[1.12.*] KerBalloons Reinflated - Real Science?

Recommended Posts

@linuxgurugamer fyi...CKAN is pulling 0.5.0.8 from SpaceDock which is the version that does not work with Principia, rather than the latest version on GitHub = 0.5.0.7 which we discussed & verified earlier in this thread that does work fine with Principia.  Would be great to have CKAN manage the 0.5.0.7 version.  Thanks.

For me, the 3.75m service bay wasn't showing in the VAB and the animation didn't work for the 0.65m service bay. Digging around, I noticed that the service bays use different animations now and that the config for the 3.75m bay was referencing an outdated model.

@linuxgurugamer I submitted a PR on GitHub to resolve these issues, and while I was at it I created a patch for ReStock.

Until they're able to find the time to update this minor issue in one of the Augean stable of mods they heroically care for, the following MM patches will do the job:

Basic patch (won't be applied if ReStock is present):

Spoiler
//Fix broken door animation on service bays + incorrect file path for 3.75m bay
@PART[ServiceBay_0625]:NEEDS[!ReStock]:AFTER[KerBalloons]
{
	@MODULE[ModuleAnimateGeneric]
	{
		@animationName = ServiceBayDoors
	}
}
@PART[ServiceBay_375]:NEEDS[!ReStock]:AFTER[KerBalloons]
{
	@model = Squad/Parts/Utility/ServiceBay_v2/ServiceBay_250_v2
	@MODULE[ModuleAnimateGeneric]
	{
		@animationName = ServiceBayDoors
	}
}

I get massive NRE spam in my logs which I believe may be traced to this mod. Here's a log file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u4TEFoLFsJPxH6mTmLgSmDWYNCgE6-JI/view?usp=sharing

What I did when it happened:
1) Launched a small science rocket out to the ocean like 8km from KSC. Super short distance, no big deal. It continues gathering science with Kerbalism
2) Noticed it was out of range, and it couldn't transmit data. Got brilliant idea to inflate a balloon with an antenna, as I suspected the probe was just a little too far out and the horizon was in the way while it was splashed down. Figured the balloon could act as a relay.
3) I was right. It worked! yay! - but I don't really care to wait around for the balloon now, so I try to go back to space center. Game informs me that I cannot do that mid-flight and that it's going to take me back in time instead. That's annoying, but okay, fine whatever. Not such a brilliant plan after all I guess.
4) I come back to space center, balloon craft icon is on the launchpad, but NREs are spamming me like crazy (I have the error display up in the right corner which caused me to suspect it.

It appears to happen after doing something with Balloons. I would then go ahead and retest this exact thing again just to be sure. The log attached is the confirmation attempt.

EDIT: Here's the full modlist installed: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xN8rAX_M04w5H-79PLUWc8cdp0z-CpRdRaL1I7-hI14/edit?usp=sharing

Interesting that you point to this mod, when all the null references are in DistantObject.  Not saying that it's not this, but this could be a mod interaction.

Try removing  DistantObjectEnhancement and see what happens.

Attempting to install and get I confronted with a rather spooky error message. The other parts from this mod show up in the VAB, just not the  balloon itself.

the error itself

my KSP.log file

any idea what's going on?

Probably not installed correctly.

I recommend you use CKAN to install your mods

The 0.625m service bay doors do not work, they are just stuck open. there is a toggle button but it does nothing.  

You have Kerbalism installed.    Try it without Kerbalism and I'll look at it, otherwise contact the Kerbalism folk

@linuxgurugamer Do these balloons allow you to hover in one place? I'm designing a Jool floating base and need to know if I have to do something janky.

No, but you can use AirPark if  you want.  

This is just a simple balloon mod. There is a mod to do dirigibles, but it's not well maintained
