[KSP 1.12] EVA Repairs

[Angelo Kerman]

I've been on vacation, and I normally don't respond to such requests, but it's also been awhile since I worked on this.

Here is EVA Repairs 1.4.4.

Barely over 2 weeks. You've been awesome about pushing out builds to address issues folks are having. Thanks for taking the time to push out another update.

My next hat trick is to add some kind of custom GUI at the space center that lets you manually adjust MTBF by failure category for custom failure rates.

Hi there, minor bug to report - the repair bot wheels don't seem to load. I tested on a mostly clean install (only other mod was QuickStart+dependencies) and I've tried with and without ReStock installed. All the other parts load fine, but the repair bot wheel does not. I tried to look through the CFG files for EVARepairs and MM as well as the log files but seems I'm still too inexperienced to figure it out.

Having said that, I'm loving the mod and it works perfectly fine without the wheels  - just thought to inform.

I've verified that the T-800 Micro Wheel is loading correctly with Restock.

Not sure what you're running into...

Huh...I've tried a bunch of different combinations (pure stock, restock only, restock+, stock+multiple WBI mods) but never got it loading. Bizarre. Maybe my test install has just gotten borked in some way from installing/uninstalling mods. Thanks for checking.

Congratulations. Perfect.
Permanent failures at activation fixed. Trials improve reliability of new parts with science+failure, but when it reaches 90% failure at activation stops. I tried 100 times on/off engine.
when I loaded a save with a flying plane, the engine (90%) failed.

[any 1]

Yes, there are failures of  engine (90-95%) at activation , rarely only.

Mostly loving this mod so far, with one exception; I think there should be some split for game balance between rocket and jet engines, with the latter having a longer MTBF. It takes a while to get places on jets rather than the short burns a rocket undertakes, after all.

This is not easily done without using a Module Manager patch. In code there's not really anything that I can use to distinguish between a rocket engine and a jet engine. Given all the jet engines out there it would be prohibitive to patch each one. But you can easily create a MM patch for specific parts

Can I change the indicator frame that a craft have no MTBF from blue to red?

[marxman28]

So, two things.

First, I don't have any sliders  for reliability or MTBF.

Secondly, is there a UI box that shows all the parts that have failed? If I get a bunch of parts that fail, I can't remember which ones failed, and if I have a high-parts count build like a space station, I can't right-click every single item to find out what failed.

 

EDIT: Enabled the "Flight experience improves future reliability" option and now I have the starting reliability slider. Still no MBTF slider though.

Could it not be we only target objects that have intake requirements for their fuels?

@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleEngines*],@RESOURCE[*Intake*]]
{
@MODEL[ModuleEVARepairs]
{
    @MTBF *= 10

}
}

Also it would be nice if parts that are broken were highlighted "red" as I've seen in other repair mods to help identify them.
And (because I'm here) it would be *cool* if parts that failed had a 1/20 chance of a critical failure and were unrepairable, or required an expert repair (level 5 engineer and 3 repair kits).

Quote

• You can now specify the default MTBF by part module. E.G. Engines have an MTBF of 1 (hour). See EVARepairs/BaselineConfig.cfg for details.
• Removed default MTBF from settings menu.

This is in the updates log on github, noticed I was missing MTBF slider too so I decided to check github to see if it was mentioned.

 

Edit: @Angelo Kerman I know we can change it in the config, but why was 1 hour chosen for the default MTBF for engines? It's drastically lower than any of the other parts.
