Hmm .... this re-entry is a bit 'spicy', Gee load is going to be a bit high when I open the chutes. Good job I don't have KeepFit enabled on this career ga- Yeah, so I didn't disable the Gee based Kerbal Killer when KeepFit isn't enabled for the game save. Which was bad. For Jeb. RIP Jeb. Fixed in 0.4.3.1.

Undernet? ISTR being around before the original split, where all this was fields (efnet I think). Anyway ... recompiled a new build for 1.0.2. No other exciting changes.

Rebuilt for 1.0.2 - no big issues to fix for 1.0.2, just rebuilt and updated version compatibility

Rebuilt for 1.0.2 - no other changes.

Ambient light adjustment depends on Blizzy's toolbar to operate, so without Blizzy's toolbar, you're out of luck with this mod. - - - Updated - - - Yes, but as written above, its not something I have the spare time available to look into right now - of course if anyone else wants to take on the task and send a pull request once they have stock toolbar working, I'm all ears.

I can't talk at work, but I can sometimes leave KSP running. Actually now I think of it I can't talk at home either because Mrs Timmers takes the merciless rise out of me mumbling into a mic, or I wake up the dog, who then needs taking outside at the most inconvenient moments (still, at least I can pause KSP unlike Elite Dangerous). - - - Updated - - - I've just checked, and this KSP IRC works with twitch chat. You have to remember to check the upper/lower case-ishness on the channel name, and you have to grab an OAuth token to use as your password, e.g. from http://www.twitchapps.com/tmi. I'm using server irc.twitch.tv, port 443 (port 6667 didn't work for me but probably because of firewall issues my side), and use my twitch username as my nick, and username, and pasted the whole OAuth token including the word 'oauth' into the password field (which overflowed in a slightly ugly fashion but you can't have everything). As always, YMMV, so let me know if this works for you.

I don't know, but will give it a go. - - - Updated - - - Quick bump as I've pushed a rebuild of KSPIRC for 1.0.0 KSP - no noticeable dramas rebuilding, but let me know if you have any issues. Timmers

Just a quick bump as I've pushed an update release just to rebuild with KSP 1.0.0 ... and to add the button to the spacecenter scene too Timmers

Apologies for the long delay in reply. You are correct on both counts. Timmers - - - Updated - - - I might be able to make that an option - - - Updated - - - I'm just now putting together an initial 1.0.0 KSP based build which is in GameData/KeepFit.

I'd have been hesitant to ask Blizzy to do this when he was maintaining it, but I'm somewhat open to it - right now life's keeping me very busy so I'm stuck in life support mode for any mods, but if I get some time back on KSP mod work, I'd be happy to look into it. T

Sorry about that - have been away for a while - I'll probably alter the package layout to be more standard (i.e. GameData/KeepFit)

Oops thanks for that new and exciting release incoming, which will have the exciting new feature of not getting the mod name wrong

Meanwhile, exceptions ... I don't if this is something you are already aware, of (or indeed if this is something I've managed to crock up all by myself with 'problem originates between chair and keyboard' syndrome), but with 0.90.0, and your latest release combined with latest FAR, I noticed the following during vessel load :- [RealChute]: Encountered an error calculating atmospheric density with FAR. Using stock values. at System.Linq.Enumerable.Single[MethodInfo] (IEnumerable`1 source, System.Func`2 predicate, Fallback fallback) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at System.Linq.Enumerable.Single[MethodInfo] (IEnumerable`1 source, System.Func`2 predicate) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at RealChute.RCUtils.get_densityMethod () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at RealChute.Extensions.CelestialBodyExtensions.GetDensityAtAlt (.CelestialBody body, Double alt) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 Which I suspect isn't a good thing (right now I'm trying to revalidate things on 0.90.0 before I start a new serious career save. Full output log is here I hope this is of some use - I'm kindof vaguely aware that FAR has recently changed a few things around internally, so it could be that. If its of help, perhaps tomorrow I'll be able to update my source for both ends and see if I can see what the cause is. Thanks for the excellent work on this mod btw - much appreciated.

Bing! and the thread (and the plugin) are back in business. Many thanks to @blizzy78 for allowing me to take on this mod. 0.90.0 release is now up on the OP

I was using appveyor to do builds before , but the PITA factor of it got the better of me - there's a distinct lack of free/almost free build hosting on windows which is available, and I can't really justify the cost of running my own local or cloud instance just for these builds (and *definitely* can't be using any of the kit at work for it). If I was more freelance/contractor software engineer it'd be no problem, but as a wage-slave I'm reliant on company kit for work stuff

I can take on Ambient light adjustment if that's ok - will prepare a forked build tonight hopefully if the kids don't hassle me too much. Thanks, Timmer

Updated for 0.90.0 - new release linked on first post

Quick update ... I haven't had a chance to look into the landed but roving Kerbals in Exercising issue as yet, but I have pushed a quick update for 0.90.0 which also has one other issue I'd noticed resolved, which is to limit the minimum landed Gee level below which Kerbals don't get to count as Exercising - so no more automatic jumping jacks on Gilly - its not big, not clever, and would probably result in achieving escape velocity. Download link on first post, as usual. I'd also be interested if people are keen on me keeping with releases on KerbalStuff, as its definitely easier just pushing releases to github, but if people prefer KerbalStuff, I'll continue with that. Timmers

So if I'm understanding what you are saying correctly, KeepFit is setting you as exercising when moving over the surface - I'll have to check that, as I never tried using it whilst travelling in a Rover - generally speaking I've not been too worried over the detailed exercise state whilst landed as I didn't want to overdo the micromanagement aspect, instead using handwaving to imply they can get out and do as much calisthenics as they like when you aren't looking - much like taking the 'best' module in the vessel and handwaving around the ability of kerbals to move around to get some exercise, without actually having to move them manually. Cool thanks - I started from the baseline of Nathan's Deadly Re-entry G effects code in the beginning, and added more detail to it.

