[1.1.x] Kerbin Date Calendar Redux (Version 1.5)

[Schmonzo]

It seems to dissapear after some time in 0.25. anyone else got this problem?

[Cubeolus]

just a idea, I really want a mod that tells me stuff like the first kerbal I put in space and the date and the name of the craft and stuff. just a idea.

your lookin for "final frontier" my friend ... you will like it

[nuclearping]

Just for information: The mod works with 0.90 without any problems.

Download & Installation:

Download from Curse: http://www.curse.com/ksp-mods/kerbal/223684-kerbin-date-calendar

Download from Dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16274518/KSPCalendar-1.5-KSP0.24.2.zip

Any chance you could upload your mod to KerbalStuff.com ? I would love to have it indexed by CKAN for ease of installation / updating, but having it on kerbalstuff or even github would make our work soooo tremendously easier

Actually there is one thing lost here in the discussion of Kerbin days; 6 hours is Kerbin's sidereal day (rotation relative to "fixed space"; in real life, one will use very distant objects like stars to measure this). Kerbin's solar day is slightly (~50.8s) longer; the effect is that sunrise and sunset times would actually vary throughout the Kerbin year.

Earth time is based on Earth's solar day; Earth's sidereal day is shorter (~23h56m4s).

Just FYI, I saw this in KSP.log:

This should only happen once when you start the game. And it shouldn't have an impact on the functionality. The plugin still works, does it?

I'm probably need to modify the Plugin for 1.0 anyway. So I will have a look at this later then.

[nuclearping]

Just a small update: Plugin seems to be 1.0.* compatible. Works without problems here on 1.0.0 and 1.0.2.

[BlackHat]

Can you make this available on CKAN?

[AquilaLP]

This does not seem to work with 1.1.2...

Is there anything i can do?

(Hey that was a rhyme)

[ThatOneBritishGuy...]

I'll just say that this mod was great back when it worked, and as the developer no longer seems to be available, it would be great if someone could take over. It is licensed under CC after all.

Do you think there is any way to make it compatible with the latest KSP version? This mod would be a great addition for my YouTub series!

Depends. What exactly doesn't work?

It does not even show up... Everything is installed correctly (im also using like 30 other mods) Toolbar is up to date but Calendar is sadly not there...

[ThatOneBritishGuy...]

Then there is nothing to do but beg and plead for an update.... Or for some other modder to make a similar mod.

Since this has a CC license I've updated the code for KSP 1.1 here. No new features/functionality.

[NathanKell]

You may want to use the IDateTimeFormatter interface stuff and just replace how KSP does printing of dates.

Thank you very much for keeping it alive.

Fortunately for me, I'm quite busy with some RL work projects since last year and also haven't been playing KSP for quite a while. So unfortunately for this mod, I don't have much time and energy left to spend on getting back into C# and Unity stuff.

I already had some ideas in the past, like a part which you can put on a probe and deploy it on a surface and it will tell you the time on that spot, etc. Maybe I will get some time later this year when the biggest workloads are off.

Until then, I updated the OP and the title with your link.
