Release Trade Computer Extension Mk.II

eventure

eventure
Update [1.5.3.3] released:

Changelog:
- Fixed an error when approaching a star system containing an apostrophe.
- Fixed an issue when scrolling the factions in system, showing all stored factions instead at the Factions panel.
- Fixed an issue with the scrollbar at the first opening of the Factions 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 french, russian or spanish, to help in translating the
latest commodities and interface phrases at OneSky. Thanks in advance.

Elite Dangerous Beta Notes:
To all, who wants to test TCE and the ED beta, I suggest the following:
1. Install a beta-dedicated TCE version to your drive and name it so, like D:\TCE.beta
2. Transfer your database from your current TCE version to the beta-dedicated version by the TCE launcher, if you want to use your current database.
3. Don't forget to select the beta version of ED at the launcher of TCE.
4. After starting TCE, you can ignore or allow to process all unprocessed journal file, because TCE will ignore the non-relevant journals (all non-beta), if you have selected the ED beta in step 3.
5. EDMC is not working in beta, so the Connect button is not usable.

I had an odd result from the trade computer. I am using a Thrustmaster 16000 and the accompanying throttle. When I started the trade computer my throttle went to max and would accept no inputs from the throttle. I bumped my way out of the station and then logged off. Closed the trade computer, reentered the game, and it then worked as usual. Since then I have made no attempts to use the trade computer.

Did you have selected any shared keybinds in TCE and ED?

I just did some more testing, and it looks like your fixes worked. No problems with entering ' systems or scrolling weirdness.

I did notice that when you are entering influence levels by hand, when you hit enter after input of the inf level, the panel snaps back to the system you are in, rather than staying on the system you are changing data for. I think the behavior should be that it stays in the system you are entering/changing data, since the likely scenario will be checking the gal map for inf levels in systems you are not in and will not go to that day. Hope that makes sense.

Hi Eventure

I've been geting an error when TCE is about 90% loaded in 1.5.3.2 and also in 1.5.3.3:

For info, TCE is installed in my D:\Program Files (x86)\TCE

No idea where the drive reference in "F:\Trade Computer Extension\Trade Computer Extension\TCE_Launcher.vb" comes from or if it is relevant.

I have an "ErrorReportFiles_V1.5.3.3.7z" available if it is needed.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Please send it to me and the EDMC_Hangar.csv from the EDMC_Data folder.
Thanks.

Thanks, an empty file was the error, do you using the ED beta, because EDMC won't work with it and if so, copy the EDMC_Hangar.csv from a non-beta version into the EDMC_Data folder of TCE. This would fix the issue.
A fix will come for this issue with the next version of TCE.

Okay, so you don't have selected any keybind in TCE, right?

I didn't understand, why this happen and nobody reporting such an issue since the release of TCE, so I guess it is something at your system. Maybe you should test a little to encircle the issue.

Try the following:
1. Make a vid of the game with TCE loading, so I can see, when the throttle up happens. Would be helpful.
2. You should have a calibration software for your stick, which should show any throttle up action, while TCE is loading. You don't have to start ED for it, make a dry run and check, if you can replicate the issue.
3. Remove any selected keybind in ED for throttling, if any is present.
4. Try to start without any unnecessary app running in the back, like Voice Attack, etc.
5. Calibrate your stick again, while TCE is running, but ED not.

Maybe you can find the issue and what caused it.

Good luck and report back, if you like.

No sorry - this issue started and I have only been playing in live, not beta.

Now I get teh error every time I launch it and it prevents TCE loading.

I am not at my base with all of my ships, should I go there to see if my hanger populates?

No, try to delete the EDMC_Hangar.csv file and restart. TCE orders EDMC to create a new one. Check it again, if it is populated thereafter.

Double check EDMC is connected. You can do so without starting TCE or ED. Open the ED Market Connector and check what it says. Sometimes it loses connection and you have to revalidate.

I'd already run the EDMC tool on it's own as I had upgraded it as part of my own troubleshooting, but thanks for the suggestion.

Deleting the empty Hangar csv and relaunching fixed the issue, the csv was correctly populated with my fleet and all is good in my TCE world once again.

Many thanks for the help!

First want to say nice work on this, pretty cool stuff. Thanks for doing it.

I have set this up and and EDMC and I believe all is working well so far.

A few questions on things, I think the first 2 are related.

The connect button/auto connect feature, what is this, what is it doing? Am I sending my data to a website or downloading from a website or what is happening? Its not quite clear what this functions is actually doing or needed/not needed to me.

How to I keep my local prices updated? does this happen automatically whenever I land once I have a market in the trade computer? If not what do I need to do to be sure I have the current info from places I am frequenting.

The EDMC program, do I need to run this every time I restart my computer before running the Trade computer? Or do I simply only run it the first time as directed in the brief tutorial here and then never need to touch that again and simply start the trade computer and then ED? I ran the EDMC and I believe everything went fine with it, I'm just not sure if after shutting down my computer and coming back another day do I need to run that program first every time.

Thank you.

Star System with slightly wrong name

PLIO EUG OS-B D13-1 should be > PLIO EUQ OS-B D13-1

It's a 'Q' and not a 'G'. I found the appropriate system which is at the correct distance from my current position.

Another one, this one has a missing space

SIFOU VD-LB36-1 should be > SIFOU VD-L B36-1

I've noticed that is not possible to manualy add stars, planets and or other bodies to the database, I'd like a function for this to be implemented, if someone by any chance starts using the application when he has yet discovered most of main systems and places, those cannot be added to the TCE database anymore, if we could add more then "undiscovered" places to the database, it would be awesome, thanks. [smile]

You can add all unscanable star systems and planets to TCE by opening the Cartography panel and select ADD STAR SYSTEM, if it was not displayed in the treeview on the left. Thereafter you can select ADD PLANET at the bottom/right for the particular star system.

False Markets

hey again,

got 2 false markets today while playing.

System = Procyon
market 1 = Mallory Survey
market 2 = Schade Horizons

at Mallory Survey, event reporter stated that incorrect name match had happened but not on Schade Horizons. After getting False Market, i restarted TCE and was then able to update the markets with the connect button.

thanks again :) keep up the great work Eventure :)
