This is the kind of clean re-release and refactoring the mod always deserved. Thanks again for picking it up, looks great!

I'm here to back that up: I'm hereby passing this project off to @zer0Kerbal. It's been a lot of fun folks, and since I'm in the sound design field these days maybe you'll *hear* more from me, but Zer0 has the reins. As of this post, Solar Science is on v1.1.1, which is compatible with Kerbal Space Program v1.9.1. I expect Zer0 to post a new thread after this one for his updates. @HebaruSan Just letting you know to update the CKAN listings: Zer0Kerbal is now the primary author of the Solar Science mod. I've made the updates on Curseforge and SpaceDock, but let me know if there's anything else I need to do to make that transition.

Thanks, I'm glad to keep the ball rolling. A new thread seemed like it would be a mess anyway.

Relatively big update pushed out! Added a popup that pulls up one of the latest images from either SOHO or STEREO, for the KMI or STEREO respectively. Should you be offline or the link to the image is down, there's a backup image already available. Also added some sound effects that I edited myself from my own field recordings (including a scanner, a washing machine, and a bunch of mostly broken cameras). This response is a bump, but darn it I'm happy to get this out the door and didn't want to follow the suggestion to start a new thread.

Truth be told, I was also looking for a better solution for the button, but the main issue was indeed the image display. I already tried DialogGUIBox and DialogGUISpace, but neither of those displayed anything. DialogGUISprite though, I completely overlooked in the first place. Without UI Styles, it displays my image! Working with the scaling to make it display with the same dimensions and all, but this is a great step forward. Thank you! I'll post again once I get it properly together or if there are any further problems.

So, I've been working with this, and I haven't found a great solution. Basically, the only thing I've gotten to properly work is to make it show up as the UIStyle for a Button (thank you HebaruSan!!). This displays mostly as I would like it to, but it's pretty weird behind the scenes, and I would still like to just use the DialogGUIImage stuff instead. The main issue is when I mouse over the button, it does this: The draw function for making this happen is as follows. If anybody has any ideas or any further information on where to go from here, I would really appreciate it. internal void DrawPopupStuff() { if (imageLoaded == false) { LoadNewImage_KMI(); imageLoaded = true; } UIStyleState currentImageOfSun = new UIStyleState() { background = spriteOfSun, textColor = Color.black }; UIStyle sunDisplayStyle = new UIStyle() { normal = currentImageOfSun, highlight = currentImageOfSun, active = currentImageOfSun, disabled = currentImageOfSun, }; if (isShowingWindow == true) { if (myPopupDialog == null && imageOfSun != null) { myPopupDialog = PopupDialog.SpawnPopupDialog(new Vector2(0.3f, 0.3f), new Vector2(0.3f, 0.3f), new MultiOptionDialog( "Solar Image Window", "Global Message", "Solar Image Window Title", HighLogic.UISkin, new Rect(0.25f, 0.25f, imageOfSun.width/2, imageOfSun.height/2), new DialogGUIBase[] { //new DialogGUIImage( new Vector2(0, 0), //new Vector2(560, 512),new Color(1, 1, 1, 1),imageOfSun), new DialogGUIButton(spriteOfSun, delegate{ isShowingWindow = false; }, imageOfSun.width/2, imageOfSun.height/2, true), /*new DialogGUIBox("message", sunDisplayStyle, imageOfSun.width, imageOfSun.height, delegate{return false;}, new DialogGUIBase[] { new DialogGUIButton("test", delegate {}, true) }),*/ //new DialogGUIFlexibleSpace(), /*new DialogGUIButton("close", delegate { isShowingWindow = false; }, true)*/ } ), false, HighLogic.UISkin); } myPopupDialog.SetDraggable(true); } else { myPopupDialog.Dismiss(); } }

After using the mentioned methods to check my texture works, I can confirm it is loading into the game, being assigned properly to a Texture2D variable, and displayed with OnGUI. Image is in the upper left: So I think this means there's something up with the DialogGUIImage methods (or at least I'm not using them right) but I don't know what.

