Abandoned [RELEASE] Trade Computer Extension

I did some tests a while back and noticed that there was no stuttering if I ran ED from a ramdrive. I had verbose logging on so that would make sense if the stuttering was somehow caused by the disk writes, or maybe just having the file open... dunno...

Ninjad :) Wanted to test it from RAM drive too (i'm on only SSD disks).... good to hear that RAM drive works better then! :D
 
very cool tool.. thanks for all the hard work... tried it on Excel 2010.. runs for a few mins, then gives a run time error & has to close... hope you get it working with other versions soon, thanks again.
 
Auto-Destination and Commodities depends on your position. What shows your position? it is correct?

Installed now on my SSD, it's still stuttering, so the problem must be somewhere else. But the stutters have nothing to do with your tool anyway.

As soon i start up TCE it shows this:
TCE_error_13.jpg


Also note: The 13 error appears if i first click on Cartography and then on Commodity OR if i click twice on Cartography.

Thx for the shot, that help. Are you sure you added the VerboseLogging entry into the appconfig.xml ?

Your position was not recognised.

Yup. I am a programmer as well, so i know how these things work, there is definetly not an typo or anything similar in the appconfig.xml.

ED also creates correctly the .log files in the Log folder. (there is no error inside the logs).

I can reproduce your error, when i am deleting the verboselogging. Did you write it correctly (VerboseLogging="1")? There must be the problem. The log was always written from ED, but with the VerboseLogging entry, Netlog shows your current star system with body number too.

My proposal is, please start ED till you are ingame. Close it and post the netlog here.

I can confirm, without VerboseLogging = 1 i have zero stutters. But as soon i add it the stutters are there constantly.

IMHO, this must be a system specific problem. I noticed that VerboseLogging was already set to 1 on my system (maybe because I use Slopey's ?) and have never seen an issue on my boxen.
 
Would have loved it, if it worked for me. Alas, I'm getting "Compile error in hidden module" for Panel_DB_Stars and Panel_DB_Import when using Excel 2013.

OMG....

I copy/pasted the line from your 1st post in this thread, to make sure there are not any typos.

Know what happened? In the AppConfig.xml it showed up as (look at the double quotes):

VerboseLogging=”1”

but correctly would be:

VerboseLogging="1"


Now it runs! stupid me, but it's actually easy to overlook!!!
Thanks for your help :p

Fine, your are welcome.
 
So to anyone who copy/pasted the line like me and is getting the 13 runtime type mismatch error, make sure the double quotes are "1" instead of ”1” in your AppConfig.xml !
 
this looks great,... Elite Dangerous should have something like this built in....wish I had excel 2007 ;(.... could you make a version for open office? everyone can get that for free .

OpenOffice lacks on functionallity with VBA, so i cant. I hope FD introduce something similar too, so the support is on there side, not on my :)

I see some offers on the bay for less than 20 Euro for Office 2007. Perhaps i should call Microsoft for a special Elite Dangerous salery of Office 2007.

Been trying to get this working for half an hour and having overcome the MS rubbish macro auth have still not been able to get this going. Have tried v1.05 & 1.06 but end up with Compile error in hidden module Panel_DB_Stars closely followed by Compile error in hidden module Frame_Access.

When the teething problems are out of the way this looks to me as if it is going to be brilliant. Thanks for your efforts.
 
Alright so i am testing your tool currently.

Got an "out of index" error.
I added a new station, then in the COMMODITY window i changed the COMMODITY DISPLAY to "SHOW ECOMONY BASED", after i click the left arrow of the "CATEGORY" dropdown i get the "out of index" error.

Another error, again "type mismatch 13", added some numbers in the COMMODITY for the station, as soon i click "SAVE" i get the type mismatch error. After i have this done, i keep getting the "type mismatch" error on TCE startup which forces me to reinstall TCE.

The first error comes, because a refinery has not been recorded yet, so eco-based commods didnt exists. i will lock the commod display, till there is a record in next version. By now, dont change the display till its automatic select by TCE.

The second i have to investigate, But i think its a similar issue, as the first.
 
I'm really liking the look of this, and had it finally loading up but it crashes every time within a minute or two... Just found out after reading several pages that it doesn't work with 2013... :(

Any idea when it will be 2013 ready?

Also what made you decide to do it in excel and not something like .NET ?

I do VBA programming with excel and access for many years. I am not familiar with other languages. I didnt own Office 2013 so i cant support it. Thanks to Microsoft, that Office 2013 didnt have a compability mode to older versions of Office.
On Excel 2007 it runs really fine, so i couldnt image that fundamental incompabilities to newer versions. So i think, if i make it run for Excel 2013, other Excel version have other problems like Excel 2013 now.

I release an update (V1.07) now, it fixes an error in the Commodity Panel. You cant change Display Commodities, as long as enough records of similar economies are recorded (minimum one of each type).
