[Minimum KSP version - 1.12] Kerbal Inventory System (KIS) v1.29

[Tonka Crash]

@MigBarSan KIS has issues with parts that change crew capacity. It creates the seat inventories based on the initial crew capacity listed in the config file which is usually the deflated state. The inflatable airlock is 0 crew deflated so as far as KIS is concerned there wouldn't be an inventory in the part. 1.19+ has a workaround but I haven't tried this yet and won't be able to until tomorrow morning. You can manually add an inventory for the inflated capacity using the following patch. For something with more seats you would need to copy the pod inventory block for each seat.

@PART[InflatableAirlock]:FINAL
{
	MODULE
	{
		name = ModuleKISInventory
		invType = Pod
	}
}

@MigBarSan EDIT: I thought I'd posted this yesterday. The patch above didn't work. Initially it looked like it worked, but moving a guy in and out with multiple inflation/deflation cycles got KIS "confused" and it ended up stripping the parts in inventory off the Kerbal. They just disappeared and KIS was throwing exceptions. It's something I'd flagged as a bug a couple months ago and IgorZ thought he'd fixed. Maybe it's because this part started at zero crew. The workaround I've been using on another part is to just set the deflated crewcapacity equal to the inflated capacity with a patch. It's a hack, but it works.

So I continue to chip away at this project.

Created a little GhostParts.cfg MM patch that creates a new part and hides the original [AKI GolfClub]. Will post if it works.

Spoiler

// creates duplicate part without the space in the name
+PART[AKI?GolfClub]:FOR[SurfaceExperimentPack]
{
	@name = SEPGolfClub
	@cost = 25	// instead of 250 - unless it is Gold Plated and Tungsten signed by the great Kack Kicklaus himself 
}

// hides original part (so doesn't break saves)
@PART[AKI?GolfClub]:NEEDS[SurfaceExperimentPack]
{
	@TechRequired = Unresearchable
	@category = none
}

// zer0Kerbal

this should work.

Found out that patching @KISConfig means using LIFO, so if patching multiple sections, say EvaInventory (slots) and PodInventory, need to put them in upside down order compared to how they appear in original KISConfig (seemingly).

This brings me to the next question: is there a way to put a stack of a stackable item instead of multiple individual items? See patch below. Instead of listing three lines for ExSurveyState, is there a way to have a stack of 3 ExSurveyStakes added?

 

Spoiler

@KISConfig
{ @Editor
  { @PodInventory
    {
        addToAllSeats = ExMallet
        addToAllSeats = ExSurveyStake
        addToAllSeats = ExSurveyStake
        addToAllSeats = ExSurveyStake
    }
  }
}

Instead of :FOR you should use :NEEDS probably with a :FINAL. :FOR is really reserved for the mod author and signals to MM that the mod exists and creates a point in the patch process so :BEFORE and :AFTER can be used to target patches around the mod. :NEEDS indicates the patch should only run if the mod is found. The patches order shouldn't matter. MM applies them in order they are read. It may help if you run your patch with :FINAL so it applies after all other patches. By using the :FOR when your patch applies may be creating timing issues.

I've never seen a way to specify adding a stack of parts to an inventory through a patch. One option is to just increase the number of slots in the Inventory popup window.

@KISConfig:FINAL 
{
    // slotsX & slotsY represent number of slots in inventory pop-ups. By
    // default these can be restrictive. Easy to fill slots before mass or
    // volume limits.

    @EvaInventory // Bump up the seat inventory slots
    {
		@slotsX = 4 // 2
		@slotsY = 4 // 4
    }
}

Thanks - so it has been working, mostly. Creates the copy - but doesn't hide the original. Made the changes you suggested:

	@name = SEPGolfClub
	@cost = 25	// instead of 250 - unless it is Gold Plated and Tungsten signed by the great Kack Kicklaus himself
}

// hides original part (so doesn't break saves)
@PART[AKI?GolfClub]:AFTER[SurfaceExperimentPack]
{
	@TechRequired = Unresearchable
	@category = none
}

// zer0Kerbal

and already are doing other patches for KISConfig; and it only works if you patch them in inverse order of they way the sections are in KISConfig. As far as stacking - how does a stacked part get stored? Maybe addToAllSeats = ELSurveyStake, 3 (would be fun if that worked) .

KISConfig:FINAL - is the FINAL needed? I do so like clean code that follows rules.

below works great. had to increase slots for this as you can see.

@zer0Kerbal The :FINAL isn't required. It's just telling MM to run this patch late in the sequence, so any other patches from mods have run before you do your final changes. Here's a wiki describing the order sequence. It's probably not a big deal in this case, but if you do enough patches, invariably you run into patch ordering problems.

Will the newest version of the mod work with KSP 1.3?

I would say no way. The version of Unity that KSP uses for a game engine changed at 1.4, so it's unlikely any mod compiled for the current version of Unity will run on the version for 1.3.

The user guide is provided as PDF for the offline convenience. If you only edit it, it won't get reflected in the game. You also need to capture each page of the new guide as DDS and store the pages in the part's definition folder. And if your new guide has different number of pages, you also need to adjust "page" property in the part config. Btw, the long term plan for the manual was to implement it as a Kspedia topic. If you could do it, it would be a great deal!

