How did you make a custom high G voice alarm? If you show me the cfg you used I can help you with removing the disruption

How did you make a custom high G voice alarm? If you show me the cfg you used I can help you with removing the disruption

I just replace the alarm audio file in the folder(D:\GAME\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\ASET\ASET_Props\Sounds) with my own voice, for example (LOWALT.wav HighG.wav GroundProximity.wav) .Maybe it's because the length of the original file is different. When encountering power failure, the last audio has not finished playing, and it starts to play again.

I tried to find the relevant configuration options in the \MOARdV\FlightSystems folder according to the WIKI tutorial you sent, for example

MAS_mk1-3.cfg

@PART[mk1-3pod]:NEEDS[AvionicsSystems]
{
   @INTERNAL
   {
       @name = MAS_Mk1-3
   }

   MODULE
   {
       name = MASFlightComputer
       requiresPower = true
       gLimit = 14.7
       baseDisruptionChance = 0.20

I changed the original gLimit=4.7 to gLimit=14.7, but when using the MK1-3 cockpit in the game, it will still be powered off at 4.7G.Is it a problem I understand or an operation error?

Later, I opened all the CFG and TXT files in the module folder and searched for fc. Conditioned,give an example

MAS_LUA
{
name = MAS IFMS scripts

script = MOARdV/MFD/IFMS/IFMS_Scripts.lua
}

PROP
{
   name = MAS_IFMS_MainCompUnit
   MODEL
   {
       model = ASET/ASET_Props/Misc/JSIMainCompUnit/JSIMainCompUnit
   }

   MODULE
   {
       name = MASComponent

startupScript = IFMS_MCU_Init("%AUTOID%")

       //--- Decorative Elements
       COLOR_SHIFT
       {
           name = JSI Label backlight
           transform = pCube30
           passiveColor = 0, 0, 0, 255
           activeColor = 255,255,255,255
           blend = true
           variable = fc.Conditioned(fc.GetPersistentAsNumber("Backlight"))
       }
I deleted the content in brackets, but MFD in the game doesn't work properly :confused:

Mk1-3 isn't a cockpit is's an appolo style command pod

Did you delete the function in brackets and not brackets themselves?

variable = fc.Conditioned(fc.GetPersistentAsNumber("Backlight")) should look like variable = fc.GetPersistentAsNumber("Backlight")

Thanks, I got it. I'll take a test

You are Awesome!!! I made a mistake. Because of the localization language, the two command modules are translated with the same name.

If change the gLimit parameter to 14.7, the power will be interrupted when the G value reaches 14.7

But there is a small problem that I hope can be solved. There is no mk1InlineInternal file in the GameData\MOARdV\FlightSystems folder. How can I add or modify it

您是否删除了括号中的函数，而不是括号本身？

变量 = fc。条件反射获取常量编号（“背光”））应类似于变量 = fc。GetPersentAsNumber（“背光”）

Ha ha ha ha ha ha, I got it!!! Thanks very much.

There's a slight problem with this prop, you can enter parameters, it works fine with Mechjeb (although not fully integrated in number of parameters) except you can't use "." or "," to separate numbers, which is pretty usual when defining an inclination. In this case I wanted to try 36.62, but only could 36.

Also I'm unsure what all the other "F02", "F04", "F10" buttons are supposed to do. Or perhaps they're blank for future features? The keyboard is nice but don't see where to use it? Is this prop integrated with kOS?

Yes, that's because adding decimal support was non-trivial without custom code to manage the correct placement of the decimal, or the inclusion/exclusion of the decimal character. The data entry space accepts characters as input, and it has to convert them to a numeric value to feed to MechJeb. But it also has to convert numeric values to strings when reading values from MechJeb. At the end of the day, I decided I did not want to have to write all of the custom code required to implement those capabilities and handle edge cases. What it needs is a bespoke set of functions built in to MAS to handle all of that overhead, instead of trying to do it in Lua scripts.

As for the F02 buttons, etc. They don't do anything. I left placeholders on the screen so that I would not need to position text later, but I never finished working on that MFD. I keep starting on MFDs, getting them partially working, and then run out of ideas. This is another example of that.

Right now, the keyboard doesn't do anything, either. All of the keys work, but there's nothing that takes advantage of them. The original prop was intended to integrate with kOS, but RPM wasn't well-suited to support that integration. If I ever figure out how to integrate kOS and MAS, you would be able to use that keyboard to type commands into kOS (or whatever else you do with kOS - I've never used it).

