Abandoned [RELEASE] Trade Computer Extension

[punkerich]

there seems to be one more bug in the trade panel. trade scout finds a route, but i can't find the destination station in the trade panel,
not even in the drop-down list for stations. i can see another station in the same system, so it can't be a range-related thingy.
how to circle that in?

Hi !
Awesome work Eventure. The best mod for ED i've seen so far. It gaves me a regain of interest for the game as i have to travel to construct a good DB.

However, beta10 doesn't work for me neither and i have the same problem than Goretto (and it seems mearmortal now). I use a 64bits version of Excel 2010 and after internet researches, it seems that the ProgressBar only exists in 32 bits library and cannot be loaded on a 64 bits version. My Office is up to date and Access Runtime X64 installed. TCE previous versions launches well. Only beta10 crashes with this error message (i don't screenshot it because it's in french and i don't know if it will be useful to you). I suppose i have to downgrade until this is fixed. Continue the work, you're very talented and really deserve more than the little donation i'm about to do

@ mearmortal, could you please confirm you're using 64bits version of Office ?

I removed the progressbar, dont know, that is a problem for 64bit versions.

I have a couple of questions:

Is the logbook only for the current session? Would it be possible to have a permanent logbook of systems we've been too, with the facility to clear it if needed?

Is my mouse wheel supposed to work where you have a scroll bar, e.g. in the Cartography section as it's not at the moment but would be handy if it did?

Are you considering storing Rares as well? It would be very handy if they were recorded and could be searched for.

Sorry, one more thing Eventure and I know it's outside the scope of your current tool, but would it be possible to store a record of kills, i.e. who and how much they were worth?

Atm, the logbook is only for this session, but that will change, when the new Personal Logbook panel will be released (i need some time for it, but i made some progress).

As i know, mouse wheel works only for 32bit versions, so i decided to not implent this.

Rares are not supported now, but this will come at a later date.

This can be realized with the Personal Logbook panel, when its released.

Also if I select a different line in the Logbook with my mouse it returns the following error (using the latest version)

Getting some error '9's
seems to be when I select a station that is not currently already set as the destination station. Either by clicking on the destination station box or in the lower right box of the trade window.

sorry for the ugly screen shot, I had to hold the alt tab keys down and take a pic of it with my phone to get the debug window to show otherwise everything is blocked by the TCE trade window

Found and fixed for the next release.

there seems to be one more bug in the trade panel. trade scout finds a route, but i can't find the destination station in the trade panel,
not even in the drop-down list for stations. i can see another station in the same system, so it can't be a range-related thingy.
how to circle that in?

If you search a route at the Trade Scout panel, click at preview. Didnt it showed up there? Also, i think you mean Destination panel, not Trade panel. At the Trade panel there is no dropdown for stations.

Need more info from you, perhaps you can tell me step by step, what you have done (PM me) and give me your database, to recontruct it.

 

[punkerich]

dest. panel, sure. now i went to that station, the act. position showed accordingly. i then ticked / unticked black market and saved again, scanned the market. now it shows up.
i'll be doing researches in case i find other stations who won't show up.

Full-Version (V1.38) released:
- New TCE Setup to make the TCE.ini file for TCE (paths, language and hotkey)
- Some bugfixes to runtime errors (Shiplog panel, Trade panel, Splash screen)
- Different optimizations to the core code
- Removed Import button from Option panel
- Fixed ShipLog Panel stays hidden (when it was visible before), when unhide TCE
- Commodity Panel: Added choice to reset price data or update only
- Added selectable UI Color (Options panel)
- New startup routine to support an empty (no registered stations and prices) database, which is the default database from now on.
- Better recognition of your position in space.
- Hotkey issue: added a clear keyboard buffer, when hotkey was pressed.
- Database panel fixes, to prevent type-missmatch errors, when entering values.
- Delayed Star System Summary panel pop up, when jumping (10-15 secs.).
- Core redesign to fit the needs for further expansions of TCE and in preparation of the Elite-API.
- New Trade Station Name searchbox at the Position and Destination panel, adjusted sizes to reduce overlapping text.
- New Trade Station Service searchbox at the Trade panel, Find Commodity UI adjusted, use the arrow buttons to select search mode and some small fixes to Trade Range and Jump Limit.
- Commodity panel now clears all prices before scanning, when reaching a trade station to prevent issues with previous commodities, that are currently not available and added the activation of the Main panel before screenshot is taken.
- Bugfix to Trade Scout panel Pre-View function.
- Cartography panel: Click on the name of the star system, you are in to show up the Star System Summary panel and a small fix to the Star System Note panel to prevent save issues, when textbox is empty.

