New bug

Deleting a note from a Star System
(clicked the note box, backspace until the cursor is all the way to the left, click Save)
give this error again:

View attachment 22899View attachment 22898

But clicking ok on the admin login seem to complete the process successfully.
The note is gone and TCE is still running !

(UAC is Off)

The "deleted" note actually came back when I restarted TCE.

One question to all:

I plan to reorganize the main panel in some way, that further functions and panels can be easier implented. Here my idea:

- Increasing width of both Position and Destination displays, to fit better extreme long names of stations and stars.
- Moving all buttons to one side (left or right, i didnt know) top down listed with expanding sub-buttons.

How do you feel about this?

For me personally SHIP LOGBOOK and CARTOGRAPHY could be moved into OPTIONS, and then give that space to widen the star/station information.

Have you thought about doing something like this if it gets too long?

That way you have double the space for the long ones.
Could be an easy solution by just replacing the : with vbCrLf and changing the font size as you already do today.

I second that motion !

That would make 2 buttons on each side instead of 3, giving you the space to increase the size and keeping the symmetry for the looks :)

Reducing the font as in the pic for the long ones would also be a good solution, It doesn't happen that often and might be easier then moving the buttons around !

I have been using TCE with the commodities screen over the primary display and no issues today with EliteOCR so it all looks very positive :)

Here a proposal for the new UI:
Minimized:
closed.JPG
Opened
Stars.JPG
Station.JPG
Wares.JPG

Summery:
1. Obscure less
2. Bigger Position/Destination panel
3. Repetitive mouse movements
4. Full access to all buttons at once
5. Easier to code
6. Possible separation of menu buttons and Position/Destination panel (no more top/down menu handling, independent positioning)
7. Easier to expand

Perhaps i can deliever a test version with this new UI. But please lets discuss this UI to find the best, intuitive layout.

Good to hear. I will add a codeline, that will activate the main panel before making the screenshot. So make a test in returning the Commodity panel to your side monitor, when i release the V1.38 beta 1 at weekend.

Side question to all, who had problems with the hotkey function: Did you use 64bit Excel version?

Well, that looks promising.
Impatiently waiting for the beforementioned fixes for this version, though.
For the next, take your time for the overhaul, don't rush it.
You achieved so much in the last weeks, it's astounding.
Take a drink, play the game, or get quality time with your girlfriend/wife/kids(?).
It is a game, after all.

And, let me tell you, as soon as the next version reaches a stable state, you're in for another donation.
:D
You are exactly what this community needs!

Just back after 7 weeks of exploring and just installed the latest version.

I've started again from scratch and when scanning my first station, the new mineral, Painite, which has a listed sell price of 36,098 is not being added to the TCE database.

Excel 2010 64 bit.

You have to add PAINITE to EliteOCR for correct recognition. As you see, Bauxite has its price.

Second bug...

Tried to use the 'HIDE' button in the CONTROL panel but it was missing. Selected options and set a hot key to hide/show.

Now this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhjeZbYuRXQ is happening, The Panel buttons as rotating every second.

Thanks for posting, there is an issue, as you can see, but not for all. I think its only 64bit version of Excel. I work on it. For now, please remove the hotkey selection from the ini, so it shows Hotkey=

Hey was wondering if any one know a place where a good updated version of TCE.mdb is floating around on the net or any one have a version that is well updated ?
I just started using this, and therefore i have 0 date collected yet :( So it would really help a lot, or any of the other databases needed for it :)

How do I add Painite to EliteOCR?

I had NO problem with the hotkey function, Excel 2013 64bit here.

About the new UI, all seems good too me, especially if #6 goes through! (Maybe there could be a Left/Right version for the menu submenus?)

No stress but have you thought about the option to change color? I always start by adding my little hack but would be nice to not have to do that. ;)
I'll gladly help out with code if you want some more ideas.

Sub EDLog_auslesen()

Excel / tce.xlsm keeps crashing to Debug mode on the Sub EDLog_auslesen function.

The issue persists even after shutting down excel.exe and restarting.

I think that this is related to the field type you are using. It runs out of space to parse the log file after ED is open for too long.

To fix this problem, I have to restart EliteDangerous.exe

I believe doing that resets NetLog and allows TCE to read it into the ArNetLog(20000) variable


Sub EDLog_auslesen()

Dim z As Long, textline As String

Open EDLogPath For Input As #1
z = 0
ReDim ArNetLog(20000) As String
Do Until EOF(1)
z = z + 1
Line Input #1, textline
DoEvents
ArNetLog(z) = textline
Loop
Close #1
EDLog_AzGesamt = z
If TCEStart = True Or EDLogPath <> ActualNetFile Then
EDLog_AzVerarbeitet = 0
EDLog_AzStatus = 0
LastStarID = 0
LastBodyID = 0
ActualNetFile = EDLogPath
End If

End Sub

Also using Excel 2013 x64 and no problem with the hotkey at all, Works great for me here !!!

I've use V1.37g for a few hours now and it been great.
No major crash or error other then the few minor bugs reported here, in the previous page.

Loving it, Thanks !!!
