Thanks for the feedback, that makes me smile.

@All
I need a little input here for the new Personal Logbook panel, i create at the moment. There will be a statistic page, which had to be filled with things of interest. So please give some proposals, what values should displayed.

Here are some, i like to see:
- Kills
- Bounties collected
- Star System visited
- Stations recorded
- Distance traveled
- ...

Any proposal is welcome.

Tick box system for shipyards so (like in the station data page for black market etc) you can see at a glance what ships are there.

Latest version seems stable to me btw. Thanks again!

Where's the donation link?

Numbers on these would be useful for me.

- Star System visited
- Stations recorded
- Distance traveled
 
- Ability to input notes in as we go and to scroll up and down in the log's history.
- a way to expend the panel to see more of it at once and shink it back for normal use.

Its already in.

You will have a big textbox to fill infos like this, i think a listbox should do it, where you can select all ship types of a shipyard.

You will find it at the Options panel. Thanks in advance.


Here a small preview of the Personal Logbook panel (sry, no pics yet, its too early). Contents are:

Personal Stats:
- Name
- Ship
- Money
- Role Ranks
- Faction Ranks
- Statistics

Logbook:
- Date
- Time
- Star System
- Distance
- Location
- Location Notes (Station,Shipyard,Local)

Stored Locations:
- Self-created categories (Mining,Warzones,PoI,etc.)
- Selectable for setting up a destination (star systems or stations only)
- Location Notes (Station,Shipyard,Local)

Activities:
- Trades protocol
- Engagements
- Missions

Contacts:
- Friends
- Pirates
- Others

Stellar Cartography:
- as exists, but better UI
- Star type
- Fuelscoop capability

Anything forgotten? What you think of it?

And a proposal: I like to rename "BODY ID" to "SECTOR". It fits more to a space game to me.

Sounds very nice !
as it grows, a way to search inside all of that might become useful.

Also, as stated quite a while ago,
either a setting up the database in a way that could be accessed to be read with a logbook kind of presentation.
or a way to export the data to word (as long as were using office :)) formatted as such.
 
sounds very good, eventure.
*cough*, outpost filter, *cough*, destination panel, *cough*
plz?

as for a trading supplement, this is one of the most needed features (by me).
keeping track of available ships / outfitting would top it.
Don't need anything more.
It runs very well, ab.so.lutely. error-free on my side.
Can't thank you enough, friend.

Ships I agree, Outpost filter too !
outfitting would be hard/useless because it seems to change all the time !

Something for special for Rares.
I don't know exactly what is needed I've not tried that activity yet and didn't really see any rares at all.
Must have come across some thought ! Which is my point, they should not be that easy to miss !!!
Any way they could be colored differently or marked in a way that would help not miss them ???


And no errors at all here too, it's working perfectly ! and VERY useful !!!

outfitting changes? sure? I noted down available modules in stations, like fsd up to a6,
pp up to b5 and so on, and when i went there to buy, the expected equipment was there...

rares ARE coloured different from the other commodities, in yellow (in ED already)...
there's no 'best sell' station, the further you're away from the source, the more profit you'll make (>120ly best)
if you are curious bout them, look here, it will help:

example for a route:

Next release has a filter for large stations. They are highlighted in the list.

I think this will fall into the Stored Locations (where to buy) and Activities (distance display) area.

I am very sure it used to be that way but that was quite a while ago,
last time I actively checked was just before or just after wings.
I haven't found my new home yet, but I will check it out once I do.
unless you do it and report back first.
If you stay in the same area, keep that note and check it again a few more times/days.

Never notice a different color, so I guess I really did not come across any rares yet !
The therm rare as not been taken lightly then lol
Thank you for the info and the links, I will check them out !

Just found my first RARE, The color is obvious so I know it is the first one I encounter ! Onion Head, I'm in for a wild night :)

I buy sidewinders and leave them at stations of interest, good outfitting or the starts and ends of trade routes. Makes things easy to find in the galaxy map regardless of zoom level :)
 
As i can see, this codeline is for opening the Commodity panel, not saving prices. Please tell me, what you have done before clicking on the button and please give me a screenshot of the whole interface (shiplog included), so i can peek at the right point. The code doesnt help much in this case, because it only points to routine, from where the error comes, not the error code itself. In addition, if you got to the same point, press F8 for each codeline, till the error show up. You can make it again and again, till you found the right codeline, which produces the error. Thanks.

The position issue is found and will be fixed in next release. Good finding.

Sorry - when I said 'saving prices' I was a little imprecise. I meant trying to open the Commodity Panel to record the prices.

I have also noticed that starting TCE sometimes (but not always) produces this error when the loading screen is displayed

20150405#1.jpg

but then appears to load and function normally apart from the commodities error - could this be linked in some way?


However, with respect to the commodities error, I have done as you suggest and used F8 to step through the code (as below)

20150405#2.jpg

which when stepping to the next line (Juri_Name) produces a further mis-match error and loops back to where the original error occurred.


Here is the screenshot of the interface

literally all I have done is start ED, start TCE and then gone to the commodities at the station and attempted to open the commodities panel.

Hope you can solve this problem Eventure as I'm tempted to go back to v1.38 which was more or less running fine for me :eek:

By the way made another donation to help!

No, it comes, if TCE doesn't find any position data in the netlogfile, because you are at the main menu for ED, when starting TCE. I added safety procedures to prevent this error and at the Position panel an information will be displayed.

Thanks for this detailed report, it helps alot.

Okay, this routine (Station_Template) comes from the pre EliteOCR era, because it only fires, if EliteOCR was not found/installed. Please check your installment of EliteOCR. The path is not correct. And yes, i said, EliteOCr is optional, but all using it with TCE, so i missed the possibility, that anyone will use TCE without it. I will edit this routine to be compatible with the new version. Thanks for finding.

Thank you again for your support.
 
The only thing I found with the latest release was I couldn't bind F12 to open and close tce. That's what I've always been using previously.

Great to see this progressing, also good to see kills on there :)

Not sure if it is possible but it would be good to see our top 3 kills in terms of rewards, e.g.
Cmdr Worthlots 190,300 CR
Cmdr Death 150,300 CR
Cmdr Pennyless 40,333 CR

Money gained from kills per faction
Federation 1,000,222 CR
Alliance 1,300,000 CR
etc.

Highest traded commodity

Sorry, but with this new routine, F11 and F12 are no longer possible to be a hotkey.

Update V1.39 beta 3 released:
- Bugfix in start routine
- Station template rewritten
- New checkbox at the Destination panel to highlight large stations only
- Changed "BODY ID" to "SECTOR"
- Bugfix at Trade, Star System Database and Station Database panel
- X/Y/Z Display position now saved correctly
- Colored red to wrong (50% over or under the min/max price of the good) OCR data at Commodity panel now

My bad... whilst I have EliteOCR installed in the correct directory I just had a look at my TCE.ini file and the path for EliteOCR is blank! I was sure I had defined it when I set up v1.39 :S

Anyway all corrected now and TCE running like a dream..

Thanks
 
INSERT maybe not a good key, because you could insert all star system names into ED through the clipboard.

Only my opinion. Make it, as you like.

Does tce make use of the clipboard then? tbh it would only affect chat so it's not that big of a deal.

I just need a key close to F12 due to how my set up is and muscle memory. I did use backspace first but as you can imagine that wasn't my best idea :)
