Elite Dangerous Odyssey Materials Helper

My journals save on a different drive: F:/Saved Games/Frontier Developments/Elite Dangerous and there are no Saved Games/Frontier Developments/Elite Dangerous folders on my C: drive.

Is there a way to have the app point to the location my journals reside?

`Roxy

In the section where I can display All items, Irrelevant items, etc. Could you add a "Illegal Items" so I can see what I need to sell to Anarchy Bartenders?

Thanks! I still owe you a beer for the list printout!

Hello, I've tried 1.41 and 1.40 releases portable version and not and I couldnt open this app simply launching .exe file, Only launching ./runtime/bin/Elite Dangerous Odyssey Materials Helper.bat did the trick.

...it does not detect new game started if this program was already running (or at least proper name is not shown in status bar). I think that is because ....look on log:

{ "timestamp":"2021-07-26T19:43:11Z", "event":"Fileheader", "part":1, "language":"English\UK", "Odyssey":true, "gameversion":"4.0.0.600", "build":"r271793/r0 " } { "timestamp":"2021-07-26T19:44:15Z", "event":"Friends", "Status":"Online", "Name":"" } { "timestamp":"2021-07-26T19:47:42Z", "event":"Commander", "FID":"---", "Name":"---" }

On time-stamps. It is 4 seconds difference since 1st line and commander name happens in last line. However, this handler will be called on 1st line - once new file created - at best case, and that complex IF will reject event.

public void onCreated(final FileEvent event) {
                final File file = event.getFile();
                if (file.isFile()) {
                    if (file.getName().startsWith(AppConstants.JOURNAL_FILE_PREFIX) && hasFileHeader(file) && isOdysseyJournal(file) && hasCommanderHeader(file) && isSelectedCommander(file)) {
                        JournalWatcher.this.watchedFile = Optional.of(file);
                        fileCreatedProcessor.accept(file);
                    }
                }
            }

The event " public void onModified(final FileEvent event)" seems the same, except it calls different handler...didn't dig there too much.

Also FileProcessor.processJournal must be called from 1 thread with current implementation. Theoretically if game will restart fast and new file will be detected while that thing is running - results will be weird. However not possible to make in practice, you can try to break things by copying log files to folder while program runs.

First, I just want to say thanks so much for having a Linux version!

I have tried running both the portable version and the .deb package (via debtap package converter).

With the portable version, I can't get the app to register edomh:// links. Clicking "register" doesn't actually do anything. And I get these errors in the terminal: QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'

mimeType "x-scheme-handler/edomh" not found

If I ignore that, then trying to connect my Frontier account just results in the browser coming up with "Open xdg-open"

So I switched tactic and tried converting to the .deb package to something Arch can install (via debtap) but I get the following errors doing that:

Not sure where to go from here. I've tried what I can but I'm at the limits of my Cognitive Impairment so help would be much appreciated! :)

I have an issue that I hear is quite common - my backpack is full to bursting with the "Assets" (as you categorize them), but after watching several tutorial videos, the only way I am aware of determining which of those assets are/will be necessary to procure the items in my wishlist is to:

• Click the Wishlist tab;
• Scroll down to "Required Materials"
• Perform a subtraction operation for anything in green ($Available - $Required = $Unnecessary). You'd think this step would be the most tedious/difficult, but...
• Now I have to determine the most efficient use of each material where ($Unnecessary > 0) in terms of bartender trading given those materials in red for which $Required < $Available that are available for bartender trade. I wouldn't expect this app developer to solve this problem in an MVP release. This is an advanced feature (though I'd be happy to contribute! I love Java, but most of the past two decades I've spent in IT, my employers have had me in .NET, Angular, React, and more recently, Rust and Golang. I don't know how many volunteers you have, and I don't want to be too many cooks in the kitchen, just offering - I think you can PM me on here if you're interested and we can discuss details)
• This process, repeated for all odyssey items, is incredibly tedious and lengthy.

Export seemed to be a partial answer for me - I could parse that file and write a little companion app of my own. Maybe that's my solution. It just seems that the export file is really sparse compared to what I see on the screen in the app - are all of the categories and material needs exported (e.g. engineer unlocks, suit/weapon upgrades, suit/weapon modules) across all material types (Assets, Goods, Data)? I confess I haven't explored export-specific settings at all, so that could be on me.

Regardless, THANK YOU for comprehensively filling an absolutely essential need for Odyssey players who want to engineer their gear without spending a day or two in front of Inara on one monitor and a spreadsheet on another. You've done a fantastic job.

Hi,

when I use the EDSY retrofit report under ANALYSIS I get a handy checklist of what to change as well as list of all materials needed to upgrade from my current build to my target build. If possible I'd like to be able to import this as a wishlist.

Thanks!

Here's an example of the two lists as generated by EDSY:

Edit: P.S. I found the buttons to export the wishlist but I cannot find a way to reimport it. Am I missing something?

I get high CPU usage (upwards of 20%, sometimes enough to cause the whole system to lag) when leaving the program open in the background, not sure what the issue is exactly. EDIT: I've noticed it might be related to alt+tabbing somehow.

CPU - AMD Ryzen R5 2600 Memory - G.Skill 16 GB 3200 Mbit/s (F4-3200C16D-16GVKB, Hynix CJR, 16-18-18-38) Graphics - Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti desktop (driver ver. 496.49 DCH) Disk with log files (game and OS are each on separate drives) - WD Blue 1TB (WD10EZEX-08WN4A)

I noticed I had a green weapon grade blueprint. Yay I can upgrade something!

I upgraded my weapon but the material count didn't drop. I closed the app and opened it again and it still had the same inaccurate information. I figured it would reread the json file after closing and reopening. Is there an "Update" button I'm missing to reread the json file?

If not you might want to check this. Let me know if I need to do something to update the mat count. Cheers!

Steps to reproduce: Doubleclick Elite Dangerous Odyssey Materials Helper Launcher.exe A window 'Lauchning the application" opens for 2 seconds, then closes.

That's it.

Hadn't been using the app since a year (around 1.39/1.40), when it did work. Now those old versions don't work either. Any ideas what keeps it from starting? Is there somewhere a log?

Well, just possible issue, maybe nothing.

https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/39579

Happened to me twice, both times it was 5+ hours of intensive playing. Both times journal files were close to 2Mb. Both times I ran new tool ed-odyssey-materials-helper/

My current idea is, "new tool" reads file too long, so game tries to write, fails and never repeats write again.

So could you recheck read code if it gets exclusive read access which may break game and/or replace with in-ram caching of whole file then parsing it from ram (to minimize time of file access).

So currently when exporting to CSV everything is combinded into a single column, it would be much easier to read if it was as follows

Materials (First single column) | Relevant (Single Column) | Ammount (single column two sources) List Down List down (yes / No) S#, FC# Alphabetically Assests First Goods Second Then data

Currently its all mashed together, with the toggle option to ignore materials for already unlocked engineers to now sort as Irrelevant

Thus making sorting and there by selling easy, as its already sorted for us. This way when we go to sell at a bar we can easily see whats to sell as it appears in the bartender menu.

It could also be that Fdev cant sort shit correctly either, For instance in may game Biological Samples appear After C, genetic repair meds appear after T, and so on

There is no rush, because zipped bundle already nice and working fine, but appimage distribution make your software shine and look fashionable :) This link may give some info https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/Bundling-Java-apps

I'm already asked about on Discord, but let the Issue ticket be too.
