Release [Explorer's Application] Captain's Log
- Thread starter Genar-Hofoen
- Start date
This is great stuff. I'll be using this when I venture out to Sag A this weekend.
Is there any way to make the overlay appear in a way that can be captured by Open Broadcaster Software ? Currently the only way to show this widget in a recording is to record the Desktop.
It would be handy to be able to pick it up in 'Window Capture' mode.

No the only way is to capture the display. It's down to how the Qt4 GUI toolkit doesn't inject itself into the DX stream - there's not an awful lot I can do about that as my hands are tied to however the GUI library works and how it interacts (or not) with how OBS captures windows.

Ok Genar, thanks for the quick reply. I`ll get through using desktop mode. Cheers !
Captain > Commander in Naval ranks
Captain, O6>Commander, O5, correct.
AF/Army CPT/Navy LT= O3
Will the estimated system values be making a comeback? I miss them

Me too.
Oh, and I have suggestion @Genar-Hofoen:
Is every field in database obligatory to be filled? I guess no.
So, when you import data from old version, just fill what you have - system name, stars (if any specified), their classes, planets, their types - whatever user happen to specify. Let distance from Sol, masses, elements, landability, etc be empty. We need just fact of visiting and estimated system value I guess
Or just add record markup like "obtained from old db".
When some day user happens to visit same system, I suggest it will be added to log file and able to read by CL.
Unfortunately cannot check fully by my own - Added record into galaxy table, systembody, systemstar with empty or 0 values, added record to jump table - it shows entry of jump, and systemnote from galaxy, but does not show star and planet.

Stats will be in the next version of CL2.
As for writing an importer - I'm not going to spend time doing it - my time to spend on CL2 is limited and I just don't see the worth when you can just export CL1 db's to CSV.
It's really not that simple as adding in Null entries - I'd have to re-write and add in tons of checks for null entries when doing db queries. So even if someone writes a small utility to convert/import data between CL1 and CL2 db's, it probably won't work as has been found above.

I am very humbly making a request:
How does one enter notes in the System Notes or Jump notes fields anymore? Click in the box, and there is no cursor. All the other locations will not accept text, except the Search field.
I am only a old dog. What is the new trick?

Double-click the appropriate cell, click into the notes field that magically appears, type notes, click Done when done

Can you share what fields are obligatory to be shown on screen? So I can think about making converter which does fill possible data from old structure to new and finish structuring with unknown acceptable data - sou you will not have to do anything extra.
Thanks.

That depends on what system you are using.
NATO:
Commander = OF 4
Captain (Navy) = OF 5
Captain (Army) = OF 2
The O3/O4/O5 etc are US DoD pay grades I think. I find that system mostly confusing and it only applies to the US. For comparison the NATO OF / OR system is probably better.
Different nations use different names and designations for different ranks, so you will see some nations that use the English name Commander on OF-3 ranks. This is where the NATO OF/OR system gives you an easy comparison.

Thank you, oh Great One. I'm scraping together another bribe.

We have trouble enough trying to read the shoulder pips...
Is the Bodies Manager coming in v2 where we can get an approximate value of the system we've scanned and possibly an overall approximation on how much we've made thus far in our journey ?

I think I found a bug....
I had landed at Jaques and logged off. PC rebooted so CL no longer running.
Fired up the game and scanned a nearby planet.
Jumped to another system and realised CL not running so started it. It does *not* go back and read the planet scan.
So it *appears* that scans are only populated if the scan is done whilst CL is running.

Working as intended and definitely not a bug.
Imagine re-scanning all the player journal files on startup every time - too much delay. I don't like that at all.
That's why it's just a simple matter of making sure CL is running, when you play the game.
Try running a scan all logs and import, because that's basically what that is - I think I've gotten that right now this time and there will not be any duplicate entries.
As I say above - I hate the thought of re-scanning the journal player logs on startup, every startup

Fair enough, hadn't thought if that. Although I guess you could check last timestamp for CL and scan only journals with a newer timestamp.
But no worries, understand your logic o7
I've just found that CL does not always capture your screenshots. I have mine set to rename and upload to imgur automatically. This morning I screenshot my promotion to pioneer and refreshed imgur a few times....nope. So I copied to imgur manually to verify imgur was working - no prob. open CL again and got message it is already running and took screenie again and now it uploads fine.
So I went back to check some screenies yesterday that I had assumed just didn't work....and there they were in all their un-renamed glory. Sorry, I don't know the pattern

I use EDD and CL simultaneously - have done for about 10 months
Just don't configure both to do screenshot renaming
