Hello all, do we know if an update to the CKAN for 1.6 is in the works?

No clue.

Or will I have to install this manually?

Just 2 posts above yours, I've explained how to install this mod via CKAN for a 1.6 install. It got pictures and stuff :)

New reelase, 1.9.5.2

  • Fixed saving of profiles
  • Fixed loading of profiles
  • Some optimizations by reducing duplicate calls
  • Following due to changes in KSP:
    • Changed the OnLoad in the ScienceAlertProfileManager to calling a CoRoutine so it can wait until the scene is ready
    • Changed the OnVesselChange in the ScienceAlertProfileManager to calling a CoRoutine so it can wait until the OnLoad is complete

When experiments are available, the icon for ScienceAlert on the stock toolbar is blank.  When science isn't available, the icon for it is the green bottle on the stock toolbar.   Any idea on how that can be fixed to show the correct icons on the stock toolbar or not be blank when science is available?

Will it be 1.6 compatible?

It is and even though the thread title still says [1.5.*], I'm pretty sure that the latest release is compiled for 1.6 (especially because it is listed for 1.6.0 on CKAN and spacedock).

Since 1.5. and 1.6. didn't provide huge changes to the KSP API and the engine version didn't change neither, most mods from 1.4 still work perfectly fine in 1.5 and 1.6.

Oh good! Thanks!

FWIW (as I have little time for debugging KSP ATM), I tried 1.9.5.2 on KSP 1.5.1, and I'm seeing a consistent 20FPS+ performance hit (vsync @60 -> ~40) while in flight. Nothing interesting is being logged, and the mod appears to otherwise work fine.

Hmm... did anyone here made own settings and can remember if he had to load it every time before a flight?
I'm pretty sure it was only on the first start (or the first time on a new game), now its just "default" every time and I have to change it before a flight to my saved profile

I just got this, and started a new game.  When I go on EVA and get an EVA report, then hit keep, it doesnt show it for review on my kerbal or when I get back to my capsule.  Transmitting data does not seem to work even when having an external antenna.

So, the profile is being saved, but you need to load it before a flight?

Yes, before every flight. Can't remember if it was that way before i updated to 1.6..1 

EDIT:
Just did a clean install with all mods again and it works just like it should. Thanks for your time!

I tested this, don't see it.  I was able to go on EVA, get science, keep it, return to the capsule and transmit it down (with an external antenna).

I need more info, a log file, and if possible a video showing it not working

Curious, is that happening while the icon is animated?

I did not test this travelling over already completed biomes specifically (my test case being an aircraft on Kerbin) or switching off experiment monitoring to prevent the animation.
I don't recall there being any noticeable difference wrt the icon animating or not though, it looked like a consistent performance hit whenever in flight.

Re-testing the same craft I first noticed this with, the problem appears to be considerably reduced.
Either the cause was addressed in 1.9.5.3 or my testing is flawed.
I'm still seeing a framerate hit with Science Alert installed, but it's now a very acceptable one.

[x]Science, fwiw, still murders performance while the 'here and now" window is open, though that one has not been updated recently and what I am using is an unofficial build.


If you have any further investigation in mind, I can likely oblige. Let me know what you need and I'll clone my install to test it.

Ok, that was a long shot, but I needed to know.  The animated icon is manual, so there is a decent amount of processing going on for that.

I don't remember exactly, but I do know there were some improvements made in the recent builds.  Given what it does, it's impossible to avoid all impact, it does need to do things in order to do it's thing :-)

For now, I'll consider it resolved.

[x] Science, does things in a different way, and is checking ALL biomes & experiments.  I believe that there was an unofficial build which fixed that particular issue, no idea when it was done.  The unofficial build simply disabled checks for biomes which the current vessel wasn't around (I don't remember the details)

Hi @linuxgurugamer could you add alerts based on contracts?
Example:
Magneto Scan ist maxed out so 0% science, but if a contract pops up an wants a new scan to transmit or return, it would be nice if i would get a new alert based on the contract goals.
 

Possible or did i miss something in the settings?

Sorry, no.  That is outside the scope of this mod
