Can someone tell me if this is a bug or a improper install? It causes bad lag during time warp with all the spam.

Those bits in the log happen every second or so during warp.

You may want to raise this in the Final Frontier topic since that appears to be the mod causing your problem.  Be prepared to supply a game log.

I removed Final Frontier, even started a new game after, it still happens. It has to do with active limit being reached and new contracts being blocked.

Hey guys, I just started on RP-0 and it gave me a message that it told me to put on the forums. Here it is... 

Exception occured while loading ScenarioModule 'BiomeTracker':
System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'CelestialBody.GetDisplayName'.

Anybody in the mood for helping? :)

@Varunz16, welcome to the forums.

Additionally, you may want to include your log files (most likely called output_log.txt in your KSP directory).  See the topic below for help with that.  Upload your log to DropBox, Google Drive or similar service and post a link to the log here.  This will help diagnose the problem your having.

Not sure if it is a mod incompatibility, but contract configurator crashes the game just as it finishes loading initially. I need it to be able to remove contracts :\ I am using v1.3.1 prerelease

Read the post just above yours.

Since you're using the KSP pre-release and Contract Configurator for 1.3.0, are you surprised?

Just a quick query: does reputation affect the number of trivial, standard and exceptional contract limits? Or is that affected by building upgrades? 

Reputation has a massive effect on contract limits (and that's a stock feature).  Starting at -1k will give only access to trivial contracts (with a few scripted exceptions).

Yup, that's known.  It just needs a recompile, will be doing that and a bug fix or two for a release shortly.

New release compatible with KSP 1.3.1!  Download here.

Contract Configurator 1.23.3

  • Recompile for KSP 1.3.1
  • Improved display of HasAntenna parameter ratings (thanks Kerbas-ad-astra).
  • Fixed logic for determining contract prestige (thanks sopindm).
  • Fixed previously unlocked parts being re-locked if player tries to buy a science node they don't have sufficient funds for (thanks inigma).
  • Fixed issue using DATA_EXPAND with values that had special characters in them.  Fixes interop issues between CatEye and Other Worlds Planet pack (thanks Chemox).

I think I'm losing my mind ... I could have swore I once had a contract pack that made use of Dmagic's Orbital Science parts (little brother surveillance etc) ... but I can't seem to find it anywhere

Dmagic Orbital Science uses it's own contracts which are nothing to do with CC

The cause may not be CC - you might want to check the release thread of the planet/realism mod you use that adds a planet called 'Earth'.

One of the changes made in 1.3.1 that affects such mods has to do with the body names, and they may not have updated/recompiled to deal with that change.

Ahh ok ... strange haven't had one yet that uses any of his parts which is why I thought I was missing a contract pack :P

Could you please update to the latest version in CKAN? Had to disable the latest update of ResearchBodies because it requires this mod to be 1.23.3 and 1.23.2 is the latest available in CKAN, thx.

The update is automatic, and worked as far as I'm concerned - the .ckan file got loaded by the NetKAN system:

https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN-meta/blob/master/ContractConfigurator/ContractConfigurator-1.23.3.ckan

Versions all look correct, so if you're having an issue you'll need to report it to the CKAN folk.

@nightingale The buttons for toggling active/offered waypoints and orbits at the top of the Tracking station don't work for me. Clean install, only CC 1.23.3 installed. I can provide a log but there's no warnings or errors in it, the interface loads fine with:

[LOG 19:22:58.316] [AddonLoader]: Instantiating addon 'TrackingStationUI' from assembly 'ContractConfigurator'
[LOG 19:22:58.317] [AddonLoader]: Instantiating addon 'TitleTrackerHelper' from assembly 'ContractConfigurator'

I have Contract Configurator installed with Strategia and the Field Research contract pack (no others), and I've noticed contracts popping in and out of existence in the Mission Control screen.  Sometimes I'll open Mission Control and see one or two contracts disappear and a new one appear, and then nothing changes after that.  But sometimes there'll be one one contract slot, at the end of the ones from Field Research, that keeps disappearing and reappearing as a different contract each time, for as long as I have Mission Control open.

