Release Trade Computer Extension Mk.II

I have 2 very small requests;
For a UI optional change
...the message that says to click to add when you arrive in a new or update area.... could that please be in a red font color to catch my attention better, (I mean for *me* it would be slow flashing too) (the one that tells you to update the market on the lower part of that left main data window, not the button)

And the voice option would let me remove a mos if yours actually spoke the system you are arriving it along with the popup summary


I couldn't figure out what you were talking about but Thanks for the request, saw the red flashing message and realized for the first time that I could add new market from there lol
(I was not paying attention)

But more then that, I'm not sure there was a separate form for non market location and since I took a break from ED between mk 1 and mk 2, i was not using that either.

I strongly believe that part of what make a great program is that it's use is obvious enough that you don't need a lengthy manual.
So rep for the request of a small change that make TCE even more user friendly :)
 
hi

i know this has no VR support, is this something which is on the cards or is it not feasible?

thanks

It is not a problem of TCE, but VR in general using full-screen window mode to display, not a borderless window mode. So it is a lack of borderless window mode of VR, what TCE makes it not display in VR from my point of view.

What that day comes it will be wonderful! I love this tool soo much that I suffer from raising my Rift everytime I get to a station LOL. I've got my hotas mapped to open all different panels at a press of a button. Thank you so much for such a great tool!
 
Hi Eventure,

Getting an error msg. This one occurs when in a newly visited system and I have already entered the star data and I am now entering the market data as a new entry into the database.

When I hit Save, this msg pops up and Save changes to WAIT. The panel is frozen until I hit ok on the msg.

This has been happening (to me) since version 1.3.8.0, I think. Just now getting my act together to capture and send to you. currently using 1.3.9.1

However, and I've checked carefully, the data from the locations where this error msg has occured seems to be very happy and living in my DB. I've called that data up in the Trade, Nav and Commodities panels. Seems fine.

Sorry about the attachment. Couldn't get an image to stick. So had to do a stupid way w msWord [sour]

LOL the length of code shown for this attachement in my email made me think it was some sort of joke. It's like 300 lines long :D

Found the issue, error happens on updating the Summary panel. Will be fixed with the next version.

I can't imagine how that could have happened (???). Maybe microsoft word weirdness
Could have been from my failed attempts to add an image.

And I never joke ... just kidding :p

@Eventure :: thanks for finding and fixing. You are so responsive to your users. It's refreshing!

Because of the accumulating size of attachments, pics ... this forum does not let you upload them directly anymore.
You need to use a site like Imgur.com and copy the url they provide in the insert image tool on this forum.
 
Hello everybody,

here comes a small development update about the new reworked Personal panel, comming with the release of the ED 2.2 version.
Because of the annouced journal log, which covers most play events, we will get a little more data about your commander's expenses and revenues.
So I created a new panel to display more informations, as before.

So let's have a look (unpopulated layout):

Additionally, with the 2.2, there is no use for a seperate Credits panel anymore, it will be replaced by a Cargo panel, which is in development.

With the next update, the TCE_Personal.db database will be removed. All player data is now stored in a text file called Player.data.
Also I will add a graph history display for your current cash, renevues and expenses. With it, there comes a new history database, storing session wise your cash data and commodity averages.
I will add additionally a history of all average prices of commodities, as for all cash categories. This will require a rework of the Commodity panel in the end. I will report later, if the redesign is ready for public.

That's all for now, back to work.

Have a nice weekend.

If you using EDMC via TCE (with the CONNECT button), the Credit panel will show the proper amount of credits. The value, you can enter, at the Personal panel is for players, that are not using EDMC.
When starting TCE, you will see the credit value at START CREDITS. With every use of EDMC, the UNASSIGNED category value increases, if not distributed to the categories. All sums to the END CREDITS value. That is your current cash value.

With the ED 2.2 update, it is not longer needed to fill the categories yourself by hand, it will be filled automatically by your actions in-game. Furthermore the Credits panel will be integrated into the new Personal panel, as shown above.
 
Hello, I apologies if this has been brought up before but I can't seem to find how to search for posts in this thread.

I have recently installed TCE mk.II and have run into the issue that both the "Control" and "Routes" tabs are outside of my monitor. I am running a duel screen setup with my main monitor resolution being 1600x900.
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Eventure, the new panel looks awesome.

I'd like to make a small suggestion:
A search function.
E.g. i use the stored locations, res. extraction for keeping track on what materials to find on which planet.
When searching now, it only finds entries in the trade range. Setting that to 300 or more to cover the bubble slows
almost everything down. So how about a search mask, where you can select (checkbox) the different areas you want to search in,
and are given a list with the results?

I'd like to hear your opinions, and further ideas on how to implement that.

Sounds quite a bit like what I suggested not so long ago, great minds ... :)
