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.

Hello Artie,
I seem to be double-posting on our Squad Chats. My PC is on Inara, but I sometimes post from my phone.

Do I need to log out of Inara on the PC to prevent double posting?
Thanks

ArtieAh, you are right, that's the case! I completely forgot the ranks are starting by 0 in the journal and although it is handled in my journal parser correctly, I forgot to mention that in the API documentation. I will poke Robby about that, so he can make a fix in the EDDiscovery. I do not want to change how it works in the API, because 0/null is used in a sense as "no rank" or "not pledged" there while 1-5 are the actual powerplay ranks. Also, it seems that other apps have it handled correctly, too. Thank you for the debugging!


No problem I'm very happy that I could help

Hello, thank you for the notice, I was able to catch what happened finally - on one of your devices you reloaded a page and re-submitted the post a day (and more) later, which exceeded the range of the check I have there for such cases. I have increased the range significantly and it should hopefully solve the problem. There is no logging out required otherwise.

Hey Artie

Any indication of when the rankings are coming back? It was a fun feature.

I have currently something in the work, so probably soon(tm). But the cAPI journal imports first, as the reliable and completely optional rankings (which will be hopefully impossible to falsify) will be directly tied to that.

You mean the only way to cheat is hard work? Talk about a letdown!

Yep, I will be THAT rude.

No plans for the smartphone app at the moment, as it is a TON of work. But, further improvements to the site mobile version are possible.

Artie, is there any way to have my xbox account connected to 2 inara account for for import data? I have a roleplay account and a main account but when I want to update one I have to log back in. This request is not really important, and I believe it is frontiers side not yours, but it would make things a tad easier.

Artie, would it be possible to implement a kind of text search for the Squadrons Private Discussions ?

All you have to do is connect your Xbox account and import frontier data on the fleet page

Nope. Although is currently technically possible to temporarily link your XBL account to multiple Inara accounts by switching the link back and forth, it's not something I want to encourage. For various reasons, I want to have the game account to be connected to exactly one Inara account at the given moment (for example, for resolving and linking the commander names from interdiction events).

Rolando64Artie, would it be possible to implement a kind of text search for the Squadrons Private Discussions ?

I have it on the list, but no ETA.

I am for making anew module. Ammo section. Like a 4a slot adds 70% more ammo for cannons multicannons missiles, torpedos. It would be a trade off, a ammo instead of hull reinforcement or a cargo bay

I recommend to suggest that on the Frontier official forum instead, better chance it gets noticed by Frontier staff.

PhelboreOn your Galnet Archive page, the link to the official archives returns a 404. It looks like the correct URL is now https://community.elitedangerous.com/

Thanks! I will fix that in the next update.
