Changes

Extraplanetary Launchpads 0.6.99.2

• Update

  • [Launchpad.dll] 6.99.2
    • minimum KSP version: 1.12.x
    • closes #144 - Update [Launchpad.dll] to v0.6.99.2

• Combine ExtraplanetaryLaunchpads/ with SimpleConstruction/

  • only leaves the toolbar button icons in ExtraplanetaryLaunchpads/

• closes #144 - Update [Launchpad.dll] to 0.6.99.2

• Changes from 6.99.1 from taniwha's changelog for Extraplanetary Launchpads:

  • Minimum KSP version is now 1.12 (might be able to use in 1.11).
  • Check for missing flag textures. Fixes stuck UI (visible symptom is a white flag icon).
  • Better consistency on the UI toggle button (maybe a bit small now, though).
  • Update resource manager correctly on vessel switch.
  • Don't interpolate single-point efficiency curves (fixes exception in converter module)
  • Add ModuleCargoPart to most parts, but only if KIS is not installed (based on the assumption that if KIS is installed, its storage options are considered to be superior)
  • Tweak the rocket builder's eject vectors, making exiting a "seat" less weird.
  • UI strings localized (always were in the new UI, but not in a config file: they're now loaded).
  • Add Brazilian Portuguese translation (many thanks to [@Steven Marinelli](https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/ profile/221885-steven-marinelli/))
  • Add agency localizations
  • Add support for subdirectories. I had over 150 craft files in my VAB (1.9.1 save). This... makes a very welcome difference.
  • Wait for work sinks (currently just the various pads) to become ready before doing catch-up. This prevents an NRE in the build control code that I was not able to reproduce myself. Many many thanks to [@Rodger](https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/ index.php?/profile/153575-rodger/) (who ran into it) for his patience in testing (heavily modded JNSQ... load times are looooooong).
  • Add support for stock inventory parts to the resource manager. This means that resources stored in tanks stored in cargo containers are now counted correctly (only one level deep, though, so tanks in containers in containers won't be counted properly (same as KIS)). This is the reason for abandoning older versions of KSP.
  • As always, feedback and bug reports are welcome. Preferably github for the bug reports, and logs (KSP.log, make sure LOG_INSTANT_FLUSH in settings.cfg is True. Player.log accepted only if KSP actually crashes as it is normally an unreadable mess (and doesn't have timestamps)) or it didn't happen.
  • While this is still in the .99 series, I would say that EL is pretty stable and can be considered late beta or even final pre-release. It's more I have a few more things I want to get in before going to 7.0. Many many thanks to everyone who as given feedback and bug reports, and for putting up with my absence (gallivanting between The Bubble and Colonia, mostly in a DBX, both above and below the galactic plane, and a lot of work done on QuakeForge).

How to support this and other great mods by zer0Kerbal

   

[xXIndestructibleEVAXx]

Bug report/suggestion: with B9PartSwitch installed, the ore/metal/rp tanks are *incredibly* expensive, like 150k+. I looked myself, and in the compatibility for B9 folder, the file B9TankTypes.cfg has tankCosts set very high, at 100 for several of them. I changed them down to 1, which seems to have given reasonable numbers in the range of the stock prices of those tanks. 

[Grumpyhacker]

I'm building a 400ton station in orbit and the construction is completed, whenever I click "finalize build" it suffers the worst kraken I've ever seen in years.

The explosion is always caused by some water purifiers I have on the station, I've slightly changed the craft file accordingly but the "restart build" button seems to do nothing at all, when the station is under construction I can start deconstruction but now its finalized I cant,  I going to have to deorbit the construction ship its got a big green bomb sitting on the nose I cant make go away.

is there any fix? id rather not have to test my builds in sandbox every time

@xXIndestructibleEVAXx are the costs for empty or full tanks?

Kindly submit a bug report on GitHub with both your KSP.log and ModuleManager.ConfigCache - you can drag'n'drop your zipped/archived files directly into your bug report or comment.

Changes from 6.99.2:

• Fix hiding EL's launch clamp (Louis Bach)
• Fix incorrect vertical offset (5m) for survey builds
• Fix inconsistent directory tree indentation
• Japanese translation (Yark-Aki). Only partial due to the PR being before I did a release with the UI localization.
• Survey stake CoM put underground (@zer0Kerbal, @Robin Patenall), and some tweaks to make it have the correct height offset for the build. Thanks to @Rodger for initial testing of the PR.
• Allow survey station when KIS is not installed.
• Patch Kerbal inventory mass limit to include the Kerbal's mass (ModuleInventoryPart massLimit is TOTAL mass, not just inventory mass), allowing kerbals to pick up stakes after they've been placed.

