You can add as a “Order feature” the AWESOME possibility to highlight finished orders. This is critical to control massive trading, allowing you to know immediately what are the items to re-buy to be able to refill your order.
This is for me THE feature of your excellent software for managing large scale trade with close to Zero effort.
This is especially awesome because this soft enable you to highlight, if wanted, only the orders that have finished since the last update of the API data.
I’m going to add “Order history” feature in 1.1 version.
It shows you finished orders and allows to filter them by time range.
No suggestions, just some thanks: youre the MAN!!
Hey your tool is AWSOME but it would be even better if the self costs would be added automatically with fulfilled buy-orders. Thank you Thart
“Order history” feature in 1.1 version.
It shows you finished orders and allows to filter them by time range.
could use an option, “last Import”
works fine though if you update your orders every 1 hour, but becomes confusing when trying to do it serveral times per day.
auto delete old files should delete these old completed orders ?
I cannot see were can I see the Corp journal and/or transactions
Samo for contracts
I’ve checked the new IP settings, and I’ve added the Corp API to my char…
@AntonioMCH
I meant “API settings” not “IP settings”
I’ll create new feature which should help with this issue.
Because I didn’t like to input all my selfcost manually, I wrote a small python script to accomplish that task.
Note that your file must look like this:
TYPEID SELFCOST\n
Note that you can choose your own delimiter. Also duplicate items will lead to errors, but maybe it still helps you.
#!/usr/bin/env
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
#
# Adding Self Cost to SQLITE DB
#
import sqlite3
PATH_TO_DYNAMIC_DATABASE = r’/path/to/EVEMentat.dynamic.database’
PRICE_DELIM = “\t” # Enter your delimiter here
SELFCOST_FILENAME = ‘selfcosts.txt’
conn = sqlite3.connect(PATH_TO_DYNAMIC_DATABASE)
cur = conn.cursor()
self_file = open(SELFCOST_FILENAME, ‘r’)
count = 0
for line in self_file:
count += 1
if count == 1:
continue
data = line.split(PRICE_DELIM)
data[4] = int(data[4].replace(“,”,”").replace(“.”,”"))
data[1] = int(data[1])
query = “INSERT INTO mentatSelfCosts VALUES (%s,%s,’Manual’,”)” % (data[1], data[4])
cur.execute(query)
conn.commit()
cur.close()
Maybe i’m overlooking this. Is it possible to see in Mentat when looking at an item in market browser how many of that item is being sold per day in that region?
Awesome tools, thanks!
Is there, or could there be, a way to add a fixed ‘import cost’ based on the m3 of an item, that is separate from the ‘self cost’? This would be handy for 0.0 importers that use JF services with a fixed ISK/m3 price to get goods into their 0.0 marketplace.
Currently EVE Mentat doesn’t support market history.
I think it can be implemented as a separate feature which calculates volume of item set and then calculates delivery cost.
Added task to the database.
Another idea for a feature could be, instead of tallying up the income and outgoes as a graph, have the program try to find the assotiated buy/sell orders, and graph the net income/losses between the spans (i.e. I buy item A, price 10m/sell for 15 -> graph finds 5m income). that would be nice for traders in general I think. Otherwise, great program, love it!
@Casshara
Planned.
I’d like to use the wallet graph feature for my corporation’s wallet, but I can’t seem to find a way to do this. Is it possible?
@Deterro
Planned for 2.0.
@Thart
Thanks for the reply – could you also give me an ETA for v2.0? (Roughly)
@Deterro
Unfortunately, no.
feature request:
i do station trading only, it would be awesome to select all buy orders and click “set cost price” to adjust self cost so i can see correct profits, and it would be totally nice to include taxes in the profit calculations.
@capdude
Thanks, I’ve added your request into my database.
@capdude
Adding onto this, an option automatically update cost price as buy order price is changed would be good.
