v0.1.1 - chat
- Added a pause to prevent the window from closing in the Windows version
- Drag and drop support - place the journal file onto an eddie icon to show the chat content (read Usage section below)
- For Linux terminal usage, you can use the version v0.1.0 of the app
Usage
- Unzip the eddie.exe inside the journal folder (Username > Saved Games > Frontier Developments > Elite Dangerous)
- Make a shortcut of the journal folder at your Windows Desktop
- Open the journal folder using an icon at the Desktop
- Drag one of the journal files and drop it onto the eddie icon
- A black terminal window will be opened with a chat content from this journal file
- Close the terminal window using press any key or using a cross in the upper right corner of this window
- Repeat all operations for another journal file (start from step 4.)
Note
Elite:Dangerous journal files are named using the pattern Journal.YYMMDDHHMMSS.NN.log. There is a file creation date and time saved in this filename and there is also a file number there (journal can be splitted into several files, when you play too long). Here is the legend of these abbreviations:
YY=year, MM=month, DD=day, HH=hour, MM=minute, SS=second, NN=file number
Screenshot
v0.1.0 - chat
- First pre-release test version
- Works without installation, only unzip the executable file from the archive
- Only one mandatory parameter - a name of the journal file (with a path, if it is not in the same directory). Those are in the form of Journal.YYMMDDHHMMSS.NN.log (Journal.DateTime.FileNumber.log)
- The output is an extract of all in-game messages from the file (NPC, players, stations, etc.) - see ReceiveText event
- Good for reading chat, captured during CG missions, where a lot of people write a lot of interesting things, during a massive multiplayer ;-)
- This was the reason, why I founded this project.
- It is working now, so I could close the project and go play the game... but there are also another cool data stored in the journal files.
