Interesting idea. Frankly, I haven't played with this for years, so would have to revisit it. Could you post a picture to help me visualize this?

Sure, hope this will give more clarity, try this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hz1fb877a0u74u6/Screenshot 2023-02-12 at 16.13.47.png?dl=0

Hi,

First of all many thanks for this Mod TAC Fuel Balancer by @linuxgurugamer it's great and really helping when refuelling is needed. I was wondering whether there will be (is) possibility to group all takes at the vessel to be seen as one? Like to group them under Ship ID, so instead of 15 different tanks (sorted by Ship ID) from two vessels there will be only "two" tanks? (not sure I describe it correctly). That would make it even easier. Obviously this is nothing critical, just idea. Thanks anyway.

You can control multiple parts using one KAL-1000 controller.

P.S. Its KAL-1000

I found this:

Is this what you're looking for?

Thank you for replying. No that is not what I'm looking for. It's a bit difficult to explain. I know how to setup KAL and make it working, how to create sequence. What I want to know is if you can have 2 different sequences configured in one KAL? Say, you have a Shuttle w. robotic arm. You create in KAL sequence (movement of the arm) to move to the position to grab cargo from Shuttle's bay. Let's call this Sequence 1. So in Sequence 1 robotic arm moves from resting position to the attachment point (where arm "clicks" with cargo) installed on the cargo you want to deliver to ISS. Now, as robotic arm is hooked to cargo in Shuttle bay, you want to move this cargo to the docking port on the ISS (say you want to lift logistics module from Shuttle's cargo bay and attach it to the Node 1's attachment port on ISS). For this movement you can pre-program Sequence 2 while you are in VAB. Here comes my point. can one KAL have pre-programmed 2 sequences? So, far I don't think so. To solve this you need to have two different KALs attached to Shuttle - one for Sequence 1 and second for Sequence 2. Say two sequences are OK you can install two KALs, but what about 4, 5? Do you see my point? I think functionality where you can pre-program more than one sequence in KAL and then choose which one to play would be good.

March 18, 2021

That could be handy. I think what I would like is to have possibility to have multiple actions to be programmed to one KAL controller. So no need for 2 KAL. I have a Shuttle w. robotic arm and would like to have like one action to grab part from bay and second action to move it to position on station.

March 18, 2021

Does anybody know if KAL-100 can support multiple actions with robotics parts? Or do I need individual KAL for each action? Say, I have a robotic arm and want to perform 2 actions, first to grab some part, second move it to other place. Any idea anybody?

It's a shader issue, and I can't fix it right now, sorry. I don't have a dev system on MacOS.

If someone were to recompile the shaders for me, I'd be able to get a release out which would support MacOS

HI, more than happy to help. Just to guide me by hand what to do as I'm not a developer. can offer you my Mac to help.

Hi @linuxgurugamer,

I thought I'd chime in with an issue I'm having, I am running KSP 1.11.1, but I suspect that it's more related to my late 2013 iMac.

The issue is basically that everything works except the image which is just a magenta block. Looking at the logs it looks like an issue with the shaders not being compatible in some way. I tested this on a reasonably modded version (half the mods seems to be supported by you, where do you find the time?), but reproduced the issue in a clean copy with just the dependencies.

Environment

KSP : 1.11.1.3066 (OSXPlayer) en-us (64bit)
OS: Mac OS X 10.15.7
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4771 CPU @ 3.50GHz (8)
RAM: 32768
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M OpenGL Engine (4096MB)

Problem
Camera (docking camera and part camera) only show magenta background under the overlay. The actual overlay,
controls and UI appear correctly and are working.

Mods Installed
ClickThroughBlocker v0.1.10.15 / v1.0.0.0
ToolbarControl v0.1.9.4 / v1.0.0.0
DockingCamera v1.3.8.0 / v1.0.0.0

Reproduction steps
Build a simple craft in the hanger which includes a camera. Lauch the vehicle to the runway
and put on brakes. Open Docking Camera UI from toolbar, right click on camera and tur nit on.
Camera UI appears with image only as a magenta background.

Logs (I think that this will work)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zXpr-_Y-R_8FBhvR2mbaFB34aC739Mov/view?usp=sharing

Additional notes :

I suspect the important part of the logs are where Unity is having trouble finding / loading
the shaders.

(Filename: /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Runtime/Shaders/Shader.cpp Line: 558)

WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'DockingCamera/NightVisionClear' - Pass '' has no vertex shader
ERROR: Shader Shader is not supported on this GPU (none of subshaders/fallbacks are suitable)
WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'DockingCamera/NightVisionClear' - Setting to default shader.
Desired shader compiler platform 15 is not available in shader blob

I hope this helps with looking at the issue, should I look into raising this on Github as well?

I have same issue, also playing on macOS

Hi,

Thanks for the mod, once I start using it it is great. Recently I installed Shuttle Orbiter Construction Kit mod and it is not possible to take snapshots as you mod doesn't see any servos in KAL-1000. Would you maybe look at that? Thanks. May I help? Let me know. Thanks in advance.

Thank you, but not at this time. It's a matter of building the shaders properly, and I have a procedure for it. I just need to figure out how to make it work without having multiple versions of the mod

Hi linuxgamer, how's life? Any progress here? I just tried latest version and realised that in GreyScale I can see at lease some details, rest is the same.

Are you using the craft file included with the mod? As this has RCS transforms disabled in certain axes to help balance the craft. Unfortunately these are relative to the axis of the control point, so changing control from the cockpit to the docking port results in some ports being disabled in an unusual way. There are a couple of workarounds - simplest is to fly the shuttle from the cockpit manually. You can click around the Iva to get a view out of the aft windows which are useful for lining up the docking port. Alternatively, you can enable all the actuation toggles for the RCS in the right click menus. Your RCS will be slightly imbalanced and less efficient but you’ll be able to fly fine from any control point.

