Release EDDI - Windows app for immersion and more

[Kitsuniro Kuzuko]

I noticed that as I jumped back and forth between Imperial and Independent space. Thanks for the info! I probably won't worry about editing it though. I just wondered how it worked.

Hi,

there is the Honorific function in EDDI to handle this.

original looks like this:

{if system.allegiance = "Empire":
{if cmdr.empirerating.rank <= 4:
commander
|elif cmdr.empirerating.rank = 5:
sir
|elif cmdr.empirerating.rank <= 11:
my lord
|elif cmdr.empirerating.rank = 12:
your grace
|elif cmdr.empirerating.rank = 13:
your royal highness
|elif cmdr.empirerating.rank = 14:
your majesty
}
|elif system.allegiance = "Federation":
{if cmdr.federationrating.rank = 0:
commander
|else:
{cmdr.federationrating.name}
}
|else:
commander
}

I simplified it to this in my profile:

{if system.allegiance = "Empire":

{cmdr.empirerating.name} {cmdr.name}

|elif system.allegiance = "Federation":

{cmdr.federationrating.name} {cmdr.name}

|else:
commander {Occasionally(4,"{cmdr.name}")}
}

Best regards!

Idea: constant repetition of the system name gets very tiresome, so in the "Body scanned" and "Body report" speeches, substitute "Body" for the system name prefix of the body name.

I've cloned the "EDDI" personality as "Succint EDDI" but I'm not sure how best to do the string substitution.

What language are the personality scripts in and where can I find documentation? I had a look around the wiki on the GitHub site but couldn't find the right page. Any pointers would be hugely appreciated.

Is there anything new going on today?

I was playing last night and no issues, but today I am being told "EDDI Status: Companion app not operational"

I'm having the same issue.

Re-entering my credentials results in the request to enter the verification code sent to email, but I don't get the email.

Subsequently, I updated to latest beta, then did a re-install.

Not working - looks like the ED update killed it.

This website describes the scripting language: http://r3c.github.io/cottle/
Enjoy!

My install of EDDI fails to update EDDN and EDSM since Tuesday, so this is matching the 2.3.10 patch day. Market and faction data of visited systems and stations does not display in EDDB or Inara, and my travel history in EDSM ends on Tuesday.

Downstream of data seems to still be operational, EDDI is telling me about the details of star systems everytime I jump, and advises me on local market best prices whenever I visit a station. All checkmarks are still set and the companion API link is active.

Any ideas? I would also appreciate feedback from others in case for them the data upstream to EDDN and EDSM is working as intended, that way I would know that my problem is local.

Thanks in advance for some feedback, cheers!

Looks like I am not alone with this problem, see comments from Aless in the EDSM thread:

Same here

Here is a tweaked EDDI personality for explorers: it mentions the base system name a lot less during scans. I made it because constant repetition of procedurally generated system names was driving me bonkers. Now that I'm using it, I'm finding it much easier to focus on the planet names.

Before:

Scan of Blibble Wibble Flurp Bazoinga A 2 complete.

Blibble Wibble Flurp Bazoinga A 2 is a ...

After:

Scan of Body A 2 complete.

This is a ...

Usage: unzip and copy the file `Succint Explorer.json` to `%APPDATA%\EDDI\personalities`.
Switch EDDI to the new personality.
Enjoy.

Nice. I've been wanting to do this too.

I reached out to JGM directly for this. He pushed an update server side that should fix the issue.

Hi jgm,

EDDI is currently not more working. Only the jump event works fine.
Starting EDDI i get the message "Failed to load monitor: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."
Here ist the eddi Folder with the logs : http://www.dropbox.com/s/f5t80y8udoqcw23/EDDI.zip?dl=0

I hope you can help me.
Thanks

Try the beta, the latest version 2.3.0-b8 is stable and working OK here. Just turn on "Access beta versions of EDDI" in the EDDI tab.

Hope this helps.

Excellent, just gave it a try, EDSM is picking up my data again. Cheers!

Tried using the beta. Unfortunately, after 2 days, still no auto-update.

Nice work, Love it!

Thank you so much, you have no idea how crazy this was making me.

Jimi,

Here's the exception from your log:

2017-07-01T20:37:31 EDDI:findMonitors 
[E] Failed to load monitor: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. 
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> 
System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException: [U][B]Failed to find the saved games directory.[/B][/U]

It looks like your saved games folder (and/or the Frontier Developments folder containing the journal files from Elite) is not where EDDI expects it to be. You should have a folder structure that looks like this and that contains your journal files:

Users\USERID\Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\

Please check and see if that folder exists or has been moved to a different location on your local system?

Hey!

First off I'm a software developer myself. And I appreciate what you have done for the Elite Community with your software. It's really improving on my quality of life in the game. I wanted to know do you have a place to report bugs? I have one I would like to report to you that you might be able to fix when you have the time.

Thanks.