This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for, thank you! Unfortunately, I still can't get anything to come up. Not sure if the problem is DialogGUI, my image, or something else. At any rate, this will be helpful in the future. Excellent lot of examples, thank you! I'm going to try your method of converting to a Sprite, hopefully it works.

Howdy All, I'm working on extending an old project of mine right now, and the lack of documentation for DialogGUI classes is really messing me up, so I wanted to see if anybody can point me in the right direction. As it stands, I have an image of the sun that I want to show in a Popup window, with a button to close the window. Simple enough. This is the function I currently call when I want it to come up, which mostly works: internal void DrawPopupStuff() { if (imageLoaded == false) { LoadNewImage_KMI(); imageLoaded = true; } if (isShowingWindow == true) { if (myPopupDialog == null && imageOfSun != null) { myPopupDialog = PopupDialog.SpawnPopupDialog(new Vector2(0.3f, 0.3f), new Vector2(0.3f, 0.3f), new MultiOptionDialog( "Solar Image Window", "Global Message", "Solar Image Window Title", HighLogic.UISkin, new Rect(0.25f, 0.25f, 800, 800), new DialogGUIBase[] { new DialogGUIFlexibleSpace(), new DialogGUIButton("close", delegate { isShowingWindow = false; }, true), new DialogGUIImage( new Vector2(0.0f, 0.0f), new Vector2(0.0f, 0.0f),Color.red,imageOfSun) } ), false, HighLogic.UISkin); } myPopupDialog.SetDraggable(true); } else { myPopupDialog.Dismiss(); } } Now, most of this seems to work as intended, but unfortunately the DialogGUIImage part escapes me. No image appears. I don't know exactly what it wants from me with the Vectors, nor why it needs a Color. Screenshot: If anybody could also point me to any examples of PopupDialog in action besides those already visible in DMagic's OG thread, that would be very helpful.

Update has just been pushed out, sorry for the delay! Lots of school projects and I picked up my first contract, so I've been strapped for time. Fortunately I got everything to work and even improved it a bit, I think.

Honestly? I'm not a coder. Github in theory sounds great, but when it comes to hosting stuff there I get lost The grammar and spelling and all is just .cfg stuff, already editable anyway. Adding in the already meager source code is the difference of a few kilobytes. And to be quite honest, my interest in KSP comes and goes; I simply don't have the time nor willpower to sit down and sort all of it out nor further develop the mod anymore. This is much of why I include the code with the mod: it's much easier that way for potential inheritors to pick up and work with Solar Science if they literally already have everything for it. Also, update to 1.2 coming right up, just gotta deal with the slight engine update and we'll be all set!

It does not. Up until this point Solar Science has simply been an updated version of the original mod I made a year and a half ago, before contracts were introduced. That said, it's an interesting idea. One day I may revisit it. Certainly! In fact, unless 1.2 does an entire shakedown of how parts and plugins are structured, it should work as is.

This mod looks fantastic. Too bad TAC LS isn't up to speed yet. Did TAC happen to give any kind of time frame for the fix?

Thanks for the heads up! I'm amazed this mod is actually going somewhere

Alright gang, it's working! Better still @MKellerBR, I put Solar Science on Spacedock, which allowed me to put it in CKAN with the check of a box. If I ever find the time, I think what would be next on my list is making sure you are indeed pointing it at Kerbol, and maybe a more detailed view of what images are actually being produced...something like these, or maybe like these?

D'oh is right! I even read multiple things saying to make sure it used .NET 3.5 instead of 4.0, but never bothered to check...after building it properly it works fine. What confuses me though is that after working fine up until or past 1.0 without rebuilding, it suddenly didn't like the script (which, if I'm correct, was indeed originally built in .NET 3.5). Oh well.

I'm not 100% sure what it's telling me here, but I did as you said, rebuilt, and ran KSP. Loaded up my test craft and pressed the button to execute the experiment a few times (which did nothing), then closed the game. Found this at the very end of the logs. Am I correct in assuming this means KSP simply can't find the script?

