Here's a couple of screenshots to show what I mean:
This is what the output of "print tanklist" looks like when the bug hasn't been triggered, you can see it lists each item in the list, just by issuing "print tanklist"

Now this screenshot is after the bug has been triggered, you can see that it no longer lists each individual items via "print tanklist" and I have to setup a for loop to print them.

Hmm, I've noticed a very strange bug, the symptoms are that "print somelist" only prints "LIST of X ITEMS" rather than each individual item in the list. This then screws up my autostager in very strange ways, as it relies on lists of fuel tanks/SRBs. As far as I can tell the lists are being created properly, just that somelist:REMOVE(x) randomly stops working.
I'm not sure what seems to trigger it, apart from maybe reverting to launch (which I do often). When it happens the only thing I can do is to close KSP completely and restart it, going back to the main menu and reloading a save doesn't seem to fix it. I'll try and figure out what seems to be causing it.
But anyway, here's another quick question. How can I display the same figure as orbital speed in the navball? I've tried this:
print +SHIP:VELOCITY:ORBIT but obviously it's a vector whereas I'd like to show m/s.
-
Is there a way for kOS to find out what biome the ship is in?
EDIT: Ah ok, it looks like there is a branch that has it, but it's been forgotten about:
https://github.com/erendrake/KOS/commit/b56c43ae6acb57d1e21460b4d73a953266dbbce5
EDIT2:
If anyone is struggling to find a list of parts and partmodules a ship has, I wrote a handy script here:
-
Thanks, although I found an interesting bug, where if you use ENG:SHUTDOWN on an engine that's running, the visual effects still run even though the engine isn't putting out any thrust.
EDIT: Reworked my asparagus stager so it uses a lot less CPU so it'll work (with smallish ships) with 150 IPU
-
Quick question, how do I set my throttle so it stays there after my program finishes? Right now my autolaunch program switches back to half throttle after it's finished :\
EDIT: I came up with a hacky way to do it, which was to shutdown all engines.
Oh and for what it's worth, this is what I came up with for an autostager that'll work with SRB/asparagus staging. It's a little CPU intensive though
-
it is not that hard to create a workaround for CONTAINS
If you know how the syntax works and have an example to work from sure it's a lot easier. Thanks.
-
Use FOR loop to look through PART:RESOURCES
But how? I tried using CONTAINS and I got a syntax error. The closest I've got so far is to check whether the part has more than one resource:
SET tanklist to LIST().
for i in SHIP:PARTS
{
if i:RESOURCES:length > 1
{
tanklist:ADD (i).
}
}
-
I know how to use FOR, it's just I don't know what the syntax is to check if a part contains a liquidfuel resource.
-
Ok, so I've managed to figure out a way to check for resources in a partslist that's made up of fuel tanks:
SET tanklist to SHIP:PARTSDUBBED("fueltank").
for t in tanklist {if t:resources[0]:AMOUNT < 0.01 {STAGE.}}
What I'd like to do now is to build a parts list containing all the fuel tanks by seeing if they have a LIQUIDFUEL resource, rather than finding them by a part name:
for i in SHIP:PARTS {
if i:RESOURCES:CONTAINS ("LIQUIDFUEL") {
tanklist:ADD (t).
}
}
But again I'm running into syntax problems. Could someone post a way to build a list of all parts that contain liquidfuel as a resource?
-
The example I provided works with asparagus staging design
How? From what I see it only stages when an engine flames out, not when a tank is emptied, which is what I'm trying to do.
-
list tanks in tanklist. for t in tanklist {if t:liquidfuel < 0.01 {stage.}}.
Ah this was the sort of thing I was looking for, just couldn't get my head around it. Thanks. The 'standard' WHEN STAGE:LIQUIDFUEL < 0.001 only seems to work for very simple fuel setups.
I'm still having trouble building a tanklist that contains a list of fuel tanks. I've tried this:
set TANKLIST to SHIP:MODULESNAMED("fueltank")
But it doesn't seem to match anything.
So now I've got something like this:
SET tanklist to SHIP:PARTSDUBBED("fueltank").
for t in tanklist {
if t:RESOURCES:LIQUIDFUEL:AMOUNT < 0.01 {
STAGE.
}
}
But apparently t:RESOURCES:LIQUIDFUEL:AMOUNT is wrong. How do I get the amount of liquid fuel left in a part?
-
Can anyone recommend a way to do the following:
If any liquid fuel tank is empty, stage.
-
+1 on adding a plane icon to the existing ones, no need to get it more complicated with tags/subclasses.
-
Another smallish issue, it seems no matter how close I get to the marker, the Bop contract never completes. Screenie from a weird angle so it doesn't give it away to anyone who hasn't seen it yet;
-
Well, Max playing is pretty much just filler to give the audience some time to ask questions
That's a fair comment and makes sense, although it really did feel like a NerdCubed/Pewdiepie Lets Play. How can the guy who's in charge of it all be so terrible at the game?
-
Well, I just watched my first squadcast (well, recorded). Two things struck me;
1. Does Maxmaps make stupid ships on purpose?
2. Shouldn't the squadcast be for demonstrating new features, rather than 50 minutes of someone playing KSP not very well, followed by 2 minutes of new features?
Also, why they don't publish the recorded stream to their Youtube channel is a bit beyond me.
-
I would welcome contracts to explore easter eggs/anomalies
Like everything, there's a mod for that;
I've been playing through it after completing/visiting all the other planets, it's good fun!
-
Was he in the grabber when you tried pressing the [ and ] keys?
-
Make sure the navball is visible
It's a known bug that you can't change any of the filters in map view if the nav ball is hidden.
-
You can use the [ and ] keys to switch between vessels/kerbals when they are within 2.3km.
-
I've noticed a small 'problem' (not really a bug). The waypoint marker for Rock Arch #2 in the Mun is about 450m away from the actual arch itself, it would be nice if it were a bit closer so I don't have to EVA my kerbals all the way over there after landing at the arch.
Other than that, top work! I'd finished visiting all planets/moons so this gave me something to do whilst I'm waiting for v1.0. Thanks!
-
So, new aero model, mining resources and female kerbals?
Thumbs up! Keep up the good work!

Here's a more officialish entry...
Doesn't the craft have to survive intact?
