Thanks for the quick reply. "additional fields to hit on" is exactly what you thought I meant.

I also sent you a PM. No rush on replying - whenever convenient for you is good.

New Release: Parents and Logic

This is a huge update for anyone interested in using custom criteria, but a pretty small update otherwise.
  • Data for parent bodies is now available when creating custom criteria
  • New "none" operator for custom criteria allows single values to be used without having to apply another operation that doesn't alter the value (adding zero, multiplying by one, etc.)
  • Logical operations "and", "or" and "not" on criteria are now possible
  • New "rings" eventdata available for custom criteria
  • Added "Copy Journal" to right click menu to retrieve original journal line(s)
  • Minor bugfix to make sure scans of rings cannot trigger criteria
For full details on using the updated custom criteria, see here, or inside the sample xml generated by Elite Observatory when custom criteria are enabled with no criteria file present.

Something that just occurred to me is that it might be useful to have a repository of custom criteria that people have created so that someone looking to add a check doesn't need to reinvent the wheel if someone else has already done something similar.

I might build a website to host such a collection, and possibly add an option to share your current custom criteria xml directly from Elite Observatory. Assuming there's any interest at all in such a thing. Let me know!

And in the meantime, feel free to share any criteria you've created that you think others might find useful.

If only there was a way for people to share their discoveries with each other too. Maybe some sort of discovery catalog or something? ;-)

This is a great tool! Thank you! Love the text to voice, too, no pop-ups and no atl-tabbing.

EDIT: And almost immediately I was notified of two planets oddly close one another - which they were and a screenshot was taken. Really cool!

EDIT 2: Is it possible to search for bio-sites, too?

Oh, I almost forgot-- Simple feature suggestion. For the line-items that have multiple criteria, can we have a mouse-over text that lists what they are? Or add it to the right-click menu for that row? I'm frequently wanting to look at those after the fact, to see if it's something worth investigating in my EDSM history or something, as opposed to flying there in the moment.

Unfortunately not. Bio-site info is not part of the ScanEvent journal data.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. Anything with multiple criteria met should have those items listed as well. For example, Hypuejoi TE-E c8 1 c a triggered close orbit, nested moon, and fast orbit, which prompted a multiple criteria message.

If I'm misunderstanding what you're asking then please elaborate.

LOL. It just shows how much time I spend looking at discrete data sets, in tables, etc. :D I tend to assume there aren't associated rows/duplicates unless the data specifically calls for it. :)

Crap, that is the only info I'd want more. But with or without, a phenomenal tool. My first day using it and already I've taken more screenshots than in the last year...

in the december january update, FDev plan to change the FSS process, i jumped on the occasion and asked in the relevant thread to have Geo/Bio/Guardian signals in the journal.log,
maybe if other explorers ask the same thing... :cool:

It would be nice to have them added to the scan event, for sure. That said, they're already in the journal in the DSS event after you fire probes, so if you just ask for them to be "in the journal" then fdev will probably say they're already there and make no changes. FDev's poor communication skills work in both directions. ;)

can't find bio/geo sites/signals events in my journals...

thank you very much
i was searching the wrong string... 😵
i still hope for more precise long distance scans events in the journal (bio yes/no, geo yes/no, guardian yes/no, human yes/no)

edit : and a more complete system map (new tab with these signals)
