Abandoned [RELEASE] Trade Computer Extension

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
Hello Eventure

I'd like the following features to be implemented:

1. Since every shipyard has a Sidewinder I'd like this to be checked by default. Saves me one mouse click. (Ships don't appear in alphabetical order in ED, but I'm going to ask FD for that to be corrected since I think that would make it easier to enter on Shipyards tab)
2. The star system database panel doesn't seem to be accessible from the menus. Can this be added to the Cartography button? I don't like to enter star details while I'm supercruising but prefer to wait until safely in a station so I switch off the panel from options, but it doesn't appear while inside a station.

Thanks.

yyy
 
hey eventure, if not already included in next update,

Will be included in next full release.

To 1.: Will add your request, no problem.
To 2.: The Star System Database panel, to enter new stars, is opened through the Database button (both Classic and Compact UI), all the time possible.

If TCE start up with no problem, then go into the Options panel and deselect the "Old Panel Display Mode". Restart again and look, if the issue is gone. If you cant reach the Options panel, then edit you TCE.ini file at the Panel_Mode entry from True to False.
BTW, what is your resolution? Also 4k, like LBITB?

Hi Eventure
OK - will try this as soon as I can - I haven't been back on the computer since I reported the problem but will try to get on ASAP.
Yes I am on a 4K display. Only one monitor running at the moment.
Also - Thanks Bragolatch and LBITB by the way

Not true : I found one shipyard (in Facece if I remember well) wich had no Sidewinder. But yes, I believe it's the only one I ever saw until then, so your request is still very relevant :)

It could be a bug. Have you been to Facece recently? I've seen stations with no ships at all until FD fixed the problem.

Didnt having it here, but the error comes with high resolutions. Releasing new update soon.
 
Update (V1.43 Beta 2) released:





Changelog:
- Fixed error with non-standard panel display mode and high resolution (hopefully).


dunno if it's tce or my machine, but switching a few times back and forth with the display modes did not crash this time, but got me nearly freezing.
after that, i got the message from windows: 'das farbschema wurde in windows standard geändert...' the rest couldn't be read, disappeared too fast.
other than that working a charm now.

edit: colour scheme really changed, after reboot back to normal.
think i simply stick to the old, standard display mode.

How about the new positioning of panels, is it working as intended?

1.43 beta 1

Panel dragging works perfectly, so awesome.
Taskbar no longer comes up when interacting with TCE :)

Edit: looks like my Personal stats were deleted, not sure if thats from the update.

Some of the scaling seems off @ 2560x1440 tried zoom levels but did not resolve it, i noticed this both with 1.4.2 and 1.4.3.1

wait. one prob noticed:

i was clicking around in the logbook, deleting a stored location, adding a new one (parked ships).
heading back to personal stats i could not click on the statistic page arrows.
after that, the logbook became irresponsible. i could click everywhere with no result.
closing the logbook through the main panel whas the only option.
opened logbook again, could select everything but the personal stats page.
doing that immediately froze the logbook again.

Are you referring to the Personal stats, im wondering if somehow mine were not saved correctly.
When shutting down i select the Control menu then select Exit, and then shutdown ED, is this the recommended shutdown?

yes and yes. did you try your previous version of tce? what was your latest before the update?

1.4.2 was latest and only version, is possible i may have done something wonky last night i was up late playing with TCE.
Ill try reverting and see what comes up.

Looks like the statistics are all correct, it was just Commander name.. ect. that had gone blank.

Scaling is fix in next update. What is gone? Name? Money? Are you able to create a new commander? You can look into the personal.mdb file. All your stats are stored there.
