RavenColonial EDMC Wiki

RavenColonial EDMC connects EDMarketConnector to RavenColonial so commanders can track colonization build projects, sync construction progress, show a cockpit overlay, and keep selected Fleet Carrier cargo data aligned with active projects.

This wiki is organized by what you are trying to do in-game.

Start Here

• Getting Started - install requirements, API key, first launch, and basic setup.
• Installation and Updates - manual install, auto-update, and release ZIP layout.
• Settings Reference - every visible setting and what it changes.
• Troubleshooting and Logs - common failures, log locations, and what to attach to an issue.

Player Guides

• Build Project Workflow - create, link, open, and update construction projects from EDMC.
• Plan Locations and Linking - how the plan-location dropdown works and why it is system-scoped.
• Build Tracker Overlay and Popout - the Need, Ship, and FC table in-game or in an EDMC popout window.
• Track All Overlay Mode - aggregate every refreshed active build project.
• Fleet Carrier Cargo Tracking - linked carriers, active-project carriers, local caches, and manual manifest refresh.

• API Reference Summary - practical endpoint summary for this plugin.

Current Release

Current plugin version: 1.8.1

Main v1.8.1 focus:

• EDMC version advisory warns when EDMC is below the tested minimum, 6.1.2, or matches a known-incompatible version.
• Safer custom auto-update downloads and validates updates into a disabled staging folder, then promotes them during EDMC shutdown after plugin resources are released.
• Release digest verification checks GitHub SHA-256 asset metadata when GitHub provides it.
• Windows lock handling retries short-lived folder rename failures and keeps the live plugin folder untouched when staging or shutdown backup rename cannot start.
• Supported data paths use EDMC-supported commander and CAPI hooks, remove the redundant unsupported Companion /squadron fetch, and keep squadron carrier tracking journal-driven through linked marketId and squadronBank.
• Shutdown-safe UI scheduling routes worker-thread UI callbacks through guarded Tk scheduling so shutdown/destroyed widgets do not produce updater or overlay crashes.
