Release How to upload complete CMDR history in EDSM

[decemberance]

Hello everyone

it's the first time I use EDDiscovery and I can't see in my profile my cmdrs' full history, achievements etc.
I am completely noob with these applications and I would appreciate any kind of advice.
Thank you for your time - Happy New Exploring Year.

I cannot help you with EDDiscovery, but for EDSM you will find an "Import journal" in the menu, just drop the journal file there and the importer will process them.

You need your API key from EDSM, insert this into EDDiscovery 'settings' and select a single- or two-way sync from EDDiscovery to/from EDSM. Before you sync to EDSM, ensure you've pointed EDDiscovery to your journal files and, if you've been playing a while, ensure you import your old netlog files.

Note: if you have netlog files but were running without verbose logging on, there will be gaps in your travel history...

Hope this helps?

EDIT: EDSM is awesome - thanks AnthorNet - but I found it struggled on the import (almost 30000 systems at the time). EDDiscovery in parallel with EDSM is just the canine's cajones!!!!!!

Thank you both for your answers, I 've done everything you said but the results are the same.
It's Ok though, only one question...
is there a file from the game folders besides the journal that I could use?
Or could Frontier provide for such a file?
For example I've been 65232 Ly from Sol but in EDSM shows only 9000Ly.
Of course this not serious problem... but if you are explorers you understand what I mean.

No I didn't use verbose logging, I was (and still I am) clueless with these applications and the details about proper
use, but I learn.

Thanx again for your time.

Did you import all of your journals? Seems your history doesn't go before December 9th?

Take a look in:

NetLog -> C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Products\elite-dangerous-64\logs\

If Steam then try:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous Horizons\Products\elite-dangerous-64\Logs

You need to point EDDiscovery to this location (Admin, Read 2.1 and former log files, select location, force reload)

I've tried this (about the path) but it's no use, I forgot to mention the most important thing.
Last month I formatted my hdd and re-installed windows!!!!So I suppose now, I know where is the problem...
Thank you again for your time, now I know what to look for next time I make drastic changes...
See you in the black Cmdrs
