[v0.24] Tarsier Space Technology (v4.5c Now with GALAXIES!!!)

[Overjay]

What do people think if I started a new 0.90 OP post using my forked version for this mod in tobyb121's absence? I'm only thinking love this mod, would love for people to keep using this awesome mod and perhaps the op title of 0.24 stops people from looking to see if it works on 0.90? Anyone have any clue to his whereabouts? I went back through his posts on this thread and everything was business as usual with lots of posts until he just stopped corresponding on 5th Oct where he was looking at some bug someone reported.. and that was it... He hasn't been on the forum since 15th November last year.

That is actually a good idea. Just write there that you'll maintain the mod until toby's return

Also, thanks for fixing the mod!

This seems like a good idea. Your work in maintaining the mod is appreciated, but likely missed by many, as it is currently buried here.

Ok, well, if anyone thinks I have done the wrong thing.. they can let me know.

But I have started a new Original Post HERE where I will maintain this MOD going forward until tobyb121 returns to the KSP scene.

One thing I notice with the Tarsier Telescopes is that I still get a heavy wobble when viewing even close objects like Minmus. There is probably something I am not doing to stop this wobble, if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, yes wobble is inevitable. It's because of the way the new autopilot works with the reaction wheels.

Here is the approach I use which seems to work fairly well.

Target the object you want to photograph use the map view or using the galaxy list.

Switch on autopilot SAS and set it to 'Target' mode. this will roughly align you with the target.

Switch on the highlight target option in the window will help you to find the object.

Once its roughly aligned change the autopilot to 'hold' mode. This reduces wobble a LOT.

Then fine tune your zoom and using the fine tuning servos attached to the telescope using the translate keyes, I,J,K,L.

Take your picture.

I will cut and paste this into my new OP post here as from now on I am maintaining this mod using that post.

I think I've found a conflict with this and Cacteye 2's telescope plugin.

I'm currently using a tech tree mod, so I don't know which nodes to zerg in a fresh Science mode game.

If some one could let me know the earliest node(s) that needs unlocked to get a Tarsier telescope that would be very helpful.

Try my caretaker version (which I am maintaining in tobyb121's absence) which is supported in 0.90. If you are using the version from this OP thread or earlier it will not work in 0.90.

Link back 2 posts from this one above.

You can check the science required for a part in the part.cfg or start a sandbox game.

Both telescopes require advScienceTech node.

Thanks.

The problem I'm having is when I try to use the experiments from either mod, so sandbox isn't an option.

Hopefully the bug disappears with your caretaker version. If not then I'll be settling in for some serious bug hunting Sunday.

anyone know if this works with 1.02?

edit: cancel that, I found v4.7

Yes, as tobyb121 has been missing in action for many months, I have taken on caretaker of this MOD and started a new thread here, here I am maintaining it.

Hi,

Whenever I take a picture of a body (Sun, Mun, Minmus, Kerbin) with a "Deep Space Telescope", right-click it, select "Check Results" and "Transmit Data", nothing is being transmitted.

In particular, it prevents me from completing my "Take a picture of the Sun" contract

If you are using this version of the mod I am not surprised.

I have been maintaining a caretaker version since KSP V0.90 here.

If you are in fact using the latest version of the mod (currently 5.2) then you will need to post more information. But please do so in the new OP as per the link above.

Follow these instructions for support.

This is an old forum thread. If you are using the version of TST from this thread it will probably not work.

Please go to the new forum thread here. Make sure you are using the latest version of TST. If you still require help please post a message on the new thread.

Thanks.

@ryan andrade

Also, 

Now that KSP 1.2 Prerelease is out, PLEASE do not expect mods to be updated quickly.  
Prerelease is for the purpose of further debugging, and gives us modders an opportunity to see the new code and work with it.  
Since prerelease is typically a moving target, I will not be releasing any "official" release of my mods until KSP goes Full 1.2 Release itself.
Sorry to disappoint you all, but I do not have the free time to be continually updating and releasing while 1.2 is still a moving target.

Has there been a new thread posted since the forum glitch a few weeks ago?
