Release [Explorer's Application] Captain's Log

Wow, this looks amazing and exactly what I want :)
Haven't seen any comments... is it working in VR? That would be great.
 
STANDBY!

CL beta 5 no longer works due to rather significant changes in the 2.2.02 Play Journal.

Do not use CL until I release beta 6! (Will be Soon[tm]!)

Captain's Log 2.0 Beta 6

Now available for download and installation, with some tweaks, fixes...

Changelog:

- new stylesheet created for overlay label
- since FDEV have renamed quite a few keys (e.g. 'Faction' to 'SystemFaction') in 2.0.02's Player Journal json files, in the bloody LIVE GAME!, take this into account - older logs will still be readable with the old keys, so imports will still work.
- Overlay widget colors now use the user-configured colours (except for white material percentage)
- tweaked the icon creation for the planet table icons
- use a normal label widget for the overlay Odometer and Distance to Sol, instead of the LCD widget
- planet table should now be sorted in natural order, for systems with more than 9/10 planets robiting one star
- Distance from Sol now reads to two decimal places, like the Odometer already was
- make sure an internal variable was being set to the current system name, at the appropriate time (i.e. right after an FSDJump)
- stop the Odometer value updating whilst loading the database - all those GUI updates kinda slow the loading down. It will display the Odoemeter value after the jump table loads
- Version bumped to 2.0.0 Beta 6

No new features for this one - wait for the next.

Boo! I liked the retro look :)

Kudos for making the changes so quickly - I don't think we had any warning of an upgrade; I actually logged a bug report thinking the game was broken before noticing the patch notice :eek:
Can't rep...gotta share it around, so +1 instead :D
 
Hi Genar, Nice to see beta 6 out. I presume I can just carry on my journey with the database I was using in beta 5 right ?

I have made a video on your app as I think it's cool and should get it some extra attention.
[video=youtube;B4ioi2PdUNs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4ioi2PdUNs[/video]

I wonder if it is possible to have an extra column on the GUI (next to the system and jump notes) where it tells you how many screenshots you have taken in that system and if you click that number, it can display the list of those shots so you can click on any and see the screenshots you made in any system you've been to. (If you don't ask, you don't get, right ? :) )

Thanks again for a superb program which I am enjoying on my new journey out into the void.

EDIT: Also noticed a small issue when telling CL to store it's screenshots into a different location. It kept insisting on storing them in the default location.
The only way I managed to fix this was to manually edit the .ini file which then allowed CL to manage it's screenshots into the location I wanted.

Rustys video got me into your program when i watched it this morning. I will be 'Having a go' at it tonight. I hope it will run with EDDI and EDDiscovery running alongside it. Time will tell!

Thanks Rusty for introducing another great 3rd party add on for ED, thats 3 now!! :)

I run it together with EDDiscovery. I have EDD on the secondary monitor and use the CL overlay mode in conjunction with Alt-C to bring the full window in focus on top of Elite while remaining in overlay mode. It's so very handy.
 
I had a issue with CL, I tried it out today and it didn't work in full screen so I closed the plugin until I finished what I was doing. When I logged out I found it still running in my task bar and had no option to close it. So I closed it threw task manager.

Well then I changed my setting to borderless and tried reloading CL I now get the error in the attached picture.
 
Sorry photo didn't upload.

Small bug/display issue. The Odometer has added a bunch of 0's in overlay (in alt c mode it's still ok)

Hmm, I don't have any decimals on the odometer when in normal desktop mode and in overlay expanded mode and only one decimal in mini-overlay mode.

Also thank you for fixing the font, it's much easier to read in overlay mode.

Edit: Actually I was seeing only one decimal 7187.0 when I entered my previous system. As soon I jumped to a new system it's as Disorganise reported: 7207.9800000

Edit 2: And the desctop and expanded overlay, got their two decimals back.

Thanks for the quick update. Can't believe they changed the documented API keys without notice in live. Anyone who did that on my watch would get a pretty severe talking to!
 
I found an answer to my issue on page 24 after a lot of reading.

I have seen some pictures of CL that give an estimate of survey data profits is that still a think in 2.0 beta 6?
 
Guys, thanks for all the awesome feedback.

Unfortunately I've had a power cut tonight (second time in 2 weeks) and was unable to do any replying.

I'm now going to finally get my dinner at 2207hrs, so I'll catch up with everything tomorrow.

I know about the decimal point thing from earlier today - I'll be having a look at that soon[tm]

Anywhoo - lahtahs o7
 
CL 2 beta 6 error

Hi guys!

Just moved to Captians Log 2 beta6 from beta 5 and everything was working just fine,

The second time I started CL2 i got an error message and reinstalling doesn´t seem to fix it.

Maybe someone knows how to fix this issue?

Any chance we can have the manual logpath (journal path) entry back under settings. It makes it much easier to run Captains Log over a network. Currently it doesn't read the journal files and I can't find any way of setting the journal log path in Captain's Log manually.

That is the exact issue I had this morning. I found you can fix it by reconfiguring CL by removing the file called captainslog.cfg

Please could you advise me on a quick thing, by the way amazing work on this tool love it.... only issue I'm having (and FYI I'm using steam version and only got the game a month ago) When I installed Beta 6 which is the first time I've used this tool today.

I'm unable to add all my previous logs it has a option in the tool and it states on your website I'm able to transfer all previous logs from the game to add them to this tool, is this working and if so how because I cannot get it to work... cheers and keep up the great work
