  1. Sure and I bet you could speak before you were born.
  2. So I accepted a contract to complete a creature comfort mission from the station science mod on ksp 1.0.5. When I finalized the results the experiment reset within seconds and thus not completing the ' complete in orbit' sub contract. I'm using ksp 1.0.5 and have no other major mods next to station science installed
  3. I accepted a mission to safe Jebsel Kerman and decided to first accomplish a rendezvous with his craft. When Valentina was in the Venus 9 and accomplished a rendezvous with Jebsel's stranded craft Jebsel reported that he only had 2 hours of oxygen and 2 hours of electricity left until the last backups would be depleted. you can view the rescue mission with pictures here: [url]http://imgur.com/a/C6AAJ[/url]

  5. I'll PM you my email, though I was not planning to store all the images but was more going to rely on pseudo random generators so the generator will always give the same results (as I understand).
  6. [quote name='wumpus']Depends. Do you mean they decode the image for you or you simply feed the random number generator to your image browser. If the later, you could claim they already have a movie version as well. We had a movie version in the twentieth century. We called it "static" and sometimes saw it on TV. You might still hear the audio parts sometime.[/QUOTE] Very interesting, though the movie/static version would be infinitly bigger than the picture version since every frame will be different (or the same if you're lucky) and say you have 60 frames per second and a 10 second movie you'd have 600 pictures which would all be random.
  7. [quote name='K^2']You do realize that people who have made that site have already made an image version of it, right?[/QUOTE] Though making your own is the challenge...
  8. [quote name='ZetaX']In principle you only need one thing: an invertible hash function. Then you use that function and interpret the output as a bitmap. One such function is to just take the index of the string in a lexicon, ordered lexicographically. Or easier to implement: interpret it as a Base36, Base64 or whatever_such_thing number and use that. Cryptography will give you many more that are not easily reverted. But in reality this will lead to all pictures being very very boring (emptyness and/or noise). Such as the pages from your link: purely random gibberish.[/QUOTE] Thanks that looks very interesting (and helpful) though I'll need to look up what all those terms mean (okay, I looked the terms up but still don't really get all those terms, I would appriciate it if you could explain them a bit less technical since I know basicly nothing about computer science) . About the second part: I do understand that there will be a lot of noise but if you were to find a "real" image (what would define a real image? Something that looks like an easily recognizable object or just a general shape? I guess you could say the noise is just as real as an image of a nice vase since they were both generated and that there was no specific intention of making 'that' image) then it would feel like you've found a treasure. But yes noise is also part of the I guess you could call it an artwork.
  9. Hello there! A while a go a friend and I started a project in which we had the idea to make every combination of pixels so it would form one mega picture. This sounds very vague and impossible perhaps but something similar happened to [URL]https://libraryofbabel.info/[/URL] "[I]The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite, perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries…The arrangement of the galleries is always the same: Twenty bookshelves, five to each side, line four of the hexagon's six sides…each bookshelf holds thirty-two books identical in format; each book contains four hundred ten pages; each page, forty lines; each line, approximately eighty black letters."[/I] With this lay out there are an near infinite (or so it seems) amount of possible sentences. I had a similar idea: Replace letters with pixels and pages/books with images. Now since I know there will be a lot of problems and challenges to face I thought it would be good to start off small: [SIZE=4][B][I] Goals:[/I][/B][/SIZE] [U]Colours and basic scale [/U] Computer generate all combinations with: 10x10 pixels with 2 colours: black and white [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/66/Bilevel_1bit_palette.png[/IMG] 50x50 pixels with 2 colours: black and white 10x10 pixels with 4 colours: black, dark grey, light grey and white [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/35/Grayscale_2bit_palette.png[/IMG] 50x50 pixels with 4 colours: black, dark grey, light grey and white 10x10 pixels with 8 colours: black, blue, green, cyan, red, pink, yellow