[1.12] KSP-RO - Realism Overhaul [16 May 2022]

[Poldi]

I installed Realism Overhaul on a clean 1.3.1 install via CKAN with all it's dependencies. The game loads all the mods and starts without any errors, but I still only see the normal Kerbin System. Is there any config I need to change manually, or what do I need to do to make it work?

solved - thought real solar system was part of the pack

@Theysen hey, does Realism overhaul work with Kerbalism or is that not recommended?

Because both FASA and the various Raidernick packs required it for reflections. FASA has since moved back to the Reflection Plugin and the Raidernick packs now use the TexturesUnlimited PBR-based reflections.

So it's not still needed?

Are there experimental versions for ksp 1.4.3? I would like to help digging out bugs.

RO is entirely config based. The dll file is not actually required and only contains 2 classes which only affect com moving. What NEEDS to be updated is FAR, not RO.

HI!

Not sure it's the right topic...but anyway. I'm trying to do Venus and Mercury missions in RO/RSS on a 1.2.2 install but i have massive issues with heat, wether in space between Venus and Mercury, or even is space near Venus (not to mention in space near Mercury, which i can access only with timewrap then directly explode).

Would it be some kind of bug or are my parts simply not sufficient for the mission?

[cgwhite4]

bob_kelso: That sounds like something RSS specific as opposed to RO specific (unless it is also happening near Eve and Moho with RSS not present).  You probably want to go to the RSS thread to discuss it, but to me, it sounds like you may have a heat tolerance issue with your craft.  Have you tried adding radiator panels or checking for parts with low heat tolerance that could be overheating?  If that does not seem like the problem, best to take this issue to the RSS thread, which I believe would be the appropriate place for it.

[bob_kelso]

OK then  THx for the answer, will ask in the good thread

on a 1.2.2 install

That is the problem. The thermal parameters of Coatl Aerospace in the KSP 1.2 branch of RO are broken and are not accounting for the large heat loads in these areas. You have two options:

• Migrate to KSP 1.3.1 (KSP 1.2.2 is unsupported and many bugs have been since fixed, although RP-0 is still WIP)
• Manually copy and overwrite the KSP 1.3.1 Coatl Aerospace RO configs to your installation (keep the current one and fix the thermal bugs)

this is by far my favorite screenshot in my ksp library

Good question.

[weeble]

Unfortunately kerbalism doesn't work with RO.

A while back before N70 took it over, someone put in a request for the RO team to look into it but afaik nothing came from it. 

It would be awesome if that or kerbalhealth were compatible. Having living space requirements and radiation would be huge.

Hello, I have a question about the SpaceX Launchers Pack mod. It is not working in RO for some reason and all the parts say non RO. Is there a way for the parts to be RO? Can u guys help me fix this problem or no? Thanks  Also if it is another mod i need send me a download link thx.

Seems like latest Launchers Pack has features on them from the new 1.4, make sure to get the version for 1.3.1, our configs are a year old, might be changes in the mod itself which we need to adapt.

There is an experimental FAR for ksp v1.4.x. Is it recommended to try it with RO in ksp v1.4.4?

Hi there

I'm thinking of checking out a RO/RSS/RP-0 style game, but really I have no idea on what's what in that regard. AFAIK, RP-0 isn't updated for 1.3.1 and the full package isn't ready for 1.4.x. I'm using Steam and I know how to access the previous versions of the game.

Is the recommended installation method to use a 1.2 install and just select those packages from CKAN? Or use a 1.3.1 and use CKAN? Or put it all together manually?

What would you guys recommend? I'm fairly proficient in getting around a file system, but I'd prefer a simpler install without too much tinkering, so I can ask questions about the game from a reasonably standard baseline.

Thanks

Approach: very good
Applicability for RO: not so good

Unconvenient, but it's like that.

Start with 1.3.1 and pull from CKAN.  Then manually pull just RP-0 (or rather, suggest the developmental branch on github aka RP-1) and the suitable version of RSSVE.  I believe the dev branch of 1.3.1 has the correctly-compiled RP0.dll.

