Just copying what I read elsewhere, but I figured that there are plenty of folks in Agony to whom this will be welcome news.

As read at: http://www.eveonline...=1007760&page=6

As previously stated, I have purchased the original Excel Builder from Sentry Skills, here are the EVEmails to back that up: http://img21.imagesh...p?g=sentry1.png

Since Sentry has abandoned this project, I feel that it is in the best interest to the EVE community at large to release this product into open source. I certainly have as much "right" to post it as some other guy falsely claiming that the original Sentry gave the project to him.

Be that as it may, here are the unlocked files.

This is the original, unedited version, with just the worksheet unlocked, no further changes have been made. This is in Excel 2003 format.

This is a Excel 2007 file, with the auto-update feature removed, but the other connection and macros left in.

To answer the question of the previous poster. The price file is a simple text file that follows the format of the Market & Online prices layout, including the line spacing of column F, starting with row 4. All you need to do to pull in your own data is to update the query in the Prices sheet to whatever the source for your prices will be.

If anyone is willing to work on this as an open source project, rather than creating mad profits for a single individual, let me know, I'll be glad to assist by putting in time and hosting resources.


Cheers!
