[1.12.x] Community Tech Tree (July 3)

[Nertea]

Approved on Curse now, all download links should be good. 

[FreeThinker]

Finally, at first sight it is looking good!

@Nertea  Edit: However, there is a problem. Does anyone see missing arrow lines between the bottom tech-nodes?

This was with the mod HideEmptyTechTreeNodes, without it, it becomes even worse:

Discovered a very vexing thing while testing the 1.2 update today - seems that at the higher ( > 85%) zoom levels, arrows in some random parts of the tree don;'t render in 1.2. It appears to be correlated with the screen's position - move too far to the bottom right and it happens.

@Probus - have you started updating ETT, and if so, have you seen these flicking arrows?

I guess this is the problem I'm seeing ...

An interesting observation I can make is that the arrows don't disappear when not zooming in more than 80%, perhaps we could prevent KSP from zooming in further, averting the problem ... 

Another idea: perhaps we can solve the problem if we moved the whole tech either up or down or to the left?

Yes, it is. Please let me know if you figure anything out.

Before I start experimenting, what have you tried yet?

[Nertea]

Reverted all icons to defaults, debugged all arrows and connections, removed random sets of nodes, removing the top part of the tree and moving it to the bottom.

Things I have not tried:

• Removing every node and re-adding one by one
• Moving the whole tree up.

I could put that in my mod if you want. I already have an option to increase the minimum zoom. Or is it decease? Um, I changed the default minimum zoom from 60% to 35%. I could do something similar for the max zoom.

I tried removing and re-adding every parent in my plugin, didn't seem to work.

Alright, I found a solution, change every third component of the pos of each technode back to -1 (from 0). After this the problem is solved for me..

Alright, I found a solution, change every third component of the pos of each technode back to -1 (from 0). After this the problem disappears with me..

Fixed CTT:

How odd. That actually makes sense then, if -1 is a z-coordinate of the GUI object, that its Z-order would matter in z-fighting, which would show up at different zoom levels. @Olympic1, author of the PR that I accepted that changed this... comments?

I am not at my modding computer so I can't actually test this, and I'm wary of releasing something without a cursory test at least. @FreeThinker, are you sure that this fixes it, and that there are no unwanted side effects?

I could  not detect any visual change, for FYI, I used this setting for my internal CTT (which I intend to delete) for over a year now, I had noticed in the CTT change log you changed this to 0, which I could not understand why, but after I saw this bug, it's one of the first things I though to my self I should try, which took me less then a few minute to implement and test..

@Nertea I can confirm @FreeThinker's fix. Changing those values to -1 fixed the flickering.

[Nertea]

Like I said above, it came in with a PR that looked generally good. I didn't see any problems in the 1.2pre with those values, so something must have changed.

Not sure, my best guess is that all the new icons pushed it over the edge somehow, like the part count did in the part menu causing the flickering bug ...

What counts is that we now have a solution that is satisfactory and easy to implement ..

You'd be suprised at how difficult it is to implement things when you're doing it remotely

I pushed the hotfix though, should be on dropbox and spacedock. Curse later.

Great, no more disapearing arrows! I tested it and it works perfectly now, especially in combination with

Which removes all those ugly empty tech nodes, it even now works with upgrade placeholders!

Personally, I think we should bundle @ev0 HideEmptyTreeNodes mod with CTT as it solves the the biggest remaining problem  of CTT, empty technodes ...

Empty tech nodes are objectively not a problem but could even be seen as a "feature", and for those vocal few who have a subjective problem with them, there is a mod.

Well initially CTT did hide all empty technodes, but due to the limitation of the new stock techtree mechanism (which replace a techtree mod), it made some technodes unreachable, @Nertea was forced to always show them.

The reasoning was transparency. Initially everything was hidden and mods were instructed to unhide their chains. It ended up being easier on modders to unhide everything by default than do that. 

I prefer not bundling ev0's plugin and instead advertising it in the OP, as that allows the largest amount of flexibility.

Yep, I remember that it originally had a "forced" origin after the old tech manager was not necessary for tech tree modding anymore.

But regardless of the origin of that behaviour, it objectively provides the user with more information and it makes the tech tree more predictable.

For example, if you only install a very late game mod (eg ftl) and later install a mod for the nodes in between, that could result in the latter nodes being researched while the many in between nodes are still locked.

cc.  Keep them all uncovered.  Trying to update and/or reconcile multiple mods is much easier when you can see where everything sits.

Alright, then you should provide it as an optional recommended download next to the main download.

That way the mod at least get the attention it deserves.

By the way, we need to fix the CTT CKAN definition , can someone with expertise make it available for KSP 1.2

Not really a Nertea problem, but Spacedock has been bugged I think since the 1.2 drop in that if you are not already following a mod, you don't get the option now. The place where the follow button was is also where the unfollow button goes and it is still there. I have tried emailing using the contact link on the site, I have done forum wide search's for "space dock" and "spacedock" to find the thread on it, but it is not coming up, and I tried bringing it up twice in IRC with no response. So if anyone knows who to contact about it, please pass it on.

I tested the 1.1.3 version on 1.2 to see if CTT needed changes. When I went to the R&D, the whole tree got messed up and some icons were missing. After checking the 1.2 changes I noticed that the z-coordinates changed from -1 to 0, so I did that too for CTT and that got the tree fixed.

I think that the reason for the missing lines is that the tree is set too low. I can't test this now because I'm still away until monday.
