Release Trade Computer Extension Mk.II

[punkerich]

There is no hotkey, because the minimap shows up automatically, if TCE detecting a stored planetary installation near your position. Not normally not required to look at the minimap, if you don't have a registered installation near.
You can hide the panel by clicking the HIDE button. To make it visible again, click the connect button, that was turned into a minimap button.

Thing is, i mostly use voice attack, and the map is distracting, so i hoped for a hotkey which i could translate into a VA command. An option to not automatically open would do, too.
Had a prob when i clicked hide, couldn't connect to EDMC at the next station bc the button didn't switch. After clicking on minimap again the Connect button wasn't there.

Incorrect System Details with a Station that shouldn't be here.

This shows that the current system has a Station, but it does not.

This shows that the station is here but really at Ch'anjie some 219.18 LY's from where I am.

Also I'm not able to delete this station.

Good find, that's a transfer bug, writing false ID's to added star systems prior V1.40. So it is required to transfer an old database with the V1.4.0.6, coming tomorrow.

Okay, will add an option to disable it with the next release.

Which is probably why every new station I land at gives the same error as per the Engineers base. I assume you mean using my previous 1.3.9.1 DB, no problem if that is the case.

 

[Ibastavd]

Fresh install of 1.4.0.5, transferred 1.3.9.1 DB, everything seems to be working very well for me.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Happy Cmdr IBastavd

P.S Would be nice if the route finder remembered filter choices, I have to de-select planetary every time!

I keep receiving errors with new update and all the .config stuff is beyond me. I'm a part-time gamer not a programmer. main issue seems to revolve around errors arising with personal file when trying to transfer old database. 1.3.x.x is working fine for me but I just can't seem to get the latest update to play ball..would be a real shame for me to give up on it now. similar issue with earlier upgrade where i had to start my database all over again which is something i'm not keen on. any suggestions? I'll delete current upgrades and attempt to do it all over again step by step. appreciate your efforts with the development of this facility. thanks

 

[CMDR Lazarus 11]

now it appears that my 1.3.x.x..x.x.x.x.x has been corrupted, I can no longer open this application. rrrrrrrr!!!!!!

The Cartography panel can only be used for unknown bodies at the moment. Currently known bodies, for example the bodies of the Sol star system or already scanned bodies out of the bubble,
can't be added to the Cartography (I would love to see this, if it is possible by the journal, but Frontier don't let us scan already known bodies again).

I raised a request for it to let us scan all available bodies, but I think it will need some time that Frontier realize, that is a common request for player's, using the journal with a 3rd party app.
As I said some (or more) posts before, manually adding already known bodies by hand is not planned at the moment, until Frontier says no.

Cool, now I understand, Thanks for the explanation !

 

[Bragolatch]

That's okay and by default, that the time is set to zero. It shows TCE, that an update is required in case of commodities. Found the bug, if you can temporary set the engineer base to a different allegiance (e.g. form 6 to 5), it should fix it for the moment.



There is no hotkey, because the minimap shows up automatically, if TCE detecting a stored planetary installation near your position. Not normally not required to look at the minimap, if you don't have a registered installation near.
You can hide the panel by clicking the HIDE button. To make it visible again, click the connect button, that was turned into a minimap button.


Found the bug for the discrepancy between the Position and Navigation panel.
The 'Approaching' display shows, that you approaching the system displayed. If it shows up depends on the netlog file, how fast the info is available, that you changed the star system. The journal producing only an output, if you reach the system
and not when starting the FSD. The netlog is a bit faster than the journal, so you will receive the approaching message normally a little bit before you reach the new system. Also TCE polling every 5 seconds the journal and netlog, therefore a small delay here too.

Not sure if it's a bug or just me using it wrong, but that panel often pops up as I am jumping away from a planetary base.

Also, I was wondering if we can or if it's in the plan to be able to add markers to this planetary mini map.
That is a feature that is sorely missing in ED at the moment. First thing we did when we landed on the moon was to plant a flag/marker. Kind of weird that by the year 3300 we lost that inclination/ability lol

I've upgraded from 1.3.0.4 to Full-Version 1.4.0.3 . When i'm in the process of docking to a station that was added to the database before the update, i get the message that the station is registered, BUT when i land on the pad it asks me to Add the station again; like i didn't add it before the update. Can i fix this somehow?

