[1.3.x, 1.4.x, 1.5.x, 1.6, 1.7] MechJeb and Engineer And kOS forAll

[linuxgurugamer]

 

 

Back in 2014, forum user @nadseh wrote a little  ModuleManager script to add MechJeb and Kerbal Engineer to any vessel with a command pod.  It hasn't worked for KER for a while, and he hasn't updated it, so I've adopted it and released an updated version.  The original thread is here: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/75295-0235-mechjeb-and-engineer-for-all/

This now adds kOS to all, if you are using kOS

Note that the KER functionality is also available with KER itself, inside the settings.  This just makes it a bit easier.

Thank you

[Mrcarrot]

Oh, I remember this! Thanks for continuing it...

[linuxgurugamer]

Minor update, 1.3.0.1

• Fixed error in .version file (had wrong name)

[Slamnam]

YES!

Neat-o! This will be fantastic for things like BDA, never could figure out why you'd need an AI flight computer when the Mk2 drone core is canonically run by artificial intelligence

Could you by any chance make one that allows MechJeb use without adding a MechJebCore module to every command part? I find it quite annoying to have to go in and remove the modules by hand after building each craft.

Isn’t adding a that module the whole point of this mod?

How should this mod work without adding this module??? I think you didn`t understand this mod. It don`t add a part like a mechjebcore to any probecore. It adds a mechjeb-module (Code) to the config of the probecore. So there is nothing to remove ingame.

MechJebCore is the name of the module. I was thinking maybe something that allows MechJeb to work without a module added to the part's code in the craft file.

I was thinking that there may be some way to have the MechJeb functions without adding them to the individual parts. Sort of like the way that KER does it. 

[IntoSpaceAgain]

MechJebCore is necessary to tell the game that MJ is active on the command pods. That is only achievable in one of two ways: adding MechJebCore through a cfg file, as this mod does; or adding the in-game part to the craft, which then has the MechJebCore module on the ship through that additional part.

Checking the source on @linuxgurugamer's GitHub, it seems that this config also adds KER's BuildEngineer and FlightEngineer modules to the command pods, so I'm not sure why you don't think KER adds a module to the craft files.

That is an old patch, it's possible that KER does not need moduls anymore

Here is a old Module Manager code I use, to have just MJ on all command parts, it also unlocks with tech tree also. I thought I would share, for whom ever just wants MJ. 

//===========================================================//
//    Adds MechJeb to all Command Modules without MJ Parts   //
//===========================================================//
@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleCommand],!MODULE[MechJebCore]]:Final
{    
    MODULE
    {
        name = MechJebCore
        MechJebLocalSettings 
        {
            MechJebModuleCustomWindowEditor { unlockTechs = flightControl }
            MechJebModuleSmartASS { unlockTechs = flightControl }
            MechJebModuleManeuverPlanner { unlockTechs = advFlightControl }
            MechJebModuleNodeEditor { unlockTechs = advFlightControl }
            MechJebModuleTranslatron { unlockTechs = advFlightControl }
            MechJebModuleWarpHelper { unlockTechs = advFlightControl }
            MechJebModuleAttitudeAdjustment { unlockTechs = advFlightControl }
            MechJebModuleThrustWindow { unlockTechs = advFlightControl }
            MechJebModuleRCSBalancerWindow { unlockTechs = advFlightControl }
            MechJebModuleRoverWindow { unlockTechs = fieldScience }
            MechJebModuleAscentGuidance { unlockTechs = unmannedTech }
            MechJebModuleLandingGuidance { unlockTechs = unmannedTech }
            MechJebModuleSpaceplaneGuidance { unlockTechs = unmannedTech }
            MechJebModuleDockingGuidance { unlockTechs = advUnmanned }
            MechJebModuleRendezvousAutopilotWindow { unlockTechs = advUnmanned }
            MechJebModuleRendezvousGuidance { unlockTechs = advUnmanned }
        }
    }
}

@linuxgurugamerI might as well start using this mod and stop using my MM code. I like how KER is included and this mod is available on CKAN. Your code seems a little more updated than the one I was using.

That's fair enough. I've not used KER for years.

This is only if I have the KoS mod installed?

Yes

[Kaervek]

Linuxgurugamer,

I'm running 1.5.1 and I've downloaded and installed both Mechjebforall from here and Mechjeb2 from https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/154834-15x-anatid-robotics-mumech-mechjeb-autopilot-281-16-october-2018/&.

Starting a new game in Sandbox, I'm correct in believing that a rocket with just a probe core should have full Mechjeb support?  At the moment I only get Mechjeb support if I put the Mechjeb part onto my craft.

Files were unzipped and copied into my GameData folder like I would for any other mod, all files appear to be there correctly.

@Kaervek, do you have Module Manager installed as well?

Nope.  Wasn't aware that this was a required dependency.

It is mentioned in the OP, but it isn’t explicitly called out as a dependency. Most folks probably just have it installed for other things already.

Missed that, sorry.

Thanks Linux.

[davidjacobs]

Ha, I was just going to write my own "kOS for all" script tonight when I remembered to check up on this mod first to see if it made sense to contribute it here instead... :-)

Only to find it already implemented ;-)

TNX. linuxgurugamer for maintaining all those mods... very much appreciated!
