EDDiscovery 18.X is now out. Modules panel upgrades and Engineering

Did you download the .zip from the bottom of the page?

The 'portable' version should work just by decomressing the .zip to a suitable place & running the .exe there.
If you download the .exe instead, that's the installer.
 
Hello!
I found two bugs in the add on menu. One of them is kind of funny. Here is a video of it.


To put it simple:
1 - a button becomes bigger every time you open and close a colum in the add on menu. The button can become big, realy big. It just doesnt stop.
2 - if you open a colum that was previously closed the entries in said colum disappear behind the other colums.
 
Thanks, Red Fox. Spansh tool is several times better.
I would like to have the same built in eddiscovery. There is an excellent search for bodies with a bunch of variables and combinations, but only in the log. As I understand it, there’s nothing complicated, to transfer this tool to a search in the EDSM database. I am ready to download and store gigabytes. Hope to be heard.

Unfortunately, two decades of experience in IT projects either building or "just" transferring functionality into new systems would have to disagree with that statement. There's always dependencies, performance, priorities, usability, availability, etc. Anyway, feel free to create a EDD-ticket for it, the devs might have a different take on it, and only theirs counts.

If you really are, feel free to download all bodies, systems, stations, etc. from EDSM, pop them in a DB on your end and run any query you can think of.
 
Shortest-path algorithms are notoriously slow, though not quite as bad as the Travelling Salesman Problem. Spansh may be using several different logical shortcuts, some of which could be very memory / storage / CPU intensive. EDD would probably need to come up with its own solutions for how to implement something like that, with the idea that it's running on end-user hardware that may not be as robust as the Spansh server.
 
Edd is mostly about your work, your discoveries. I'm not going to reproduce work by other sites which deal with the global user discoveries.

Secondly, the search algorithm for routing is based on an efficient method for straight line journeys, not the most clever algorithm. We had that years ago and the computation with so many stars caused the program to stall.
 
Hi,
I've been trying to use the software, but the lag it introduces just makes me want not to. PC is 9700k@5.1GHz, 32Gb RAM and a 2080ti FE... should be plenty.

I must admit on first using it I had some lag, I suspect caused by a memory leak, it has been better since, I will test the new version tonight.
 
My guess is the database. It was downloading it on a mechanical drive. I have since limited it to the extended bubble and moved it to an SSD, much more responsive now!
 
Database is v.large now. Limit it using the settings page to select what sectors you want to store. Or turn it off. An SSD is recommended.

Will this have an adverse effect using EDD on an account which is out in the Heironymous Delta? I have accounts only in the bubble and one out there in the black so if I restrict to just the bubble what are the drawbacks for the exploration commander?

I believe you can limit it by date as well, only load the last X months of data.
