Ok, I have it, but I'm not going to do another release right now, working on something else.  Besides, I think you should take that config out of the file so there won't be conflicts

For now, just put the following in a file:

@PART[O_seat]:HAS[@MODULE[KerbalSeat]]:FOR[TakeCommand]
{
	CrewCapacity = 1
	MODULE
	{
		name = TakeCommand
		minimumCrew = 1
	}
}

and when i do the next release, delete it.

Thanks, looks good.  will be in the next release, in a day or so

Great.no rush, i just release an update too.

@linuxgurugamer - just a heads up that Take Command and Vessel Movers' Spawn Vessel function aren't playing nicely with each other

REPLICATION STEPS

Launch vessel with command seat and Kerbal appears in seat ... Spawn vessel with command seat using VM and no kerbal is in the seat ... place spawned craft on ground (still no kerbal) ... press escape and exit to space center ... click on craft missing kerbal and choose to fly it ... kerbal is in seat now

If you instead select the original launched craft and choose to fly it, the craft that was spawned with vessel mover will still not have a kerbal in the command chair ... you must choose to fly the vessel missing the kerbal in order for the kerbal to be placed in the command chair

It appears that there is a kerbal assigned to a spawned vessels' command chair, however the KSP craft loading system is currently the only way to get the kerbal to appear in the chair (VM uses a different means to load craft than KSP does) ... switching to a vessel in scene doesn't materialize a kerbal either

Amazing job by the way ... Take Command is an invaluable mod

That is really strange, especially since the spawned kerbal in the VM vessel wasn't even selected.

actually, if you place a probe, then use VM to spawn a vessel with a command seat, place spawned craft on ground (still no kerbal) ... press escape and exit to space center ... click on craft missing kerbal and choose to fly it ... kerbal is in seat now

I'm going to call this a VM bug, since spawning a craft should not have any crew there already.

Will post in the VM thread

The way it used to work in 1.0.5 was when you spawned a craft with a command seat that Take Command would spawn a kerbal in the seat ... This was relied upon for the BAD T2 competition as @tetryds and I would have had a difficult time loading each kerbal into the planes for each of the battles

I have brought it up with the rest of the BDAc team to see if we can find a fix

 

[linuxgurugamer]

1.4.5 released:

• - Added patch for Omicron
• - Added patch form Kerbonov-KN2

[Climberfx]

Downloading, and updating Omicron...

Up to 96... new CPU and ram... addons increasing exponentially... a high percentage of these are from @linuxgurugamer

wrong thread

[linuxgurugamer]

I believe the kerbal is internal, therefore not visible.

I'll have to see if I can disable internal transfers like that.

To get the kerbal back, dock with it and do another transfer back

What other mods do you have installed?  Specifically for the internal crew transfers

Edited January 9, 2017 by linuxgurugamer

[linuxgurugamer]

The next release of Take Command will be disabling the internal transfers to external seats.

It will also have patches for the EVA Parachutes for all known external command seats.

 

[linuxgurugamer]

New release: 1.4.6

• - Updated all patches to add EVA Parachute if that mod is installed
• - removed BetterCrewAssignment (can't do internal transfer to external seat)
• - Moved cfg for stock external command seat to ModuleManager directory
• - Fixed code so that KSP won't try to transfer a kerbal into/outof an external seat
• - Added AssemblyVersion code

Bundled Module Manager is out of date (2.7.4)

[Climberfx]

Hey @linuxgurugamer. I still having a minor problem with the status on seats with my Omicron Seats. I put the right code on the parts, like Stock seat is, the Kerbals start right on the seat but even if i leave seat and seat again, the status for that seat still keep on "Not enough Crew 0/1".

 

 

Is there a way that you fix that? Thank you any way for your attention!

cheers!

So get the correct one.  I don't rebuild and re-release just because MM is updated.