That's what I meant by "public new void" working just fine. Putting override in place of new just produced errors, and Visual Studio claimed it couldn't be overriden due to the inherited function not being marked as virtual, abstract, or override. I should also add that KSP doesn't complain at all either; until the experiment fails to occur, there's no indication anything's wrong.

This code is for Solar Science, which as of now doesn't actually do science because it refuses to run the experiment. Instead of calling ModuleScienceExperiment, my parts call this instead. It functioned properly in at least .24 through at least 1.0, but now simply fails. Asked for help from #kspmodders IRC and all we determined is that "public new void" should work just fine. Also determined that public new void DeployExperiment() and public new void DeployAction(KSPActionParam p) weren't firing. //Make sure we're using all available stuff using System; using UnityEngine; namespace PraiseTheSun { //Inherit ModuleScienceExperiment stuff public class SolarExperiment : ModuleScienceExperiment{ // Check if you're around the Sun and height from the surface, and if false post the message public bool checkBody() { if (vessel.mainBody.name == "Sun" && vessel.mainBody.GetAltitude(vessel.CoM) <= 10000000000d) return true; ScreenMessages.PostScreenMessage("This experiment only operates closely around Kerbol (the Sun) !", 2, ScreenMessageStyle.UPPER_CENTER); return false; } // If deploying an Experiment, check the boolean and act accordingly public new void DeployExperiment() { if (checkBody()) base.DeployExperiment(); } // If doing an action, check the boolean and act accordingly public new void DeployAction(KSPActionParam p) { if (checkBody()) base.DeployAction(p); } } } Anybody have any ideas? SOLVED: Silly me, I forgot to use .NET 3.5. Still haven't understood why the previous script (which was built using 3.5) stopped working as it was the exact same code, however I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Thank you everybody!

Yes, I got the archives. You can clear the space now if you need to. Also, that would indeed be really cool. Perhaps that's something for down the road, once I actually have a grasp on coding instead of basically having others do it for me

Thank you! I removed it. Just had it because the old thread did. In hindsight I guess I just wanted to make sure people knew what they were getting lol Thank you! As soon as I get the mod functioning again I'll look into getting it indexed. Didn't know it existed until now. I'm still very out of the loop

Thank you, I would appreciate the archives! Need to make sure the one I have available right now is indeed the most current version. Also, not sure what's going on with the screenshots. The first image is jacked up but fixes itself quickly. Will try to fix that as well. I'm glad to see there's still demand for it! I honestly never imagined Solar Science would last this long. As for using the mod, currently the parts and animations seem to play correctly, but when trying to conduct the experiment nothing seems to happen, so hang tight and I'll do my best to get it properly doing science again. In the meantime, you're free to download and build a craft with the parts on it. EDIT: It might be a while until I can get it fixed, due to classes and tests and all that nonsense. Hang in there!

Threw up some new screenshots, but personally encountering some problems getting the experiment to run; there's likely been a syntax change somewhere since initial release that I've missed. Will be trying to fix that asap.

Beyond the header image I don't currently have any screenshots of the parts, as I believe that was also lost during my computer switch. I'll try to get some up as soon as I can (probably within the next 24 hours)

Previous thread. This new thread was necessary because of loss of my old email, forgotten password, some source files, and hosting site (you will be missed, Kerbal Stuff) Salutations! May the sunlight always be upon you! *Update v1.1.0: New Sound Effects and Realtime solar images! Update v1.1.1: New licensing, preparing for a handover to @zer0Kerbal. Check for his thread linked below. Check the changelog for more details This small mod adds a couple new scientific instruments (such as the one pictured here) which do science specifically around the most wondrous body in the Kerbol system. Both of these instruments are based upon instruments currently aboard the SOHO and STEREO spacecraft, and when experiments are run, real, recent images are displayed. It also adds a few new flags. To install Like most other mods, simply download the file (Linked at the bottom), unzip it, and drop the folder it gives you into Kerbal Space Program>GameData. Notes: The Source Code, models, textures, and sounds are provided. These are in .cs, .fbx, .png, and .wav formats, respectively, and are all found in the folder Solar Science > Source.
