Freelancer Trade Calculator

[Paladinwewt]

So i've decided the other day to make a freelancer trade calculator for discovery mod 4.85 already just looking for ideas on what traders would want to see in it

I've added the functions in that calculates the price per unit , the amount of money needed to fill your cargo , the amount of profit you would make for selling the cargo .

plan on adding a save function to it so that way you can just bring it back up if u wanted to compare with another trade route , how many jumps it takes to get there

still working on it if theres anything you traders might wanna see in it just post it in and i'll see if i can add it

also plan on working on a detailed map and a list on items ( basicly a price list on how much it is to sell here and there or how much they buy it for ) < -- just post in if you'd like to see one of these ( still thinking if i should make these since it'd be time consuming just wanna see if people would actually use it )

Why not use FLcompanion?

for those who missed it: the moral of it all is ----> traders with teeth are fun for pirates. - within reason.

remember to add barge stats.


im actually serious this time.

Although I commend your efforts to lessen the Traders' Burden, we do already have a similar program.

FLCompanion

And if by "add Barge stats" you mean "taking its gynormous cargo space into account," FLCompanion can do that, too.

NOTICE

I decided after reading a few post i decided to clarify what i'm doing so heres some pics



its not a calculator that you can just search for the quickiest way to find the trade route with the most money involved
its a calculator you plug in info yourself and you get back the results ( hint the mod name discovery )
this way you can find a route that can fit what your ship can do
and actually play freelancer with some enjoyment
(i'm adding a save function so you can bring back saved results)

its still in its prototype stage so i know its not all that great but i'm still working on it

( if your intrested in the calculator i can send it to you and updates as i go along ) ( No need to install its all on a .exe so far x.x)

Reasons why i'm making this
1. i came back to freelancer about a week ago started trading and looking for trade routes wanted to make a calculator to lessen my burden
2. got tired of writing on sheet of paper to calculate price diffences
3. with this calculator i can keep my track of previous trade routes and have a easier time making new ones

Oh, this might be nice.

It would be useful to calculate the price for an escort relating to outcome of a traderun.

How about something like a storing-function for ore prices (for buying ore from players)?

now that you see what i see the long process of this idea can now form to what the public wants it to be

if you want i can create within the application a small notepad feature with a save function for small notes ( so its like a storing function )

if thats what your sorta looking for

Notice

If anyone else has ideas dont be afriad to post em x.x i'll be glad to help and try to add it on the calculator

Yes, that would be sufficient. I use a hardware-calculator for that momentarily.

Added:a drop box with all the item names(Sorry couldnt get a picture up), Added ability to change application text and background color for users preference, fixed some bugs so that proper profit is shown, shows how much of a item you can carry,





Working on : a notepad function, save text and background,
