Only if you don't shut down the uploader before patching. Every time the EVE client patches, it moves the old cache directory out of the way and creates a new one.

Also, if you run multiple clients off of multiple junction points, be sure to patch all junction points by starting up a client at least once on each junction point to get the client update for that junction.

Damn, damn, I knew this would happen. I'm gone for a few days, and people are cheering me on and requesting even MORE features :P

That said, I've been away for a while because I have been busy fixing my companies production server, which broke down for one reason or another, that I still haven't been told. All the while, the EMK server was running fine, which made me feel exceptionally stupid. I'd rather have you all angry than my clients, but **** happens I guess :P

As a side effect, both my new production server (at the same place where EMK is hosted) and the EMK server are now costing me about 10 dollars a month more, but also fully back upped every day.


I suddenly understand why EMD has this HUGE warning about this that pops up every time you open the uploader :)

Oh, and will log all feature requests, but probably not work on them for now, as I'm still firefighting


Ehrm, yeah, the custom list mechanism is quite old, and the interface has changed a bit, plus, I haven't added all the buttons I probably should've added.

To create a custom list, you first enter a group... now wait, I just checked, and I broke it completely when rewriting the uploader interface. I didn't even modify any part of it, but somehow it is broken now. It'll give me an opportunity to make it somewhat nicer that it is now.


I do not think it is possible to do any more than checking this for a region, but it will still be interesting. I had the power to do it for individual orders once (thus also enabling hub/system stats) but I've disabled recording every trade a long time ago. May start it again some time though (still have the function more or less built in).

Both on the order info on the site, and the info provided by the api, when i look at Sterile Conduits (id = 2875), i don't see any buy orders with a minimum quantity greater than 1.
There are at least 2 buy orders in in Jita 4-4 at the moment that don't show up (one with 200 and one with 1000 min. qty.)

Is it a bug or a feature?

thnx.

Some more things:

Since I cannot create my own upload group (yet) I thought to just click on the relevant items in history mode, start the uploader and have it upload them.

- It did not work, the item ID never appeared in the uploads.

- I went to check for the logs, I can find plenty of error dump logs but no log about the last upload (the stuff you see scrolling in the status tab. Is there a way to have it saved?

- I copy pasted the status window text and then searched for the item ID above but still nothing.


How do I force the uploader to upload history I have for sure? My own cache scraping script based on the same engine gets the updated history.

I could not use manual items, because of the issue I posted some days ago: once created the list I found no way to save it or make it execute.

But since I noticed the uploader sent stuff even with no game running (thus no in game browser open), I tried starting it alone with no game. It uploaded some things but not the items I wanted. They were surely in the cache because I clicked on yearly history in game on each of those items and my scraping script sees these cached items updated.

The new 0.6 version seems to run fine on my computer.

Callean, you know we have brainstormed the OHLC graph and export some time ago.

Now it's time to see the fruits.

I have posted a brief intro and tutorial about your web site. It shows how to prepare OHLC data good to be imported on a RL trading platform.

The article is: EvE Marketeer – powerful EvE trading oriented website

There is also a step by step tutorial on how to import the generated files into a standard RL trading platform (so you can physically see the results of your efforts): How to import EvE market data in a trading platform

Finally, there's an actual market analysis and trade example available here: EvE Online – Nitrogen Isotopes – 2012-01-18 – A very profitable trade

A 10B investment resulted in about 2.4B net profit.

This can also be done with my script (almost identical output) but your website makes it way much easier and quicker.

Cool addition, works like a charm.

Tried the steps above very carefully from rebooted computer, no upload starts, the numbers stays at 345 files read like this morning.
Switched between Market data and history tab, nothing happens.

It just says "Welcome to the new EVE Marketeer uploader" and that's it.

I clicked on an item I never clicked before and THEN that item got uploaded.

Then I started the IGB and loaded the upload page.
I selected the minerals, I have not played since before DT, so something HAS to have changed in the history (or not?).

But nope.

I then selected the market orders (only minerals), then pressed the IGB play button and this time it uploaded the stuff. Notice how it uploaded the orders with the "orders in past 24 hours" pane saying 100%.

It does not update the history despite the "History in past 7 days" is 91% (i.e. data is missing)

So, data is missing but not sent? I am sending 1 year of history.

This seems a plausible explanation. Making the history not cycle is not really a solution though, in my opinion. People will generally leave the uploader running when they aren't doing anything else, so stopping after one cycle wouldn't make much difference, and just annoy people whom would want to keep uploading all the time (though downtime would eventually kill that anyway, I admit).

Still, for others, it might be a good idea to just make a checkbox or separate start button that will start just one cycle of the uploads.


Yes! This has been in my mind for a long time, but for some reason I constantly forget or postpone doing it...


I like it, but it won't get you preferential support well, maybe a bit, since bad publicity is not the kind I really want :P
