@Oatmeal Problem And yet you are the one keeping the boat afloat.

Having had so many good mods die out from under me in other games, I really appreaciate your service.

Many thanks again

No problem, glad you're finding it helpful! But most of the thanks should be directed at blubblubblobb. He created the vast majority of the dashboard, I'm just here keeping it working

@Oatmeal Problem Many thanks for your reply.

I hope you will find time to do a couple of updates some time. The Dashboard has saved me many times, bc I can tend to click things away too quickly, and then want to know what that researched item was, or exactly where the leader was working when he retired or died.

Many thanks again for a product that makes Steallaris considerably more enjoyable to play.

@Der Orso I saw you last message, but was travelling.

If the dashboard is running while you play the game, there is no need to run save parser. It will automatically parses new saves when they are created. The save parser's main purpose is for parsing old saves.

Generally, I am not actively developing on the dashboard, just maintaining it, but I will make some notes for your requests, for next time I'm working on the dashboard (probably when Stellaris 4.2 / "Infernals" DLC releases).

For RFI-1, you can manually delete the db file, and that game should stay deleted as long as you don't rerun the save parser (which you shouldn't need to, per my response to your first question).

@Oatmeal Problem I think I messed up the 'at' in my last post, so you may not have gotten a notification lol

@Oatmeal Thanks for the reply. I like using the browser for text search.
1 more question and 4 RFI.
Q) Do I need to run the saves parser every time I start the app?
RFI-1) If I moved saves from their original location to save them and remove clutter, the parser leave all the old data in place as if they were still there. It would be nice if the parser would clean everything up.
RFI-2) Please change the messages for research to "Starting research..." and "Completed research..."--currently only says "The {Nation} researched the ...", which is wrong anyway, because that is when the research starts not ends.
FRI-3) The filter button which there are don't indicate whether they are active or not. Would be good...
Last, but not least...
RFI-4) Option to sort the messages newest first or oldest first. Mostly I am interested in the latest messages, not the oldest.

Many thanks. Dashboard has save me many times when I've clicked a notification message to quickly. Life saver.

@Der Orso this mod is completely optional. It just adds a button for opening the dashboard in the Steam Overlay, but if you'd rather, you can use an external web browser

Since the Dashboard isn't working in-game, is there any point to installing the mod? Or can it be forgone and just work with the from Github downloaded Dashboard app and the browser interface?

Updated for 4.1, which also includes some fixes for various resources in the budget, economy, and market graphs. You might need to delete your config file to see the new graphs

@mobotium the mod folder on github contains this mod for in-game access. You can browse the history and download old versions there. This should be the latest 3.14 mod https://github.com/eliasdoehne/stellaris-dashboard/tree/c640c556d20bcb64d2908eb5c36d025cbb9bc840/mod/stellaris_dashboard

Make sure you're also running the pre-4.0 version of the external dashboard program.

Hey!
Can I ask if there's a legacy version for Stellaris 3.14 somewhere? I did see your github, but only the dashboard versions were available.

this has changed my life thank you

Updated for 4.0!
There's also now a patch for UI Overhaul Dynamic: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3481162411

It'll take me some time to get this updated for 4.0. It's a big update for pops and jobs.

@Sherekmate isn't there a graph already for market prices? Or do you mean something else?

@cdcool If you're using UI Overhaul Dynamic or a similar mod, there's no in-game dashboard button. If not, it should be at the bottom right (see the screenshot in the description). Note: that button simply opens up the Steam overlay browser. There's not been a browser in Stellaris itself for many versions now.

How do you get it to look in game and not in a browser?

Wow, your mod is really cool! Have you ever thought about doing something related to commodity prices? Such as ore, food, metal alloys, consumer goods and the like?

Minor update with a few fixes and a couple new features:
- Added "Attacker War Goal" and "Defender War Goal" to the war details in the history ledger
- Listed non-primary (eg subject, overlord) war participants in the war details in the history ledger
- Added an Empire Size graph now in the Economy tab
- Existing users: you need to delete your config.yml file or edit it to include "empire_size_graph" in your "tab_layout"

Thank you so much for this mod ! Works perfectly, this is now a must have

perfect, thank you. Merry christmas and a happy new year etc etc

v6.5 (and v6.5.1) released with some more fixes plus:
- link from galaxy map to country event ledger
- link from galaxy map to system event ledger (this one already existed for a while, but the instructional text didn't display)

@Jeor good idea, added. I thought it was mentioned already, but looks like that's only on the github page, not here

can u add that comment of urs to the mod description? i bet others have had the same problem before

oh nice, thank you. i totally forgot about that

v6.4 release, with various save processing fixes. Thanks to everyone who reported bugs and supplied save files!
This release also adds some warnings in the UI when the dashboard detects configuration issues.
You need to download the latest version of the program from GitHub to get these fixes.

