[1.1.2] Kerbal Inventory System (KIS) 1.2.12

[futrtrubl]

Full exception is:

[FONT=monospace][COLOR=#000000][EXC 17:46:41.119] NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object[/COLOR]
        KIS.ModuleKISInventory.[COLOR=#ffffff]UpdateKey[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] ()[/COLOR]
        KIS.ModuleKISInventory.Update ()

The mod is de-referencing a null pointer, pointers should *always* be checked before first access, which is not being done in this code. ;-)

Not the full exception, the full log. That gives a lot more context for the problem, especially in KSP/unity where errors elsewhere can have odd effects in completely unrelated areas.

Not really. You often want to arrange your program so that you can expect most refs to be non-null, and if one happens to be null, then the error is often someplace else. However, as you say, sometimes you discover that a ref might be null by design, which is when you add a null-check.

It's not a pointer... but anyway, what would you do when you find a null reference? You throw an exception. But there's no point manually checking and then manually throwing an exception, the CLR does all that on its own anyway. So unless you want to specifically handle cases of null references differently, there's no point in a duplicate check.

Don't try to apply design rules of your favorite language to another runtime environment without learning more about it first.

I really love KIS. I could save lots of kerbals with it which would have died in space

The new large IMC-250 Container is also awesome for space station building in orbit. The design fits quite well I think. So I got the idea that the container would also be cool to have as a cargo bay which opens like the new stock cargo bays. It already looks like it could open the two sides

I don't understand. When I use Bob (as his an engineer), and drag out a parachute and attach it to the ship I want it attached to, it says its part of Bob Kerman, and the parachute slowly float off the ship and off into space (at the same velocity and rotation as Bob had when he attached it. How do I fix this?

EDIT: Found it, need to help down X

I would like to edit a save since I forgot to bring a wrench so my docking party. Where in the persistent file can I add the parts that are supposed to be in the inventory of a capsule?

[Kontakt]

Anytime I try to drop a container from my kerbals, it just duplicates the container and contents, and stays stuck to my kerbals. Has anyone had this happen before?

[jd284]

@Andy81le

Note that capsules can only carry items when a Kerbal occupies them. Technically it's the inventory of the Kerbal, however the items are still stored within the part, in the ModuleKISInventory module.

I suspect it'll be easier to hack this module in for a container than an occupied capsule though. And unless you're at Jool it'll probably take less time to bring up the screwdriver in an SC-62 container than to figure out the module structure though...

Good luck!

I can't radially attach radial SAS from Ven's stock revamp. It says wrong node, with all 3 nodes it has.

Just started using this, so I'm learning. Been using KAS since 0.22 tho.

Any mods have more than 20000L volume containers?

I just need 40000L for BDarmory CIWS.

OPTION A:

a) Go to: C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\KIS\Parts\container2

Edit part.cfg with any text editor:

c) Change: maxVolume = 20000

to: maxVolume = 40000

d) Close file and restart KSP

OPTION B:

a) Copy part.cfg to a new file and rename it to parta.cfg

Use any text editor to change parta.cfg:

1. change "name =" to another name

2. change "title =" to a new title (makes it easier to spot in parts list)

3. change other entries as you see fit, including maxVolume.

4. Close editor and restart KSP

5. You'll now have the original part and your new mod.

Thx man.

[montyben101]

Wow impressive! The user guide is better than guides I have seen for cars and computer parts! If only other mods could be as good XD

[MarcAFK]

Why would you put something that big in a container? Just attach it to a lander then crowbar it off.(I've modded crowbars to allow 5 ton engineering)

Hello,

first let me thank you for this helpful mod.

I seem to have a bug. whenever I equip a kerbal with items in the inventory and I pass through or EVA out off a KerbCan (PPD-2), all items are gone missing.

Found out the hard way, after arriving on the moon to repair a rover, bringing an engineer with everything needed for the repair.

This can be tested on the launch pad.

[Megan]

KerbCan (PPD-2)

VSR problem. KIS wants IVAs and I don't think Ven's completed the Kerbcan's internals.

It's also a problem with the training academy from MKS.

Fixed in the next update.

There is an mm config earlier in this thread that can fix it.

[inigma]

Any ctrl+z action in the editor wipes out KIS container inventories, even if item being reverted is not a KIS object. Bug?

It might be a repeat report but I have an item duplication bug regarding carried containers: Assuming wrench in Kerbal slot #1, carried container in Kerbal slot #2. Inside the container there is also an item (let's say the basic battery) in the container's slot #2. The Kerbal is on EVA near a container mount, "2" is pressed and "X" is held while the container outline is hovering in blue over the node attach point. LMB is pressed to complete the attachment of the container to the mount.

The result is that it is the battery from inside the container is attached to the mount instead of the container itself by virtue of the similarity in slot #. Additionally the placed item does not subtract from the container's inventory so one battery is now two batteries.

On a different front dragging and dropping parts with EVA RCS enabled can double as controlling the EVA reorient. If you made certain KIS actions restricted while the RCS joysticks are in hand it could steer users away from the mixed control situation while also being quite plausible (Kerbals need their hands free for tools and whatnot).

I had noticed this too, but quickly learned to turn off the RCS upon arrival at the work site.

I was on one version ago. No longer an issue. [Enhancement] Disable jetpack mouse input while dragging

waht happened to the connectors? i alwayus get situations that call for fixed mounting points, particularly with the insane power drain of the electromagnets.

Do you mean from KAS? They are still in KAS.
