A tool to track and report your Background Simulation (BGS) and Thargoid War (TW) activity in Elite Dangerous, implemented as an EDMC plugin. BGS-Tally counts all the BGS / TW work you do for any faction, in any system.
Based on BGS-Tally v2.0 by tezw21: Original tezw21 BGS-Tally-v2.0 Project
As well as all the BGS tracking from Tez's original version, this modified version includes:
Full instructions for installation and use are here in the wiki →.
Since v3, upgrading is fully automatic. However, if you need to do a manual upgrade for some reason, full instructions are here in the wiki →.
The plugin generates Discord-ready text for copying-and-pasting manually into Discord and also supports direct posting into a Discord server or servers of your choice using webhooks. You will need to create webhook(s) on your Discord server first - instructions for setting up webhooks within Discord are here in the wiki →.
The plugin includes both automatic and manual tracking of BGS and TW activity data.
If you're concerned about the privacy of your BGS activity, note that this plugin does not send your data anywhere, unless you specifically choose to by configuring the Discord Integration or API Integration.
It writes to the following locations, both in the BGS-Tally
folder:
activitydata\
- This folder contains all your BGS activity, organised in one file per tick.otherdata\
- This folder contains other data collected by BGS-Tally, including your currently active list of missions and the CMDRs you have targeted.All of these files use the JSON format, so can be easily viewed in a text editor or JSON viewer.
(N.B. Older versions of BGS-Tally wrote to Today Data.txt
, Yesterday Data.txt
and MissionLog.txt
in your BGS-Tally
folder. If you run BGS-Tally v2.0.0 or later, these files are automatically converted to the new formats inside activitydata\
and otherdata\
).
The plugin makes the following network connections:
