EVE Asset Manager

EVE Asset Manager is a program that will help you manage your assets in the game EVE Online. It downloads your characters’ assets from the EVE API, then lets you view and search them. Please e-mail your suggestions, comments, and bug reports to wjrogers at gmail. Include “EVE” in the subject line to help me filter my mail. Thanks!

I have put a lot of my free time into this project and I would like to make it useful to as many people as possible. If you would like to help out in some way, please contact me to let me know what you think of the program. If you still want to help, I’m also happy to accept your donations of ISK. Please send them to Goncyn.

Downloads

EVE Asset Manager 1.6.3 (517 KB)
EVE Dominion 1.1.1 static data export (11,122 KB) (hosted on eve.no-ip.de)

If you need a program to decompress .bz2 files, try 7-zip.

How to Install

1. Install the .NET Framework 2.0, which you can get from Microsoft Downloads.
2. Extract EVE Asset Manager (download links above) to a folder somewhere on your computer.
3. Extract the EVE data dump to the same folder as in #2.
4. Run EVE Asset Manager and use the “Options > Manage Keys” menu item to enter your account ID(s) and full API key(s), which you can get from http://myeve.eve-online.com/api/.

You should now be able to click “Options > Refresh Assets” and get a list of all your assets. Use the search fields and the “Query” button to search. For further documentation, you can have a look at the FAQ.

How to Upgrade

To upgrade, simply download the latest EVE Asset Manager zip file above, then extract the new files, overwriting your old EVE Asset Manager files. After upgrading, please click “Options > Refresh Assets” to make sure any changes to the local cache format take effect.

If you are updating to a newer version of the EVE data dump, I recommend deleting the old one. That will make sure you aren’t still using the old one unknowingly. Check “Options > Options… > General > Data dump path” and verify it points to the new file.
