Still looking for a volunteer who can implement my ideas for a promotion plugin, if anyone is interested...

Before I got busy a few months ago I have started a new plugin do implement this and FF has got an API for handling this.

Unfortunately KSP 1.2 will be released on tuesday - as "EU4: Rights of Man" will. And this will cause a big delay (again).

[SmarterThanMe]

I think I've said this before... But Crusader Kings is my other distraction... So completely understood.

[Nereid]

As the release of 1.2 is scheduled for tomorrow: I will upload a new version of FinalFrontier on 11-Oct at 18:00 CEST (maybe earlier if KSP 1.2 is released before 18:00 and all went well).  If KSP 1.2 is not released at 18:00 CEST, I will upload a build against 1.2-pre.

FinalFrontier will skip a minor version, so the updated will be labeled 1.2.x, because 1.1.x was a development branch for including ranks and making this branch compatible for KSP 1.2 is a risk.

Any chance you could tweak this so the toolbar is not required?  I'd be willing to help with that.  PM me if that's okay with you and we can exchange email or Skype info.

? Blizzys toolbar is not required anymore. And there is a hotkey. So, what is your suggestion?

Ah.  Nevermind then.  It's been a bit since I had time to play and was still using an old version of KSP.  I just downloaded 1.1.3 then realized that 1.2 is due out tomorrow, so I'll probably be waiting until then to play again.  Hopefully a 1.2 update for this will follow shortly.

Thanks for the reply, though.

Well FF supports the stock toolbar for quite some time. I'm still not sure, if I implemented it correctly, but... well... it works.

[Nereid]

The mission summary window is broken in the latest build of KSP 1.2 (1584). I do not believe I can fix this before 18:00, so I will disable it in the next release.

EDIT: This is a difficult one. In KSP 1.2 (maybe in 1.1.3 too and I didn't noticed it) the callback OnVesselRecovered is called mutiple times for the recovered vessel and for debris of the vessel. And I still have no clue how to add the summary to the buildin summary dialog. So the mission summary of FF is gone for a while (it was hacked into it anyway).

EDIT2: Got it back to work. But the summary window is now opened after the stock summary dialog is closed.

Ok, I have uploaded a version for KSP 1.2-PRE on spacedock. Its market as a build against KSP 0.20 because spacedock still do not know anything about KSP 1.2 and I want to make sure everybody knows that this version is not build for KSP 1.1.3.

To make it more clear, I have set the default download to the version for 1.1.3. If you want the updated version, download 1.2.0-2630  from the changelog.

Woo! FF is updated for 1.2! And I also sympathize with you as to EU4, Rights of Man is looking like it will suck up a lot of my spare time as well.

[Nereid]

Ok, 1.2 is out now. I will recompile all mods and wait until spacedock knows about the new KSP version (hopefully tomorrow). I will upload all recompiled mods then.

Love this mod! Any chance of adding it to Github (or similar) though?

I think it still doesn't work, at least in the current ckan version 1.2.0-2630

Its already on GitHub.

But the code is... well... some kind of suboptimal in some places [from a coding perspective - performance should be fine]. The whole persistence model has changed from ascii file to persistence file, from event triggered load to ScenarioModule, some old flaws of KSP may work now (and so a few workarounds are not needed anymore), some features were included later on and there are still quite a few places in the code were the Java code style is visible. Some of the code really has to be reworked.... but changing the code may introduce new bugs and my time to test it is a bit limited.

Of course it is - and I've even been following it. Nevermind me

[Nereid]

I have uploaded a new version that is build for KSP 1.2 (and not the prerelease). This should not make a real difference. The new version should have a working mission summary window again.

 

And SQUAD: please make the stock summary window available for mods. I have figured out how to add CrewWidgets to the summary window but I still have no clue how to alter the information that is shown in a widget. If anybody can enlighten me...

Nereid you are my hero. Thanks for updating one of my favourite mods just within notime. Now my little kerbals can have badges to strut their uniforms to withstand those nasty G-forces.

Sometimes. But it was very late yesterday, so I quit after a few seconds.

There seems to be a minor bug: The mission summary displays sometimes ribbons that kerbal already got in previous missions. I will take a closer look at this tomorrow.

My issue just before was no ribbons in summary despite 2 Kerbals having earned some. (One was rescued so brand new crew the other earned at least 1 new ribbon).

Nothing in log, will try to repro.

I had to change the way the earned ribbons are detected, because of KSP 1.2. It was a quick hack as it was implemented long ago, but it worked. Dunno why its not working anymore.

Oh they actually got their ribbons. They just weren't displayed in the Summary.

Yes, the summary is sometimes incorrect at the moment.

Ah sorry misunderstanding. Thought you were referring overall to ribbon generation. No biggy then - summary screen is only eye candy