Someone in the Strategia thread mentioned SCANsat contracts "blinking in and out at a fast pace" — that sounds similar to what I'm seeing, except I don't have SCANsat installed and in my case it's Field Research contracts doing it.

Edit: I've also seen a pair of contracts switching places in the list.  Both stock tourism contracts, adjacent to each other in the list, and sporadically every few seconds they just trade places in the list.

When any of these changes happen (the disappearing/appearing contract offerings, or swapping active contracts), it also un-selects whatever contract I currently have selected.

FYI, I see this occasionally as well but not at the frequency mentioned above.  A contract might be available on first entering Mission Control, and then revert to unavailable in a couple of seconds (I've presumed as it reassesses the criteria) but then it's stable.  I really have to look for the behaviour and, for me, it doesn't affect game play at all.  Relevant mods:

KSP: 1.3 (Win64) - Unity: 5.4.0p4 - OS: Windows 10  (10.0.0) 64bit
Contract Configurator - 1.23.2
Contract Pack: Field Research - 1.2.1
Crowd Sourced Science - 4.1
DMagic Orbital Science - 1.3.0.10
CapCom Mission Control On The Go - 1.0.2.7
Contract Parser - 1.0.7
Contracts Window Plus - 1.0.8.1
Progress Parser - 1.0.8
ResearchBodies - 1.9.5
SCANsat - 1.1.8

I'll have to note in which group these contracts reside the next time I see this.

How do I set up a contract pack to work with Kopernicus?  As it is I have the Bases and Station contract pack installed and it all works but I don't get any launch space station missions.  It's odd as all the other contracts work so any help for getting it working would be great.

@captinjoehenry The problem is the line:

20 hours ago, captinjoehenry said:

maxAltitude = @/targetBody1.IsSun() ? 113549713200 : @/targetBody1 == Gilly ? 16000 : @/targetBody1.SpaceAltitudeThreshold()

If you change it to:

Quote

maxAltitude = @/targetBody1.IsSun() ? 113549713200 : @/targetBody1.Name() == "Gilly" ? 16000 : @/targetBody1.SpaceAltitudeThreshold()

then it should work with any planet pack although some of the offered contracts may have maxAltitudes that are too low to be completed if there are bodies similar to Gilly that have surface features that extend above the "in space low" threshold.

Hey guys.. hows it going?
for the past couple of days I have been working thorough the wiki to try and make a contract pack.. I have been failing miserably..

I have 3 config files in a folder in Gamedata/ContractPacks; one to make an agency, one to make a contract_group, and one for an actual mission. All taken from the massively expansive sample files given from the wiki

Today has been a merry chase with the debug console, seeing what throws an exception, go and edit a cfg file, wait 5 mins for kerbal to load as I have to many mods and reload contracts button is broken.. check console find next exception, read wiki, edit.. etc

Right now it is telling me I do not have the agency set up.. I do not know why, can some one please have a look and enlighten me?

 

Edit: The agent problem was a name typo mismatch thing that I found making the pastebins.. but now the contract_group is not loading and not really telling me why?

@Twitchi I was able to get your example contract to work using the following changes (not sure if all are necessary but when in doubt remove spaces:P)

  • Removed spaces from AGENT/name and added a title with the spaces included
  • Removed spaces from CONTRACT_GROUP/name (displayName already had a spaced variant)
  • Update CONTRACT_GROUP/agent with unspaced name
  • Updated CONTRACT_TYPE/agent and CONTRACT_TYPE/group with unspaced names
  • Commented out the empty CONTRACT_TYPE/DATA node.

 

Edit: Oh and when debugging messages looking inside GameData/ContractConfigurator/logs can be helpful.

I think this is a known issue -
There are contracts "stock I believe" that when I accept them, I see them at the space center [after leaving mission control] but when I go to another scene, that contract disappears.  I do have a couple of other contract mods.

Is there something that I need to do, in order to retain that stock contract or?

My apologies for not keeping up.
