Trade Route Calculator doesn''t work

Fri Feb 24, 2006 9:11 am by WapCaplet

I just downloaded and ran the Trade Route Calculator from the downloads page. The one uploaded by Stinger.

It is not working properly as far as I can tell. When I asked it to calculate all trade routes from anywhere to anywhere, it told me there were only 10 routes and that I could make a profit of 21 million credits by taking 2000 civilians from Freeport 6 to Planet Manhattan. That can't be right. When I asked for all routes from California to Florida (Evolutions 1.30 mod), it said there were only 2 routes. Something is screwed.

Either it isn't working or it doesn't work with all mods (even tho it says it does). Anyway else had any trouble with this tool?

Does anyone know of a tool or file that will tell me the trade routes for all bases and commidities in Evolutions?

Ok, I'm a total newb when it comes to modding and what-not.

What debug files? Where?

I am running Evolutions 1.30. What is the 3rd release?

I'd love to get this program to work...

lol @ Wap, you and me both! I tried it on the latest beta, checking out whether there were any bugged trade routes (or so I thought), and got roughly the same. I can make a fortune in Civilians (more than anything else) by taking them to weird bases, but no other trade routes at all.

There are other trade route calculators in the download if you fail to get this one working.

Do you know if any of the other Trade Route Calculators will work with the Evolutions mod?

I'm primarily interested in having something that will tell the commodity prices for the 4 bases on Planet Unity (Prague, Philidelphia, Okinawa and Coventry). For some reason, these bases do not show up on my Trade Routes list in the game.

Thanks,
Wap

Yeah, the older version worked just fine - although it took about 20 mins to form all the trade calculations. It also required several clicks to sort it in order by whatever you wanted (ie, clicking on profit did not necessarily mean all best profit runs were at the top, just some of them).

I didn't retry the new one sadly, which I should have done. I will do tomorrow, it's late now
