[1.12.x] Loading Screen Manager

[lunchlady55]

Hi, I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue that I think may have to do with this mod.  I'm using CKAN and as part of the Astronomer Texure Pack, this mod (loading screen manager) is being pulled in as a dependency.  But now I'm not getting any loading tips or screen.  I've included my config file and a list of mods I have installed.  

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Here's my config file: 
--- Start File
debugLogging = True
dumpScreens = False
dumpTips = True
totalSlides = 20
includeOriginalScreens = True
forceSlideshowWithNoImageFiles = False
displayTime = 5
fadeInTime = 0.5
fadeOutTime = 0.5
tipTime = 5
tipsFile = 
includeOriginalTips = True
neverShowAgain = False
logoScreen = 
logoTip = 
FOLDER
{
    path = c:/program files (x86)/steam/SteamApps/common/Kerbal Space Program/GameData/AstronomersVisualPack/LoadingScreen/
    fileMasks = *.png;*.jpg
    ignoreSubfolders = False
}

--- End File

New release, 1.2.3

• Thanks to @Sigma88 for the following:
  • Added code to remove dll from memory when mainmenu is reached
• Added code copied from ModuleManager to only allow the latest version of the DLL to be used (if multiple are installed)
• Reordered the changelog (now newest first)
• Consolidated all logging into logging class, removes duplicated code
• Added logoScreen config
• Added logoTip config
• Added ability to read multiple config files

so, Ive been having bad luck...heres a log

loadingscreen manager isnt making a cfg file for itself for some reason. Specifically in my case, I am trying to do the GPO installation via CKAN, from stock. I get the Kopernicus broke screen at the mainmenu. Could it be related?

GPO, is that GamesLinx's Planet Overhaul?

[linuxgurugamer]

I'm not sure why yet, but I've confirmed something is wrong

[linuxgurugamer]

New release, 1.2.3.1:

• Fixed issue with bad path when trying to load extra cfg files

@Jesusthebird I'm not sure this was your issue.  I loaded GPO with CKAN, and it loaded fine, actually loaded a previous version of LSM

Currently I just need to give it time. I dont think they are related to each other. But GPO owner stated since the kopernicus update(im guessing from the 1-3 to 1-4 version), installing GPO via ckan isnt advised until he can iron out the issues. But it was neat to find this issue via..that issue lol. 

 

 

**I had to share this, Im lol'd so hard just now. Considering I bet a lot of devs are gonna get some big ol bug reports on all their threads, and I just realized im one of those poor stand-up guys being like..."your mod broke" and yall are like.."we know"

Create a directory:

GameData/LoadingScreenManager/PluginData

For some reason it wasn't in the zip file, I'll make an update to fix this

[linuxgurugamer]

New release, 1.2.3.2

• Fixed issue where missing PluginData directory was causing issues (log spam, no default file made)
• Added code to prevent same directory from being specified 2x

I have the same issue as @lunchlady55

I was sort of shocked to see this was a dependency for the visual pack...  but what ever, it unloads itself at main menu so it will not change the operation of the game in any way..  however now I do not get loading screens.  the tips seem to work ok but the only image is the black screen with the white "Squad" logo.  it just endlessly fades in and out.  I have looked in the settings and the options to include default images is checked, so I am not sure where to go next.

 

 

 

EDIT:

Well to fix the boredom I put a bunch of pictures in the screen shot directory...  and now it does not show the squad logo, but it rather it has picked one of the pictures from that directory, and is repeatedly fading it in and out.  so still only 1 picture cycling during load.

Check the settings, sounds like it is set for only one image

I'm going to have to make a new install to test this.

Which version of the visual pack are you installing, 2,4 or 8k version?

[linuxgurugamer]

Looks like  Astronomer's doesn't have a config for LSM.

Go into the LSM settings, and add this folder :

     GameData\AstronomersVisualPack\LoadingScreen

This actually showed a bug which I'll need to fix, and will then contact @themaster402 about fixing the pack

[linuxgurugamer]

New release, 1.2.3.3

    Fixed issue with addon folders being added to std cfg

• Added ability for addonconfig to override following settings in std config:
  • displayTime
  • fadeInTime
  • fadeOutTime
  • tipTime
  • includeOriginalTips
  • neverShowAgain
• Deleted unnecessary file from release folder

The OP has been updated with this information as well

@linuxgurugamer

Does <neverShowAgain> value have influence to every launch separately within just this launch?

neverShowAgain says not to show the button on the main menu.  If ANY of them are true (in multiple config files) then the button won't be shown.

No idea, all I can say is don't scale it, or scale it before KSP starts.

The code doesn't rescale it on it's own, it merely loads the images.  KSP must be rescaling when displaying it,and there isn't anything I can do about that

I had not noticed GUI, had looked at .cfg and had assumed what it is about cycle in the showing images.

I have set windows scaling to 100%, have made test image, and blurring still there ...






maybe this is responsable ?

No, that is the width of the dialog window.

Send me the images, please

[alphaprior]

How I can change the logo to game's default? Currently game loads TextureReplacerReplaced logo in main screen or other mods might do the same.
Also I see the same screens around 5-6 over and over like there are no many pics to show but I believe there are both from  Squad and so many other mods installed.
 

[linuxgurugamer]

I'm not sure what you mean.

TexterurReplaceReplaced doesn't use this, it just does it directly.

Per license, this mod does not touch the Squad logo screen.

Regarding the same screen being repeated, I'm  looking into that issue

Well, it's Sarbian's relief valve, I don't know the exact schedule, but it pops up once or twice a year.

Off hand I don't remember, but I do know there is a way to disable it.

For all,

 

it appears that once all loading screens have been shown, the last screen just gets repeated.   Also, there is a setting called "Total Slides", which will be changed to "Max Slides", which limits the total number of slides loaded.

So what is happening is that if you have the total slides set to 20 (which is the default), and the display time set to 5 seconds, after about 100 seconds all the slides will have been shown, and the last one will get repeated.  For installs which have lots of mods, you end up with the last screen being repeased.

To fix, change the delay so that the delay multiplied by the MaxSlides is approximately the same amount of time it takes to start the game.

[linuxgurugamer]

I am working on a way to have the displayTime automatically adjusted after each game start
