[1.12.x] FlightTracker - Library for tracking a Kerbals flight data - 3.0.0.3 (12/08/2021)

[severedsolo]

If you are not a modder, and this is not a dependency of a mod you use, this is probably not for you. This mod will do nothing unless another mod references it.

So basically, I wanted to make another mod that uses the same data Earn Your Stripes currently tracks. Rather than duplicating my code, or making this new mod a dependency of Earn Your Stripes I decided to split the tracker off into it's own mod.

What it does:

FlightTracker will track the following things for every kerbal in your roster:

• How many flights a kerbal has completed
• Total flight time accumulated by a kerbal
• How many World Firsts a kerbal has accomplished (a Kerbal must achieve orbit before any world firsts will be counted)
• A Vessels true Mission Elapsed Time (calculated from launch time)

Publically exposed methods:

• Convert UTToString(double time) - will take a period of time in raw UT and convert it to the hours as a string (mainly designed to be used in UIs). If number of hours exceeds 1,000 it will truncate them, to avoid UI overflow (ie 1k instead of 1,000).
• GetNumberOfFlights(string kerbalName) - returns the number of flights that a kerbal has successfully completed.
• GetRecordedMissionTimeSeconds (string kerbalName) - returns the time a kerbal has logged in seconds (only updated on vessel recovery)
• GetRecordedMissionTimeHours(string kerbalName) - as above, but returns it in hours instead.
• GetLaunchTime(string kerbalName) - returns the time (in UT) that a kerbal last launched (updated when OnVesselRollout fires)
• GetNumberOfWorldFirsts(string kerbalName) - returns the number of World Firsts a kerbal has accomplished after achieving orbit (updated in real time)
• VesselRealMet(Vessel vessel) - returns the actual time since launch (in UT) - if Flight Tracker wasn't installed when the vessel was launched, will return Vessel.missionTime instead (so you are never worse off than you were)
• VesselRealMet(Guid vesselId) - as above but you can pass it a Vessel.id instead of the actual vessel.

If this mod is installed by itself, and later another such as Earn Your Stripes is added, will the new mod be able to see the history?

Yup, Flight Tracker does it's thing completely independently.

Kerbal Changelog has been updated for 1.8.x as of December 8th

[severedsolo]

Flight Tracker 3.0 Released

• Put the API into it's own class, properly separated non API functions into separate classes (sorry I broke the API, all mods that depend on FlightTracker need an update).
• Added new API function - VesselRealMet (you can pass it vessel.id or Vessel) - will tell you the ACTUAL MET of the vessel, not what KSP records. (Flight Tracker must be installed when vessel launches for this to work).

@severedsolo I just noticed this in the in game log/console/debug whatever, while trying to figure out a problem with stage recovery, this is endlessly generating/looping while the KSC scene is active. I see flight tracker in there, so thought I'd report that, do you want logs?

You've forgotten to update one of your mods, or I've shipped the wrong dll for one of the dependant mods.

It's either going to be: Earn Your Stripes, Memorial Wall, or Bureaucracy. (If it's I've shipped wrong dll then yes I'll need a log, or at least the stacktrace of that exception from the log)

Was earn your stripes, had forgotten that flight tracker was a dependency for that mod so when i updated it for Memorial Wall and Bureaucracy it broke earn your stripes, because i didn't realize it needed updated too. updated and all fixed.

There seem to be other issues going on in my save as well, trying to track down funky business...

I feel like those "other issues" might be the key here.

The error is being thrown by EarnYourStripes (but it's fine to post it here, the error does blame FlightTracker after all).

What are these other issues? Because AFAICT the only way that error could happen, is if the Kerbal in question was no longer part of your crew. I will go through your log though, it's entirely possible that EYS is dying earlier, and causing the issue.

@AccidentalDisassembly

Edit 2: I think I found the issue

Contract (Hold a space camp): This was a great success, we've got a new pilot (Halfield Kerman), engineer (Surim Kerman) and scientist (Isamin Kerman) ready for future missions!

Does this contract happen to turn tourists into crew?

Yes, exactly - it's a Space Camp contract where you get to keep a certain number of the tourists after the contract is successfully completed.

Ah, in that case it isn't a problem for you.

EYS builds a list of crew when the scene starts, at the time that Kerbal wasn't crew, they were a tourist. I'd worry if that one falling over was stopping the others from being processed, but I can see from your log that's not the case, and next time the list was built, they were included.

It's a bit rubbish that they won't get the credit for that first flight, but I'm not going to start tracking every tourist, your save file would balloon.

Thank you for pointing it out though, I think there may be a problem with Rescue contracts if they have this same issue, which I will need to look into.

Just my two cents, but considering other mods store entire hangars full of .craft data, in addition to KSP's own, in persistent.sfs, I wouldn't worry *too* much about including a few Kerbals' names.

It's not so much the size of the save files, as the memory needed to load those save files.

We all know that KSP is bad at memory management, I'm not keen to be creating new objects for Kerbals who are probably only going to be around for one mission anyway.