Hmm... Seems I might either have a bug or Im missing something while playing the game...at asl I have full thrust vectoring control and full gimbal of the engines. Once I separate the first stage I lose that ability and I'm only left with next to nothing help reaction wheels and rcs thrusters that will change my direction. Seems sometimes too that since I don't have the ability for gimballed engines I end up spinning out of control even with rcs / reaction wheels...any idea what I might be missing or is this a bug? Happens with all engines after I separate from my first stage. 

[Speedbird52]

Hi. When will this be updated for 1.44? If that is not in the plans is there a way to make this work with 1.30?

[MaltYebisu]

@Speedbird52

I'm not sure when RO will be updated for 1.4.4, but it is already ready for use with 1.3.1. You can find it on CKAN.

If you want to track some of the mods used in RO and RP-0, you can look at the KSP 1.4 Golden Spreadsheet.

If you want help installing mods for RP-0, you can use the KSP 1.3.1 Golden Spreadsheet.

Do you have RP-0 installed? Sounds like you do not have the correct avionics capabilities for your launch vehicle.

Hello guys, KSP 1.2.2 RSS RO keeps crashing and idk why. If you ppl of the forum can help me it would be great. Here is my output_log.txt

Hi

Wondering if anyone can help with Engine stats for SSTU!

Basically, the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS), which uses an RL10B-2, hasn't updated its engine stats in game. It still has the stock stats:

Spoiler

The Actual RL10B-2 where it appears by itself has the correct RO stats:

Spoiler

I'm trying to track down the route by which this should work via the cfg files:

GameData\SSTU\Parts\ShipCore\Series-C\SC-C-ICPS.cfg - this has the stock config for the part

Spoiler

PART

{

module = Part

name = SSTU-SC-C-ICPS

author = Shadowmage

 

...

 

MODULE

{

    name = ModuleEnginesFX

    engineID = RL10B-2

    runningEffectName = running_closed

    thrustVectorTransformName = RL10B-2-ThrustTransform

    exhaustDamage = True

    ignitionThreshold = 0.1

    minThrust = 0

    maxThrust = 45

    heatProduction = 35

    PROPELLANT

    {

        name = LqdHydrogen

        ratio = 15

        DrawGauge = True

        resourceFlowMode = NO_FLOW

    }

    PROPELLANT

    {

        name = Oxidizer

        ratio = 1

        resourceFlowMode = NO_FLOW

    }

    atmosphereCurve

    {

        key = 0 465.5 0 -1513

        key = 0.075 352 -1513 -342000

        key = 0.076 10 -342000 0

    }

}

 

GameData\RealismOverhaul\RO_SuggestedMods\SSTU\SSTU_Orion.cfg - this RO cfg file covers the ICPS and links it to the RL10B-2. The text from this file appears in the description, so I know this one is being applied

Spoiler

@PART[SSTU-SC-C-ICPS]:AFTER[RealismOverhaulEngines]

{

    @title = Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS)

    %manufacturer = Boeing

    %description = The Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) consists of a modified Delta IV 5 m upper stage. Its structure has been strengthened to support SLS flight loads and the hydrogen tank has been stretched by 46 cm to account for on-orbit boiloff. //http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=35528.320

    

    @MODULE[ModuleEngineConfigs]

    {

        !CONFIG,*:HAS[~name[RL10B-2]] {}

    }

}

GameData\RealismOverhaul\Engine_Configs\RL10_Config.cfg - This has the (correct) stats for the RL10B-2 and these are obviously applied to the engine where it appears by itself, but apparently not in the ICPS

Spoiler

        CONFIG //(9)

        {

            name = RL10B-2

            minThrust = 110.1

            maxThrust = 110.1

            heatProduction = 100

            PROPELLANT

            {

                name = LqdHydrogen

                ratio = 0.7325

                DrawGauge = True

            }

            PROPELLANT

            {

                name = LqdOxygen

                ratio = 0.2675 //5.88

            }

            atmosphereCurve

                key = 0 465.5

                key = 1 235

            }

            massMult = 1.659

            

            %ullage = True

            %ignitions = 15

            %IGNITOR_RESOURCE

            {

                %name = ElectricCharge

                %amount = 0.5

            }

        }

 

Can anyone with more experience of the cfg files figure out where the issue is?

Always grateful!
