[1.12.x] IndicatorLights Community Extensions v1.6.2: Compatibility patches for IndicatorLights

[KSPrynk]

@UnanimousCoward, @Snark, there's a small graphics bug for the ReStock version of the RA-100, in ILCE v1.6.  I believe it's leftover from a previously reported error in the ReStock GitHub Issues page here:

https://github.com/PorktoberRevolution/ReStocked/issues/608

I'm seeing the same glitch: the light is hanging in mid-air, above the antenna.

EDIT: It looks like both the 1.25m and compact antenna part switch variants of the light may be getting loaded, regardless of the variant selected OR the smaller tip light is just a legacy light that needs to be blocked off from loading.  The relatively large light on the compact variant seems to be positioned correctly, but the tip light on the 1.25m variant gets placed about a meter high.  I think the compact variant light is partially sticking out the bottom of the antenna tip (looks like a ring) on the 1.25m variant, which may have been by design, and supports my theory that the hanging light wasn't supposed to load.

I'm using KSP 1.7.3 x64 on Win10.  Tried on a clean install with just ReStock v0.1.4, IL v1.5, ILCE v1.6, and MM v4.0.2.

I noticed that the Indicator Lights patch for ReStock was changing the scale of the small radial battery.  As nice as it is to be able to fit loads of them on a small probe, I don't think it's the intent of this mod to change the underlying models.  I've submitted a Pull request on GitHub to patch this, hope you find it useful!

Hey @Snark, I was checking several mods yesterday if I missed some important one that would fit my game play and came along the Curvus mod (another 2 Kerbal pod), seems it doesn't have indicator lights for it, and I couldn't find a config in the community extensions either. Do you by chance know if there's already a config for it? And if not: would it be helpful if I create one? The mod is still maintained, afaik, should I contact the mod author and ask if he's fine with me creating a config for IL? Just asking to avoid any potential hazard (I came along another thread with kind of heated discussion regarding modding, you know that particular thread, I want to avoid such "disturbances", naturally)

There's certainly not a config for it in this mod (yet).

FYI, there's a list of supported mods in the OP of this thread, which I make a point of keeping up to date. So if you're ever wondering whether a particular mod is supported or not, you can just check that list.

Anyway, that's the answer for this mod. I have no way of knowing whether someone may have created such config elsewhere, of course, but I'm guessing not.

Absolutely! The more, the merrier. If you make a config for it, please provide it to me so I can incorporate it here.

No, that shouldn't be necessary. It's just a 3rd party compatibility patch and therefore shouldn't discommode the mod author in any way.

Yes, and kudos for your caution.

However, that topic regards people forking and releasing the mod itself (which does affect the modder, which is the source of the kerfuffle). You're not doing that; you're just talking about producing a 3rd party thing that happens to work with it, which doesn't interfere with it in any way and is released separately. Therefore, not a concern in this case.

Question: despite having all science from the crew report at the launchpad, a freshly launched pod still has the lights blinking as if there'd be some science to get. After I do a crew report (collecting 0.0 science), the lights act normal. Any idea what's going on here?

Looks pretty good, but can you please include, 1. a link to the release thread for that mod, and 2. a "NEEDS" directive so that this config won't be active until/unless the relevant mod is installed?

@VoidSquidHave several mods that are screaming for the IndicatorLights treatment

MoreHitchhikers for example - and many others. Are you game?

also have several pods coming out shortly as well (Yarbrough08, DuoPods, LanderTek, etc).

Then there is MoreCupolas, and MoreGreenhouses...

Pretty sure you're overestimating my abilities, I've never done any proper programming (just some scripting), I can't model, never used Blender, I'm not very familiar with MM syntax, and so on.

That said, sure, if I can help, I'll happily do so, provided I can find time for it. Deal?

Alright then.

After a few sessions fiddling with Blender and getting used to MM syntax issues, I've managed to throw together a quick set of patches for the Kerbonov (continued) mod. This covers adding crew indicators to the Kn-2 and Kn-7 cockpits, the 1-person passenger can, and a transmitting indicator to the VHF antenna. I basically copied patches for other similar components, and changed part names and position values. That's how we do it, right?

