Hi! Merry Xmas to all of you!

I truly appreciate all the time you have been put in this program, Eventure, and I can say I find yours the best tool I have seen for Elite:Dangerous.

I was using it before last patch came out and it worked fine but now, as of 1.5 and 64-bit version I can't see the exports commodities and trade advisor on my current station. Also I can't use Route Finder or Route Planner and I guess it must be because of this. My System Language is Spanish but I use E:D and TCE on English. What may be happening and should I do something to fix it?

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!:)

Hi all, Merry Xmas.

Hoping someone may be able to help but the Current Location doesn't seem to update for me as I travel. It will update by restarting the game but it doesn't do it on the fly.

Anyone know how to fix please?

Thanks in advance! :)

Read back a few pages/posts and you will see there are problems with EliteOCR under Horizons. Manual entry of commodity supply is required for the moment until we get the new .net version from Eventure or a new version of EliteOCR.

Thanks Rob, I had a look and all my settings seemed right and I had started it before Elite so I just went ahead and re-installed and its now working fine.

Appreciate the support.

Are you implying Eventure will be replacing the need to use EliteOCR with his own code the save commodity prices. Cause if this is true you have just made my Christmas brighter:D. The time/support he lavishes on us is priceless and our time spent playing this game is better because of it.

Merry Christmas Eventure

NOPE, that won't be the case, the .Net version will still be using EliteOCR and unless that get's some love we'll be stuck with manually entering the stock amounts.

Well, you may know more than me bAdbUd, but I thought Eventure had hinted in 2 posts there may be other options he was considering to EliteOCR:

"Wrote seeebek a PM, perhaps he will recognize it. Otherwise till the release of the .net version, we didn't get the supply values, so we have to enter them. The new version will have an alternative to EliteOCR, but it will be nonetheless still important."

and subsequently:

"I will check OCR alternatives, but didn't have much time, because I want to push the .net version to be beta-ready. I included an alternative there already. "

I wish I was still a decent software developer as I would have taken on the OCR challenge.
But alas, it takes me an age to write even basic code nowadays.
I hope some way forward is found because I just spent a loooong while doing a single station and I cannot face the thought of doing that for every station that I use.

So basically either;
1) the OCRguru come back and fixes EliteOCR...
2) or a NEW code needs to be modified...
3) or we get the powers that be over at Frontier to allow the data to be updated on a use by use the same as is being done by the gamers when EliteOCR was working

Having made a copy to update the database and adding all undefined stations, as stated in the manual.. I get a: run-time error "9"
I assume your own database is too big to fit?

You will have to wait for Eventure to come back from holidays to answer that one, but he will need the code line that causes the error to answer you. See earlier posts as to how to get that error line from the VBA/Excel error that comes up.

After quite a hassle I managed to get it working for regular ED 64bit. From the description, this looks like it'll be a very useful program!

edit: after quite some more hassle, I've added the stations I needed for my trading. Currently being blocked by subscript out of range (error 9) with no option to debug since it's not the usual window that appears. It comes up when I click Trade route planner and double click a station listed.

edit2: If I alt+tab alt+f4 the window it gives error 13 "type mismatch" with the debug option.
>> Run-time error '13': Type Mismatch

edit3: Ha! managed to get a screenshot.

edit4 (28/12/2015): EliteOCR is having trouble with 1s but overal, neat program! So far I haven't had much use for it but once this trade route dies, I know what to do :D

Hi, im just found this handy tool but i have one question about it.
There is an Cert file an a Batch inside the installer. My issue with that is, its going to be installed as an ROOT Certificate! This is a HUGE Security issues cause it can be used for man in the middle attacks.

Is there ANY good reason for doing this? its not only installed as an root cert, its also installed as CA, make this even more suspicious.

Anyone can check this, extract the TCE_setup.exe with 7zip or other and check prestart.bat.

Can anyone explain why its nessesary to installed an selfsign certificate as an ROOT Cert?

Code: 
:importCertTP
verify >nul
certutil.exe -store trustedpublisher | findstr "Trade Computer Extension" 
IF '%ERRORLEVEL%'=='0' goto importCertLocal
verify >nul
certutil.exe -addstore -f "TrustedPublisher" "TCE.cer"
goto importCertLocal


:importCertLocal
verify >nul
certutil.exe -store CA | findstr "Trade Computer Extension" 
IF '%ERRORLEVEL%'=='0' goto importCertRoot
verify >nul
certutil.exe -addstore -f "CA" "TCE.cer"
goto importCertRoot


:importCertRoot
verify >nul
certutil.exe -store root | findstr "Trade Computer Extension" 
IF '%ERRORLEVEL%'=='0' goto installFont
verify >nul
certutil.exe -addstore -f root "TCE.cer"
goto installFont

Just a thought. Probably missed it in the 280 pages worth of posts, but would it be possible or am i missing this option... To import csv files created by Elite Dangerous Market Connector?

EDMC doesn't list TCE as an export option, right? I don't see any import option in TCE either so I don't think it's possible.

Yeah i cant find an import anywhere. But EDMC does export a generic csv with all the market, shipyard and outfitting information. Just wondering if there was a way to add it. It would certainly be strong option to OCR.

Edit. TCE is using simple access databases. I might take a look at the structure tonight and see if I can't build a little importer function. Unless this is something they plan on adding.
