Release Trade Computer Extension Mk.II

[eventure]

I can't seem to get keybindings working.

All I've really set is TCE Focus, and TCE Hide, to F1 and F2 respectively. But they don't seem to do anything. Any keybinding, any function. TCE itself works, but I generally have to keep hitting ALT+TAB just to get TCE active and have to move the mouse up or down near the menus just to get a mouse to appear, and then once a menu appears, my ship moves in the background when I move the mouse around in the menus. If I hit ALT-TAB again at this point, the ship stops, but the second I click on anything the game/ship becomes active again and moves with my mouse. The same goes even when docked at stations; navigating menus in TCE also moves the mouse in the stations and highlights things. Yes, I am using borderless mode.

If you are using any other app in the back, that using these keys, they got blocked. So please check these apps and ED itself, if they are using the keys, you selected.
Please change also the keys to a different ones (e.g., with ALT-key) to check, if they are become usable.

Yeah, seems to work now, with ALT + W and ALT + S for whatever reason. I was using ALT F1 and ALT F2 last night, it still wasn't working, but for whatever reason these work. As far as I know I didn't have any programs in the background using those keys, and F1 was actually the key I used to hide it with the first iteration of TCE. (The one that at the time required Excel.)

I get the following message after updating from 1.4.8 to 1.4.9: Your database is not compatible with this version of TCE! Tried reinstalling and that did not solvde the problem.

Am I missing the obvious again? It wouldn't be the first time.

In the Cartography panel the 'Distance' toggle displays the planets in that System by Name or Distance. However when I perform a search for a Planet Type or Composition etc, the list of systems matching the search criteria is in Alphabetical Order. Is it possible for this list to be sorted by Distance from Current Position?

If - as I've said unless 'I'm missing the obvious' - it currently doesn't list by Distance, then I guess this would be a feature request? Unless there's an issue doing this.

Did you transferred your old database (V1.48) to the new version by hand or by the launcher? Or you receiving the error on a fresh install first start?

Yes, sorting by name is default for the treeview, but I can add a range filter, where to enter the range from your current star system and sorting the results by distance.

Hi Eventure

I find that when I change ship the ticker tape will say "new ship detected" but in the Personal tab my current has not changed now this only happen with some ships and not all the time so can you add a button so we can change it our self if TCE does not change it and also something I mentioned before was when I restock the cost goes into the Module's box and not the restock box..

thanks dee.

I try to to it by lanucher, but get the message Error while reading records on table Stars:Index was outside the bounds of the array. first. Then it gives the database being incompatible. But you say I can do it by hand? How do I do this?

No, you can't do it by hand, you have to do it with the launcher. Was a catch question

When using a fresh install, which is required with the 1.4.9+, and starting the first time, without doing anything to the installation before, you should be able to see the launcher and execute the transfer from the database window.
After you have transferred you old database to the new version, did you verified the databases afterwards, or fails the transfer? I can't figure out, what you did before receiving the error message.

Maybe use the Report an Error button from the old installation launcher to send me your databases from the 1.4.8 for a check.

I just wanted to Say That this software is Really Great.The only problem i have ...And it's not a big problem..is that I play this game with an oculus Rift...DO you think in the future you might possible have support for that...Just asking.

Thank you!
It's not a problem of TCE, but of VR in general, which doesn't support 2D overlays at the moment. But that might be changing in the future with Virtual Desktop.

Found the issue with the restock cost. The update issue with new ships, TCE sticks close to what EDMC provides of data, so your requested button is the connect button and a small delay, so that the frontier server updates your changes and EDMC could thereafter provide the data to TCE.

Thanks for sorting it out..

Hi Eventure,

Just two separate but related questions about the TCE process. I have TCE set to 'connect' automatically, as that is the best option.

1. After docking, at what point in the process can I safely undock? That is, TCE goes through connect, processing, storing, etc, and I don't want to bork that up. But I often am at the station only to turn in a mission, and find I am ready to leave quickly (5-10 sec).

2. After docking, at what point is it 'safe' to start clicking around TCE? Do I have to let it get to 'completed' before using it?

Thanks.

Hi there,

to 1 + 2.: You can safely undock and use TCE, when the counter starts to tick down. All panels got updated and prepared for you next step of action.
Sadly, sometimes you didn't got the shipyard data from the API, so entering the shipyard in ED before connecting helps to get these data too.

But you remind me to cancel the auto. connect on docking, when undocking before the delay is over.

Hello how are you, Eventure...
I thank you for your commitment and your heart for your project TCE!

I have a suggestion that would improve TCE and its use.
Could you introduce a button or confirmation in the

-navigation
-trade
-autotrade

which fulfills the task of copying to the clipboard?

This would make it possible to use the galaxy map with its route calculation effect.

Hi there,

TCE using the clipboard already for selected destinations to paste them later into the ED galaxy map search field. Do you have more than that in mind? Please make some suggestions, what is missing from you point.
A confirmation could be easily realized though the event reporter. How about this?
Thanks.

@Small progress update:
I'm currently preparing the next step of enhancing the exploration part for TCE users, that will give you the ability to easily add the cartography data and pictures of all stars and planets of the game,
which can't be added through the DSS. Additionally, I will add translations for all star types, planet types, atmospheres, volcanisms and elements. Also the star types will get a more meaningful and readable form.
Ofc, all reported bugs got fixed too.

Planning to release the V1.5 for the coming week, so stay tuned.

 

[m3TX]

You're right.
I had used the CTRL key in the game options in the galaxy map area.
This can not work together properly.

Now after this error is revealed, it works great ...

Sounds intresting, I presume that Star Types already updated will be converted, of which I have in excess of 30k Star Types updated.
