Contract Filter 1.5.2(1.1.2) Manage the contracts you receive to your liking!

[Fafnir48]

It seems the last update is broken. Just installed the mod, I haven't any restriction and the mod filters some contracts like place a satellite around minmus, build a new outpost on Duna ...

[silverfox8124]

@Fafnir48 Have you looked at the contracts that it was declining and comparing that to your max funds/science/rep for that type of contract? I tried upping the amount, but it may need more tweaking

[Fafnir48]

That was the problem !

I replaced every max param to 10 millions, and every min param with -10 millions ( the default 0 value was definitely causing a lot of filtering) and now it works as intendeed.

Thanks for the mod

[silverfox8124]

@Fafnir48 odd that the 0 is causing problems...

[herman]

Installed via CKAN. Cool idea.

Two problems:

1. The save button doesn't seem to work. I click save all the time and when I restart the game the blacklist bodies tab is always empty.

2. The reject by funds tab option doesn't work. I open the "Edit all" window and change min funds complete to 500,000 (perfectly possible since I have station science and grand tours installed) and watch it reject contracts that have over 500,000 payoffs and accept contracts with 10,0000.

Any ideas if this is normal or I'm doing something wrong?

[silverfox8124]

@herman, 1) Save button should work, check your version and make sure it's the latest. If that check passes, have you tried using the Load button?

2) that does seem odd, but what's more odd is that there's an issue with no logs or settings files to back it up...

I can't seem to get this mod to work. Tried blacklisting bodies but it doesn't seem to do anything. I've saved the setting and clicked "start sorting" but it's still showing contracts for Kerbin, which I blacklisted.

[silverfox8124]

@Solestis, odd, your report seems to be lacking an output log and a certain settings file.

@Solestis, odd, your report seems to be lacking an output log and a certain settings file.

Well, I didnt figure I'd need the logs and such already as I thought I was just doing it wrong. But here goes:

Settings: Link

Output_log: Link

I figured it out myself though from these logs, apparently the "Edit All" button doesnt actually change all the Contract types at the same time as I expected.

You didnt need to be snarky btw, that was just rude.

[silverfox8124]

@Solestis, I've had plenty of people come to the thread, say stuff is not working, then peace out. It makes it very difficult on my end to work out what the problem is and how exactly to fix it. To clarify, I was not being snarky, just sort of fed up with the amount of issues and error reports that lack proper documentation to help me help you.

The bigger issue is you say that the edit all button doesn't save all the info for the contract types, which is very odd.

Looking further into the settings file is shows that you have Kerbin as a blocked string, instead of a blocked body.

Also a lot of contracts are being deleted because of max funds being set too low. Have you tried upping the maximum funds?

Also also, your output log isn't showing the log lines for saving all contract types, which in order to save them, you hit the "close" button on the GUI for the edit all types window. That triggers the saving.

I tried both, but both didnt work, thats why it might have shown up in blocked string list.

Also also, your output log isn't showing the log lines for saving all contract types, which in order to save them, you hit the "close" button on the GUI for the edit all types window. That triggers the saving.

Well thats a rather counterintuitive way of saving. You'd think the actual "save" button did the saving, and thats what I've been trying it with. Oddly enough, by not using the "close" button, and using only the save button, it did however remember the setting in the GUI. As in, I close the plugin GUI, or go to another filter category and I come back and the blacklisted body is still there. But it doesnt seem to be applied. Anyway, ill try it with the close button and see if it does anything. You might wanna change the Close button to something like: APPLY & CLOSE.

[silverfox8124]

@Solestis, duly noted on the Apply and Close, there was this sort of issue before where I had a separate save button in the gui for saving all types and closing the GUI by accident could remove data and such, it was a mess and I just ended up with when you close the edit all gui it saves all the type data.

In my case, I noticed that it's filtering the Plant Flag contracts. It doesn't matter if I set all the numbers to minimum of 0 and maximum of 10 million, or even minimum of minus 10 million. As soon as I click the "Start Sorting" button, the Plant Flag contracts go away.

[silverfox8124]

@LeandroTLZ, I need your settings file and an output log please.

[LeandroTLZ]

What file names and where are they located, exactly?

Wording.

[silverfox8124]

the output log is under KSP_Data in your KSP folder, and the settings.cfg is located under ContractFilter's folder in Gamedata

[LeandroTLZ]

Alright, I loaded the same save file I listed above, clicked "Start Sorting" so the flag contract would disappear, then quit the game completely, and grabbed the files:

http://patch.savecoh.com/output_log.txt

http://patch.savecoh.com/settings.cfg

[silverfox8124]

@LeandroTLZ, I've looked through the files and the settings file says that the PlantFlag type is not blocked. CF is also removing the Plant Flag contracts because of the Funds Given for Completion are too low. Raise that number and the problem should go away.

[LeandroTLZ]

Didn't help. The contract in the save gives 145000 funds for completion. I set the minimum on everything set to 0, and the maximum set to 10000000 and seen here: http://imgur.com/a/dlhSC

It is still filtering it out as soon as I click "Start Sorting". Also, clicking the "Save" button doesn't actually save the 10000000 to settings.cfg, it retains the lower values as posted above.

Edit: what did work was for me to load settings.cfg in Notepad and manually set all the contract types to:

minFA: 0
maxFA: 10000000
minFC: 0
maxFC: 10000000
minFF: 0
maxFF: 10000000
minRC: 0
maxRC: 10000000
minRF: 0
maxRF: 10000000
minSC: 0
maxSC: 10000000
minPar: 0
maxPar: 10000000
minPrstge: 0
maxPrstge: 10000000

And now they are no longer being filtered out. The mod is just not writing or using the numbers from the UI, only the ones it loads from settings.cfg.

Workaround found.

[silverfox8124]

@LeandroTLZ, I will have to take a look into that. Thank you for the report.

[dlrk]

Is this working in 0.5?

[Unknown_Enemy]

** ping **

is there an update for 1.1 ?

[silverfox8124]

maybe lol. When official 1.1 comes out I'll work on updating it.

[MisterFister]

Any plans to host this on Spacedock?  The OP still shows KerbalStuff.  :'(

[SkyRender]

Please let this mod get updated...  Being at the mercy of the randomizer is not fun when all the game generates is the absolute worst kind of contracts, and punishes you for refusing to take on said contracts.  I miss the days when refusing a contract was penalty-free...
