Remote Tech Help


Recommended Posts

I've posted this in the RT forum page but they are a little slow getting back to me so I'm going to post it here also.

None of my antennas are transmitting data. I found this out because I was trying to do an ore scan and I got a message telling me that I did not have an antenna that could transmit the data. As far as I know, I do not have any mods installed that conflict with RT but I went ahead and put a clean copy of KSP on my hard drive and tested with RT not installed, RT with the packaged MM version, and then RT with the old MM removed and the new version installed. All of the tests with RT installed resulted with the Data Transmission Module not there. When uninstalled, the module was back.

This is a snip from a .cfg for the RT antennas from the MM files in the RT-

@PART[RTLongAntenna2]:FOR[RemoteTech]

{

%TechRequired = largeElectrics

@MODULE[ModuleAnimateGeneric]

{

%allowManualControl = false

}

%MODULE[ModuleRTAntenna] {

%Mode0OmniRange = 0

%Mode1OmniRange = 5000000

%MaxQ = 3000

%EnergyCost = 0.6

%DeployFxModules = 0

%TRANSMITTER {

%PacketInterval = 0.3

%PacketSize = 2

%PacketResourceCost = 15.0

}

}

%MODULE[ModuleSPUPassive] {}

}

It shows that the Transmitter is there

This is the .cfg for the Communotron 88-88.

PART

{

name = commDish

module = Part

author = NovaSilisko

mesh = model.mu

scale = 1

rescaleFactor = 1

node_stack_bottom = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0

node_attach = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0

TechRequired = electronics

entryCost = 3400

cost = 1100

category = Science

subcategory = 0

title = Communotron 88-88

manufacturer = Ionic Symphonic Protonic Electronics

description = The Communotron High-Gain Antenna, model 88-88 allows for long-range, high-speed communication.

attachRules = 1,1,0,0,0

mass = 0.025

dragModelType = default

maximum_drag = 0.2

minimum_drag = 0.2

angularDrag = 2

crashTolerance = 7

maxTemp = 2000 // = 3000

PhysicsSignificance = 1

bulkheadProfiles = size0, srf

MODULE

{

name = ModuleAnimateGeneric

animationName = dish

isOneShot = false

startEventGUIName = Extend

endEventGUIName = Retract

actionGUIName = Toggle Antenna

allowAnimationWhileShielded = False

}

MODULE

{

name = ModuleDataTransmitter

packetInterval = 0.10

packetSize = 2

packetResourceCost = 20.0

requiredResource = ElectricCharge

DeployFxModules = 0

}

}

It has the name as ModuleDataTransmitter. Could the problem be that the MM file has it named wrong?
