Automated Exchange Analysis Tool

[Dupree]

Hmm you should only need to set the "HIDE" option to NO...and that should do it...... I will go ahead and manually unhide the data this afternoon...unless you want to try again.

(you can upload multiple times but try not to do so inside of 1 minute)

Hey Smitty, I am not sure what happened but the NUMAZU file upload on 11/20 seems to have gone awry...when I get home tonight I will try and fix the files and post the cause of the snafu here on teh board....but for now I am taking down the exchange details for NUMAZU.

Hey smitty I am thinking it is due to your front-end, if you recall we had problems at the beginning with the data you extracted as it came down as HTML or something?

[smitty]

sorry bout that everybody- i knew it was broken, but couldn't do anything

good news though- it's all fixed

Hey Cragon,
The Shattered page isn't screwed up but rather it looks like Lorzec chose to "hide" the minute details of his EX... so all you get to see is "-1" mean consumer and "+1" means producer so you can tell what he needs/sells but that is all.

Nice tool. Now I need to get a better grasp for what it is telling me.

I have been working on something similar, but for my own personal use. I use TinTin as my frontend to play Fed, and have scripting so I can issue a special 'di exchange' and 'di production' command and it will create and insert the data into a SQL database, which I then can monitor via http. Granted, mine was but a basic method so I could sort data differently, but I did have the factory building information available showing what factories my planet could provide inputs for that would fill deficits.

I'll try to hang out here a little, but if I don't, no offense - I'm usually busy flying about the country as my job calls for quite a bit of that.

did the page move? I'm getting an error mssg (I have it bkmrkd, why wondering if it moved?)

The short answer is I had a brown-out here at the house......which caused some issues.

The long answer is that while the "WebServer" is a Linux machine the "WebSite" (i.e. the files) live on a Windoze box (the linux box access the files via file sharing). When the power came back up and the machines re-booted McAfee on the Windoze box decided that it no longer trusted my Linux machine and therefore the webserver was unable to see/access the files, hence the "Object Not Found" error.

Everything is back up and running, sorry about the SNAFU..

(By the way how do you get it to show "PO - {PlanetName}" above your avatar?

Hey Gandolf, Glad to have you! Yeah I had been using this tool internally for myself and doing one-off spreadsheets for some less technically inclined Fedders... My set-up was no where near as integrated as yours sounds....

But I decided that it would be nice to
a) stop doing the work manually for others and
b) still provide the data to those that were interested

Hence that little page....Maybe over the holiday's I will take time to dress it up a bit (I keep threating to do that.....)

I think Cragon or whoever owns this forum did it, but not sure.

Hello everyone. Marina has been uploaded. intresting stuff... ok, so what does it all mean now. lol

Well I use to understand what factories I need and /or support (COmmods listed in BLUE are those for which your planet produces the inputs).

I also upload my exchange data on a somewhat regular basis (just the DI EXCHANGE file, production is pretty static) to understand my current inventory posistion. And to see how and to what degree events affect my "standard" production figures.... Assuming that the "Analyzer" reflects non-event production/consumption figures... I can look at a live "DI PRODUCTION BIOLOGICAL" output to see by exactly how much the demand for PROBES has been depressed b/c of an event.

Hey Dupree:

Hope all is well.

I think I uploaded the files correctly, but after I send the files, I get an error message saying planet name needed. Needless to say, I did supply the planet name (New Chicago) and even tried it with just Chicago, thinking the space may be presenting a problem.

I'm getting the same problem here with the new files for Marina.

Hey Guys I will try to take a look at it this weekend... sorry for the troubles...
