Release ED-Intelligent Boardcomputer Extension

Yeah im seeing the long start up and about a 50/50 crash on OCR with 1.84_0.25.

Edit: Flushing all the EDDN data fixed the slow start up issue.

slow startup :
ok, that's because the interenal data structure. I'm working on it -
the goal is to use a local sql database. If it's done the should be no performace
issue anymore (even with eddn data) ... and of course more filtering options present.

The crash still happens with flushed eddn data ?
If not, please write a short note.
If the crash still remains so please try the v26_1 prerelease
and report the result. Thanks
 
because there are so many peoply with problems
I released the official v1.84_0.26:

Code:
*    added latest EDDB files
*    optimized ocr for station recognition
*    fixed a crash when commodity names with special character are found like " from Baltah'sine"
 
Just checking in wondering what the game plan is, and if your working on help files, A HOW to guild in explaining the functionally of RN

what do you mean with "game plan" ? Frontiers plans with ED ?

to the help file stuff:
sorry, I don't think I will ever write a real guide (hopefully waiting for another user who will do this, I would help him with suggestions ).

I spent my little time at the moment in following extensions of RN:
1. change the EDDN interface to support the v2 schema, as the v1 schema will be cancelled on July, 1st
2. recondition of the complete internal data structures. I change it to a small, parallel running MYSQL v5.6 server . current state :
  • the server creates itself from a scratch (so it's a really small package) and is running
  • the complete table structure is finished and implemented
  • import possibility for systems from EDDB data is finished
  • it's fu_kin' quick
remaining parts for the sql modification:
  • import of Station
  • import of the Commander's Log Data
  • change accessibility from the old structures to sql

Hi Duke!

First of all, thanks for resurrecting 'RegulatedNoise'! A small donation has been made as I find the program very useful!

Whilst I'm writing, would it be possible for me to add 'SAP 8 Core Container' (Salvage) to the Commodities List in RN or would you have to do it? I just wanted to add it for completeness, just in case it becomes important later on. Or should I just ignore it? lol

Thanks again!

'SAP 8 Core Container' is not in the list, yet ? I didn't realize.
But no worry, if you scan unknown commodities for the first time
RN will ask you to add it to the list of known commodities. That's it.

Pity since you know more than most , given you wrote the newer code :D

Well, it scanned it okay, but did not offer me the option to add it to the list of commodities found at the station through OCR. In fact, it was the only commodity missing from the list of the scanned ones, all the rest were there without mistakes. To be honest, there hasn't been a single mistake since I started using the program yesterday and having scanned in approximately 20 stations worth of commodities. Well done!

OCR for SAP 8 Core Container:

but what stands in the "Correct Value" field if RN have scanned "SAP 8 Core Container" ? :S
I assume there must be some trash or at least a wrong name in the field. Overwrite it with "SAP 8 Core Container" and confirm.
Then RN should ask you to add it (normally)

That's the problem, there wasn't anything listed, as in, it didn't get picked up at all, not even scrambled words/numbers.

I'll try and do you a screenshot of the behaviour. I am using 1.84_0.26 by the way...

Edit: Okay, now it's working as intended...hmmm, it didn't yesterday... It now offered the 'Image to Correct' option and I corrected and it worked. Sorry Duke...

One thing though: I deleted all the screenshots from yesterday and just took a new one to show you how it supposedly wasn't working as intended (probably PEBCAK ;) ) and this new screenshot was named 'Screenshot_0000' and RN didn't pick that up, it only picked up the next one named 'Screenshot_0001'. This is probably as intended?

Edit 2: Yes, the SAP 8 Core Container's are being detected correctly. I might begin trusting the results of RN and allow it to automatically import. :)

Okay, further from above, everything seems to be working fine, but I have one more question: how do you get the current list of Stations/Systems recorded from EDDB. I don't want the price details, but I've noticed that there are some stations present on the EDDB System/Stations list that aren't in RN. Is there an updated System/Station list I can download from somewhere? I have been entering stations and details by hand so far. Thanks for the help, Duke!

Duke, is the systems.json and stations.json in use in RN the ones from the nightly dumps over on EDDB, can I use those?

Edit: Okay, I think I've worked it out, after checking the contents of the files. Please tell me if I'm wrong Duke...

systems.json - contains all station and price data;
systems_lite.json - as above, but no price data.


RN only uses 'systems_lite.json' (unless you specifically select 'systems.json' in settings) so we can add our own trade data. The data in 'stations_own.json' overrides the data in 'stations_lite.json' if it exists?

Edit 2: Okay, so I backed up the four files in the 'Data' folder (commodities.json, stations.json, stations_lite.json and systems.json) and replaced them with the ones from the nightly EDDB dumps. It worked and I found a few stations in a system that weren't there before replacing with the new files. So, Duke, is it safe for me to continue doing this as it'll save some work having to populate this data myself?
