[jhook777]

[quote name='nightingale']It does concern me - raised [[URL="https://github.com/jrossignol/ContractConfigurator/issues/362"]#362[/URL]]. [s]I'll get back to you and let you know if I need logs or anything (it'll be at least a few days before I look at this one).[/s]

EDIT: Actually, yeah post up a log here or on the linked issue. Since last time it was due to an exception, logs might be helpful here too.[/QUOTE]

Roger that, I'll have it up in about 3 and a half hours.

Sorry for the delay, work ran late.
I've uploaded my Player.log to [url]https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xl8d81acmxwehzw/AABbvgBG1VvYfUnN-UpjOSLTa?dl=0[/url]
edit: fixed link since it didn't point to the correct folder.
Currently there are 3 Volwens in the AC.

^---- contents of my Game Data folder.

Also, the log I uploaded is on a newish save (started over and completed the first few missions to get some data to upload and to ensure save file bloat didn't factor in).
Anything else I can provide, let me know. Also, this mod setup is not perfect: if i connect a craft with an alcor pod and a claw to any other craft (using the claw, docking port, kas pipe thingies, etc) RPM freaks out something fierce. Craft is still flyable but none of the MFDs work unless I quickload (then it goes back to normal). Again, not the biggest of deals since quickloading gets things back to normal.

I did a little play testing (more playing than testing) and couldn't get rid of the clones this time. Went on a bombing run with Jeb and a Volwen engineer, dodged an AIM-9, dropped some GBU's, went sub-orbital on the return trip and called it a day. I recovered the craft from the runway expecting the Volwen clones to be removed but they were still there in the Astronaut complex. This time though, they were the same three; two scientists and an engineer. The engineer had even gained experience. So, now I'm puzzled as it is not consistent behavior. It could be that this is a new save that I've started up and there was something else going on causing them to appear/disappear in the old save...

Hey, Great Mod you have. It's one of the main reasons I keep playing KSP right now.
Anyways, any news on updating for the newest BD Armory version. It would be great to utilize the radar features.

Keep up the good work.

[civilwargeeky]

Hey! I really love this pack and it makes me feel like I'm playing Ace Combat or something every time I load it up. A bug I noticed in the latest version is that, if you have targets you haven't visited yet, the log is spammed with "getObtAtUT result is NaN! and then the UT. If you can fix this spam it would be great! It would also be neat if you could add the features from the new BD Armory, but that's not as big of a deal.

[Hodo]

So far been stuck with the first mission.  It isn't showing me where to get this Volwen cat from and he is nowhere to be found.

 

Edit- I think I figured out the problem.

Hey guys,

First of all let me start by saying I really enjoy this mod! I have a completely separate "Kombat" install just for this and BD Armory and I have a blast with both!

However, I'm a bit concerned about logspam every time I accept one of the KoF missions. As soon as I press accept on any KoF mission I immediately start receiving several Null Ref Exceptions per second.

They all look like this:
[EXC 08:53:16.725] NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
    Part.requestResource (.Part origin, Int32 resourceID, ResourceFlowMode flowMode, Double demand, Int32 requestID)
    Part.RequestResource (Int32 resourceID, Double demand)
    ModuleGenerator.FixedUpdate ()

If I quicksave and quickload the logspam goes away, but it's obviously still concerning, anyone have any idea whats going on?

Thanks in advance!

@Volwen

I've been solely been wanting to play military missions for BDArmory and was excited to come across your mod as it resumed the desire of the an earlier BDArmory military contract pack that was outdated and bugged in new versions. Unfortunately, some of the missions I've completely are not allowing subsequent contracts from showing up, it's like the chain became broken and I can't continue on. There's also the issue that when there's so many contracts in the list, some of the military missions do not show up. Is there a way that I can prioritize the military missions while maintain the progressive mission style? @BahamutoD one thing that frequently was an issue was that even though I annihilated my targets and parts flew everywhere it was nearly impossible to complete objectives because I couldn't destroy the BDWeapon Managers. I ended up dropping the crash tolerance of the weapon manager from 60 to below 30 so that I could complete missions after successful strikes, with the majority of parts having a crash tolerance under 10, 30 seemed reasonable. Not really related, but for some reason I can't get the Cruise Missiles to work in the new mode, whereas they work flawless in Legacy Targeting. Is there a new way to use them?

