Good evening,
As a small christmas surprise (unless you have been in the 'OS X' channel), I am announcing my project to get something like EVEMon written for the Mac OS. This is just an alpha release, and skill planning is _not_ currently available (But I am working on it), but I wanted to be able to show something for christmas.
It's just a beginning unfortunatly, but I am working on it and it goes forward quite well.

Binary > http://ceres.doesntexist.org/bin/
Source > http://ceres.doesntexist.org/src/
You can add API-Keys from the debug menu, but somehow copy/paste got messed up, so you have to right click and select paste. But if anything is unclear, just ask.
It probably only works on Leopard unfortunatly, since it is written in Obj-C 2.0, and requires the garbage collector.
Ps. It does "Phone home" to download the datadump, it is downloading 2 files, http://ceres.doesntexist.org/xml/Clones.xml and http://ceres.doesntexist.org/xml/Skills.xml. But I don't keep any statistics or anything, so if you try it please leave a message here with some ideas or thoughts, maybe ask for some feature to be implemented.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Wonderful, I didn't know you used a Mac either Srg Hedge.
And I thanks Phronesiis, I'll start adding some more features and fixing some bugs soon.
Known bugs.
If you don't have an internet connection, the server status lists as 0 people.
If you put your computer to sleep, updates stop.
You can't paste in the API-menu thingy.

Thanks,
I'll try to have a new release up for grabs sometime soon. A lot of stuff to be done around now unfortunately.
I have some more stuff working, including skill rank, attributes. Next thing will be to list what skills a character has. And count the amount of SP it has.
Ps. I want a proper portrait...

Despite being on Tiger, and having tested the binary to the effect of crash, I'm pleased with this development, and when snowleopard hits, I'll be glad to stop training random skills. Parallels got to be too fat for my HDD, and a native option is always better.

Aurora, looks great!
I've been using a Mac for years, but I ended up getting a PC just to play EVE before they released the Mac version. I'll be so happy to get rid of my PC dependency completely once this is a full release.
Let me know if you need help, etc... I'm a programmer myself and will definitely be using it, poking around and look forward to updates!
Once again, awesome work!

What I would do is create a BootCamp partition and use VMWare Fusion. Fusion can actually boot your BootCamp partition as if it were a virtual machine, so you won't have the same space creep issues as the limit is set - plus you can reboot and use Premium once in a while when your desire for teh shiney overwhelms. :)

Sweet, can I have your mac after this is released then? I mean you won't be using it. Unless you don't mean personal computer when you say PC? But what would you mean when you say PC then? ... Politically correct?

I'll be home tomorrow, so I'll fix it then. Will publish a small update so it understands a new XML format too.
Mainly so I can export data directly from Sequel Pro and not have to write lots of sed.
(Ps. Maybe I shouldn't have payed my ISP, it tends to suck... but it's cheap and fast at least.)

A little later than expected, but both the hosting and a new version is ready.
The only feature that shows is that it now takes at least 3 minutes on first startup (It will look like it has crashed / is unresponsive), that is due to it now recreates a large part of the datadump on your computer. That shouldn't be so slow in a real database, but since I am using the XML Core Data backend... well... it get's really slow.
I'll probably change to the SQLite backend when all the data is in place and working.
Binary > http://ceres.doesntexist.org/bin/
Source > http://ceres.doesntexist.org/src/
It downloads some additional xml, you can check the xml directory on the server to find what it downloads. You can also find the SQL that generated the xml files there.

Thanks for all the support, and well... there will be a 0.0.3 soon. I just have to fix a small bug and I'll be done.

It will fix the interface up a bit, and place some foundation for making the interface suck less. |

A new version is available (0.0.3) and it should be a lot snappier(tm).
Also features larger portraits and Cmd-C works!
(Code is a bit ugly in the loading classes, sorry.)
http://Ceres.doesntexist.org/bin as usual!
Ps. If someone adds a character too much or it just fails to load the data for one reason or another remove "~/Library/Application Support/Ceres/Ceres 0.0.3.sqlite3".

Working for me here, even through the system-wide proxy.
Would be nice to be able to deselect the spare slot toons.

Yes, that is on my todo-list for the next version actually. I find it kind of annoying too.

YANW! (Yet another new version)
Good!
1. Almost a brand new interface.
2. You can remove characters that pollute the new goodness (Right click is a good tip).
Bad!
1. The new interface looks almost as bad as the old one.
2. I haven't really tested this to my usual standards. |

If you need any graphic design work done for this project, iconography, etc., I would be glad to help out. I'm a seasoned graphic designer with experience in UI design. Anything I can do to help the project along.

That would really be lovely, icon design isn't something I have ever done. And any input/help on the interface would really be awesome.
So if you want to help, you're more than welcome (and everyone else too.) Join osx-dev in game and maybe we can chat about some ideas.

Ceres 0.0.5!
Changelog:
1. Fixed the new Character View (Only opens one instance, doesn't leak memory anymore...)
2. Proper sorting of added Characters.
Some other stuff that you won't notice unless you check the source. |
