Never mind. Found this information earlier in this thread:
Followed those directions and the update went swimmingly. |

So I just found out this program exists. And I love it! Had to overcome a few problems but finally got it installed and it works like a charm :) What I was wondering is this: I usually play on mac using steam, but I haven't been able to run it using wine. But I noticed that at some point you considered putting the source somewhere online. Are you still doing this? If so, I would like to try to make a version compatible with mac (and maybe steam). |

Thanks for your comments. I do plan to open source the Trade Profiteer. Currently I'm working to spawn off a few of the Trade Profiteer's internal components as separate projects. I've also got another feature I'd like to implement as well. Unfortunately the fact I work full time has been a damper on a lot of this, and work on the Trade Profiteer is something I do in my off time. With Steam, I know some of the technical specifics behind how to support it. The question is whether doing so would violate any licensing or service terms regarding playing Y!PP through Steam. I haven't looked into it, though, so I won't make any comments on it until I verify what can be done. Mac support has been requested a few times. I've been reluctant to move forward in the past simply because I don't have access to a Mac. I'd be interested in knowing what issue you're having with Wine as I've tested the Trade Profiteer on Linux with Wine and not had any issues -- I'll be incorporating some kind of support for this into the deployment process. ---------------------------------------- On Viridian as Arcturis, Captain of The Rum Running Dragons and King of Demons and Damsels |

It's nice to hear you're still working on this! I've actually been looking into making something that gets data from my stall, but I haven't yet figured out how to do this. Which is also a big reason I'm interested in the open source files, I'm hoping to learn something from it. I looked at the errors I got from wine again and it turns out it was actually a problem with wine not being compatible with the latest version of xcode (from which it uses some components). I didn't realise this at first because I don't have much experience with wine. I'm downgrading Xcode right now and I'm positive it will work this time, as, like you said, if it works on linux it should also on mac. |

Gets data from your stall? Care to be more specific as to what you're looking for? The Trade Profiteer can read the market data when looking at it on a stall or ship, so that should not be an issue, but I'm thinking it's not the market data you're wanting, correct? ---------------------------------------- On Viridian as Arcturis, Captain of The Rum Running Dragons and King of Demons and Damsels |

I want to get the data from the ordering screen as well. This probably isn't really worth the trouble of making a program for, as you'll still have to click each product manually to get the data, but I would like to do it more as a learning project. |

Hi! i have this same problem as well... i had installed the merge ocean file properly , and my client is running on the "for the trade profiteer" version as well. I had checked that the program states it is for my ocean , emerald as well. My screen is also on the market commodities page. However , whenever i try to import data all i get is an error messages saying " Could not discover any running instances of puzzle pirates with the trade profiteer component attached". Thanks! |

Please provide the operating system version on which you are attempting to run the Trade Profiteer. Please also provide the Java version you are currently running -- under the About tab in Options when running Y!PP. ---------------------------------------- On Viridian as Arcturis, Captain of The Rum Running Dragons and King of Demons and Damsels |

Under File->Options, you probably noticed the option "Application Logging". Change the "Application logging level" to "Debug" and attempt to import market data again. The log file will be written out to the "Colony West Software Company\Trade Profiteer" folder under your Documents folder, same place where it stores the database file. After attempting to import the data, open that log file (should be called "trader.log") and paste what it writes out into a PM to me. After you've done this, you might want to change the Application logging level back to Off. Thanks. ---------------------------------------- On Viridian as Arcturis, Captain of The Rum Running Dragons and King of Demons and Damsels |

Several users have reported to me via PM that they are experiencing trouble running the Trade Profiteer. In particular they are all seeing the same problem. I will admit that I've been stumped and didn't now where to look. Until a PM I received yesterday that shined a bright light on the problem. Courtesy of some astute observations from a keen-eyed user, I now know what the issue is and, more importantly, how to fix it. I'll be prepping a code fix later this week and should have something out by the weekend. Basically the issue comes down to an assumption I made about the Java Runtime Environment that doesn't always hold true. This has also been corroborated by a bug report that has been logged with Oracle. Stay tuned and let me know if you have any questions.

New version has been released: 2.0.3107 This version should alleviate the problem that quite a few people have been experiencing lately. It also includes a re-engineered version of one of the Trade Profiteer's core components, which should allow for a significantly faster data import on the largest data sets, such as from Lima and Dragon's Nest on Meridian. Feedback is always welcome. Let me know if you have any issues. ---------------------------------------- On Viridian as Arcturis, Captain of The Rum Running Dragons and King of Demons and Damsels |

New version: 2.0.3321 Some performance improvements related to importing data. Also changed the Market Review tab so that it will only refresh after importing data if the island you have selected had new data brought in. ---------------------------------------- On Viridian as Arcturis, Captain of The Rum Running Dragons and King of Demons and Damsels |

Not going to lie this is the best program you can use with PP. I appreciate you keeping it updated all this time. ---------------------------------------- Icyman What I say is my OWN opinion. |

I tried downloading the application from the website, but it never brought up an application downloader. I also tried other browsers, but no luck. ---------------------------------------- Saulitius, Profiteer on Meridian Ocean |

New version: 2.0.3412 I expanded the "Plan it..." feature on the "Island to Island" tab to include a "Calculate" button. Now you can whittle down the commodities list returned by the profit calculation to whatever size ship you're going to be using, then recalculate the profit based on what you've provided. If you want to clear out what you've entered and recalculate based on the full list, just click the Refresh button on that tab -- the button to the right of the "Plan it" button. ---------------------------------------- On Viridian as Arcturis, Captain of The Rum Running Dragons and King of Demons and Damsels |
