Release Trade Computer Extension Mk.II

No, TCE is an overlay and it can't work in full screen mode usually. But to be honest, TCE didn't cost any FPS when used in boderless mode, if Aero Mode is active.
There is a guide for VR users to make it work (full screen mode), you will find it here. A web server is not planned.


Thanks for that , so in VR mode you can use TCE , with the work around above , COOL I don't run VR yet ! , but Third party apps with 'trading' in mind have to be able to support it.

A web server function allows you to have the information , ported to a Tablet or 2nd, I use Tablets as a 2nd 3rd screens.

my edmc was pointing to the documents folder, so i have created a specific folder for the output to go to so i know what you need.

Also a friend installed this tonight and most of his info is correct but the program thinks he has a sidewinder still but he in a python and doesnt own one. I will see if he can send me logs etc to look at but he works a lot.
 
Hi Eventure

Have just installed v1.5.8 and things are fine but wanted to load my cash activities for the day from v1.5.7 by clicking on the totals button in the credit balance tab but nothing happens am I missing something?

thanks dee.
 
Seems I'm having problems with TCE gaining and keeping focus.
If I use a shortcut to bring up a display, say CARGO, the whole screen freezes on me and I lose controls of the ship (my HOTAS and TrackIR no longer have any input into the game). I have to use the mouse to click on the screen to allow me to interact with the game again. This does not happen with all the sections of TCE. The tabs that do not have this problem are FACTIONS and SYSTEM SUMMARY.

After going back to look at it again, I determined that using the mouse to activate a tab causes the same issue. I have to click on the screen to get any type of interaction after a section is brought up. Hope this makes sense...

Was using 1.5.7 and updated to 1.5.8 hoping this would fix the issue. It did not. I updated all my drivers thinking this may be the issue. This did not fix the problem.No other changes to my system have been made.

Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks.

PS Love the new Personal Panel had to make a bigger pic for the Commander old one to pixelated and I just love the way my pictures of my ships look now that I chnaged all the ones I own in the JPG folder. Keep up the Awesome work.

This is normal behaviour?
TCE runs in front of the game so when you focus on that you lose control of the game until you re focus on the game.
 
Full-Version [1.5.8] Transferred my DB as per normal. Stars and Locations db shows ERROR. Which is fine, set them to be repaired and then TCE_Stars.db took 1 hr 12 mins to finish. During it doing this and thinking it had failed I opened the db folder and could see that a temp file was continually being created/deleted as it was repairing, so looked like it was still doing it's job. Also Locations.db took 1 hr mins to complete.

So my question is: I have 93,738 entries in the Stars.db and 29 in the Locations.db, should it be taking this long to fix errors? Especially so for the much smaller Locations.db?

Loactions.db failed to be repaired and I didn't see the error message, so I'm not sure how long that took to fail.

NOTE this is on an SSD, with an i7 6700k running at 4.4 GHZ with 16 GM of DDR4 memory.

DB of 1.4.7.4 emailed.

UPDATE:

I now get this error when TCE is loading and then it stops at 60% when ED is running/or not. I cleared out the new Journal and log files, just in case it was trying to process that but the error continued.

TCE runs in front of the game so when you focus on that you lose control of the game until you re focus on the game.

It's never done that to me. Usually I can be flying along and pull up the cartography tab and still use my HOTAS to move the ship while the tab is "on top" of the screen. This also allowed me to center a planet into the TCE picture frame when taking a snapshot of a planet. Can't do that now. I could pull up any tab and not have it demand focus.
It appears that the SYSTEM SUMMARY and FACTION tab still let that happen while everything else freezes the screen.

I had TCE start on a separate monitor while playing the game to do some further problem solving. The same issue occurred. When I open a tab using shortcuts, the game screen "froze" until I clicked on it with the mouse. It had never done this before. It seems that TCE is now demanding focus.

Just wondering if others had encountered similar issues and how they solved it.

Hangar doesnt seem to see all my ships? plus the viper mk111 and cobra mkiv has no pictures.

ninjad. confirm, viper MKIV and Cobra MKIV pics not assigned.
jump range on current ship seems off. even heavily engineered, 34,46 ly on my python... wishful thinking. it's 25,58 max.

Found the issue, also with the jump ranges not reverting back to default value, when swaping or buying a ship.

Will check your issue, but normally after pressing a shortcut or a button of the UI, TCE sends the focus back to ED. What is your Trade Range? How many markets you have in your database?

Hey Eventure just sent you another Error Report and Pic Winters Wolves showing up in all systems they occupy except their Home System still in the factions panel.

