help for a complete coding noob

[jtn191]

What I want to do: play around with the source of WheelSounds at https://github.com/pizzaoverhead/WheelSounds/blob/master/WheelSounds/WheelSounds.cs and change the equation which changes the pitch to something like the Sigmoid Curve or Logistic function.

I searched all around Google to see how to get Unity to understand a logistic function and somebody posted:

"position =10/(1+Math.Exp(-t);"

So I'm trying to change this:

WheelSound.audio.pitch = (float)(Math.Sqrt(averageRpm)) / 13;

Into something like this:

WheelSound.audio.pitch = (float)10/(1+Math.Exp(-averageRpm);

Can someone explain to me why this won't work?? When I drag the DLL over to the plugin folder (even if I change the name) the rover wheel sounds go away completely.

I'm using Xamarin Studio. When I "build" it outputs a total of 14 files, including DLL files and NLP.

Just to clarify, the line of code should look exactly like this (the missing brackets above is annoying me...)

WheelSound.audio.pitch = (float)[COLOR=#ff0000]([/COLOR]10 / (1 + Math.Exp(-averageRpm)[COLOR=#ff0000]))[/COLOR];

You only need to move the .dll specific to the mod. When adding references in Visual Studio, you have to change the copy local field to false to get rid of the majority of the rubbish. I assume there's something similar in Xamarin.

You should also be moving it to overwrite the .dll shipped by the mod in question, which will be in GameData/<insertModFolder> or one of it's subdirectories. DO NOT put it in the <KSPInstall>/Plugins folder and DO NOT have the old and new .dll both inside GameData.

Still not working...my DLL's are 4 kb while the released one is 7kb, don't know if that explains anything. Should I be referencing the ModuleManager.DLL or anything?

It would help if you posted your output_log. Hard to tell why you dll is not working without any info.

I think this is the output_log:

That was not the log I wanted but I see that your build target is .NET 4.5. For KSP you need to build for .NET 3.5

Ok, this tells me I need .NET 4.0? http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Setting_up_MonoDevelop. Can somebody walk me through setting up Xamarin?
