Abandoned [RELEASE] Trade Computer Extension

[knightwolf]

Ok, Got through the first issue. It was the FOV. The Debug gave me an error for the resolution. After fixing that I then shows Procecessing-Please wail and never completes. No errors in debug, only shows c:\users\myname\documents\my games\game rools\Elite dangerous\TCE\EliteOCR>
There is also a file in the OCR_export now.

If you changed your FOV, I suggest going through the learning steps for Elite OCR. It should help.

You have to close the debug window to continue, or, because there are no errors in the debug window anymore, deactivate it.
Otherwise as Abil Midena suggested, please train EliteOCR.

I retrained EliteOCR.But this time I noticed that Excel is getting a run time error and ask if I want to debug. This is what shows when I debug.

Help request:
The translation of TCE to french and russian language is incomplete at the moment, i need your help in finishing the gap here, because i can't speak/write french or russian.
If you like to help, please fill up the missing translations at the Language.mdb file, mainly the Interface table text. I have done the translation as far as i can, but please check the translations present at the file, if they are correct.
Please send me your translations and i will include them asap to the next beta versions.
To try your translations yourself, to check, if they fit into the current interface, please change the TCELanguage entry at the TCE.ini file to 'fre' for french or 'rus' for russian manually.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you for your hard work!

Returning ED player here...
Probably many have asked this...
I looked in faq..
But..without reading 230+ pages...
Can someone direct me to the answer please.

All the data used here either comes from our own exploring and saving of trade information or from elite ocr?

Ocr being a scanning of the trade screen and uploading to a central database?

Which I assume is only as good as the amount of traders using the utility and uploading recent data?

This, combined with ocr, is something similar to sloppy old program?

All the data comes from your own input, either maually or by using Elite OCR to scan the commodity data when you visit stations.

There is no centralised database. The database is your own sourced data on your own pc. It will be unique to you.

It is possible to share the data with friends using the FTP option I believe, but I don't think many people use this.

If I'm flying around the universe... Not often visiting the same ports... How good will my data stay relevant?

Also depends on how long ago you collected that data and if it's a popular trade route.

However I've just come back to the game after a 4 month hiatus and I'm not seeing vastly different trade prices.

Good to hear from you again, missed your input

I made the same observations as you.

Edit:
Nevermind.
Fixed my problem.

Seems that OCR Scan takes a few swipes to get all the commodities.
It also ignores Rares. Is this normal?
Or maybe because they are highlighted.
(34" monitor at 3440x1440)



Next question.
I have a long list of Ports.. yet.. they have no data.
Is this normal?
The only one that has data is the one that I am at.. and scanned in with OCR.

Have you trained Elite OCR? You need to train Elite OCR to reduce and pretty well eliminate errors - although not entirely. It takes a little time to train Elite OCR but well worth it: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=68771 And yes, you can only scan 1 page of commodities at a time, so a full input of all commodities will take several scan "swipes" as you call them. Elite OCR first takes an image of the current displayed Commodities "page" and then does its scan work on that image so you need several page images to get all the commodities images for scanning.

Rares are not scanned. You can enter them in the Station DB when you add the Station details.

TCE comes with a lot of Station names included but no Station details or Commodity Market information. You have to visit the Station, fill in the details for the Station DB - such as Type, Distance to Star, Allegiance, Economy, Facilities available at the Station and Rares if any. Then you scan in the Commodity Data - assuming you have a Commodity Market at the Station.

I can use the stand-alone elite ocr to make my ocr within TCE work better?

I seem to get a mixture of red x's and green checks with TCE (when scanning the screen)
Also quite a bit of errors and shutdowns with the program add a whole. But I guess it's still in beta...

I'm mostly a rare trader.. But was looking for something to help full up my holds from port to port.

The seemed like something good to try.

How/where can I setup/join something to share my port data with others?

Also..
the only way to fill up all these stations with data is to fly there and scan with OCR (or manually) enter the data??

Shouldn't the OCR data get uploaded somewhere?
and
shouldn't TCE be able to use all this information? (So all this data isn't blank)

Just trying to get TCE running. Thanks to the guide from Yokai I was able to add a Station to it. But now I run in a Problem with EliteOCR.

Errorlog:

Can anyone give me a hint in the right direction, please?

Interface language and Elite Dangerous Game Language are both set to german in TCE.

Hi and thanks for your report.

I found the issue and i will release a fix for it today. You can bypass the bug by selecting english as your game and OCR language for the moment.

Thanks for the answer.
You're fast

I just found the cause for the error, started EliteOCRcmd.exe in a console with "EliteOCRcmd.exe -i Screenshot.bmp -o result.xml -s "Test System" -l ger -t" and got the very same result.

Looking Forward to the hotfix.

Hi, me again.

Played a little bit with TCE, just looked around to get the Panels all to a Position on Screen I can cope with.
And stunbled upon a few, äh, hiccups.

Opening Database -> Starsystem, I get an out of bounds error:


Switching to the compact view in Tradegoods Panel, I also get an out of bounds error:


Hope the screenshots help you.
