Release Trade Computer Extension Mk.II

I have issues with importing the old database from Mk I version 1.56 Beta 6.
I don't think it is able to recognize the data in the database, or it doesn't actually move anything. The only thing it does do for me is perform functions.
It's not giving any errors or complaining anywhere.
My Database has some 98 Trade Stations, 63 Systems and some 10,290 lines of Price Data. Yet this conversion tool doesn't want to display any of that either.

Is there something you need from me to resolve this.

I have just done the conversion to the Mk II database and I still have the screen up and comparing it to your screenshots your "External Database" is all zeros with no information. Is it possible you are not pointing to your old database?
edit - The external database is your old MK I database.

The SAVE option only appears when you have entered all the required details, so you've probably not filled in a required field?

You have to manually enter in station information??? I haven't used the program yet, but downloaded it thinking it would be useful. As my keyboard is stored underneath a desk and inaccessible whilst flying, if I have to manually type in junk this program does me no good at all.

I've been working with TCE for about 9 months now, and done every other database change fine, I've even moved the folder to the root of the E: drive. It appears the application sees the files, hence all the green ticks. So I think It's a database file issue. Something not formatted correctly, maybe.

when altering the colour scheme 1 and 2 under options it changes the colour but isnt consistant throughout the program and if i change a colour again instead of say the txt changing colour the entire block of information changes colour. EDIT this also seems to have fixed itself very odd.

For me it doesnt always save the star class when ive changed it. EDIT this also shows properly after restarting the program.

ALso the navigation, star system, markets is not updating to show the market as being available when it should be, i restart the program and the market is then shown as expected. (double checked and this is definately the case)

been using all morning and have to say the features this now offers is a game changer for me, Devs take note this is exactly what the game should have.
 
Thanks for all your work on this Eventure, tested this all last night and no crashing. Converted my MK.1 database with no errors.
I could not find a listing for "Corporate Economy" when trying to register or modify a market --- possibly missing?
 
Still have some problems to get TCE running properly.
I installed 9.6 just now and it is converting my old TCE data. Is it normal that this is very slow? IT is the process of adding market IDs now and some take up to 15 seconds.
I have 429 markeds in the old, so it feels like a long time.

Also, In the config I have a problem.
Yesterday I tried autodetect first. It came up with the wrong path. When I typed in the path, it won`t accept it and revert to the wrong one.
When trying to select it in explorer it ends up with the option to open an .xml file. Any one with the same problem?
 
I tried using the blank database and run into an issue with one of the windows at the bottom.
The Summary window is initially too long for my screen resolution. The initial position of the Horizontal line at the bottom of the window cannot be below 1080 because if I don't grab that window before it minimises, it drops below my taskbar and I can't get it back. It appears to not have the same initial positioning parameters as that of Waypoints and Credits.

Any Chance you could take a look please.

Go to OPTIONS and PANELS and alter the X/Y coordinates from there.

Scrub That ^^^^^ That options no longer there. But once you have positioned it to where you need it the position should be saved for next time.w

Just one last tiny spot for tonight. The date is truncated slightly in the Summary Window.

Yes you do. when you dock with NEW or UNREGISTERED Stations you'll need to update the station details, same as with TCE MK.I

Looks like you may need to send you DB to Eventure to check it out.

"Corporate Economy" I've never seen one of those, where was it? Was it a Planetary Outpost?

Yes it is normal for it to take that long, I had over 700 markets to convert and it took a good 30 to 40 minutes to complete.

If you mean the the AppConfig.xml file then that is correct.

OK, thank you for answering.
I did the conversion yesterday also and thought I could upgrade by clicking on "upgrade MKII", but nothing happened.
Hope all is ok now. :)
 
[QUOTE="Corporate Economy" I've never seen one of those, where was it? Was it a Planetary Outpost?[/QUOTE]

No , it was both orbital outposts as well as large stations if I recall correctly (sorry no pics taken). I was on a big delivery run from Robigo and thought it was funny that my slaves would be "Corporate Slaves" :)
Also one of the Orbital outposts I was at had no listing in ED as to what type it was ... it was just labeled as "OUTPOST" --- weird.

I have found several stations in ED simply labelled "Outpost". And yes, you tend to get these on long Robigo slave runs. I always record them as "Unsanctioned Outpost". Maybe Eventure can add an option simply labelled "Outpost".

Please tell me, what did you changed, that the update does not happen. Star system change? Database action? Need more details.
Thanks.

Please check your AV setting, perhaps it is blocking access. But I changed the file access with the next update. Please report again.

Reduce the font size or enlarge the panel.

I tried using the blank database and run into an issue with one of the windows at the bottom.

Any Chance you could take a look please.

Select a keyboard shortcut to the panel, so you can open it by a key. Then move it into the desired place.

Could also be an AV issue, but check again with the next update.

Still no joy I'm afraid. Downloaded and tried to reinstall but got the following message: -

Details
  1. Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 is already a part of this operating system. You do not need to install the .NET Framework 4.5 redistributable.
  2. Same or higher version of .NET Framework 4.5 has already been installed on this computer.

It wouldn't let me go any further even had I wanted to.

Check AV settings, try to disable it for a test. Make another test with the next update.

Still haven't resolved my problem with the database conversion but in the meantime have been playing around with the default database.

Spotted a few possible bugs.

Navigation Panel
On the Star System tab under the Inner System Location the distance is just a place holder as shown below

Is the display issue persistant (then I need your database) or gone after a restart? What did you before detecting the issue? Added a market?

Market Database Operation
If only a planet ID is modified there is no option to 'Save' but if some other element is modified at the same time the Planet ID change will be saved along with the other changes.

You have to press enter, as at all input to show up the SAVE button.

Commodity Panel
When viewing commodity prices and changing between 'full' and 'compact' viewssome of the stock levels are displayed incorrectly - in the screen shots below the Surface Stabilisers stock level is shown under Clothing when compacted but is displayed correctly when returning to the 'full' view.

Found the issue and fixed it with the next update.

Also I notice that when adding or modifying a star the distance to the last system is no longer shown as it was under TCE MkI. I feel that this should be a vital addition for MkII as I found that just depending on the 4 stars chosen to calculate distances was not always correct. By seeing the distance to the last system and comparing this with ED it was possible to use different systems until the precise positioning was achieved.

Whilst the errors in calcualtion are small (usually only 0.01 LY) this can accumulate over time and cause problems in future calculations. It also causes differences in the route finder when compared to the calculated route in ED.

Readded the Last Star/Distance to the panel with the next update.

Thanks for all your work on this Eventure, tested this all last night and no crashing. Converted my MK.1 database with no errors.

Didn't saw it anywhere, but that doesn't count. Is it call "Corporate Economy" or only "Corporate"? Will add the eco type to the next full release.

Yes, it is far slower than Access, when writing data, but reading is quite faster with SQLite and free.
Make a break and take a coffee.

Fixed the textbox entry bug for all files at the Loader > Config window. They will now accept input now.

Another question.
When installing full installer. How is the correct way to install new version. Just select the same directory without renaming or deleting things?

I need your netlog file for the session. Thanks

I would always recommend to rename your old TCE folder, like TCE.old and install the new version to the same location with the same name.