Note: This version release has no update, because TCE needs a new TCE.ini file and has now a standalone setup to make one. Full database compability to all V1.38 beta versions, so copy your V1.38 beta database (TCE.mdb and Panel.mdb) into the new versions DB folder.

I removed the progressbar, dont know, that is a problem for 64bit versions.

You mean, you removed it for the next version ?

I searched about it and that was the only answer i found on numerous websites.
So i'll post my beta10 screenshots and translate them in case you need them :

Spoiler

"Impossible to load object because it is not present on this computer (this message appears twice)."

Then :

Spoiler

"Compilation error : method member or data not found."

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your answer.

Hi,
I have no problems with beta 10 working all seems to work as it should..

Eventure, is it possible that when using trade scout to work out a bidirectional route that the via stations appear on the return route at the moment they show on the outward but not on return (well not without going back into trade and search route.
it would of course be the same via as on outward so it has already worked it out..
cheers.

Eventure,

Same error message for me Office 2013 64bit, did you remove the progressbar from this new release?

regards

BTW: Like the new set-up program works a treat, and Thanks for fixing Kanur.

Yes, i did. I see, there is a new refer to a module in TCE. Will kill it and release a new version soon.

Update (V1.38a) released:
- Startup issue because of beta progressbar removed.

Note: I found a bug in the database (Stars table). There are a double entry for STAR ID 18285. Please change the ZOSMA star system (ID 18285) to ID 18284. I suggest to change this. V1.38 databases (non-beta) are not affected, only pre V1.38 versions.

 

[punkerich]

two things with 1.38 full:

- system summary popping up even if unticked
- current pos. not updating correctly (when landed at station, always showing 'near body xx' in that system

pm'ed you the dest. error and link to db, perhaps it is something with my database.

Thnaks, please check, if the station body ID is the same, as Current Position says.

Found the issue with the Summary panel. Changes not saved to the ini, please change it at the ini directly, till next update.

Exactly the same here too, also on Office 2013 64bit.


WoW things are moving fast. will try V1.38a and report back

You need to slow down and play the game....

I've booked marked that, as I'm reinstalling everything again as I'm still having BSOD's. I've got new memory, as I believe the current set is faulty, but I'll install stuff then do some soak tests first. Lets see when the BSOD's start.

ALSO

SERIOUSLY: You need to slow down and play the game....

Eventure,
You've out done yourself, My Hat off to you Sir!!!

Nicely done with the progress Bar, I can confirm that with Office 2013 64bit, 1.38a works.
You've also fixed the find commodity in the trade window, selecting station, thankyou, I've been waiting for that one.

 

[punkerich]

body id was indeed different, changed it by hand, position showed up accordingly.
changed position by hand to something else to see if that particular station would show up under dest. panel, but it doesn't.

 

[Bragolatch]

Also with V1.38a update?

Nope, V1.38a starts perfectly, loading bar and all !

Still can't set the Hide Hotkey in the setup or in the options panel.
and it doesn't work even if I set it manually in the newly created TCE.ini

but the DATABASE - STARS and the paste function both work perfectly again !

Perhaps the last update of ED changed the body ID.
