Final Frontier kerbal individual merits current version: 1.10.0-3485 Sometimes it's hard to choose a kerbal for a mission because they are all the same... well, they differ in courage and stupidity but they have no history, no personal merits they have achieved. Do you remember who was the first kerbal in space? No? Ok, who was the first kerbal on Mun? Still no idea? The Final Frontier plugin will handle this for you. Each kerbal will get ribbons for extraordinary merits. And the number of missions flown (i.e. vessel recovered), total mission time and total EVA time is recorded, too. Download: Spacedock Spacedock direct link for KSP 1.1.3 Mirror: Curse For modders: Version 0.8.12 and later includes an api to reward ribbons from an external plugin. You will find an adapter class and an example here: FinalFrontierAdapter Planet Packs (for use in 0.6.0 or later): PFCE: Download Kerbol Expanded: Download (WIP, last update 02.01.2015) Ribbon Packs (for use in 0.9.1 or later): RANKS and MILITARY RANKS FOR KERBALS (Base ID 1000) by Araym Expedition/Rank Ribbon Packs (Base ID 8000) bySmarterThanMe Armed Forces Ranks (Base ID 3000) by Shadriss If you want to create your own ribbon pack feel free to do so. But you should use IDs other than in the ribbon packs above. Just set the BASE in the config file to some other number and keep in mind that every ribbon must get an unique ID. (Screenshot of my development copy and not from a real game) To open the Final Frontier Hall of Fame window just click on the button labeled "FF" in the toolbar or press LEFTALT-F (hardcoded at the moment, so it's not assignable to another key). If you are using the stock toolbar you will find some kind of award icon. To browse all available ribbons just press the "Ribbons" button on the right of the hall of fame. Currently the following ribbons are awarded to kerbals: Orbit around a celestial body (including Kerbin) Landing on a celestial body (including Kerbin – kerbals do reward even simple tasks, because most of the time they fail...) EVA in around a celestial body without a stable orbit (including Kerbin) EVA in an orbit around a celestial body (including Kerbin) EVA on a celestial body (including Kerbin – let's hope they will survive...) Docking around a celestial body (including Kerbin) Collision in a vessel Dangerous EVA while not on ground and not in a stable orbit Get into a Kerbin orbit in less than 200, 150 or 120 seconds Accumulated mission time of at least 5, 20, 50, 100, 500, 2000 or 5000 days (20, 80, 200, 400, 2000 or 20000 kerbin days) A return from single mission that lasted for at least 20, 50, 125, 500 oe 2000 days (80, 200, 500, 2000, or 8000 kerbin days) At least 5, 20 or 50 missions flown (i.e. vessel recovered) Done a splashdown landing First kerbal in space A ribbon for entering the sphere of influence of a celestial body (new in 0.2.2) Planting flags on celestial bodies Launching with solid fuel boosters of 10%, 20%, or 30% ship mass Achieved gee-force of 3, 4, 5, 6,..., 17 or 18 g Entering the deep athmosphere of Jool Orbiting the Sun at half or less the distance of Moho Moving a vehicle (hopefully a rover) on the surface of a celestial body Crew member of a heavy vehicle of at least 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000 or 4000 tons Launching a heavy vehicle of at least 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000 or 4000 (!) tons Landing a heavy vehicle of at least 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000 or 4000 (puh!) tons Ribbons for 1h, 2h, 6h, 12h, 24h, 48h, 96h and 192h in EVA Ribbons for flying a vessel at Mach 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15 below 20,000m in Kerbin atmosphere (0.4.1 and later) Ribbons for EVA Endurance, i.e. a single EVA of at least 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240 or 300 minutes. Ribbons for entering atmosphere of Eve, Duna, Jool,... A Ribbon for entering the sphere of influence of all celestial bodies (Grant Tour ribbon) A Ribbon for entering the sphere of influence of all moons of Jool (Jool Tour ribbon) Ribbons for completing contracts Ribbons achieving research (while in a mission) Ribbons for first completed mission as an engineer, pilot or scientist Ribbons for altitude, distance, speed and depth records A Ribbon for entering deep space beyond Eeloo (or whatever outermost planet may exist) Ribbons for landing in polar regions Ribbons for landing at high elevations on kerbin Ribbons for landing with less than 5% or 1% liquid fuel More than 500 ribbons in total! If a kerbal is the first one rewarded with a celestial ribbon, he will get the "First kerbal" ribbon of that kind (for example "First kerbal in orbit around Kerbin "). Some ribbons replace some others when earned. For example: The ribbon for EVA in an orbit around a celestial body replaces the ribbon for EVA around the same body without a stable orbit. The ribbon for 20 missions flown replaces the ribbon for 5 missions, etc. A tooltip gives a short description for each awarded ribbon. The ribbon graphics are inspired by the ribbons created by Unistrut (view this thread). But unfortunately I still do not have his permission to include his ribbon graphics