Abandoned New Trading Tool: ETN

Is ETN up and working? It hasn't calculated a route or remembered station locations since Horizons went live. I've tried closing, resetting to defaults and reimporting ship but it doesn't seem to work any more.

Can anyone assist me please?

same for me, i can't open it with Chrome, however It can still open with Steam build-in browser
 
Route is working for me, although the backend EDDN trade data hasn't been updated since patch because the API seems to be dead and the new commodity UI is mucking up the OCR tools.

Hi Joel, this is simply outstanding! Thank you. I love the interface, very dynamic and intuitive. If I could be so bold as to make a suggestion though, it would be very convenient to have a "copy destination system to clipboard" - don't know how you would do it - but double click or something if context menu is out of the question on the map... I find the only clunky part is typing the name of the destination system into the map becasue of my setup with the hotas and a particularly noisy keyboard - sop when I'm "up at all hours" I have to be somewhat less than a true "happy hacker" on the kbd. :p

Such a good tool - you were instrumental in my first Million and now I'm on my way to many more :)

Works with Firefox chez moi.

Edit: As a side note: Commodity prices seem to have gone a rebalancing since 2.0 which in most cases result in lower sales prices, no?

I agree - A copy to clipboard feature would be excellent - I hate having to type in the names of the destinations and alt tabbing every few characters.

How about a DOUBLE LEFT CLICK on the boxes along bottom would copy the destination system into the clipboard, this would work good. Then maybe turn the ORANGE line into another colour to show that it's in the clipboard?
 
This truly is awesome tool, I've been using it for months. But I'm a bit worried how this or the likes will survive if ED api has been down since Horizons release... Was it deliberatelly removed? Will it be ever up again?

I've only just found this and the Market Connector tool - When in beta for horizons the API tool worked for one day, but I was playing beta so didn't use it. Now since horizons it's been off line - been using the ETN trade site a few times, some nice runs, but hopefully the API gets working again ASAP.
 
The API wasn't ever official - it was put in place for the elite:dangerous companion app and then 'borrowed' for use by the Market Connector. The server that does the API for the companion app is down (thus also breaking the official app) since Horizons. Whether it will come back up at all, or come back up locked to the companion app or come back as-was is anyone's guess.

Frontier don't want to make it too easy to do trading (or powerplay or anything else which would greatly benefit from machine-access to the backend server info) which is why they've not made any official API; the impression I've gotten from their various statements is they think we should be discovering our own routes etc individually and using pen-and-paper old school.

We may need to go back to screen-scraping with eliteOCR, but that means somebody with python coding chops needs to fix it for the UI changes in horizons.
 
Broken for me at the moment, i was dumb enough to click "Select all" on the commodities list, which brought the selected number of goods from the default 99 to all 267.
Now it just spits out an error "too long" when trying to search. I dont feel like manually looking through what the 99 standard non-illegal non-luxury goods were.. Sigh.
Hitting reset settings only resets your ship settings.

Let me know if you have any questions or run into any issues.

Just wanted to say that I discovered this site a few days ago and I LOVE it, so thanks for making it!

Today, though, I've noticed selecting all commodities and then initiating a search is throwing up a "is too long" error. Hope you get it fixed soon!

Thanks

Fixed! I'm guessing we got a lot of new commodities with Horizons.
 
Also, is it currently pulling data from EDDN? I updated the EDDN prices on Rho Tucanae/Michell Prospect an hour ago via RegulatedNoise, but ETN is still showing old data from 4 days ago. I checked EDDB and it has the prices I uploaded, so it looks like I uploaded successfully.
 
Do you see an error message from the search?


No error message, no matter what I type in the search bar, it always resets to the same
thing, and I never see any routes.

Log file location for Horizons/1.5 has changed!

Make sure you updated this in your tools' config.

Hope this helps

Clicker

If you mean the tools button on the website?
When I click on that it only gives me option to reset to default.
