Great job on continuing with the frequent updates Eventure, but Argh!

Was working fine with Beta 8 since you fixed my DB, but now Beta 10 gives me:

I've just run v10 and when I scan prices in a station the Painite doesn't appear in the list, even though there is a Buy price there. I will have a tinker around with it, to see what it might be. This is a great addition to the game, btw. :)

It took a couple of reboots of TCE, once because the distance to systems column had no numbers in it, but after that the Painite showed up in the "All" list, which it hadn't before, for some reason. Yay!!

Issues regarding ocr are generally to do with ocr it's self. Double check it is the latest version as that has painite in it. Also double check you didn't scroll a little too much before pressing the button and cut off painite in some way so the ocr didn't read it correctly. I also find turning off gui effects in the gfx menu helps the ocr accuracy.
 
Version b10 does not work for me.

When I launch I get this:

With Excel in the background with the message saying that if TCE doesn't launch, macros are not activated. I've checked in the trust center and they are.

When I click OK I get this:

Your Excel seems not up-to-date. Please install all available service packs and updates. Its the progressbar, thats missing on your system. I will change it to a label for better compatibility.

Wow, after a little over a week away, building my machine from scratch, encountering faulty hardware, changing faulty hardware, experiencing BSOD's, reinstalling Windows, I finally got to play yesterday evening and Wow, you've made some really useful changes and I didn't experience any problems that I haven't seen before.

Great Work Eventure.
 
Ok finally got this amazing addon to work....WOW very nicely done Eventure.

The problems I had were mainly caused by OCR failing to update the commodities list and that causing a crash. The reason was TCE is looking for .......\TCE\EliteOCR\bin\EliteOCRcmd.exe. The problem is the latest install of OCR linked on this page has \TCE\EliteOCR\bin\EliteOCR.exe instead. I renamed the file and TCE now runs and updates the list properly.

I had downloaded the TCE installer, Beta10 update & OCR at the same time. A few hrs of headbanging but so worth it.

Indeed, thanks for solving my problem.

I am now able to define a hotkey to hide/unhide TCE and it works. Awesome!

Does that include the extra update on page 1 (Excel 2007 User: Please install this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=23734, if you got an error 1004 at start.) I believe it's a good idea to instal this even if you don't get this particular error, as it resolved a few things for me when I first started using TCE.

I re-installed office from scratch. There must have been something corrupted along the way. It's all good now.
 
Already fixed, see below.

Goretto, How did you fix this, I've re-installed and updated all, rebooted and still same error, but beta1 works, beta10 doesn't?

Tested with Beta's 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 all working too.
Beta 7, strange window still open with excel.
Beta 8, Error message on load up, press ok and it all still appears to work.
Beta 9, Back to normal again, all working as before

Sticking with Beta 9 for now.

Note: I do have the same problem back when using 1.37g though, but I have a work around that's not too much trouble.

As requested, Worox, Can confirm using 64bit too.

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 have now got this working and it is a work of art and fits so well in to the game that it actually feels like part of the game. Great effort, many thanks! Like you I hope Frontier sit up and take note and adopt a similar, supported tool - with full credit to yourself!

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?

Also double check you didn't scroll a little too much before pressing the button and cut off painite in some way so the ocr didn't read it correctly.

Thanks for the tips - that one about the GUI gfx is well worth trying out and it wouldn't have occurred to me. Cheers!

POV in particular if you have modded it to be bigger than the game menu allows it will fail to scan. Max in game should be 60.
 
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

ps.. really bad at inserting pics in forums so apologies if the size is all wrong lol
