Discussion Commanders log manual and data sample

jgm

jgm
I've spent a bit of time looking at the ReceiveText and SendText journal entries. I've noticed that with 'SendText' the 'To' value is the channel to which you are sending the text (might be the commander name, might be 'local', might be 'wing') but for 'ReceiveText' the channel information isn't there and the 'from' will always be the name of the commander who is sending you the message. Would it be possible to have a 'Channel' parameter for 'ReceiveText' equivalent to the 'To' parameter in 'SendText' that gives us the channel? So the journal entry would look something like:

Code: 
{ "timestamp":"2016-09-25T12:51:28Z", "event":"ReceiveText", "From":"$cmdr_decorate:#name=jgm;", "From_Localised":"CMDR jgm", "Message":"Welcome to the wing", [B]"Channel": "wing"[/B] }

Also, is there any chance of having NPC text logged as well with this journal entry?

This seems rather relevant:

Did you take a look at the change that was made when the FSDJump event is emitted? This isn't so much a change as a fix, as in the netlog it came out as soon as the system was locked in (i.e. whilst still in hyperspace) and now it's coming in when entering the system.

This makes a big difference to EDDI as it uses the dead time in hyperspace to provide system info and by waiting until you're in the system it conflicts with common activities once you have entered the system (scooping, scanning the star, jumping again etc).

A Body is StellarForge's term for any of the elements of a star system - stars, planets, moons, starports, asteroid belts, barycentres of binary star systems, etc (but not rings). Your local position is relative to the nearest relevant Body.

Thanks for the explaination.
But it is then possible to add a Type parameter, to identify the Body parameter, what it is?

Examples:
Code: 
{ "timestamp":"2016-09-25T09:28:37Z", "event":"SupercruiseExit", "StarSystem":"Flech", "Body":"Saberhagen Port", "BodyType":"Starport" }
{ "timestamp":"2016-09-25T09:09:53Z", "event":"SupercruiseExit", "StarSystem":"Flech", "Body":"Flech", "BodyType":"Star" }
{ "timestamp":"2016-09-25T09:48:11Z", "event":"SupercruiseExit", "StarSystem":"Oto", "Body":"Oto B 4", "BodyType":"Planet" }

Otherwise why adding a Body parameter, if we don't know what the Body output is. It has to be identified to be usefull.

The "Body" parameter was only being written when dropping from supercruise to normal space. I can add this parameter to the "Location" event.

If adding it to the "Location" event, the type should be added here too.
Thanks

Thanks Howard for doing as much as you can, it's going to be a great start, and hopefully we can help you improve it.

As an aside, this is the best named planet:

Probably too late to consider, but would it be possible to add a dump of current material storage, on login perhaps? The log provides events for adding and removing materials, which will be helpful for tracking inventory on sites like http://collector-drone.one/ but without any ability to get a current dump of the inventory, you have to set the initial state and there's high likelyhood of it being incorrect (say if you enter initial state wrong, or forget to run the data uploader).

Sorry to say but the heat warning isn't being fully suppressed when docked. I just logged in and:
