KSP2 Release Notes
Everything posted by madlemur

I spent some time working on these, so I thought I'd share. KSP Serial IO Debug Tool - A fork of the original tool, but updated for the current version. Source only. May extend to properly send/receive SAS Mode, but I just wanted something that didn't require restarting KSP all the time... KSP Controller Arduino Code - Modified to use 74LS595 Shift registers to handle I/O (yes, I know there are better input solutions, but it's what I have). WIP, need to add stage and abort locking logic as well as LCD support. Edit: I ended up turning off the CRC check to avoid connection issues.

Oddly, the Kerbal words for "land" and "crash" are distinguished solely by the amount of panic evidenced in the voice of the speaker...
-
No, not mine. This is the beginnings of my hardware controller. I've had an Arduino for some time, but I just recently ordered various switches and displays for building it up. So far, I have the core indicators: master alert (bi-color led), SAS, RCS, Brakes, Gear, Lights, Abort, and connection (the sole green led), and an LCD display I'm trying to get to display Ap and Pe. Waiting on some push buttons (haven't hooked up any toggles yet), and shift registers to work on a full annunciator. From my local blog: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/blogs/119785-madlemur Still working on the Ap/Pe display. I can get the correct Ap on the launchpad, and for a few thousand m after liftoff, but at some point, it begins wrapping around to negative numbers, and the Pe is never right. I'm assuming it's a float to string conversion issue, but I haven't had enough iterative cycles to nail it down; spent most of them getting all the leds to light correctly.

You know what would be fun? Integration with MovieTime to take enhanced screenshots...

Looking for Mod to unlock action groups in career mode.
madlemur replied to tempsgk's topic in KSP1 Mods Discussions
Wild guess: use Diazo's Actions Everywhere? -
In Linux, ALT + F11 can be accessed via R-Shift + F11. I've not had any problems running KSP in Linux (I actually run KSP_64 "by hand", because... well, I'm too lazy to fix the Launch KSP setting in CKAN). Do the mods load when you launch via CKAN? If so, what's the command CKAN is running? Is CKAN pointing to the same install of KSP that you're running by hand?

The Linux Thread!
madlemur replied to sal_vager's topic in KSP1 Technical Support (PC, unmodded installs)
Sorry, got sidetracked with RL... Also realized I'd posted in the wrong forum. My install is modded to Khell and back... Basically trimmed down the mods I was using, and added them back slowly until I had a combination of the mods I really want without the lag generation. -
The Linux Thread!
madlemur replied to sal_vager's topic in KSP1 Technical Support (PC, unmodded installs)
Running Steam KSP (from command line, not via Steam) on lubuntu 14.?? (on my phone ATM) on an i7 laptop (Intel gfx). When I'm in flight, the fps drops to 1 or lower when I press a key. After I release the key, the system picks back up. -
[1.3] kOS Scriptable Autopilot System v1.1.3.0
madlemur replied to erendrake's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Here's a thought (that might require some experimentation): Create kOS probes that have no tech requirements. Have contracts be to test them. If there's no tech requirements, they never get unlocked for career game use, but you should still be able to force them into availability for the contract. "Test our highly experimental Self-Piloting, Autonomous, Zaftig Zan (SPAZZ) by programming and executing a mission from the KSC to ______ with the following conditions: ..." Bonus points if you can "break" the probe part modules to prevent communications/control of the core. Also, max crew size of 0. -
Actually, since the mod is available via Github and/or KerbalStuff, I'd suggest you put in a pull request (or an issue for someone else to do it) for a NetKAN entry. That way, the CKAN meta data will be automagically updated when you update your mod. Otherwise, you'll have to submit new CKAN files every time you make a new release.
-
Well, yeah. That's because Better Atmospheres is a graphics and configuration set that uses a combination of EVE, Texture Replacer, Custom Asteroids and Kittopia Terraforming. And if you use all the bits and bobs, it'll melt your GPU (unless you have a very beefy GPU)...
-
I run on a Linux laptop with an Intel GPU. Therefore, I gave up on EVE and even HotRockets a while ago; I need more than 5FPS. OK, I haven't tried EVE and other prettifying mods since 0.90 came out, but I find I'm doing quite well with just Texture Replacer's updated galaxy image. Someday, I'll get a desktop with a more state-of-the-art GPU, and then I'll crank up the eye-squee to 11...
-
Ohh! Purty! Any chance you might put it on KerbalStuff, then on CKAN?
-
I can't play pure stock any more. At the minimum, I suggest FAR for intuitive aerodynamics, Deadly Reentry to make the pretty reentry graphics meaningful, and Real Chutes to round out the set. You'll probably want Kerbal Joint Reinforcement too, to help prevent unfortunate accidents on the launchpad and elsewhere. On general principles, I usually install anything RoverDude makes (USI suite, Karbonite, Regolith), Procedural Fairings (a must have with FAR), Docking alignment by Navyfish, and Kerbal Engineer (mostly to see the delta-V stats). For performance reasons, I also run ATM and Texture Replacer (OK, I really run TR to vary my Kerbals and get a much nicer galaxy background). For ease of managing all this, I also use CKAN to install and update mods. I believe the only non-CKAN mods I'm using right now are the LackLusterLabs mods...
-
I'd also suggest using CKAN (the thread is in the Tools and Accessories forum).
-
Real Chutes. Deadly Reentry. SCANSat. Pretty much anything from RoverDude (I've been having a blast with his sounding rockets). Forgot the reason for the reply! Procedural Fairings.
-
Not only do they put out really high quality stuff, they are generous with their knowledge and help folks who are trying to make their own mods. Rock stars, all around! Now, I just need to find a Kerbal Kiss image. Jeb as Space Ace, Bill as Starchild, Bob as the Demon, and drag Werner out to be Catman. I suppose you could get Gene and some other Kerbal to be the Fox and the Ankh Warrior, if you want to be a nit-picky completionist...

MY EYES! THEY BUUUUU-UUUURN!!!!

parts [1.12.x] Sounding Rockets! Start small. Dream big!
madlemur replied to RoverDude's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
So... Can we get a stick for a launch clamp? Makes me misty-eyed for the time I spent with the Estes company products...
