  • 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

  1. Unzip the eddie.exe inside the journal folder (Username > Saved Games > Frontier Developments > Elite Dangerous)
  2. Make a shortcut of the journal folder at your Windows Desktop
  3. Open the journal folder using an icon at the Desktop
  4. Drag one of the journal files and drop it onto the eddie icon
  5. A black terminal window will be opened with a chat content from this journal file
  6. Close the terminal window using press any key or using a cross in the upper right corner of this window
  7. 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

v0.1.0 - chat Pre-release
Pre-release
  • 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.

Examples

Print the output to the terminal

eddie Journal.201213223906.01.log

Save the output to the chat.txt file

eddie Journal.201213223906.01.log > chat.txt
