[1.9.x] Better Science Labs Continued

[linuxgurugamer]

New release, 0.2.0

• Updated version file for KSP 1.8

[OrbitalManeuvers]

The file Windows_CopyTextures.bat has the command "pwd" on line 23. Not sure what that is but I don't think it belongs in there? 

[aceman67]

I was doing a rescue mission in LKO, and I happened upon a  MPL-CC-2, which didn't have a hatch for EVA. I didn't have the grabber researched yet, so this was a problem  Cervod Kerman did not make it home :'( 

[COL.R.Neville]

this will keep them from getting put in those pods to begin with. 

 

 

I HATE WHEN THIS STUPID THING MERGES STUFF NOT RELATED>

 

 anybody been seeing NRE's with the science labs? 

i don think it this mod since this is pretty much just cosmetic.

Hello!

 

Sorry to bother, but I am also getting the problem where the smaller pods don't have textures, just a grey blob. I did run the script as described on OP (Windows10) but nothing changed. I do have a lot of mods, including Restock and Restock +, which as I understand it might cause issues.

 

Thanks for any help!

Got a strange issue with the Onion lab whereby it's accepting data, counting it but then when I start research it's showing a rate of 0/day.

Anyone else encountered this? I installed HGR. I don't have any other lab or science mods installed.

Same configuration here, same problem. I've tried a few different things including changing the .restockwhitelist file, but no luck...

[majNUN]

Looking at the config files, it looks like it wants to use texture files from depreciated stock parts. Since those parts are no longer in the game, there are no textures for these lab parts.

[linuxgurugamer]

@guto8797 @majNUNIt would be helpful if you ping me when you report a problem.  Otherwise I have no way to know of any issues.

This is a fairly simple problem, I'll see if I can get it out in a day or so

[linuxgurugamer]

@octal9 @guto8797 @majNUN

This problem was solved 2 years ago, and mentioned prominently on the OP.

There are a couple of scripts in the mod directory:

• BashCopyTextures.sh    (for Linux & Macintosh)
• Windows_CopyTextures.bat   (for Windows)

just double-click on the correct one for the OS you are running.

Same problem. After running bat and copying the texture does not work

New release, 0.2.1

• Added more textures to restock whitelist
• Updated version file for 1.12

[FasterThanFlourite]

@linuxgurugamer, does BetterScienceLabsContinued work for 1.12? The title here says 1.9.x, but you've updated the version file for 1.12?

And when running

 

KSP: unmodded, 1.12.3

Better Science Labs Continued: 0.2.1, installed through CKAN

Error in KSP.log :

There is a script in the directory you have to run.   It's documented in the OP, I'll copy it here:

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for 1.7 and later

In 1.7, the Mk1-2 pod has been deprecated, moved into the zDeprecated directory, and are not directly accessible during loading.

To address this, I've provided a pair of scripts, one to be used on Windows and the other to be used on both Linux & OSX.  These only need to be run one time

Windows Instructions

1. Open the BetterScienceLabsContinued folder in Windows Explorer
2. Double-click on the file Windows_CopyTextures.bat (note that on most systems, you won't see the .bat)

Linux & OSX Desktop Instructions

• Open the BetterScienceLabsContinued folder Desktop 
• Double-click on the file:  BashCopyTextures.sh

Linux & OSX Terminal Instructions

1. Change to the GameData/BetterScienceLabsContinued directory
2. Type the following:
       bash BashCopyTextures.sh

 

[FasterThanFlourite]

Wow, thank you for the near instantaneous reply! Executing the .bat got rid of those error messages.

Instead I get this error message instead:

KSP.log

Can this one be ignored then, @linuxgurugamer?

for now, looks like there may be another missing model, I'll have to look at it later

Hiya @linuxgurugamer, thanks for all you do for the KSP mod community!  This isn't a vitally important question, but I'm curious, does your Space Tux Library overlap with functions in SpacetuxSA, or do they do different things?  I already have the Library installed as a dependency of several of the very many mods you keep alive, but CKAN is telling me Better Science Labs requires SpacetuxSA and warning me it isn't compatible with 1.12.3.  I'm about to override CKAN and tell it to install it anyway, I was just wondering.

Two different things.  SpacetuxSA is the space agency, the library are some utility DLLs.  Ignore the incompatibile warning for that, it is ok, and I just updated the spacedock listing, which should fix that warning soon

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity, the CKAN descriptions don't make the distinction between the two clear, though I see now I could have spared you the bother if I had bothered to look at the readmes on Github before asking.  Lesson learned!  Again, thank you so very much for your efforts keeping all these great mods alive!

no problem, enjoy the mod

New release, 0.2.1.2

• Thanks to github user @KSAMissionCtrl for finding this:
  • Fixed typo in OrionNewScience part (missing brace)
  • Fixed path for the BSLsnackprobe model
  • Fixed model path for J Mobile Lab LP3, short version
  • Updated restock whitelist for the probeStackSphere model
• Updated batch copy scripts to remove unnecessary cfg which  created a duplicate command pod
