Feature request: add presence for cqc

[norohind]

There is no right way to see if player in cqc from game journals. But I can suggest a few indirect ways:

1. LoadGame event without Ship field happening on enter in cqc from main menu (can be used to detect enter in cqc)
2. Music event with "MusicTrack":"MainMenu" happening when exit from cqc to main menu (can be used to detect exit from cqc)

Now it is impossible because EDMC don't pass any events when you are in CQC, so we have to hope that journal_entry_cqc() plugin function will be implemented in EDMC

yes, using the music tracks is a way to check if the cqc is running:
entry['MusicTrack'] in ['CQC']:
==>Means, CQC is active (game running)
entry['MusicTrack'] in ['NoTrack','Exploration', 'Combat_Dogfight']:
==>Means: CQC is still active (no state change)
entry['MusicTrack'] in ['CQCMenu']
==>CQC menu.. queing up...
and otherwise:
==> No CQC

Thanks for the feature request. I will need to test out the above methods and see what fits the best and if they are reliable I will add this feature

Since journal_entry_cqc EDMC functionality is merged to develop, we can expect it appearance in 5.2.0 EDMC version and then there will be no obstacles to implement this feature request. I already have modified plugin and going to PR it once EDMC 5.2.0 will be released.
