linuxgurugamer Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) This is a continuation of the abandoned Through the eyes of a kerbal - 1st person EVA (a.k.a. Force IVA) mod by @Chronothan,continued by @Ser and then by @Virindi Original thread here (by @Ser):https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/150599-122-through-the-eyes-of-a-kerbal-1st-person-eva-continued-111-apr-1-2017/ Previous thread (by @Virindi): https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/160104-13-through-the-eyes-of-a-kerbal-2002-20170620/ Since @Virindi seems to have abandoned this (I tried several times to contact him), I contacted @Ser and got permission to revive it. @Ser requested that if I stop supporting the mod that I give it back to him for maintenance Supported KSP version: 1.3.1 Usage Settings page contains the following, these used to be in the settings.cfg file: forceEVA showSightAngle forceIVA disableMapView The ThroughTheEyes/PluginData/options.cfg contains the following, you can change them with a text editor: toggleFirstPersonKey EVAKey recoverKey reviewDataKey Default Keys When in First-Kerbal-View mode: The throttle controls the power of the EVA thrusters. Make sure it isn't zero, it defaults to 100% The WASD keys are used to rotate the Kerbal using the EVA thrusters Command Key Rotate forward w Rotate backward S Rotate left A Rotate right D The translation keys are used to move the kerbal using the EVA thrusters Command Key Translate down I Translate up K Translate left J Translate right L Translate forward H Translate backward N Settings are available via the stock settings page, either when creating a new game or in-game from the space center or flight scenes. To access the settings in-game, get to either the Space Center or Flight scenes, hit the escape key, click the Settings button, then click the Difficulty Options button to get to all the settings pages Availability: CKAN preferred Download: https://spacedock.info/mod/1560/Through The Eyes of a Kerbal Source: https://github.com/linuxgurugamer/Through-The-Eyes License: GPLv3 By default, the in-game "Camera Mode" (i.e. "C") key is used to switch to first person view while on EVA. Besides that, the mod enables you to restrict view to IVA and disable Map view when restricted to IVA. For those options see the configuration file in the PluginData folder of the mod. If using those features the Part Commander mod is recommended to have access to right-click menu actions from within IVA or first person EVA.

Usually the mods are backwards compatible, except for Dmagic stuff which crashes my 1.3.0 install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said, the only one I can't update is DmagicUtilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_robber Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Loving this mod - using it with "Probe control room" for an immersive experience. One problem, though - my RCS translation controls (IJKL) in IVA (I play with forced) are not working - or responding at all. Can't get translation to work in docking mode either. Anyone else experienced this problem (I realise it may not be this mod causing the issue)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enceos Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Love this mod a lot! It inspired me to make a KIS Holo Visor prop with EVA Propellant level indicator. Available in my KIS Wearable Props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadingTimeExpert Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 i have a problem, whenever i switch to first person view and then switch back. the camera mode is stuck on follow mode, which means it is fixed to the back of the kerbal or ship, i can fix this by switching to another ship or kerbal, but its quite annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the mean time, try the mod Camera Focus Changer, see if that helps, just move the mouse to an empty space and hit "o", you can get it here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyAce Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I keep seeing the Kerbals eyes in front of the camera when in FP view. Guess that is a bug? Also can't translate in EVA and when starting out on the launch pad - even though IVA is forced I can't get into IVA mode before hitting launch. A great plan for a mod, but with the "flying eyes" in front of my view, the immersion break when not possible to tune the monitors before hitting launch and not being able to properly do EVA (translate problems)... this mod is not usable for me. Any fixes would be nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linuxgurugamer Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Well, I've gotten the first fixed (starting the launch in IVA), was actually written that way, so it wasn't a bug. I've added an option to force IVA before launch. The second, having the thrusters work, is harder, it looks like the internal code has been changed since this was originally written, may take a while. 22 hours ago, EasyAce said: A great plan for a mod, but with the "flying eyes" in front of my view, the immersion break when not possible to tune the monitors before hitting launch and not being able to properly do EVA (translate problems)... this mod is not usable for me. Do keep in mind that this mod was written several years ago. At the time it was working, obviously things have changed. Regarding the floating eyes, I don't see the issue. A log file and pics are now required. Your comment is somewhat disparaging, please consider your words before posting in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've updated the OP with some more instructions regarding the keys used to control the Kerbal during EVA. Look at the new Settings page I just added for the option to force the IVA before launch. Note that you were always able to do IVA manually, this just forces it.

New Release, 2.0.1 Moved some options into setting screen: forceEVA showSightAngle forceIVA disableMapView Moved key options to the ThroughTheEyes/PluginData directory Added option to force IVA before launch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logs and pics would help to diagnose this, no argument. A few possible causes to consider perhaps: Zoom level (mouse scrollwheel) - seems very unlikely, but easy and quick to test FoV level (Mod + mouse scrollwheel) - not many people fiddle with this. A bit more likely, also easy and quick to test. Different widths of (virtual) screens might have slightly different effect on this The 'FEMALE_EYE_OFFSET_' variables in the settings.cfg of KSP. If those were tweaked manually -or through some other mod-, they may be causing the eyes to show in front of the camera plane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klgraham1013 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) The floating Kerbal eyes thing is some conflict with this and Texture Replacer Replaced. You can also see the teeth. I'll post a pic is a second. Edited January 28, 2018 by klgraham1013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
