Hi all, Sorry I haven't had time to update this mod recently - lots of RL stuff getting in the way, and I can't find the time to give this the amount of work it needs for me to be happy with it. If anyone wants to carry on with this mod (thanks to everyone who kept it going without me!) - please feel free. I've had a few people message me about the license - the general gist of it is that I'm happy to let anyone do whatever they want with my original code except sell it, pass it all off as their own, or change the license. If the community gets behind a fork of my code by someone for 1.0+ that they're all happy with, feel free to continue using the [x]Science! name. However, don't start squabbling over calling dibs on the name or anything silly like that. All the best.

Sounds good - I'll put that in the next version.

What if CC automatically closed the popup when you get to the title screen, if OK hasn't been clicked by that point? Then the people who don't want to have to click on the OK button each time they start the game don't have to, but you still get the message across.

Yeah, I've considered adding that before - I might replace the "current vessel" filter with that. (I'm not convinced that the current vessel filter is that useful - does anyone actually use it?) I'll try and get it into the next version

v4.0 is out! Now with blizzy's toolbar support! Settings will now be persisted across game sessions as well. The save file can be found in GameData/[x] Science!/settings.cfg. Changelog (just a little update this time... ) : 4.0 --- Added support for blizzy's toolbar - find the toggle in the settings menu if you've got it installed. Changes to the settings are now saved across games. Enjoy

v3.1 is out! Hopefully the performance issues people have been having should be much better now. I've also made it so that if the window isn't open, the mod doesn't do anything. Also: Compact mode! NOT searching with -! And a few other bug fixes as well. Changelog: Can now use the - symbol to do NOT searches e.g. "goo -Minmus". Added compact mode. Moved the complete experiment filter option to the settings panel. Now only updates when the window is open. Fixed ArgumentNullException when running alongside Karbonite (thanks Jaxx). Fixed experiments not being detected in biomes with spaces in them (thanks Tahib). Now refreshes the experiment cache far less frequently - only once per scene instead of whenever science is obtained or the active vessel is changed. Enjoy

Thanks for that - looks like it's the Karbonite experiments not being detected properly. Should be fixed in the next version - I'll try to release it this evening.

Sorry to hear people are having lag issues - I'll take a look at optimizing everything for the next release. I've already thought of a few ways I can do things more efficiently, and I'll try to get something sorted for the end of the week

Glad you like it Any new parts that have basic ModuleScienceExperiments should be added to the list of available experiments automatically. OrbitalScience (which uses a custom implementation) is also supported. Other mods might be detected, but could have their science levels calculated incorrectly. If anyone has any issues with a specific mod please let me know and I'll try to add support for those mods if possible.

I can take a look at adding support for BTSM - I can't make any guarantees on that though as that mod makes a lot of changes to science gathering, which could make it a pain to integrate with. Interesting about your 2.0+ issue - could you upload a save file and let me know what mods you use so I can look into that? I'm going away this weekend so won't be able to look at it until Monday evening, but I'll try to figure it out then

v3.0 is out! Now with CustomBiomes support! (N.B. CustomBiomes' extra experiments will not appear until you've entered the flight scene at least once - KSP doesn't load the CustomBiomes plugin until you enter the flight scene, so there's not much about that I can do unfortunately ) And onboard science tracking! (Shows amount of science you'd get if you retrieved all experiments from every vessel) Changelog: 3.0 --- * Added onboard science detection. * Added support for CustomBiomes. * Fixed experiments not showing up as complete correctly due to a floating point rounding error. Enjoy

Hm. Yeah, definitely looks like a rounding error. Guess I'll just clamp the values to 0.1 science because as you say, it's basically complete at that point I'll release a hotfix for that soon (maybe this evening?). As for the visited biomes filter - I'll probably implement that along with ScanSAT integration and a further options menu for version 3. I'll also try to get blizzy's toolbar integration in with that version - there may be a little bit of a wait for version 3 but I'll see what I can do

I just gave it a try - looks like the biome detector shows them correctly, but the experiments for those biomes don't show up in the list. I'll take a look at that for the next version.

v2.0 is out! Changelog: 2.0 --- * Implemented current situation detection and filter. * Added tooltips to buttons * Completed experiment progress bars are now rendered in a different colour. * Replaced text on filter buttons with icons. * Fixed several memory leaks. * Fixed addon being loaded multiple times Enjoy

Sneak peek for the next version Just need to sort out some tooltips, move the biome indicator a bit, and fix another memory leak Additionally - lakes in mountains confirmed:

There are lakes and rivers in pretty much all of the Kerbin biomes that you can splash down in (the only one I'm not 100% sure about is the Mountain biome). You're right about the KSC biomes - the method I'm using to get them at the moment isn't ideal. I just found a better way of getting the available biomes, so in the next version this will be fixed (as well as adding all the other surface biomes around KSC)

I'm working on that for the next version

Thanks for the log file - sorry to hear you're having problems Most of the time you don't need be worried about yellow lines in that log file - red is the bad colour there! However, I can see why you could be having problems here. I've already fixed one memory leak when the experiment window is open - and in addition, your log file shows that the mod seems to be getting loaded many times instead of just once. I'll look into it this evening for you

Do you have version 1.1 installed? That was a bug in v1.0 that should have been fixed in v1.1.

Thanks - this helped me a lot in diagnosing my memory leak

Sorry for the double post, but v1.1 is now available to download. Changelog: 1.1 --- * Mod now correctly disables itself in Sandbox mode (stops the VAB lockup bug) * Can now use the | symbol to do OR searches e.g. "goo Mun|Minmus" * Optimized experiment list rendering * Will automatically detect OrbitalScience if installed, and add its experiments to the list * Biomes are now displayed in the experiment list correctly * Fixed some experiments not appearing in the list if they took biomes into account * Fixed "while landed at sun" experiments appearing in the list * Fixed science levels not taking game difficulty settings into account Enjoy!

Found it! I can reproduce it if I'm in a sandbox game. I'll fix it and push a patch soon

I hadn't actually heard of Science Library until a couple of days ago, by which point i was practically ready to release. It is pretty similar, but I much prefer my UI! I think my mod is more accessible to people who just want a simple way of tracking their science. I've also added support for the Orbital Science mod, so in the next release all the experiments for that will appear in the list as well (but only if you've got it installed): Thanks for all your suggestions and bug reports so far! Seems quite a few people are having this VAB issue - I'm having trouble reproducing it unfortunately, even with all the listed mods installed Could one of you try it with this version installed (which may or may not fix it), and upload your KSP_Data/output_log.txt so that I can have a look at it? Do you have the same issues with just this mod installed? Does the mod window have to be open in the VAB for it to break, or does just installing the mod at all break it? The more information I can get on this, the easier it will be to solve I'm going to hold off on adding the ability to collect science for now - there's already the excellent Science Alert plugin, and I'm just trying to keep things simple at the moment (it is my first mod, after all!). I'll definitely consider it for a couple of versions time if there's enough interest though I'll add a planned features section to the OP as well so you know what to expect in the future.

Thanks for the info - I'll look into it this evening.

What mods do you have installed? I've tested it with a few other mods and there didn't seem to be any problems - if I can install all the ones you've got it'll make it easier to figure out what's going on
