[1.12.x] Kerbal Launch Failure Revived

Are you sure it was Kerbal Launch Failure and not Dang It!  ?  KLF doesn't do anything after launch.

Positive, Dang-it not installed and it was the whoop-whoop and flashing warning button of the tool bar to alerted me. I have my max time before failure set to 300 in the KLF settings - would that mean there is still has a change to effect craft even though I'm well in orbit?

This mod is killing me!

The stress!

And it hasnt even worked yet!  I don't even know if it is working!  (Running 1.3.1, seems to be)

Coming up on my 50th launch or so, so I know I'm due...

-I know the probabilities, 1 in 50 chance of failure, not every 50th launch.  But can you imagine if it was every 50th launch?    Jeb would be first in line every 50th.  

 

So feature request:  A button in the settings that enables a guaranteed failure.

 

Thanks for all the work LGG!

Just increase the probabilities in the settings to 100%

All setting on lowest? What do i need to turn them to to get this to work?

Make them higher, the higher they are, the more chance of a failure

Ok I thought they were supposed to be at 5% based on your first post.

 

turned to 100% and was getting failures.

How does this work with aircraft does it keep re-rolling the chance for failure since I’m in atmosphere or is it a one time per launch roll?

Once per launch

I need to add a way to disable this for aircraft, not yet sure how to do that

Why?  Aircraft have failures, too.  Plus, it's a great reason to use some sort of ejection/parachute mod.

I love it when I have to make a emergency landing

New release, 0.4.10

• Updated to use latest version of ToolbarController
• Removed option for Blizzy Toolbar (now handled by ToolbarController)
• Added dependency checking

[Cavscout74]

In 1.4.4 with most recent version of Launch Failure, I've had 2 different craft suffer failures in orbit.  Both occurred long after launch - days later in one case - and happened immediately after switching to the craft.  The second one actually caused the command pod to fail, and I had to reload the game as it was stuck at 0 speed at 80 km and the crewmember was gone.  This one occurred immediately after separating a "Pea" pod in preparation for reentry - and the parachute (only other attached part) continued on its trajectory after the pod froze in place.

That is strange, because if you weren't in atmosphere, it won't fail.  However, I can see that if you switched to a vessel in orbit, and then the orbit dipped into the atmosphere, it could possible happen

I did find a problem related to what you described, will release a fix soon.

New release, 0.4.10.1

• Changed timechecks to use vessel.missionTime
• Fixed typo in settings page

n00b question here, other than the altitude disabler, what is the major difference between this and DangIt!?

Dangit never stops, and does more

Guess I'll keep that one then (although the alarms in it about gave me a heart attack the other day, thought my computer was blowing up! )

I can't remember for sure, it's definitely a good chance I was in the upper atmosphere when it happened.  Looking forward to updating it tonight.  Thanks for all your hard work!

I know this has probably already been asked but I can't find it.... Does this mod play nice with Dangit!? Are there very bad side effects from using these side by side? Maybe some recommended settings for using these mods together?

I wouldn't recommend it.  There shouldn't be any significant interaction, but I have no idea what would happen if both decide to fail the same part at the same time.

Ok, I think I have gone away from the Dang it! Idea anyway. I just updated to 1.4.5 and I like it. I am using Oh Scrap along with this (and many more mods). I have had some failures (mostly while simulating with KRASH). I have not had any problems with conflicts so far but I have not played very far in my new save. Are there any known issues with this setup or would it be the same unknows?

[linuxgurugamer]

I'm not aware of any, but I'm not sure hw ScrapYard and Oh! Scrap works with KRASH

[eagle92lightning]

Question. Is this compatible with SSTU?

[kurgut]

hi @linuxgurugamer, starting a new career with KBL on, and I'm not sure I understand all the settings. What I would like is like 10% "global" failure chance, and don't know which slider I need to change (initial, or exp. part).

thanks
