schemas/fsssignaldiscovered README: Reworked for changed schema
* Purely event-based batching, no timer. * Outline Horizons/Odyssey differences. * Point out that USS are manually scanned, so different in time nature. * StarSystem renamed from systemName. * StarSystem and StarPos now mandatory.

### Batching

### Batching
|
||||||
You MUST put several `FSSSignalDiscovered` events to an array `signals` which is key of `message`. Minimum size of

|
single `signals` array in the message. Minimum size of `signals` is 1 item.
|

|
|
||||||
Do not make a request for every single event.
|
Do not make a request for every single event other than where they occur
|
||||||
|
singly (such as when a player utilises the FSS to zoom into USS individually).
|
||||||
Possible algorithm of batching:
|
|
||||||
1. If the event is FSSSignalDiscovered, store it to the temporal list and proceed to next event.
|
Suggested algorithm for batching:
|
||||||
2. If the next event is also FSSSignalDiscovered, repeat 1.
|
|
||||||
3. If the next event is any other or there is no other event for more than 10 seconds, send the

|
`CarrierJump` events. This is in order to add the top-level augmentation
|
||||||
|
of `StarSystem` (system name) and `StarPos`. You will need to record:
|
||||||
### Elisions
|
1. `SystemAddress` - for cross-checking.
|
||||||
You MUST remove the following key/value pairs from the data:
|
2. `StarSystem` - name of the star system.
|
||||||
|
3. `StarPos` - the galactic co-ordinates of the system.
|
||||||
- `TimeRemaining` key/value pair.
|
2. If the event is `FSSSignalDiscovered`, store it to the temporal list.
|
||||||
|
3. If the event is any other, then:
|
||||||
You MUST refuse to send the whole `FSSSignalDiscovered` event if `USSType` key has `$USS_Type_MissionTarget;` value.
|
1. check if it is `Location`, `FSDJump` or `CarrierJump` - if so you should
|
||||||
|
use this new location in the message.
|
||||||
### Augmentations
|
2. If it is not one of those events then you should use the tracked
|
||||||
#### horizons flag
|
location from the prior such event.
|
||||||
You SHOULD add this key/value pair, using the value from the `LoadGame` event.
|
|
||||||
|
Now construct the full `fsssignaldiscovered` schema message using the
|
||||||
#### odyssey flag
|
tracked location and the stored list of events. *You **MUST** check that
|
||||||
You SHOULD add this key/value pair, using the value from the `LoadGame` event.
|
the `SystemAddress` for each `FSSSignalDiscovered` event matches the
|
||||||
|
tracked location.* If there is a mis-match then drop that event.
|
||||||
#### systemName
|
4. Each batch of signals will be contiguous and thus should have the same
|
||||||
You SHOULD add a `systemName` string containing the system name from the last `FSDJump`, `CarrierJump`, or `Location`
|
timestamp, perhaps +/- 1 second at the ends. As such you only need one
|
||||||
event There exists problem when you gets `FSSSignalDiscovered` before
|
single `timestamp` in the `message` and should use that of the first event
|
||||||
`FSDJump`, `CarrierJump`, or `Location` event, so you MUST cross-check it with `SystemAddress` or don't include at all.
|
you include.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### StarPos
|
Point 3i/ii above are because in the current (3.8.0.406) Horizons client the
|
||||||
You SHOULD add a `StarPos` array containing the system co-ordinates from the
|
`FSSSignalDiscovered` events arrive after `Location`/`FSDJump`/`CarrierJump`,
|
||||||
last `FSDJump`, `CarrierJump`, or `Location` event. There exists problem when you gets `FSSSignalDiscovered` before
|
but in the current (4.0.0.1302) Odyssey client they arrive before such events.
|
||||||
`FSDJump`, `CarrierJump`, or `Location` event, so you MUST cross-check it with `SystemAddress` or don't include at all.
|
|
||||||
|
Thus, in Horizons you use the last-tracked location, but in Odyssey you use
|
||||||
## Receivers
|
the "just arrived" location.
|
||||||
Receivers should remember: `horizons`, `odyssey`, `systemName`, `StarPos` are optional key/value pairs, it means you
|
|
||||||
should not rely on it will appear in every EDDN event.
|
Manually FSS-scanned USS type signals will come in one by one, possibly with
|
||||||
|
other events between them (such as `Music` due to zooming in/out in FSS).

||||||

"SignalName":"EXPLORER-CLASS X2X-74M",

|
are present, it has been observed that the game repeats the identical
|
||||||
},
|
sequence of `FSSSignalDiscovered` events. So you might receive what looks like
|
||||||
{
|
a duplicate message, other than the timestamp (if the timestamp is the same
|
||||||
"timestamp":"2020-12-31T14:14:01Z",

then the EDDN Relay should drop the duplicate).
