[1.12.x] Cacteye 2 Refocused Full Release

linuxgurugamer · November 21, 2020

CactEye is a plugin and set of parts that allow for modular orbital telescopes. CactEye telescopes feature a fully-functional science system, and are upgradeable/serviceable (primarily through Kerbal Attachment System). Orbital telescopes also now become fundamental to discovering asteroids.

Parts

CactEye Optical System (left)
The main part of the telescope; optical systems are the actual telescope part of the telescope. This optics system comes with an aperture door to protect it from the sun's damaging rays.
FungEye Optical System (right)
A 1.25m variant optical system which is cheaper, lighter, and less bulky. Of course, this part is much more limited - it only has a single-use aperture (once the aperture is opened, it stays open), and can only gather 10% of any possible science gain.

	Wide Field Camera Processor Processors take the raw data from the optics system, do some wizardry™, and allow that data to be transmitted back home for scientific analysis. The Wide Field Camera is the most basic processor, and its use is simple. Just point the telescope at a celestial body, zoom in close enough, and snap a picture!
	Asteroid Camera Processor This processor will allow for scientific experiments to be done upon discovered asteroids based on their size classification. If a telescope is left with this processor running, it will increase the rate at which near-Kerbin asteroids are found. This mod will change the default asteroid discovery rate from 1/2 or 1/3 to 1/100 chance to discover an asteroid. Telescopes with these processors will improve the odds of discovery an asteroid.
	Occultation Camera Processor This is the most advanced processor, and it is only available in the third and final generation of processors. This processor will continually compute random dates to observe a specific target. Observing the target at the specified date will allow for large science gains. It is very important to upkeep maintenance on your telescope for this processor.
	Processor Mount Easily mount a processor anywhere! Surface attachable. Make sure to turn off angle snap if placing inside the cargo bay. Also, note that FungEye has its own internal mount (pictured right), so a new processor mount is unnecessary. Service Bay (not pictured) You need a place to put all this stuff! Also allows all your modules and whatnot to be accessible on later servicing missions.
	Gyroscope and Reaction-Wheel Unit (GRU) These are more advanced reaction wheel modules that allow for their torque to be reduced to make very fine adjustments. These deteriorate over time, so you'll need to replace or repair these periodically.
	Solar Panel Array This panel array features roll-out mechanics, like Hubble's first couple of arrays. It's rated at 8 e/s of charge. Servicing Ladder (not pictured) Goes nicely in the service bay.
	Smobodobodyne SLIM Probe Core A slim variant of the stock cubic probe core. It is radially mountable anywhere, but it does not feature any kind of reaction wheel.

WARNING! Never point telescope directly at sun!

COMPATIBILITY

Updated for KSP 1.8.x, 1.9.x, 1.10.x
Research Bodies
SCANsat
SpaceDust

RECOMMENDED MODS

None of these are required, however. The mod works on its own with no dependencies.

CactEye Contracts require Contract Configurator by @nightingale
Kerbal Attachment System
by IgorZ, with models by Winn75 and zzz
This plugin allows for Kerbals on EVA to swap out and install new parts on the telescope.
Kerbal Alarm Clock
by TriggerAu
This plugin is incredibly helpful to use with the Occultation experiments.
Shuttle Orbiter Construction Kit
by benjee10

KNOWN ISSUES

There is some shaking visible at very high zoom levels. Remember that KSP wasn't built to measure the rotation of a vessel this precisely.
Planets can get some weird clipping artifacts, and their lighting is incorrect. Remember that KSP wasn't really built to see planets from so far away.
Solar panels occasionally block themselves -- just rotate the telescope a bit further so that they can find the sun

Excited to see this come back. I used to play with it many moons ago.

evileye.x · November 24, 2020

@linuxgurugamer, thank you very much for taking over this mod (in addition to hundreds you already have )

The shuttle in the picture is actually from KSO

Another quite "dead" but nice mod.

Really missed this one. Thanks for adopting another one orphaned mod

I know, but it's a good picture, and I'm not about to remake it. If you can, then let me know and I can replace it

I’ve asked another modder if he can update the model/textures. Would be nice to get the parts updated

Oh heck yeah, I've been waiting for this mod to be resurrected. Definitely gonna add it to the shopping list for my next modded career save.

@CobaltWolf

2 years ago you were working on the Hubble replacement for CactEye, any change on finishing it and having it available for the updated mod?

Horus · November 27, 2020

@linuxgurugamerthere's "Occultation Camera Processor" mentioned in the very first post. And there's "CactEyeOccultation" in science definitions of this mod. But I don't see neither that processor nor the science experiment in the game.

Grabbed the latest version. It's not for 1.10.1, right?

I’ll look for that processor. Could be it was removed, but there is occulsion code in the mod

Ignore it. ModuleManager is reporting false positives.

As a test, I downloaded the latest beta from github and installed it. didn't have any errors starting up. And even if you see errors like what you posted, if it is from ModuleManager, you can ignore it

I would gladly ignore it, but I cannot proceed further that point - the game's stuck on the loading process with the message mentioned.

Although not listed in the OP, I see the latest beta patch notes mention CTB and TC which are often Dependencies on LGG mods. @Horus @Ravien do you have Click Through Blocker and ToolbarController installed?

Just a thought.
