Release Trade Dangerous (Est. 2015) Power user's highly configurable trade optimizer

Yes I did that and it worked but there are no commodities listed in the dropdown and my profile cannot be located but it does not ask me where Elite is installed like it says it would.

Very frustrating....

I'll try again tomorrow.

Currently there's no UI for TD, as TDH is out of date due to lack of a maintainer. I've updated the OP to reflect this.
 
I am going to assume that everyone is now running their queries from the new host and I've shut down TD server on the old host. It will still work I guess, but data will be increasingly out of date as the files on the old host won't be updated going forward (I really can't be bothered cleaning it all up, that host is doomed long term anyway).
 
I wanted to do some action again (search for cheap materials for the station construction) and started TD.
Oh ... what had to be seen, after an update with the command trade import -P spansh -O maxage=10 , there were many errors.
Doesn't work TD anymore or I do something wrong :rolleyes:
 
Hmm ... works again :cool: No idea what it was. I executed the spansh command again with only 3 days. It works.

Hi!
Just stumbled over this tool, sounds great and looks great (got an itching in my fingers to write a wx-python Gui for it ;->) however.. I stumbled over a problem which seems to be based on trouble with the data from eddb
Just run a fresh import (trade import -P eddblink)
followed by:
trade run --capacity 144 --credits 15000000 -from="Delkar/De Kamp" --ly-per 14 --pad-size M --max-days-old 1 --no-planet --fc=n
which delivers a
<path_deleted>\Trade-Python-ED\data\TradeDangerous.prices:11026309 ERROR Second occurrance of station "WAT YU/STRONGHOLD CARRIER", previous entry at line 11017430.

As far as I understood, the fc=n should ignore FleedCarriers, and I thougt the "Stronghold Carrier" is one... is there an "ignore"-Switch for systems? I didnt notice one, because I wouldnt like to patch in the data, with crossing fingers, that I am doing it right :)

cheers

Hello @Quwartos Grimmbart ,
I'm delighted that someone has discovered this tool, which I think is brilliant, and wants to use it. I would like to say one thing in advance,
I only use the tool, I have no idea about Python or other programming languages. For bugs I think it is better to contact the github page of the maintainers/creators.
...
I entered your command and got an ERROR.

Then I added your data to my template and lo and behold, here is the result. I only discovered your input error later.

There used to be an interface, the TD-Helper (TDH), but it was not developed any further. Here is the link to github:

(p.s. Your name indicates a German-speaking background. If this is the case, have a look at the SNP-Forum

thanks for your time, and cross-check, as far as I read recent postings of you here in that context you use the spansh-Plugin, I am going checking with data from there, and naturally your modifications of my trade-statement

Hadn't the time to parse to the py-code, since the "..ERROR Second occurrance of station "WAT YU/STRONGHOLD CARRIER"..." seems to look like a parse-problem of the raw-data... I assume that it will all drop into a dictionary, which would do the uniqueness by itself, but the reformatting for pushing into seems to hit that...only a guess...and it is wrong :) nice sql3 behind... thought in too simple way... for this data-amount..however

Hoped that someone has a similiar problem...
Haaa... yea page 35/36... same trouble... broke reading too early..hmpf

TD-Helper... sounds nice, normally I am also more the commandline-guy, but sometimes... well I am a little bit lazy from time to time... and some colored-click-stuff comes in handy :). Okay... got a look onto... hmm.. .NET-bound... thats sooo Windows.. well have an idea to make it with wx out of python, so it could work on nearly all where Python runs, and a simple "Checkbox-Thingy", that runs trade after that, and display the result... lets see if I have time for that... well at first my "trade.py" should run :)

cheers
Quwartos

P.S. Right guess.... german-bound with Thomas Mann-habits of endless sentences :cool: I'll have a peek into SNP

As little solution of the Problem I had in the post above :)
First of all a typo its "--from" not "-from", second.... the hint of nepomuk, is brilliant, run the "trade import " twice.... after the frist I got a ERROR second occurence, after the second run, all went fine.

Thanks to all who had a glimpse on it.

cheers

So, now I found time to test the commands. Yes they work without problems (y):) ... but ... I have to execute the command by hand in the CMD window every time I dock. Automatically this does not seem to work with the API. But it is not bad, but would be the cherry on the cream pie ;)
Just to let the other TD user know, ask and you shall receive: https://github.com/bgol/UpdateTD :)

Automatically update on docking (in the Output setting) must be switched on the get market and shipyard updates otherwise you'll have to press the Update button.
