Release Trade Computer Extension Mk.II

Sorry people noob is back with another noob question. I'm still using 1.1.5 cuz I can't seem to get the updates to load. Pretty sure it's still me not understanding all the procedures yet. But 1.1.5 was doing well enough for me to learn with. But now all of a sudden when I reach a new station and enter all the info and save that seems to work fine. My problem is that when I try to scan the prices in nothing shows up - the panel remains blank. It seems like it thinks it's scanning like before but when done and ready to do the next group there is no info displayed. I double checked all the paths in configure part of launcher and they haven't changed. Can train Elite OCR with screenshots. Any one point me in the right direction would be nice.

If you have changed the FOV of the game, please set it back to default (approx. 56). Min. req. resolution must be 1680x1050.
 
Thank you sir. Res is set at 1920x1080. But I did change the FOV. Soon as I can get back to gaming I will do as instructed.
Thanks for taking time out of your day.

TWO SMALL ISSUES:

ISSUE 1
When at a station that has a rare good the current station/system name is highlighted as Gold, that works fine. However when you leave that system the Highlight remains for the current system until you get to a station and update it.

Screen shot is from a system containing no stations after leaving a station with a Rare Good.

ISSUE 2

Region Summary tab doesn't appear to be displaying HIGH TECH stations correctly

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nzws3qunzvq8hen/I_THINK_THIS_SHOULD_BE_HIGH_TECH_NOT_COLONY.png?dl=0
 
I have also noticed that TCE has started to incorrectly detect planetary bases on planets where there are two. This was a problem a while back, then it was solved. However I noticed it again the last two days.

I can run a test like before and send net logs if you want Eventure.

Both issues are fixed for the next release. Thanks for report.

Yes, please make a testlog and I need your database too. Thanks.

Files sent. As in email, it detected things right early in the session, but after flying around doing missions for about 1.5 hrs, I went back and TCE detected the planetary port incorrectly.
 
Couple of minor 'enhancements'

Hi Eventure

You will not have heard from me for sometime - this is because I am busy playing ED along with TCE with no problems whatsoever :)

There are couple of changes which I hope you can make though.

1. For the 'hide TCE' option buttons to switch the focus to ED once they are used to show TCE - currently I have to manually reset the focus to ED.
2. On the Market Panel allow mixed case in the 'Notes' field. Currently if entering text here it defaults to upper case or displays previously entered text in upper case.

Thanks
 
Just started using the application and it's very nice. I noticed a few minor issues related to the UI and have not taken the time to see if they are known issues by reading through the 87 pages of the thread. If these are already known then I apologize for the repetition.

1. I have been unable to resize the Database-Locations panel. When I click on the control button nothing happens.
2. When using the shortcut keys to close panels the Navigation, Trade, Personal, Commodity, Routes and Connect buttons stay highlighted. The Navigation, Trade, Personal and Connect panel buttons stay highlighted even after you open another panel using the shortcut keys.

The only other thing I've noticed so far is that when I tried to auto-detect my paths during configuration the auto-detect threw an exception because of a permissions issue. This occurred even when I ran the application as an administrator. I manually selected my paths and everything is good but thought I'd let you know.
 
Full Version (1.2.0) released:



Changelog:
- Added buy prices for rare commodities.
- Optimized the position detection routine for markets/locations with a shared sector ID.
- Fixed an issue with market highlight for rares at the position display.
- Fixed an issue showing Colony twice instead of High Tech at the Region Summary tab of the Navigation panel.
- Fixed an issue showing upper case notes at the Market Database panel.
- Fixed an issue when unhiding TCE not switching focus to ED.
- Fixed an issue with the control button not responing at the Location Database panel.
- Fixed an issue using shortcuts for hiding panels not removing button highlight.

Note:
This full version requires a new installation of TCE and an import of your old database from a previous version. Do not install this full version over your old or loading a backup from an older version.
Please check here, how to install a new full version, when used an older version before.
Question: What I have to do, when a new version of TCE is released?
Answer: With every FULL release, pls do the following:

1. Rename current TCE folder (e.g. C:\TCE.old)
2. Install new full TCE Version (e.g. C:\TCE)
3. Run TCE, go to Configuration, detecting the Paths (optional, because TCE copies your old TCE.ini file with an import).
4. Database Management -> Import from MKII -> Choose old folder (C:\TCE.old)

If you have an issue, that TCE not detecting the proper market or location on a planet, please update the position data (you have to be at the market/location to update) by modifying the market/location entry (change something and back) and save it. Thereafter TCE detecting it properly.

Hi, probably a noob question but since the 1.1.8 update the 3 boxes at the bottom of the screen are now position higher than they were, meaning they obscure the scanner (a bit, not loads).

Is there any way I can move them so they are flush with the bottom of the screen?

My resolution is 1920 x 1080

The FAQ holds the answer:

Question: How to move the panels across the screen?
Answer: All panels could be moved by click&hold onto the panel name. For the Main UI, you have to select CONTROLS > PANEL to display the panel name. You can move it from the top to the bottom, if you like. The three bottom panels (Waypoint, Credit and Summary) could be also be moved to the top. They will adapt accordingly.

Hi Eventure

Unfortunately I've hit a problem when trying to import my TCE2 database into v1.2.0

The import gets to 'Adding Goods/Rares' and then I get an unhandled exception error 'Index was outside the bounds of the array'

I have had no recent problems with the database and wonder whether it is something to do with the addition of prices for the Rares?

Thank for your database, that cleared the issue. A fix will be released any moment.
 
The FAQ holds the answer:

Question: How to move the panels across the screen?
Answer: All panels could be moved by click&hold onto the panel name. For the Main UI, you have to select CONTROLS > PANEL to display the panel name. You can move it from the top to the bottom, if you like. The three bottom panels (Waypoint, Credit and Summary) could be also be moved to the top. They will adapt accordingly.

Thanks, and thanks again for a great tool.

Just donated so I hope you can get some beers/ beverage of choice - you deserve it!
 
@eventure
Thanks for the update. It seems to work fine after running some missions.

But I thought I should report that I got some errors when updating. I`m not quite sure, but it happened when finishing the update.

The report was:

"Error on SQL Export! Table Store
error message operatoren : is not defined for type DBNull and "nothing" "

As I said, seems to work fine, but I got this error message in the end of the update.

Can you send me your old database folder for a test run? Seems that your stored locations failed to import. You can copy your old TCE_Locations.db into the new version by hand. No changes there, but I want to have a look, what is wrong with your database.

Thanks
 
Log/location problem

Hi Eventure

Using 1.2.1 and I'm trying to add a Conflict Zone for a highlighted location in the log but there is no button in the entry summary to add it. :(

Unfortunately I'm not able to give you a screenshot as i am having trouble uploading images to the forum.
