Abandoned [RELEASE] Trade Computer Extension

[eventure]

I'm having a really annoying problem at the moment - every OCR scan fails and just produces a black screenshot - no idea why.
I just updated my graphics drivers - is that a possible issue ?

You had it again like your post here? Try to ask at the EliteOCR Thread. Perhaps, it is your driver or setup of it, you are using tripple displays?

 

[BennyBoyW]

Yeah same problem but a reboot has not helped

Yes I am using triple displays - seems to have caused a lot of issues for me - very frustrating

Try to use only one display for a test run.

EliteOCR on its own works fine - I just do not get it.
How does TCE decide where to take a screenshot from ?

 

[BennyBoyW]

My brain hurts ! I turned OCR debug on and it now works fine - I have no idea what is going on

Issues

Version 1.37e
Office 2010 Pro

Issue 1:

When changing the "Selected Destination" the "New Destination" screen show's profits in the negative, and due to which they don't match the "Trade Information" Screen.

See Screenshots.

ADDITIONAL:

I just landed at an Extraction/Refinery, added station data and scanned commodities and then the route planned was to an Agricultural world. This is obviously inccorect as I can go to many places and sell PALLADIUM, as can be seen in the screenshots below. I manually selected a station from my dataset.

At first I thought I was seeing things, took me awhile to realise something was wrong.

Did you imported your database, or is it the one, i sent you?

I was using the db you sent me first, then after seeing this problem I Imported an older db and experienced the same problem.

Importing was successful, and TCE quite automatically. I selected all stations

I've tried replacing (I didn't import them) the new db with ones from up to 4 days ago and I have the same problem. So at the moment it's not looking like a db issue.

Issue 2:

I'm unable to change "Current Station" I used to be able too, but now when I click the box I get the "Star System Summary" screen

Sorry, i forgot to mention, its temporary disabled. I connected it with the Star System Summary panel. However, its a relic from the early days to TCE, where no auto position recognition was possible. Please tell, why we should preserve it?

I want to transform it into a more detailed position information.

Ah, no worries then.

TCE takes the hole screen resolution in account. There is no selection of a monitor.

TCE takes the whole screen resolution in account. There is no selection of a monitor.

I'm not sure that is true, as I had a similar problem:

I had something similar, two things caused my issue.

1: POV was set higher than the game options menu allows, set it to lower than maximum, save and then set it back to maximum.

2: Make sure your monitor were TCE shows is set as the Primary monitor otherwise TCE will be taking a screenshot of the Primary monitor that doesn't have the Commodities menu shown on it. AT least that's what I thought caused the problem as changing that resolved the issue.

Okay, i will use your database too. I will check the problem.

Ah, okay, its a routine, that i got from an excel forum. As i can see and understood, it gets the X and Y dimensions of the screen. I suppose, thats the hole screen resolution, perhaps i misunderstood it. Thanks for clarification.

I'm going to start a new install, with a 2 station db, and conduct a variety of tests. Hopefully one test will resolve the issue, but as luck usually has it, it will be the last test I perform.

If you're able to replicate that'd be brilliant.

However one bit of possible pertinent information was at the system I started at I entered in 5 new stations which would have been Trading to an Agricultural World, so the problem could have been happening then. However I didn't spot the issue until I got to my next system, as details above.

NO worries, I'm actually a Test Manager, so its my job to figure stuff out.

So at the moment it's not looking like a db issue.

Found the issue, its the calculation function. Will be fixed soon.

 

[BennyBoyW]

Good news from me - I am now happily using 1.37e and I am almost back to where I was on Saturday.
Thanks for all the help to all who helped

What fixed it. POV change or setting of Primary Monitor?

Ah cool, so I'm not going mad then. Ah well it'll alow me sometime to play with the import now.

Cheers

You can select the file, but when clicking on OPEN, you got the error, is that right?

Stop, please open the TCE.mdb, you want to import. You can see on the left the tables. There are names like "Stars" or "IMPStars"? If names like "IMPxxxxx", please use a backup of your database, that have not "IMPxxxxx" names in it, or rename them. Here are the list of all table names, that are required for importing:

Stars
Stations
StationPrices
Goods

Yes thats right. Checked Db and as you point out 3 table names have been prefixed with 'IMP'. Is this something which TCE does as part of the import process?

Will try to do as you suggest and use a backup. Bit too late to try for tonight, I'll give it a go after work tomorrow.

It seems to me it is hiding/unhiding. But I really don't know what it could be. I already connected another keyboard, mouse and disconnected everything else from usb just to narrow it down. No success.

I am having the same problem.
TCE keeps hiding/unhiding even after last update (1.37e) regardless the hotkey.

It fixed when I went into TCE options and set OCR debug to "On".
No idea why this would be but now that it's working I don't dare change anything.
I can confirm that I never went below 3 monitors and I didn't change the FOV setting or resolution.
Very weird !

 

[ArakAtak]

Mine has all been functioning perfectly with almost no crashes.

I added Painite into Elite OCR as described a few pages back but it still seems to confuse it with Bauxite most of the time.
The other problem is I now have two Painites in my wares list. I think I added at a station before I added it to Elite OCR and once again afterwards. I cant figure out how to delete one.

That setting is always OFF when TCE starts so you'll need to re-enable it each time.

Happy your issues sorted though.

You cant, please use a backup, before added painite twice. And check after enter Painite into EliteOCR, if it was in the list. Have to add it more than one time, before EliteOCR get it.

What Excel version you are using?

Eventure,
Found an error 13 for you, type mismatch, code stopped on the pointer shown.

As a result of selecting trade, followed by commodity search, selecting Palladium, resulting in listing 6 or so buying stations.
Selecting the first one in the list, and waiting for the destination system to be displayed, did not show this system, but poped up an error window with the error listed.
Here's the screenshot:

Hope this is enough info for you, you have the database you fixed earlier it's almost identical.
