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.

Wazup888Quick question, how are the system faction percentages updated?



I suspect EDMC is the most common method for PC players. Run it in the background whilst you are visiting systems and it will take the data from your journal logs. Just make sure you have the Inara settings enabled.

If you have a faction I'd recommend getting someone to fly through every system each day to keep Inara data accurate. I don't know what the options are for Xbox players.


Yeah because I'm on Xbox their is not much I can do, thanks for the response though.

SzzSMy uploaded gallery images is gone. Only one left. What happened?


I think they eventually get pruned to save server disk space, with the ones with most votes and least image file size lasting the longest. At least that's my conclusion from my own gallery.


Understandable, but sad. Thanks for the reply.

Since my question may have gone down, I'll bring it up front.

Melli BeeseSorry, better off here, maybe?

Hello everybody,
I have been using INARA for several years now. Many thanks at this point for the commitment of all involved !!!  :D
Recently I started a second account. The signature should be updated automatically.
But it doesn't. Yes, I made sure that the update could take 24/48 hours. The Commander's data have also been updated at INARA,
but the signature has not. Could someone please check this ?

Sorry for my English, that's why ...

How can I delete a custom picture assigned to one of my ships on my "Fleet" page?

AtelesHow can I delete a custom picture assigned to one of my ships on my "Fleet" page?


Not sure you can, but you could replace it with a screenshot of the actual ship. I take an in game selfie and use the edit function to set it as the active ship image

Or you could delete the ship from Inara entirely, and then put it back with no picture.

You could replace the image with a screenshot of anything really, I imagine - so long as its not offensive. Or just upload a plain black / white image so there would be no image at all.

"Permit Acquisition Opportunity" in your Personal Logs > Mission Log is stamped as 'Expired' when it hadn't (although I did leave it for a while)

Doesn't appear to cause any problems, just letting you know.

Hello,

since some weeks the data at Inara isn't updated automatically anymore with the Elite Log Agent 1.3.1.606 although auto update is enabled.
Validation at Inara within ELD does not work, neither.

My unsuccessfull tries so far:
- Login out and in again
- Reinstall ELD
- Revoke key and generate a new key.

Any help appreciated

Thanks and best,
Windwards

Greetings Windwards,

Could you please PM me the application logs? I'll take a look

P.S. I think I have a pretty good guess on the reasons for it - I've released 1.3.3.612 which has a fix. Please let me know if it still persists

Arne S. SaknussemmHi Artie.

Sorry for being so annoying lately

Is there any chance to add a feature to search text in the discussion boards or, even better, to mark out specific messages to be able to retrieve them later on?

There are so many interesting tips on routes, destinations, builds, and the number of entries is so high that if you come back few days later they will be so long gone back in the pile you will never be able to find them again.

A checkbox, maybe, to add a specific message to a personal favorite list, if I manage to explain my thought...

I think it can be an easy update that CMDRs will appreciate.

Thanks!

S.

I have the full-text search on the list, but the direct post bookmarking is quite interesting idea which can be simple to implement using the current systems, I just need to double-check it won't cause some troubles with bookmarked posts from private discussions (for example, when somebody left a squadron).

RotwhylrI like Arne's suggestion, and I was coming here to post a related request.

It would be nice to have a summary page of the posts we've made.  Maybe something indexed by date, the public or private discussion board it was made in, and the first line of text for context.  Sometimes I know I've posted a how-to on something but can't find it again easily.

Arne, as a similar workaround, I've often clicked on the direct link icon of a post I like, and bookmark that link.  But I like your suggestion better.

Edit to add -

By the way Artie, thanks for all you do here.  What Inara does for the E:D community simply can't be overstated.  Kudos to you and anyone else you have supporting this site.  Your work is very appreciated.

Yeah, that should be easy to add, added to the list. It will be probably implemented with the bookmark list above.

Hello,
the signature image should be updated in those intervals, but there may be some caching involved when used on the other sites (try to Ctrl+F5 in your browser). I am just aware one issue with the Powerplay (and similar) affiliation updates, which are not flagging the signature image for an update. May that be a case?

Sir AmigaFeature request:

Add corresponding body to stations and especially planetary stations!

Thank you for this fantastic site!

I have the general star system bodies on the list, mainly for the surface material gathering purporses, but not a priority at the moment. But definitely something I am aware of.


SuperFixxxeR"Permit Acquisition Opportunity" in your Personal Logs > Mission Log is stamped as 'Expired' when it hadn't (although I did leave it for a while)

Doesn't appear to cause any problems, just letting you know.

The mission in the log is set as expired automatically based on its expiry time (when not updated by the journal import/API update/etc. sooner). So if it was left without any update for a while, it expired on its own. If the mission was completed, any update made later should correct that.

Permit unlocks are missions that complete instantly, so they don't give a separate completed update. I've got a couple of permit unlocks in my log and they all show expired. Could you not just auto-complete permit missions when processing the journal file?

Ah, good call, I completely forgot about that. I will make an exception for those missions there.