into Final Frontier so I have created my own set of ribbons. They are using the same color and sometimes similar graphics (so they will look similar). If Unistrut will give his permission to use his ribbons, I will include them in a modified form with better graphics than mine. Some of the custom ribbons are created by SmarterThanMe and nothke and are used with their permission. Update: I finally got the permission to use the ribbons from Unistrut. But why is it called "Final Frontier"? Well, I'm quite surprised that nobody is asking, but I will try to explain it anyway. I was thinking about this plugin since the personal achievement mod by blizzy78. I liked the idea in general but in a sandbox game achievements for the player doesn't mean to much to me (but this is a personal opinion of course). Unfortunately I'm a Java/C++ programmer and C# is quite new for me, so time and missing skills/experience delayed the implementation until the first days of 2014. Then I decided to give it a try and created a small C# project for testing/learning the basics. The first decision to made was the name of the project. I do not exactly remember how I get the idea for the name, but I searched a bit in Youtube, Google and well, perhaps there was a replay of Star Trek in TV. I really don't know how I got the name, but I created a project "Final Frontier" and so it begun. And I don't like to change the name of a project afterwards without a specific reason. Installation: Important! Please read if you have trouble with Final Frontier. Just unzip the archive into the KSP folder. Don't move the FinalFrontier folder, it should be nested in the folder GameData/Nereid. If you are already using the toolbar you don't have to extract the toolbar folder. Do not change the installation path! Final Frontier must reside under GameData/Nereid Compatibility: Final Frontier should be compatible with most mods. There is one important exclusion from this rule: Mods that are changing names of celestial bodies or add new celestial bodies will cause trouble. All releases from 0.6.0 and later can handle the altering of celestial bodies. There is still one exclusion: All celestial bodies must have unique names. To get ribbons for new celestial bodies, you must install a planet pack (see above).

It works or at least I think it will work. But bugs may occur and don't try this plugin in a current game without a backup. And it its my first project in C#, so don't expect to much from the code . Kerbals are identified by their names. So don't add kerbals with the same name or Final Frontier will get confused. The plugin takes use of System.IO to store its data in the corresponding persistent.sfs of a game and its settings in GameData/FinalFrontier.dat. Release 0.8.x will do a scan for old save games in the saves folder and converts them upon permission by the user. There are no other write operations anywhere on the system. License: http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause Source is included in the zip archive. Final Frontier uses the toolbar created by blizzy78, see http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/60863-0-23-0-Toolbar-1-4-3-Common-API-for-draggable-resizable-buttons-toolbar. If you don't like the toolbar or just want to use the stock toolbar for Final Frontier disable the use of blizzys toolbar in the configuration dialog of Final Frontier. Bugs: Ike and dres ribbons are the same. (fixed in 0.4.20) Decoupling in orbit, leaving orbit and immediatly returning into orbit give Fast Orbit Ribbon (fixed in 0.5.4) A splashdown landing in water give Mach 10 Ribbon (fixed in 0.5.4) Typo" Grant Tour" instead of "Grand Tour" (fixed in 0.5.4) SOI ribbons (and maybe others too) are not awarded when in time acceleration (fixed in 0.5.6) Gee force ribbons don't work as intended if crew is changed in flight (still suspicious) Closer solar orbit ribbons don't work (fixed in 0.6.0) quickload may cause loss of ribbons (fixed in 0.6.3) Ribbons may get lost, after installing new mods (fixed in 0.8.1-1282) Kerbals may get cloned (fixed in 0.8.3-1361) mission summary incorrect in some cases (fixed in 0.9.6-1826)

My long-awaited second mod is finally here! I present to you: The Program Ribbons Pack A set of ribbons for @Nereid's Final Frontier mod. These ribbons are based on patches, emblems, etc. for historical space programs, primarily from the US and USSR. Currently, these ribbons must be awarded manually. There is no planned development for this mod, just whatever strikes my fancy for new ribbons. If you have a suggestion, feel free to let me know. Download: Spacedock Installation: Extract into KSP GameData folder. The pack currently uses a Base ID of 4000. If this conflicts with one of your mods, you can chance the BASE in FinalFrontierCustomRibbons.cfg to some other number. Compatibility: Should work with KSP 1.7+. Final Frontier 0.9.1 or later is required. Requirements: Final Frontier 0.9.1 or later is required. Changelog: 0.1.0 Initial Release

