How can I find the amount of 'lab data points' an experiment will produce?

[SixHourDays]

Ah ModuleScienceLab, how you torment me so.

I'd like to get the 'lab data points' for a particular ScienceData, but neither the ScienceData nor the ModuleScienceLab will provide it to me.

[LIST]
[*]KSP 1.0.4
[*]ship is a lab in orbit of Kerbin
[*]1 scientist in the lab
[*]we have a low-space goo Science Data
[*]that data is in the Goo, and [I]has not[/I] been copied to the lab
[*]there are no resource concerns: adequate power, lab has room to accept data, etc.
[/LIST]

The data is worth 20 pts of science, and 25 pts of 'lab copy data'. I'd like to programmatically get that 25.
I checked the ScienceData.labValue (this seems like a relatively new member), but it's zero.
I checked ModuleScienceLab.GetBoostForData(ScienceData d), but it's also zero.

How can I retrieve the lab data points for a Science Data & Lab?

You know, funny thing is that I haven't really messed with the mobile lab since before 1.0 and didn't even notice they changed things around on me. I don't know why those methods were left in, they seem to be returning placeholder values now

This should do the trick (written for 1.0.5 but should work for 1.0.4):
[code]private static float CalculateLabData(Vessel vessel, ScienceData data)
{
if (vessel == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("vessel");
if (data == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("data");

// note to self: apparently every lab returns same score, so I
// guess it doesn't matter which we use?
//
// ps: the various multipliers are KSPFields so there's a potential for a best
// candidate still if somebody tweaks them. Not going to deal with that now
var lab = vessel.FindPartModulesImplementing<ModuleScienceLab>()
.FirstOrDefault();
var subject = ResearchAndDevelopment.GetSubjectByID(data.subjectID);

if (lab == null || subject == null) return 0f;

var refValue = ResearchAndDevelopment.GetReferenceDataValue(data.dataAmount, subject) * HighLogic.CurrentGame.Parameters.Career.ScienceGainMultiplier;

return Mathf.Round(GetScienceLabMultiplier(lab, subject) * refValue);
}

private static float GetScienceLabMultiplier(ModuleScienceLab lab, ScienceSubject subject)
{
var multiplier = 1f;

// lab can't process data twice
if (lab.ExperimentData.Any(storedId => storedId == subject.id)) return 0f;

if (lab.vessel.Landed)
multiplier *= 1f + lab.SurfaceBonus;

if (subject.id.Contains(lab.vessel.mainBody.bodyName))
multiplier *= 1f + lab.ContextBonus;

if ((lab.vessel.Landed || lab.vessel.Splashed) &&
ReferenceEquals(FlightGlobals.GetHomeBody(), lab.vessel.mainBody))
multiplier *= lab.homeworldMultiplier; // lack of addition intended

return multiplier;
}[/code]
Let me know if you find a bug in there, it looks eyeball right but I haven't tested it extensively yet

Thanks so much! I didn't think Squad would make me put this in explicitly...foolish me.

Your code looks about right, except the 'grounded' case should be Landed || Splashed for both if statements.

Also, can I hug you? HighLogic.CurrentGame.Parameters.Career.ScienceGainMultiplier has been sitting in my code as "float m_hackICantFind = 2f;" for about 3 months now! It feels SOOOO good to know where the blazes that number comes from, finally!

Thanks so much for your help.

I did a double-take on that line too, but I used my binoculars to write that method and that's how the game calculates it for some reason
