[1.10.1+] Contract Configurator [v1.30.5] [2020-10-05]

Recommended Posts

@nightingale I also ran into a critical issue with docking ports, where they introduce a huge phantom torque after docking. Left KSP for quite a while because I couldn't pinpoint the problematic mod, not being able to dock is not fun. Decided to run the game again and devoted 4 hours to juggling and testing. Turns out all versions of CC for KSP 1.1.2 have this problem (tested with only MM and CC present). Strange that more people don't report this.

I can genereate plenty of logs, pics and vids on request.

I'm looking into some issues with my rover contracts.  This is the first time I'm looking at it since the 1.1 release.  In 1.0.5, they worked fine, but in 1.1.2, I see the following error:


ContractConfigurator.Behaviour.WaypointGeneratorFactory: CONTRACT_TYPE 'RoverExplore', BEHAVIOUR '@/a1' of type 'WaypointGenerator: A validation error occured while loading the key 'maxDistance' with value '3000'.

This happened after a first mission, didn't see it again.

I am attempting to do something that is most likely, the wrong way to do it or I just shouldn't do it.  Anyway, I got this error and was curious if someone can help me attempt to fix it?

Exception occured while loading contract parameter 'SCANsatCoverage' in contract 'unknown':
System.ArgumentException: Missing required value 'targetBody'.

  at ContractConfigurator.Parameters.ContractConfiguratorParameter.OnLoad (.ConfigNode node) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 

 

What am I doing?  I am attempting to take a modded career and use it in SSRSS [Stock Sized RSS]  - I have all the same mods, but yes - the planets are different, all flights are gone, just attempting to preserve the contract progress.
 

Thanks

Another issue I'm having:

The RoverDeploy contract, which is loaded correctly, never gets presented.

This is a career game, everything is unlocked (via alt-F12), the only requirement is Antenna & Wheel unlocked.

I don't see anything wrong.  I used the StockNoContracts to disable all stock contracts

any ideas?

Sure, can you log a GitHub issue and link the logs/pics there?

I vaguely remember making some changes that affected the validations here.  Do you mind raising a GitHub issue (and ideally including a partial snippet of the contract config or link if it's in GitHub).

In this case the change from Kerbin to RSS is likely the cause.  I'd go in and find all the SCANsatCoverage parameters in completed contracts in the save file and just remove them entirely.

Could be related to #510.  Turn debug logging on for Contract Configurator and you should see attempts to generate contracts and why they failed (make sure to do the clear contracts debug to give it a change to generate a couple times).  Also, disabling all stock contracts can cause the contract generation system to give up entirely if it doesn't have any contracts to generate at all.

Bare with me on this, I am assuming the persistent file?

Hi, I just got an error from Contract configurator

It was after hitting recover on a submarine contract that I think came from tourism plus.

I hit ignore and the contract has been completed and I haven't noticed any ill effects yet

 I did that, and boy did it slow down :-)

I enabled the partTest, and got 20-30 part test contracts, so disabled that  and enabled the GrandTour, then I got nothing, the CC messages are below. 
 

[VERBOSE] ContractConfigurator.ContractPreLoader:    Not going to generate a contract...
[VERBOSE] ContractConfigurator.ConfiguredContract: MeetRequirements()
[VERBOSE] ContractConfigurator.ContractPreLoader: Request to generate contract of prestige level Exceptional

 

Details:  I first did 2 or three missions to get past the initial contracts, including getting to space, orbiting, data, etc.  I didn't see any contracts, so I then used the cheat to enable all parts.  Still nothing, I turned on the debug and got the above messages.  Sometime after doing all the testing, the 4 contracts I had completed disappeared from the archives.  In order to get some contracts from stock, I enabled the WorldFirst contracts, so I got those, but never any from CC

Edit:  I went back and looked at the file, and I did see other request to generate Trivial and Significant contracts.  here is a link to the log file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ip6ovangy2j6htv/rovertest_output_log.txt?dl=0

Is it possible you just don't have enough rep yet to get exceptional contracts?

Ummm, rep = 1000.  This was a test, so I set it to very easy.  Also, the RoverDeploy contracts don't require exceptional, they will do all

May still be on to something. Try setting it to 950 or something, in a stock game you can't hit 1000 can you?

Aye. IIRC 999 might be the maximum, and 1000 might actually be part of the problem.

Could you raise it on GitHub for me?

