# NonaBGS
|
|
|
|
This tool is meant to help people contributing to the Novay Navy BGS effor to create
|
|
BGS reports. The tool allows you to configure BGS objectives, and will then parse your
|
|
player journal for tasks you completed relating to that BGS objective. Once the JSON
|
|
player journal has been parsed, you may then generate a BGS report for the Nova Navy
|
|
discord.
|
|
|
|
Source code is available [here](https://git.aror.org/florian/nonabgs).
|
|
|
|
Binary downloads can be found here: [https://bgs.n0la.org/](https://bgs.aror.org/).
|
|
|
|
## How To
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the main tab to add objectives to the program. To do this, insert the system name,
|
|
faction, and, optionally, a station. Then press "Add Objective". You can find this
|
|
information in the Nova Navy discord, in the "daily objectives" channel. Objectives can
|
|
be deleted by selecting them and pressing the "DEL" key.
|
|
|
|
Once you have your objectives have been configured, you can press "Parse Journal", which
|
|
will check your Elite Dangerous player journal for completed missions. Currently the tool
|
|
recognises the following completed tasks:
|
|
|
|
* Completed missions
|
|
* Vouchers, including bounty vouchers, combat bonds, and settlement vouchers (aka intel packages)
|
|
* Selling of micro resources (Odyssey only)
|
|
* Selling cartography data
|
|
|
|
Please note that cartography data, micro resources, and vouchers only help the controlling faction
|
|
of a station. The tool is clever enough to exclude these if the station you turn them in at, is not
|
|
controlled by the faction you specified in the objective.
|
|
|
|
There is no entry in the journal if you win a combat zone. So you have to add those manually. Select
|
|
an objective for which you wish to log a combat zone. The faction in the objective, must be the
|
|
faction you fought for in the combat zone. Then click "Add Combat Zone Win". Select type,
|
|
either "On Foot" for Odyssey, or "Ship" for regular ones. Then select the grade (low, medium or
|
|
high), and how many you won. Then press "Accept". Select "Cancel" to abort. You can of course remove
|
|
the combat zone entries by selecting them, and pressing "DEL".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The window will then list all the journal entries it has found, and group them by objectives. You
|
|
can remove individual entries (if you think the tool detected soemthing you thought was wrong), by
|
|
selecting the entry, and pressing the "DEL" key.
|
|
|
|
Once you are satisfied with the result, move to "Discord Report" tab, and click "Generate Report".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The resulting discord report is kept in the Nova Navy format. Before you copy/paste it into the
|
|
Nova Navy discord, you should check the log. You can of course edit it, if something is wrong
|
|
or the tool itself missed something.
|
|
|
|
## Use EDDB information
|
|
|
|
NonaBGS can download information from EDDB to auto complete system- and station names. You can
|
|
enable its use in the "Settings". Once enabled, you must also press "Download", to download and
|
|
process the current version of the EDDB database.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the database is rather large (>200 MB), and processing it takes some time. It is
|
|
best if you don't use this feature if you are on a slow or metered internet connection.
|
|
|
|
## Nothing's Perfect
|
|
|
|
The tool itself is still a work in progress, and it might miss something. If you think the tool
|
|
missed a task you have done, please contact `CMDR Hekateh` on the Nova Navy discord. It would be
|
|
helpful if you included the JSON player journal. This player journal can be found here:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
%userprofile%\saved Games\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Handling of Elite Dangerous player journals have been moved to a separate project called `EDJournal`.
|
|
Its source can be found [here](https://git.aror.org/florian/edjournal). This project simply depends
|
|
on the binary DLL that `EDJournal` builds.
|
|
|
|
The project also requires `Ookii.Dialogs.WPF` controls, which contains the auto complete text box.
|
|
|
|
And of course, `Newtonsoft.Json` as the JSON parser.
|
|
