Abandoned [RELEASE] Trade Computer Extension

Ryonez · Jul 16, 2015

I've just started to use this, and I have to say it's amazing!

Just one thing throwing me off atm..

Is there a refuel/repair/munitions log anywhere? At the moment I'm manually changing my Credit Balance.

tested and can't confirm this error, all working fine on my end. do you have the latest eliteocr installed (0.7)? but i really think it has to do with your database, something fubared in it.
or did you change your resolution, fov, or hud colours lately? but nothing out of this would generate a db error...

edit: i recommend testing a fresh db. TCE makes backups of your data, on a daily basis in the backup folder. so nothing to lose. just to iron it out.

I'll give it a try tonight once I get off work. Thank you for the help.

Edit: Running 0.7 eliteOCR and have made no changes before trying to update 1.43 to 1.44.[/QUOTE]

Did an uninstall and install of a fresh 1.44 updated to 1.44b. Everything works like intended. So apparently my DB was corrupted. Now that I have a fresh DB how do I restore all my data from 1.43? Any detailed instructions would be much appreciated.

i doubt we will see something like this. you would be more into organizing yourself than actually playing the game.
when an official api is released, this could make sense, but for now...

try to use the TDM, usage is described in the OP, bottom section. it's fail-safe and self-explanatory. you can do it anytime, it doesn't change your old data.

Eventure, found a little error:

when previewing a bidirect. trade route, the import / export panels show the same data for both stations.
trade advisor outgoing / returning is fine.

Hi there,

I really love this program!!! Only I have one big problem. Whenever I access the trade scout, the program has started crashing. I can go into bidirectional and write my search criteria, but when I press search, TCE crashes and gives me a runtime error 9. It also crashes in the trade route planner, only I get a runtime error 7 here

I have windows 7 ultimate and excel 2007

Here from the bidirectional
View attachment 50259

Here from the trade route planner:

I hope you can help me. I'd really like to get this fantastic program working.

Best regards
Smoelken

Run time error 9

I think I messed up my previous post. Here we go again with some more info.

I get the "run time error 9, subscript out of range" almost every time I try to access the bidirectional and the trade route creator.

Here are some shots:

I like the program very much. I hope you can help me.
I have got excel 2007 and I've tried reinstalling TCE with no change.

Best regards

are you using the latest build, 1.44b?

I can see what you mean, but the groundwork is already there. As I'm logging things already, it'd be really nice to log spendings as well.

I still can't believe E: D doesn't feature some ingame trading tools ... this is ridiculous to a point I'm at a complete loss of words ....

ringus · Jul 17, 2015

Sorry, I hope I am being a bit dim. I love this tool so much!!! but one thing I cant do is to search for a good's location. i.e return all stations which stock a specific good.

Have I just not worked out how to do this? Many thanks

Open the Trade panel and you will find a dropdown menu at the mid bottom, where you can select the good, you want to look after. After selecting press the red arrow button to see the results. You can also select, if you want to search the best sell or buy price for the good.

found an error, after saving non-loop route and modifying afterwards i got a runtime 6:

If RouteName = "" Then
If RouteReady = False Then
Me.Frame9.Caption = " TRADE STATION ROUTE REGISTER [UNNAMED]"
Else
For a = 1 To AzTradeReg
s = s + Ar_TradeReg(a, 10)
Next a
If SetLoop = True Then
s = Round(s / AzTradeReg, 0)
Else
If AzTradeReg = 1 Then
s = 0
Else
s = Round(s / (AzTradeReg - 1), 0)
End If
End If
Me.Frame9.Caption = " TRADE STATION ROUTE REGISTER [UNNAMED] - AVERAGE PROFIT [" & s & " CR.] "
End If
Else
For a = 1 To AzTradeReg
s = s + Ar_TradeReg(a, 10)
Next a
If SetLoop = True Then
s = Round(s / AzTradeReg, 0)
Else
If AzTradeReg = 1 Then
s = 0
Else
s = Round(s / (AzTradeReg - 1), 0)
End If
End If
Me.Frame9.Caption = " TRADE STATION ROUTE REGISTER [" & UCase(RouteName) & "] - AVERAGE PROFIT [" & s & " CR.] "
End If
Call Show_TStations

End Sub

think you have to set loop=no before loading a non-looped route.

oh, and it would be nice if the route planner would take the trade range into account before actually closing a loop.
atm it closes the route as soon as you choose the correct commodity of the first station, so it's impossible to trade that ware with others.

Yes, it should be "NO", but TCE detection of loop/non-loop was not accurate enough. Fixed it.
Changed finishing routes for looping, that you can select further station from the list. Comes with the next update.

Hi, Eventure.

After upgrading to version 1.44, then to 1.44b and running TDM, my previous stations and systems are not showing in the navigations panel anymore.

Please check your TCE.mdb database, Stations table, if the stations are listed. If not, run TDM again and let it integrate the files from your old folder.
Check also the guideline for TDM at the bottom of OP.

this kind of tool doesn't get you banned right?
