JeyJeyKing Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Hey, thanks for updating this mod. It is very much needed. You should add it to ckan, it only shows the version compatible with KSP 1.3.9 on there. EDIT: nvm I just had to refresh.

Guest Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Reveal hidden contents Hey, apparently Persistent Thrust conflict gave me millenias long burn time with no lift capacity unless I ignite the engine, but with this bug I can't use Mechjeb Ascent Guidance.

Qyst Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 The latest version of this mod seems to have issues with specific engines when running on 1.9.1 (it didn't happen in the previous version 1.7.2.1). Tested with engines from different mods and even stock, and it seems the issue is with engines that use ModuleEngines instead of ModuleEnginesFX. The issue manifests in two different ways, so I'll add two reports: Reveal hidden contents KSP: 1.9.1 Linux 64bit Problem: When crafts with certain engines are built and launched from VAB or SPH, there is ArgumentOutOfRangeException log spam and severe game performance degradation. This only stops when the game is paused or the vessel carrying the affected parts is not loaded. Mods installed: ModuleManager v4.1.4.0 PersistentThrust v1.7.3.0 Reproduction steps: Build a simple craft with a Mk1 pod and one of the affected engines, for example the stock Sepratron SRB, then launch. The issue is evident immediately on the launchpad. Log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/exn8tvwze4bwlsg/Bug Report PersistentThrust Stock - Player.log?dl=0 Reveal hidden contents KSP: 1.9.1 Linux 64bit Problem: When crafts with certain engines are loaded from the KSC screen by clicking on the launchpad, there is "System.InvalidOperationException: Sequence contains no elements" log spam. Mods installed: ModuleManager v4.1.4.0 PersistentThrust v1.7.3.0 Reproduction steps: From the KSC screen, click on the Launchpad and load a pre-built craft using the affected engines, for example the Kerbal X, then launch. Log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/btr4tu55hxus51x/Bug Report PersistentThrust Stock Load - Player.log?dl=0 Here is a list of the affected engines from tested mods: Reveal hidden contents Mods that cause PersistentThrust to have issues Streamline Engines and Tanks: All but the DTE S-12 Karbonite: all but KFD-100, KFD-200, KFD-300, KFD-500, KLF-125, KLF-250, BahaSP Retractable Engines: ILX-40, MJ-88, Critter Crawler, TRR-1, VTx-202 RLA_Reborn: Aphid, Mist, Fog Kurrikane: Both engines. USI Sounding Rockets: All of it, aerospike and SRBs SpaceY: Ejectatron and all the separatron nose cones. And the two radial decouplers. USI Exploration Pack: Both DERP engines. The submarine engines are fine. Stock: Sepratron-1, Thumper, Shrimp, Mite, Terrier, Nerv, Reliant, Swivel, Thud, Skipper, Poodle, Mainsail, Hammer, Flea, Thoroughbred, Clydesdale, Toroidal Aerospike Mods that don't Cryo Engines Kerbal Atomics Feline Utility Rovers Kerbal Planetary Base Systems Kerbal Reusability Expansion Mk2 Stockalike Expansion NearFuture Propulsion Stockalike Mining Extension I hope I have included all the information needed!

9bananas Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 hi @FreeThinker! afraid i have a bug to report for KSP v1.10.1: when installing from CKAN, no engines can produce thrust, because they think their fuel requirement isn't being met. on windows 10, no other mods, fresh install, game files verified through steam. steps to reproduce: install persistent thrust from CKAN (including the module manager as a dependency), launch a game, launch a vessel, crash into the ground. i can send you logs, if you need them, but i didn't actually get an error in-game. please tell me which logs you need. i'm not used to reporting bugs for ksp! cheers!

Expand if you go back to KSP 1.10.0, does the problem persist? I tested myself and it apears to work fine 1.10.1. So it has to be something else. Could you please upload a log?

9bananas Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) @TaintedLion: that's actually exactly what's happening in my game also: engines think they don't have fuel, even when they're fully fueled/SRBs, so it's not crossfeed or anything either. @FreeThinker: sure, here are some logs and my save file! Google Drive Link i had no issue in 1.10.0, only happened after one of the recent updates (either the mod, or KSP itself). it literally cannot be anything else. see screenshots : there's absolutely nothing else installed, and vanilla doesn't have this issue. if i delete persistent thrust, everything goes back to normal instantly. edit: i noticed you changed something about how you address engines in one of the recent updates, right? well, since this issue is in essence "engines don't get fuel", maybe it's related? just a wild guess, don't really know much about Unity... edit2: it also seems to affect every engine, regardless of fuel type, or engine type, including jet engines, etc. seems like a problem in the patching process somewhere!

Expand Glad you like it. We have actually have a lot more ideas for this mod. Did you know it functions durring offscreen (when Kerbalsim is installed). This will allow you to do that hour long burn and do somethung usefull in the mean time. All you need to do is active and switch to another vessel or KTC , technically you can go further and actualy control your vessel offscreen. This would theoreticly allow you to control multiple vessels at the same time. Edited August 3, 2020 by FreeThinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
