How it works!  

This site was created for use with NRF Version 1.2.6.1. It will read an XML file generated by NRF, and if it finds 100 or more new and valid claims in your file, it will add those records to the database.  Then it will dump all of the records to a CSV file and expose a link so you can download it immediately.  CSV is the supported inport format, so you can load all the claims back into your NRF.

If errors are found in the format or schema of your XML file, or problems are found with individual records such that less than 100 records are valid, you will not get the link to the file and none of your uploaded data will be added to the database.  The site will also report in table format the problems that were encountered with the file or records.

Creating and maintaining this site is something I've done as a sub-hobby, to my EU hobby (that I barely have any time for in the first place) so I cannot offer 24 hour customer service if you have problems.  However, I have gotten a lot from the EU community and want this to be something that gives back a little.  If you have troubles, PM me in EF (blubalou) or you can even email me directly: blubalou@entropiaminers.com If you get an error message you want help with, send a screen shot!

For a record to be valid it must have:

  • X, Y, and Depth as integers greater than 0
  • Valid Continent or Bio Dome as text
  • Valid Claim Type as text
  • Valid Size as integer (1 - 27)
  • Valid Claim Date in in 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' format
  • The date must be greater than 2007-01-01 (this calendar year)