I guess this is the right place to ask.

Did anything ever come of that Astronaut training contract pack that someone was working on (I forget who). I'd be interested in giving it a go.

Trying to remember who was looking at it, but drawing a blank.  I'm fairly certain that you wouldn't be stepping on any toes if you ran with the idea (and I don't think anyone got all that far anyway).

I am trying to create a contract pack, but I ran into a little problem... My satellite contract will have a specific orbit assigned to it, but I cannot figure out what each symbol means. I need to know what and how to get the following parameters,

- SMA (Semi-major Axis?)

- ECC (Eccentricity)

- INC (Inclination)

- LPE (?)

- LAN (Longitude of Ascending Node?)

- MNA (Mean Anomaly?)

- EPH (?)

- REF (Reference Body)

Each one that has a question mark is one that I want to know, but I would also thank if the rest is also checked.

Thanks in advance,

I am curious if this is possible with Contract Configurator. 

Would it be possible to create a contract that would require a specific science instrument (or group of instruments) to be placed within a specified biome and require periodic data collection from the instrument over an extended time frame? 

Not sure if that came out understandably, so an example might be helpful:

Contract requires a goo-pod be landed in Kerbin's Deserts biome. Contract then requires a total of 12 science reports with a minimum of one month between them. Data must be collected and stored (or returned to KSC) and the experiment reset with each report (so the data cannot just be transmitted, a kerbal must physically collect the data and restore the pod). Once all 12 reports have been returned to KSC, the contract is complete. 

The reason for this is to fulfill an idea I had for extended duration science gathering, to make ground bases useful for more than just resource development. Since I have no idea how to create a plugin to modify how science is generated, I thought maybe I could do something similar with contracts instead.

LPE = Longitude of the periapsis
EPH = Epoch - basically a timestamp reference

That being said - you don't need to understand the orbits.  The easiest thing to do is just put a ship in the orbit you want (via hyperedit works), and then copy the orbit information from the persistence file.

It's doable, but would look a bit ugly.  You'd need to do a CollectScience, followed by a Duration to wait, followed by a CollectScience, etc.  You'd need to do a completeInSequence=true for all of them so that it all has to be done in order.

Alright, I'm back from travelling, and slowly working through the backlog of issues that have built up.  For the docking issue reported by @Lennartos, @Enceos, @Galenmacil and @tomf, I need some help verifying the fix.  I'll need someone to grab the dev dll here and let me know if it fixes the issue.

If it does not fix the issue, then I'll need some verbose logging.  To do that, put the following in GameData/ContractConfigurator/ContractConfigurator.cfg:

CC_DEBUGGING
{
	// Possible LogLevel: VERBOSE, DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR
	logLevel = DEBUG
	
	ADD_LOGLEVEL_EXCEPTION
	{
		// Type name
		type = ContractVesselTracker
		// Possible LogLevel: VERBOSE, DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR
		logLevel = VERBOSE
	}
}

Then reproduce the issue and submit a KSP.log.

hey there nightingale...not sure if its this mod or waypoint manager..but I have several survey contracts from the DMagic survey group that the waypoint doesnt get removed once completed. It doesn't happen consistently with every contract...just a few I have in game right now . There is no error in the debug screen in game.

 

....After a game restart the ghost waypoints had gone. not sure what the issue was ...maybe the kraken

I'd need to see a log.  Also, what contracts are those?  DMagic has a lot of stuff that doesn't use Contract Configurator, so please be specific.

EDIT: Actually, more than likely this is the same issue as reported in #519.

@brainy - I had a look at your issue, and it's most likely due to a part mod that hasn't been updated to 1.1.x.  What happens is that the part fails to load and leaves an invalid entry in the list that messed up other mods.

I'd need to see a full log to be able to investigate further.

Hi,

I am having a bit of a contract problem that I think might be linked to CC. It is with the 'First Space Station' contract. I have built a station, launched it and got it into orbit empty, then launched a crew, who spent 30 days there. I then undocked their capsule and brought them home safe. Problem is, these last parts don't seem to register, and the contract won't complete, despite all the mission objectives having been met. Any help would be appreciated! If more info is needed, I am happy to provide it, if you tell me what you need. Thanks!

Edit: here is a screenshot of the mission objectives. They should all in fact be complete, as I have fulfilled all of them: http://imgur.com/RF9onEJ