Hi Eventure. I still have this problem ^

Its strange also because sometimes when i start the game with my ship docked, TCE sees the station as known, then it changed to unknown

edit:
Can i fix it if I delete the original(during my 1.3.0.4 play) entry ,and then add the station again? And if so, how to do that?

 

[Trekari]

I found a bug which I do not have a screenshot for.

When starting TCE for the first time after upgrading from pre-2.2 Elite, it asks a question regarding Journal Entries. (Something about not finding a journal, and do you want to create one, if I recall correctly.)

The problem (at least on my machine) is that the TCE loading screen is visible, and the question pops up behind that, which means you can't click on an answer. I could not move the TCE loading screen to select my choice, nor could I alt-tab to the question to bring it into focus.

I would suggest that question box be either located elsewhere, or that the TCE loading screen allow something to be displayed "on top" of it.

Thank you. If I can be more clear in my description, please let me know and I'll do my best.

Please update to the newest version of TCE. That will fix your issue.

Hi Eventure
I have the 1.4.0.5 update, but TCE crash after the interdiction. To restart it must close exe file which remains in the processes.

 

[eventure]

OK that seemed to work thanks. Now only have 156!

Spotted some other glitches though.

- When mining or selling commodities back at the station the notification pop out comes up 'Unknown Commodity' and then for example 'Name:$Palladium_None'
- The panel positions for Waypoints, Cargo & Summary do not appear to be saving - I have to adjust the positions every time I start TCE
- Had a problem with the Cartography database when entering a new previously unexplored system. I jumped from Colonia to Eol Prou LW-L C8-76 and TCE detected a new system and put the information in the current position panel but then I got this message. TCE carried on running but the new system didn't show in the summary or navigation panels. Looking at the stars table in the database showed that it had not been added.


On a different note in a future releae would it be possible to have a user defined period for the time the notifications are shown? Sometimes there is so much going on with ED & TCE that I don't have time to take it all in before the notification has disappeared

Thanks

If an unknown commodity is detect by TCE, shown at the Event Reporter, please provide me the current journal file, or at least the exact spelling, that is shown. Frontier internal commodity name are sometimes misspelled or completely different.
TCE will try to correct them, but not all are detected at the moment. So I need those unidentified commodity names to complete the correction at TCE.

TCE will correct out-of-screen positions of the support panels automatically. So how about your monitor setup? Do you have multiple monitors and all displaying the game or not?

The Cartography error you had came from using an old TCE_Cartography.db database from the beta of the V1.4. You mixing old and new that resulting in the issue. Please follow the guideline, how to install a full version.

User defined delay of reports may come later.

P.S Would be nice if the route finder remembered filter choices, I have to de-select planetary every time!

Found the missing save!

The Minimap panel showing only, if a registered installation is detected at your current position. So if you leave an installation, the Minimap panel will show up and vanishes, when a FSD activation or Supercruise event was detected.

You can sure add marker to the Minimap. Land wherever you want and add the location to your database. Thereafter TCE show this location at the Minimap.

now it appears that my 1.3.x.x..x.x.x.x.x has been corrupted, I can no longer open this application. rrrrrrrr!!!!!!

Please try it again with the next version of TCE, which holds alot of bug fixes for the transfer of old databases. All users have to transfer again their old database, because of few, but critical bugs in V1.4.0.5.

Love this app... it's absolutely wonderful and perfect for those of us that don't want to have to use a second screen. However, I'm curious as to why it's not on GitHub? I ask because I keep thinking of features I'd like to try and implement or whatever but I haven't been able to find source code or anything like that? Do you want to keep your source closed or am I just not finding the link?

This app isn't open source.

no error message to display before or after the crash. Simply it disappears everything remains olny exe files in the active processes.
there is' a log file I can send to you, where registered the error message? how can I help you?

 

[Wigean]

@Eventure
Just a quick qestion.
TCE works fine here, but the database status still shows "unverified" evn if I verified it after the transfer.
Is this normal?

Ah, now I know your issue.
TCE hides automatically, if you got interdicted or you are interdicting. It will be visible again as soon as you leaving the interdiction space.
It's not a crash, it is working as designed.If you have selected a hotkey to hide/unhide TCE, you can press the key too, to unhide TCE.

@Eventure

Yes! Every start the database is tagged unverified. That's okay. You only have to verify it, if you encounter a start up issue or similar.

Edit the player.data file at the TCE installation folder and change the Cargo entry to "". A clear cargo button at the Cargo panel will come.
What cargo is listed, that don't vanish after selling it?
