[1.8.x-1.12.x] Module Manager 4.2.3 (July 03th 2023) - Fireworks season

[complynx]

Thank you for your answer.

For the first two cases, I can use regexps nevertheless, but is there any other solution?

In case of splitting parsing into two cases depending on just recently added variable?

For the second case, maybe there is a better solution to distinguish these situations: to use regexp variable extraction or to use escape sequence?

If the dollar sign is appeared twice it will be replaced as dollar sign, otherwise it is considered as a variable.

And a variable replacement is to be done before regexp or other expression.

So for my case the solution would be:

@var_to_update ^= #:^.*$$:$$0;$var_to_paste$:

and the process in the parser:

1) Is there a hash at the right side?

2) If no hash, skip to 4

3) Find every /\$([^\$]*)\$/ and replace with var referenced by the first match if it is not empty, else replace with $

4) Do the expression stuff. In this case regexp replacement.

For my "SMURFF" addon, I'm working on a patch that increases SRBs Isp by 40 seconds. Here's what I've got so far:

@PART
[*]:HAS[@RESOURCE[SolidFuel]]:FOR[SMURFF]
{
    [...]

    @MODULE[ModuleEngines*]:HAS[@PROPELLANT[SolidFuel]]
    {
        key0 = #$atmosphereCurve/key,0[1, ]$ //get the keys -- the second element of the first space-separated list called "key".
        key1 = #$atmosphereCurve/key,1[1, ]$
        @key0 += 40 //modify values -- add 40 seconds to bring Kickback close to Space Shuttle SRBs.
        @key1 += 40
        @atmosphereCurve //Unfortunately, this will wipe any tangents until I figure out a way to identify which keys have tangents and which don't. SRBs usually don't have any, but the "1" key of RLA Stockalike's SRBs do.
        {
            @key,0 = #$key,0[0, ]$ $../key0$ //$key,0[2, ]$ $key,0[3, ]$
            @key,1 = #$key,1[0, ]$ $../key1$ //$key,1[2, ]$ $key,1[3, ]$
        }
    }

    [...]
}

I can extract the current specific impulses and modify them (even if the atmosphereCurve has tangents), but putting them back in is the tricky part, because I don't know of a way to know in advance if a key has two elements or four. The patch above, as it stands, will just squash any tangents; if I uncomment out the second half of each line, then keys that have tangents will keep them, but keys that don't will have their elements duplicated (e.g. key = 0 285 0 285 0 285). I've tried playing with regexes (e.g. @MODULE[ModuleEngines*]:HAS[@PROPELLANT[solidFuel],@atmosphereCurve:HAS[#key,1[1.\d+.*]]] to try to filter out only engines whose second key is more than "1 [number]") but those don't seem to work in HAS blocks (not that I was really expecting them to, but it would have been a pleasant surprise if they did).

Is there a way to figure out in advance how many elements are in a character-separated list?

djnattyd : can you try this one ModuleManager-2.6.9.zip and put your log somewhere ?

Kerbas_ad_astra : nope. I should maybe report an empty string when the value is not found.

[sarbian]

I am on crush mode at work and then on holiday from September the 10th to October the 12th.

That means MM (and my other mods) are on hold until I am back from Japan

[RobertJPowell]

Enjoy your holiday Sarbian

have a good time sarbian

I guess this is a bad time for a bug report, but here goes (it can wait until you're back): Module Manager doesn't play nice with full-screen OpenGL.

Reproduction steps:

1. Stock KSP plus Module Manager, set to fullscreen and opening with -force-opengl launch option.

2. Attempt to open "Settings" from the main menu.

3. KSP hangs on the loading screen.

If PartDatabase.cfg or settings.cfg is deleted before startup (i.e. regenerated by KSP), then the issue doesn't occur.

Adding -popupwindow to the launch options (and disabling full-screen) also works around the issue.

Have fun on vacation, sarbian -- see you in October!

So that's why I can't modify my settings without using a fully stock version of KSP and transferring over the settings file...

Huh... nice to know! Thanks for figuring this out, as I was just dealing with it.

I was unable to repro using your provided steps. KSP loads and the settings menu opens for me as expected.

You really need to provide a log file with a report like this.

[ainamogel]

I'm sorry if this is completely obvious, but is there some way to see the results of MM's actions on .cfg file without running KSP and seeing the effect in the game? That is, is there an easy way to see what the .cfg file would like after MM is done operating on it?

Thanks so much,

Ainamogel

I have that same problem, thought it would be a general problem with OpenGL O.o

Does it work when you ALT+ENTER (toggle fullscreen) in the main menu before you hit "Settings"? Have to test that.

