[RELEASE] Slopey's BPC Market Tool! - New version!

I just tried importing from .csv, ~20 items gave me a pop-up "Commodity not found" even tho the .csv file is a carbon copy of what's displayed ingame.

Did anyone have this issue?

Le bump. Tried two more stations and same commodities pop up as missing when importing .csv. Again checked if the .csv was properly recorded and it is 100% accurate. Does anyone have any insight to offer?

That's irrelevant. What needs to be in there is the system name at the start of each CSV line. The BPC will inform you if that's not the case in the next update.

crashed during parsing, 82%. reinstalled and crashed as soon as I started it.



Bit more verbose please - where's it crashing, during parsing? If so, the next update addresses that.

Did you read my post 3 posts up?

Hi All,

If the BPC is crashing when you first start it, once it starts "Parsing", then UNTICK auto-update and leave it. Once it has finished parsing, you can tick Auto-Update again and it'll be fine.

The issue is the initial download is really quite large now (i'm going to cull it back a bit), and the updates are overlapping. I've fixed this in the next version which should be out later today.

Cheers,
S.
 
Great tool, thanks

A question about offline mode

Mine is not remembering the data I used on a previous days trading, am I doing something wrong?

I was just about to make this exact post :) (this may be in the localmode fixs sloppy is working on)

[localmode]
all data from yday is now gone i had 2 systems and 4 stations now i have a clean db with just the default systems in the systems tab list but with no data for them.
default systems (Azaban City/Beagle 2 Landing/Chango Dock/Dahan Gateway/Freeport)
 
Great tool, thanks

Mat rix - I had the same issue - it did not appear to be storing or showing previous data - I went to Commodity Data tab and clicked Refresh - it then replaced the 5 default stations in the drop down lists with my stations from where I started.

I hope this helps.

Was just going to edit my post with this extra data (i didn't click refresh tho) clicking ANY in [System Data Tab] populates the list with the data but its still not select-able from the drop-downs

[Edit] Clicking ANY then Refresh does put them back in as selectable in the drop-down (This should now be enough info for Sloppy to find this bug)

This such a useful tool, thanks a lot Slopey!
So what do I enter if I want to manually update that a station is currently not selling an item (signified by -)?
The updater only allows for numbers. I input 0 once but realized that might skew the results.

Also, what to do if an item is not listed at all at a station but is listed in BPC (and should be removed)?
In my case it's at Qa'Wakana (Everest and Harper stations) that don't list Gallium. BPC erroneously listed them at a good price.

Great work!

Hi Slopey, love the tool it's the only way I ever make any money!!
What is the source for the distances between systems, I know this isn't input by users and was wondering where it came from so I could see if I could contribute to those that are missing, it has an obvious impact on finding routes (for instance there didn't seem to be any distances for systems around the founders world) and having those values would be the only thing that would improve the usefulness of your tool.

This is the latest error, ED was running

If you look in your AppData folder, you should see a Slopey BPC directory in there - please delete the contents of that folder and then launch the BPC again.

FD provided them during Gamma. There is a project to crowdsource the rest, but there were several regens of the universe between then and launch - I don't know if they're still going with it.
 
Any way to get the location to stop showing as "unknown" ? It's really annoying that I can't use the location to see distances to certain commodities.
