Basic Setup

Step 1 - Open the EDMC Settings Screen (again)

Open the EDMC settings screen again:

Step 2 - Open the BGS Tally Settings Panel

This time, open the BGS Tally settings tab:

Step 3 - Switch the Plugin On

Ensure the BGS Tally Active checkbox is ticked:

Step 4 - OPTIONALLY Enable Discord Integration

4.1 - Set up Discord Webhooks

If you want to be able to post to Discord with a single click, you can set up Discord webhooks. Each webhook will post to a Discord server channel of your choice and you can use the check boxes to set which information goes to which channels. The same information can go to multiple channels and you can set up as many webhooks as you like. The five types of information are:

• BGS: BGS reports
• TW: Thargoid War reports
• FC C/M: Fleet carrier commodities and materials for purchase / sale
• FC Ops: Fleet carrier operations (jumps and cancelled jumps)
• CMDR: Information about commanders you have interacted with

You can get Discord Webhook URLs from your Discord server administrator.

If you manage your own Discord server, instructions for setting up the webhook within Discord are here.

4.2 - Set Discord Username

If you have enabled posting to Discord, set your Discord username here so that the posts will be labelled with your username (otherwise it will just show as a 'Bot' post):

4.3 - Set Discord Language

If your Discord server has a different preferred language to the language you run EDMC and BGS-Tally in, you can override the language for Discord posts here:

4.4 - Set Discord Post Format

There are currently two choices of formatting for your Discord posts - Default, which creates multi-panel Discord posts using Discord 'embeds', or a text only format. This is extensible, so more post formats may be developed in future.

Step 5 - OPTIONALLY Enable Fleet Carrier Data

If you own a fleet carrier and would like to be able to post your commodity buy and sell orders and bartender materials buy and sell orders, or post accurate information about your carrier jumps, you will need to enable an EDMC setting. In the 'Configuration' tab of the EDMC Settings panel, ensure 'Enable Fleetcarrier CAPI Queries' is ticked. You will also need to ensure EDMC is authenticated with your Frontier account (it automatically asks this when you launch it, if you haven't previously authenticated).

Step 6 - Close the Settings

Close the settings panel by clicking OK. The plugin is now all set up and ready to go.
