Your journal folder contains the journal file that have an invalid file name structure. Please check the folder and the file names within.
A proper format is Journal.YYYY-MM-DDTHHMMSS.Count.log, like this "Journal.2022-03-17T193912.01.log".
Also allowed is this structure: Journal.YYMMDDHHMMSS.Count.log, like this "Journal.210605121024.01.log".
Either find the problematic file and remove/rename it or bypass processing unprocessed journals unitl the next update arrives.

I attached the content of my ED journal folder
In my case the problem was the "monthly" aggregates i generated to lower the number of files like :
Journal.2022-09-00T000000.01.log
which contains the logs for the entire september 2022 month

TCE is the first tool i find to have this issue
Ideally it should ignore the file if the name does not match the pattern or not convert to DateTime as the value is in a sortable format
still i'm propably the only one who aggregates its journals that way :alien:

Anyway, i renamed my aggregates like
Journal.2022-09-30T235959.01.log
and TCE is now processing the journals

Thanks for pointing out quickly the root cause

I like TCE Mk II, just installed it yesterday and I'm have a bug with it. It still mostly works, but in 2 places at the top of the screen it says:

WAITING FOR ELITE DANGEROUS

I've rebooted the computer and it still says this throughout hours of gameplay.
Another possibly related bug is I have ED installed under Steam at this location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous\EDLaunch.exe

Every time I start TCE I have to tell it where ED is installed. I do have TCE installed in the D:\Games folder.

For some reason TCE isn't picking up that the game is running, and isn't remembering the game installation folder.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Using "auto detect" in the TCE start menu seems to have fixed the problem. It wanted a different folder it seems.

Hi Eventure, found a small bug while playing.

When failing to negotiate a better payment for an Odyssey on foot mission, TCE thinks the mission has been accepted. The 2 missions shown have not been accepted.

Thanks again for TCE and all that you do (y)
 
mission accepted error files sent by email, thanks again (y)
Hi,

I checked the log and it reported that both missions were accepted.
{ "timestamp":"2025-02-16T00:11:42Z", "event":"MissionAccepted", "Faction":"Ngaliba Blue Camorra", "Name":"Mission_OnFoot_Salvage_BS", "LocalisedName":"Find the Personal Documents in an empty settlement", "Commodity":"$PersonalDocuments_Name;", "Commodity_Localised":"Personal Documents", "Count":1, "DestinationSystem":"Ngaliba", "DestinationSettlement":"Almeida-Vega Botanical", "Expiry":"2025-02-16T06:18:18Z", "Wing":false, "Influence":"++", "Reputation":"++", "Reward":124762, "MissionID":1003437753 }

{ "timestamp":"2025-02-16T00:16:52Z", "event":"MissionAccepted", "Faction":"Ngaliba Blue Camorra", "Name":"Mission_OnFoot_Delivery_Contact_008", "LocalisedName":"Take a package to Gonzalo Hogan", "Commodity":"$VehicleSchematic_Name;", "Commodity_Localised":"Vehicle Schematic", "Count":1, "DestinationSystem":"Ngaliba", "DestinationSettlement":"Winter Horticultural Holding", "Target":"Gonzalo Hogan", "Expiry":"2025-02-16T06:18:06Z", "Wing":false, "Influence":"+", "Reputation":"+", "Reward":79672, "MissionID":1003438226 }

So TCE was right in showing you the missions in the Missions panel.

I have found this:
Changes for Odyssey up to update13 (July 2022)

A negotiated mission now writes event "MissionAccepted" only when the mission is accepted, not when the negotiation happens.
I think, there is a bug, but in ED reporting "MissionAccepted". I recommend to report that bug to Frontier.

When you start ED, the journal log contains the "Missions" event, which lists all missions that have not yet been completed.
TCE compares the missions listed in the event with those stored in the database and removes any that are not recorded.

Unfortunately, this event is only performed when ED starts, so TCE can only check the status of the missions then and not while playing.
I will add a delete button to remove the unaccepted mission from the panel with the next update.
 
Version [1.9.5.6] released
Changelog:
  • Added a delete button to remove unaccepted missions due to a bug in ED when a mission's payment negotiation failed to the mission panel.
  • Fixed an error when processing unprocessed journal files where the file name was not in the correct format. These files are ignored.
  • Fixed a display issue with the Sphere/Trade Range slider in the Extension tab. The sliders are now locked when the service is activated.
Notes:
Either download the version above, install and transfer your old database, or use the auto-update function of the launcher.
Click the 'new version' notice at the bottom of the launcher.

If you find an error or bug, please report and use the Report a Bug button at the launcher and don't forget to copy and add the error details and ErrorReportFile.7z archive.

Hi eventure. Is the currently selected manual or auto destination data available in a file? If not, can you add it? Mostly interested in the system name and station name.

Can you tell me the reason and what the format should be?
By the way, the name of the target star system is written to the clipboard and is available for insertion at any time until a new target is chosen.

It is for a little navigation helper I am working on. Any format is fine, but I guess in order of preference json, ini, xml, sqllite. Just needs to hold the data 'system=aaa' and 'station=bbb'. I imagined this was already in one of the sqllite DBs or some other file, but could not find it. If it is, point me in the right direction and I will get from there.

The next update will have this feature, scheduled for next weekend.
Code:
{"StarSystem":"NGALIBA", "Station":"ALMEIDA-VEGA BOTANICAL"}
 
Hello Eventure,

I have had the problem for some time that TCE Rely gets stuck at 23% (station File). I have checked/repaired all databases.

Would be very grateful for a tip.

Best regards
