[0.21.x] Kerbal Crew Manifest v0.5.5.0 Released! 0.21 Compatible!!!

[vXSovereignXv]

Next version will support adding kerbals to seats right?

I haven't found a good way to support it yet and haven't had a lot of time to work on this mod lately. So I can't promise that it'll be in the next release.

Hey everyone,

Just installed this mod to gamedata and it has no problems at first.

When I click resume game in the main menu though nothing happens and I can't access any of my saves.

I have mechjeb and mouse flight mods installed.

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks!

[Fyrem]

what the heck is "Mouse flight mod"?

Presumably, it allows control of the spacecraft's yaw and pitch with the mouse rather than the WASD/arrow keys.

[Kerbal01]

It's the hydro tech Mouse Drive, the guy also does a Hydro Tech RCS autopilot for docking.

Hey guys, having some trouble with this mod. I've installed it as instructed here, but there is no manifest icon in game? I tried adding the MODULE { name = CrewManifestModule } to the modules I'm working with, but still no icon? What am I missing? It's the latest (as of this post) version of KSP with MechJeb installed.

The icon should be in the top left. It may be obscured by other UI features; if so, it should be visible in the Space Center view. Clicking on it allows you to move it around with sliders so you can see it elsewhere.

No icons. Here's my screen. Am i missing it?

you must have installed it wrong.

How exactly does permadeath work?

Does it delete them or just makes them not respawn, I kind of want to enable it, but I want to be able to use the respawn command to revive Jeb, would that work?

[vXSovereignXv]

Permadeath completely removes them from the roster. There would be no way to get Jeb back if he died while it's enabled.

[Benie]

Not sure if this is known, but Crew Manifest will not work on other planets except Kerbin. I had used Sphere Launchpad to "teleport" a habitation module for my Space Station crew to live there, but it already had two Kerbals in the landing can.

Tried to use this, and there was no option to remove them. But the more I think about this, I think this isn't a bug at all. I mean, how are Kerbals supposed to get back home if you "kick them out" via Crew Manifest, on another planet? It's not very realistic.

Is this the reason?

I'm curious as to how this mod will be affected by the crew system update in .21. I have a feeling it's either going to be made obsolete (a good thing when a mods functions are taken over by the vanilla game) or it's going to be broken in a bad way....

You could...just edit him back in. Reset/turn off permadeath. 'Permanent' if you don't know your way around KSP's cfgs/settings files ect. Edited July 9, 2013 by Good_Apollo

Dear mod developer, could you take a look at this thread, especially the referenced post?

It is a savegame corrupting error that stems from referencing the array of Kerbals starting at 1 instead of 0.

I personally suspect your mod, though I love the functionality it adds.

Could you check whether there is a chance that you, for example, accidentally increment the crew index before reading/writing it? From personal experience, a misplaced ++var instead of var++ can make all the difference in the world when it comes to array boundaries.

Sincerely,

Ghostbird

There's no where in the code in which I mess with the indexes of the crew lists. I add them either via methods written by Squad or using the Add() method on the list. (ex: part.Crew.Add(kerbal)). That's not to say there isn't something in my mod messing it up. I would just need more info to find it. I haven't ever seen it as I played.

I don't know what the new Crew Management system will offer. I'll most likely keep any functionality that isn't offered by the new system and scrap the rest. It will be nice to officially have this functionality in the game.

The add/remove function is only enabled when the vessel is Landed at the launchpad or runway at KSC. This was the intended functionality.

[BFGfreak]

So any word on when we can expect Crew manifest to be updated? I for one forgot how much of a hassle it was to EVA multiple kerbals across a station.

Also I wouldn't mind the kerbal creator to make a return as well along with respawning.

[tfm]

I agree, this mod is still sorely needed!

[dlrk]

Yup, the transfer functionality is critical.

[Commander Zoom]

Seconded (thirded?).

[Sapphire]

I agree too. It's sort of half-implemented into the game, but the crew transfer is still sorely needed for space stations and docked craft. Also the Kerbal creation/editing thing is awesome.

[vXSovereignXv]

I won't have time to look at this until tomorrow most likely. I haven't had an opportunity to even install .21 yet I'll make crew transfer the first priority, then see if I can salvage anything else.

[Scotius]

Can you also look at Create/Edit option? I have a Grand Tour AAR planned, but it requires individually created Kerbals with custom names and traits.

[tfm]

Thankfully you can still edit the save file directly and change names. There is a list of new recruits so you can simply change them. But it is so much nicer in game.

[Pachi3080]

we still need this mod! I wan't to create my own kerbals to hire! And the crew transfer?
