[DEV THREAD] REPOSoftTech - AmpYear Power Manager, Reserve Power , Ion RCS v0.18 23rd June 2015

MaverickSawyer · June 18, 2015

Hmmm, worked good in test. Must be a mod conflict.
Is that all the mods you have installed? Can I ask you to supply a log file? even better, go into AmpYear menu in the spacecenter and turn on debugging, reproduce your vessel, error and then post a log? That would expedite debugging.

It's quite a list of mods, so I'll go do the debugging run first and report back.

EDIT: Huh. I am getting xenon and electrical flow from them... just no plume or sound. *shrugs* Oh, well. No worries, then.

It's got to be a mod conflict. So they are now working but no sounds or plume?

MaverickSawyer · June 19, 2015

Correct. Probably an issue with RCSSounds, then.

I am getting xenon and electrical flow from them... just no plume or sound.

Same issue here, no ModuleRCSFX even, and ofc no RCSSounds. I play without sound, and I see the plume only when translating forward. ModuleManager.cache entry looks like this:

        description = REPOSoft Technology engineers have now produced these small ION thrusters, to help with attitude control and linear motion. Even though many Kerbal physicists still dispute that ION thrusters can be used in this way, studies show that the thrusters seem to work as advertised.

            }
            PROPELLANT {
                name = ElectricCharge
                resourceName = ElectricCharge
                ratio = 0.5
                resourceFlowMode = ALL_VESSEL
            }
            atmosphereCurve {
                key = 0 1800
                key = 1 600
            }
        }
        MODULE {
            name = BBModule
        }
        MODULE {
            name = ModuleAGX
        }
        MODULE {
            name = GeometryPartModule
        }
        MODULE {
            name = FARAeroPartModule
        }
        MODULE {
            name = FARPartModule
        }
        MODULE {
            name = ModuleFuelCrossfeedActions
        }
    }
}

No relevant errors in log AFAICS. It still eats Xenon, but thrust is applied only forward (orbit doesn't change when I press NJKLi keys oriented nrm+-. rad+- etc, but changes when I press H)

p.s. and yes I need those 45 degree angled 4-way ones :-D Also, converting existing 4-way one to 5-way (adding 1 nozzle) would be good too - then all the maneuvers could be accomplished with only a pair of such thrusters, not four of them.

I'll look into the thrusters issue over the weekend.

JPLRepo · June 23, 2015

V0.18 published to support KSP 1.0.3.

I am still looking into the 4-way thrusters issue that has been reported.

I can't seem to find any issue with the 4 way ION RCS.

It works fine for me in testing.

Both sets of controls work fine.

If you are still having issues I will need a full log.

How does one properly remove the AmpYear mod? I'm running 0.13a with x64 KSP 0.90 on Linux, and just deleting any craft that use AmpYear parts and then deleting the folder doesn't work - the next time I load the game up, I am unable to select any craft from the space center: the list of ships still appears, but clicking on one does not select that ship or activate the buttons for interacting with it. I'm running a lot of mods, but I am able to reliably reproduce this issue by deleting the REPOSoft folder in GameData, and I am also able to reliably fix it by restoring the REPOSoft folder.

This section from the KSP.log suggests that, even when I have removed the AmpYear mod, the game is still trying to find it when I open the Space Center and select a ship, and its failure to find it is leading to an error condition. How do I remove the game's expectation that AmpYear will be there?

Did you remove the Gamedata\REPOSoftTech\KabinKraziness folder as well?

I had the same issue start happening with me over the weekend whilst I was playing. I'll investigate further in the coming week.

Version 1.0.0 has been published on the new RELEASE THREAD. With fixes to the new ION RCS Block and I added a 4-way 45 degrees ION RCS Block.

This will now be my dev thread for this mod.

Voodoo8648 · May 1, 2016

I just downloaded the latest version of ampyear for 1.1, but I can't get the GUI to work while flying. The setting UI works in the space center, but not while flying. I have never used ampyear before so I have never used it and this is my first time.

JPLRepo · May 1, 2016

This is the old dev thread. I have submitted a request to have this thread locked.
Please post in the release thread.

Frybert · May 1, 2016

Locked at OP request.
