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.

Is there someone else who has many modules with a value of 0? Or credits substracted by transactions that are fully out of the blue and dont match anything done ingame?
I dont have a carrier if that matters.

Now that you mention it, I do! It only affects modules mounted on ships however, so I suspect this is an internal workaround to stop module values from counting twice (since they're already counted in the ships' value they're installed on)

Hey Artie,

I'd like to make a small request. In the Add Blueprint to Crafting List dialog, there are inputs for the number of rolls at each level we wanna do. It'd be helpful if clicking in the box highlighted the value. This might also be helpful in the synthesis dialog.

If Inara is open sourced anywhere, I'd be happy to PR it if you can link me the repo.


Thanks!

I didn't even knew there is place like this on the website. It is quite hidden and normally players will not end there, plus not to mention it is mainly used only for Squadron recruitment.

There for the idea was to offered to you to create dedicated web took to advertise Fleet Carriers departures, what would use similar functionality next to any major features on the web page (Engineers, Market, Find Nearest, Outfitting etc.).

Bulletin Board idea is good, but I feel sadly most people would not use this to advertise their Carrier jumps (hidden - not really visible), most people still go Reddit or Official Forums and try to offer their service there. Like I was saying people love 3rd party tools what makes their life easier and I still strongly think tool for announcing jumps what people can hit the ride with is something what many would like.

Also it could even generate communities and Fleet Carrier taxi lines and it would be all based from inara.

In fact, I would like to make the bulletin board more visible today.
The bulletin board was made exactly for advertising the services or posting demands, not just the squadron promotions. The idea of a dedicated "tool" for carrier services is nice, but I do not want to spend time on a feature which will be rarely used, when some existing that can fit the role is present already. I prefer to rather add some extra options to the existing tool than create a new one that behave basically same. So I will make some bulletin board adjustments first and let's see how that will be going.

Unfortunately, the Loadout events in the journal doesn't provide the modules value for a while, so there is difficult to determine the individual modules value. What exactly do you mean by credits subtracted by transactions? Please specify.

I am not exactly sure what do you mean by highlighting the value, do you can provide some mockup screen, please?

Sounds awesome! Maybe you can add a [sell/buy] tag AND have it appear in market listings pages of that related star system. Some work would have to be done on order and length of time it would be displayed.

Maybe also something like uber ratings on that [sell/buy] too? Maybe include who rated it?

Just brainstorming here.

Hey Artie,  thx for reading.
If you look at my credits log you can see as last entry a balance change (-223,040,675) which didnt took place ingame. The Entry before that change reflected the right money value.

Edit: looks like it is the profit i made that day.... see the transactions log

I have tried resetting/updating my account and a manual upload, but for whatever reason my FC doesnt appear here. Does anyone have a suggestion? I have opened the fleet summary during my sessions.

Sabrehawkunfortunatly for me importing is broken ... it keeps telling me to Relink my account which i ofc do and ends up with the same error after that.

also i wonder why my commander name in top right is all in upper case while my actual commander name is Sabrehawk , not SABREHAWK ...here and in settings.

Hit Import and it tells me that it doesnt work and i need to relink my accounts again..

There was a problem with Frontier's service while requesting the data. Please try to re-link your account (reset account link in the Settings) and repeat your request.
[httpCode: 0, fetchCode: 28]


I have adjusted your import date one more time, to skip another problematic day. It should work now.




Thank you ..but sadly ...not.




But at least despite throwing the error my CARRIER now finally is there again.

I am not sure what to look at in your case, as you seem to have all the stuff recorded? But I was not very thorough, as going through all the logs and manually confirming each credits operation one by one is very time consuming and exhaustive. So if do you can point me what exactly is wrong at what timestamp, that will be helpful (screenshots aren't necessary, if you will be sure that you had some exact amount of credits at some timestamp).

There may be multiple credits records per day otherwise, for example when multiple game sessions were made.


I may have overcomplicated it a bit, adding dates.

