  1. Hey @stratochief66,

    You seem to be the one primarily maintaining the RO repo.  I know @NathanKell said he would still be working on that as well, but I haven't seen him online in a few weeks (hoping he didn't get burnt out).  I'd love to help contribute, but don't really know a good place to start without stepping on any toes.  I haven't really done much modding, but I've been developing software for about 10 years (right now in java, though I used to do everything in .net).  @Phineas Freak pointed me at some configs to do some updates on, and I was able to recompile the RO binaries against the 1.2.2 dlls, but would love some more direction to help the RO mod get up to date with 1.2.2.

    Thank you for any direction you can provide!

      Yep! I had a similar problem earlier this week when I tried, for me I think it was an older version of TestFlight, which I believe has a newer beta candidate I haven't tested yet.

      But yeah, starting from scratch stock, then adding RSS & RSS prereqs, confirming it works, adding a few RO pre-reqs gradually and checking to make sure it boots and works, etc. Same method I use as well :)

      That PF issue no longer appears to be a thing, at least not when I was testing out CMES PRs in 1.2.2 tonight.

      Hello!

      Yes, I've seen some of your comments on Issues & PRs on the Github, they are much appreciated! #1468 was particularly memorable, as I had mistakenly started updating some FASA parts manually for the TACLS changes before Theysen pointed me towards #1468.

      I'll give you some context of what I tend to do with RO, so it should make sense why I can't/don't answer certain questions. I review many PRs, more recently since I've been putting in more time than NK on that front. Beyond that, I hand around in the RO IRC, which has been more quiet the past few months. I'm good at getting people to clarify the questions they ask and the answers they give there, then either documenting things or getting them to submit information in a permanent fashion to the RO Github.

      I also generally write the patch notes, and have headed a number of the RO releases, although not any between major KSP revisions if I recall correctly. I'm not a traditionally trained programmer, and I don't compile things, so I'm not 100% sure what remains to be done for the next RO release on the strictly code side of things. I believe everything is in order there, but I could be mistaken.

      NK is not burned out, as far as I know. I talked to him on Friday, and he is certainly interested in us progressing towards release. He is just.. generally busy, and currently I don't believe anything within RO is delaying a release, just waiting on some of our prereq's to have sufficient testing to get official releases.

      #1436 should be an accurate representation of the RO pre-reqs at the moment. There are a few mods that have reached testing that I haven't personally tested. At the moment, testing those out is probably one of the helpful things you could do if you like, reporting any issues or concerns you come across on the Issues page for that mod, and/or in the RO IRC, where RO IRC regulars will sometimes compare notes on things like that. I've personally had a problem with PF 3.20 fairing segments not being stag-able, but I haven't heard confirmation of that from anybody else or found a solution.

      Let me know if there are any other questions you'd like answered that you think I could help with. I haven't even glanced at what might need to be done to bring RP-0 to KSP 1.2.2, perhaps you could look if any code needs updating there?
