    Are there any situations where a Beacon will send to another identical beacon, but the receiving beacon can not send back? 

    I'm having an issue where I have a lb100 at Kerbin, Eve, and Sarnus. Identical setups in terms of power generations, addons, etc. Kerbin and Sarnus can send both ways, yet neither show Eve in their context menu. Eve is able to send one way to Kerbin, and Sarnus does not show in its warp menu. 

    Are you far enough out that the gravity well has no impact? If so, can you try and replicate the situation in a new save with hyperedit to confirm that the problem persists?

    I already had installed this mod manually. But CKAN is very nice for mods-housekeeping.

    To the processing-time: Maybe the zip is malformed for CKAN? I don't know..

    A gameplay question: I've searched ~10 Asteroids by grabbing then and look at the surface-scanner. But none of then seems do have Karborundum. Is this right? The wiki says, "it can be found there"...

    To the CKAN issue, turn around time from mod up to on CKAN has always been terrible. To the Karborundum issue, according to the forum post"Karborundum. Valuable and incredibly fuel efficient, but also very hard to get. It can be harvested on the surfaces of Eeloo and Eve, or by a solar collector within approximately 2000 meters of the sun's surface..."

    Note, the post I got that from was a year old, so that may have changed recently. It appears that you may have luck at Dres as well. Mostly just keep searching.

    That's part of one of the constructor overloads and shouldn't be involved now. It is funny, though, but one of the only ways I could create a functioning module class from a protomodule config node.

    The more likely culprit is in the part actions or events. Somehow either an event or action to shut it down is being called repeatedly when the event or action should really be disabled. It's weird that it showed up on staging. I'll try and see if I can replicate it. What happens if you're above the gravity cutoff for that beacon? (Ie. in a situation where the beacon actually can activate).

    Hang on, boots, should this be (!activated) {which I read as not activated}, or (activated)? I might just be mistaking state checks for what it will be when that action goes off.

     

    
     
            // Startup sequence for beacon.
            [KSPEvent(name="BeaconInitialize", active = true, guiActive = true, guiName = "Initialize Beacon")]
            public void BeaconInitialize()
            {
                if (!activated)
                {
     
    
     
      [KSPEvent(name = "BeaconShutdown", active = false, guiActive = true, guiName = "Shutdown")]
            public void BeaconShutdown()
            {
                if (activated)
                {
     
     
     
    I think I found the log spammer though:
     
    
     
           [KSPAction("Initialize Beacon")]
            public void BeaconInitializeAction(KSPActionParam param)
            {
                if (!activated)
                    BeaconInitialize();
                else
                    log.warning("Can only initialize when shut down!");
            }
            [KSPAction("Shutdown Beacon")]
            public void BeaconShutdownAction(KSPActionParam param)
            {
                if (activated)
                    BeaconShutdown();
                else
                    log.warning("Can only shut down when activated!");
            }

    I figured out the fix for the part cost if you want to see how I fixed it, also once hit reach stage 0 using the standard staging method the beacon attempts to initialize all on its own and then shutdown down until it had enough electric charge, then does it again

    without my consent.

     

    I looked over your initialization and shutdown code, and I don't see anything wrong with them so I am unsure.

    I will run another test and grab a screenshot for you.

     

    I'll have a look at the cfgs, see if those might be causing it. Which beacon is on the vessel in question?

  5. Yes, maintenance thread. The good stuff. In other news, I'll be working on a model/cfg for an extra-solar beacon, for those who use mods that enable multiple star systems and don't want to spend obscene amounts of fuel and electricity just to get to your base in the next system over. If you have any ideas for the design/costs, post away.

    Should I make a new thread while I'm maintaining this?

    Yea, go make a maintenance thread, and leave a post here about it.

     

    Sorry for disappearing, been finishing out high school and things piled up on me. I'm really glad you guys got the models working, I could load them into Unity, but PartsTools just would not work for me. :huh:

     

    I'll try and muck around with creating a star to star beacon model/cfg. If anyone has any input for stylistic choices/warp costs, drop it in the new thread and I'll keep you guys posted.

    Oh cool! Apparently 1.1 actual is out! Once a few of my 'must-have' mods get updated I'll download it and try compiling this for 1.1.

    Well, that's the sign for me to take a kick in the ass and get those models out. I'll do my best for this next weekend, but it is the end of the college semester, so I may not quite have enough time.

  8. We have a couple of options for the models, I can go with basically replicating the old ones, or trying to go a completely new direction. I'd prefer to go with the old models, because I'm pretty sure the problem lies in the collision mesh (haven't had a chance to look at the old models/collisions yet). Opinions? If we go a new route, someone is going to need to texture these guys.

    While it was a good mod when it first came out, multiple star systems hasn't been updated since 0.9. But a much more recent mod, called Galactic Neighborhood, has really pushed forward from where MSS left off. It's a great platform for hosting a lot of planet packs by adding them as separate star systems in the game, so any mods that are compatible with it would be compatible with the bug fix:

    Aside from that, Sigma88 has made quite a few mods that modify the Kerbol system. If anyone knows how to, it's him. I personally don't know what separates a star from a planet, but I think it involves a few settings in the Kopernicus config file.

    I've looked at Galaxy and Kop's cfgs, and they (and presumably the planetary system in general) calls bodies, and then gives them a referend body for their orbit. It's not something that explicitly calls a sun a sun, but it should let us make a patch for compatibility, using the new system's sun's reference body.

    The call Kopernicus makes goes something like so:

    Body

    {

            name = BodyName

            Orbit

            {

                       referenceBody = ReferenceBodyName

            }

    }

     

    Should be easy enough to use. I hope.

    I'd be willing to maintain it if someone fixed the models. I've never done any modding for KSP beyond configs and stuff, but I have a pretty strong coding background so I could try to pick it up. I was considering it before because I wanted to add configurability to the jump costs and resource beyond what's hard-coded right now. Also to fix a bug I noticed a while back. I digress, Luxord, if you could do models, I'll do code. As long as there's no license issues with us taking over while TMarkos is away? Can we assume implied consent?

    It is under GPL2, so as long as we give TMarkos credit, we should be good maintaining it. I'll try and get some time this weekend to go make at the very least preliminary models so that we can try and get people up and warping again.

    Does anyone know why the beacon models are broken in 1.0.5? I kind of liked the look of them. Is there any way of editing them with what is distributed in the mod?

    You'd have to pull out the models and drastically reduce ther face count, the issue was that the old models had basically too many faces, and so for whatever reason, 1.0.5 hated them. I might actually look into making a new set of models for this if someone chooses to maintain this. 

  12. It stays harbored in LEO so that they have easier access to modify, repair, and overhaul the Hermes while it's there, before they move it to Lagrange 1 and send a probe to refuel it, so that it is at one of the easiest points to escape Earth orbit, while still having full fuel. It's an efficiency thing, one that isn't demonstrable in Kerbal due to the fact that the physics system we use doesn't simulate Lagrange points. Basically, they do it so that they can save some fuel in case of emergencies on the trip, and the crew hops up after it's done moving to L1 over the course of a couple weeks. This then allows them to escape Earth gravity with minimum dV usage.

  13. Interesting error I'm running into. When trying to radially attach items to the CR-0300 model (single size model), it tries to attach it as if the top of the part where the side rotationally (More accurately, instead of curving around the sides of the part, it curves around the piece top to bottom). Anybody else running into this?