OK thanks, that would be the case!

Hi,

I see a strange behaviour of my Shuttle when I install it. I'm still running KSP 1.9.1 (Mac version), using mod version 1.0.0 (tried Version 1.1.2b, same result). The issue is that if I select "Control from here" from docking port, the certain RCS stop working, while when I do "Control from here" from Shuttle cabin, all RCS works perfectly. Issue is I can't dock, because when controlling from docking port, RCS are not working. Any idea? Here is my KSP.log if that would help. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mim2csm1p44pax8/AADs7_aid3X5jJ79UwWEByxka?dl=0

Thanks for help. It start now, under 1.9.1 I'm sure that on 1.7.3 everything was working perfectly.

Fear not Kerbonauts! I've just raised a PR with the required code changes to get it back up with KSP 1.9+. I just tested it and is working fine on my machine™.

If you don't want to wait for further verification of my changes, want to play with this mod now, and you trust me enough to download a binary I compiled ():

Copy RealChute.version to <KSP_INSTANCE>\GameData\RealChute

Copy [~ link removed by moderator ~] to <KSP_INSTANCE>\GameData\RealChute\Plugins <-- This is the binary I mentioned before

It should get you going now. I hope @stupid_chris may check it and eventually we get a new release out. For now I can go back to play!

Hope it helps.

Super, thanks!!!

Nothing you can do to fix it, Ill have too update it soon.

if its not working at all, then ill need to see a log file.

Sorry, you are wrong. The modules depend on RPM for various things and wont compile without RPM being installed. As it was, i had to copy the shader files fromRPM into the JSIPartUtilities mod before I could get it working.

More than happy to send you any files. I'm just user, so which log you need ;-)

New release, 0.8.8

Updated for KSP 1.8

Added InstallChecker

Updated all AssemblyVersion.tt files

Note that due to RPM not being updated for 1.8, the following functionality is not available:

VesselView RPM

VesselVew Part Selector

VesselView Disco Display

If RPM does get updated for 1.8. I'll revisit this and release an update

Hi linuxgurugamer,

Great mod, love it! Listen I see following error when I install Vessel Viewer standalone:

Incorrect Smart Stage installation

Smart Stage has been installed incorrectly and will not function properly. All files should be located in KSP/GameData/SmartStage. do not move any files from inside that folder.

Incorrect path(s):

GameData/VesselView/plugins/vesselView.dll

And the Vessel Viewer is not working in KSP. I have only VesselViewer installed. I try to install next to it also SmartStage but error is still there. Anything I can do / help to get rid of this error.

Did anybody of you make it working on new MK1-3Pod? I did not. For me it is not working. I did all the steps mentioned above :-( some step-by-step guide for dummies?

You might need to tweak the OMS angles till the angle of thrust is as close to the center of mass. The included craft file should be a good example.

Also you can change the control point of the shuttle cabin. Right click it and click the option that says "Control Point Forward". It should change to "Control -15". That will help you line up your burns in space.

Oh great thanks a lot! And hope last ;-) how to tweak the OMS?

And one last thing (see am beginner) when I operate KerboArm and try to lock the joint very often my KerboArm breaks and destroys, no idea why. Any thoughts or ideas?

October 7, 2019

Hi,

One more "stupid" question. Not sure if only I see that situation, but orbiter seam to be extremely unstable using only OMS engines. Did I miss anything while constructing it? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I assume you installed this by hand. Please download and install the latest version, 1.3.6.3 (you have 1.3.6.1)

Not sure if this will fix it, but you need to do this anyway

Edit: I just realized that you are using a Mac. Thats probably the issue, shaders have to be built differently for a Mac.

Hi, I installed latest version and still not working properly, so as you wrote, it's probably the Mac version. Any help I can offer to have Mac built?

Thanks a lot for help, great mod, extremely useful for docking and can not imagine myself using KerboArm from Shuttle Orbiter Construction Kit without this mod!

October 4, 2019

Hello guys,

Can you please help me with my problem, basically I don't see anything when DockingCam window is open. I see only pink or noise at the cam window. I installed mod + all dependences. Mod seam to be somehow working, just don't show any video from docking, only 2 crosses - blue and green. Thanks!

You can definitely dock a vessel to itself, I’ve done it many times but others have reported the same issue. I think the angle snaps may be causing some problems for some people so I may tweak that.

That would be awesome!!! simply the best :-) thanks in advance!

October 2, 2019

Hello,

First of all many thanks for this mod, it is awesome! Just one thing I'm struggling with is to attach/dock KerboArm to the Grapple fixture. I read here that it docks in 60 degree angle. Unfortunately I try to rotate 360 degree and no connection/docking made.

Can you maybe for those like me post some guidance how to do that? It would be very appreciated by many users I think. I just point my KerboArm to the Grapple fixture, rotate it by 60 degree and nothing happened. Could it be due to other mods? I'm using KJR Next and Infernal Robotics Next.

Maybe I'm doing something stupid, so sorry for bothering - thanks for advice / instructions.

Thanks! Sorry, but I hadn't worked on any configuration or compatibility with B9. It seems to be popular enough to warrant investigating, but this would need to wait until an update is required or worked on unfortunately

19 hours ago, JH4C said:

The error B9 throws up would be very useful to see; they're pretty good at explaining what's gone wrong. However as B9 isn't any kind of dependency for this mod, it's likely to be some other add-on that's causing this.

I would like to paste here screenshot w. error, but so far couldn't figure out how, sorry, not really up to date in this forum engine. let me know, I can email it
