Pretty much. I hate changing scenes so much, so this gets rid of one source of that. It has a few other features, like contract sorting and keyboard shortcuts, but basically it just mimics the functionality of the Mission Control Center. Nope, I never intended Contracts Window + to be used as any kind of contract management app, just a monitoring window. Neither had I, which is why I made it.

Version 12 is out; get it on Kerbal Stuff or at GitHub. There have been numerous changes from SCANsat version 10. See the first post and the GitHub readme for more information and a full changelog. A few important changes to note: Part file and folder names have changed; you must delete any existing installations of SCANsat. The stock resource system has been integrated; more-or-less following what was laid out in the plans listed a few days ago. Default Resource Mode When scanning a planet using the stock Orbital Survey Scanner instrument all SCANsat resource maps for that planet will be filled in. These are available for display on the big map. The biome lock is active, giving only rough estimates of resource abundance until surface surveys are conducted. The zoom window can only show resource overlays if a vessel with a narrow-band scanner is in orbit around the planet and its inclination is high enough to cover the area shown in the zoom map. SCANsat Resource Mode In this mode SCANsat map overlays are decoupled from the stock scanning system. All resources must be scanned using normal SCANsat methods to be shown on the map overlay. Other changes include a new zoom map, FinePrint waypoint integration, MechJeb Landing Guidance integration (along with a stand-alone target selection system), extended color management options for slope, biome, and resource maps, an extensive external configuration file for storing all color settings, and numerous minor bug fixes, UI tweaks, and other adjustments.

Crash reports and log files (in the KSP_Data folder) from when the problem occurred would be helpful.

What you need is something like: var containers = FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel.FindPartModulesImplementing<ModuleScienceContainer>(); foreach (var container in containers) { if (container == null) continue; var data = container.GetData(); } containers will be an IEnumerable with all of the ModuleScienceContainers in the vessel. You can just check each of them for data.

Yes, 3 makes sense. Always count on people to screw things up if the option is available.

How does the GetContainerList method work? It seems there is still a First() in there somewhere. You should probably never use First() on something that may have no elements, use FirstOrDefault() then check if the return is null.

Yep, both this and the ability to decline/cancel contracts that aren't supposed to will be addressed in the next version, which should be ready today. The Unity UI should be more-or-less complete for this version. The KSP UI-style will take a little longer; I intend to make it look as much like the Mission Control Center interface as possible. I'll probably add an option in the config file to disable these limits, but I won't put that option on the in-game settings menu, people should have to work at least a little to bypass those limits (I'm also not sure if canceling those non-cancelable contracts is a good idea, they might not show up again).

It's always been that way. Though it is highly dependent on CPU power. There are numerous reasons why map generation is slow, and probably lots of ways to address it, but none of them are likely to be simple. I've just never bothered to make the nomenclature consistent. They are the same thing. Good to know. I'm guessing it had something to do with the new modes of science transmission introduced by the resource scanner and the new science lab processing function.

Yep: [DM] DMagic Orbital Science Version: [v1.0.2] Loaded Update to version 1.0.3: Kerbal Stuff

If the field is persistent then I think you can access it from protoPartSnapshots.modules.moduleValues (the snapshots and modules are both IEnumerables, so you'll need to sort out which one you want). That gives you a ConfigNode, I think it's the same as what gets added to the save file for each PartModule. If the field isn't persistent the only way I know of is to get the part's config file through the protoPartSnapshot.partInfo.partConfig, then grab the right value. This is how I'm handling it: var scanners = from pref in vessel.protoVessel.protoPartSnapshots where pref.modules.Any(a => a.moduleName == "ModuleResourceScanner") select pref; if (scanners.Count() == 0) continue; foreach (var p in scanners) { if (p.partInfo == null) continue; ConfigNode node = p.partInfo.partConfig; if (node == null) continue; var moduleNodes = from nodes in node.GetNodes("MODULE") where nodes.GetValue("name") == "ModuleResourceScanner" select nodes; foreach (ConfigNode moduleNode in moduleNodes) { if (moduleNode == null) continue; if (moduleNode.HasValue("MaxAbundanceAltitude")) { string alt = moduleNode.GetValue("MaxAbundanceAltitude");

Try again without Science Alert. It seems to be causing problems with science recovery.

