[1.12.x] Docking Camera KURS Style Re-Adopted (Fixed in 1.9)

[Gingt]

I just saw this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_fteXcuH3Y)
that camera zoom already exists.
Please forget the "suggestion 2" I wrote.

Earlier, I suggested about the possibility of the player choosing to invert the axis (x and/or y) of the deviation indicator (the green cross) of the dock alignment mod.(https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php ?/topic/40423-181-docking-port-alignment-indicator-version-685-updated-121419/)

I can look into this, no idea when, though.  Inverting the camera is a bit more problematic for now

Suggestion 2: option to zoom in/out on the camera image.
Since the dock image disappears in the dark when it's about 2m away (as if it were already pasted to the other dock door), a zoom out could give a better sense of distance between the docks.

Add a light.  Not going to be done.  Sorry

Suggestion 3:
Customize the size of the mod window in the form of a slider (like the "Docking Port Alignment Indicator")

Not as easy as it sounds.  It has to do with the way the mod was written.  I'll keep it in mind, but not sure I can do this

Hey Linux, I don't know where is the best place for that suggestion but here we go: could you adopt this mod, or, if is not possible, do something similar to newer versions of KSP?

Tks, and sorry for the wrong place for this, I guess

Next time, send me a PM.

I'll  look at it.  It's pretty old, there have been some major changes since then, so no promises

Wow!
I didn't think you would respond so quickly.
It was really fast. Thanks for the answer.

I did some tests and noticed that both the "Cam mod" and the "Alignment Indicator" mod have the deviation indicator (green cross) emitting data based on the "cabin tip x target", and not the "dock port x target".
 

Spoiler

 

I also noticed that camera zoom is not available for me.
That is, the mods are not having any problems in themselves, most likely it is something in the installation location.
It's strange, because I installed it through ckan.

Should I handle something so that the mod is correctly installed?

If you installed it via CKaN, it's installed correctly

Did you select the docking part as the target?

I ran into a colleague who was going through the same thing.
The problem turned out to be the Clamp-o-Tron inline part.
It seems that this specific part reversed the orientation of the DockingCamera (and also the Docking Port Alignment Indicator).
With other docking parts, the mods are working perfectly.

I tested it with a module with another Clamp-o-Tron.
The DockingCam was perfectly aligned with the "Ship x Target orientation".

The problem, in the end, was in the part.
Sorry about the false alarm.

Hello,

      I have a question about the docking camera this mod places on the stock docking clamps (like  on the Clamp-O-Tron).    Is there a zoom fucntion in game for the docking camera?   I noticed on some youtube vidoes that show off the docking camera, they were zooming the docking view in and out.  I have looked all over but can't find any method to change the zoom.  If there is not a function, is there a way in the a config file somewhere where we can set the zoom amount or field of view?   Really like this mod, just would like to zoom the view out a little bit.

Thanks,
 

Ken

The same happens to me.

I'll reinstall to see what happens.

That's probably the HullcamVDS mod, it also puts cameras in docking ports

I'll wait for the release of the att.
There is no compatible version on Ckan yet.
This would be the mod with zomm in/out on the docking cams?

I was a bit confused, because this thread (https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/166305-131-docking-camera-kurs-style/) had this video

They are very similar in appearance, with the exception of the alignment indicator and the camera zoom slider.

The zoom was disabled for the docking camera itself, it still exists in the onboard camera part

I'll look into what it will take to put it back into the docking camera

[linuxgurugamer]

New release, 1.3.8.5

• Restored Zoom to docking camera (was disabled for some reason)

Note:  CKAN is having a technical problem, so it's not being updated in CKAN, if you want this version before then, you will need to download it from here:

https://spacedock.info/mod/1542/Docking camera (KURS)

[Gingt]

I was going to ask if you have a patreon, when I noticed it in your signature.
You certainly deserve to be paid for everything you've been doing.

Not sure if this is normal but the onboarding camera stops working as soon as I launch.

Ummm, not really enough information.  What "onboarding" camera?

What version of the game, what version of the mod, etc.

Hello, I love this mod but unfortunately it hasn't been working for me recently between a few different installs. Basically I press the button in the PAW to open the docking cam and nothing happens, no window opens to show the camera. I run a pretty heavy mod list so I suspect its a conflict of some kind but I have no idea what could be causing the issue. Here is a link to the ksp.log file https://file.io/gwNw9vJjBbZf. I've had to use navyfish docking alignment most of the time recently since it seems to always work with no issue, even though I would much rather use this. I'm mainly using parts from BDB and I know it works with them because I've used it with BDB in the past. I've tried removing other mods that mess with docking ports or cameras like the navyfish mod and neptune camera which I sometimes run but I still have the issue, even sitting on launch pad with another vessel and docking ports targeted, still nothing. Like I said earlier, I've had a few different installs all with the same issue over probably months. Most of those installs have similar mod lists but some variation between them.

Sorry, I was thinking that now KSP1 modding is finished and KSP2 is on main paige  after work I will send log.

Thanks for maintaining this mod! 

I am having an issue playing in OpenGL (all cameras show as pink, except for greyscale). I have verified that it does not happen in DX, but as I play on the Linux build, it isn't really an option for me (tested on Steam+Proton, but performance was quite bad).

Any chance of a fix? Not sure the complexity. If not, I'll just keep using it in greyscale only. :)

It's a shader issue, I can't fix it right now.  Been a long time since I looked at the shaders.  I'll keep it in mind,  but probably won't get to it.  If someone else does and gets me a patch, I'll put out an update

Sorry it took me so long but I have to wait to reach first port to be able to upload so big file.
