Inara updates, bug reports, requests

Commanders having Elite from Epic games store with http 400 error
When you try to link your accounts, you may receive the http error 400 about expired tokens. It's an issue on Frontier's end that I cannot solve on Inara. Fortunately, the solution is simple - please give it a few days and it will start to work later (probably when the access token on their cAPI server expires). If the error 400 appeared later and it worked before, try to reauthenticate as said in the error message (may be just a regular reauth forced by Frontier). Alternatively, you can try to use the workaround below. If even that won't work, it's the problem described above.
Please vote for the issue on the official bug tracker: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/21258

Possible workaround: Try to connect the account while you are in the game. It may work.

Game data and imports not available for console commanders and PC players with Legacy game version
Inara supports only the Live game version (so PC Horizons 4.0 and Odyssey) since game update 14, thus all the game data on the site and the commander data imports work only for those game versions.

Sampi OgonekNow the question: if I upload the relevant journal files manually, will it correct the missing events? Or will it mess up things even worse?


Yes, it should be safe to import journal file "over" it. In the worst case there may be some duplicity ship created in the fleet, if it will be complicated to identify it.


Thanks, it worked and everything seems to be fine

(I actually concatenated all journal files from the last 8 days into one big file, then uploaded it in one go…)

Mads Duus HansenI got yet another question. A tiny winy minor nuisance tbh..

In the Star System page, where the station list is, could it be possible to make it viewable by size/class? Now it's by alphabetic it seems, but that means the unimportant planetary installations are on top (in my particular system anyhoo). Like I said, a minor nuisance

Mads

Yes, I will add sorting by class there.

I am sorry, I was not clear. I just meant a simple easy to click interface (big buttons) for running beside the game. Still within the webapp. Really that was the least of my requests though k

Ah, that's not very probable, as it means layout redesigning of everything, which is a non-trivial amount of work (to fit everything in and also make it usable).

HodzumiSo on the frontier forums i have my inara signature and it wont update from my old signature line 2 and 3 any idea how long it usually takes to update or is it a bug?

Please try the forced refresh on the forums (ctrl+F5), there is also some caching involved, which may be this case. The signature images are usually updated within a few hours.

Yeah, there shouldn't be an issue with merged files when it is not a huge file, too.

Do you think there may be room on the "nearest station" search to add the station supercruise distance please? After all I don't think Government and Allegiance matter when looking for a Material Trader?

I believe the ID page link is broken. 404 every time I try to go there.

That is a link for a page in our Wing Forum. I just mis-typed the address. It is corrected now.

I think I've noticed odd behavior with the logbooks/diaries. Assume Logbook A gets appears on day one; Logbook B then appears on day two, but is listed before Logbook A in chronological order (in the archive etc.)

Because of a similar incident I had with my own logbooks earlier in March, I'm wondering if the date used by the logbook archive is the very first time the entry is saved to the site, even in a private draft format. So, when someone saves it as a public publish, it appears to be dated earlier than it's been published. If that's true, would it make more sense to try and record the time it's publicly published?

Am I crazy? If not, it still isn't a big deal at all, with an easy solution on the logbook writer's side, but it always eats at me whenever I think I see it happen.

I've just checked, and my fresh signature is being served with headers:

Last-Modified: Fri, 30 Mar 2018 07:06:34 GMT
Cache-Control: public
Expires: Fri, 13 Apr 2018 07:07:07 GMT


The first of those should mean use of If-Modified-Since will get a fresh copy if it's been changed, but the latter may mean some browsers/proxies caching it for up to 2 weeks without re-checking ? The 'Cache-Control: public' means "that the response may be cached by any cache". So perhaps this is the issue people are seeing ?

No, you're not crazy, but it isn't odd behaviour either.

When you save a log entry for the first time, it's time-and-date-stamped. If you keep it only as a private draft, you need to amend the time and date when you publish for public view, otherwise what happens is what you described.

A latest batch of new features and improvements, mostly related to wings and minor factions, is here.
  • A new chart library used for the influences and credits. This also allowed some improvements like correct faction states in tooltips, etc. The range slider was replaced by zoom and panning.
  • The minor faction pages now have a graph of the influences for all systems they are present in, including the latest influence change highlights.
  • Minor faction pending states are now recorded per system and alerts were added to the minor faction overview, so you can see exactly in which system is the conflict pending, where the expansion was triggered or where is an influence close to another faction, so a conflict may happen.
  • The wing can now set a secondary minor faction as their main (for example Colonia minor faction they established).
  • There was added a wing faction(s) overview to the wing page, together with the members activity overview in a relation to these factions. This functionality may be further improved in the future.
  • There were made some precision improvements for the nearest material traders and technology brokers lists. As there still may be some minor errors, please let me know if some type is wrong (although the station economies determining the type are properly set).
  • Other minor changes and improvements (added Recruiter role for the wings, discussion jumps to General talk by default, changes to discussion subscriptions with additional option in Settings for wing discussions, etc. )

Those minor faction changes sounds great.

The others are also good, but hitting places where I do not play.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to report this, but the website's Material Trader finder reports Bolg[Moxon's Mojo] as an Encoder type trader, but when going there it is actually a Raw Materials trader.
31 Mar 2018, 5:36pm
Thanks, I have made few changes for the trader type selection and also returned displaying of both options when unsure.

ArtieThe range slider was replaced by zoom and panning.


This breaks the ability to use it on tablets/phones.

Also, it doesn't seem to work on PC even. Shift + Wheel does nothing.
