A collection of useful scripts around Elite Dangerous
Requirements
- argcomplete
- argparse
- requests
- Tkinter
You probably want to install your distribution/OS package for Tkinter instead of
using pip. Then do the good old pip install --user -r requirements.txt
or
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
.
Pre-Compiled Version (Windows)
If you check the releases you’ll find a .zip file with pre-compiled scripts that don’t need Python installed. Mostly a) for saving myself some hassle and b) because that’s easier to distribute with my VoiceAttack profiles.
Scripts
edsm-getnearest.py
usage: edsm-getnearest.py [-h] --system SYSTEM [--short] [--gui | --text]
CMDR [CMDR ...]
Locate your CMDRs using EDSM and find their distance to a given system.
positional arguments:
CMDR a list of CMDR names (must have their location public on
EDSM!)
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--system SYSTEM the target system (must be in EDDN!)
--short short output (only makes sense with `--text`)
--gui explicitly run the GUI
--text explicitly give text output
explorationtools.py
usage: explorationtools.py [-h]
{bodycount,distancebetween,findcommander,findsystem,systemlist}
...
A collection of tools useful for exploration.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
subcommands:
{bodycount,distancebetween,findcommander,findsystem,systemlist}
sub-command help
bodycount Returns the number of bodies in a system. Will exit
with code 1 on server error and code 2 if the system
could not be found in EDSM.
distancebetween Calculates the distance between two systems. Will exit
with code 1 on server error and code 2 if (one of) the
systems could not be found on EDSM.
findcommander Attempts to find a CMDR’s last known position. Will
exit with code 1 on server error and code 2 if the
CMDR could not be found on EDSM.
findsystem Attempts to find a partially matching system that
should then hopefully be in the vicinity of the given
system
systemlist Pulls all system names starting with the given string
from EDSM
usage: explorationtools.py bodycount [-h] system
positional arguments:
system system to query
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
usage: explorationtools.py distancebetween [-h] [--roundto [ROUNDTO]]
system system
positional arguments:
system the systems to measure
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--roundto [ROUNDTO] the number of digits to round to (default: 2)
usage: explorationtools.py findcommander [-h] [--system | --coords | --url]
name [apikey]
positional arguments:
name the commander in question
apikey the commander’s EDSM API key. Can be empty for public profiles.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--system output the commander’s last known system (default)
--coords output the commander’s last known position in {x,y,z}
coordinates
--url output the commander’s profile URL
usage: explorationtools.py findsystem [-h] system
positional arguments:
system the system in question
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
usage: explorationtools.py systemlist [-h] partialsystem
positional arguments:
partialsystem the partial system name to query against
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
