Abandoned [RELEASE] Trade Computer Extension

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
I actually meant the Star System Database panel - the one that allows you to enter reference stars to arrive at the co-ordinates of a system.
It used to appear every time I entered an Unknown system, but I have just had 3 or 4 Unkknown systems where it didn't appear.

Is the option selected at the Options panel?
 
Okay, here is a exclusiv TEST-VERSION for the redesigned Hotkey feature. Please all test it and give feedback. Thanks

Update (V1.38c) released:
- TEST-VERSION for redesigned Hotkey feature.

Note: Please select a key at the Options panel of TCE, the setup will be adapted, if it works. If you can't select a key, please open the TCE.ini file and enter the hotkey there (like HotKey=F6). Save and restart TCE.


Can't set the hotkey in TCE Setup.xlsm or in the Option panel but when I set it manually in TCE.ini it works again !!!! :)

I love you !
 
So a couple of my scans have the wrong price for Bauxite because I was using an old version of EliteOCR.

Is there a method in the tool to update a commodity price without returning to the station?

If not, can I edit the price in the tce.mdb directly?
 
This app is so far beyond amazing I don't have the words to describe it properly. Repped, donated, hugs and kisses (creepy, I know, but I love it that much).
 
having some crashing with the latest v1.38c Not sure whats going on. http://prntscr.com/6oc6cn

Hmm, as i see, it has to do with your position. Did you was at a recorded station before? What you did before?

You can select the station with the Position panel and then you enter the Commodity panel (look, that the station name is correct) and change the prices. Also you can edit it directly at the database. Check the Good ID for Bauxite and the station ID and look after them at the StationPrices table. I would do it the second way, because i use a newer version atm, where it is possible to change them through TCE for sure.

Also getting a lot of crashes, similiar to baals:

TCE Error 2.JPG
TCE Error.jpg

Has happened on the trade panel, the station panel, the position and destination panels, as well the trade station entry panel. Not all have been the same error or code, but I wasn't able to get screens of those. The one in the SS above happens when clicking the right arrow next to "add unregistered" on the trade station panel. All have been in Diso. Oddly enough, it seemed to work just fine in the frist two systems I used it in, Leesti and CD-34 9020, but I also was not going into all the same panels I was here in Diso.

After getting these a few times, I removed all the TCE files and re-installed (had only gone to two systems, wasn't concerned about losing anything), but it continued to happen. I'm going to remove/re-install again and work off the base 1.38 spreadsheet instead of 1.38c and see if that makes a difference.

edit: 1.38 vs 1.38c doesn't matter, same error - this particular one seems to be happening because I'm clicking the arrow but don't have any stations recorded, so it tries to switch to the "edit" function but finds nothing to edit. Location also doesn't matter, tried it in Leesti and getting the same thing.

edit2: Just got the the same runtime error (13) after opening up and clicking around the destination panel. Here's the debug:

TCE Error 3.JPG

edit3: new runtime error, new debug screen

TCE Error 4.JPGTCE Error 5.JPG

This one happened after saving George Lucas as station. I opened the current station (position panel) selected George Lucas (only option in the list) then clicked the grey arrow to the right of the dropdown field. TCE freezes and presents this error; I have to kill the position panel with the task manager before I can access it.

Updated both my pc's (I play at work sometimes) on my work pc the latest is running fine but on my home pc I can't stop the star info panel popping up at every jump.
 
Another one:

TCE Error 6.JPGTCE Error 7.JPG

Clicking any listed station within the Position Panel Results in that error. If I don't select anything in the panel, I can click Hide to close it with no issue.

edit: I was able to reproduce this multiple times, and then I went in and checked the Destination Panel to see if it was happening there too. No issue there, and when I went back to the Position Panel, no more error - I can select with no crash.

Hi Eventure,

i have something for you to work out. :D If you search your way home for example, and on this route is no known system yet, TCE says wait and never comes back. :D Ok, i waited just 1 hour, but also i couldn't break the search.:p
I'm 3252 Ly away from SOL and just wanted to see this route back to SOL, but forgot that there is no known system for TCE to find a way. :)
 
Hi Eventure
The new release of TCE is excellent.
I am only using it at the moment to widen my database of trade prices, but the tool is doing everything that I need it to do and more on top.
The only outstanding issues that I am hitting are as follows :
1. The problem with EliteOCR occasionally bringing up a black screen - this is usually fixable by either turning debugging on and off again or by restarting TCE
2. On the dropdown fields in TCE, the mousewheel does not scroll the dropdown item selection
3. Occasionally, the Star System database screen does not appear when you enter an "unknown" system
You have done brilliantly with your work on this and I will be putting in an extra donation for all the hard work you have been doing.

Thanks, I have fixed it in the database.

Did you installed the V1.38b on both pc? This version should fix this issue.

1. Dont know, where to pull the plug. IIRC you said, that this issue appears after changing to a multi-monitor setup, right?
2. Found a routine only for Excel 32bit. Excel 64bit crashes, so i decided not to include it to prevent other issues.
3. Yeah, reported early so i made some changes to the detection routine. Next update should fix this issue.

All other issues are noted, will look into.

Yes it's multi monitor. The workaround doesn't take long so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I understand now why the mousewheel routine is not included - good decision.

Thank you for all the updates and responses - extra donation has been paid.
 
I, too, have a multi-mon setup, and no issues with tce (1.38b) or eliteocr whatsoever.
i use (and would recommend) office 32bit though (on win 7 64bit).
most it-lers i talked to would suggest also, office 64 isn't really stable yet.
 
Star system pop up still happening on my home build.

I managed to lock up tce by selecting an unscanned station as my destination. It was a real pain to close as tce was forced on top of everything.

An unregistered station or a station without commodities?
