Updates to the universe section

Sunday 4th January, 2015 · Posted by Roguey · 0 comments

If you have been using my Elite: Dangerous universe section you may of noticed a few changes. In the first update I changed how the map is displayed, from a fixed 2D map into a draggable map with zoom. I did try and make a full 3D map but found it more confusing, used more resources and didnt use standard HTML controls. So I back-tracked to my 2D version;



This map has also been rolled to the rare-goods area, so now a map is displayed instead of a list.

In the second update today, I have added fast ware updates. This allows you to click a button, and update a price for a good. You will still be required to log-in, to stop inaccurate prices (spam bots love to click on things).



However this quick-update can not add wares to the list. Wares are added the same way as before - by using the pull-down at the bottom of the section. If you prefer you can still use the pull-down for updating.

However, until there is a API of some-sorts, prices will require manual updates. Although hopefully I made the process a little easier/quicker now. I may see if its possible to add this quick-update to the trade-helper page.