Is this still an open item?? At the moment I am trying to create some pages for myself.
I could try to convert the PDF manual to KSPedia

It's still open. If you come up with something you can submit a PR at github to add it. Though it might be worth waiting to see what the next game update does to break KIS since it looks like it includes at least inventory management as stock.

was thinking that was well - KIS/KAS - mostly because of the surface experiments just announced for the 30 May DLC.

[dlrk]

Is the new version backwards compatible to 1.6.1?

[Zero_sum]

is the KIS/KAS combo working with the recent update, for some unknown reason i can load tools/parts into slots in the VAB, but i can't access the tools the Kerbal is supposed to have when i exit the vesel. in the menu when i select the kerbal to bring up inventory its not on the list. 

[Tonka Crash]

@Zero_sum KIS 1.20 and KAS 1.3 are working fine on KSP 1.7. I've been using both daily since 1.7 released. Mods that rely on Legacy functions may not work as intended with these later versions.

Look through the Troubleshooting wiki to make sure you have KIS installed correctly. Otherwise you need to provide some logs for people here to take a look at:

I don't know what you are asking? Is KIS in English? Yes, most if not every mods is. It's also has localizations for Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese.

so on the equip aliases do you have to have aliashead or can you just use Head.        

 alias = aliasHead,**/bn_upperJaw01
 alias = leftHandWrist,**/bn_1_elbow_b01

and is there a list of equippable slots and kerbal bones anywhere? 

and did this module ModuleKISItemEvaTweaker get replaced by this module ModuleKISItemAttachTool ?

I found this post with a list of all bones (if it's still current). This page describes how KIS uses aliases with them. The aliases are defined in KIS/settings.cfg. Not sure what you mean by "equippable slots" The alias statements are just creating shorthand names for the bones and from the the wiki page must start with the string alias. I'm guessing it simplifies parsing the string to know it's an alias.  And, that should be a lowercase L in bn_l_elbow_b01. It looks like you have the number 1 in your post. 

ModuleKISItemEvaTweaker adjusts Kerbal movement attributes, like run/walk speeds.

ModuleKISItemAttachTool (no wiki) controls the types of attachment (surface/node) a tool can perform and the sounds associated with the tool.

Where it gets interesting (or confusing) is these are both extended from ModuleKISItem, so any settings for ModuleKISItem can also be included with either ModuleKISItemEvaTweaker or ModuleKISItemAttachTool. 

[COL.R.Neville]

okay thanks man i appreciate it.

i would think being in the alias id should id it as an alias hehe. but good to know that you have to use aliaswhatever for it to work. 

except that for some reason the evatweaker module doesnt seem to be working anymore. well at least in the context of attaching items to a evakerbal. 

im trying to get all my kerbalhacks omni tools and holo visor etc working again. 

equippable slots. 

MODULE
    {
        name = ModuleKISItemAttachTool
        shortcutKeyAction = equip
        equipable = true
        stackable = true
        equipSlot = rightHand
        equipBoneName = aliasRightPalm
        equipPos = (-0.15,0.022,0.01)
        equipDir = (0,90,15)
        toolPartAttach = true
        toolStaticAttach = false
        toolPartStack = true
        attachPartSndPath = KIS/Sounds/attachScrewdriver
        detachPartSndPath = KIS/Sounds/detachScrewdriver
        allowPartAttach = Disabled
    }

so ive found rightHand so far im guessing there is a leftHand too but.... hehe 

I need stuff like lefteye righteye or is it eyeballLeft etc....

this is the old evatweaker which used to work but doesnt anymore.

MODULE
    {
        name = ModuleKISItemEvaTweaker
        shortcutKeyAction = equip
        equipable = true
        equipSlot = leftHandWrist
        equipMeshName = body01
        equipBoneName = bn_l_elbow_b01
        equipPos = (-0.15,0.022,0.01)
        equipDir = (0,90,15)
    }

so the above no longer works but this seems to 

MODULE
    {
        name = ModuleKISItemAttachTool
        shortcutKeyAction = equip
        equipable = true
        stackable = true
        equipSlot = rightHand
        equipBoneName = aliasRightPalm
        equipPos = (-0.15,0.022,0.01)
        equipDir = (0,270,15)
        toolPartAttach = true
        toolStaticAttach = false
        toolPartStack = true
        attachPartSndPath = KIS/Sounds/attachScrewdriver
        detachPartSndPath = KIS/Sounds/detachScrewdriver
        allowPartAttach = Disabled
    }

 

 

 

[Tonka Crash]

For Equip Slots I found the following list in the code:   leftHand rightHand jetpack eyes helmet

Quote

MODULE
    {
        name = ModuleKISItemEvaTweaker
        shortcutKeyAction = equip
        equipable = true
        equipSlot = leftHandWrist
        equipMeshName = body01
        equipBoneName = bn_l_elbow_b01
        equipPos = (-0.15,0.022,0.01)
        equipDir = (0,90,15)
    }

The problem with this block is directly addressed in the wiki page about alias. The equipMeshName and equipBoneName are replaced with the equpBoneName = aliasname

• [Fix #89] Portable containers revert to previous content when dropped.
• [Fix #328] KIS fails on every new DLC or major patch that changes kerbal models.

The Breaking Ground DLC is about to be released.  It includes an inventory system in the stock game.  I wonder how that may impact the need for KIS.  If KIS is no longer needed, can we still use KAS?

sidebar:  I cross-posted this to the KAS thread as well.
