VAB symmetry issue

[Michel Bartolone]

I checked the forums, but have not found anything similar to this. Running 1.5.1, with a bunch of mods. Upgraded KIS yesterday, and now, I attach radial decouplers with 4 way symmetry, but when I try to attach fuel tanks using the same symmetry mode, I only get 1. SRBs are still working, but not fuel tanks. I have not tried any other parts yet. Has anyone seen this?

Additional info. 2 way symmetry is partially working...I put on two radial decouplers using symmetry, I can put on two tanks, BUT the physical offset of the one on the "back" is to the connector facing the central tank instead of the outer one. If I don't use a decoupler, the tanks go where they belong. If I change to 3, 4, 6 or 8 way, the decoupler attaches to the central object (tank) just fine, but I when I attempt to attach tanks to those decouplers, I only get one tank. Also, with 3,4,6 or 8 way symmetry, even without the decouplers, I only get one.

If I can figure out how to attach screen shots, I've got a few, showing I can use 2x symmetry sort of...it turns out the second tank is actually only getting attached to the same radial coupler as the first tank, the second radial coupler can have another tank (or two) attached to it separately. Attaching tanks to tanks works just fine in 2x symmetry, decouplers themselves work with 2x, 3x, 4x, 6x, and 8 x symmetry, but nothing (other than engines) will attach in any of the radial decouplers in any symmetry mode other than 2x.

 

 

I also found the following message (multiple times...a lot of multiple times) in the log:

    System.Collections.Generic.List`1[PartResource].get_Item (Int32 index)
    DictionaryValueList`2[System.Int32,PartResource].At (Int32 index)

I came here looking for answers to the exact same issue.

My mods list is about 20% as long as yours, so it may help to narrow things down.

I got:

• Near Future Everything
• B9PartSwitch
• DeployableEngines
• Mk4
• KIS
• KAS-1.0 Beta10
• TextureReplacer
• Kopernicus
• Galileo Planets
• Universal Storage II
• Dmagic Science
• Scansat
• EVE
• Station Parts Redux
• MKS with USI and Ground Construction
• ASET
• MechJeb2
• Kerbal Atomics
• Astrogator
• Final Frontier
• KSTS

I can't see anything on my own list that would mess with that find of functionality.  KAS maybe...I'll remove it and see what happens.

----

Removed KAS and everything works peachy now.

Update 2:

Did even more testing.  KAS again, for sure, is broken.  However, no issue is reported I could find on his Github or his thread.  It may be an interaction with another mod, but I couldn't figure out which without breaking my game entirely.  The only conflicting mod I know could be MKS that uses the same logic for its strut tubes, but that's not on your list.

Short term answer is no more KAS.

Found the culprit

[Bartholomew]

I was just about to post a new topic for this issue, luckily I found this first.

I have pretty much the same mod list as OP.

Here's the output_log: output_log.txt

If KAS is really the problem, and the only solution is to unistall it, that'd be a real bummer.

Thank you in advance for your help!

I take it back.  The bug returned even with KAS out, it just took longer to pop up in a building session.

I'm doing a full mod strip to see if its a stock problem.

Updates:

Fully stripped the game to pure stock, could not get the bug to trigger.

I have 2 more suspects on my list, Dmagic and B9 Part Switcher, also fresh game vs updated save from 1.4.5 to 1.5.1

 

Update 2:

Dmagic eliminated as a cause.  Its safe.  Ditto for KAS and KIS.

B9 Part Switcher will be fun to test.

 

Update 3:

Took out B9 part switcher, but it removed all the fuel from my stock tanks.  In hunting down the cause for that, I found and eliminated the CryoTanks folder that came from various Nertea mods.

Put B9 switcher back in.

I can no longer reproduce the bug.  I also can no longer switch fuels on the stock tanks, but that's not something I ever really used anyways.

I'll keep testing to see if its just that config script or the .dll that's the problem.

 

Update 4: Conclusion

CryoTanksFuelTankSwitcher.cfg was the source of my own issues, located in the Cryotanks/Patches folder

Its not bad per se, but it basically causes B9 Part Switcher to conflict with Squad's Stock color switcher.

I assume anything that overrides Squad stock parts by messing with their fuel may also cause this kind of issue, even if you're not using Cryotanks or Cryoengines from NFT or FFT packs.

Since taking out that patch, I've been hitting the VAB pretty hard for about an hour and haven't seen the bug reproduced.  All other mods are in and working just fine.

Latest B9 Partswitch and 1.5 version of Nertea's Cryotanks seems to have fixed everything now also.

 

[andylizi]

I confirmed that the bug described in the original question is caused by Configurable Containers. When I uninstalled it, all works fine.
