I guess that is why the trade run that I have been using for a week, now is completely ruined less than 12 hours after my data was uploaded to the server (without my concent).
Traders beware, your trading places can be ruined. My system is now completely out of Palladium, Beryllium AND gold (for the past week I have been the only visitor in the area, now suddenly there is Type9 and Pythons.
Oh well. I might as well update the data so the "leechers" dont waste their time on my, now runied routes.

Likewise. Traffic report for the station, I have been alone for more than a month in those systems. From one day to anoter, 46 type 6, 23 python and 12 Type 9 (traffic report is commanders only). But tnx for talking out of your ass.
Also, for the current amount of users, 933, there is only 2779 known systems. That is not even 3 systems pr. user. I have uploaded more than 50 unique. So yea, someone is not really pulling their weight, which is where I think the term leecher is quite correct.

to start off , youre changing your story. First you said it was "for a week" now you say for more than a month. Which is it? Get your story straight please. none of your supporting argument guarantees those people seen in the traffic report were doing "your trade route". Nothing guarantees they were using the BPC. Or even doing trade runs for that matter. The traffic report denotes entry into the system. is it a hub system that has proximity to other stars? those people may not have even docked in that system. Its all assumption. the only flat out guarantee is that the system changes during restarts and downtimes what commods are available and are bought and sold. Unless the specific items you were after were a super low available stock (which you would deplete on your own eventually anyway)

Last but not least the bpc voice notification has said for as many versions as ive been using it "upload completed" whenever you enter data. Its no ones fault but your own for not looking at what the tool you decided to use does.
seriously who installs things on their computer without fully taking the time to see what the thing does in the first place...

Don't like it? Don't use it. And you're off by a decade or two. By the way, the Shift key is for capitalisation. :)

i will use it thankfully you have options to turn them off - why would I stop using it (you seem to say that a lot to anyone who doesn't agree with you)
and and as for the GRAMMER GOD quote.... just assume the same response was given by me that you must have obviously had before while trying to me a smarta###

I am having an issue with the version 4.2.1.0.

It was working normally but now it is unable to download any update (force data download). It show a message: download error - will retry. Except for that, the program still work.

If I move the database for a older version of BPC (4.2.0.3 or 4.1.4.1) , the program download and parse OK.

I tried a clean reinstall. Removed all entries in /users/xxx/appdata/local/slopey.com

I think , but I can not be sure, the issue started after I try to use "Manually delete data older than 48 hours".

Edit: here is a link to my database : https://www.mediafire.com/?rm67j9j857ob20a

So are you correcting it as you go from place to place or just flying off leaving the data there?

It's crowdsourced - if nobody updates it, it doesn't get better. If entries are wrong or are very old, correct them. If people are always correcting incorrect (or in some cases malicious) entries, then those doing it will get bored soon enough as it's fruitless.

But it's not the tool's fault, it's the users who are using it, so if you're going to complain about the data, you should at least be correcting those entries.

Yes, I am correcting. I enter into the spirit of the tool.
I am not blaming the tool, or you.

Anyone explain how I add space stations to stars.

I've been in a succession of systems where no stations are listed. If I can add the Stations I can add their produce.

Appreciate information

Really would like to contribute here.

Slopey, as a fellow oldie who's bones crack to let me know I'm alive, thanks for this great tool.

I had this exact problem. On Slopey's suggestion, I opened windiows in Safe mode and deleted ED4.db and ED4,backup.db

Worked brilliantly. Might for you too. Worth a try!

Surf - click Add/Update prices in the BPC. The System should be selected, choose the station from the drop down, or if it isn't there - type it in. Then add prices for it.

Hey guys. To my problem that slopeys BPC wont detect my location in the galaxy:

I run slopeys as administrator.
The log path in the options menue is: ..\Frontier\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1002\Logs

I've changed the AppConfig.xml to this (got it from some pages ago):

<AppConfig>
<Display>
<ScreenWidth>1280</ScreenWidth>
<ScreenHeight>720</ScreenHeight>
<FullScreen>false</FullScreen>
<VSync>true</VSync>
<PresentInterval>1</PresentInterval>
<Adapter>0</Adapter>
<Monitor>0</Monitor>
<DX11_RefreshRateNumerator>60</DX11_RefreshRateNumerator>
<DX11_RefreshRateDenominator>1</DX11_RefreshRateDenominator>
<!-- If you are looking for the SSAA setting this has moved in to Settings.xml in the save directory
** typically: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics.
** If this file does not exist you can generate it by entering the graphics options screen in game
** and hitting apply. You can then add <SSAA>X</SSAA> when X is the SSAA amount (1 by default) -->
</Display>

Reinstall, or deleting ed4.db didn't help.

I know, a clean install, with a new database will work. But I still miss my old database, with more than 2500 systems...

Anyway, Slopey, if possible to you change the way of BPC make the backup ? The current way, the old database is always overwrite at program start. Can you add an option to save more than one backup of database ? Like ED4.db.current.date.current.time.backup ? Or at least, keep the latest 5 backups.

V4.2.1.0 working ok for me, super fast parsing, unfortunately laptop now has to go in for repair, so no updating and no ED for 10 days, talk about doing "Cold Turkey".

See you in 10 days, hopefully we should be on V4.2.9.9 by then Lol.

keep up the good work Slopey:)

Basically, set the Logs directory on the options page of the BPC properly - to the Logs directory in FORC-FDEV* (where the game is).

Then in that FORC-FDEV* directory, you'll find AppConfig.xml. You need to edit that and add VerboseLogging="1" under the <Network line.

Thanks a lot, it's working now!

Oh, I'm fixing them alright, I just wanted to get the word out so other people can fix it too.

Thanks tons. Sorry to have been a bit slow. I couldn't get it to work before. But it does now.

I assume the data, once saved, will be shared with other users?

Great stuff Slopey. If I happen to see you out there, I'll slope my wing. :)
