Current Known Bugs (Beyond my control)
Sometimes the OCR cannot decipher a 9, 5, 8 or 0 and sometimes will not recognize the selected box. This is due to the hard to see text on the potato sack linen background
User will just need to change that value after reloading the parish from the list.
The OCR code is complex, The image is captured and inverted in color and converted to gray-scale so OCR can work nicer. I nearly beat myself to death trying to get it perfect.
- If for some reason you get values that are way off in multiple tabs, select a different parish in the game and then re select the one you were having problems with, this will fix the importing problem almost perfectly. Why? I have no idea, but it does.
-In the works Updated 4/19/2013-
- World selection so you will have separate price databases for different worlds - Done
- Help File
-Update all from game (current parish only) - Done
-Failed character recognized replacement
-Village trading from selection
-Travel time from selected village calculation for best profit (might steal this code from my timed attack program since it converts time to total seconds for comparing
-Overall best profit item regardless of village selected option
-Things I have added today 4/19/2013-
-World selection
If you have a list of parishes already from 1.5 1.6,
Start SHK Stocks and select your current play world, Then goto C:\SHKParishData\Parish and copy all the parish files and paste into C:\SHKParishData\Yourworld_Parish where Yourworld is the name of the world you are playing on.
-Enabled the "Update All From Game" Button
- Added a "Turn off Confirmations" check box so you can get rid of the annoying "blah blah has been recorded"
- You will only have to setup locations one time, and set OCR box up into its main location once. All locations are saved on exit so all you
will have to do next time you open the program is open your parish trade window, select your parish from list and hit update
-SHK Stocks now stays above all windows on screen so you don't have to switch between windows constantly.
-Tweaked the interface so recording of prices is smoother and quicker
-Boxes that are not recorded correctly now change to the color red so they are easy to see and fix.
If for some reason a record don't come out great, just update all from game again or update each column individually with the update button.
