Hunting the 10,000 Pm SSTV signal

[Nazalassa]

Oh, you know what?

I'm going to just build a ship, and then transport it there with alt-F12!

Gotta restart KSP to change somethng in settings.cfg.

[Nazalassa]

Sadly, doen't work

Other idea.

[Nazalassa]

I'll stop there for today -- mabye this signal doesn't exist (sadly).

[Rutabaga22]

I have a feeling it was a one time gltich, there was nothing special about the signal.

[Nazalassa]

Not found on KSP 1.12.3, but it's said on the wiki that the hill doesn't seem to emit any signal in KSP 1.12 -- guess the SSTVs have been removed..

I'll try with an older version.

Allright, KSP 1.2.2 won't launch, trying KSP 1.73

Download: 75%

Extractin data..

[Nazalassa]

Allright it starts

[Rutabaga22]

U got this!

[Nazalassa]

Man, the old graphics...

Still, I prefer pre-1.18 graphics.

(sorry, pre-0.18)

 

Wow, I lost my custom shortcuts

Have to put thembach

(and the keyboard of the other computer, which I use to type this, is getting worse)

Using a mammoth engine for speed needs, and the cheat meu to "set orbit" of course.

Currently at transfer orbit

[Nazalassa]

Whooops overheat

Mammoth burning..

Current velocity: 40 km/s

Current altitude: 9,999,999,999,742,600,000 m

Just passed 10,000 Pm... It didn't play.

Maybe I misread it.

[Rutabaga22]

Maybe it happens in an earlier version, let me check.

[Nazalassa]

Yet another pass...

Note:I'm using 1.7.3

Maybe it was an April fool's joke...

8 km to go, at 30 m/s...

OK, DMSP found it in 2014.

So if I find anything, I'll be the third, not the second ;

Holo's try was in December 2013.

If I can't find it in 1.7.3, I'll try 1.0 -- and if there's nothing, then we'll have to pray for someone who still has a KSP from the first half of 2014.

[Nazalassa]

I think I'm not going fast enough

OK... No signal. Absolutely no signal.

HOLD ON

I JUST HEARD A BIP

JUST ONE

CAN THIS BE REAL??

There was the loud music, but I'm sure I heard a BIP

Let me check my recordings...

Downloading KSP 1.0.5...

[Rutabaga22]

Oh my Kraken. If this is real I will poo myself.

[Nazalassa]

Recording check in progress...

I said I just heard a faint, small BIP. Not a complete SSTV signal...Although it may have been part of it.

Whoa whoa whoa that Mammoth restarting jumpscared me...

Ihad to brake and invert my trajectory

So I mustn't be that far away from the BIP

HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON IT'S REAL

KRAKEN IT'S REAL

IT WAS JUST HIDDEN BY THE ****ING LOUD MUSC

BUT I HEARD bird

...

(sorry)

 

wFor everyone's information: the SSTV signal at 10,000 Pm exists in KSP 1.7.3. I found it.

Eight years after, I found it.

I have recorded it.

EDIT: No, that was just the stupid music!!
(2 nov. 2022)
 

But I can't decode it because of that ****ing loud music!!

I have to re-record it, this time without the music.

[Nazalassa]

I've heard a bit of bleep-boop around 25:40, but it's really faint and I had to put the sound to the maximum. Pay attention, and you'll probably hear it.

Oh, and, download the recording here.

Man, when I heard the bleep-blops it really frightened me. Really.

(rememer: jump to 20:40. Before it's not interesting. It's all KSP music and engine burning.)

aah damn keyboard

[Rutabaga22]

The file doesn't sound like anything? Do I need to redownload?

 

[Nazalassa]

Eight years after @Holo and @DMSP. I found it. On KSP 1.7.3.

Wow. Wow wow wow.

The file is a .mp4 -- I haven't separated the audio from the video yet.

Ah yes I se, the download link didn't work as expected.

[Rutabaga22]

I'm really bad with github. How do I download them?

[Nazalassa]

You should see a box with "View Raw (sorry blah blah blah)" written in it.

Just above the box there's a bar, which has a "Download" button on the right.

When you click on it, it *should* download the file.

[Rutabaga22]

Still no audio

[Nazalassa]

You mean from the downloaded file?

yes

 

[Nazalassa]

I -- I don't see what's wrong -- it works nice for me

What OS are you using, and what app are you using to play it? Maybe it can help.

[Rutabaga22]

I'm on windows 10 and using the movies and TV app.

[Nazalassa]

OK, this is kinda stupid, but have you checked it your sound works in other apps?
