Crew information

[Link Hogthrob]

I am trying to get some info on the crew when my custom commandpod explodes and write it to a file.

Here is my code:

  protected override void onPartExplode()
  {
    print('KIA!');

    try
    {
      // file is comma delimited
      // name,data\n
      if (!File.Exists(hofFile)) File.Create(hofFile);

      string fileContents = File.ReadAllText(hofFile);

      // get list of crew KIA
      foreach (ProtoCrewMember pcm in KerbalCrewRoster.CrewRoster)
      {        
        string crewman = pcm.KerbalRef.crewMemberName;

        print(crewman);
        print(pcm.name);
        print(pcm.courage.ToString());
        fileContents += string.Format('{0},KIA,{1},{2},{3}\n', crewman, FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel.vesselName, DateTime.Now.ToString('MM-dd-yyyy'), FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel.missionTime);
      }

      File.WriteAllText(hofFile, fileContents);

      print('Crew HoF saved');
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
      // ignore
    }

    base.onPartExplode();
  }

It doesn\'t appear to be going through the crew list at all. I also tried FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel.GetVesselCrew to no avail.

Can anyone help?

I must say that this plugin development has left me clueless on numerous occasions. Stuff you think should work just doesn\'t (like playing an mp3 I added to the sounds folder).

It seems the crew is already completely deleted by the time onPartExplode() is called.

So I create a copy of the crew in onFlightStarted instead. Now I can use them even after they\'re gone.

BTW, I might throw a random name generator in there for the little kerbs, or even make a crew customization plugin.
