linuxgurugamer Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Here is anohter beta: 1.7.0.3 Beta 4 Removed all N-Body references Fixed the initializaiton of the Current Decay Multiplier and Resource drain rate multiplier to be 1 Excluded following from calcs: VesselType.SpaceObject, VesselType.Unknown, VesselType.Debris https://github.com/linuxgurugamer/OrbitalDecay/releases/tag/1.7.0.3 Please pay close attention to the active vessel, using both types of timewarping. I haven't really looked at unloaded vessels that much, I've been concentrating on this. Assuming no issues, then move on to other vessels. Also, Check your settings and make sure that Orbital Drift Compensation is ENABLED, it's on the General tab of the main settings screen. One of the issues was the mod disabling that, and was getting strange results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesecake Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) @linuxgurugamerUsed the last version (1.7.0.3 beta) with my savefile in KSP 1.8.1 and there are never ending messages that my satellites has no engines. Stationkeeping is not available. Also: there asre thousands of this entries in my log: Quote [LOG 19:16:06.875] VesselData: Vessel not found: 7e4e623c-cd0e-490c-bd57-ed5ee309d5fe My log has now a size of 178MB.

Starseeker Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Wait, why is debris excluded from calculations? One of the main reasons I was interested in this mod was that it'd remove the need for retrorockets on my upper stages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starseeker Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Alrighty, so, the active vessel has proper decay (and at rates that seem to match the predictions in the VAB) in both no-warp, physics warp, and timewarp! Plus, the stationkeeping works, and seems to consume fuel at a reasonable rate. I'll do testing with unloaded vessels now! However, when stationkeeping isn't enabled, the vessel's orientation appears to be "locked"; even with RCS and SAS enabled, I can't alter the vessel's attitude in any way. Turning stationkeeping on (and thus preventing decay from happening) allows free rotation of the craft. Additionally, debris seems to "freeze" when detached; I decoupled a piece of my craft in orbit and it stick where it was at the moment of detachment, with its orbital path a straight line down but its altitude never changing. Here's my log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XAg4lZ6GtWcOPdyAsvgV9g5OnD4DhXaT/view?usp=sharing EDIT: Did some unloaded-vessel testing, and it seems that stationkeeping is perpetually enabled on unloaded vessels, including those without any method of doing stationkeeping (in which case "<craftname> has no operational engines or RCS modules, station keeping disabled" perpetually displays in the tracking station) Also, a suggestion: could the "kill timewarp and display message when craft enters hard atmo" feature be made toggleable?

And, if there aren't too many mods in that save, could you send me the save file, please Oh, there are a lot of mods in my save. Including JNSQ and Kerbalism, if it is important. The messages are shown already at KSC. They run through for every vessel that is in orbit. Again and again.

linuxgurugamer Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Well, Kerbalism is a wild thing. I have seen the messages in one test, so I'll be looking for the reason. If you create a new save, and only have one vessel in the game, does it happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starseeker Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I'm having the same message-spam issue; it happens if I have a craft without stationkeeping ability that's on rails. Said craft's orbit doesn't decay, as if it were successfully performing stationkeeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxgurugamer Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) ok, thanks. I'll be working on this over the weekend, you've all given me some good feedback. Thank you for your patience, this is a very complicated mod, and the math makes it even harder. I'm slowly getting a grip on it, which is why I'm mainly dealing with one thing at a time right now Edited August 28, 2020 by linuxgurugamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Kerman Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 @linuxgurugamer testing this with my latest orbital mission and I forgot to install it before launch. I loaded up the probe in flight after installing and now when I go to the tracking station I can see it recognized by the decay simulation however it doesn't disable station keeping. Whether I toggle it on or off the LF/O keeps getting drained and the orbit stayed maintained. This is the log from the session where I time warped a lot to see any effects - orbit remained constant. Also changing the time settings from 6hr to 24hr days did not affect the orbital decay estimate time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minmus Taster Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 This mod is the definition of gamebreaking. I cannot control my ship in orbit and the orbit itself is all messed up in map view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoman314 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Following this thread hoping to see it working again one day. I feel like this mod throughout it's history has spent most of it's time not working, but I remember when it did and miss it. Love your work @linuxgurugamer!

Sorry to say, I'm most likely not going to be continuing this, at least in it's current form. It is trying to be too smart and does too much for what the game needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
