What is the toolkit?
The data export/toolkit is means for the community, on top of the API to create 3rd party tools and/or websites.
This toolkit includes the following items:
Data:
- Map information such as solarsystems, constellations, regions
- jump connections, stargates, orbital bodies
- types, groups and categories for everything in-game
- manufacture and refine information for every said types
- and much more
- All in-game types, including blueprints
- Alliance and NPC corporation logos
Data exports are in the form of MSSQL database backups (.BAK), which third party developers can restore on their machines and extract the data into whatever form their application uses. If you do not have any available methods of working on MSSQL databases then try SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, as it has the nifty pro of being free.
You can see some of our community websites in action that have benefited from this toolkit tremendously.
You can also join the irc channel '#eve-dev' on irc network 'coldfront' (irc.coldfront.net), note that this channel is not an official CCP channel, but a community driven channel helping out anyone with challenging technical questions regarding the toolkit and EVE in general.
