Gone Forever

Well, you can rescue a kerbal and then dismiss that kerbal from your program. You would still come out ahead. Interesting idea, you may want to look at KSI, which revamps the hiring process.

I am hoping you can help me with this: In the FixedUpdate code of the DoLander class, I have been having the problem of teleporting and sometimes being teleported below the surface, resulting in an explosion. My example is: Teleport to landing on Eve Latitude: 6.6 Longitude: -48.5 The code: var pqs = Body.pqsController; var alt = pqs.GetSurfaceHeight( QuaternionD.AngleAxis(Longitude, Vector3d.down) * QuaternionD.AngleAxis(Latitude, Vector3d.forward) * Vector3d.right) - pqs.radius; returns an altitude of: 4791.78949197463 and then I'm adding a value to it. If I add enough to the calculated altitude, it does appear properly, and when it lands, it shows that the calculated altitude not correct, but is at 4893. So it appears that the GetSurfaceHeight is not correct. This particular position is on a 30-40 degree slope, but I've seen similar when teleporting to other flatter areas. Any ideas? Thanks

Two things: KCT is going to depreciate it's sim mode in favor of KRASH. Disclaimer, I'm the author of KRASH Both KCT and KRASH work by saving the entire game, and then reverting it. In order for GT to work with these, it is going to have to somehow save data external to the save file. @Overengineer1Contact me if you would like to work on a way to have KRASH store persistent information for you (which will be available after the sim is completed). I have a mechanism in place already which I use internally, will just need to write an API for you to access LGG

@linuxgurugamer any ideas? It isn't Unmanned Contracts. I just loaded both GAP and UnmannedContracts into my test install, and they both loaded without a problem. The grouping in the above log is merely a coincidence @Miravlix What other mods/contract packs do you have loaded?

Done, it was on the ksp-avc site, I updated it. Nope, Not gonna do that :-) All I'm doing is maintaining the patches. I'm not going to be changing anything like that. But the original author is still around, I think he may be working on it after 1.1 comes out.

This has been fixed, new version uploaded Problem was SRBs used a different name for the animation, had to modify the patch appropriately

Thanks for the report. I'll take a look, probably I didn't make the change for the SRBS

Inigma and I discussed this, it will be easier for me to make a change rather than him, so I'll do this in the next day or so LGG

ok. I'll take a look Ok, I'll take a look at unmanned contracts, it should be fairly easy to rename them. I'll do this in the next day or so LGG

@linuxgurugamer any ideas? When are you coming out with your next update?

What is GAP?

Backups are very useful There are several mods which do automated backups. I use S.A.V.E; Automated Screenshots&Saves also does this.

That's very strange, I am happily using a GTX 760 with updated drivers.

Yes, this was taken over a while ago: http://spacedock.info/mod/52/Contract%20Pack:%20Rover%20Missions

Sadly, for some reason, when I was testing, i saw that in all cases, it is now pointing about 50 degrees away from vertical. I've made other changes, but nothing to this code. Just so you know what I'm doing, when a sim is first launched, it first goes to the launchpad (or runway). Then, after physics has stabilized ( and then another cycle through DrawGUI for safety), I call the landed code. If you could get me a compiled copy of what's up in github, I could test it against my code and see whats wrong. Thx

Got me just in time. I'm getting a new update ready, so I'll add it this evening. I'm hoping to release, but need to do this and some documentation since I've added a configuration window and multiple config files.

There is an API for KRASH, take a look at the README4Modders.txt file (should be in the download or available on github). I don't have simple boolean, but you can register a set of functions to be called at various points of the sim. I could easily put in a boolean method you can query to see if a sim is in progress or not, let me know if you'd like that.

I need more information. Launch clamps are supposed to get removed. I need a list of mods, copy of the persistent.sfs, and a copy of the KSP_Data/output_log.txt file. It would be best if you started the game, ran through the mod until you get the error, then exit. Then send me that output_log.txt Also, what version are you running? There was an update last week, to 0.3.1, and this weekend I'll be updating to 0.4. If you could get this to me asap, I'll take a look to see if I can figure it out before I release. LGG

KCT will be depreciating it's sim mode in favor of KRASH. Try installing KRASH and see if the same thing happens with that.

Got the code in place and tested. For KRASH, 95% good. When the teleport is done, the ship is not quite pointing vertical. In all cases (many spots around the planet, tried different planets as well), the ship is slightly off vertical. It is about 5 degrees off.

Great, thanks

Oh, that's great, sounds like exactly what I want when I use HyperEdit. If that code is done, can you send it to me so I can include it in KRASH? Thanks

The author is around, just no need to update right now

Sure. Using the original code I posted: vessel.SetOrbit(orbit); try { Log.Info ("FixedUpdate HoldVesselUnpack"); OrbitPhysicsManager.HoldVesselUnpack(60); } catch (NullReferenceException) { Log.Info("OrbitPhysicsManager.HoldVesselUnpack threw NullReferenceException"); } // rotation code var newUp = FlightGlobals.getUpAxis(); // adjust vessel rotation based on how much the up direction changed var diff = Quaternion.FromToRotation(KRASHShelter.originalUp, newUp); vessel.SetRotation(diff * vessel.transform.rotation); // rotation code Log.Info("originalUp: " + KRASHShelter.originalUp.ToString()); Log.Info ("newUp: " + newUp.ToString ()); Log.Info ("diff: " + diff.ToString ()); Latitude: 0 Longitude: 0 After teleport: about 7 degrees from horizontal, nose up Latitude: 0 Longitude: 30 After Teleport: 25 degrees from horizontal, nose down Latitude 0 Longitude: 60 After teleport: 55 degrees from horizontal, nose down And I also tried at KSP itself: Latitude: -0.1 Longitude: -74.56 After teleport: 85 degrees from horizontal, nose up So it looks like it isn't doing anything, from what I can tell, the craft is always pointing in the same direction.