and white [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ed/RGB_3bits_palette.png[/IMG] 50x50 pixels with 8 colours: black, blue, green, cyan, red, pink, yellow and white [SIZE=3]Ultimate colour/size goal: 24 bit, 250x250 pixels [/SIZE] [U] Search and generation [/U] Using an algorithm to generate pixels, must be reversible so you can search from 'shelve' to 'page of a book' and the other way around of course. Make a program that generates pixels in the above algorithm Maybe use and (X, Y) coordination system(?): [LIST] [*]each pixel is a point [*]each image is a point [*]each section is a point [/LIST] Make a 'super picture' one big picture with all the pictures in it. The super picture and sub pictures could count as separate pictures[IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/28v7nkh.jpg[/IMG] though this would take a lot of clicking if your picture is in the 5000th layer, perhaps making layers of 100 tiles (instead of the above 4 tiles on a layer) [SIZE=3]Ultimate search and algorithm goal: Easy to use search engine and reversible algorithm (which yields the same results every time)[/SIZE] [U] Finishing [/U] Making the actual site (easier said than done) [SIZE=3]Ultimate Finalizing goal: Making a slick looking site which functions well [B][SIZE=4] Ultimate Main goal: Making a site which is able to generate every image and will yield the same result every time, and an easy to use user interface.[/SIZE][/B][/SIZE] All tips and criticism is welcome (as long as you tell what is right or wrong, not just 'bad idea')
  10. Thanks for sharing that. Nice to see that KSP can mean so much to people.
  11. So I just completed some early rescue missions in career mode and when I used the warp to next morning button every building became fully upgraded. Is this a common glitch or not? Update: When I loaded the save file everything was back to normal. Maybe it was a vision of Jeb what my grand space program would look like in the future...
  12. Strange, I have the nereid folder in my gamedata folder but the toolbar doesn't show up. All other mods work fine though.
  13. When I do that there's a toolbar which asks you which icon to display (not the final frontier mod though.) I'll post a picture soon. - - - Updated - - - When you scroll down on the right window you will get to see more options of mechjeb.
  14. 'these mods are incompatible with ksp 1.0.4 aaa_toolbar'
  15. I was looking at a mod list and I noticed 'Final frontier' which gives ribbons to the first kerbal in space, first kerbal to land on the mun and way more. But it is now outdated, does anyone know a similar mod?
  16. Seems like coordination would work, though now we still need a way to manually find it like by clicking and such.
  17. Hmmm how about using coordination like (2958214, 4738582938) perhaps each picture could be one x and one y. This would be easier to look for pictures if you know where to look at least... knowing where to look would be the challenge for navigation. Or split every section up in 100(0) pieces instead of 4 (still a lot of layers needed but less than 4.)
  18. I was planning to put all the possible pictures next to each other so they form a square and that square is divived in 4 invisible square which you can click on to render the pictures, then there are again 4 squares and so on. About searching, we where planning to have a box where you can add your picture and it could compare it to all the pictures (surely theres a faster way but this is just an idea) and then it could tell its location (1,2,1,4,3,2,1,4,3,2,1,3,4,3,1,2) now that is far from being zoomed in all the way but all the small pictures could make a bigger picture (maybe). ill make a sketch soon. Also this is an 'honors' project so we can take 2 years and ask people who know a lot about algorithms and some good coders. - - - Updated - - - this is how you'd browse it: 4 invisible sections, each section has 4 section which has 4 sections etc etc. @YNM if you have a good algorithm each time the outcome will be the same so you'll only have to render 2 layers beneath the current layer to make it look smooth. All tips are welcome.
  19. So a friend and I have seen a video from vsauce where he explains something about a website called "library of babel" where every possible combination of letters, periods and commas are used within 3200 characters. Now we thought, what if we could do the same with pictures, instead of letters uses pixels.We have about 2 years to solve and some help might be nice since we dont really know where to start. my general idea is somethibg like this: use a random pixel generator add a algorithm ???
  20. Yea I'll use mechjeb for docking but so far I don't have that tech.
  21. I'll keep this in consideration for the next docking, thanks.
