Lliandra	Posted - 2004.07.15 10:45:00 - [1] Edited by: Lliandra on 16/07/2004 23:23:36 Well, not actually EVE itself (off course) but I did manage to set up a nice application which will let you read the EVE News on your mobile phone. to download it, use your phones WAP-browser to download it. Here's the link: http://evecentral.ractoc.com/EVENews.jad I can't guarantee it will work on all phones, but here's a few pointers with which you can see if it would work on yours: your phone has to be able to use Java applications Samsung phone prior to the Samsung c100 will not be able to use it, even though they do support Java If your phone confirms to both pointers above, I see no reason it whouldn't work. Try it and let me know what you think of it. If this catches on, I might be able to set up other features as well. (other EVE-related news stream or maybe even completely different applications with a little help from CCP) Lliandra aka. Ractoc Site Admin for EVE-Central

Lliandra	Posted - 2004.07.16 06:43:00 - [5] The connection to the web is made / maintained by the operating system, all my aplication does is ask the operating system to setup the connection. when you use GPRS, this is not a problem, since you onoly pay for the actual data being transfered, when you use a dail in connection, you can manually end it by pressing the same button you use when you hang up a conventional phonecall (usually the red phone symbol) Lliandra aka.

Lliandra	Posted - 2004.07.16 14:14:00 - [7] Hhmmzz.. looks like they added an XML feed with your characters skill list.... This is great news, since this means I can added that into the application as well. All you'd have to do is enter your char name and ID code, and I will be able to fetch your skill data... Then you would be able to check your skill training anywhere, anytime... Nice for when you're visiting your parents/in-laws... Quote: I'm sorry, I have to go home now, my skill training is almost complete give me till monday, and I should have a working version. Would you like to have it in the smae application (this would mean a re-install) or as a seperate one? Lliandra aka. Ractoc Site Admin for EVE-Central

Lliandra	Posted - 2004.07.16 15:01:00 - [9] hehehe you should see the collection I got in my desk drawer at work...

Lliandra	Posted - 2004.07.16 23:22:00 - [11] Ok, I've been playing around some with the new skill list XML document... there's only one MAJOR problem with that new feature... you can only acces your own XML document, and then only after you sign in... Now where's the logic in that? I can understand they want some security so person A can't access the skillist of person B. But this totally screws up my plans for building an application so people can view their skills list on their mobile phone. as I for one would think this a great application, I would like to ask the devs if there could be some way we could acces those Skill XML documents in a way that would make more sense.

Default this would be Off. it's an easy flip ... just let me know what you think of it ... all of you Hhmmzz.. if this option would be put in place, my phone skills app would be a definate posibility. All that would be needed would be one extra screen explaining people what they need to do to make it work. Well, you got my vote on putting in that option, mainly because requesting the skill list would still be done via the character ID which is a very BIG number, so hard to guess someones ID off hand anyways. in case of a "public"character sheet however, I would like to see the actual data which connects the character sheet to the character (mostly the character name) is removed. Since you are the one actually requesting the sheet, you should know who it belongs to before requesting it. This would take out the brute force attaks people could setup to gain a list of character sheet from other people. Lliandra aka. Ractoc Site Admin for EVE-Central

Lliandra	Posted - 2004.07.17 08:56:00 - [15] Originally by: Joshua Calvert Hi. The problem with making the XML sheet public is that it also reveals your alt character names. I don't mind sharing my skills but some people may find shgring their alts a bit too much That should be easy to fix, just restrict the XML to the char belonging to the ID provided. Which seems only logical to me, since that's the character you requsted the info of... Lliandra aka. Ractoc Site Admin for EVE-Central

Lliandra	Posted - 2004.07.17 19:27:00 - [17] I guess we'll just have towait and see if they actually do put it the ability to make your skill list public. Lliandra aka. Ractoc Site Admin for EVE-Central
