Kethane Pack 0.9.2 - New cinematic trailer! - 1.0 compatibility update

[Majiir]

Yes, it's possible for deposits from different resources to overlap. There is currently no interaction between different resources when they're generated.

[mushroomman]

These hex overlays, will they change scanning in any way? Those hexagons look pretty big...

Thanks, I guess I was just unlucky in the many times I ran, reran, reinstalled various versions of Kethane and EL. Thanks for letting me know.

The live development stream is up at: http://www.twitch.tv/majiir/c/2477016 I worked on particle effect performance and aesthetics, and Dani-Sang (creator of Kethane) made a surprise visit to show off a surprise. Give it a watch!

Make sure you delete the Kethane file from your saves; if you just reinstall the mod, it won't wipe your save file and you'll keep the same deposits.

[Hremsfeld]

On the topic of resources overlapping (or not), might I suggest that scanning only displays "Last Deposit" location and size for the resource currently being displayed? For example, if I have EL installed and go over an Ore deposit, my Kethane map will say there's a deposit below me of a certain size, but obviously not show it due to the resource difference.

[Mishkin_007]

Is it too early to ask if the upcoming 0.7 update will wipe 0.6 deposits?

It won't wipe deposits. It will probably wipe scan maps.

Sorry I missed the stream I spent 45 mins trying to connect but it just wouldn't work using the iOS twitch app they are seriously forcing us to watch their money making streams rather than any others that we would prefer to watch.

[FredMSloniker]

Can you transfer kethane using quantum fuel nodes? I'd just try it and see, but I'd have to get the debugger installed to spawn kethane on the launch pad...

[HoY]

Yes you can. Make sure the nodes are installed on kethane tanks. Hyper edit is faster tho

[Castun]

I'm pretty sure I missed the stream, bit I couldn't tell because for some reason the stream just wouldn't load, even trying several browsers. I couldn't even get an offline picture, it was always a blank screen. Yet I could go watch other streams just fine. Probably Twitch's fault, but so long as the video is still up to watch I'll check it out.

I've been using this mod fine for a few days, but suddenly when I loaded KSP up today switching control to either of my craft with Kethane detectors makes the game lock up and drop down to minimal FPS. I looked at the data dump and it gives an XMLException pointing at the config.xml file in the Kethane installation; when I open this file, it's entirely blank.

How can I fix this?

[frik]

I missed but maps from 0.5 don't go over to 0.6, and 0.6.1 do they?

[HoY]

They do if you install .5.1 first then launch a ship with a drill on it. You only need to launch it to the pad, it will update the format your maps are saved it, then you can end its flight. Quit out of the game following the in game menus then remove .5.1 and install .6*

That's odd. Delete that config.xml file (it's nothing important) and see if that fixes things. Check file permissions (read-only, etc) to make sure Kethane can write there.

In any event, I hate the XML system so I'll be getting rid of it soon.

With a drill? Srsly? I ran ship with detector, and thought it will be enough...

[HoY]

It may work with a detector but going by what Majiir said a couple days ago the drill is the part to use.

After upgrading to the new version I'm getting these errors when my Kethane detector probes are in focus.

What version did you upgrade from? This looks like you upgraded directly from 0.5 to 0.6 or 0.6.1, without upgrading to 0.5.1 as an intermediary step. If not, upload your save file so I can take a look.

[s20dan]

I was using the version included with 'Extraplanetary Launchpads'.

However, you mentioning the save file alerted me to the kethane.cfg thats in the save directory. I had not noticed that file.

I deleted that and let the new version generate a new file. It appears to be working.

Thanks.

How about some detectors with larger field of views. these can detect a larger space of kethane.

This has been discussed, a lot. The scanners don't really need to scan wider, people just need to stop trying to use them like its a ISA dish.

Lots of scanners, fast time warp, that's how to get a fast map. I even did 3 pics with a sat mapping the moon in 15min last time this was discussed(its many pages back by now I'm sure).

edit: its post #1128 I did the pics...you can see how kethane is actualy faster than ISA's wide beam if you do it right

Below is a shot from the current dev build. The 2D scanning code has been ripped out to make way for the new.

Very cool stuff Majiir, nice work
