Quazil's Astro Analytics (new trading/commodity locating program)

v1.0.25.1 crashes on startup. This is the first time I have tried it - don't know if that is related. Created an issue for you on bitbucket (or whatever it is called). I would suggest that you add an uninstall process as well. Check out the difference in download file size compared to the other - reckon something rather important is missing.

I forgot the trade data. Please try it now.
 
Weird. OK - so downloaded again (file size looks about right this time). Deleted the existing installation and started from scratch. I created an "astroanalytics" directory for the app. After extracting the files I look around and see the exe so run that. The program checks for update after which a new directory called Update has appeared with all the same files in it - seems a bit redundant. But anyway, carrying on, still crashes with same error. crash.jpg
Mm that's a bit grubby - I'll clean it up and put a better file here. Drat - can't figure out how to do that - I'm useless with pictures. Why isn't this stuff easy. Oh well, after a fix I'll just delete the darn thing.

Glorious tool so far. Much more solid than the others.
Could you implement a flight log feature please? QAA is the most stable tool so far, would be perfect for logging long time explorations.
And complement the trading section with a "port of destination" selector, please? Good for those deliver xxx to System B missions, for filling the rest of the cargospace with the most profitable resource at the target.
I have seen a lot of german-named commodities under rares, people aren't thinking when they scan prices. I switched my ED to english just because of this. Need to sort that out somehow.
Keep up the extraordinary work and thanks a lot.

Please add the exploration log as a request on bitbucket

I have one other person reporting a similar error and am working thru it with them.

Just for fun I'll delete all the current stuff and download the previous version and see if that runs. At least that will determine whether or not it is related to the latest version only.

Reporting back.

I deleted all files.
Downloaded and installed previous version.
Ran it.
Went into update after doing check for updates. The extract took forever (10 minutes) but got there.
This time there is no extra "Update" directory.
Program runs.
Quit and run again just to be sure - no problems.

So - it would seem that the problem relates only to the new version being installed from scratch. Upgrading a previous version is fine.

Thank you; I've found a crash bug if the directories don't exist in 25.
 
v1.0.25.2 should fix the crash bug if you are experiencing it.

After you run the first time you should to go to File->Settings and double check the folders (they will probably need to be fixed)
 
Are you going to put a new version up in bitbucket or should we just go with the current one and hope it upgrades properly?
[edit] Never mind - I see it is there now.

Bad news I'm afraid - same issue.

I checked after extraction and the directories were there - EDDN and OCR. Run program, get win8.1 protection notice, choose run anyway, crash. It did the check for updates and after that there is a new directory in there called Update. Don't understand why. Anyway, what other directories could it need? If I install a previous version I get only those 2 sub-directories and that runs fine. The new version also contains the same sub-directories and that doesn't run fine. So - not sure that the directory issue is the problem - sorry.

Just downloaded, unpacked, if the security check box is ticked it would crash. Fixed that, updated then attempted to load loads of copies of the program and then crashed. I have my desktop on a drive other than C. Moved the folder and program to the root of C and ran it, now it works.

So might be a drive issue, in that it has to run on the C drive.
 
On another topic - I would strongly recommend trying to find a way of incorporating an A* algorithm if you can find a plug-in somewhere. I usually test the strength of people's method this way - use a known A* method e.g. CMDR Athanasius' Route Planner for the following two tests - Sol to Lave with 10 ly jump capability and the same with 11 ly jump.

Your results -

1. no route found (one does exist - 20 hops and 161 ly)
2. route found but 25 steps instead of 15 and over 200 ly's total compared to 130.

I'm using C but not the root. You could have nailed the problem right there.

I don't think it has to run on C though I've never tried elsewhere.
I thought I fixed this bug in v1.0.25.2 - which version did you try?

The nav algorithm needs a lot of work. Right now it will just find something so you can try to pick one of those systems with the in-game navigator.

Hello,

I am afraid that I am having the same issue. This the 1st time I have downloaded it and did so with the latest version 1.0.25.3. The error box I get after the Window 8.1 warning is for a .Net framework message. Is there something that I would have to do with .net that would fix it?

Thanks
