EVE Technology Lab

Introduction
I have ported an ancient, useful EvE® Online application to the new API specifications.

The application is called EvE Income Analyzer, it has been created by Carbon Freezer several years ago and published as Sourceforge project.
The software is mostly useful to traders, it provides a number of eye catching graphs showing your profitability, your orders, your best sold items, the most profitable stations, the best hours of the day to sell and so on.

I have ported it to Visual Studio 2010 and made a number of modifications so that it would run with the new API format and keys.

Due to my ever pressing time constraints I am not going to be able and polish it. It works and it’s delivered as-is. If I get bug reports I’ll try and fix them but please don’t ask for expansions or whatever. Instructions about how to use the software are available at the bottom of the Sourgeforge page linked above.

I have created a specific page for EvE Income Analyzer Crucible Edition on my website, Vahrokh.com.

I felt it was better to just host the whole available documentation, screenshots and downloads over there instead of torturing you and myself with this forum lack of features.

Though I will reply to questions and feedback on this thread, not on my website.


Purpose
The purpose of this program is to help the user analyze his market transactions on eve-online. It helps the user by providing various views on the data to optimize his sales and manufacturing business. The tool can also work in offline mode without being connected to the server. Multiple characters can be administrated.

It uses the eve-api to extract all the necesary data. Once data is collected from the central server it is stored locally on the computer so even data older than the time window that is provided by eve can be analyzed once it is downloaded.


Features

• Automatically extracts character information from the account.
• Can administer all characters used in the game.
• The analysis time can be set over different time frames.
• Will provide several views on the data in upcoming future.
• Automatically checks for Web-Updates.

FAQ
Q) Is it free?
A) Yes, totally.

Q) You did not change the original about / whatever
A) I don't care. I am after functionality and have no time for frills, sorry.

Q) May you add [Insert here exotic functionality]
A) Probably not. My time is absurdly limited.

Q) The program crashes with a .Net error.
A) Please paste the whole blurb and make sure you have .Net installed to begin with.

Q) Does this run on Mono?
A) I have no idea but I think it does not, unless somebody ported MS Flex Grid and other things.

Q) It shows a certificate expired popup
A) In one year since the last update it will. It's normal, just ignore it.

Q) I posted a question and my 20MB log dump on your website but I got no reply.
A) As I said above I'll only reply in this thread and will probably delete the ugly log dump from my website.

Can I only add ONE api key to it?

DL Link seems to be broken. I get the following error:

"The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.vahrokh.com/vahrokh/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=2

HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request."

Winning! Downloading now. TYVM for your work.

I try using VS2010 as little as possible, because its bugs turn me nuts.
One of those is a know bug they promised to fix with SP1 that affects projects that fail to build due to false missing certificates.
After wasting about 1 afternoon I found a way to kick the donkey enough to make it compile, I don't want to risk breaking something "internal" again.

Yes, just used it a couple of days ago.

Anti-lock bump

Also, it dawned upon me that I did not even bother to write what the program is about , so I added a couple of descriptions.

I am quite sure the source code was there, where else I'd have got it otherwise?

Hi there,

somewhere around the Inferno 1.3 release Eve Income Analyzer stopped working for me. No matter which privileges I set for an API key, the tool always reports that I still have to provide a userID or a keyID for authentication. Of course, everything worked flawlessly before, I didn't change anything that I'm aware of. Here's a screenshot of the error message.

I'd gladly accept any help you can provide.

I just updated the application for the newest API changes.

Please check if it's working again, I could only try on one of my characters.
