EDD-Canonn Plugin |Work in Progress| Readme AI Generated. Incorrect information expected.

An EDDiscovery plugin integrating features from Canonn EDMC and EDMC-RingSurvey, adapted for EDDiscovery to support scientific data collection and exploration efforts.

Overview

This plugin brings the functionality of the Canonn EDMC and EDMC-RingSurvey plugins to EDDiscovery. It allows commanders to contribute to scientific research efforts by logging system, body, and ring data, supporting exploration and predictive modeling for visibility and data completeness.

Features

User interface Implementation

Implementation of the full Canonn EDMC user interface.

System Target Info

When selecting a target system in ED, the plugin queries Spansh to determine the system's status in the database.

Status Indicators:

• Red: The system is not in Spansh.
• Amber: The system coordinates are in Spansh, but no celestial bodies are logged.
• Light Green: The system and some celestial bodies are logged in Spansh.
• Green: The system and all its celestial bodies are fully logged in Spansh.

While this feature increases the chances of finding unexplored systems, it relies on Spansh contributions and may not always reflect complete data.

Ring Survey Integration

This plugin incorporates the functionality of the EDMC-RingSurvey plugin, allowing users to collect and verify data about planetary rings for visibility predictions.

How It Works:

• When you scan a celestial body with rings, the plugin displays:
  • The body name.
  • Details about its rings, including whether they are visible or invisible.
• The plugin attempts to predict visibility automatically.
• If the prediction is incorrect, you can manually adjust the visibility setting by clicking on the ring entry.
• Once corrected, click the Submit button to send the data to the central repository for analysis.

Additional Features

Codex and POI Integration

• Connects to EDSM and Canonn’s databases to provide detailed information about:
  • System features (e.g., Earth-like worlds, geological and biological sites).
  • Points of Interest (POIs) such as Thargoid, Guardian, and Galactic Mapping locations.
• Users can store and manage personal POIs using a CSV file (my_patrol.csv) located in the plugin's directory.

Hyperdiction and NHSS Reporting

• Logs hyperdiction events and NHSS (Non-Human Signal Source) data from the FSS scanner.
• Stores unique instances of threat levels per system for research purposes.

Surface and Signal Data

• Captures FSS signal discoveries, surface biology, Guardian sites, and Thargoid-related data.
• Automatically stores data in a central database for visualization and analysis.
