Yes, still the same.
Setup

Each directory contains the files HARMONIC and HARMONIC.IDX
OpenCPN_Conf is a link to ~.opencp.


I get this line in the log

16:50:41 CEST: Chart1::Event...TCMgr Not Available

Only the default dataset displays tidal stations.

Thomas....

UserTCData:

A small bug crept in.

You may make this small change to continue testing.

chart1.cpp, around line 8929

old code:

 TCDir.Append( _T("UserTCData") ).Append( sep ).Append(g_TCdataset).Append( sep );

new code:

 TCDir.Append( sep ).Append( _T("UserTCData") ).Append( sep ).Append(g_TCdataset).Append( sep );

note the added ".Append( sep )"

Carry On!

OK now, thank you!

Is it possible to have a log-message, stating if the "Default dataset" is loaded, or some "alien" set is used? I can see a support nightmare looming on the horizon, with all the crap in the alternative data sets.

There is much more to say about Tides, but that can wait until 2.8 beta....

209. Implement AIS capture of IMO Circ 289 Area Notices (DAC 1 FI 22)(FS#382) Thanks Roland

Are we supposed to see anything yet? I tried a few sentences in the documentation with the VDR, but nada....

Thomas.....

Try this data in VDR
http://vislab-ccom.unh.edu/ais/notices.aivdm

This is the data currently being transmitted from Cape Cod, MA. The file is updated hourly, I think.

Anyone in range of Cape Cod AIS stations who could test this in real life?

Good idea. Done for next Beta.

I have tried for a while, using the VDR with multiple versions of the files. Nothing at all, displays on the screen.

Hmmmmm....

No luck with your data!
The data is streaming in the nmea data stream window.

Thomas....

Very strange.

Anyone else try this?

Recompiling VDR!
Back soon!


PS Same result unfortunately!

Here is what I do for simple AIS stream tests:

1. $mkfifo /tmp/aisfifo

2. start Ocpn, set AIS data source to /tmp/aisfifo

3. $ cat {test stream} > /tmp/aisfifo

This technique takes advantage of a "backdoor" built into OCPN. See ais.cpp:3778

This eliminates the simulator variable....

Tested your method. I see the sentences in the nmea datastream window. Still... nothing displays.

I did try on Windows, didn't see anything and then traced it to g_bShowAreaNotices being false.
After setting bShowAreaNotices to 1 in the ini file, my screen is equal to yours...
I also noticed that the targets are not drawn until the next chart canvas refresh, so you have to pan the chart a little bit before you can see them if no other action happens.

Thomas....

grrrr....

OK, some ddd stepping is called for.

Start ddd and set a breakpoint at the top of

void ChartCanvas::AISDrawAreaNotices ( ocpnDC& dc )

Step along here, and see what happens. Must be taking an early exit for some reason....