With kind permission of @blizzy78 , and continuing on from his excellent work, I've taken on this plugin that allows to use Internet Relay Chat (IRC) from within KSP. Now you can chat with friends without ever putting KSP into the background. Download GitHub Spacedock Source code on GitHub: https://github.com/timmersuk/ksp_irc Please note that this is an early version. It's not as comfortable as it can be, and it surely has its quirks. Let me know what you think about the plugin! Configuration Since this is just an early version, you need to configure the plugin via its config file, then (re)start KSP. This will be changed to something more comfortable in a future version. You can still edit your config manually and (re)start KSP every time, but my one contribution of newness so far is to add a config window - if you don't have valid config it will ping up on start, but if you do have config you can select config from the chat window any time in order to update your config. Edit to your heart's content, and when you have the correct changes, press confirm, and the client will save the settings changes and reconnect (even if nothing has changed right now). Edit the following lines in <KSP_FOLDER>\GameData\KSPIRC\irc.cfg host = <hostname of IRC server> port = <port number of IRC server> nick = <the nick name you wish to use> serverPassword = <server password, optional> For example, to join the official KSP channel, use this: host = irc.esper.net port = 6667 nick = <whatever you like> The official KSP channel name on Esper.net is #KSPOfficial Commands You may currently use the following commands by entering them into the text field at the bottom of the window: /J <channel> - Joins channel <channel>. (synonym for /JOIN) /ME <action> - Sends "<your nick name> <action>" into the current channel or to the current user (depending on tab.) /MSG <user> <message> - Sends <message> to <user>. All unknown commands will be sent to the server verbatim (/NICK or /JOIN, for example.) Operator commands: /DEOP <user> - Removes operator status from user <user> in the current channel. /DEVOICE <user> - Removes voice status from user <user> in the current channel. /KICK <user> [<reason>] - Kicks user <user> from the current channel (with optional reason <reason>.) /OP <user> - Grants operator status to user <user> in the current channel. /TOPIC <topic> - Sets the current channel's topic to <topic>. /VOICE <user> - Grants voice status to user <user> in the current channel. Change Log This mod includes version checking using MiniAVC. If you opt-in, it will use the internet to check whether there is a new version available.

Is anyone still doing anything with the C# port of DDS4KSP? (https://github.com/Telanor/DDS4KSP.git) I ask because I'd switched to using that, as I can poke around in it as a c# program, whereas not so much with the VB version. Only trouble is, using the C# code to convert, I'm now getting "something" going wrong with the normal maps (I think), which I don't get when I convert using the VB converter. I'll try and grab a backup and reconvert so I can see the difference in the output, but if the C# port is now a deader, I'll not bother trying to fix that, and just go back to using the VB code.

Sorry for the delay in replying here .. RL fun. Any time your Kerbals are out of crew rotation (hired but not on a mission), they are regaining fitness at the 'Exercising' level. Similarly, if they are on a mission and landed they get 'Exercising' as their activity level, wherever they are (currently - I'm changing this to instead require a minimum Gee level for this to count - 'landed' on Dres shouldn't count!). I'm currently cleaning up this code and changing it so that each individual Kerbal's location in the Vessel is what counts for their activity level, as with the future addition of tracking seat max Gee level, I can no longer assume they move around themselves randomly (maybe later on I can hook in CLS and have them be treated as moving randomly in their accessible space, but not when under thrust) - this means when you abandon your Kerbals for months at a time, you need to either leave them in a Gee-simulating Hab, or expect to find a crew of cripples on return... this coupled with needing to seat your Kerbals during high Gee maneouvres in seat capable of taking the Gee loadings will be 'interesting', but will take a little time, as I need to work out how to disable controls if you don't have a minimum amount of crew capable of performing. I also intend to split the Gee capability into 2 - a Gee level at which the Kerbal will be incapable of controlling the craft, and a Gee level at which they will become a bent and broken ex-Kerbal. More news as I make progress, but if desired, I could release the interim update with the rejigged activityLevel calculation code.

That woukd be very nice. Iirc if you are landed, its assumed you can get some exercise, even in the smallest capsule (presumably by getting out when no-one is looking). I could potentially make that configurable though. Also 1 small note to sonething i wrote previously. .. i had written that you can never be in state 'exercising' when off planet. That is wrong, and you can, its just something i had reserved for porkjets spinny hab. Ill soon add some configs to achieve similarly with the MKS spinny hab, and also hopefully fix the multiple keepfit partmodules issue.

First post updated - 0.2.0.6 released, which switches back to a more 'use applauncher as a toggle for mainWindow' style of operating rather than mainWindow being an exclusive window, and closing mainWindow causing all other windows to close. I am looking at the other suggestions, esp the code from KSPI which does the whiteout, but that will take a little longer. Timmers

I've concluded i dont like this aspect applauncher integration either, and will be fixing this today, hopefully