Speaking of props. Have you ever heard what happened to Alexustas22 SMART S.A.S.S integration?
It was a cool prop for MAS in which you could somewhat have IVA control of that feature.

I know Vulkan submitted a ton of converted props a couple years ago that you merged. I've scrubbed the "new" ~185 props he converted, which i have permission to release, but I wanna scrub one moar time, just to make sure nothing is duplicated with what may already be converted/included, in MAS, ASET Props, and a couple other things.

There are lots of entirely new props made by @vulkans in his M2X Angler IVA mod and they are awesome. I already found a good use for some of them in my attempt to make "a perfect aerospace fighter IVA"(tm), now this project is even further from completion than it used to be before I discovered this treasure chest. I also made a few props based on his stuff like external buttons for a holographic MFD and adjustable height for ASET HUD to make a watermark face the right direction (once the HUD height is found using adjustments it can be added to the cockpit's persistent variables)

Finally got the idea how the MFD pages switching works (with lots of trial and error like having the MFD stuck in one page or not displaying any pages at all) now I'm trying to make a science MFD with biome map. Still can not get the map aligned and scaled correctly (only @MOARdV and @vulkans can do this magic) and menu items being displayed where I want them to be.

While messing with science MFDs in my career playthrough discovered that contracts like "do science XXX at area YYY" don't get any progress when science is done using MAS. Had to dump results and activate the experiment again using VesselView or in the old boring fasion with PAW

Stone Blue · November 11, 2022

@Manul Nice!!... looks like you may have some props in there, that I didnt get copies of...

Hello! Thank you first for making such an amazing add-on.However, I've been consistently encountering "[AvionicsSystems] INITIALIZATION ERROR" on all MAS IVA-installed craft. After investigating the log, it appears what is causing this is that UpdateNeighboringVessels invoked by TargetVesselCount is attempting to sort an empty array:

Uhh... IIRC, that *should* be relatively easy. I imagine the mirror just has a rear-ward facing camera transform...
Should be able to whip up an MM patch, that adds that transform to the camera pages on any MFD vOv

At the least, if you have basic modelling knowlegde, you could probably just create a model, that is just a simple parent object, & a childed camera transform, placed to match specific external cockpit part models, and add your simple model to those relative cockpit parts, with an MM patch, then add a module in another MM patch, to the relative MFD prop cfg.

Basically, its making an external camera part, like those in HullcamVDS, or even the integrated external cameras in the ASET ALCOR pod...
*just without any external skin*, and also not having to actually place them as parts in the editor

Nope. Radar Warning Receiver is not about transforms. It's requires getting data from BDArmory about radar threats, distance and bearing of these threats and displaying all this stuff at the MFD. Possibly some new classes and PartModules inherited from MASFlightComputer and BDA RWR will be required to do this.

Ah, yeah i was wondering what you meant about cameras n stuff, i need to figure out how BDA outputs and displays data within Unity menus/sub-windows and figure out how to make that data displayable by a monitor within the IVA.

See this https://github.com/BrettRyland/BDArmory/blob/master/BDArmory/Radar/RadarWarningReceiver.cs

But there is no answer how to enable the RWR. Using RadarWarningReceiver.EnableRWR() doesn't do anytning.
I managed to turn the radar on and off by calling the method ModuleRadar.EnableRadar with MAS custom actions but it didn't work with RWR.

Quote

        MAS_ACTION_GROUP
        {
            name = RWR
            id = 17

            ACTION
            {
                      name = Falcon_RWR
                      part = PCA_Falcon_Cockpit
                      module = RadarWarningReceiver.EnableRWR
                      action = toggle
            }

        }

       MAS_ACTION_GROUP
        {
            name = Radar
            id = 18

            ACTION
            {
                      name = Falcon_Radar
                      part = PCA_Falcon_Cockpit
                      module = ModuleRadar.EnableRadar
                      action = toggle
            }

        }

The green stuff works just fine, when I hit MAS switch the radar window pops up. The red stuff doesn't have any effect.

Finally got all Unity stuff working on my new PC so it's time to go back to the drawing board. I love the new Touchscreen MFD

This is the result of my attempts to make a Science page. Can't make it respect situation restrictions for running experiments. Both fc.RunExperiment() and fc.RunAvailableExperiment() allow me to run seismic scan in flight or magnetometer report landed. Is it a bug or I have something important missing?

MAS already has some instruments to work with kOS. There is a MAS-powered kOS monitor aboard Buffalo 2 you can give it a try and see what it is capable of.

can i rename it to replace the default ALCOR MFD (such as that used in the ASET 1-3 IVA) or would that break the IVA's?
