disables some of the functionality

Now I'm curious. I didn't notice anything, works fine for me.

[[KSP 1.12.x] kOS v1.4.0.0: kOS Scriptable Autopilot System]

Thank you. I don't understand a thing for now, but I guess the wiki and some testing will help me. All I'm learning in KOS is based on small steps and alot of wiki consulting.

In my mini "P-Loop" pitch is handled by the loop, so I guess it should be fine.

[[KSP 1.12.x] kOS v1.4.0.0: kOS Scriptable Autopilot System]

I got a quastion, if somebady wants to push me in the right direction (literally).

I got my small script to hold my planes altitude and direction:

Spoiler

clearscreen.
core:part:getmodule("kOSProcessor"):doevent("Open Terminal").
set terminal:charheight to 18.
set terminal:width to 30.
set terminal:height to 14.
set terminal:brightness to 1.

if alt:radar < 10 {
	print "we're landed... bye.".
	wait 2.
	shutdown.
} else {
	sas off.
	set alt_t to ship:altitude.
	print "target altitude: " + round(alt_t).
	set WhyDoesItHaveToBeThatComplicated to ship:bearing * -1.
	set angle to 0.
	lock angle2 to angle.
	print "heading " + round(WhyDoesItHaveToBeThatComplicated).
	lock steering to Heading(WhyDoesItHaveToBeThatComplicated, angle).
	until false {
		if ship:altitude > (alt_t + 100) {
			set angle to angle - 1.
			print "down " + angle.
			lock steering to heading(WhyDoesItHaveToBeThatComplicated, angle2).
		}
		if ship:altitude < (alt_t - 100) {
			set angle to angle + 1.
			print "up " + angle.
			lock steering to heading(WhyDoesItHaveToBeThatComplicated, angle2).
		}
		if ship:altitude > (alt_t - 100) and ship:altitude < (alt_t + 100) {
			print "hold " + angle.
			lock steering to heading(WhyDoesItHaveToBeThatComplicated, angle2).
		}
		lock steering to heading(WhyDoesItHaveToBeThatComplicated, angle2).
		print angle.
		print "wait".
		wait 10.
	}
}

 

And I really would like it to hold a sort of "global" direction, unaffected by the compass.

Right now it goes like this:

lock steering to Heading(WhyDoesItHaveToBeThatComplicated, angle2).

Is there a way to tell it to just hold the direction unaffected by compass?

I red through the documentation but that stuff is a bit much for me :S

Thank you!

[[1.7.3] Science - Full reward!]

I'm a bit lost.

So does the current version of my patch (the one without [*]) work with the recent ksp version? Last time I checked it did.

[[1.7.3] Science - Full reward!]

That "[*]" shouldn't be in the current download. Download again. I don't know why for sure but apperently it's not needed anymore and I fixed it a while ago.

[Science Checklist Kerbin]

The github link has updated versions of the files. I missed the astronaut complex for example.

Edit: Fixed it

Some posts have been removed from this thread. We know you meant well, guys, but trading previous versions of KSP is actually illegal. 

Than make a official statement about it in the original official thread about those versions!

They used to be available to the public on the official page and until this comment I didn't know they turned "illegal".

This mod is probably on of the tinyiest I've seen so far, but the effect is HUGE.

It's like chatterer. Makes you identify with your small green friends

Thanks.

[[1.12.x] DMagic's Evolved Mods - Tracking Station Evolved 7.0 [12-17-2021]]

I can report that behavior too.

For me the node stil is openable when it happens, so no big deal. Running both evolved mods now since they released for 1.4 and updated them and never had bigger issues. Sometimes a recovered or destroyed vessel stil stay in the list until you siwtch out and back in on the tracking station, but that too is a thing with no real effect and the benefit of the mod weights muuuch more..

am i missing something? i dont see in the help or op or anywhere where the following feature is available in the GUI or cfg:

• No more searching around in service bays - run experiments at the click of a button

There is a button in the stock toolbar. You can turn it off and then right clicking the main button in the toolbar will have the same effect.

Without KOS it works:

Edit after putting it back in it stil works. So no idea whats causing it now. Well I consider it solved for now.

[[KSP 1.12.x] kOS v1.4.0.0: kOS Scriptable Autopilot System]

Is KOS know to disable the switching of designs on the new parts?

Spoiler

As far as I know KOS is the only mod that touches the fairings in my install. (Doesn't happen with all of the, oddly).

Anyways here is my log if it helps:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maculator/STUFF/master/LICENSE.md/LOG.txt

 

Edit it is loading the correct ones when the vessel spawns, just doesn't update the editor.

[[KSP 1.12.x] kOS v1.4.0.0: kOS Scriptable Autopilot System]

Okay, I fell stupid now. I thought the "" in copypath("0:/X","1:/X") were needed no matter what. so I tried something like copypath("""+"0:/"+....you get where this is heading.... :S

lol. My problem is that I have 0 experience in coding. The wiki really helps alot but sometimes I get stuck on the easiest things, sadly.