[sarbian]

1) test with https://ksp.sarbian.com/jenkins/job/ModuleManager/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/ModuleManager-2.6.9.zip

2) post the full output_log.txt (see this post)

ainamogel : MM create a cache file in GameData just after running (so in the loading screen) that show the state of the config after patching

Results from testing (including trying alt-enter before entering settings)

2.6.8, nonresponsive when going directly to settings: https://gist.github.com/Kerbas-ad-astra/b51226e0aa0b6d974a00#file-output_log_268_fullscreen_unresponsive-txt

2.6.8, alt-enter, could enter settings and return: https://gist.github.com/Kerbas-ad-astra/b51226e0aa0b6d974a00#file-output_log_268_fullscreen_altenter-txt

2.6.9, nonresponsive when going directly to settings: https://gist.github.com/Kerbas-ad-astra/b51226e0aa0b6d974a00#file-output_log_269_fullscreen_nonresponsive-txt

2.6.9, alt-enter, could enter settings and return: https://gist.github.com/Kerbas-ad-astra/b51226e0aa0b6d974a00#file-output_log_269_fullscreen_altenter-txt

I wanted to see what would happen if I tried pressing alt-enter after going to settings (i.e. while it hangs on the loading screen), but the issue's just stopped happening (for 2.6.8 as well as 2.6.9). No mods on the test install right now (just Module Manager and KSP 1.0.4 with OpenGL), so there must be some weird system thing going on. If the issue starts happening again, I'll try Alt-Enter after the game hangs, and tell you what happens.

[sarbian]

Nothing out of the ordinary in any of those logs. I see your KSP is under C:\Program Files (x86). Try moving the KSP dir outside "C:\Program Files (x86)" (Create a C:\Game or something like that and moove the game from there). It may be a strange Anti Virus or Windows Protection interaction.

36H before the plane ! Work is done ! Woooo

[Kerbas_ad_astra]

I think I was mistaken -- it's alt-tabbing that's the issue, independent of Module Manager (i.e. stock KSP is affected) and install location. (I may have thought ModuleManager was to blame since I am more likely to alt-tab away from the game when it's installed, whether I have other mods or not.) When I don't alt-tab away from the game during loading, settings opens fine. Alt-tabbing away during loading makes it show the black screen when settings is opened, as does alt-tabbing away from and then back to the settings window (only while fullscreen, no -popupwindow, OpenGL). Toggling fullscreen mode with Alt-Enter clears the black screen and shows the settings properly. Sorry for the confusion!

IIRC alt-tabbing with the full screen setting is a known problem.

[Starwaster]

alt-tabbing is like Russian Roulette.

It might cause no problems at all or it might crash the application (whichever fullscreen app du jour). Or cause graphical glitches in the game. (L4D2 tends to result in black skinned zombies and transparency issues)

Pre KSP 1.0 it would throw lots of errors if in DX mode.

In general, do it at your own risk. If you get away with it, 'more power to you' . If you crash and burn "I told you so"

Hey

i am running ksp 1.0.4, a clean reinstall of it now and for some reason module manager only loads on 2.6.6 or lower... In version 2.6.7 or 2.6.8 it just doesnt load and only says "ModuleManager" in the loading bar forever. Any idea how i could fix that or what i could be doing wrong?

Thx

Using anything above 2.6.6 is freezing displaying nothing but "Module Manager" in the loading bar. The random quotes do continue changing though.

Tested versions 2.6.7-2.6.10 All with the same results.

Don't run KSP from your desktop, that has limited permissions. Make a folder under C:\, like 'Games', and put the KSP folder there.

New in the computer industry: keep your file structure safe by downgrading to an all-natural, environment-friendly, and sometimes even green desktop solution in the form of your very own stone tablet complete with a hand-made chisel and hammer combo pack. Never deal with computer viruses again! The only viruses that'll attack you are the gooey slimy kind. (warranty void if kicked, rolled, spat on, used for target practice, used to sacrifice your neighbors to a deity, dipped in water, submerged in lava, left in the weather for any more than 3 years unattended, or touched by viscous slime. Acid exposure has not been reported on, as no one has survived. Can be used as pillow or recreational copulation surface when not in use in its intended form.)

[deepfield]

Right on. Moving it did solve the problem.

For years I've stored 2-3 games that I heavily mod and access the folder of frequently and never once had an issue until now with UAC. What is MM doing that UAC is blocking it?

I've never heard of storing large files on your desktop causing windows to slow down. Nothing is "stored on a desktop" It's just in a folder on your hard drive. The only thing I can think of that would have an effect on that would be search indexer?

[NathanKell]

MM is an unsigned dll loaded by KSP, so Windows freaks when it tries to write files.