@Volwen I wouldn't mind adding additional missions to KoF for just myself & brothers that are also obsessed with everything BDArmory. What would I need to do to create more missions? Just duplicate kof12.cfg, rename it kof13.cfg, then change the CONTRACT_TYPE name to kof13, then change the requirement REQUIREMENT contractType to kof12? This would generate an identical mission to kof12, but then I could change the rewards, the failures, I could change the craft file to spawn and the location? How do you find location? Do you just land/drive/walk somewhere on the map and open the debug menu to see the lat, lon & alt? Do rovers move on their own because the BD AI Pilot module was activated when you built the crafts in the SPH or VAH?

BDArmory Best KSP Mod!

Fair enough.  I can reduce the weapon manager's crash tolerance.

As for cruise missiles - they're GPS guided, so you need to acquire GPS coordinates first using the targeting pod, then select the target from the GPS coordinator module, then fire.

[dcompart]

Thanks! I appreciate your continued hard-work on this project while going to school!

BDArmory Best KSP Mod!

Hey dcompart, you might want to check out the documentation for Contract Configurator. It's really extensive, and it helped me learn to create contracts. I totally share your feelings about needing more BDArmory missions, so I've been working on creating my own set of contracts like Volwen's pack. It's really not that hard, feel free to pm me if you have any questions about making military contracts.

Thanks! I've made around 13 missions so far, the problem I'm facing is making sure that the missions aren't overbearing for people's PCs, I have an AMD 295x2, but KSP doesn't seem to be AMD friendly as it is with Nvidia. I've been able to get enemy jets to spawn with their AI modules & engines ignited so that they can automatically take off and shoot me down on spawn so I'm pretty excited! I made the the PirateSwarmMod for Star Citizen, but since they blocked modding I have been itching to work on some other games.

Wow, that's a beast of a a card compared to my Radeon R9 270. Have you figured out how to spawn a vessel with a pre-existing radar link? I'm working on a contract where you destroy a radar tower to leave a nearby base defenseless, but the linkedVesselID field does not seem to do anything, even with radars pre-activated.

[LTRyan]

This missions are fun but way to easy, all of them got no working radars an LR Sams. My RWR reports nothing when flying near them.

[ArtemsChannel]

Please can you send an another link to this mission for 1.0.4? KerbalStuff has shutted down already

[tjsnh]

Is there an updated download link?

[Tortoise]

Any alternatives to this that is updated to 1.0.5 or that we can download?

Well, last I heard @dcompart was doing some contracts of his own. I've been messing around with these types of contracts  too, in fact I might need early testers soon if you are interested.

Kerbin on Fire (KoF) is a military themed contract pack.

[Features]

Kerbin on Fire currently consists of 12 missions that occur within a ~120km radius of the KSC. Two of these missions are aerial combat, where you are approaching a target that is already in the air.

There are 2 types of aircraft with 3 and 6 variants for the player to use, if they are unable or unwilling to create their own in the space plane hangar.

The player is assumed to always be Team A. All enemies are Team B and will automatically fire at you if you are within their angle/range.

The current method used to spawn enemy aircraft above ground level is not perfect. They have no starting velocity, and there is currently no way to have them spawn with one.

Unless requested for future versions, the tech tree is unchanged. There is an additional optional mission offered to provide a boost of science and funds for a player.

[Requirements]

BDArmory

Contract Configurator

[Download]

Kerbalstuff

Extract .zip into \Kerbal Space Program\

The full path should be \Kerbal Space Program\GameData\ContractPacks\KoF

[Plans]

Future updates/plans include:

-Polishing

-More contracts

-More in-air contracts

-Space contracts

-More "Kreigslist" vessels

-Reward balancing

-Tech Tree tweaks

I will be changing contracts around to provide a "cleaner" experience. There are currently no failure conditions for missions. For example: if you are destroyed during an aerial combat mission and quit to space center, the enemy vessel is destroyed by the game for being in the atmosphere and you magically complete the contract. I want the player to be able to fail the contract, and start over by accepting the contract again. Be ready to quicksave/quickload if you want an honest experience.

I hope to be able to have a few contracts that are infinitely repeatable. It depends if I can figure out how to get enemies or packs of enemies to randomly choose one of several locations to spawn at.