Basically, if you look at my Credit Balance on Credits Log page, the last entry is for C49,750,038, dated 16th June. This is when my last game session has finished (and it was one continuous session started about 4 hours earlier, on 15th). But that is not how much credits I have in game.

Now, if you look at last daily summary on Transactions Log page, the one for 16th of June, it states that I've had C2,942,410 profit that day. And if I add that value to the one stated as last Credit Balance from Credits Log page, it will be almost exactly what I have in game, C52,677,457.

I understand that this daily summary would change should I play now, but it will still be true to the above. For example, lets say I would gain 2mil, my daily transactions summary would say profit of 4.9 mil, and my in game credit balance would be 54.6 mil, but credit balance on Inara would be 2 million credits down from that value.

It's almost like Inara is aware of all transactions, but credit balance does not take last transaction into account.

As it was one session, I would assume that Inara is displaying credit balance as it was when I last undocked from station. I took a mission that made the 2.9 mill profit, undocked, flown to destination, docked, completed mission and logged out of Elite, and went to Inara to import the data.


I would think this is a behaviour present to all commanders on Inara, maybe a case of a programatic loop that finishes one iteration too early (I have made that logic error many times myself), but I guess if it is only me that sees it, we probably should stop right here.

Piotr

I'm getting the same issue as sabrehawk - multiple resets of account link (successful) but long pause on import followed by an error and a request to reset my account link.

I have purchased a FC on launch day and I think the issue might have started around then.

PS inara is totally awesome and I don't know what I'd do without it. Hitting the donate button whilst I'm here regardless of whether I get a fix or no (:
16 Jun 2020, 5:04pm
that long pause and what looks like a timeout on hitting import has been like that for me ever since i joined i cant even remember it working once ever...autoupdates sometimes work and more often equally fail.

i have checked log sizes nothign special to be seen there, and my upload is 35 mbits so i dont think i have an issue with sending a few kb of data ^^

pretty sure its some wonky client side issue but i just cant think of a reason why it should do that....

Hi there, noticed someone else's carrier is showing up in my fleet, namely Daddy's Pride out in col 285, whereas mine is named I.C. Bianca de Jager and is currently in the Sadr region.

It seems you are having more problematic journals than others. Please make the update again, with the 206 error the update usually go through a minute or two later. It's unrelated to your local journal files, etc. otherwise, as the journals are requested directly from Frontier's server.

Orby 1Hi there, noticed someone else's carrier is showing up in my fleet, namely Daddy's Pride out in col 285, whereas mine is named I.C. Bianca de Jager and is currently in the Sadr region.

Hello,
thanks for the information. It seems your carrier met a problem with duplicate carrier callsigns (which possibly may be solved with the game patch tomorrow). The carrier assigned to you is the correct one, just the custom name and location may cause troubles temporarily. Thank you for the patience.

I suppose you are getting error 28, correct? If yes, I can adjust your import dates to skip the problematic day(s).

...

Thank you for the details. The cause of the problem is following - as the journals are split between the midnights (UTC time), I always take the journals as they are "per day" and not "per session". So, basically, I took the journal made on 15th and wrote the credits state at its end (as is recorded in the Credits) and then started to process rest of the session on 16th. Unfortunately, this piece of the journal contained the MissionCompleted events (which were added to the transaction), but no initial credits event, so no credits state at "true" end of the sessions was stored. I think that I have some solution that will take the previous credits state as a initial value in such cases, but I need to double check (there may be other problems with that, so I have disabled it. It's been a while...

But, yeah, the credit/transaction records are a little bit confusing in this case, although correct.

Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense. I was little baffled by having two journal entires for one day, but that would be whatever I've done after midnight at the end of session from previous day plus the evening session up until midnight. Then the Credit Balance is basically day behind.

There's no rush, I'm sure you have enough troubles with addition of Fleet Carriers.

In the end if you think it may cause more problems, I'm content with knowing it is know behaviour, and we may need to accept it as it is

Keep doing great job, thank you, and keep safe.

Piotr
