You may want to mention in the first post that a part needs to be added to the vessel, it wasn't immediately obvious to me.

I guess this is because the GameData\VesselNotes\MM_Patch.cfg looks like this:

//@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleCommand]]
//{
//	MODULE
//	{
//		name = VesselNotes
//	}
//}

On purpose.  If it gets added to all the parts with ModuleCommand, extra overhead is created, also keeping track of notes got very difficult when dealing with vessels with multiple command pods

Downloaded (also the dependencies) but something's not right and I hope to find an answer here. When I installed everything, another mod, RemoteTech, stopped working. That is, I no longer had access to the RT control panel.

From the log file:

FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'ToolbarControl, Version=0.1.9.4, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.

UnityEngine.DebugLogHandler:Internal_LogException(Exception, Object)
UnityEngine.DebugLogHandler:LogException(Exception, Object)
ModuleManager.UnityLogHandle.InterceptLogHandler:LogException(Exception, Object)
UnityEngine.Logger:LogException(Exception, Object)
UnityEngine.Debug:CallOverridenDebugHandler(Exception, Object)

You don't have the ToolbarController installed, which is a required dependency.  The folder is there, but no DLL

How did you install it?  I'm wondering if you downloaded the source code and not the release file

[LN400]

Strange. The mod folder was inside the game data folder and named 000_ClickThroughBlocker. I copied this into the game's GameData.

 

EDIT: Just to clarify, I delete all mod manager created files each time I install or delete a mod.

Then you installed it incorrectly.  You downloaded the source code, not the release.  I don't put DLLs into the source code

Download the release zip, NOT the source code.  You can get it from either of these two sites:

Ah! Now I feel a bit dumb  thank you so much. I will give it a go!

Try using CKAN, it would have avoided all of this

[LN400]

I might have to do just that. So, now I get it all almost working except, the data logger unit in the science section can't be fitted. It's also the only item that can't be left floating in the VAB while building. I can select it and move the ghost image around but I can only put it back in the parts pool. This old brain feels half fried by now

EDIT: Success. It might have been a faulty download. Downloaded again and now it attaches as it should.

It was a bad install, already fixed

[Stone Blue]

oh.. lol.. I musta missed the edit in the post

[LN400]

Just to wrap this up: Works like a charm it seems now. Just a little wish if you don't mind this fellow rambling: Either have the log functions available in the tool bar or through the command/function keys. Sorry if this has been covered and I'm just being dense again.

You do realize that you need to add a part to get the functionality?  The part is the DataLog Info Drive, you can easily find it by typing "notes" into the search field

I'd rather not add yet another toolbar button at this time

Oh I did get that bit about the data logger  I was just wondering about a quick way to access the logs if I say, have the logger tucked away in a cargo bay

Sorry, no.  You have to access the logger.  Toolbar button for this won't work, what if you have multiple loggers on a single vessel?  For example, I launch multiple probes with a single rocket, and sometimes put a logger on each probe.  Other cases could be, rover as cargo in a vessel, etc.

I will be releasing an update in a few days, which does add a toolbar in the SpaceCenter, used to see general game notes

[LN400]

Alright, I understand. No worries.

Is this mod compatible with RO/RP-1?
I tried it, and the DataLog part that is supposed to be available in the Science category is not there.  So then I uncommenting the MM patch that made the VesselNotes module available on every command module part.  That worked, sort of.  The notes do not save / persist after reloading the vessel (neither in space or in the VAB).  The vessel logs also use UT time based on Y1 format instead of RSS year starting at 1951.  So I'm thinking this mod was never meant for RO/RP-1.