@Azhrel while the dashboard is running, create a new save for the game (different name than any existing saves). That should trigger the dashboard to process that save

@Jeor Yeah, UIOD changes the same file this mod does. You can still access the dashboard in a web browser by entering http://localhost:28053 in the address bar

How do I get it to read my current game? parse_saves.exe runs through every single previous save which takes some time, and I don't care about those. I've tried running the game and opening the save and then running the dashboard, but nothing is showing up in the localhost page.

it didnt use to

I think UIOD might be hiding the menu button of this mod but ill need to test it more

Honestly one of the best stats mods out there for any game, Paradox really ought to learn from these guys, also if you have any issues download visual studio and install MSVC v142 and Windows 10SDK ought to solve most problems.

Hello, recently i have embarked on a journey in sharing my gameplay experience wiht my chatgpt. i have been trying to give them a better view of our empire and your mod is so far the best solution we found. so thank you for your hardwork

@Serenity reviewing the code, the colors should be automatically updated when a new save is detected. Save the game while the dashboard is running. It needs to be for a new date the dashboard hasn't already processed. If that doesn't work, then something else isn't hooked up.

You can reach out to me in the #stellaris-dashboard channel Stellaris Modding Den discord server for help. There's an invite link in my July 2 comment here.

@MichaelMakesGames, yes I've had mods. By the way, could I re-enable colors for already written database?.. I've tried starting both launcher or game with mods and then starting dashboard, but colors remained gray

@Serenity are you using mods? If so, make sure those mods are enabled in the Stellaris launcher *before* you start the dashboard

For some reason graphs in economy/fleet/etc and galaxy map don't have colors. They are all gray. I didn't find any way to fix... Any suggestions?

@Mazen no hotkey. You can access the dashboard in your internet browser of choice by entering localhost:28053 into the address bar

Is there a hotkey to open the dashboard? Because I use a UI mod and I don't have the button

@Paravox the update is released, please let me know if that fixes your issue.

Also:
New info and events for leaders:
- home planet, country of origin, ethic, background job
- ethic changed event
- leader left country event (not too common in vanilla, but can happen with Civil Wars mod)
- leader governed planet event
- fixed leader governed sector event
- fixed galcom/federation representation events
Option to view other players' info in MP
Faster save processing
Better Microsoft OneDrive support
Improved settings UI

Thanks dude, awesome project

@Paravox there's a somewhat common parsing error that I've fixed but not yet released yet. I have some other features I wanted to finish before releasing, but I've been busy with a new job... I'll try to take a look this week and either finish that up or release without them so that at least the fix is available

Hello! this is a great project. I'm getting failed to parse saves on the commands feedback though. Not using any other mods - it is a multiplayer game so will that sometimes just fail to parse?

@AMPW no, not sure why that would be. Are you using any mods that add country types (such as ZOFE)? If you send me the save file, I can investigate. Each out in the Stellaris Modding Den (there's an invite link in the Jul 2 comment)

Hi, so I really like this mod but my own empire ("Ricks Cubic Empire") isn't shown as a selectable country, any idea why?

For OneDrive: you need to manually change your save and user data settings to use OneDrive\Documents instead of Documents, and then restart the dashboard program.

In the next release, I'll make it default to that if OneDrive is being used, and automatically correct the settings for existing users

FYI for others, the dashboard currently has issues finding saves if your Documents folder is in OneDrive

@Blacksail sorry for the late reply. If you want to reach out in the Stellaris Modding Den https://discord.com/invite/bHVez2C I can troubleshoot this with you

also the most likely culprit for the option not showing up is a UI mod such as UI Overhaul, as I did some testing when I could not see mine.

is it saying that the site failed to connect r is it just not showing any data

ive tried it in browser with the game running doesnt work

@Blacksail you mean you can't see the button to open the dashboard? If you're using a UI mod such as UI Overhaul Dynamic you won't be able to see the button. However, you can still access the dashboard in your web browser with the URL http://localhost:28053

having trouble getting the mod to work, ive got the application running in the background, running in game as well and the option for the dashboard isnt showing up, i dont know what im doing wrong here. ive set up the needed read locations for the mod as well but its not working.
