Purpose

The edi tool allows all the other tools to be run more quickly within a simple interactive interpreter.

Example

python edi.py

#!text
EDI> distance Sol Alioth

Sol
    ===   82.53Ly ===> Alioth

EDI> set_ship -f 6A -m 521.8 -t 16
EDI> fuel_usage Sol Sirius Altair Aulin "LP 98-132" Sobek

Sol
    ===  8.59Ly / 0.14T / 15.86T ===> Sirius
    === 25.05Ly / 2.25T / 13.61T ===> Altair
    === 36.73Ly / 6.01T /  7.60T ===> Aulin
    === 12.51Ly / 0.35T /  7.25T ===> LP 98-132
    === 35.73Ly / 5.43T /  1.82T ===> Sobek

Usage

Optional Arguments:

• -v N/--verbose=N: sets the output level (0-3, with 3 being debug output)
• --eddb-systems-file=F: sets the systems.json file to use (default: eddb/systems.json)
• --eddb-stations-file=F: sets the stations.json file to use (default: eddb/stations.json)
• --coriolis-fsd-file=F: sets the frame_shift_drive.json file to use (default: coriolis/frame_shift_drive.json)

Note that these arguments can also be used with any of the individual commands when run standalone (but not within EDI).

Additional Commands

set_ship

This command allows you to store the ship to use for future commands; this means you no longer have to include these options in commands which require ship stats or jump range, such as edts, fuel_usage and galmath.

e.g. set_ship -f 5A -m 703 -t 16

Required arguments:

• -f F/--fsd=F: set the FSD of the ship, in the form "6A" or "A6"
• -m N/--mass=N: set the mass of the ship with no fuel or cargo on board
• -t N/--tank=N: set the full fuel tank size of the ship

set_verbosity

This command allows you to set the verbosity level from within EDI; it's equivalent to running edi.py with the -v flag.

e.g. set_verbosity 3

help

Lists commands if used with no arguments, or provides help for a particular command if provided.

e.g. help, help close_to

quit / exit

Does exactly what it says on the tin :)
