Skip system does not appear to be working #15

Open zenmetsu opened 4 years ago

Hello, I travel to system and wish to skip it, call the "skip_system" command, however there is no voice feedback and issuing the "get_next_system" command only results in the current system being repeated.

I'm not using this for road to riches, but rather with my own couse plotting software which generates a list of systems in the same format as Road to Riches. I have to put in dummy planets since Sextant doesn't seem to like a system without a scan target listed. Is there any way to force Sextant to advance to the next system in the expedition?

Bah, I figured it out... I wasn't pointed to the correct directory for the logs. However, there is a feature request that I'd like. Currently, my plotter program will look up systems via EDSM which has a maximum of 100LY radius for search. If no stars are found, my plotter generates a Road-to-Riches type of output with the system name replaced with the desired coordinates. Sextant will then paste this into the System name box when get_next_system is called, allowing for the user to manually select a star, allowing the user to proceed beyond a point where EDSM has no known stars. The issue is that Sextant doesn't equate the "bogus" system name with the one that has been travelled to, so skip_system does nothing. If there was an option to "skip_next_system" to nix the next system in the expedition without needing to travel to it first, that would make my day.

For reference, this is my plotter: https://zenmetsu.github.io/helikon/ It plots a square-helical path between two endpoints. The public version doesn't output the Road-to-Riches format since the issue I mention here is kinda limiting functionality at the moment.
