journal

I'd like it if, every time you got merits, it logged the amount in a 'merits' event in the journal file. I have checked, and merits are only sent once when you log in for the Powerplay event. This makes things like merit-per-hour calculators impossible without using image-to-text, which is...

Greetings Commanders It is with great honor and privilege that I present to you the very first edition of The SCG Journal. This was started as a work of passion by one of our intrepid Commanders and presented here for your enjoyment. The hope going forward is that future editions will include...

This has been already asked, and I'm pretty sure that more than once, but it still hasn't been implemented while players who are interested in BGS still need this. Fully automatic tracking of conflict zones is simply impossible for now. Adding "SupercruiseDestinationDrop" event was a big step...

Elite Dangerous has an extensive ecosystem of external user-developed tools/services. Many late game aspects are virtually impossible without them. The current set of Player Journal (v3.1) events limits possible third-party tools functionality and inhibits growth of many organic player-led...

Like so many of the community developers, I'd like FDev to fix the issues in the Journal files. Since going live, more and more have occurred, such as the localised names of suits. This bug I'd like to report is a spurious writing of Shiplocker event when entering and exiting supercruise and...

So, I went a made a thing.. it's called Journal Limpet, and the main purpose for it, is to allow players to store whatever journals that Frontier has stored, for all platforms. I recently also released so that we push those journals to EDDN automatically. :) Registration is simple, just login...

Hi, I'm developing a service to store player journals for a longer period than the current cAPI does. But I've found an issue (at least with my account), that the difference between the local journal files (PC, Steam, Frontier account) and the cAPI are too large. In the API, I do not have...

You guys are smart, so tell me, how do I calculate the circumference of a planet's orbit based on the various orbital data provided us? I want to do this using the data recorded in our journal, so any formula will have to take into account whatever units the journal data is recorded in. I'd like...

Are there any settings in ED that let me customize what's recorded in my journal log files? For example, I have system chat hidden in-game, yet my journal is still recording system chats, which is a FLOOD of pretty terrible rubbish here in Borann. I have zero need to record this garbage and thus...

Hi everyone! Alright so the game works fine with the latest Proton version, but I can't seem to find my journals anywhere. I like to save my progress on EDSM, being a part of DW2 and all that, so that's a real bummer for me. I've found some files called NetLog.XXXXXXXXXX.XX.log (with X being...

This is very simple request, but so important in the current BGS for all of us using journal for third party applications: Please add "battle won" information in player journal.

Can we please get more info in this event, specifically the name of the mega-ship, and possibly its (current) location?

Can we plase get the status of a conflict (War, Civil War, Election) in the journal? I'd envisage it being added into the ActiveStates array per faction. If it's an appropriate state then have a Progress key like: ..., { "ActiveStates": [ { "State": "Election", "Progress"...

With the revealed BGS changes for Beyond 3.3, while they propagate to the journal? If so, I hope FDEV will release the new Journal Manual at the start of the beta so that changes can be made for the parsers everyone is using (and bugs found quickly).

NB: The Google Drive link changed evening of 2018-10-30, see below for the new one! The EDCD (Elite Dangerous Community Developers) has during past betas provided a Google Drive for Cmdrs testing to upload beta journal files to in order to aid all the third party developers in ensuring their...

What does it do? sends market prices, system/faction information, body scan data to the Elite Dangerous Data Network (EDDN). This data is then distributed to sites likes like EDDB, Inara, Trade Dangerous etc. sends your commander data - ships, cargo, materials, missions, community goals, flight...

As pilot can't access to the file system on consoles (or maybe ED don't write logs at all) - Frontier Devs can add some sort of export-options on fly. Like: [ checkbox ] - Enable external journals management [ https:// ... ] service URL - allow user to specify 3rd party service...

I have a question about Journal and system identification. I'm currently working on collecting data from few CMDRs journals into database (to do some research), but some systems has the same name. Well... okay, it happens. So I can't count on system name anymore. In 3.0 update we got...

Hi, It would be nice if the information about additional rewards would be included into MissionCompleted event. Since missions could be rewarded by additional influence, it might be connected to BGS but we have no info about it in journal logfile. Also, is it possible to add an information...

With the inclusion of status.json as an addition to the player journal data offered by the game in 3.0, I started development of an application to display that data and, given that positional information is included when in proximity to a landable body, allow the player to set destination...

Currently the only way to get up-to-date data about a system through the Journal is to jump into that system. I realise that we shouldn't let a user get data through the Journal that the User cannot get in game at that moment (for example getting the detailed star properties of Beagle Point...

Elite: Dangerous Journal Server is a simple WebSocket server that broadcasts all Journal Updates. It allows clients to connect and choose what Event types to subscribe to, or to listen to every event that is added to the Journal. It is designed to be run continuously in the background and...

As I keep seeing people confuse EDDB with EDDN, and in general not know how game data gets from players to the various third party sites I've made an infrographic. As per the notes at the bottom this doesn't cover every possible interaction between every possible tool and every possible website...