[[KSP 1.12.x] kOS v1.4.0.0: kOS Scriptable Autopilot System]

Is there a way to make a thing like this work:

function get {
	parameter folder, file.
	copypath("0:/folder/file.ks","1:/file.ks").
}

(This obviously doesn't work and is there to illustrate my problem)

And a second thing I can'T get past is the fact that I really can't run functions from the terminal. Does it really always have to be in a programm that runs the function or a sub scribt with the functions?

Cheers, great mod, great fun, manny nerve wrecking moments

Not so long ago, I posted example of my launching scripts in other thread. I often use some sort of library scripts with collection of functions in combination of main scripts.
You may use it as example how to combine functions and triggers.

 

it only contains KOS, a few crafts and strange things, no scripts.

[[KSP 1.12.x] kOS v1.4.0.0: kOS Scriptable Autopilot System]

Awsome, now it works.

[[KSP 1.12.x] kOS v1.4.0.0: kOS Scriptable Autopilot System]

Allright it all worked out. Exept I stil don't know how to be able to load functions and execute them myself.

Problem: bootscript boots script with functions and runs it (does obviously nothing), all good, but when I want to start a function it won't let me.

I can't run start(12) for example.

Here is what I mean:

Bootscript:

(this is not the problem)

Spoiler

//bootlaunchdirection.ks
//
//boots "launchdirection.ks" to a vessel.
IF exists("1:/launchdirection.ks") = true {
	deletepath("1:/launchdirection.ks").
	IF exists("0:/launchdirection.ks") = true {
		copypath("0:/launchdirection.ks","1:/launchdirection.ks").
		print "launchdirection.ks copied to 1:/".
	} ELSE {
		print "launchdirection.ks not found on 0:/".
	}
} ELSE {
	IF exists("0:/launchdirection.ks") = true {
		copypath("0:/launchdirection.ks","1:/launchdirection.ks").
		print "launchdirection.ks copied to 1:/".
	} ELSE {
		print "launchdirection.ks not found on 0:/".
	}
}
runpath("1:/launchdirection.ks").

 

Problem is the booted script:

(the last line is a workarround, because that's what I'd like to do myself via the console, but I can't. It's not allowing me :S)

Spoiler

//launchdirection.ks
//
//provides a function to launch a vessel into a suborbital trajectory with a user defined direction.
function stagecheck {
	WHEN ship:maxthrust < 0.01 THEN {
		IF ship:liquidfuel > 1 or ship:solidfuel > 1 {
			stage.
		} ELSE {
			print "out of fuel".
		}
	}
}
function ascentstep {
	parameter targetaltitude, targetdirection, targetangle.
	UNTIL ship:altitude > targetaltitude {
		lock steering to heading(targetdirection, targetangle).
		stagecheck().
		wait .1.
	}
}
function start {
	parameter targetdirection.
	print "start into heading " + targetdirection + "°".
	ascentstep(1000,		targetdirection, 90).	
	ascentstep(2000,		targetdirection, 80).	
	ascentstep(5000,		targetdirection, 65).	
	ascentstep(10000,	targetdirection, 45).	
	ascentstep(20000,	targetdirection, 30).	
	ascentstep(30000,	targetdirection, 25).
	ascentstep(40000,	targetdirection, 20).	
	Until ship:apoapsis > 71000 {
		lock steering to heading(targetdirection, 0).
		stagecheck().
		wait .1.
	}
	set ship:control:pilotmainthrottle to 0.
	sas on.
	print "ascent complete".
}
start(90). //WORKARROUND I WANT TO DO THIS WITH CUSTOM PARAMETERS VIA THE CONSOLE!

 

Edit:

It's probably something small I don't get. The reason for making a new post is that I'm hoping to get a quick fix because thats the first set of scripts I wrote from 0 that actually (besides the drama) work out of the box without that horrible "somethings wrong" -sound from KOS. I'm really motivated to keep on working.

If this is the wrong thread to ask for help I'd be glad if somebody can point me to a better location.

Cheers.

[[KSP 1.12.x] kOS v1.4.0.0: kOS Scriptable Autopilot System]

Thanks guys. So using my bootscript to run a "libary.ks" wich contains all my functions won't help.

I think I got it now, if I understand it correctly:

Bootscript to load the actual script and the actual script "runs" the functions script it needs first to make the functions available.

I do love KOS, but I have no codin experience so I sometimes struggle a bit, but I'm making progress. thanks.

 

[[KSP 1.12.x] kOS v1.4.0.0: kOS Scriptable Autopilot System]

I have a noobish question :s

I wanted to play arround with KOS after a long time and I'm just too stupid I guess....

I got my bootscript running:

declare global function hudmessage {
	parameter message.
	hudtext ("KOS: " + message, 5, 2, 30, green, false). //40 is too big!
}

hudmessage("loading script").
wait 1.
copypath("0:/tourist.ks","1:/tourist.ks").
wait 1.
hudmessage("done").

and I'm unable to access the function hudmessage from the script the bootscript loads....

It just keeps throwing errors on me.

All the script contains for now is:

hudmessage("I'm tourist.ks").

I thought since I declared the function in my bootscript and that script is on the drive it would be accessible for everyone.

Do I need to declare it again outside the bootscript? If yes: why?

Cheers.

Thanks for ManeuverNode Evolved! Really just what I needed.

Would you concider adding a "circulise orbit" -function? This is really the only thing I'm missing.
