Li0n Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Antenna Helper 0.18 is up on GitHub ! Quote **Flight & MapView Update** * **Flight Window** : show info about the active connection and potential relays * complete re-wrote of the flight scene code, no more KSP API to get the signal strength, only math :-) **DEPENDENCY***MUST be installed*Toolbar Controller version 0.1.4.6 or higher Setting file has changed, make sure you delete your GameData/AntennaHelper folder before installing this version. Here it is, in-flight NUMBERS (about antenna(s) ) When you hit the button this is the window you'll see, The first line show the TOTAL signal strength of your vessel. Each button below represent a link in the path between your vessel and the DSN. Multiply each link signal strength and you get the TOTAL signal strength. The "Potential Relays" button show you all the in-flight relays : The line in bold are the total signal strength, and the button a link in the path between a relay and the DSN. All those buttons are not there to look pretty, if you click on one of them you'll get detailed info about this link : To don't impact on performance too much the number are updated every half second ONLY when the gui is visible.

Li0n Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 A few things I wanted to add last night about : The future of Antenna Helper : With the last version all (major) functionality are here, the ones I haven't add are for edge case, IMO. Known bugs, specifically those about the circles, will stay there (at least) until KSP 1.4, I want to see what the new version of Unity brings for the shader/camera. So next version will be 1.0 . It will add parameters to disable part of Antenna Helper (if you want it only on the editor, or flight, etc...), also unifying the UI, and readying it for the translations. If you want to help : English is not my native language, search for typo, grammar fault or whatever Translations : @CN_Warren and @AlexALX offered to do Chinese and Russian (are you still willing to ?). I'm looking for volunteer for the Japanese and Spanish jobs. (files ain't ready yet) Look for various UFI (Unidentified Flying Insect, a.k.a. bugs), I'm sure there still some Look at the "know issue" on the OP to see which one I already know about. Reaching 1.0 don't mean I'll stop developing this mod but my mind is already on another project so I'd like to "finish" this one ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ss Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Took one look at the title and I'm already in love. Does this work with Interstellar's beamed power system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodmund Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 @Li0n do the circles always orient themselves with 0 degrees inclination or do they reorient themselves between vessel and target so that they align parallel with respect to the connection vector?

No idea. I did what I think is necessary to support modded solar system but didn't test it. I'd really like if you can test it and report how it goes. 1 hour ago, Poodmund said: @Li0n do the circles always orient themselves with 0 degrees inclination or do they reorient themselves between vessel and target so that they align parallel with respect to the connection vector? They should always align with the connection vector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ss Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Ah not modded solar systems haha, I mean the Interstellar Extended mod, it has a bunch of parts that can send energy as infrared/microwaves across space to be received by other craft and turned into usable energy. Works similar to transmitting science points in stock AFAIK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works similar to transmitting science points in stock AFAIK I've never use this mod but I guess the functionality you referring to is this one : https://github.com/sswelm/KSP-Interstellar-Extended/wiki/Beamed-Power From the wiki and a quick look at the code it don't work like the stock antenna system, at all. Do distance between transmitter and receiver matters ? On the wiki it seems to be more about the orientation between the two. So no, it won't work with Antenna Helper, and not being antenna related I won't make extra support for it. If you, or anyone, want to make a "Microwaves Helper" mod feel free to take whatever you need from Antenna Helper, but I think the two system are too different.

Li0n Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Antenna Helper almost 1.0 (0.90) is up on GitHub ! Quote **General Update :** * in-game settings : use stock/blizzy toolbar, enable per scene, change the timing of the gui update * ready for localization, looking for translator, if you're interested please send me a message on the forum or github **Flight / MapView Update :** * more safety check when a vessel is modified/destroyed **DEPENDENCY***MUST be installed*Toolbar Controller version 0.1.4.7 or higher*MUST be installed***DEPENDENCY** Settings : If you want to help for the translation please send me a message. @Apaseall I've made some tweak that should help with the nullref you were seeing. I'm not sure it will be enough tho. I haven't been able to reproduce the issue (you have too many mods ), but for what I've seen on your log they appears only when your vessel is destroyed (scene/vessel switch destroy vessel). If so it won't have any impact (except add line to your log), as Antenna Helper restart it-self in such case. I'll appreciate if you can give it a try.

Apaseall Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 @Li0n I have installed it and will try to test it soon. I will let you know if I can manage to get time to play that part of my game. I am fiddling with making a rover to help with my base construction and as we know sph can eat those hours away rapidly. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
