Abandoned [RELEASE] Trade Computer Extension

[BennyBoyW]

But now it's not doing that since I went to station Z - I have got no idea what's going on currently and will report back when I have figured it out

Does frontier allow this at all? This seems to change the game alot.

Doesn't change the game at all - it just saves you writing all the prices down

It shows you the margin immediately ... players don't have to look for them.

The tool speed things up ... that itself seems to be unfair play. I am sure frontier

will sound the alarm sooner or later ... or try to make the tool not operate well by

changing in house codes.

Update (V1.37b) released:
- Import of old databases without painite enabled, TCE will add the missing entries.
- Added position info, when in transit.

I would think it more likely that Frontier will be kicking themselves that they didn't think of this first.
It's the year three thousand and something or other - why would I need a pencil and notebook ?

Are you sure they be kicking themselves or kicking this? Anyways good luck on using the tool.

 

[BennyBoyW]

Check the date of the original post - do you think Frontier haven't seen this tool ? It's been running for months.
Download it, enjoy it and pray that Frontier give this guy a job.

FX2K makes a point on this earlier, but read here

I agree. Its a future where people colonize new planets, but you have to use a notepad to write down station trade info?

I will not use this tool for the respect of the original design of the game

by frontier.

There is no mod here, the tool does the same as using pen and paper but it does it directly in the game.
It doesn't even provide any market data that you do not collect yourself,
so in that sense it is much more in the spirit of the game then any of the other tools out there where everybody shares their market data !

But if you do not like it, nobody is forcing you to use it or even to come back to this page !

Enjoy.

Please use the release database and import your old to create a new. If you did that, please tell me, where you get the error.

I kept getting Error 9 after overwiting my folder with V1.37 Full and V1.37b update.

So I deleted everything and started from scratch after having saved my database in a different folder.

Now TCE starts.

But when I try to import I get this :



If i click ok on the above 3 or for times I then get a couple of white checkboxes:


and if I check the boxed and start import I get :





and if I try to start TCE V1.37b with only the 2 station db provided with V1.37 Full I get error 9

Your backup cant be accessed by TCE, perhaps a security issue. UAC is deactivated?

Found your second issue. Please add to the 2 Station database at the Type table a new entry ID: 12 Type: UNSANCTIONED OUTPOST Padsize: M for the moment. Will correct the database asap included at the Full-Version.

Updated the V1.37 Full-Version non-installer and released a new V1.37b Full-Version installer, because blank and 2 Station database misses one stationtype, please reload.

Just tried again with the new V1.37 non installer and Update V1.37b after erasing everything and starting fresh.

TCE starts but the import gives me the exact same errors as before.

1004 a few times the 2 blank checkboxes


Using and saving data to the new db works fine thought !

Please try a new copy of your backup archive or use a different backup to test. Any possibility to upload your database, so i can try it?

Yeah I've already tried a few older backups and I get the same errors

I've sent you a private message with the dropbox download link for the mdb I just tried to import.
The backup was made 2015-03-14 10h27 before I upgraded to V1.37 Full for the first time.
So I was on V1.37 Beta 4 at the time and mostly everything was working ok.

 

[BennyBoyW]

I am totally confused.
I just tried the new version and tried to import the old database. I had to end the task after the import because the "Success" message was behind the Import Database window.
It said it was successful but I cannot see any of my saved exploration progress or stations.
Can you advise as I cannot use TCE currently.

About 8 min left before upload is completed.
I'll send you a private message with the dropbox download link for the mdb I just tried to import.

Thanks, I try the import with it and if all works i send it you back.

Did you saw at the Import Windows any adds of Trade Stations (like Trade Station: +x)?

1: It doesn't make the game quicker, not for me as I don't usually pick something because of trade profit, that's a secondary goal for me.

2: This tool has been around for month's so if FDEV had a problem with it they would have done so. They haven't done so as it's perfectly fine to use tools.

3: FDEV are even creating API's to help tool makers even more. They actively encourage player made tool's.

4: Everything recorded is your data, unlike other's that are crowd scourced, FDEV have no problems with thouse tools either. Have you gone into thouse forums as well to state this is cheating?
