maja Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Management of this mod was transfered to @Lisias New thread is here: @RealGecko stopped supporting this mod and turned this over to me. Original thread is here: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/147876-ksp-131-bon-voyage-01321-make-your-wheels-rolling-2017-10-15/ What's the best way of getting science from celestial body? The answer is DRIVE! What's the best way of delivering ore or supplies from distant location to your base? The answer is make your wheels rolling and ships rowing! But did you try to drive for 110 km for two hours, avoiding obstacles and keeping your speed in sane limits? It's not fun anymore. Don't worry! Automagic Industries brings you a new autopilot, which reduces driving accidents by 100%. Bon Voyage is here and it will drive your rovers and ships in background! Source: https://github.com/jarosm/KSP-BonVoyage Download: https://spacedock.info/mod/950/BonVoyage Wiki: https://github.com/jarosm/KSP-BonVoyage/wiki License: GPL-3.0 Superb "Bon Voyage Pathfinder" model was created by @Enceos and is licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 Cool and colorized app launcher icon made by Madebyoliver and licensed under Creative Commons BY 3.0 How it works: Rover must be landed and ship (boat) splashed. It has to have Bon Voyage Controller aboard. Controller is in the Control tab or part of some rover cabs (Malemute, Karibou, Buffalo, Bison and FUR). At least three rover wheels must be intact, operable and in contact with the ground. Unmanned rover or ship must have an active connection to set a target or issue the GO command if you are using the CommNet or RemoteTech. To start moving, your power production must be at least 35% of wheels max consumption in case of rovers. In case of ships, you must have enough of fuel or electric power for operating engines. Rover will move with varying speed depending on number of wheel motors online, power production and crew. Ship will move with varying speed depending on power production (in case of electric motors) and crew. Rover or ship can be solar powered or have alternative power source (RTGs, Nuclear Reactors, Fission Reactors, Antimatter Reactors etc.). If rover or ship cannot move without a solar power, then it will idle until the Sun is 0 degrees above the horizon. . How to: Add Bon Voyage Controller to your rover or ship (seek it in theControl tab). If you have MM installed, then Rover body and Malemute, Karibou, Buffalo, Bison and FUR cabs get BV automatically. Launch your rover or ship. If you're just playing with BV and launch a rover at KSC, then at start your rover state will be "Prelaunch". BV won't work at that state and displays message, that your rover must be landed. Move your rover a little so that MET starts ticking and then BV is ready to be activated. Select the proper autopilot type (land or naval) from the PAW menu Bon Voyage Controller. Default is Land autopilot. Right click on BonVoyage icon or module (or rover cab, if you use some) and open BV window. This window is different for each type of autopilot Unmanned rover must have an active connection to set a target or issue the GO command if you are using the CommNet or RemoteTech. Click "Pick on map", "Current target" or "Current waypoint" to select target coordinates or enter the coordinates manually. Click "Set" to start computing a path to the target. Path finding may take some time, be patient. If path will not be found in ten seconds, it will stop. Try some closer point. Click "GO!" Go to tracking station...or launch a new vessel...or do whatever you want... There are few things to note: Pilots, USI Scouts and crew members with Autopilot skill can increase average speed dramatically Low on power? Your rover or ship will be slower Night rides of manned rovers and ships are slower Unmanned rovers and ships are very slow Batteries can be used during a night for rovers, if there is enough solar power to recharge them. Up to 50% of the total capacity of all enabled batteries will be used.

Xenophic Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 YAY, now i can build my mining operation without having to worry about long rover sessions. THANK YOU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaaaaaace! Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) maja I'm getting this really weird graphical glitch where the line that I assume, should be leading from my rover to its destination, just zig-zags randomly around the screen. Looks crazy. It also appears in the map view when I'm flying other ships, so I can't really ignore it. Edited March 17, 2018 by Spaaaaaace!

Joal ban Kluane Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thank you Maja for taking over and maintaining this mod (and thank you to Real Gecko for having written this in the first place!) ! It's a very good mod, and it would have been a pity to see it abandoned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SelectHalfling0 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 This mod is too good to play without, now that I'm getting back into KSP this will be a great little feature. Thanks alot Maja! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horus Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I've set a waypoint with WayPoint Manager, selected is as an active one, pressed "Poehali!!!".... aaaand... nothing happens. Just a "Bon Voyage control lock active" message across the screen. The rover's not moving. EC capacity & generating volume are sufficient.

Vers. 1.4.1 If it's a bug report, then I must say, that KSP Wheels are generating exception spam in KSP 1.4.1. KSP Wheels author knows about that. I recommend not using them until it's fixed.

This happened a lot in 1.3 with orbital lines too, under certain angle drawn orbits start to wobble and jump across the screen. IMO this "feature" is unfixable on mod level.

Gnoyze Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I gotta ask out of curiosity, if I have two rovers, can I set one to autpilot, then drive alongside it with the other rover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't. If you try it you'll see that the second rover will stop and change to idle in the rovers list. Rover must be unloaded in order to move it by BonVoyage.

Matt Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Anyone else having an issue where rovers respawn underground when switched to? First time it happened upping the terrain detail to maximum stopped it (once). Currently two test rovers on kerbin are inaccessible. One on the mun seems to be working better but has clipped into the ground catastrophically before. Seems to be more of an issue on angled surfaces. I'm not sure if this is a game issue or your mod? I can shift the rover around in the save file manually but this is hit and miss and a bit of a pain. Would it be possible to access the BV controller without loading the vehicle to order it to move to an alternate site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mun around is on the mun and appears ok at last load.

Created two rovers on Kerbin and Mun and both ended stuck in landscape after a while. I guess mod spawns vehicle horizontally, but for long vehicles or steep landscapes it is not always sufficient. My last vehicle was rather long sausage-shaped (mk1 command pod, mk1 crew cabin, 1 structural fuselage, and tvelwe or so small wheels), and after a voyage it spawned on a slightly sloped hill with its back deeply burried in a ground. A second after loading it explodes. Is there some kind of normals map accessible from KSP API ? Is it possible to adjust vehicle orientation so it would be perpendicular to current place's normal?
