Sigma Binary

[Sigma88]

a little update:

I was able to iron out all the features I want a release of SigmaBinary to contain.

tonight I will add a github pre-release and give people a few days to test it, after that I will release version 1.5 (if no issues are reported I aim to release before the weekend)

@CaptRobau and @KillAshley if you plan to wait before updating your mods to the new SigmaBinary you can put a disclaimer and a temporary link to the 1.4 release on github so that players install the proper version

Does the update fix contracts being generated for the barycenters?

KSP doesn't give me much tools to avoid the generation of those contracts, the only thing I can do for now is avoid "ISRU" contracts from being generated for barycenters. Since now I have added a .dll I will look into the possibility of killing contracts from there, but iirc @nightingale already told me that it wasn't possible to do that in ksp.

this of course excludes contracts generated by his mod, contract configurator, because this mod already excludes barycenters from the list of bodies it uses when generating contracts

Wait, did something change while I have been gone?

well, I don't know when you "went" but it's a couple of weeks that a pre-release is available with an experimental SigmaBinary.dll plugin

When I went was probably just before you did that experimental version - I quit Kopernicus for a while.

And a .dll? That is certainly different.

It was the next logical step to take, no more need for template.cfg files and a much more potential for the future of the mod.

So I'm gonna test this over the next few days, how does the mod work now? Do you add like, SigmaPrimary to the cfg of the primary or does it do it automatically?

you just need to add an empty node called SigmaBinary to the secondary body.

so to get Duna-Ike binary the code would be:

@Kopernicus:AFTER[Kopernicus]
{
	@Body[Ike]
	{
		SigmaBinary {}
	}
}

there are other options available, I think I made a post a few days ago, you should find it in this or the previous page

Thank you!

Sigma Binary v1.4.9.beta2 Pre-Release

The new Pre-Release is uploaded

https://github.com/Sigma88/Sigma-Binary/releases/tag/v1.4.9.beta2

 

This is basically the finished product, I will let it stay a pre-release for a couple of days just to make sure there are no issues, and then I will make a proper release.

 

-IMPORTANT-

this pre-release requires:

Kopernicus version 0.6.3 [forum thread]
ModuleManager version 2.6.20 [direct download] [forum thread]

Edited March 30, 2016 by Sigma88

Kinda stupid question, but how do you add a barycenter to all moons around planets but not planets/stars around Kerbol in a single node?

KSP is not really designed to work with barycenters, so I wouldn't advise to add more that a barycenter per planet.

Also, if we are talking stock system, barycenters are useless basically anywhere except for duna-ike.

All the other moons are too light compared to their planets so you wouldn't even notice the difference.

 

If you still want to try, just for thr kick of it, I can pm you a cfg, but if everything breaks badly don't say I didn't warn you

Can you send me your modulemanager cache file?

And also the output.log file you can find in KSP_Data

@RA3236

ok, first issue was that you were using :FINAL

using :BEFORE[SigmaBinary] is fine

 

for the rest I need to see the whole log and mm cache.

I changed it before you said that and got the error above, but now I am waiting on the damm browser to load the text for the cache. The error is there too.

I just noticed you have a ton of barycenters on the same primary body, that's not a good idea

try limiting the system to 1 barycenter for each primary

 

so basically, remove Minmus, and choose which one you want to keep between

the jool moons
