[1.2.0] Toolbar 1.7.13 - Common API for draggable/resizable buttons toolbar

[blizzy78]

So i got Toolbar installed into my Gamedata folder and run KSP, but it doesn't show up whatsoever.

Do you have any plugins installed that are using the Toolbar Plugin? The plugin does not do anything on its own, it needs to be told.

I have Infernal Robotics installed, the 23.0 version because the 23.5 version is broken.

I'll try to reinstall that mod once more.

Does this mod let you deal with the KSP bug where you set up action groups on a mirrored part (eg wing), then detatch the part and re-attach it. When you re-attach it, it breaks all the action groups for the mirrored side?

Some way for it to automatically fix the error while in the editor would be nice.

The Toolbar Plugin does not do anything with action groups.

[Jeffiewhite]

Ok i have reinstalled the Infernal Robotics mod but it still ain't working, i've installed another mod called KSPInterstellar and that one shows the toolbar.

Should've thought of it earlier, but it seems to be the Infernal Robotics is not loading/showing well.

In any case the toolbar seems to be working fine!!!

Edit: Seems to be that Infernal Robotics works now aswell, perhaps reinstalling that mod should've been my first thought..

Sorry to have bothered you with this, but i hope the have a lot of fun with it from now on Thanks for your work on this!!!

Can you post a screen shot of your flight screen? I don't want to seem silly but every now and then I find that it's hard to see because it's a little translucent. Also, IR now has a working DLL, It is AWSOME! I am so happy!

Hmm, I appear to have posted on completely the wrong thread. Apologies.

[xrayfishx]

I cba to go through a crapton of posts to see if anyone else has this problem, but the new versions don't work for me.

I use 1.4.0 toolbar, because the newer ones create horrible lag. I don't know exactly in which version the problem appears, but 1.4.0 doesn't have it, 1.7.x does, probably 1.6.x too, no idea about 1.5.x.

No, your computer shouldn't explode if you had all that. Mine isn't exactly a supercomputer either.

Any ideas? I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything, but the "UPDATE PLS" icon is slightly annoying, since hitting it means another 32bit program opening, resulting in an increased risk of KSP crashing.

I'm having a little trouble, but I want to clarify I'm not entirely sure that it is being caused by the mod, it's affecting it though and I figured someone else here may have also encountered it and could point me towards a fix. So the Toolbar works great, I really love it. However one of the icons appears to be causing problems. My Kerbal Alarm Clock is working fine, but the image in the toolbar doesn't load and if I add the alarm clock to the toolbar it causes the toolbars shape to randomly change, adding one single icon on a row alone below the rest which seems to react to mouse movements making everything really hard to target.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

This sounds like you didn't install Kerbal Alarm Clock at the right location. Please see your output_log.txt and check for any "button texture not found" messages.

Yeah that's exactly what I did, been a while since I made such a simple mistake of not checking the folders before installing. Thanks man, got it working now. Just noticed the Kethane controls are also not showing up so I'm guessing I probably got lazy when installing that too, need to check that one next.

[S4qFBxkFFg]

edit2: the first problem is fixed now, although I don't know how I did it...

Something strange is happening with the toolbar in the tracking station screen - when I go to the tracking station, the toolbar is positioned over the time accelerate buttons, I can unlock it, move it where I want, then relock it (this all seems to work as intended).

However, the problem is that when I leave the tracking station and come back, the toolbar is again sitting on top of the time accelerate buttons.

(I tried deleting the toolbar-settings.dat file in the GameData folder but that didn't seem to help.)

edit: also, is it possible to disable the controls that are underneath the toolbar? It appears to be passing mouse clicks through itself to whatever UI element is beneath it.

OK wow, it looks like that's my problem too. I was about ready to just uninstall Toolbar, because it flickers so much I can't even click on it. I found those errors.

It is actually the same plugin. Scott Manley just didn't get the latest version from this thread, but chose to use a bundled version instead.

Hey, I've got little idea for feature - toolbar could remember which windows user has on each screen and open/close when switching screens. For example: mechjeb node editor and planner is kinda useless outside map view, the same goes for sass in map view.

[blizzy78]

I don't think that is going to happen because that would require the Toolbar Plugin to communicate with those other plugins and tell them to open/close their windows. It also would have no way to know what is inside each window. At this time the Toolbar Plugin just doesn't really care what is going to happen when you click a particular button. It could do anything.

It could do anything.

I'll admit I have little knowledge of (modern) programming; but since the toolbar already stores what buttons are visible on a given screen; wouldn't it be possible to store the buttons last state on a particular screen as well? You wouldn't really have to care WHAT the button does; just whether it was clicked once ("on") or twice ("off"); and then when a scene changes; simulate a click for each button that was last stored as "on."

Basically; the button could open a webpage showing Hamster Dance; but toolbar shouldn't care; it just has to tell the button that the user clicked it as if they really had.

In pseudo-code....

on_scene_change($scene) {
  load button_status ($scene."_status.cfg");
  while $button_status != EOF; do { if $button_status[$i] == 1 { simulate_click_on_button; $i++} }
}

on_button_click {
 if $button_status == 1 { $button_status = 0 } //button was on but was just clicked; store value as off
 else { $button_status = 1 } //button was off and was just clicked, store it as such
}

Like I said; my knowledge of things is quite dated; and I don't know if KSP / Unity would allow for this easily or not; though. Then again maybe I'm mis-understanding you and you mean that KSP / Unity doesn't have a method of "click simulation" and you'd have to basically have your own API where toolbar would have to tell the individual (other) plugins what their status was the last time; and rely on the (other) plugin makers to put the API to use. If that's the case; well aren't we already half-way there now? I mean it's up to the plugin makers now to determine what their buttons do already; a little more work to give the option of storing it's last state couldn't be TOO hard right :-D

Please don't spread false information, thank you very much.

Unless you can show evidence supporting such accusations, these are to be considered an attempt to discredit someone, as such against rule 2.2.d of the forum rules.

Even in case you had a report from an anti-malware software, it could easily be a false positive. The toolbar is used by many users here (me included) and nobody else ever had such issues.

But, in case, provide notice of what you found, that will allow to see what the issue was and to correct it, in case.

Hi blizzy, does the last release should/would be compatible with previous one(s) ? Or is it designed specifically to work only with 0.23.5 ?

Thanks.

[blizzy78]

Hi blizzy, does the last release should/would be compatible with previous one(s) ?

It should work fine with 0.23.0, despite the warning.

[Justin Kerbice]

It should work fine with 0.23.0, despite the warning.

That's what I saw (confusing in fact), any way to get rid of this warning ?
