Hi, really glad that you like my program :)

> Python version

I would suggest to download the prebuilt version from the releases page at
https://github.com/eliasdoehne/stellaris-dashboard/releases
which you should be able to just download and run stellarisdashboard.exe then you (hopefully!) won't have to deal with python or the .bat file at all.

> "Space battle Attacker X (exhaustion percentage for Y) defeated Y (exhaustion percentage for X)" in a case actually it's the Y who won the battle.

Are you saying that the two numbers are switched compared to what is shown in-game? I guess you can consider "percentage for X" to mean either the amount of exhaustion gained by X or the amount inflicted on X by Y. I suppose I may have mixed those up while I was programming?

Can you compare it to the UI that is shown in-game?

Unfortunately getting reliable information about who wins or loses a war isn't very easy, I wish I could think of a better way to do this.

> Is the software needed to run in the background of Stellaris every time playing the game in order to show time graph with timeline?

Yes the software needs to be running to show the graphs, but you can run the software without Stellaris and open https://127.0.0.1:28053 in any browser you like.

If you're into programming, you can also get the data from the SQLite database in the output/db/ folder and build your own visualizations on top :)

Yeah, when I saw the github it only had dat file for the latest version at the moment, so I use dat version now, if there's any updates I will use exe one :)

Ok, let me explain using Dashboard's war log screenshot for one battle.

In the game, the war was an one-sided battle which New Olympus Commune and United Democratic Federation won and Syldaean Administration ceased to exist.

But, on the green line it says "in progress" even though the war was ended in total victory. Also, what I explained in the original post is in blue line, where all the battle's winner is the loser in the log.

Haha well I am not programmer myself, just figuring out stuffs from my experience of modding.

Oh, maybe it's better to put about keeping output/db database when the user wants to update the software.

I hope this report helps in your future update, even with a tiny bit. Because I absolutely loved how the graphs and logs works for the history of gameplay, also for non-player nations. Please, keep up the marvelous work!!
