I tried with &pilotname option too.

http://eve-kill.net/?a=idfeed&pilot=256882741&allkills=1

"IDFeed: http://eve-kill.net/?a=idfeed&pilot=256882741&allkills=1
0 kills were posted and 0 were skipped."

The Problem occurred, because some Kill-Mails did contain empty fields for weapons and ships....there was no method to handle that....that problem was fixed.

The Kill Grabber should write the Mails now, there was no problem downloading your mails at my side.
Just download the Grabber with the link in the first post, and try again, please. =)

You dont have to enter any idfeed options, that was my part. =)
Only the URL to the Board, your name in the Filter and the Option "Pilot".

Nothing changed. I downloaded the Grabber from first post again, but that's contained the last unchanged files (date and size unchanged) what i used before , and the program still freezing when trying to write those raw killmails to disk.

I see....changed that a week before on 30., your post was from 4. =)

Well, i can save your mails without any problems and are using the same downloaded version as you do.
The only thing, that might could be, is, that your port "3306" to the MySQL database isn't open.

The Grabber is creating his database from my server at the first time you start the tool.
If that fails, and the Grabber tries to find information about the mails in the incomplete database afterwards, it will crash.

Do you have a directory named "data" in the Kill Grabber's Directory?
What files does "data" contain?
What is the size of them?

There should be two files.
data.db (about 1.372 kb)
update.lock

If there are no files, you should check your firewall configuration...


My second guess....
Does the Grabber maybe dont have permission to write in the directory, you want to save your kill mails to?
Is it crashing at the first mail, or somewhere between the saving process?
Try to save them to "C:\temp" for testing.

The two files is there.
data.db (about 1.404 kb)
update.lock (0 kb)

Its crashing at first mail. When i restarted the program, if the 1.txt (0 byte) contain there, creating and crashing at 2.txt (0 byte) etc.
I tried with adminsitration/compatibility mode too, but still freezing.

Compatiblity shouldn't be a problem.

The database file seems ok....and because the update.lock file is there, the creation of the database has been sucessfull.

I can't see the Problem, when the Program is just crashing.
I have now created a try-catch syntax over the main-process....so no matter "why" it is crashing, you should now see an Error Message with the reason.

Could you download the Grabber and try again?
http://killboards.de/downloads/kill_grabber.zip

If it is crashing, please post the error message.

With this new Grabber the freezing is gone, but got error message when trying to create km files "Input string was not in a correct format."

That error is shown, if a function is trying to convert a String, which has a value of "null".

The only line of code, that can produce this error, is the DateTime format function, that writes the kill time into the mail.
I'm pretty sure, that this is a regional problem, because of the differences between DateTime standards in german and english language, which means, that there is no Kill Time saved in the cache file or there is a problem while requesting it.
But im wondering, that this problem occurs on a portable database, which is made for such things. o.O

After you tried to save the mails, you should have a file called "cacheFile.db" now in "/cache/plt_Tiger's Spirit/" in the Grabber's main folder, no matter if the mails where saved or not.
In this File, the Kill Mail data is cached....how big is that file?

If the File is bigger than 0 KB, you can use this SQLite Browser (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/) to open the cache file and to check, if every line in the table "kills" contains a kill time.
If not....i will have to set up a virtual Machine to test the program in an english environment.
If everything seems okay, im out of proposals. Ugh

I tested to save your mails from different PCs now....has been always successful.
You are fetching the mails from eve-kill, right?

The cache file is 12Mbyte big. And yes i got them from eve-kill.net but not this character because this is my alt. I downloaded sqlitebrowser and checked the database. The dates is fine, but almost all from 3129 kills, not have killid number just 0, maybe that's the problem.

The row "killID" can be 0, that doesn't lead to an Error.
The row "killInternalID" is the one, which the program is checking.
As long these row doesnt contain any empty fields, there shouldn't be a problem.

I also got some responses from players in the USA now....they don't have any problems so far with the program, so it can't be a regional problem, which leads to your error.

Did you try the Grabber from another PC?

But the "killInternallID" is fine. Check the picture. I dont have any other PC, so i can't check it.

Soooo.....

I downloaded the Grabber from my own link to a totaly clean pc, unzipped it, downloaded the database and after that began to fetch your mails.
It fetched the mails without any problems and created them afterwards.

I reinstalled the PC with an english Windows - CD then....same result.
Tried it from my own PC after that....still worked.

Im sorry Tiger....but i cant see how i can help you with that problem....i just dont get it. Ugh
Do you add any unexpected Filters?
