EDDiscovery

[Disorganise]

Prior to my first using EDDiscovery, I had no real idea of what it was for. Sure I saw the 3d map and thought it was cool, but without knowing how it worked and being new the game I parked it.
When I came back to it, I still failed to find much in the way of documentation - the guys on the forum were most helpful in helping me set it up, but then I was like great....what's it for?

So...
I though I might start writing a bit of background and user guide. But I don't want to do the wrong thing or waste time re-creating something that already exists (that I failed to find).

So I attach an early draft - should I continue with it?

There's a bunch of features I don't use so I'm not sure I can userguide everything.
I wrote it in word cos that's what i have available, and saved as pdf as that's what I have available (and the doc wouldn't upload for some reason) - probably a wiki would be better but I don't know how to do that.

Anyways, thoughts? Continue or abandon?

I like it. I find that it is easy to follow and understand.

Don´t know if there is already something like this out there or in planning - that would be Finwen you need to get in touch with (perhaps send a pm?).

I seem to be getting an error in v2.7.5, I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered it:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Nice work and please continue.
I am not sure if its the right place but i want more information like you have written in Githubs wiki

https://github.com/EDDiscovery/EDDiscovery/wiki

You can get write access at that place if you want to try it.

Just updated to v2.7.6 there, I'll see if there's any change.

I'm also not getting the update message in the dialog box anymore, so I have to remind myself to check for newer versions

Thanks for thumbs up!
I've gone ahead and created a github account to experiment with, learned a few basics and then copied the info onto the home page you linked
If this is all cool, I shall endeavour to start fleshing it out.

[Finwen]

Thanks for your work on the wiki page.

I have also released a new EDDiscovery 3.0.5 beta

[Wishblend]

I Finwen,

Does your latest eddiscovery work in 64 bit?

You might find my talk with tech support helpful for future upgrades.

***********************************************************

I was trying to separate the netlogs between my two commanders.

In tech support words:-

As it was only really intended for each player to have a single commander, there's no real way to differentiate between two different Commanders

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread...ost3766922

[Finwen]

EDDiscovery 3.x is compiled for 64 bit.

Interesting thread. And i will improve multicommander with time. have some idea to make it better.

[Zed]

Woohoo, no more triliteration once Horizons 2.1 goes live
More work for Finwen to pick up the coordinates from the logs but I suspect that's a lot easier that implementing the trilateration code was.
