[1.3.1] Ferram Aerospace Research: v0.15.9.1 "Liepmann" 4/2/18

[Sparker]

Wings(both stock and procedural) are not shielded if I put them inside a procedural fairing, procedural interstage fairing, KW rocketry fairing or B9 cargo bay. Other parts are shielded fine. I don't know if they could be shielded before because I've never put a wing inside a fairing in earlier versions. Could someone confirm this please?

Maybe there's a way to put IsShielded = True to needed parts and they will be automatically shielded?

Release 0.24 Ferram Aerospace Research, please!

The update has been released minutes ago, be patient

[Rakh]

Agreed. But for completeness sake, here's confirmation it isn't compatible without an update on FAR's end.

[AlternNocturn]

Literally clicked on this just in time to see it updated to 0.24 compatibility. Kudos, installing ASAP.

[Tortoise]

Thanks, adding this. Now all I need is KAC and KER

[jrandom]

Be patient? I have 2 hours and 10 minutes before I can even get on a bus to get home to my KSP machine! Argh!

[Hattivat]

Yay for the instant update, you're the best ferram! And here I was worried that I'd get to experience the game without FAR once again, that would feel like going commando.

[micha]

This is.. impressive! Although I'll wager you had early access But still, kudos!

[Guest]

Either that, or changes needed weren't all that big. Anyway, can't wait to try it out.

[FenrirWolf]

I'm glad the update came out so quickly, but I've encountered a problem while trying to play with the 64-bit version of KSP .24. When I try flying a plane I get a flood of NullReferenceExeptions the instant my velocity is anywhere above 0, and naturally my framerate suffers drastically. I removed all mods except for ModuleManager and FAR, and the problem persisted. Here's my KSP.log file for reference:

[ferram4]

KSP.log is useless. You must upload the output_log.txt instead, as that will actually have a stack trace to the source of the error.

I suspect that you are not actually running FAR v0.14, as constant nulls when velocity is above zero is a result of an older version of FAR.

[FenrirWolf]

Hah, what do you know. output_log.txt does indeed say I'm running 13.4. But I swear I downloaded the v14 folder from github multiple times. Or maybe I'm just going nuts here, let me double-check on this...

[ferram4]

You must make the file public. I can't access it.

And the version naming being off is an error on my part, but I just tried it and I'm not seeing any null references in flight.

[FenrirWolf]

Oops, sorry. Just changed the access rights so the link ought to work now.

[ferram4]

The first null is happening in the code that determines what parts are what.

Confirm that you have (working from the KSP root directory) a file at GameData/FerramAerospaceResearch/FARPartClassification.cfg. Then confirm that there are two blocks inside that file labelled "GreebleModule" and "GreebleTitle"

[FenrirWolf]

I just checked and I do see those modules in that file.

[BudgetHedgehog]

Just wondering something, ferram.. why the switch to the stock toolbar? And is it an intentional move to disable the FAR button in map view, or a game limitation? Just curious, is all.

[FenrirWolf]

There's an option to use the toolbar mod if you wanna.

[BudgetHedgehog]

I know that, yes - but to be honest, I kinda like it in the stock toolbar. Just wish it was available in map view too.

[NathanKell]

Well, then add that to the suggestions forum

[ferram4]

@FenrirWolf: I have confirmed the issue; something is corrupted with the older example ships that FAR includes. It only occurs with them; all other vehicles are fine. I'll look into what's wrong with them.

@ObsessedWithKSP: I don't believe there's an option to use the stock toolbar in the map. In any case, I don't see why you'd open or close the FAR window there; you're either in space, in which case it's useless, or you're in the atmosphere on a long-haul flight, in which case, you probably already opened it.

[BudgetHedgehog]

So it's a game limitation then? Hmm.. seems an odd one. I don't have any other mods that use the stock toolbar (so far) so I didn't know if this was ferrams choice or if it was just how things had to be. That, and I don't know how to word it - "make mod buttons on the toolbar available in map view"?

EDIT: You make a good point, ferram. Guess I was just surprised to see it go, is all.

Sweet, I was just about to mention that I've only tried the stock FAR ships. Waiting on Interstellar to update before I try loading my old plane designs
