Release Trade Computer Extension Mk.II

Some interesting changes to the Journal forthcoming in the next update, which you're probably more aware of than me?

- Change order of string to Lat then long to revert the order of the latitude and longitude readout on the hud to be the same as pre 2.2

- Include surface location (latitude/longitude) in the player Journal's "Location" event, if starting game in SRV

- At the start of a jump, include the target star's spectral type in the journal

- When DSS-scanning a ringed planet, the journal entry now includes the 'ReserveLevel'

- Added journal entry for setting a ship name

- Include more details about atmospheric composition in player journal, when detail-scanning a planet with atmosphere

Yes, it's on my radar, but the beta will last more than a month, so I have enough time to add the new stuff step-by-step.

Because all journal files, created by the 2.3 beta of ED, are also written into the journal folder, I suggest to use a seperate install of TCE, so your default installation don't get modified by the beta.
 
Hi Eventure.

I have a problem with tce and ed beta an error comes up and stops the program from finishing loading
I have sent the error report to you.

thanks dee.

Hi there,

TCE is currently not compatible with the beta, hasn't tested yet.

Please follow the guidelines, how to report an error. What error message, error details, last journal log and screenshots, if necessary.
Thanks in advance.

Update [1.5.1.2] released:

Changelog:
- Added new Planetary Map panel, accessable with the MAP button at the Minimap panel.
- Minimap panel is now visible when flying over planets, regardless of an installation is present or not.
- Fixed an issue with showing/changing the star class at the Navigation panel.
- Fixed an issue with sorting the star class at the Region Summary tab of the Navigation panel.
- Fixed some minor issues at the Minimap panel.

Note:
Copy all files and folders from the update into your TCE installation folder to update your version.

I like to remind any user, who wants to use TCE in russian or spanish, to help in translating the
latest commodities and interface phrases at OneSky. Thanks in advance.

1.5.1.2 ISSUES:

This is still happening:
1) [VERY MINOR] When entering a new Star System and scanning the Sun, when the Star Class updates the REGIONAL SUMMARY tab details are shown, not the STAR SYSTEMS TAB. Selecting STAR SYSTEMS restores the display. NOTE this is when the NAVIGATION panel is being displayed and as the Star Class updates this happens.

2) [VERY MINOR] Star Class issues have been resolved, but the scoopable flag isn't set when the Star Class is updated, but is set when I jump to a new system. But it is set in the REGIONAL SUMMARY panel.

QUESTION:

I had a DB UPGRADE option when starting 1.5.1.2 should that have been the case?

Yes, the panel position database had required an upgrade for the new Planetary Map panel.

@Finally found the reported issues, this time. :rolleyes:
Next update will fix them. Thanks for reporting!

When adding a station - if it's an outpost that doesn't have a market the start distance, alliagence and economy boxes are not filled. While i can fill allegiance and economy in manually, the star distance will not accept any input, so I can't add the location. I can put numbers into the box, but they vanish as soon as i click away.

Please hit the enter key to complete the input. The field turns green, if the value was accepted.

Scanning of Secondary Stars in a system updates the Star Class of the Entry Star to what the Secondary Star's class is.

E.G. Entry Star Class is "M", then after scanning the secondary Star which was an "L" class the primary Star Class was changed to "L"

Plus I've seen this error occur at the same time, I'm not sure if it's related or just coincidental as I don't always see this error.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

So in this system the Star Class of the Primary Star updated 5 times.

I have done a quick search of the thread but maybe it is best to put it in the FAQ at the beginning;-

"How to record Black Market Info"

Currently I think we can only add it to notes as EDMC doesn't record this info. Is there any way we can manually add prices to the database and allocate them to a station so it comes up in searches?

I am a smuggler type so this info in the engine would be great (as I am too lazy to keep a record in notes)

Or has anyone else found a good work around?

Thanks in advance for replies and excellent work as ever Eventure!
 
hey again, got a slight problem while playing today, no error as such but the station I docked at was a new one and after adding it to the database, it never appeared in the current location box, I could use connect button but the station name did not appear. There was no commodities market at the station, if that makes any difference ? I visited 2 other stations after this one in the same system and both added correctly.

another slight problem is the star class not updating on the nav panel after adding the star class in the summary panel.

after inputting it on bottom of nav panel it updates fine :)

will send error files and other stuff in a mo

thanks for all the hard work and keep up the great work on this awesome software :D

Are you using version 1.5.1.3? As that was fixed in this version, as I reported it previously and it's working fine now. Have you performed a DSS?

Thanks for reporting, the star class issue will be fixed with the next version, found the missing update.

@Found the other issue too. It's only a display issue. But I saw in your database, you assigned an economy to the market, which hasn't a commodity market.
You should select "NONE" for the primary economy instead, so TCE ignores the market in future calculations.

(as I am too lazy to keep a record in notes)

That's the key, otherwise my approach would be using the bookmark/favorites system. You can also rename each bookmark to your needs.

ok will do :) is it possible to have a marker or key to signify that a station has no market ? thanks again and to answer bAdbUds question, no I don't have a DSS :)


new one here

just landed at LHS 450 DARKE'S CLAIM, first time here and after adding new market it said FALSE MARKET in the connect box, then market name difference on the event panel ? market name is Darboux Legacy and same with Mckay Prospect on same planet. Stevenson Relay in same system but not on the planet works fine.

I see no benefit in having an additional marker than "NONE" for the economy.
I could add such marker, if it is highly requested, but I see more confusion, if a market has an economy but no commodity market, which makes the information of an economy unnecessary.

i agree it would cause more confusion and is unnecessary to have economy info on a non market station probably best to leave it as it is :)

on my other point above, the 2 stations have added as you can see in the summary panel but nothing showed in the current location box, it still said add new location

thanks again Eventure for the quick reply :)