It's still a WIP, but I have just the thing: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/116002

No, it should be correct (though when you have multiple copies of the same experiment they won't automatically update if you transmit one of them). The log file indicates that you received 18 science from that experiment. The "Subject Value" that it shows is the new value, after transmission. Since the transmission rate is 100% and the base and cap science values are the same for that experiment you get the entire available amount of science in one result. Check your actual science value total in the toolbar window, but it should be working fine.

I can't see the picture. Ignore the second line in that log file, that is related to how science collected from asteroids is processed. There was a thread somewhere explaining how all of the science values worked, but I can't remember where it was. The Subject Value is basically the planetary and situation multiplier. Science from the surface of Kerbin has a very low subject value, less than 1 I think, whereas science from the Mun has a higher value (it differs on the surface, in orbit, high orbit, etc...). The total science value of an experiment is the subject value * base value (found in the ScienceDefs.cfg file). The data value that shows in the experiment results page is based on another value in the ScienceDefs file, the dataScalar. It affects transmission time and electricity usage. The transmission value, the percentage of the SubVal * BaseVal that can be transmitted, is defined in each part's config file. There is another value not mentioned in that log file, the Science Value, that is to calculate the diminishing returns of repeated experiments from the same area. Edit: Oh, and to add greatly to the confusion, when it says Subject Value in that log entry, it really mean Science Value. So when it says Subject Value is 0.00, what it really means is the Science Value is zero, therefore no more science data can be collected from that biome/experiment/planet combination (a Science Value of 1 means no data has been collected from there yet). The actual Subject Value isn't given in the log entry... Edit 2: Here we go; [thread=62657]TriggerAu's awesome explanation[/thread] of the science system. The lab processing part is out-of-date, but the rest should still be valid. And speaking of lab processing, most of the experiments from my parts won't show the lab processing option, even though I'm pretty sure they should. If you want to process the data you'll have to manually remove it from my parts and take it into the Science Lab. From there it should work the same as stock science.

I see the problem, I'll get it fixed. It's only looking at the first ModuleResourceScanner module it finds for a part. Something like the Planetary Camera has multiple modules, so in that case it works for Minerals but nothing else. There is also a separate problem for modules that don't specify the maximum scanning altitude.

Do you have the zoom map restriction turned off in the settings window? If not you'll need an MKS antenna on a vessel in orbit to use the zoom map with water. This was brought up before and has been fixed; I was just compiling against the wrong version of MechJeb. That error should be harmless, it just means the SCANsatMechjeb assembly won't load so you can't do MechJeb targeting. Fixed that, thanks, it might still wrap around at really high altitudes, but those are probably less common for SCANsat vessels. I think my eyes must just gloss over things like that.

Transmission worked fine for me in science sandbox. Can you check the debug log while transmitting science? It will show a message whenever science is received. Something like: [Research & Development]: +50 data on Seismic Scan from LaunchPad. +2.7 Science Added. Subject value is 0.59

You can adjust the cutoff levels for all resources for each planet using the Resources tab in the Color Management window. I wouldn't waste time tinkering with Karbonite on Kerbin, but it can be useful in many cases where the abundance doesn't have a very large range. Yes, all mod planets work fine.

The science must be transmitted and must have some value left. If there isn't enough value left you will have to return the results to Kerbin. Did you see a message like this after transmission? This is what happens when the results don't have enough science value left to count. This generally only happens when you conduct science after an orbital survey contract is offered, but before you actually accept it. Do you mean in the vessel recovery window after you land? That isn't supposed to show science that was transmitted during flight, it only shows science that was present in the vessel when it was recovered.

Yes. The maps aren't tied to vessels. It just searches for any suitable vessel in orbit around the planet that the zoom map is showing, it works in flight, the space center and tracking station.

If you can track down StarStrider he might know. My guess is that there is some kind of texture hidden away in the asset files and that it is applied in some procedural way.

Not anymore. Pretty much everything was knocked down to 1200, with a few at 1400 and the solar particle collector at 2000.

Mount it on something else inside of the bay, find a small structural part (though I know those can be hard to find early in the tech tree). I really wish those parts had some kind of mounting part in the middle, or maybe a divider you could toggle.
