EDMC-SystemStatusOverlay

A target system info overlay plugin for Elite Dangerous Market Connector (EDMC).

When you select a target system, this plugin queries EDSM (and optionally Spansh) to show scan status directly on the game overlay via EDMCOverlay / EDMCModernOverlay.

Status Meaning
🟥 Not Found System not in database
🟧 Logged In database, no bodies scanned
🟨 Scanned Some bodies scanned
🟩 Fully Scanned All bodies scanned

Features

  • Body count tracking — Shows discovered vs total bodies
  • Star class display — Main star type shown
  • Dual data source — EDSM by default, optional Spansh queries
  • Screen-aware visibility — Show/hide overlay per screen (Galaxy Map, System Map, Cockpit, Panels)
  • Auto-clear — Overlay clears on arrival at target system, route clearing
  • Customizable appearance — Color picker, font size, position

Display Examples

EDSM only (default):

Target: Proxima Centauri
Fully Scanned 3/3 (M)

With Spansh enabled:

Target: Wolf 1453
EDSM: Logged 3/10 (K)
Spansh: Fully Scanned 10/10 (K)

Requirements

Installation & Updating

  1. Download the latest release zip from the Releases page
  2. Extract into your EDMC plugins folder:
    • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\EDMarketConnector\plugins\EDMC-SystemStatusOverlay
    • Linux: ~/.local/share/EDMarketConnector/plugins/EDMC-SystemStatusOverlay
    • Linux (Flatpak): ~/.var/app/io.edcd.EDMarketConnector/data/EDMarketConnector/plugins/EDMC-SystemStatusOverlay
  3. Restart EDMC
  • When updating, delete old version's folder and replace it with the new one instead of overwriting to avoid issues. Your settings will be preserved.

Settings

All settings are accessible from EDMC's Settings > EDMC-SystemStatusOverlay tab.

Note: Status text colors (red/yellow/green) are fixed and not affected by the text color setting.
