PowerPlay Update
This is a patch to add merit tracking
Merit tracking is kind of broken due to the journal file not being updated in real time. We could maybe modify this to be able to be used manually in the mean time, so you can enter your merit total manually before jumping between systems and have them reported in the same output as everything else. It's probably not ready to merge like it is, but I wanted to put the code here so it can be used if it's useful to anyone. In the event fdev fixes the journals to reflect merit changes in real time it should work more or less like it is, but it likely needs changes to be ready to install for players who aren't me.
Thanks CMDR. I’ll play with your code and have a think about this - as you say, without the Journal support from Frontier, it has limited use at the moment, but thank you for putting the framework in place for merit tracking.
It might be I leave this as a PR, or alternatively merge it as a separate branch so CMDRs can check it out and use it optionally if they wish.
For anyone else reading this, please vote on this issue to try to get FDev to improve journal output.
Closing this PR because it has now been reimplemented in #298, using the new journal events.
Epic!
