While I have not 'tested' it, I have used it throughout my early 1.2 career play through. The only issue I have found is that the orbit a probe and return it safely contract seems to complete upon the next returned ship from orbit after acceptance of the contract, regardless of whether or not it is a probe. Could be a mod conflict, so possibly an isolated incident. 

Also the aforementioned generous contract rewards..

Cheers,

That may be a CC issue, I'll ask @nightingale.  the reward will be fixed in the next release

Good stuff.  A minor suggestion: If/when you update the Rover missions contract pack if you could rename it to --> "Contract Pack: Rover Missions" it would match the 'normal' convention of the rest of the contract packs.

It already is named that way, I'll be getting it updated for 1.2.1 soon:

The problem is that the crew isn't specified, so any ship will work.

Will fix today

Fixed Unmanned Missions, get version 0.3.27:

• Added crew requirement for first unmanned to orbit and back

This will only apply to new contract, not existing ones

Released Rover Missions for 1.2.1

I noticed the latest Rover Missions gave a validation error. Is 'ModuleWheel' obsolete?

@linuxgurugamer Small thing, but KSP AVC is reporting that the Grand tours contract pack is built for 1.1

Thanks, I'll get it updated

Thank you! As always.

Hey @linuxgurugamer

I get a ModuleWheel related error with the Rover Contracts on KSP1.2.2. Changing ModuleWheel to ModuleWheelMotor in iteratorRover.cfg fixes it, however I am not sure if thats the intended solution. But I assume. 

Spoiler

I'll review and update

@linuxgurugamer I know you're busy with the 46? mods you're now in charge of but I was wondering if either you could add some compatibility for Galileo's Planet Pack or give me some guidelines on how to do it myself (I have a fair amount of experience with .cfg files and a lot of free time coming up).

Add compatability for it in what?

Unmanned Contracts please (sorry, slipped my mind that 3 contract packs live here)

That will be difficult, the cfg files are generated from a script.

Here is what I'll need to do a specific version for Galileo's planet pack:

1. List of bodies, with a maximum deadline (in days) for each.  Necessary because bodies further away take longer.
2. For each body, the antenna needed for RemoteTech to work

Once I have this, I should be able to generate a contract pack for you, but you are going to have to test it

The following is something that some of you might find useful.  This is a table giving the minimum and maximum distances between planets, measure in megameters.  This covers 500 years of planetary movements, from year 1 through year 500.  To find the minimum distance, select the innermost planet going down the column on the left, and the outermost planet going across the row at the top.  Then read the distance at the intersection of the selected column and row.  To find the maximum distance, select the innermost planet going across the row at the top, and the outermost planet going down the column on the left.

For example, let's say you want the minimum distance between Gael and Gratian.  Gael in the inner planet, so select Gael in the column at the left.  Gratian is the outer planet, so select Gratian in the row across the top.  Where those selections intersect we see that the minimum separation is 22,830 Mm.  To find the maximum distance, now select Gratian in the column to the left, and Gael in the row across the top.  We find that the maximum separation is 55,486 Mm.

Something useful from the GPP thread

[Agustin]

This has nothing to do with ContractConfigurator, right? Is it okay to install both?

Edit: Sorry for not reading. I see now I need it. Sorry!

Just started a new career and the Unmanned contracts are not generating. I am pretty sure that it is a CC issue, but the Rover contracts are generating so I'm not sure. Specifically the "First Orbit" and "Return from Orbit" contracts are not generating. I have successfully orbited; I imagine that is a pre-requisite for the contracts to generate.

Let me know if you need amplifying information.

Cheers,

[Stratickus]

I checked the CC logs. It generated a folder titled: "!NO_GROUP" All the Unmanned contracts are in the folder. Let me know if they are of any use to you.

Additionally, the CC ingame debug menu appears to be generating stuff for Unmanned contracts.

Ok, sounds like something needs an update.

Going to be a day or so before I get around to this

Hi @linuxgurugamer I just had my first "Rover Expedition" mission showing up and I have a few question about it :

Spoiler

First, my rover has 4 seats but I was planning of sending a crew of 2, can I complete the mission like that :

1. Board the rover with Johnny and Agalina
2. Investigate Memorial
3. Send Johnny and Agalina back to Kerbin
4. Board with Nedmy and Steltine
5. Investigate Blaze and Battleground

Or should I do all in a row with a single crew ? If I regenerate new contract will it always ask me to fill all the seats of the rover ? I play with USI-LS/MKS so I usually build things with more seat than kerbal.

Second, what "Collect science at 4" mean ? Should I run the experiment with a crew of 4 in the rover ? Or collect science at the 4 locations mentioned above ? (only 3 different actually)

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

you only need one kerbal, the "collect science at 4" is referring to the 4th location

[Li0n]

Thanks for the quick answer, I just notice another thing : none of my kerbal has name matching the contract requirement, neither those available for hire in the astronaut complex ??

At the time I only got 4 scientist and all them are on mission, maybe that's the cause ?

[Li0n]

It's not, I hired a new one, decline the contract, the new contract ask for a single scientist but still for an unknown kerbal's name. Regenerate a new contract, 5 scientist asked for this time but none from my roster either.

Will the contract complete if names don't match ? I'm running low on funds and prefer to not discover it "in-situ"...
