[How to get the absolute Navball rotation value ?]

So, how can I get the heading of my vessel relative to the surface, e.g. the value the navball recieves for its rotation ?

[Setting SAS lock direction (How does VesselSAS work))]

After playing around with it some more today, I came up with pretty much the same solution. And I also haven't got a clue what the manual lock is:)

The mechjeb code also uses the Quaternation.Euler(90,0,0), so i gues that is the right way.

I did find a way prevent the SAS to go mad when you set it:

currentHeading = Quaternion.LookRotation(vessel.transform.up) * Quaternion.Euler(90,0,0);
targetHeading = Quaternion.LookRotation(targetVector) * Quaternion.Euler(90,0,0);

if (Quaternion.Angle(currentHeading, targetHeading) > 10)
            {
                target = Quaternion.RotateTowards(currentHeading, targetHeading, 2f); 
            }
            else
{
            target = Quaternion.LookRotation(targetHeading);
            }

part.vessel.VesselSAS.LockHeading(target, true);

Hope this makes sense.

Hi, what kind of values does your "targetVector" take ? Are they basically navball values ?

[Get maximum fuel capacity for fuel tank ?]

I found these id's on github, does this make sense ?

public enum DefaultResources : int
        {
            ElectricCharge = 1576437329,
            MonoPropellant = 2001413032,
            EVAPropellant = -792463147,
            Seperator1 = 35,
            Seperator2 = 36,
            LiquidFuel = 374119730,
            Oxidizer = -1823983486,
            SolidFuel = 650317537,
            IntakeAir = -1909417378,
            XenonGas = 1447111193
        }

[Get maximum fuel capacity for fuel tank ?]

Oh, good to know. But how do I check what kind of resource something is ? I can't seem to find some kind of enum like ResourceType... Is the only way to check PartResource.resourceName ? How am I supposed to know those strings ?

[Get maximum fuel capacity for fuel tank ?]

I can only find FuelTank.fuel, but not maxFuel or fuelCapacity or something similar. How can I find out the maximum fuel capacity of a tank ?

[Orientation relative to orbiting body ?]

I know I can use

Program.Vessel.VesselSAS.LockHeading(); to set the heading of the SAS. Now what exactly is the relationship between the Euler Angles used to construct the quaternion for the SAS heading and the actual position on the navball ? Are they relative to world space or to the body my vessel is orbiting ? What's the most elegant way to use the three values of an euler angle to set the pitch (x), yaw(y) and roll(z) relative to the object I am orbiting ? Is there maybe some "navball quaternion" which I could use to rotate my constructed quat to the correct orientation ? Thanks

[How to attach complex data to my part ?]

One option would be to compress it (if necessary), convert to base64 and then store in a ConfigNode the way SCANsat does. They found a handy snippet to help with this

Great Idea!

[How to attach complex data to my part ?]

No, I can't serialize it to the node with the node system. I need to serialize an entire custom node system ( with node connections, events, data etc). Currently I simply use a binaryFormatter to serialize it into a binary file. I might at some pont switch to xml. How can I store my data "next to" my vessel ?

[How to attach complex data to my part ?]

So, I have a lot of data to save in my PartModule. What is the standard way to save / load it, so that it stays persistent from VAB to prelaunch etc ?

[Can't get a simple plugin to load?!]

I think my mistake was a wrong / missing module name, got it to work now.

[Can't get a simple plugin to load?!]

Hi, I followed the tutorials in the wiki to create a simple plugin:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using KSP;
using UnityEngine;
namespace KSPFlightPlanner
{
    public class FPComputer : PartModule
    {
        private bool inEditor = false;
        public override void OnStart(StartState state)
        {

            print("FP Started instance" + state);
            if (state == StartState.Editor)
            {
                inEditor = true;

            }
        }
        public override void OnInitialize()
        {
            print("Initiated instance");
        }
        public override void OnUpdate()
        {

            if (inEditor)
            {
                GUI.Box(new Rect(100, 100, 100, 300), "Test");
            }
        }

    }
}

The library does not throw any errors when loading, but I can't find any output in the log files. What's wrong here ?

[[PART, 1.0.2] Anatid Robotics / MuMech - MechJeb - Autopilot - Historical thread]

Best to grab the zip and reinstall everything. This will get rid of cfg's as well in the mechjeb folder. Things change enough that the cfg's can cause issues on existing craft.

I did that and the mechjeb menu is invisible.

[[PART, 1.0.2] Anatid Robotics / MuMech - MechJeb - Autopilot - Historical thread]

Why not?

what version of mechjeb.dll are you using? what version of KSP? When did it stop working?

In other words: provide enough information for someone to help you.

Latest ( 207 & 23.5). It stopped working when I updated mechjeb from 205 (I think...some version from yesterday) to 207

Can't access the Mechjeb menu any more:

So, I got a feeling that the amount of science a measurement creates is reduced by the same amount whether I send it or take it back to Kerbin, so does the total amount of science I can gain from each body get reduced when sending it?

On the website it says it's an unofficial mod. Others say it's official and actually 23.5. So what is it? When will it come out? I can't seem to find any reliable info...
