Cannot switch to vessels via Tracking Station

[Yllier]

I just downloaded KSP 1.0 and dropped my save file from .90 into the saves folder for the new version. Everything seemed to work fine but when I go to the Tracking Station I cannot select any of the ships on the left panel. If I click on one of the vessels the map will focus in on it but all the buttons on the bottom are grayed out.

I have a similar issue on Windows x64, steam.

Left list with the vessels in the tracking station is not accessable anymore and I can't "fly" a particular station. If I leave the tracking station and then re-enter I can select other vessels again until I chose a particular one (base on the mün).

I had the same issue with another base, but could resolve it because I had a rover close. "Flew" that rover and switched to the base. Now I can use this base again from the tracking station.

However the other one is still not accesable. A workaround might be to fly something close and do the same trick. (Not tryed yet)

I think this is related to antoher issue ... In the Austronaut Complex I am missing almost all my Kerbals flying on any vessel. Only one of about 10 shows up in the assigned tab. Also, even if fully upgraded I have a max of 12 now, but the description from the outside (right click on the bulding) did read "fully upgraded", "unlimtted number of Kerbals" earlier, after the upgrade. Suddenly I can't see this either when right clicking the building.

As with the post before I was using a save from the (steam) version before 1.0.

Update I could fix it!!

Actually it was related to the the indexes in the presistence.sfs file of 2 Kerbals ...

The log file lead me to the solution (unfortunately it's overwrtten now and I can't post the exact entries) ... there were some NullPointer and index out of bound exceptions and the it stated something about the base, actually the name, and that the crew is not the same person as it is in the roster.

After carefully examine the module having the lines (names are just of the top of my head)

crew = Kerwise Kerbal

crew = Robert Kerbal

And in the roster entries I had

idx = -1

for both, comparing it with another module where for 2 crews idx=0 and idx=1 I thought this might be the problem.

So I went back to the roster entries for this 2 specific Kerbals and put idx=0 for the first in the module (Kerwise Kerbal) and idx=1 for the 2nd (Robert Kerbal).

And voila after saving the file and starting the app. They show up again in the Astronaut Comlex as assigned and all others show up again too. Also I can read the info on right click again and the restriction to 12 Kerbals disappeared. Also I can fly the base again from the tracking tracking station.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your replies. I launched another ship and did as you did: switched to the ship in map mode. This unlocked every ship in the Tracking Station! I cannot overstate my thanks to you!

Sorry for posting in this old thread, but i encountered the same problem.

I Can't get to my munbase.

Opening the debug log shows those three errors/exceptions with several normal entries between them. The exeption shows up after I opened the tracking station.

 

[Error]: Cannot find a Module of typename 'ExSettings'

[Error]: ScenarioModule is null.

[Exception]: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

 

using a rover nearby lets me switch to the base but then I cannot go back to the space station have to close Kerbal from windows.

I would really appreciate any help.

 

Edit: no recent changes on any mods. worked fine before

I would suggest you read this thread over in the modded support forum, follow the advice within and then, if you haven't managed to resolve the problem yourself, post your own thread in that forum with all the details and logs etc. mentioned in the thread...
