Abandoned [RELEASE] Trade Computer Extension

Status
Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
For my example I used trading (tsame smuggling etc). But I think I found out what is happening. For example my added text is
“I was ripped off”
My initial entry looks like this.


After I hit save it looks like this.


Note the ==== line marked red, after every subsequent change the line will be added after the last character of the original note.


The issue is, that you didnt select any commodities, please try again and select one.

V1.39: You have to copy all databases (DB folder), except the panel.mdb. A new TCE.ini must be created with the TCE Setup.
V1.38 & earlier: no longer compatible.

Hi, I haven't been around for a long while and I've obviously missed something.

My last version of TCE 1.40 beta 3, so well before Powerplay. The problem I have is my db's, as I know the pertinent ones with my data are TCE.mdb, Logbook.mdb, Personal.mdb and Panel.mdb. So I've copied these over only Languages.mdb hasn't been changed. But when the game is loaded up and I OCR scan (Latest Version installed 0.6.0.10) I don't get the new goods, nor is the Salvage Category added.

Do I need to add these in EliteOCR separately?

You are right. Thanks. Maybe it should be noted somewhere that you have to do that.

Personal Ship Logbook

If I store a Station e.g. as a Point of Interest (Station is stored in the DB) it will show up with its Sector ID in Points of Interest rather than with the Station Name.​

Yes, add both to EliteOCR and add the new commodities to TCE too.

I'm sure somewhere in the 189 pages this might have been answered buy good god going though all those pages. Simply I've installed the new version with the installer into the ED folder also ran the setup and its auto found the two paths that it is required to find. Also I've setup the whole excel thing for it to work and load up properly, although when I start up ED and then this program it all loads and everything but nothing works, in the "Current Status" section it says Please enter the game and well I'm in the game..lol. So maybe someone can enlighten me as to what I've screwed up or have forgotten to do.

Thanks again everyone :)

Hello,

TCE cant find your position at the netlog file of Elite Dangerous, so please check, if the appconfig.xml path is set correctly and if the file holds the VerboseLogging="1" entry under network.
 
Using: TCE V1.41 (Compact UI)

I want to check a new star system distance entires after I had initially added it. When I when to modify star I got the following error:

TCE Error 1.JPGTCE Error 2.JPG
 
Hi !
Bug in 1.41 (the return of the big bad error 13)
In ship logbook, when clicking "Store" and then "Ressource Extraction" ==> crash
Ressource_extraction.png

The same happens with "Conflict Zone" ==> "High"
Didn't test others yet, i'll let you know.
 
The error appears whatever I choose in "Store". The debugger indicate the same line of code. The only difference is the code page (BTN_ComX). Do you need a screenshot for each ?

Yah seems like the path was incorrect thanks again for that, its working now. Although just a few questions the Commodity and Trade scout and Trade buttons say Locked or no station when I am parked in a station. Is that because I need to personally add them or is there something once again I'm missing here..lol

You have to carefully read Yokai's guide and manually check your ED installaton folder. Make sure paths are correct and files (appconfig.xml and netlogs) are presents in the indicated locations. If not, the TCE setup isn't pointing the good folder so do it manualy.

Yes you have to enter them using the "Database" button. Then you'll have to enter commodities. I suggest you download EliteOCR and unzip it in TCE/EliteOCR folder. I also suggest to launch EliteOCR.exe at least once and follow the help tutorial that will help you to configure it. Commodities Market screenshot calibration is very important to minimize OCR errors.
You will also have to add some systems, but again, Yokai's guide is just perfect, take time to read it.

Aaah ok so basically if you don't use the EliteOCR you have to place all that stuff in manually but if you do use EliteOCR it does it all automatically? Am I understanding this correctly? I just never installed that program just because it said optional..lol

Exact. You should still verify EliteOCR entries as it sometimes doesn't recognize everything, depending of your screen resolution etc... But it's far faster with it.

P.S : EliteOCR scans only commodities, you will still have to edit or create some systems or station manually.

Ah cool thanks, I am currently in the process of getting the OCR and looking at the help to config it
 
Hi Eventure

Just upgraded from TCE 1.39 to 1.41. The upgrade appears to have worked fine without problems. I added the 2 new commodities to TCE using Database -> Wares, saved them individually and checked they are present and spelled correctly. Also added them to EliteOCR and checked they are there in the commodities list and correctly spelled. Problem is I cannot get them added to the scanned TCE commodities panel list at a station - Zelano : Aitken Terminal which has both new commodities, as an OCR scan will not pick them up. What am I likely doing wrong or have not done correctly? I did restart TCE and Elite but no change, I cannot get these 2 new commodities recognised in an OCR scan.

