Abandoned [RELEASE] Trade Computer Extension

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
I'll try to reproduce the issue when I get back in - problem with logging onto the game right now. No, the button didn't highlight, but the other buttons (View and Scan) did.
 
Wow I'm loving this version with all the popup menus and stuff. Posting now as servers are down :-(

Latest version issues:

Although I believe these issue have probably been there for while:

Salvaged Goods is missing: Occupied Escape Pod

Macalites has wrong coordinates they should be, Coordinates: 31.53125 / -18.21875 / 0.46875
Also HR 4734 coordinates are wrong: they should be: Coordinates: 73.59375 / 20.28125 / 41.2187

CORE SYS SECTOR NC-V B2-6 doesn't exists, the closest name that matches is CORE SYS SECTOR MC-V B2-7 which is many moons away from this none existent system name.

Snaning Commodities Issue:
When carrying cargo and scan prices at a station that doesn't sell/buy that item at said station, they still get scanned in. Trying to set them to 0 isn't aloud. I've had to edit them manually in the db. Is there another way round this.

Good to hear from you again. Salvage Good will be in the full release, also the star data, but your second is already in with your posted coordinates.
The scanning of additional goods in cargo hold is a problem of EliteOCR, because it doesn't give any data about it. Only, what is listed. So sell first, scan after.
Why you can't change it to zero? Change to View Prices and set buy and sell to 0.
 
So sell first, scan after..

I don't want to sell first, it was a stop over to update my data. No matter I just zero the entry in the db.

Another star system that doesn't exists is: CORE SYS SECTOR DL-Y D116, that's in the db.

Why you can't change it to zero? Change to View Prices and set buy and sell to 0.

I can't change it to zero as when i change it the trades window just resets it back, during scanning and after scanning.

Deleting stars out of the database is not supported at the moment. But you can rename it to "Non-Existant" and if you discover a new star system, don't add it, but change the non-existant one to your discovered one. So it will be replaced.

It doesn't reset here, or I misunderstood you. Look below, how I changed hydrogen-fuel to zero values (before/after/View Prices):

Cheers, I think I tried that but I'll give it another go later this evening, although I think I've left that system now and I just zeroed it in the db accordingly.

That's a good idea with renaming star systems, I'll do that.

Hello CMDR Eventure! I just stumbled upon this lovely tool and was wondering if you could help me out a little bit. I am following the guide for TCE written by YOKAI and got up to the point that has me scanning the commodity list with OCR. Now when I click the scan button it says please wait and then nothing happens after the scan is finished. So I looked through the troubleshooting section and clicked the OCR window button, and this is the weird part, it seems that the screenshot is too small for OCR thru TCE (as noted from the OCR console window). I sometimes find a way through by moving the panel around the screen but nothing seems to last more than once. Any ideas on how to fix this? I would love to continue using this as it seems it would be very helpful for my trading. Thanks

Hi Eventure

In the system summary panel. When I click on information icon for the station.

I get the following debug error.

Hello too,

you have to change your FOV (Field Of View) slider at the ED options to fix the "image too small" error of EliteOCR.

Look into the FAQs and you will find the following:

Question: EliteOCR doesn't work correctly or it produces an error, please help!
Answer: Firstly, check if you met the minimum requirements of EliteOCR (resolution 1680x1050, etc. Link: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showth...light=eliteocr). Secondly, activate the OCR Process Window at the Options panel of TCE. If you reading an error at the debug window like "...Image too small...", here is the statement of Seeebek, creator of EliteOCR, for this problem: "Increasing FOV in game reduces the size of the significant part of the screenshot! Therefore you will easily get below the limitation. Use standard FOV (approx. 56)!"

Ok, that issue has resolved it self I tinkered with my FOV and it seems to work perfectly fine when I slide the slider all the way to the right (i had the FOV set to aprox 56 from the config file but oh well). Now I have another issue as this happens every time i attempt it and the error message is always the same. Under the "find best buy/sell route" from the trade menu, if i were to click on any of the tabs such as station, distance, price or stock the panels lock up and I receive an error stating "runtime error '9' subscript out of range". It was a pain in the butt since the panels freeze and i cant move them but I was able to enter debug mode and saw that this segment of code highlighted "vntBuffer = vntArray ( (lngLbound + lngUbound) / 2, intSortColumn)". The only way I can terminate Excel is from the task manager. I do appreciate all the help. Thanks again!

Apologies if these are repeated issues, but 200+ pages is alot to look through, so I would Also would like to note "runtime error '13' type mismatch" comes up whenever i try to click on any space station info buttons via the summary panel. In debug mode this is highlighted "sd = Replace (sd, "/", ".")"

Hello and welcome here.

Thanks for reporting your issue. You don't need to read the whole thread, check the FAQ, if you having an issue. If you can't find help there, please post the problem, as you did.
The issue is identified and fixed with the next patch. It comes, if you added a station to your database, but didn't scan/enter the commodity prices of the station.

Can that be your state, before clicking on the info button of the station at the Star System Summary?

Good to hear that this is already a known bug. As for what state I am in when i hit the info button i tried all variations, before and after scanning the prices and having the commodities prices opened and closed in game all produce the same error. Also I have a question meaning to ask, is the cartography data supposed to be modified manually in-game? Such as adding type of star.

At the Cartography panel you can change the star class (for the fuel scoop data) and the exploration status for each star system listed. Select a star system by clicking on the row and then click the "Modify Data" button below the list and select "Star Class" or "Exploration". Now select a value from the dropdown, displaying at the star system row.

Sorry forgot about that screen ... it hidden by the system summary panel. It say that erro is "Run time error 13. Type mismatch"
 
Update (1.54.7) released:



Changelog:
- Fixed an error at the Star System Summary panel, when clicking on the info button.

Note:
This update didn't need any TDM usage for your database. Copy the content into your TCE folder to update your version.

Just bumping this since it was a post that needed to be a approved by a moderator. I didn't realize it got posted a page back. Wanted to make sure you saw it. Can confirm this still happens with 1.54.7. Can also confirm that the type 13 mismatch is no longer an issue. So far so good!

Hi Eventure,

Not sure what's going on, but getting several errors due to (I think) the name of the system I'm currently in containing the ')' character. My current system is 'Pipe (Bowl) Sector UY-A B2' and the software *really* doesn't like it.

EDIT: It sees the system as 'Pipe (Bowl' and keeps giving type mismatch errors (including when I start the software).

Eewec.
