Sending data with RemoteTech?


Recommended Posts

Ok, so I am still new to RT and I just set up my first relay system of 4 satellites at 500 km but now I have the issue that whenever I have a science experiment and I try to send it nothing happens. Although I do have connection with 3 comms (DP-10, Com-16 and Com D-T). Doesn't even work on the launchpad... is this a glitch or is there a solution for this?

If you're running RemoteTech, and you have science, and you try to transmit it, one of two things should happen:

  • If everything's good (i.e. you have power, and control of the ship, and a comm link back to KSC), then it should transmit the science.
  • If there's a problem (i.e. one of the above criteria not met), then it should display an error message explaining that you don't have comms, or something.

It should never be the case that simply "nothing happens."  No idea what's going on, unless there's some sort of interaction with another mod that's causing problems.

Do you mean to say that if you do the following:

  • Make a simple ship with a probe core, decent-sized battery, active DP-10 antenna, and a goo unit
  • Launch it
  • Collect science with the goo unit (successfully)
  • When the science dialog comes up, you click the blue "transmit" button

...that nothing happens?  At all?  Not even an error message?

it made the module inoperable but nothing else.

That's quite a list.  :)

I have this vague memory about something involving ScienceAlert (or some other science-related mod) causing some sort of problems with RemoteTech, but I don't remember the details.

It might be worth posting over in the RemoteTech thread, i.e. "I have <situation> and it won't transmit science, instead <thing happens>.  I'm concerned that some other mod I'm running may be causing problems.  Here's what I'm running:  <list>  Are there any known interoperability problems between RemoteTech and other science-related mods that could cause this?"  I bet someone there would know.

Nope I originally thought it was the thing I fixed, but then I realized OP is talking about science experiment. My fix is only about orbital survey and mobile lab problems. So I think it's a different issue, and could be SA.

I don't believe this is ScienceAlert, it's just a RT bug that Peppie hasn't fixed but there is a community dll.

Hmm that didn't work, I'll delete a bunch of mods I guess.