How to support this and other great mods by zer0Kerbal

   

[Zefnoly]

In what way does it break saves? Will it break saves if I add it to a new save? Or is it versions using "older" versions that will break? New to this mod. Been looking for a mod like this for a while and the one that comes to closest to "not" adding new parts. Is this one. "and with far future added launching giant stuff from surface in my career is getting old and tedious"

It shouldn't break saves - but since it is prerelease, well call it safety boilerplate. so back up your save game first (j.i.c.s.h.t.p.f)

Thx for the clarification! Tested the mod and it appears to have loaded nicely with the rest of the mods I plan to use in the latest version. Hopefully now I can build bases on mun (even duna or laythe) in my next career game without sending huge models dozens of times on large rockets. I dont do the lifesupport mods and wanted everything to fit well with restock and nertea (which means i rather not have other parts added than those) so this mod seems perfect. It also seems to work well with Nerteas parts. However stockalike stationparts have larger size science modules and more slots for kerbals to be inside. But does not appear to have more productivity than the stock science lab. Is there a way I can manually patch it? (Done basic mod file edits before to manually fix lacking modules etc.)

As it would make sense if those has factors appropriate for their larger sizes?

After you get comfortable with SCON! I'd suggest looking into NSSC (Not So SimpleConstruction!) as it adds another way to build (survey stakes) - but that is an advanced topic since it can get complicated. Keridian Dynamics also adds more wonderful parts specifically for XPL/SCON based mods, as does @SuicidalInsanity's SMX (Stockalike Mining Expansion). I know you say you have enough parts, but can one kerbal have enough parts, really? 

9 hours ago, Zefnoly said:

Well productivity factor is a simple formula (which get's a little more complicated if you drill down).

vessels' productivity factor (vPF) = sum of all part's productivity factor (pPF); pPF is a combination of the parts PF (set in the part.cfg/patches), the number of kerbals (more is better), and the profession/level of the kerbals (or at least the highest ranking kerbal / professional) in that part.

So yes, a larger crew capacity part (Say the six seat science lab (MPL) version with six kerbals, with one engineer of 's will out produce the two seat MPL with two kerbals (with the same lead engineer)) can outperform a smaller crew capacity part .

I say look in the <KSP_ROOT>/GameData/SimpleConstruction/Config/... directory and look at the configs there; they are all text file which can be opened with NotePad, vim, VSCocde, Atom, VSCodium, Notepad++, or any other text editor. You can learn allot about how this awesome mode by @MatterBeam and then by @RealGecko works. 

Note, if you do decide to modify, save your patches in your own folder under GameData (and name it something like `zzzPersonal`) because if/when you upgrade SCON, your changes will be lost.

Is there any chance of getting this mod to work with Kerbalism? The game boots fine but Kerbalism overrides changes made to the science labs and the ISRUs. I've tried tinkering with configs for the last couple of days but have yet to get anything working properly.

@TheNamedOyster thank you for the question. First that I am hearing about an issue (that I can remember) with SCON+KERB.

Short answer - yes, might be a kludge at first, be can be done and then refined.

Are you willing to assist in this both in testing and feedback?

First step: Kindly submit a bug report on GitHub with both your KSP.log and ModuleManager.ConfigCache - you can drag'n'drop your zipped/archived files directly into your bug report or comment.

I want the ModuleManager.ConfigCache because it contains complete copies of all the part.cfg's after being patched. This will allow me to see exactly what Kerbalism is doing, without having to reverse engineer Kerbalism. It is all I should need.

Yeah I'm more than happy to help. I have submitted the bug report and files you asked for.  I left my mod list untouched from when I found the error. If you need me to reduce the number of mods I have installed let me know, I'll be happy to resubmit the log files. I realize that sorting through logs from ~100 mods may be tedious. Thanks for your help.

I am really enjoy this mod!  Thank you for your contribution to KSP!   I do have one question:  When finalizing any project, when it is released, it flies, for lack of a better word, some distance from the construction port.  Is there a way to fix this so it just releases it at the port?

This appears to work.  No longer do my projects "fly" from the creation port.   Tired a few dockings as well, and it does appear that the separation force is gone as well, but I can live with that.   Looking forward full release that incorporates this new functionality.  Again, Thank you!  Sorry for the delay in responding, I was out of town.    Again, great work!

[xXIndestructibleEVAXx]

I apologize if there is a better place to ask this, or if the answer should be obvious, but can anyone tell me if vessels created using this system are eligible to complete contracts? Since they always say that satellites for contracts must be new I thought that might preclude vessels originating from a preexisting vessel.
