A question to you, Commanders:

Anyone runs RegulatedNoise on Windows 8 and it works or have tried and it didn't work ?

Thank you for response, Duke

8.1, doesn't work for me.
On running I get the following:
Error in main init function
Could not find a part of the path 'C:\progr'.
See detailed info in log file...

Log contained the following:
2015/04/20 17:15:52: Initialising...
2015/04/20 17:15:52: - settings loaded
2015/04/20 17:15:52: - special things done

Any requests to help troubleshoot it?

I assume, there's a general problem with Win8.
For another user following works :

Code:
create a new file in the RegulatedNoise directory with the name "RegulatedNoiseSettings.xml"

put the following lines in it:
Code:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <RegulatedNoiseSettings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <ProductsPath>F:\Games\ED\EDLaunch\Products</ProductsPath> <GamePath>F:\Games\ED\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1003</GamePath> <ProductAppData>C:\Users\Duke\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options</ProductAppData> </RegulatedNoiseSettings>

replace the given directories with your own directories.

But he has ED not installed in "C:\Program Files....." - this can be another reason for trouble in your case.
Please have a try an tell me how it works. ok ?

Hi Duke,

I play using the Steam version of this game and I did the custom xml creation in the Regulated Noise folder and figured out that the Steam default installation is different.

I had to load the settings as follows

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RegulatedNoiseSettings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<ProductsPath>C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Elite Dangerous\Products</ProductsPath>
<GamePath>C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Elite Dangerous\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1010</GamePath>
<ProductAppData>C:\Users\(User Name)\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options</ProductAppData>

Just thought I'd let anyone with the Steam version of this game and having trouble with DJ Regulated Noise.

Is there any way to exclude outposts from the best routs search?

Not at the moment. I'm working on the next release where
potentially a Landingpadsize-Filter is included. I think
that's what you want ?

Many thanks for this wonderful tool.

I am using the tool with ED purchased on Steam.
I used to have an error when starting RegulatedNoise "System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\prog" .
I solved it by creating a RegulatedNoiseSettings.xml file with the correct paths
<ProductsPath>C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Elite Dangerous\Products</ProductsPath>
<GamePath>C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Elite Dangerous\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1010</GamePath>
<ProductAppData>C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options</ProductAppData>

As I am running it on a low resolution monitor, I was quite disapointed with the quality of the OCR.
I tried using the Hig-res dump and found they were not processed.
So I turned to ImageMagik
A very simple command mogrify -path "C:\Users\username\Pictures\Frontier Developments\test" -format bmp -resize 50% HighResScreenShot_2015-04-26_17-04-46.bmp creates a picture 2732x1536, which after proper calibration.
This larger picture produces very few ocr errors.
(I played a bit with options "-fill "#000000" -opaque "#150907" -fuzz 4" but to no visible improvment of the OCR)

I have noticed that RegulatedNoise only listens for new .bmp file in thescreenshots foder, I would like to suggest that it listens also for png

although I may look into using powershell to automate the start of imagemagick when a screenshot is dropped and then move the file to the folder regulatednoise is listening to, I would like to suggest that a new feature be added to RegulatedNoise: "preprocess screenshot" or "resize screenshot" on the OCR page.

Thanks again for the tool

on which resolution did you runnin' ?

Pock Suppet · Apr 30, 2015

Thanks for that. I'll be trying it the next time I'm in it.

I was running it on a laptop 1366*768 while away from home, hence the need for higher resolution screenshoots.

when at home , I try to play on my 1440p monitor: 2560*1440. (and then I tend to blame the developper for forcing me to scroll 4 times....

)

Duke , been looking at Android apps for Elite dangerous , and wondered if RN could be used to communicate with my tablet ( to stay in fullscreen ) the web server is just another option for users
you may find this link helpful or anyone else if your thinking about such an app http://filehippo.com/download_windroy

If it says "cant read the settings file" you've probably did a mistake.
Be sure every starting tag has his correct ending tag like this:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RegulatedNoiseSettings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <ProductsPath>F:\Games\ED\EDLaunch\Products</ProductsPath>
  <GamePath>F:\Games\ED\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1003</GamePath>
  <ProductAppData>C:\Users\Duke\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options</ProductAppData>
</RegulatedNoiseSettings>

Try it again with this example and put in your correct paths. If you still have trouble, before you start RN with your modified file,
you can send me a copy of this file. So I can have a look for something fishy.

Thanks for info. Is this tool working satisfiable ?
For myself is no need for such tools. I'm running a second (smaller) monitor
with RN on it. Elite is set to this special "fullscreen borderless" (don't know the excact name at the moment)
mode and so I've no trouble with switching between both programs. It's like a permanent cockpit extension

For DSR to work you need to be in Fullscreen
