Hitchhiker Storage Container...can't put any kerbals in??

[detman101]

Hello,

I have 0.20 and built a new mun base out of the PPD-10 hitchhiker containers and other parts.

When I finally landed the base on the mun, I found out that sadly, I could not put any of my EVA'd kerbals into it.

I kept getting a message saying "Cannot board a full module" even though all of the containers were empty with a crew count of "0".

Is this a bug, or is there some mod that has corrupted my "crewCabin" .cfg file?

I installed the "Mechjeb Command pods" mod and I think it moved my PPD-10 to the pods section and hosed it.

But does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?

I will do a secondary install and grab the original files if worse comes to worse.

Thanks,

Dm

Looks like a bug. It would appear that it is viewing a count of 0/0 as full, where it should obviously be 0/10. I guess it just compares the two numbers to determine if the pod is full rather than looking at the actual value of the number.

Hitchhikers only hold 4 Kerbals anyway, so it should say 0/4

Are you using any addons?

Looks like the only stock parts on that image are the container and solar arrays.

Oh yeah, what about plugins though? Those are most likely to mess with KSP in some way but I don't recall any that make the Hitchhiker unusable.

He has crew manifest installed, that plays with that type of module specifically. Also look at the "board" message he has, it doesn't say press F to board as it should.

I think if he goes and deletes the .cfg for the hitch hiker can and reinstalls it from the .zip of the game it may fix it potentially.

Edit: it was most certainly the command pod mod he installed, reverting to the stock can should probably fix it. That mod may not have been properly updated for 0.20*

Awesome, Thank you.

That is what I'll do tomorrow night then.

Having too much fun today with .20. Mechjeb actually works now!!

This is sooo awesome!

Did the above suggestion fix your issue with the pod not accepting any crew?

Wondering that myself, but no news is good news!

I solved it without having to reinstall. In the hitchhiker part.cfg, there is a line "CrewCapacity = 4" it is correct, but you need to move it higher up in the file. That fixes the problem.

Oh yeah, it was the name that threw me. Imagine my surprise to be told mine was full while trying to get a 5th Kerbal to board.

[TBryson2]

You have to place it above the "}" a few lines above where it currently is.

I'm getting this bug too, if anyone has any other suggestions?

The part itself has the correct number for the crew amount, but when I put it on my station it tells me I can't board it, and that it has a crew of 0 out of 0.

[detman101]

Thank you all. I replaced the messed up folder with a newly installed version and it all works out perfect.

So... any ideas? I haven't got Crew Manifest installed, and my config file for the part looks fine.

In the "part.cfg" file for the "crewCabin", move the line "CrewCapacity = 4" to the area above "cost = 4000"

That is the simplest way to tell you. Works fine for me at this location.

Works fine... that's odd. Is that line higher up in the other pod parts? Wonder why that's causing an issue. Thanks!
