Update Journal docs for Odyssey release

Hi all,

Can someone here elaborate for me the difference between a couple of Flags2 bits.

OnFootOnPlanet v OnFootOutside

Where would each of these typically get set please?

Many thanks for any help offered here.

Cheers

I have observed OnFootOnPlanet any time walking around on a planet, be it at a settlement, planetary port or outside.

OnFootOutside happens when outside of buildings but goes away when inside. I suppose it roughly matches BreathableAtmosphere, apart from when a building is decompressed.
 
I'm aware of a few new events that have shown up in the journals of community members participating in early access.
JSON:
{ "timestamp":"2024-10-22T20:40:06Z","event":"HoloscreenHacked","PowerBefore":"Aisling Duval","PowerAfter":"Yuri Grom" }
{ "timestamp":"2024-10-19T15:01:28Z", "event":"DeliverPowerMicroResources", "TotalCount":2, "MicroResources":[ { "Name":"powerelectronics", "Name_Localised":"Electronics Package", "Category":"Item", "Count":2 } ], "MarketID":3223182848 }
There are also revised power states, new powers, and a new ControllingPower property which appear in Location, FSDJump, and CarrierJump events.

also there's one additional journal event that was missed out from this version of the docs: "SuitLoadout":
when starting on foot, or when disembarking from a ship, with the same info as found in "CreateSuitLoado
@Paul_Crowther Anyway we can get a release of the API for PP 2.0? Alot of great developers are waiting to get their hands on it to help the community.
 
Reading Howard's twitter feed it seems that he has retired.

I hope someone at FDEV's takes over this thread and we'll continue to get journal updates in here.

I checked to see whether any Status.json flags or journal events have been added for using the SCO and SCO cooldown. Found none, sadly.
... latest docs https://elite-journal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ (v37 - update14 (May 2023)) :rolleyes:
 
Flags2 bit for SCO drive in status.json please?

Is this still the place to request these and/or is any devs even tracking this thread.
If not here, where might this request get noticed?

Many thanks

Installations are now appearing on the system map, with ownership information. This is welcome, but please put the ownership in the journal too.

Code:
{ "timestamp":"2025-02-26T17:07:57Z", "event":"FSSSignalDiscovered", "SystemAddress":2283144155874, "SignalName":"Mystic Highland Health Club", "SignalType":"Installation" }
{ "timestamp":"2025-02-26T17:19:31Z", "event":"SupercruiseDestinationDrop", "Type":"Mystic Highland Health Club", "Threat":0, "MarketID":3243816193 }
 
Can we get a squadron allegiance event please which lists all the factions systems and states. This would be quite a large event for many so could it be put into its own json file please?
 
I don't think there's any point in leaving your wishes HERE. You probably have to contact the people responsible directly and hope that they respond.
I made a request in a recent thread. I'm curious to see if they respond.
 
Hi Robert, nice to read something about the journal again for a long time. (y):)
Many things have been added to the game since the last released version (v37).
Will there be an update of the journal or the journal help after Trailblazer? :unsure:
 
Do we have an updated Journal Document yet???

I'm happy that we've worked out which Flags2 bits are which, however, an "official" Journal Doc would be ideal!

Is FDEV perhaps waiting until the Trailblazer's Beta is finished?

Cheers