The Kerbonov antenna has *two* similar lighted parts on the model, so I suppose a second indicator light could be added to perform a different function, but I didn't pursue that *yet*.

//Add an indicator (replace one of the bulbs) on the VHF antenna. The other bulb is left as a static "light" element on the model that does not function. Possibly cover that with an additional indicator for available data to transmit? whether it has power?

The biggest bit of learning curve was Blender itself, but once I got used to the controls, it was pretty simple to navigate around. I can imagine that trying this in the versions before the 2.8 beta would have been far more "interesting."

Also, much respect for @UnanimousCoward for cranking through this process for so many of the the restock(+) parts.

 

Mini *ping* for @Snark -- the above configs for the Kn-2 pods are effectively complete.

Pretty sure you're overestimating my abilities, I've never done any proper programming (just some scripting), I can't model, never used Blender, I'm not very familiar with MM syntax, and so on.

That said, sure, if I can help, I'll happily do so, provided I can find time for it. Deal?

All good and no programing needed. Just someone with the patience to stick a few lights on here and there.

[VoidSquid]

Will do when I find time, maybe the next days, and if not: I've holidays next week

well, @VoidSquid did most of it along with the stock patch (which does the heavy lifting)

and now the hard part, subtracting when the MHH has < four seats and adding with the MHH has > four seats.

Hey @zer0Kerbal, if you can give me a raw MM script that *somehow* (your job, hehe) romoves the cloned ILs, I'll be happy to adjust the individual IL indicators (my part), ok?

The two pods I made IL configs for were stand-alone parts, not cloned/copied, much easier for someone (me) who's not proficient with MM syntax, I just spent some time to position the ILs properly. This beast aka More Hitchhikers starts with

+PART[crewCabin]:NEEDS[KGEx/MoreHitchhikers]:FOR[MoreHitchhikers]

read: cloning, and I seriously don't know how to proceed with my part.

seems I need to change how several models are scaled, and release an update for MHH first., however:
this works (once I update the base model).

Looks like when installing the latest Restock mod, having this also installed causes the Science Experiment container geometry to vanish. The indicator lights are still there, floating in space. Removing either Restock or this mod causes it to to return. Having both installed causes it to bug out. IndicatorLights itself, is fine.

Was just coming here to say this...

 

@Beetlecat found the issue here:

Yup -- ILCE has a typo when defining the storage unit; it's missing a "-1" at the end of the name. It should look like here in IndicatorLights_Restock.cfg (at line #857)

//Science Box
@PART[ScienceBox]:AFTER[ReStock]:NEEDS[IndicatorLights]
{
	-MODEL,* {}
	MODEL
	{
		model = ReStock/Assets/Science/restock-sciencebox-radial-1
	}

 

I've tested this and it works

Thanks! forgot to post it here, too. I opened an issue in git, in case Snark sees it there first.

[gunt3rgam3r]

@Beetlecat thanks for the fix on the Science box.  Just installed this mod in my save and that is exactly what I needed.  

I think there may be another bug, In my save all the z-100 batteries were shrunk down in size by about half.  They are about the size of a pressure sensor now.  I am  looking through the code, but haven't found the error yet.

wow! Thanks for that hint/clue. I was playing through some Unkerbaled Start early missions, and noticed that the batteries were tiny and able to fit into a sounding rocket-sized bay no problem -- not realizing this was totally in error.

Just to check -- are you also using Restock?

Edited February 14, 2020 by Beetlecat

[gunt3rgam3r]

Yep using restock, but not using restock+.  Indicator lights and the patches mod are the only thing that chnged the error is most likely in the community patches mod.

There's an odd chance of that, for sure. and possibly a weird interaction w/tweakscale. I usually have that installed, too.

I don't have tweakscale installed in my save.

Found a fix:

Spoiler

// Small radial battery
@PART[batteryPack]:AFTER[ReStock]:NEEDS[IndicatorLights]
{
    -MODEL,* {}
    MODEL
    {
        model = ReStock/Assets/Electrical/restock-battery-radial-small-1
        position = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0
        scale = 1,1,1
        rotation = 0, 0, 0
    }

If you reset the scale to 1,1,1 in the ReStock.cfg file for the community patches the battery size is now correct.