PS Love the new Personal Panel had to make a bigger pic for the Commander old one to pixelated and I just love the way my pictures of my ships look now that I chnaged all the ones I own in the JPG folder. Keep up the Awesome work.

Looking into the issue currently..., trying to recreate it.

Full-Version [1.5.8] Transferred my DB as per normal. Stars and Locations db shows ERROR. Which is fine, set them to be repaired and then TCE_Stars.db took 1 hr 12 mins to finish. During it doing this and thinking it had failed I opened the db folder and could see that a temp file was continually being created/deleted as it was repairing, so looked like it was still doing it's job. Also Locations.db took 1 hr mins to complete.

So my question is: I have 93,738 entries in the Stars.db and 29 in the Locations.db, should it be taking this long to fix errors? Especially so for the much smaller Locations.db?

Loactions.db failed to be repaired and I didn't see the error message, so I'm not sure how long that took to fail.

NOTE this is on an SSD, with an i7 6700k running at 4.4 GHZ with 16 GM of DDR4 memory.

DB of 1.4.7.4 emailed.

UPDATE:

I now get this error when TCE is loading and then it stops at 60% when ED is running/or not. I cleared out the new Journal and log files, just in case it was trying to process that but the error continued.


I've reverted back to 1.5.7.4 version for now.

TCE not only copying the entries, it checks and correct them on the fly. Also each entry has 16 subvalues, so 93k * 16 gives more the a million values to check, process and store.
I trying to reduce this normally by copying the file, but this time I added the support for duplicate star system names, which requires a complete rewrite of the database.

Why it took so long with the Location database, I don't know. But I think the message was there, but hidden behind a window. That comes, if you let run the TCE transfer in the back.

To find the error, I require the journal file, where it happens. Thanks.

Yeah I gathered it probably failed quite quickly and I just didn't see it until I closed the game down as it was behind it.

To find the error, I require the journal file, where it happens. Thanks.

I deleted the Journal files for that very reason, as I thought it might be causing the problem when starting TCE and ED had been running for a few hours. So I tried loading TCE without ED running and no new Journal file, as well as with ED running and only the startup Journal file, and the error occurred in both situations, so I don't think that's relevant.

Anyhow here's the last two Journal Files.
 
Update [1.5.8.1] released:

Changelog:
- Fixed an issue with the backup files, sometimes not containing all databases.
- Fixed an issue with the detection of some ship types.
- Fixed an issue with a missing ship picture of the Dolphin ship type.
- Fixed an issue not restoring the default jump ranges when buying or swapping a ship.
- Fixed an error when reading the factions from the jounal properly, please report, if detection problems of factions are also solved.
- Fixed an issue with the Total/Session button of the Credit Balance tab not working at the Personal panel.
- Fixed an issue with the spelling of Hangar at the Personal panel.

Note:
Copy all files and folders from the update into your TCE installation folder to update your version.

I like to remind any user, who wants to use TCE in french, spanish or russian to help in translating the
latest interface phrases at OneSky. Thanks in advance.
 
Will the hangar need me to visit a station again to update the ships?

Im in a conflict zone currently. Also the Viper mk III has no picture still.

Great work to get it out that quickly.
 
Thanks so much Eventure the latest update took care of the problem with the Winter Wolves showing up in 41 Lambda All is well now for my little faction. I really appreciate your efforts regarding this matter I sure it seemed like it was all for just one faction as the rest seemed to be getting detected OK.

N.R.C
 
- Fixed an error when reading the factions from the jounal properly, please report, if detection problems of factions are also solved.
Thanks for looking into this one. My missing faction has now been added but the factions that have retreated a while ago are still present. Let me know if you need my logs again.

Will check the issue, but meanwhile you can manually remove a faction by changing their influence to zero.

Great thanks. A suggestion. You can add the population of a system in the trade panel (I think). Can we also make it possible to add the population of a system from within the factions panel. I keep clicking the population field in that panel without thinking so it would seem intuitive (to me at least) make that a location that can be edited.

Thanks
 
ok landed at davs hope, clicked to add location data (first time used this)
called it davs hope
location type picked landmark (this is where it doesnt store)
distance in ls, so i put in the ls to the planet 60 (cant put the .10 in)
clicked save.
Now when i go to navigation panel and click locations, davs hope is there, but listed as a black market, so i go back to the davs hope in the landed panel at the top and click modify and the landmark is now red as if i havent picked it.
Saving it again as landmark has no effect and still isnt saving.



also im not sure the hangar is fixed as it still isnt showing all my ships even after being docked at a station and updating while looking at the shipyard several times as below will show.
