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.

ArtieYes, the old Inara will stay here as long as possible. There will be no further development of it (except critical fixes and compatibility adjustments), but until it will start to block me in the next Inara development and improvements, I will keep it live. But give it a try again, I made some minor adjustments to the color scheme a couple of days ago and also added an option for smaller texts and buttons today, so maybe you will like it better now.


The color scheme does look a lot better now from what I remember. I think the orange was a lot brighter the first time so it is good seeing the colors more similar to old Inara now. I might try to get my brain adjusted to it some time in the future.

I may be biased, but honestly, I cannot go back to old Inara now. It may be a shock at the first moment, but once you get used to it, it's quite painful to do things in the old version (at least for me).

ArtieThe ship target loadout import is unfortunately a thing for Coriolis team I cannot affect (they need to send the loadout back to Inara). You can use EDSY for that however.

I mentioned import from EDSY, not Coriolis. It works flawlessly in the old layout, I use it quite often. But it doesn't work in the new layout.

In this free space on the right hand side of the page I'd like to see the main content of the page, I think. A lot of pages are really dense on information, the more space is available for all this numbers the better.

Thanks for Black Market icons on commodities search! Updates arrive in a blink of an eye!

@Artie,

Hey. Is there a reason or option that I'm missing that's making me log-in from scratch each time I open a new browser window? Didn't happen with the old site, I was usually logged in unless I cleared browser history, cookies, etc.

For that matter, I tried importing from SLEF, not via anything to do with any kind of API-based export, and it also didn’t work. Even copying the SLEF code that Inara itself generates (for the current layout, for example) didn’t do anything.

Ah, for some reason I have read Coriolis there, my bad. I will take a look on that then.

Aleksander Majjam@Artie,

There is no reason for that, it should work same as before. Please check if there is an 'elitesheet' and 'esid' cookies set in both of the windows, that are the cookies storing the persistent/current session information and if that's possible, try a different browser or try to disable all your browser plugins, to eliminate possible interference from this end. I am not unable to replicate the problem, so if the issue will persist, please try to describe step-by-step how to replicate it since logout and a new login (including the browser version). Thanks.

HaLfY47Greetings! Just wanted to remind that the new "Unclassified Relics" aren't still recognized on Inara. I have a bunch on my carrier, and after updating it's data, they aren't shown on Inara's carrier cargo manifest.

If you need any data like game logs for the Item ID or something like that, please contact me, as I'd be more than happy to help.

Thanks! The commodity was added, so you should see it after the next import.


Woah, that was really quick! You guys are amazing, keep up the good work, you're such a proud to all the Elite community!

By the way, the Spanish official name for the Unclassified Relic" is "Reliquia no clasificada"

Manual SLEF import from EDSY should be fixed at this very moment. The "click the button" import from EDSY doesn't work, because the cross-site request forgery controls (so it won't load the session cookie after EDSY's POST request as a protection) and I wonder how long it was going unnoticed. I will talk to Taleden about that, there will be some changes needed on my and EDSY's end. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Which, by coincidence, leads me to Aleksander's problem - isn't it somehow related?

Hey!

Sorry but i made a mistake in my previous message. It's "Reliquia no clasificada", instead of "Reliquia sin clasificar"
It means the same but hey, better use the exact words.
I edited the message to reflect the change.

Some features, that can be very interesting.

"Commander->Inventory and crafting->Missing components" is very very very useful but "data" and "goods" are missings. Only "materials and components" appear in list.

Exemple to upgrade a Karma L-6 , we need "Weapon Schematic". You can see it in "crafting list->personnal equipment" but it does not appear in "missing components".

thank you

Hello Artie, in the new version, the galleries aren't featured as prominently on the front page as they used to be (or rather, not at all).* Don't you think that's an attractive eye-catcher?

*Unless I'm blocking something: I notice a blank square area at top right, underneath the Support Inara banner, that might fit just that. I browse in Firefox private mode and use uBlock. Though a swift look at less restrictive modes doesn't seem to change anything.

.... Wait wait wait, EDIT: of course I spoke too soon, I see now several recent sample images are in fact spread out along the left-hand column. OK That's probably an improvement, never mind Well, perhaps it's not so immediately clear they in fact lead to a gallery. If you catch my drift.

What definitely seems to be blocked at my end is the radio banner, a little lower down the right-hand column. There's a caption there "Some icons used here are from EDAssets site. Some of the radio stations are provided by Soma," presumably the radio widget is above that. But so it doesn't appear at my end, there's another blank space there. Wasn't a problem before.

I have a suggestion to not shrink My Favorite Star Systems (on the right side) when I am on the Star System page. There is nothing more on the right side, so it is not useful and almost every time I have to click Show More as the shrinked version is not the list of the most used ones.

Thank you for the suggestion, the goods and data should be displayed there now.

Some people are having a ton of them for unknown reasons, so I needed to put some limit there to not break the layout. How many do you have? Maybe some adjustment will be still possible.

Mac4Hello Artie, in the new version, the galleries aren't featured as prominently on the front page as they used to be (or rather, not at all).* Don't you think that's an attractive eye-catcher?

Hmmm... yes, I will think about making more clear the images on the front page lead to the gallery, thanks.
There is no radio banner on the front page anymore, it's just in the menu. What you see blocked are the regular ads there. You can also consider becoming Inara supporter to not see any ads on the site and getting custom CMDR profile backgrounds extra (preview below).

Great Thank you

Thanks again, Artie.

Under our Missing Components section, there is now the phrase "No components to exchange, alternative exchange possible." What's this alternative exchange about?
