HebaruSan Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 The good news is that a recompile fixes it, so I can make a new DLL easily. The bad news is that a recompile fixes it, so I probably won't be able to make a DLL that works with both 1.3.0 and 1.3.1. I've asked for help, so maybe someone will provide a magic solution, or maybe SQUAD will find a way to make 1.3.1 (more) compatible with 1.3.0. If not, then we might be facing the paradox of a new release with no code changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HebaruSan Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 1.3.1 Update: The fix by SQUAD seems to have succeeded! I am able to load Astrogator v0.7.8 in the full release of 1.3.1 and use it without problems. My thanks to JPLRepo (or whomever it was that helped, which I can't double check now that the prerelease subforum is hidden), but especially to @genbrien for pointing out the problem in time for it to be addressed. May such good fortune befall more and more modders with each subsequent version. I have no plans for a 1.3.1 recompile release at this time, and all versions from v0.7.0 forwards will remain marked compatible with 1.3.0 through 1.3.8 in CKAN.

Raptor9 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 This is a really handy tool @HebaruSan. Thanks. What I like about it is it helps to understand how to set up interplanetary transfers requiring multiple nodes. I've always done it manually, but I had no idea how much more efficient on delta-V it could be. This is a good teaching tool for myself.

I don't actually know if it's the most efficient approach for those; I've always suspected that a clever pilot could find ways to handle the plane changes better, and there are definitely special cases where well known techniques can beat it (gravity assists and bi-elliptic transfers, for example). But it's what I could figure out how to program (), and it provides a reliable baseline for simple maneuvers, so I think it has its place.

Rmack Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I had great success with Kerbal Astrogator on my laptop while I was snowbirding for five months in my RV. I tried to install it on my desktop, and in the game, I see only a white square icon rather than the colorful one on my laptop. It also only shows the warp to the window icon, no set node icon, you know that looks like a cog. I extracted the file on my desktop, and then copy and pasted that in my game data folder in KSP. It wouldn't have shown at all if I did it wrong, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmack Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 OK, I did it all over again after removing the Astrogator file from my game data folder, and now the icon appears right, it looks like a folding star map. And, where the selection to time warp was a small rectangle, it now looks like it does on my laptop; two arrows. However, I still don't have maneuver node generator button; the small cog thing.

Speculating, there are circumstances where the maneuver icon doesn't appear, specifically when you can't generate a maneuver node such as at KSC or the tracking station. As always a screenshot is worth a thousand words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmack Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Oh, for cryin' out loud! That was it. I was jumping to conclusions, because my first install was bugged in some way. It's alright now. Good speculating, HebaruSan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket In My Pocket Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) I have tried to help @Rmack over on the Steam forums with this issue but I'm clueless about Astrogator, I told him @HebaruSan the creator; was a cool dude who would undoubtedly help him sort it out. I was not disappointed! Edited November 20, 2017 by Rocket In My Pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerBlitz Kerman Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 @HebaruSan would you mind having it set up captures autonomously as well as my timing is only good for those things when I set it up myself... Don't judge me... I be lazy!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does provide maneuvers for capturing into a circular orbit while you're on an inbound hyperbolic trajectory. Did you have something else in mind?

I've found those quite handy for this situation. Just point the cursor to near your future Pe and you can advance time to the capture.

KerBlitz Kerman Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Yes I'm familiar but what I mean is also to have an autonomous system to, @ your periapsis lower your apoapsis so you don't just go flying off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise Maneuver has "Ap" and "Pe" buttons that move a maneuver node to an orbit's apoapsis or periapsis, and it has a "circularize" button that changes a maneuver node to produce a circular orbit. If you're on an escape trajectory and you want to enter orbit, you can just create a maneuver node and click the "Pe" and "circularize" buttons, and you get a convenient maneuver to enter circular orbit at periapsis. (It's still up to you to actually execute the maneuver, just like with Astrogator's transfer maneuvers.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerGolgo Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 @HebaruSan you mentioned I should stop by here if I had any other crazy ideas. Well, if it's already a thing, I apologize, and would greatly appreciate any hints on how to do it. Astrogator always shows me the lowest ∆v transfer that's coming up. And which might be some time out. Time which I may not wanna wait, or cannot wait because of life-support limitations. So if there was a button to cycle through other, sooner transfer windows that Astrogator can set up for me, that'd be ossum. Alternatively, maybe the option of specifying available ∆v and target, or total time available to reach the target (including the wait until the transfer window) and Astrogator working it out from there?

(You can prolly make the Astrogator window appear on a screen in IVA if that's what you mean?) Anyways you should put the Astrogator folder in the main Game data folder or it may not work correctly.

Astrogator, for planning transfers between worlds. Docking Port Alignment Indicator, to make IVA docking much, much easier. NavUtilities, providing ILS and HSI in the cockpit.

However it doesn't specify to install it any differently than normal. We can infer from this that you should install it as normal; in the gamedata folder. However if you say it's working as-is; I suppose that's all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
