That's hilarious. After your help earlier today, I got the B9 MFD's staged resources working properly. Now they're (for the time being) useless again. I'm still trying to figure out JSIGraphingBackground, but I may aim at some other places to play with that. On that note, are you aware of any mods I can check out as examples of that being implemented? It doesn't appear in either your basic MFD or in ALCOR (fairly old, never dull) config files, and the separate initialization and implementation don't appear common to the rest of your background handlers. In short, I was doing it wrong:

I was doing this with KSP 1.1.0 and RPM 0.25.1 (second hotfix)

Take a look at the Flight Systems Redux in my tagline.  Or, for a direct link to the relevant config. look here.  I'm currently using them as warning lamps, so they're not bar graphs, but bar graphs are only a little different.

@MOARdV In your "graphtype" for the RPM monitors, are circular graphs an option at all? I'm trying to build my own page for RPM... many thanks!

Expand  

No, no circular graphs.  Rectangular graphs (growing from any edge of the region, or out from the centerline) and "indicator lamps" are the limit right now.  I had a request for those a while ago, but the design became very messy, very quickly, and I could not find a good way to make it work without either the code or my head exploding.

OK, no worries.

I had an idea of creating my own "half circular", but not sure how to implement as a new graphtype, would creating a horizontal graph (filling from left to right) as a square and superimponsing a half circular bar over it so as the graph fills it gives the ilussion of only the circular area being filled? Hopefully i'm making sense...

It would work using a mask for the textureInterlay on the page - although the fill would be linear from left to right, so it might look a little bit strange when near full or near empty.  I guess trying it out would be the easy way to find out. :)

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll post back some results.

what is the mod that is supposed to work with the vesselview and extcam buttons in the rasterprop monitor?

Expand  

For the extcam, it's already in RPM.  You just need to put one or more "JSI External Radial-mount Camera" parts on your vessel.  You can find it under utility, or just search for cam.

Vessel View is this mod.  It seems to have been stricken with bitrot.  The last time I tried it, some of the jet engines weren't displayed correctly and I couldn't figure out how to use it to actually interact with the ship.

Like @Vegemeister said, external cameras are part of core RPM.  There are mods that add different models for cameras (ASET ALCOR lander and HullCam both come to mind), but the simple camera model is already in RPM, and the default RPM monitors have an external camera page.  Vessel View is supported by RPM out of the box for quite a while with the built-in MFD, but if the mod has been neglected, that's a different problem.

Now that KSP 1.1.x looks like it's settled down, RasterPropMonitor v0.26.0 is now available.  A few new variables, a couple of new features for interacting with PilotAssistant, and a couple fewer bugs.  Git it on GitHub.

Yeah, so it is.  I guess it didn't survive the forum upgrade.

Expand  

After Squad rolled out the new forum software (IPS4, ugh), they got topic link conversion working (old link "/thread/..." to new link "/index.php?/topic/...") and it still happens now automatically.  However, post numbers have never converted (old link "/thread/.../post...." to new link "/index.php?/topic/.../&page=...#comment-...").

Have to search out and find those manually.  Or not. Lost a fair number of links meself. :(

I got a question regarding scatterer, do you know the reason why the scatterer atmosphere somehow "drifts" out of place when looking trough the cameras?

Expand  

Most likely because of the way scatterer is implemented.  If it's not working on one of the normal camera layers, RPM isn't aware that it needs to do anything with it.  I'd have to dig through the scatterer source to see what it would take for RPM to be aware of it.

Did you personally experience what I mean? I have a feeling it's because of the different viewpoint, and FOV of the camera, but who am I to speak.  Thanks for the answer anyway.

I don't have scatterer installed.  I looked at it once a few months ago, but not since then.
