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.

Hi Artie, I just realized you already have a feature for querying by length of day. That is just what I needed. Did I miss that or is it new? Thanks again,

Hello, it's new, I have added it there yesterday.

TamworthIs there a working invite link to the squadron discord?

You should post it rather into your squadron's discussions, I guess.

I'd like to have a list of every Player (or Related) minor factions of each power. This was a feature on EDDB until the site went down.

And for what purpose it should be used? Why I am asking - there was a list of all PMFs before, but it was barely used (which is not surprising, as a list of several thousands of factions is hard to digest) and people used the search instead. So to make things less complicated and overwhelming, I simply cut some "unusable" things off and before (re)adding any stuff I also need to consider if it makes sense for a wider audience of players and it has not a very specific use for just a very few people.

Hey Artie,

Happy New Year!

Thanks for all you do to keep Inara damn near flawless. It's an essential utility. I'd be fully lost in ED without it. Cheers.

Hello, is it possible to update a carriers locations that is selling stuff when it make a jump? I have been looking for a component, it showed up in the search, I go to the system with the carrier as listed and the carrier is no longer in the system and no way to update the search to remove the carrier.

The Inara database is player sourced data. If the FC owner moved it without telling Inara then Inara isn't going to know. It's only when someone lands at the FC will it update Inara with the new location.

However, I suppose if your log files does a scan of the system and doesn't find an FC that Inara was expecting to be there it could be flagged as location unknown. That would atleast prevent it from showing up in your searches.

I suppose it depends if a system scan shows all FCs or just those within a certain range. What do you think Artie?

p.s. Happy New Year everyone.

Inara updates FC's location on the owner's update/import or when somebody docked on it or when somebody "sees" it on FSD jump. Setting the FC as "not here" is problematic, because there respective journal record may be missing for some reason (for example FC is out of the default range the signals are listed, partial journal records, etc.). So I can reliably say "the FC is here", but not so reliably "the FC is not here".

The only option is either its owner will update it (either manually or via journal auto-updates) or somebody else will see it in another star system (so the FC will be relocated). I do not want to put any manual button like "Report this FC as missing here", because it will be misused and will get false reports (either by mistake or by ill intention).

Hello, what im going to ask might be dumb for older players, but since im a new one, dumb it will be :-)
I was trying to find a station where i could buy a DBX, and was looking for one with -15 discount and close to Hakkaia, where i have my "homebase" for now.
The query worked fine and found a lot of stations/systems.
So i jumped to Mbukarla, which was the one closer with Independent faction, meaning it would be the Li Young discount available for everyone.
But when i get there the system is exploited by Felicia Winters. Come back double-checked and Inara does point it as being exploited by LI.
So i tried Zandu and the same happened.
At 1st thought it could be that the systems weren't in use or something and weren't being updated, but Zandu is listed has updated 5hrs ago.
Seen this with a few more, but no point in listing all.

What am i missing?

The console galaxy is legacy and doesn't match Inara, which is only for the PC super-race these days.

I moved the game related responses into the Elite: Game talk thread, so feel free to continue there.

In any case, yes, Inara is for Live game version only since the game split and although many things still may fit, some other stuff like the market prices, minor faction presence and influence, Powerplay, fleet carriers and other dynamic stuff may be very off. Also, it worth to be mentioned that some Powerplay control systems may be little bit off for now as it was based on semi-manual updates and these are no longer provided to me, so I am currently testing a fully automated solution (I expect to have them updated to the current in-game state later this week).

So, I'm having a bit of an issue with a log entry I'm writing. If I put a 'quoted' piece of text into it, the entire preview text just disappears and acts like there is no content to it beyond the title. That doesn't appear to be an issue with any other entry with such. How could I fix this? (There is a lot of text in it so I'm not putting it past that being the issue, because it's too long.)

On a related note - I have noticed that putting two "quote" texts into an entry will similarly result in the preview text going missing, which also prevents the entry from appearing on the main page. The entry I am referring to above had one initially containing some guideline text, which I then removed and replaced with another, different text meant to appear in the final publishing.

Thank you for the report, fixed (just re-save the entry, please). Just the content of the quote won't be used for the perex (I need to be ungreedy with regex as there can be various mess of nested quotes, etc. in there. To keep things easy and fast I am simply removing it as a whole).

That did fix it, thanks. And I do like to use the quote feature as a way to stuff things I want in the entry but not part of the ‘preview’ text, in… ever since I was told it worked so, at least.
04 Jan 2024, 2:59pm
On the second thought, I can also make an exception for logbooks to keep the quote content in the perex, too. So if needed after all, I can adjust it this way, too.

Hi. Just a idea, if suit loadouts had a "role" like ships do. Thanks for the cool site!
