[1.4.0-1.8.1] NavUtilities continued, ft. HSI & Instrument Landing System [v0.7.2] (2018 Apr, 1)

[The-Grim-Sleeper]

Hi, I have a bug and I don't know how to properly report it:

When I have the latest version of 'NavUtilities continued' installed on KSP 1.3.1, the NavBall indicators for the survey missions are invisible/gone/inactive.

Wut due Eye dew?

That's intentional to encourage you to use more realistic HSI navigation rather than arcade NavBall indicators. When you set a waypoint to be active, the HSI automatically starts pointing to it. But if you still want those indicators, press [Alt-O] to bring the settings window and uncheck "Hide NavBall waypoint icon".

Aha, thank you. Changing the settings was the thing.

But I wasn't able to activate the LeftAlt+O menu, I changed the settings in the settings.cfg file.

I think that the LeftAlt+O thing is on my end (the menu for a different mod did show when I LeftAlt+O-ed, but that is now assigned to a different key). Is it possible to set or change the key(-combination) to bring up the menu?

Or to "reset to default" in case I broke it?

Found the menu: LeftAlt+click toolbar button.

Sorry, I've confused it with another mod. You can open the settings window by holding Alt and clicking Nav Utilities toolbar button. Or just go to the NavUtilities continued/PluginData/NavUtilLib/settings.cfg and change settings manually in the file (you may have to restart KSP for the changes to take effect).

Yep I tried using the most current nav utilities in my 1.4 and indeed it does not work. Will try this workaround, but it would be excellent if the creator officialized this!

:shrugs: i pm'd him. I mean i could fork the whole project on github and redistribute it but i dont want to do that. I dont want the hassle of maintaining the project i just want it to work like you guys do. Someone else can maintain it.

@Redneck, @Daniel Prates

Sorry guys, I was out on vacation. Now I'm back and going to update my mods one by one.

[Ser]

Version 0.7.2 is out

Download here

Changes:

* KSP 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 compatible
* Fixed marker sounds positioning so they are not muffled by Audio Muffler mod anymore

[Daniel Prates]

This is great @Ser! 

That old gimmick to include the runways of "kerbin side",  mentioned a few pages before.... will that still work? I mean,  assuming newer versions of kerbin side keep the runways om the same place?

They should be just fine. Anyway, I advice you to keep Module Manager up to date.

@Ser NavUtilities continued is marked in CKAN as 1.4.1 compatible, not 1.4.2.  metadata oopsie?

That's because I let Spacedock handle CKAN metadata on upload and it hasn't an option for KSP 1.4.2 yet for some reason. Since there's no much difference between 1.4.1 and 1.4.2, everything should work well in both versions.

@Kurbalizer It's "deSSert". Don't forget what game you are playing

Also the Dessert Runway IMO should be put into a separate config file that is only used when MH is installed

What do you think?

Good. But

1. @m4ti140 is right, it should be added only if MakingHistory is present, and we gonna wait for the new Module Manager release to be able to determine that.

2. There are no "00" runways. The "36" is used for straight north direction instead.

3. You could post just the desert runway config because all others don't change.

I'll test and include your config in the official release with the said changes after a while.

[Kurbalizer]

@SerGo ahead, change what's needed. As I posted - just a suggestion.
And "Oops", thought I read somewhere the Dessert Launch Site and Runway were for everybody. 

Edit: And of course you are right. I only appended the last two entries. The others I only  copied and pasted. Never intended to take any credit.

Hey @Ser, I don't want to be rude, but any chance you make a config specially made for RSS and RO? I don't mind changing 'kerbin' to 'earth', but I think that if you, the guy working on it could check out everything is on the same page once in a while it could be reassuring.

 

Anyway, thanks for the support!!

You see, I don't play RSS or RO and it's a bit of a headache to maintain something you don't actually use. So, why don't you want to be that hero? The mod has a tool for that, all you need is just use it and may be edit some names in the resulting config then. If you run into any troubles, feel free to ask.

Great, because I did try to be the hero. Seems I'm not much suited for it. I tried to change the name 'Kerbin' to Earth, and I got these:

Basically you can see the HUD for NavUt, but can't see it in raster prop monitor and it won't change. Like a static image. Also, can't see the icon on the left.

Sorry, I was on vacation and couldn't respond.

Seems like you use some mod that adds AnalogHSI prop to the Mk1 pod and it breaks everything. Could you identify that mod? It should contain a cfg file with "analogHSI" word in it.

was solved. it was, most likely, the analog control continued mod you have in your signature.

It just can't be so. Analog Control doesn't add AnalogHSI or interact in any other way with NavUtilities. Are you really sure?

well, it seems it just stuck the loading phase. I thought it had to do with NavUt, but it seems it didn't. I guess this isn't the thread to discuss it if that's the situation.

Anyhow, next weekend I'll update about my progress to get NavUt to work again.
