slopy we need return trip button.....palease pretty please?
[RELEASE] Slopey's BPC Market Tool! - New version!
- Thread starter Slopey
- Start date
Aah! Well in that case I'll put up with the initial delay if it's busy and not just bogged down.
I'd like the older data to persist if poss.
Prices may vary but source info should still be valid.
I did. Doublechecked it in fact. No big deal though, I'm over it.
wouldn't bother (2x £10 donations so far) not even a acknowledgment or a thank you back just total ignorance. wont be donating again his charity's loss not mine (I regulary donate to charity's)
Adding distance data?
Slopey,
Thanks for making a great tool.
Regarding distance data.
Noticed that I didn't get any results when I was in 'Shinrarta Dezhra' and had 'Within Distance' selected. Checked table system in the db and there was no data for the system.
How can I add missing system data? I tried to just add it to the table and started BPC again but that seems to do nothing. I see no other data for calculating distance in the db.

Hi
I use BPC in combination with EliteOCR (like the most people I think).
So my "Last Updt From" is always up do date, but I have not find a way to filter for it.
There is a "today" filter, but this still gives me data from "11:30", "11:56", "12:23", ... ,"22:03", ...
And all this old data is useless because I added the newest data to the tool.
Its also useless to see in the "Last Updt To" at "22:40" data from "09:21".
It would be nice if we could filter for the last 5, 15, 30, ... minutes, or 1, 2, 3, ... hours.
Is it planed to release BPC under a open source license (maybe only the client)?
This would give us the possibility to create patches (new features, bug fixes, whatever, ...) and send them to Slopey.
Slopey can still decide if he adds them or not.
I'm not the best programmer, but I think a filter should be possible for me

It was a bit of a blow to see several systems missing that were there before, I manually added them again, like others have suggested, out of date data stays relevant for weeks in my experience, maybe add a check which applies a filter to show/hide out of date data, only removing it after a month, or use two sources and warn that using out of date data will take much longer
Edit also only the last prices really need to be shown for those who care about how much data is shown

Shinrata doesn't have published coordinates from FD, hence it isn't available for a distance search. There's no way to update them currently but I may add something in to a future version. I've heard anecdotal comments that the EDSC data is incorrect for many systems, so I've avoided it for now, but if it's accurate, I'll thing about supporting it sooner rather than later. Before that however, I want to get in outpost landing pad sizes, and distances to stations from the jump point.
Great tool indeed, helped a lot improving my profits although I got some nice trade routes before. Especially helped finding special goods. Anyway, with the "return trip" button gone it kinda lost its purpose. I guess this needs to be back asap Slopey. Thanks for great work!

I'll have more data management features in "soon", so you can tidy your data on the fly.

I only just picked up your PM today NoTones - no need to be rude. As a rule, I don't acknoweldge all the donations via paypal, aside from a few which I did to confirm they were correct. And anyway - you've told me they may not have even come through?!! How can I respond to something I've possibly not received correctly?
All donations are grateful received, and I've said so on many occasions, but I've not had any other people requesting I thank them personally every time.

Is there any chance of this working acceptably again? I reinstalled last night and after 3 hours, the tool was only up to 300 systems known. I can't use it if it will take a month to populate the data.
Some serious problem with the network code, it seems.
It has nothing to do with network code. It's actually due to the speed at which SQLite processes a Delete command. I've worked around that now and can parse 72,000 entries in 43 seconds, which is the size of a nomal 48 hour duration update. I'm going to try and optimise it further but that's likely about the best I can do for the moment.
There'll be a new version very soon which takes advantage of the above.
Interesting! I've not used SQLite before (MySql/PostGRESQL/etc type guy here). (But then again, why on a fresh install would it be doing a bunch of DELETEs? Maybe this is not the problem I'm having?) Either way, will love to see the new version.
I let the parsing run its course. It took 2 1/2 hours.
logged off then back again. This time
A Table in the Database is Locked.
Is anyone that can suggest a solution I haven't done yet?

Both delete and update are very slow in SQLite. INSERT OR REPLACE is much faster, which is what I'm using now, but it necessitated a new unique key on the database.
If I wasn't bothered about keeping historical data at launch, I could dump the table and insert from scratch in about 35 seconds, but as people want to keep historical data, I've not had that option.

Delete your ED4.db, and try again. 2 1/2 hours is wierd though, never takes longer than 3mins on my system fora 48 hour data set.. Have you got a load of historical data in it?
Thank you Slopey. Love this program.