Also I notice in this release of TCE when I click on the Commodities panel button to do a scan - or any other button in TCE, the Windows taskbar appears. Yes, I realise I am in Excel at this point but I don't recall this happening before in 1.39. Not a serious problem and maybe I am wrong, but it surprised me as I cannot recall seeing this taskbar action before. Using Windows 7 and yes, I am in borderless windowed mode.

Got another one for the brains. F10 is the button that takes a screen shot.....so what happens when you push it and nothing happens no screen shot no folder created named pictures nothing, I can't even do the HD ones.

...........christ never-mind found their location. wow ok..lol.

for anyone else ever looking they appear in:
C:\Users\[USER NAME]\Pictures\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous
Not in the logical place where one would think they would appear which is the games directory..lol

Hmmm... i thought, this problem is over. Anyone having the same issue in adding locations to store?

got a runtime 9 saving notes at stored locations, resource extraction:

StoreData(6) = Ar_DBRE(ST_SelectID, 6)
StoreData(7) = Ar_DBRE(ST_SelectID, 7)
StoreData(8) = Me.ST_Note.Text
StoreData(9) = 0
StoreData(10) = x
StoreData(11) = Ar_DBRE(ST_SelectID, 11)
StoreData(12) = Ar_DBRE(ST_SelectID, 12)
StoreData(13) = Ar_DBRE(ST_SelectID, 13)
Ar_DBRE(ST_SelectID, 10) = StoreData(10)
Ar_DBRE(ST_SelectID, 8) = StoreData(8)
Ar_DBStore(Ar_DBRE(ST_SelectID, 1), 10) = StoreData(10)
Ar_DBStore(Ar_DBRE(ST_SelectID, 1), 8) = StoreData(8)
Call SQL_Export_Mod(AppPath & "\DB\Logbook.mdb", "Store")
Worksheets("DB_Store").Range("A2:M" & AzStore + 1) = Ar_DBStore

x = 0
For a = 0 To AzShips - 1
If Me.ListBox1.Selected(a) = True Then
x = x + WorksheetFunction.Power((2), Me.ListBox1.List(a, 0))
End If

Hmm... cant recreate it. As usual. Please send me your database and logbook. I will check it, if i can with yours.

You dont need F10 for EliteOCR, the TCE way.
TCE makes own screenshots. Just install EliteOCR into the predefined folder of TCE, start and with adding your first station, you be able to scan the commodities with a button.

Please check, if TCE shows the new commodities (open Commodity panel, select show all commodities, navigate to metals and salvage category and look, if they are listed).
If not, please check your TCE.mdb database > Goods table, if they are listed as ID 82 and 83. Also check the Category table, if "Salvage" is listed as ID 15 and the language.mdb at the LOC_Goods and LOC_Category table
If so, make a scan of them and look into the export.csv. Are one or both of them listed in the file?
If not, check EliteOCR entries for the goods.
If so, check the spelling of the goods at the database of TCE.
If correct, it should work.

For the taskbar issue, activate the old panel display mode. I will make it save in next release.

Ok so I have EliteOCR in I did run it once to config it and everything. Do I have to run again manually or does TCE just automatically run the program. I am just confused here because I click on the commodity tab after I've added a station and the prices of course are wrong but at the button at the bottem that says, "Update Prices" then "Start OCR" when I click on this button I think "Please wait" pops up for me for maybe half a second then disappears. I was assuming then the updated prices would be reflected in the commodity tab but they still display all the incorrect prices.

I've followed the steps from Yokai's guide doing the whole clicking the scan moving it down etc but nothing is changing at all. I don't get the save button after clicking the Start OCR it just goes back to "Start OCR"

when in a station get the commodity list showing as you would when buying anything in ED..
then on the tce panel press commodity and a panel will open click on the small button at the bottom "reset all prices before scan" then it will change to "start ocr scan" click on this.
this will scan all prices currently showing and load them into the correct categorys. in seconds.. when its done button will say "ocr scan" again. then
scroll down the commodityw window to show the next lot of items and press "scan" again repeat untill you are at the bottom of the commodity page (does not matter if you double scan any items)
once done click ON THE "SAVE" BUTTON at the TOP of the commodity panel to save this to your database.
you will then get a overview page showing best export / imports.
looks a lot but once you have done it its easy to follow.

sorry just reread the message properly.. yes once you have clicked on start ocr once it has read the page the prices should have changed.. so you can double check in case of errors eg. 6's and 8's.


all done
