Discussion Slopey's "BPC" Trade tool - v5 now available

LeftNut Alpha said:
I haven't used the BPC for a few weeks and now when I start it I get a "WyUpdate has stopped working" error message briefly and it fails to update. BPC no longer finds my current system. If I manually type in system names it finds trades and I can add/update prices. The flight log no longer tracks my progress either. I have changed nothing in my system configuration since the last time I ran the BPC. It seems to have the correct log file directory, unless ED changed that again! Any ideas?

perhaps the last update and erased the Verboselogging

Yes, that solved the current station and flight log thing but I am still getting the "WyUpdate has stopped working" message along with a big red "x" in the upper right corner that says "failed to update."

When I run BPC it throws an error. Something about converting DBnull to integer. It also shows up each time it autoupdates. I almost crashed while docking as BPC threw a fit and minimized the game window.

Here is the details from the crash:

Is this still the latest version?

Seems to be. :/

[EDIT]
Found a database error, in case Slopey ever comes back:

There is no "Cady Depot" station, or anything similar, in the Tewi system. The only 3 stations in that system are Meuron Survey, Melotte Survey, and Bracchi Prospect.

SilverlightPony · Apr 30, 2016

Also, I have encountered a bug.

Sometimes when I click "Add/Update Prices" the program will pop up a box saying to wait for it to finish parsing, even though the status bar says it's not parsing at the time. Sometimes I can work around it by clicking "Force Data Download", waiting on it to download and parse that, and then it'll work; but twice now even that hasn't helped, and I've had to close the program in order get "Add/Update Prices" to work again.

This is after fully uninstalling it (using Revo Uninstaller Pro, which runs the program's normal uninstaller then looks for leftover files and registry entries to clean up) and reinstalling it from a fresh download.

ZackG · May 9, 2016

Another thing too is that stations that are not in a faction dont have trade data.

OamodSias · May 22, 2016

It seems you've left some dev stuff behind in this build: Options & Skins > Dev panel.

I have a small feature request: Functionality to copy a single cell on the BPC grid.
The idea here is to copy a "To" station name in order to paste it into the GM, instead of having to type it out,
however I'm thinking a single button that can copy the contents of any selected cell would be better.

Regards,
Oa

It installs in your C:\Program Files (x86)\Slopeys ED BPC and runs as a separate program

Kremator · May 29, 2016

Can't trade without my Slopey's BPC ..... need that fix please!

Surfinjo · May 30, 2016

Apologies if this is well known.

I've found a temp work around while we wait for Slopey to create a new BPC, if he ever does.

I took images of the Comodities market using his Elite OCR and saved these as .csv.

I needed to load the files into Notepad, then replace space with a dash. After I saved the file again with a .csv extension.

The files now load into a spreadsheet. I confess I don't really use these things, but had one with my Open Office.

Those that have other suites will need to adapt as needed.

Hopefully this will be temporary, but it does mean we have some lists to keep us going for now

addition.

Poking around I've discovered that it's possible to set the separators. BPC uses semi-colons, seems my Spreadsheet prog also recognised spaces. Removed that i options now I don't need to pre-edit the OCR file.

Again, apologies to those that regularly use Spreadsheets.

Acenoid · Jun 2, 2016

Hi there!

Will try to put the log path to c:\users\ but I think with Steam the path is inside the steamapps subfolder?

I also confirm that I have the same problem as other users reported already: sometimes entering new station data causes the program to show a "still parsing" error - but this never ends. Maybe an workaround would be to have a button that stops all BPC activities? e.g parsing
