4.0.0-a1

Warning

ALPHA RELEASE - POTENTIALLY UNSTABLE - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

New Features:

• Localisation. The plugin is now translated into French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish and Turkish. For the user interface, it will pick up the language you have set EDMC to use. If anyone would like to help translate into other languages, please post a message on the BGS-Tally Discord.
• Independent language for Discord posts. You can separately set the language that is used for Discord posts, in case the Discord server has a different preferred language to the one you run EDMC in.
• Added logo to main window and all window icons
• Added options to only post your BGS activity, only your TW activity or both (defaults to both), for CMDRs who want to selectively post a single type of activity.
• Now track and report Search and Rescue (SandR) hand-ins for the BGS, tallied against the controlling faction at the station handed in.
• Now track side objectives in space conflict zones, but with some caveats:
  • Capital ship defeats 👑 should be 100% reliable
  • Spec ops wing kills 🔠 are tallied as soon as BGS-Tally finds the first detectable kill in the spec ops wing. This may not be the first spec ops kill you make because the order of events logged by the game is not predictable, so we need to tally as soon as we spot a kill. Just make sure you finish off those spec ops wings CMDRs!
  • Enemy captain kills 👨‍✈️ will sometimes be tallied and sometimes not, for the same reason.
  • Enemy propagandist wing kills ✒️ are also tallied as soon as BGS-Tally spots the first detectable kill in the propagandist wing, for the same reason.
• Added tooltips (hover text) to all abbreviations on screen, and a few of the controls and buttons that are not self-explanatory.
• Added support for different Discord post formats. So if your squadron or group would like your discord activity posts to look different, this can be done. Currently it's a programming job to create a new format (so ask your friendly Python developer to get in touch, or send in a suggestion for a new format to the BGS-Tally Discord server).
• Added popup CMDR information on the in-game overlay when you interact with a CMDR.
• Added 'Copy to Clipboard' button on CMDRs information window.
• Added 'Copy to Clipboard' button on Fleet Carrier information window.

Changes:

• Added new logo as avatar for all posts.
• Removed 'modified by Aussi' references, as Tez (the original author of BGS-Tally) is now recommending this version to users.
• Each trade buy / sell band is only reported if it is non-zero, avoiding clutter in the report.
• Changed the font used in the Discord preview panel on activity windows to a font that supports more emoji and more closely matches Discord posts.
• Tweaked the discord webhooks layout in settings to include horizontal lines for better clarity.
• Unfortunately had to remove the functionality to log CMDRs scanned while in a dropship / taxi as we can no longer get the CMDR name from the game journal.
• The layout of the CMDR information panel in the CMDRs window has been tidied up.
• Only enable the 'Post to Discord' button on all windows if a Discord username is set in the settings.

Bug Fixes:

• Thargoid War VIP passenger evac missions weren't being counted.
• Was incorrectly reporting BGS activity in TW systems.
• Was incorrectly reporting TW search and rescue collection in non-TW systems.
• Activity window wasn't showing all trade purchase and profit bands.
• If you changed your Discord webhook settings after previously successfully posting to Discord, then tried to post again in the same tick, it would fail.
• If any Discord post got bigger than the limits imposed by Discord, it would silently fail to post. Now, the post is truncated to the Discord limit and '...' appended to the end.
• The 'Post to Discord' button on the CMDRs information window was sometimes becoming enabled even if there were no valid discord webhooks set up.

API Changes (v1.5):

• /activities endpoint: Search and Rescue handins now included at systems/[system]/factions/[faction]/sandr, containing damagedpods, occupiedpods, thargoidpods, blackboxes, wreckagecomponents, personaleffects, politicalprisoners and hostages as properties.

4.0.0-l10n

Warning

ALPHA RELEASE - POTENTIALLY UNSTABLE - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

This is a pre-release alpha version for translators to test their translations.

3.6.1

Bug Fixes:

• For some CMDRS, TW system and station data was omitted for some systems.

3.6.0

New Features:

• BGS-Tally now tracks carrier commodity buy and sell orders (in addition to the existing bartender materials buy and sell orders). These are tracked in real time as you change your carrier orders. They are posted to Discord with your materials orders.
• You can now pin one or more systems to the in-game overlay, to permanently show your work in those systems.
• Adding a friend is now logged as a CMDR interaction.
• Thargoid Titan bio pod collection and hand-in tracking 🏮. You can hand them in at any rescue ship, but they are tallied in the system they were collected.
• If you accidentally target an ally ship in a space CZ, you now get a warning on screen.

Changes:

• The tracking of bartender materials buy and sell orders is now updated in real time, as you change them in your carrier. Previously, you would have to wait for the next CAPI carrier data update, which would be at the most every 15 minutes.
• The Carrier information window has been reorganised to show commodities and materials.
• All 'Post to Discord' buttons now only allow a single click. They temporarily disable themselves for a few seconds after posting, to avoid accidental multiple posts.
• No longer report BGS work for systems in Thargoid War.
• Activity windows no longer show BGS factions and data for Thargoid War systems, instead now showing a message stating that the system is in TW state.
• Activity windows no longer show a spurious 'Enable' checkbox (which didn't do anything) for systems that have no factions, instead now showing a message stating it is an empty system.

Bug Fixes:

• Wasn't omitting BGS activity from systems in TW state in 'modern' style Discord posts, only text posts. Now omitted in both.
• Not all thargoid activity was being omitted when a system was switched off.
• A lot of special characters used in TW reports were not displaying correctly in the in-game overlay.
• Fixed a rare crash that would stop the in-game overlay working.
• Sometimes BGS-Tally wasn't realising you had left a megaship scenario.

API Changes (v1.4):

• /activities endpoint: Added thargoidpods to systems/[system]/twsandr.

3.5.0

New Features:

• New 'detailed INF' report. This is optional and is off by default, but when enabled gives a detailed breakdown of the number of missions completed at each +INF level. For example: INF +19 (➋ x 4 ➌ x 2 ➎ x 1) means you completed 4 missions awarding ++, 2 mission awarding +++ and 1 mission awarding +++++. Manually tallied INF is simply added or removed from the overall total.
• When secondary INF reporting is switched on, now indicate which INF is primary 🅟 and which is secondary 🅢. This can also combine with detailed INF reporting to give a full breakdown of primary and secondary INF.
• New 'detailed Trade' checkbox, which is on by default and when enabled shows the full trade breakdown into brackets 🆉 | 🅻 | 🅼 | 🅷, when disabled all brackets are combined into simple totals for trade purchase and trade profit.
• When multiple CMDRs are selected in the CMDR window, 'Post to Discord' now posts a concise table containing all the CMDRs in the list, with Inara and Inara squadron links where available. With a single CMDR selected, posting is exactly the same as it was.

Changes:

• Activity windows (latest Tally / previous Tally) will now remember their positions within a game session. Height and width is still automatic to avoid truncated content if it's larger than the last time you opened the window.
• Re-opening an already open activity window (latest Tally / previous Tally) will no longer open two copies of the same window. Instead, the old one will be closed and a new fresh window with latest data opened at the same position and size on screen.
