Release Trade Computer Extension Mk.II

Hi Eventure,

I tried to get started with the 1.4.0 Beta but ran in to a few troubles right off the get go. First I tried installing and importing my existing Beta database. After a bit of fiddling, it did import and I was able to open the app. However, a lot of the data just didn't seem right to me (my problem, not yours), and most importantly I could not find the Credits tab or any way how to make any changes to my credit balance. I then decided to start with a fresh Database, which I should have done in the first place to give you the cleanest data set possible for testing purposes. However, after Resetting my database, I opened the app and the entire overlay was offset to the right about half my screen width. I could move some of the tabs over to proper postition, but other tabs I could not move at all. See the first video clip: http://plays.tv/video/57effb5707b89aad6f/-tcebeta-window-offset

The I decided to uninstall and reinstall the app and start totally fresh. Same problem : http://plays.tv/video/57effb709b5f9c4cf8/-tcebeta-window-offset-2

For your information, I am on a 2-monitor setup. My primary/center monitor is my game monitor and I play all games in single-screen. My #2 monitor is set to the left of my Main, and is only an accessory monitor where I run my internet browser, MSI Afterburner usage graphs, email, etc. I do not know if this is impacting the offsetting of the screen, but I just don't know. I find it odd that when I did import myexisting database, I did not have this problem. After resetting the database but not uninstall/reinstalling, the problem popped up and persisted through a reinstall and fresh DB.

Any help or suggestions you can offer I will test. I hope to provide as much assistance as I can to you to have this app perfectly ready for 2.2 release.

TCE is using the virtual screensize now and yes, the problem here is your second monitor.
When you import your old database, the panel positions is also transfered. When using a new database, TCE detects the first start and tries to position the panel to your resolution, but apparently failing here.
Please, go into CONTROL > PANEL and move the entire panel back to your first screen by click&hold onto the MAIN UI bar below the trade button. Will be fixed with the Beta2.

BTW, is the rest of the panel shown at your secondary monitor? I like to know. Thanks

PS: You will find the new Credit Overview at the new Personal panel on the right side. Each category value can be freely edited by double-click onto the value itself.

I don't have the Beta so I cant test your you version but either way I have a feature request. When the navigator is used to pick my next port can the system name be select-able with the mouse. This way I can just Cntr C - V to pilot the ship in game. OR if it is possible when I pick 'Destination' can the system name be copied to the clipboard.

Hi eventure I am a horizons beta tester 2.2 beta 4

but I'm having problems right at the start
installed it to "D:tce14" a new folder
run the program then the config screen comes up with the settings
but everything shows unknown and under settings it says not selected or notfound.

but I cannot click on anything as just under the keybind / database boxes it just says
"checking installed extensions- please wait" with a dot chasing its tail in a circle..

and that's it. it will not move past this . ive left it running for 30mins and its still the same.
I cant even try to check database or tell it where ed is..
everytime I start it. it goes straight to checking installed mode.

The clipboard holds your destination star system since V1.0. So pick your destination, go into the galaxy map and paste the name into the search field.

What ED version you have selected at the TCE launcher? Public_Test_Server?
Is the Game Log and Journal showing "Detected" and VerboseLogging showing "Active"?
To see the overlay ingame, you have to select "Borderless Window Mode" at the options of ED.

TCE isn't a virus, AVG is always the issue by blocking/reporting things.

TCE found unprocessed journal files at start and want to process them before launching.
When selecting "YES", TCE starts processing and showing you the list of journals and events. How many unprocessed are reported?
When selecting "NO", TCE skips all but the last and contiune to launch.

I need the full text of the error message, click details and copy/paste it into your post.
Otherwise, send me your DB folder, the player.data and TCE.config file from your installation for a check to eventure(at)ki.tng.de.
Thanks.

i have tried with TCE 1.9.3.1 versions and it works well the only issue to it is that when i hit CONNECT button under TRADE button it gives me an ERROR in red. i tought that this extension will give me a full database of stations information on comodityes that i could trade from station to station just like BPC would do back in the day... but here i see that i have to insert all prices with price scan and travel to all station to get the infos... is there a way to maximes the database faster ? or some similar applications that could help me with TCE?

I know nothing ~seemed~ to happen when you clicked yes on Importing Journals, but it was working. I experienced this as well on my first install. It is just not a very fast process. I had 10 (I think) unread journals, most accounting for about 2 hours of gameplay each, and it took a good 12-15 minutes to parse all of it. If you wait patiently after clicking Yes, you will notice that the Right Hand windowbox will scroll as it reads each entry of the current Journal, and on the Left Hand windowbox each Journal Listing will disappear from screen as it is completed. Just give it some time.


Also, Norton has ALWAYS flagged the TCE installer as a virus for me, I have to force it to run anyway. It's probably just how the app is checking other ED files.

Yes, TCE-Relay would then do the job, filling your database with markets around your position. Please read this post for the tool.

That's the wrong version of ED, the beta of ED is the 2.2 and it is installed to PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER_64. This version you have to select.

I just sent you the crash debug that occured when trying to add/import market, I have also restarted the app and tried to manually add commodities, though when clicking either View Prices or Scan Prices, each button flashes red with "No Market"

1.4.0 Beta 4 Personal Tab, Credit Balance issue.

TCE correctly read when I paid 300,000 Cr. to speed up my next powerplay allotments, and recorded it properly. However when I went to next system I performed two things: 1 I collected my powerplay weekly dividend (was recorded), and turned in 50 powerplay control items for 5,000 Cr. Payout. TCE did record my transfer of the cargo, but did not record the 5,000 credit even after I made a purchase transaction at the commodity market. It looks as though there is no Amount modifier for the PloerPlayDeliver Event

"StationType":"Coriolis", "StarSystem":"CF 464", "Faction":"Kadrusa Gold Life Services", "Allegiance":"Empire", "Economy":"$economy_HighTech;", "Economy_Localised":"High tech", "Government":"$government_Corporate;", "Government_Localised":"Corporate", "Security":"$SYSTEM_SECURITY_medium;", "Security_Localised":"Medium Security" }

The most recent version Eventure Posted (1.4.0) is only for those people playing the 2.2 Beta. If you dont have beta access and are still playing 2.1 (look in bottom right corner of game window, it should say " Elite:Dangerous 2.2 (Beta 4)" if you're in beta. If you are only playing 2.1, then you need to be using 1.3.9 (I think?)

Edit: As for the commodity information, I think you will need to use EDMC and get new commodity information at each station you visit for now, at least until 2.2 goes public and TCE 1.4.x goes main.