FINAL FRONTIER CUSTOM RIBBONS PACKS As Nereid updated "Final Frontier" with release 0.9.1, it is possible to add custom ribbons to tose already bundled in the mod itself. As a big fan of Nereid's mod, and already having some ribbons I made for myself, now it is possible to share them in a manner tha ANYONE could eventually use them. ALL THIS PACKAGES NEED Final Frontier TO WORK! FOLLOW THE LINK AND DOWNLOAD/INSTALL IT FIRST!! THOSE PACKAGES COULD ENTER IN CONFLICTS WITH OTHER USER-CREATED CUSTOM RIBBON PACKAGES: ASK HERE FOR SUPPORT FOR MY ONES, BUT I DON'T GUARANTEE ANYTHING ABOUT!!! (Basically I'm not a modder, just a graphic entusiast, and I had to follow Nereid's rules about how to implement them: if anyone is using my very same ribbon ID's definitions, they could collide I'm not telling you to NOT use other custom packages than mine, but... ) I release different packages, with different ispiration about them: KERBFLEET RANKS CUSTOM RIBBON PACK v.1.2.0 - 13-01-2016 (Custom BASE ID: 1000) The first package is heavily ispired by Star Trek's Starfleet from "The Next Generation" onward: the three kerbal specializations came already in that sort of classification, so it was an easy way to add some sort of ranks to your kerbonauts. Ranks from "Kadet" to "Kommander" are common for the three branches (Operation/pilot, Engineering, Scientific), then higher commanding ranks (from "Kaptain" to "Fleet Admiral") are only "red" (But nobody will stop you to let a scientist or engineer kerbal become a "Kaptain" or an "Admiral"... :P) UPDATE v1.1.0: Added to the pack the enlisted rank for all the three branches. Upgraded all the ribbons with the KerbFleet emblem (basically a gold rocket took from KSP logo :P) Changed the "Kadet" ribbons from "grey pin" to "grey stripe" Changed the "Kaptain" ribbon to better reflect similar rank visual I made for "Military Rank" http://imgur.com/a/JX0H2 DOWNLOAD: DropBox: KerbFleet Custom Ribbons 1.2.0 (update 13-01-2016) INSTALLATION: 1- DELETE ANY OLDER VERSION OF THIS PACK BEFORE INSTALLING!!! Not doing so and you will probably have duplicated (and maybe conflicting) ribbons!!! YOU ARE WARNED!!! 2- Open the .zip file, copy-paste "GameData" folder with your KSP "GameData" Folder. DO NOT CHANGE DIRECTORIES TREE, AS IT WILL BE USED WITH .CFG FILE INSIDE "FINAL FRONTIER" MAIN PACK MOD!!! Changelog: 1.0.0 - Initial release 1.0.1 - Changed the Directories tree to better use the already Advanced Texture Manager .cfg bundled with Final Frontier, to avoid scaling of the ribbons (Thanks to Nereid pointing the thing :P)- DELETE THE OLDER VERSION BEFORE UPDATING!!! 1.1.0 - Added Enlisted ranks. - Changed "Kadet" ribbon from "grey pin" to "grey stripe" - Changed "Kaptain" ribbon to better reflect the similar Navy and Koast Guard from "Military Pack" - Added "Kerbfleet" emblem to all the ribbons 1.1.1 - Minor tweaks to "prestige" values 1.2.0 - Changes in ID values to better manage the pack and correct some typos. ATTENTION!!!! You should revoke and/or assign back the right ribbons, as IDs are different from previous releases. MILITARY RANKS CUSTOM RIBBONS PACK v.1.0.2 - 13-01-2016 (Custom BASE ID: 2000) The main ideas I had back in the time, when I had the idea to buil a full series of ribbons for the major army forces ranks. Visually ispired by USA ones, mixed here and there with name also ispired by British ones (I liked the parallel of a "Kerba Air Force" as KAF with the "Royal Air Force" RAF), turned in with a Kerbal-ish style of names (expect a lot of "K" instead of "C" ) and any ideas coming from my crazy mind. *DISCLAIMER* Do not feel upset if ranks' names are "twisted or different" from real life, not reflecting it: I'm not wanna offend anyone (and, sure thing, not maybe any "veteran" that could fell angry by it ). I didn't make this pack to reflect EXACTLY real life, but to play it in a kerbalish style. I added things here and there, changed things here and there. If any of my ideas are not fitting yours, you can always change names and definition in the added .cfg file in the pack, or directly inside the game from Final Frontier Menus (in the latter case, REMEMBER TO CHANGE SCENE TO MAKE FINAL FRONTIER CATCH THE CHANGES) FEATURED: - Kerbal Ground Force (Ground operations) - Kerbal Air Force (Air operations) - Kerbal Navy (Sea operations) - Kerbal Koast Guard (Search and Rescue operations) - Kerbal Special Marine Korp (Any special operation where "stronger" kerbal are needed to pave the way for the other ones ) http://imgur.com/a/ELdBQ DOWNLOAD: DropBox: Military Ranks Custom Ribbons 1.0.2 (update 13-01-2016) INSTALLATION: DELETE ANY OLDER VERSION OF THIS PACK BEFORE INSTALLING!!! Not doing so and you will eventually have duplicated (and maybe conflicting) ribbons!!! YOU ARE WARNED!!! Open the .zip file, copy-paste "GameData" folder with your KSP "GameData" Folder. DO NOT CHANGE DIRECTORIES TREE, AS IT WILL BE USED WITH .CFG FILE INSIDE "FINAL FRONTIER" MAIN PACK MOD!!! CHANGELOG: 1.0.0 - Initial Release with already updated Directories tree after Nereid advice. 1.0.1 - Minor tweaks to "prestige" values 1.0.2 - Little correction to some missing "prestige" values *** ALL THESE PACKAGE COME WITH A CC NC-BY-SA LICENSE ***

You may see that I have a ribbon in my sig, but IDK how to make it so that when you click it, it'd take you to a website (in this instance, kerbaltek). Please someone help me with this!
