Sure, that would be great. Send me a zip with the files

Adoption thread is here, please move all discussion to it:

I know, but it's a good picture, and I'm not about to remake it. If you can, then let me know and I can replace it

Ok, new thread is ready. Please move all discussion of the updated CactEye Optics mod to the new thread here:

I’ll check that out, I wasn’t aware of it. on another note, I’ve finished the SCANsat integrations, and will hopefully be able to release a beta tonite, either during or after my live coding stream.

New release, 1.10.1.4 Removed even more log spam

New release, 0.1.0.1 Removed log spam

New release, 1.10.1.3 Replaced internal log class with KSP_Log. Resulted in large reduction in log spam Deleted Log.cs New dependency: SpacetuxLibrary

So you bought it in 2017. At that time you exchanged somewhere between 30 and 60 pounds and received a license in return. A fair trade. Then, in 2020, you again bought another license. one could question why you had to buy another, since if you bought it on Steam you just have to reinstall, as nd if you bought it off of the website you could just download it again. Forgetting the reason why. When you sent them money in 2020, you received ANOTHER license. Agsin, a fair trade. Given these facts, you haven't "given" Take-2 anything, you participated in an exchange of valuables, money from you and a license from Take-2

You aren't clear. First, you didn't "give" money to Take-2, you exchanged money for specified merchandise; either physical goods, a license or both. Second, who's argument are you referring to?

That makes you a customer, not a contributor. And you have already received what you paid for.

After playing with the parts for a bit, I've decided to NOT add the SCANsat science to CactEye, you can just surface-attach them to the service bay. I am working on adding the CactEye Optics to the three telescopes in SCANsat For the SpaceDust mod, I'm going to add the CactEyeOptics to the SpaceDust telescope. This way you can use the telescope's own sensors as well as the telescope itself, it's a pretty nice looking telescope, about midway between the FungEye & CactEye in size

Do you have Waypoint Manager installed?

The TextAnalysisTool is a great recommendation!! Everything else is also spot on

Reserved for future use

One more change needed for CKAN: Remove the spaces from the NAME: field Edit: Need to ask @HebaruSan if that's needed

Hi, I am very close to releasing a beta, have started working on the replacement thread. For now, I am looking for input on the following questions: The SCANsat & SpaceDust integration. I have patches which integrate those mods' functionality into the CactEye & FungEye telescopes, but I'm having second thoughts. Integrating using patches essentially negates what I feel is the greatest thing about this mod, the ability & need to go up and service the scopes, including replacing modules. So what I'm leaning towards instead is something like the following: No standard patches as listed above, I will include them as optional Disable surface attachment on the telescopes & bodies Add specific attachment nodes on the bodies for other scientific instruments to be attached. Possibly (slim) have the body model altered to add mounting points for instruments Comments? Please reply, your input is important for the future of this mod.

CactEye is a plugin and set of parts that allow for modular orbital telescopes. CactEye telescopes feature a fully-functional science system, and are upgradeable/serviceable (primarily through Kerbal Attachment System). Orbital telescopes also now become fundamental to discovering asteroids. Parts CactEye Optical System (left) The main part of the telescope; optical systems are the actual telescope part of the telescope. This optics system comes with an aperture door to protect it from the sun's damaging rays. FungEye Optical System (right) A 1.25m variant optical system which is cheaper, lighter, and less bulky. Of course, this part is much more limited - it only has a single-use aperture (once the aperture is opened, it stays open), and can only gather 10% of any possible science gain. Wide Field Camera Processor Processors take the raw data from the optics system, do some wizardry™, and allow that data to be transmitted back home for scientific analysis. The Wide Field Camera is the most basic processor, and its use is simple. Just point the telescope at a celestial body, zoom in close enough, and snap a picture! Asteroid Camera Processor This processor will allow for scientific experiments to be done upon discovered asteroids based on their size classification. If a telescope is left with this processor running, it will increase the rate at which near-Kerbin asteroids are found. This mod will change the default asteroid discovery rate from 1/2 or 1/3 to 1/100 chance to discover an asteroid. Telescopes with these processors will improve the odds of discovery an asteroid. Occultation Camera Processor This is the most advanced processor, and it is only available in the third and final generation of processors. This processor will continually compute random dates to observe a specific target. Observing the target at the specified date will allow for large science gains. It is very important to upkeep maintenance on your telescope for this processor. Processor Mount Easily mount a processor anywhere! Surface attachable. Make sure to turn off angle snap if placing inside the cargo bay. Also, note that FungEye has its own internal mount (pictured right), so a new processor mount is unnecessary. Service Bay (not pictured) You need a place to put all this stuff! Also allows all your modules and whatnot to be accessible on later servicing missions. Gyroscope and Reaction-Wheel Unit (GRU) These are more advanced reaction wheel modules that allow for their torque to be reduced to make very fine adjustments. These deteriorate over time, so you'll need to replace or repair these periodically. Solar Panel Array This panel array features roll-out mechanics, like Hubble's first couple of arrays. It's rated at 8 e/s of charge. Servicing Ladder (not pictured) Goes nicely in the service bay. Smobodobodyne SLIM Probe Core A slim variant of the stock cubic probe core. It is radially mountable anywhere, but it does not feature any kind of reaction wheel. WARNING! Never point telescope directly at sun! Pictured: FungEye telescope fitted inside a Kerbin Shuttle Orbiter cargo bay. COMPATIBILITY Updated for KSP 1.8.x, 1.9.x, 1.10.x Research Bodies SCANsat SpaceDust RECOMMENDED MODS None of these are required, however. The mod works on its own with no dependencies. CactEye Contracts require Contract Configurator by @nightingale Kerbal Attachment System by IgorZ, with models by Winn75 and zzz This plugin allows for Kerbals on EVA to swap out and install new parts on the telescope. Kerbal Alarm Clock by TriggerAu This plugin is incredibly helpful to use with the Occultation experiments.

Remember that KSP wasn't built to measure the rotation of a vessel this precisely. Planets can get some weird clipping artifacts, and their lighting is incorrect. Remember that KSP wasn't really built to see planets from so far away. Solar panels occasionally block themselves -- just rotate the telescope a bit further so that they can find the sun

How about provinding a complete Player.log file for analysis? Also, are you running it from Steam or a standalone install?

Also, the Player.log is extremely useful

Please provide the Player.log, also a list of mods installed.
