There are two issues with the trade helper at the moment.

Using trade-helper(mk1) with origin Elysia, keep I want to buy selected and do a search for Sidewinder.
The preset distance(20ly) seems to be working fine.
BUT:
1) one entry shows Elysia() which is my fault again as I had misspelled the station name.
I typed in all the stuff like shipyard, .. later I found the typo and renamed the station.
The warning about renaming is correct as I had to type the stuff in..again(under the *correct* station name).
There might be the entry still in the database but it is not shown.
The tradehelper find it nevertheless and shows it(my guess).
I dont know nothing about databases but.. if possible instead of renaming the wrong items could be removed to avoid this?

2) Additional, the 30ly and 40ly ranges working strange..
Set to 30ly hides anything except the local..
Set to 40ly shows nothing at all..

hi there,

when renaming stations/objects, any data tied to the old name wont be deleted. What is the station with the wrong name, so I can remove the data linked to it.

as for the range, what settings are you using? it could be something to do with overflowing certain limits, although id like to check.

Well, as I said above I tried the default 20ly range which was working.
The other ranges are faulty. Just tried a second ago. Same results as above.
For example:
origin Elysia, range set to 30ly searching for sidewinder(tradehelperMk1):
NO result.
But Ingamba (28ly away from Elysia) got sidewinders in stock..

hi there,

sorry I wasnt following earlier, didnt see the part about the sidewinder - doh!

Well looking at the code, it was based on the old method of doing things (the one that overloaded the server). I have now updated the code to the modern version. The old code used to struggle with large amounts of systems, and hence why results used to disappear. You shouldnt find this happening any-more.
