Thanks for your interest in these plugins.

These plugins are intended for use with Xjph/ObservatoryCore, a helper app for the video game Elite Dangerous. You may also be interested in Matt G's suite of plugins and McMuttons' GeoPredictor plugin.

The sections below give a brief summary of each plugin. Take a look at each plugin's details page for more detail, tips, troubleshooting and changelog. If you have ideas for any plugin, please file an issue.

Installation

Each download is an .eop file.

  • If you installed Observatory Core via the installer, just close Observatory Core and double click the .eop file. Observatory Core will launch, and unpack the plugin (and any dependencies) for you. Repeat for each plugin to install.
  • If you installed Observatory Core via a .zip package, simply copy the .eop file(s) into the .\plugins sub-folder of your installation location.
  • With the latest beta version of AutoUpdater (requires the test version of Observatory Core 0.3), you can simply install AutoUpdater and use it to install other plugins.

After copying in .eop file(s) or installing any plugin(s), always close and re-launch Observatory Core and check each newly installed plugin for further guidance (ie. for setup or read-all).

AutoUpdater

This plugin allows you to install other plugins and keeps all plugins listed here (including itself) up-to-date after installation. After a release of an installed plugin is posted to GitHub, it will download the updated versions so it can be used after ObservatoryCore is restarted.

After installation, be sure to look at the each plugin's options and adjust as you like and see if any further actions are required (ie. read-all).

NOTE: To enable auto-updating any plugin listed as "Beta", below, you will need to enable the "Use beta versions" option.
