TAC Fuel Balancer-DISCONTINUED

[keizerdoc]

Works now. I have no idea why it didn't work before.

Seems to be working in 0.24 with 64bit KSP

Good to know. I was waiting on an update, but now i don't have to.

Not working for me as the items are hidden and the output logs says something about not satisfying its needs.

Something's missing. Check your install and make sure you didn't go around renaming folders for things. I know TriggerTech's stuff gets whiny if you don't keep the trigger tech folder structure. I've noticed TAC LS has behaved like that too.

[Furious1964]

The thing that was wrong was that I tried the v9 pack of TAC Life Support. Should have used v8.

I can't seem to get it to work with Toolbar, I tell it to show the icon ("FB"") but nothing appears.

FYI, i just tried TacFuelBalancer_2.3.0.2 on 0.24 x64, and its working fine.

You're looking for the wrong icon. That FB icon isn't the icon to do fuel balancing. It's a red one without letters.

What??? Where?

Never mind I fixed it, no help from you though I figured out the problem by looking further back into this thread for someone that had the same problem: turns out TFB needs to be in "ThunderAerospace" folder to work with toolbar.

It's the red U shape with two black blobs on top.

Yeah, No, that icon does not appear unless it is in the ThunderAerospace folder and toolbar is installed. Else it is just the "FB" button that does not work/appear with toolbar installed.

It needs to be in the {KSP}/GameData/ThunderAerospace/TacFuelBalancer folder to fully function correctly, with or without the Toolbar. Please do not move it or rename any of the directories.

[RuBisCO]

... Is this somekind of echo chamber?

TaranisElsu is the mod author. That looks like a friendly reminder that plugins need to be installed correctly in order to work. As the Readme in the download says:

Installation procedure

1) Copy everything in the GameData directory to the {KSP}/GameData directory

Side note: In the future, you'll probably get a solution in less than two weeks if you include your output_log.txt (Win) or player.log (Mac, Linux). Among other things, that log lists the install locations of every add-on. You can find it here:

Windows 32 bit: KSP\KSP_Data\output_log.txt

Windows 64 bit: KSP_win64\KSP_x64_DATA\output_log.txt

Mac OS X: Open Console, browse to Unity, then click on player.log. It's also located at ~/Library/Logs/Unity/player.log.

Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/Squad/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/Player.log

love the mod, glad it still works in 0.24.2 x64, at least for me anyway.

Do you have any plans in the future to add functionality to add a page which adds comparability to Rasterprop?

Hey it worked fine before, it is just I never tried it with toolbar, let me repeat: it works outside of that folder directory scheme as a stand alone, but not with toolbar.

I don't think the log file would help when all I needed to do was read back a page on the thread for someone else that had the same exact problem and solve it the same exact way. It was my fault to inquire at all, instead of read a little more.

Sorry, I said that more for the next person's benefit since you already figured it out. I wanted to emphasize the importance of installing in the right place.

I would have seen the incorrect path in the log file since KSP outputs a log statement for every DLL that it loads. I must still be loading my icon the "old way" when the toolbar is not there. I am surprised that you did not have more issues.

I probably won't since I have not used that mod and I have a lot to work on (I like expansive views rather than tiny little windows), but I would not mind incorporating changes that would allow someone else to write a display that interfaces with this.

errr...

I know it gonna sound ridiculous but I can't open the GUI. I tried to activate it trough the toolbar plugin but I can't add the fuel balencer button on the bar(i.e when I try to add it, no additional button appear on the toolbar).

Is there anything I'm doing wrong?(to be honest, it's a rhetorical question: I know I am doing something wrong.)

1) Log file? This applies here too: https://github.com/taraniselsu/TacLifeSupport/wiki/Help, just replace TACLS with TACFB.

2) You probably have the same problem that RuBisCO had on the last page. I understand not reading all 30+ pages, but a page or two? Pretty please?

Oups...

Somehow, I alway forget to read a few pages before begging for help...

Anyway, I solved the problem the same way RuBisCO did(and at the same time, I did a face palm because I should have checked that in the first place).

Just make a note of it on the first post something like "If the button does not appear in toolbar, it is probably because you did not install "TacFuelBalancer" folder inside the "ThunderAerospace", the path "...GameData/ThunderAerospace/TacFuelBalancer/..." must be present for the plugin to work with toolbar."

I am going to add an InstallChecker like I did to my TAC Life Support mod. I got it from Kethane by Majiir.

[TaranisElsu]

Since it leads to a common mistake when installing my mods, I would like to gather your opinions and see if there are strong feelings one way or the other. Please answer this quick straw poll:

In your opinion, should I group all of my mods under the ThunderAerospace directory or not?

How do you edit fuel on the launch pad? I've pressed every button in the GUI I could find, and can't figure it out.

EDIT: Also, it seems there's a resize-thingy in the bottom-right of the window, but it doesn't resize via dragging. Dragging only makes it move the window. A single click (no drag) does seem to resize it by one-pixal's distance though.

EDIT 2: Also getting a lot of errors. http://i.imgur.com/oudaDjo.jpg
