Eventure,
Just viewing everything without the game running at the moment, and I believe version 1 is looking really good, hat's off to you.

Found something I want you to take a look please, sorting didn't give me the results I was expecting in the Navigation tab, might be my database.
Fresh install, imported database.

Change suffix to 7z and extract.

*** Further examination suggests that if it was visited and you changed it to Scanned it would change the display value but not remove the table value for visited.
The same goes for Changing from Scanned to Explored, the value in the table for Scanned is still the same although the display value is now explored.
I've changed one of the values back to scanned and all the explored turn up as well the one that is scanned.

That is okay, no problem with your database, it worked as designed. The state filter showing all systems with the selected filter and with a higher state of knowledge.
So if you select, for example the "Visited" filter, all unvisited systems are excluded from the list.
If you select "Scanned" as the filter, all systems with an unvisited and visited state are excluded and so on.

Secondly, changing a system to a state, which should not listed, because of the filter, was removed for the appropriate system.
It will apply to the filter, if you changing the filter setting again, or the list is updated by other processes.
This prevents a reset (jumping back to the top entry on every change) of the list to update the entries.
 
I made a fresh Version 1 install since my 9.9.9. version refused to work after trying to ad Version 1.0 update files.
Made a fresh full Version 1.0 instead. MKI files converted fine, but I had to copy the MKII files over as eventure wrote.
All seem to work excellent now, and my flight log is up to date.

I will make a donation later on even if I donated for MKI. :)
This app really makes this game so much more more fun to play.

If the Mk.I import works, what you have copied? The import should integrate, if selected, into the new version and no manual copy is required. Or perhaps I misunderstood.
Anyway, fine that it works.

Thanks for your kind words and your support.

You`re welcome. :) I hope other commanders that use your app also value your efforts.

I copied the DB files from my MKII into TCE 1.0.
After I converted MKI I saw that my flight log ended January 13. After I copied and pasted MKII DB files, my flightlog is up to date again.

Finally got to start playing, way more time was spent setting up Elite, than installing Windows with everything I need on it.

TCE of course along with Voice Attack that has 18 profiles, all require some config after reinstalling. Plus I also had to spend around 40 minutes training Voice Recognition.

EDTracker, this is often fiddly, and then just starts working after trying many different things.

SSChanger and EDDiscovery and EDMC and EliteOCR training and EDTB and the new EDDI which I'm playing with and looks really cool.

Getting TCE installed and running was seamless and noticing little changes in many places, cool. :cool:

sometimes when you click on control/options, tce loses focus, so you have to alt/tab to the main ui. hardly reproducable, though. anyone can relate?

edit: seems to be a general thingy. clicked on 'personal', personal tab opens but main menu's gone.

Thank you Eventure, for Mk2. Its the first time I use it since using the first version a few months ago, and its a lot better. Faster, more streamlined, great work!

My only problem is with the Waypoints, Credits and Summary menus, which appear far too high on my 1680 1050 monitor, and are too distracting. Is it possible to make an option to move them down somewhat?

Thank you again very much for your work!

hi if you click on the menus and then hold the mouse down at the top of the menu you just opened you can drag it where ever you want it ie summary could be at the very bottom if you desire.

Minor quirks

Hi Eventure

Having great fun using v1.0 with ED. No real problems encountered yet, just a few quirks.

When using the keyboard hotkeys to show panels I assume that when using the key for the second time to hide the panel the focus should go back to ED?

I currently use 3 hotkeys; NUM *, NUM - & NUM +

Focus is restored to ED when using NUM - but with NUM * and NUM + the focus remains with TCE meaning that I need to click to restore the focus to ED.


Referring to an earlier query did you manage to see if the size of the netlog file caused problems with TCE? I have had occasions when the netlog file size was 25Mb & 30Mb and caused an overflow error with TCE. If you look back in this thread you will see the screenshot & netlog file I posted.

Thanks for the info, added a focus switch to every hide panel action. The fix will come with the next update.
Yes, I fixed the issue of large netlog files, the overflow error will not happen anymore, fixed with the 1.0 version.

Great stuff, thanks.

Also noticed that on planets some bases are classed as 'Planetary Port' and others as 'Planetary Outpost'. Seems to be that the smaller ones are outposts.

Will you be able to incorporate this as an additional station type? Sorry I haven't got a picture as yet.

Thanks for reporting,
is the error reproducable or it is gone with a restart of TCE?
A look into your database could be helpful too. Send it to eventure(at).ki.tng.de, if you like. Also the EDMC_data folder, if the error is reproducable.
 
Update (1.0.1) released:



Changelog:
- Added Planetary Outpost to market type, incl. jpg.
- Added Manual button at the launcher.
- Fixed import bug of Mk.II databases ignoring the panel.db file.
- Fixed import bug of Mk.II databases ignoring newly added goods and rares.
- Better error report in using the Connect button.
- Focus switch back to ED, when hiding a panel by a keyboard shortcut.

Note:
Copy the content into your TCE folder to update your version.

I have used TCE MkI with no major problems, thank you Eventure was excellent program.:)
I am trying TCE MkII now, but I am not so lucky this time.:rolleyes:
I have followed the installation instructions and have done the config setup.
I have not yet imported my MkI database, just using the default one for now.
Extension version 1.1
Win7 64bit
I have an error just after I start TCE MkII. I can see the progress bar moving to the right, as it loads and just past the half way I get the following errors.

TCE Error.pngTCE Error 2.png

Error line 23, error line 24 and error line 26 keep on cycling as I press "Enter"
To kill TCE I have to use Task Manager.
Before I have format and reinstalled windows I have had this error and now after the reinstall of windows the same error shows up.

Hello,

the errors you experience have to do with the netlog file. Please check first, if the path is correctly set within the launcher configuration.
Perhaps you can post/upload your netlog file for a check. A screenshot of your configuration could also help.

Thanks.

Thank you for the quick respond. I have double checked the configuration, looks OK to me.
Hope the netlog files will help.:D
