[1.12.x] Kerbulator: use your own math!

[Secret Squirrel]

Oh ok, didn't even realise they were different haha. Thank you.

[Kussris]

Thanks for updating to 1.2 !!!!!!!!

[wmvanvliet]

Recompiled Kerbulator for KSP 1.3. Nothing should be broken.

[drtedastro]

is there any way to take a UT and convert it into kerbal day/month/year formats?

You'll have to use your own math. A Kerbal day is 6 hours (not 24 like an Earth day). One hour is 60 minuts. One minute is 60 seconds. Do the math!

(not sure how many months go in a Kerbal year)

The link to space.pdf seems to be broken.. I get "File not found" when I try to access it.

Thanks for that!

A couple of suggestions :-

• Click-through is quite a problem with Kerbulator.. there was a time when nothing could be done about that, but fortunately there is now, and most mods where it was an issue have now implemented fixes for it. It would be great if you could correct this.
• When running a function that requires user input, it would be nice if we could assign a label to the inputs, so as to display something in the run window, other than the variable name. Minor, I know, but if one has a lot of functions saved, some not used very often, one can forget what a particular variable was used for, and it would save having to look through the routine to see what data is being requested. . (always assuming it was properly documented in the first place, of course!)

clarification

[wmvanvliet]

Thanks for the heads up that click-through has a viable solution now. It's been a while since I've looked at Kerbulator. I'm still looking for ways to solve the enter and cursor keys not working in the editor, which is a real pain in the ass.

Just so you know, you can assign labels to input variables like this:

in: some_var "Label for variable"

The description appears in a tooltip when hovering above the corresponding input textbox.

Ahh.. I've been doing that, but wasn't aware of the tooltip aspect.Thanks!

I use CKAN to manage mods and noticed that according to maybe GetHub the max KSP version compatible with this mod is 1.1.3 instead of 1.3.1. It reports that the mod isn't compatible with the current version and won't allow install without bypassing compatibility protection.

Thanks for reporting this. I'll take a look.

Is there a way to calculate multiple maneuver nodes in one function? I'm making a function to calculate a Hohmann transfer, and it would be nice to plonk down a maneuver node at both the start of the transfer orbit & at the end.

[wmvanvliet]

Calculating multiple maneuver nodes in one function is not a problem, you can return a list of values like this: [x, y, z]. However, the interface currently doesn't allow for the automatic placement of a list of maneuver nodes. I've make a ticket on Github for it. I may get to it at some point https://github.com/wmvanvliet/Kerbulator/issues

Just wondering if this plug-in is still active or if someone planning to get it alive again? I liked it so much

[wmvanvliet]

Unfortunately, I no longer have any time to work on it (or play KSP for that matter). Having kids will do that to you  Anyone willing to work on it is extremely welcome to submit git pull requests!

Is Kerbulator still running on the new versions of KSP?

Kerbulator launches correctly, and I can open the "new functions" window, but there is no GUI in that window to input functions. It is just a blank grey box that won't go away. This is on Linux.

[wmvanvliet]

Just a heads up. I've recompiled Kerbulator against KSP version 1.4.4. I also finally fixed the clickthrough bugs.

That's awesome news! Many thanks!

@wmvanvliet : The link to the compiled Kerbulator is not functioning.

However, it appears to be on spacedock here.

Recompiled for KSP version 1.9. Nothing changed otherwise.

[User 456456]

Please, remove this from 1.9 version until fixed. It's just one huge freeze and bug. In general, excellent mod though.

For example, after opening kerbulator from construction:

      Kerbulator.GameGlue.EnsureLockReleased (System.String lockName) (at <03e550aed1704ccd8090010c9465e99d>:0)
    Kerbulator.KerbulatorGUI.OnGUI () (at <03e550aed1704ccd8090010c9465e99d>:0)
    Kerbulator.KerbulatorGUI.OnGUI () (at <03e550aed1704ccd8090010c9465e99d>:0)
    Kerbulator.GameGlue.OnGUI () (at <03e550aed1704ccd8090010c9465e99d>:0)

Freezes game on alt-tab too.

Thanks for the feedback! Based on this I did some more debugging and found that you were right. I missed two important scenarios where I should have unlocked the clickthrough prevention lock but did not. We live and learn. New version 0.46 pushed. Could you give that a try and see if things are now working properly at your end as well?
