[1.12.x] Kerbin Date Calendar Recalculated

[linuxgurugamer]

Nice little mod by @nuclearping, he has left the scene and just gave me permission (ie:  I asked, even though the license didn't require it) to adopt this.  Original thread is here: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/61996-11x-kerbin-date-calendar-redux-version-15/

Description:

Adds a small calendar window to keep track of the date and time at home on Kerbin KSC and displays it in a proper format.

 

Preview (the settings have been moved into the stock settings pages):

Thanks man.

cheers.

Is there a place to set the Initial date? (ie I want to start the year at 1947 (Roswell) or 2001, another year? (currently looks like its set to 1980)

Is there a place to set the date format, (ie. mm/dd/yyyy or yyyy mm dd or dd MMM yy, etc.)

I didn't see anything in setting.

Game had not created the .cfg file yet, until after I exited the game.

I know, but fixing that is more work than I had time for right now.

There is a bug related to the date format, I'm working on it now

Could this mod be recalculated to use Minmus' orbit?

Please explain

Specifically, to use Minmus' orbital period (ie a "new Minmus") as the start of a new month (or minth in this case) and going by the calendar in that way, as some folks have come to mark time in the writings on the Fan Works board? Say, 56 kerbin days?

Doing math to get the Synodic period, which would be more useful for a calendar!

Well, to start off, here is some information from the wiki:

Celestial Body	Parent	Hours	Kerbin			Earth			Revolutions per Hour	Revolutions per Kerbin			Revolutions per Earth
			Days	Months	Years	Days	Months	Years		Day	Month	Year	Day	Month	Year
Kerbin	Kerbol	2556.50	426.08	66.23	1.00	106.52	3.50	0.29	0.00	0.00	0.02	1.00	0.01	0.29	3.43
Mun	Kerbin	38.60	6.43	1.00	0.02	1.61	0.05	0.00	0.03	0.16	1.00	66.23	0.62	18.91	226.94
Minmus	Kerbin	299.50	49.92	7.76	0.12	12.48	0.41	0.03	0.00	0.02	0.13	8.54	0.08	2.44	29.25

 

Using either Mun or Minmus, it's not going to be an even number.  So then there would need to be leap years, since Minmus goes around Kerbin 8.53525641025641times in one Kerbin year.  Since I already have it doing Mun months, I'm not really keen on having another set of calcuations to deal with at this time.  Maybe later, when I'm done with all my updates

[grungar3x7]

Those calculations are all based on sidereal periods, but for a monthly observance, like a new mün or new minmus, one should use the synodic period instead, if my reading is correct.

Would this work with a resized solar system like JNSQ?

@linuxgurugamer Tried running latest version on ksp 1.9.0 everything works as intended, except when going back to main menu the log is spammed by "Nullref's" thought i might mention it here before you do a recompile for 1.9.0

Spoiler
