[1.0.4][WIP][IVA,PLUGIN] ProbeControlRoom 1.0-beta10a - IVA All the things! - NotSoShaky

[majNUN]

Chance that this will be updated to 1.1.3?

[LtMtz]

Hello Tabakhase,

i only know your fine mod from pictures because i cant play it on 1.1.3.. I think your mod is mandatory to make this game a perfect experience.
It would be realy kind if you could make an updated version for 1.1.3.!

Thanks for the time you've already invested on this great mod.

Sincerely LtMtz

[LeCorbeauQuiJoue]

+1 !

WE need this mod, this is the best mod ever I can't play without it.

Please update it, or give it up, but say us something

[Kendricks]

I guess it is pretty much abandoned.

I am not sure, how are the 'rules' in the community regarding abandoned projects?

Would be great if someone could bring it up to date, or actually, re-do it from scratch. The original mod was a great idea, but quality-wise more a proof-of-concept.

[Artfact]

Indeed. Raath posted a patch of code that would supposedly fix the mod for 1.1 partially, on the previous page. Anyone with experience willing to have a go at it with that?:(

I think all he posted was his patched version and the errors it put in the log. It looks like you already tried that and couldn't get it to work.

It's a shame nobody with the skills to update this mod has the time and motivation to actually finish the job - this is a great mod, and I was really looking forward to using it in my new install. If I understood anything about how it worked, I'd try my hand at updating it myself.

[Artfact]

Yeah, but I had hoped someone might work from these snippets to do something better. It really is a shame and I am frankly refusing to do much unmanned work without it.:)

[Stone Blue]

Yeah, its a shame no one wants to pick this up.... This mod is pretty unique... There's a whole, empty niche out there for this type of mod, and no one seems to want to fill it...

About the closest thing is Telemachus... And THAT mod was struggling for quite awhile... ( though there were several attempts at similar mods, that pretty much died on the vine...)

[Guest]

I wish this mod worked for 1.1.

 

[icedown]

It does, sort of.

Spoiler

None of the screens are responding to input yet.  Something has changed with the IVA controls, still trying to figure that out. I think it doesn't like going IVA without kerbals on board any more since it's not triggering the collapse of UI groups that should collapse on IVA. 

I have messaged the current owner to see if he doesn't mind me taking it over if he does not wish to continue.  If I get it up and running before I here back from him, I will probably start a continued version.  If he wishes to continue, I'll simply submit it as pull requests.

I did not, I'll incorporate that once I get the interface working.  It doesn't play well with the ALCOR mfds at the moment, apparently their rotation and scaling is off.

It would be awesome if you fix this mod

Sadly, at this point I'm not sure if it's possible.  I'm trying to find a way but some part of the game is blocking input to the IVA since no kerbals are on board.   Still trying to find a way around this.  I'm going to keep trying until I find out for sure one way or another.

[LeCorbeauQuiJoue]

Good luck man, this mod if the best mod ever. If you'll fix it, you'll be my hero

wouldnt it be possible to "man" the probes but making the kerbal invincible at the same time or to respawn him in case of catastrophic failure? I have no idea if you can make kerbs immortal only for certain command parts. but if its possible, it would be a good workaround designwise...

I have thought about this approach but it has some issues.   Any time I put a kerbal in there it becomes a manned mission while in the IVA. This poses problems with both life support mods and progression checks.  I'm waiting to hear back from the devs right now to see if they can suggest a way around this limitation.

I am already in contact with them, they have just been busy with the release.

[Jiraiyah]

I can wait, thanks for doing this for us!

Have you asked Moardv? As hes maintaining RPM and creating a new alternative mod being very active in the community he might have an idea on this issue.

He was the first one I went to

[Poldor]

Thought so. Was suggesting just in case.

[Lenniepen]

Hi,

I've never come across this mod before, but lately I'm trying to play IVA-only style, so this mod would fit perfectly for unmanned probes to give a feeling of controlling it from a mission control room at Earth, instead of 'being out there'.

I really hope you can make it work for KSP 1.2!
