[Mod Request] Contract pack for debris

[genericeventhandler]

Would it be possible to have a recover existing debris contract pack, it picks parts that are marked as debris.

Examples:

• Recover  launcher 1 debris to kerbins surface  (low / high orbit)  (low cash)
• Recover landed debris on Mun/Minmus to Kerbins surface  (medium cash)
• Recover  debris in orbit around xxxxx (high cash)

Rules:

•      Debris must not have a command pod / probe core
•      Debris must not have a docking port

 

What do you guys think?

it would be impossible if you did it from scratch i think modifyng the kerbal rescue would be enghuth

Do I need unity to create contract packs? Because I can't get the correct version of unity without breaking other projects that I am working on.

It's possible. Relatively easy actually.

Regarding low/medium/high cash don't worry about that. KSP automatically scales rewards by body anyway. If you are comfortable with using expressions (basically watered down C#) you can do it in one contract.

No, you don't need Unity. Just a text editor, and Contract Configurator

The only (practical) problem I can see is that recovering debris one at a time is going to get pretty tedious. For that matter, why do we need to recover it? Isn't it enough that it just isn't there any more?

Anyhoo, you've put this as a request, but your second post sounds like you'd like to make it. I could knock this out in about 30 seconds, so I don't mind doing it, but not sure if you are going to do it yourself.

I've had a go, but can't get it to target debris that is already in orbit.  If you can try that would be great

  As for recovering debris, I do it all the time I'm a bit of a neat freak. I have a ship with high isp engines that just sits in orbit grabbing stuff and moving the peri into the atmosphere. Resuply fuel and parachute missions come up with the crew rotation.

Here you go: https://github.com/severedsolo/DebrisRecovery/releases/tag/1.0

License is public domain - basically it will find all debris and select some/all of it (it's random) - you'll be paid about 10k per item deposited. Obviously you need Contract Configurator, it's throwing an exception for me randomly, but I suspect that's because I'm running the dev version. If it happens on a release game report it to nightingale on the Contract Configurator thread.

That is awesome. Thank you!

 

it's probably a divide by zero in the .Random(1, @/debris.count())   if there is no debris.
