EVE Markets Uploader
The EVE Markets Uploader allows you to contribute to EVE Markets and the wider EVE community by uploading market data from EVE to both EVE-Central and EVE-MarketData, sites that EVE Markets uses as data sources.
All you need to do is have the uploader running while you play EVE - and every time you view market data, that same data will be shared across the EVE community and help to keep EVE Markets up to date.
You'll need a Java 6 runtime environment installed (available from Oracle). The uploader supports Linux and Windows (with Mac support to come). Source code is also available below.
Note that the uploader is currently in a beta, testing phase. Please report any bugs to bugs@eve-markets.net.
Instructions
- Download the appropriate distribution (above) and extract the archive to a location of your choice.
- Windows: run the MarketUploader.exe file. Linux: run MarketUploader-gui.sh.
- Configure the uploader:
- Click "Settings" and, on the General tab, select the location of the cache folder.
- On Windows, this is usually c:\users\yourname\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility\cache\MachoNet\87.237.38.200\2xx\CachedMethodCalls or C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Local Settings\Application Data\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility\cache\MachoNet\87.237.38.200\2xx\CachedMethodCalls
- Under Wine on Linux this is usually /home/yourname/.wine/drive_c/users/yourname/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE/c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility/cache/MachoNet/87.237.38.200/2xx/CachedMethodCalls
- If you have multiple 2xx directories, pick whichever has the highest number - this increases with every patch
- EVE Central: There is currently no option to register for uploading to this site, so leave the user ID as 0.
- EVE-MarketData: To optain an upload key visit http://eve-marketdata.com/downloads.php using the in-game browser.
- Click OK to save settings, then click Scan & Upload to start running the uploader.
- Enjoy the universe of EVE! Market data will automatically be uploaded when you view prices in game.
If you wish to upload data in bulk, then the EVE-MarketData Market Scanner will automatically scan through the market.
