[0.21.x] Kerbal Crew Manifest v0.5.5.0 Released! 0.21 Compatible!!!

[vXSovereignXv]

This plugin will allow you to add or remove crew from parts while on the launch pad or transfer crew between parts in the same vessel. You can also edit/add/remove custom crew members in your available crew roster provided that they are not part of an active flight (or dead). You can also enable Kerbal Permadeath in the settings if you are so inclined (Disabled by default).

As with all mods, it is suggested that you backup your persistence file before installing this mod.

Instructions:

In the flight scene:

Click on the Manifest Icon to show the Manifest Window.

Crew Manifest:

To Add or Remove Crew you must be landed at the Runway or Launchpad. Select the part from the top list (the part will be highlighted in yellow). The bottom list will show the crew of that part and actions that can be performed (Add or Remove).

You can also open the Crew Roster window to add specific Kerbals to the selected part. Click the "Add" button next to their name.

Crew Transfer:

To Transfer Crew, click the Transfer Crew button at the bottom of the Manifest Window.

A new window will popup. You can select a part on the left and move crew from that part to the select part on the right (or Vice Versa).

The left selected part will be highlighted in green while the right selection will be highlighedt in red.

Clicking the "Out" button will send the Kerbal to the other selected Part.

Use the "Update Portraits" button to refresh the crew portraits if they did not load correctly during transfer.

Crew Roster:

To open the Crew Roster, click the button on the Crew Manifest window

To Edit a Kerbal, click the edit button next to their name. Kerbal names in Red are assigned to a Vessel and cannot be modified.

Name, Courage, Stupidity, and the badass flag can all be modified.

Click the "Apply" button to submit changes. Cancel will revert your changes.

To Remove a Kerbal click the "Edit" button next to their name. Click the "Remove" button to remove the Kerbal.

To Create a Kerbal click the "Create Kerbal" button at the bottom of the window. This will generate a semi-random Kerbal that can be further modified.(Uses the games code. It's not entirely random.)

Click the "Apply" button to add the new Kerbal to the Manifest.

Spacecenter Scene:

The Manifest Icon is enabled on the Spacecenter scene. Clicking the Icon here will open the settings menu where the button position and Permadeath flag can be modified.

I used the old version for a while and just recently updated. Now my game seems to randomly crash every so often, usually when going to launch a rocket. I’m fairly certain the issue isn't due to insufficient hardware (6gb of RAM on a 64-bit OS, i7 processor, ATI 5870 gpu, etc). Any way I can get a crashlog to you, maybe you can make more sense of it than me?

If you have a link to it I can try and take a look. I'm not sure what in my plugin would cause a crash though.

[ahappydude]

You made the gui so much smoother now , and cheers for making it changable position and for the new features

[Stirlitz]

I've installed the plugin into the right folders, but nothing appears when I launch the craft.

I'm using KSP 0.19 Linux-x64.

Not a problem. I'm glad you like the changes.

You have the latest version from here or Spaceport correct? There was a problem with a version I posted on Reddit that would not load correctly at times. Other than that I'm not sure what the problem would be, but I have not tested this first hand on Linux. Has any other Linux user seen any problems?

[Deep silence]

This is the kind of great plugin that I am sure will be embeded in the game, like eletricity, khethane...

Thanks !

Yeah, I have the latest version from here, though I'll try reinstalling it. I don't know of any other KSP Linux users, though I've seen several on the subreddit. Should I create a thread asking if others have the same problem?

I can also try running the mod in the Windows version under Wine to see if the problem persists.

Edit: so apparently you don't need a part anymore, but I'm still not sure how to open the crew manifest. Is there something in the installation process I'm missing?

[Mechrior]

any reason behind the HUGE lag me and a few others I know are getting when trying to open the crew roster button or edit a kerbal?

This button should appear in the upper left corner by default. You will need to make sure that the CrewManifest.dll is in the plugin folder. Also you need to copy the contents of the plugindata folder from the mod package to the plugindata folder of your KSP install.

I haven't seen any lag opening the roster window. There isn't much really going on there that could cause it. Maybe if the roster was massive, but it'd have to be really massive.

Yes see if you still get the problem with Wine. I'll install Linux when I have some time to see if I can reproduce as well.

Hit Alt F2 before you do it to bring up the debug log. Alt F12 is the Debug hacks, in case you are confused by what I mean.

[White Owl]

Oh halle-freaking-lujah this creating and editing kerbals is going to simplify my life so much. You have no idea how much I appreciate this feature.

Thank you very much! Silly me was opening the folder that's in the download and trying to copy the files directly into KSP plugindata instead of just the crew manifest folder into plugindata. It's amazing what a little sleep can do for cognitive function!

I think the reason the icon isn't appearing on Linux is that, as Linux filesystems are case-sensitive, it's looking for the data in PluginData/crewmanifest, and the folder you distribute is called CrewManifest. I was able to fix this by copying CrewManifest to crewmanifest, but you should probably fix that in the distribution as well.

[vXSovereignXv]

I didnt know that about linux. That would explain the problem. I'll change that in the next release. Thanks!

I did this as well when looking through the folders, though it didn't work. Maybe I copied it from the wrong one. I'll try again with a clean install.

And AFAIK, Mac does the same thing.

[Phantom Hoover]

Yep, case-insensitive files are a very Windows thing, and one which you have to watch out for if you're doing cross-platform add-ons.

[BlueSubstance]

Huh? I've got a strange bug here. Yesterday everything worked fine, but now, I CAN'T ADD any Kerbals to my command pod or container! The button for this disappeared.. PLEASE Help me!

[Climberfx]

Good Job!
