[1.2.0][WIP, PLUGIN][0.11.9.8][30/10/2016] KeepFit - Kerbal fitness degradation

[Fraz86]

I'm a bit torn on the "crew utilize best available activity level on vessel" issue. On the one hand, I'm glad I don't need to micromanage constant crew transfers; it's reasonable to assume that my Kerbals move around the spacecraft on their own. On the other hand, it seems cheesy that I can achieve a "neutral" comfort status for the entirety of a large crew by installing a single Cupola somewhere on the vessel.

Ideally, I would like KeepFit to track the number of seats available at each comfort rating, and automatically assign those statuses to crew based on level of need. For example, with 2 Kerbals on a vessel composed of a Mk2 Lander Cabin and a Cupola, one Kerbal would be "comfy" and the other would be "neutral," regardless of where the Kerbals happen to be located within the craft. The neutral status would be assigned to the Kerbal with the lower fitness level.

Rebuilt for 1.0.2 - no big issues to fix for 1.0.2, just rebuilt and updated version compatibility

[timmers_uk]

Hmm .... this re-entry is a bit 'spicy', Gee load is going to be a bit high when I open the chutes. Good job I don't have KeepFit enabled on this career ga-

Yeah, so I didn't disable the Gee based Kerbal Killer when KeepFit isn't enabled for the game save.

Which was bad.

For Jeb.

RIP Jeb.

Fixed in 0.4.3.1.

Would this yet work with G-forces experienced from a rotating vessel during time warp/in background while using the Persistent Rotation mod?

I don't think so, unless the mod is updating the vessel's Gee - you'd know it was I think, if the stick G bar works.

Timmers,

I have a few config updates/additions for you. Firstly, StockPartChanges.cfg is missing the new Mk3 parts. Here are the values I suggest:

@PART[mk3Cockpit_Shuttle]:NEEDS[KeepFit]:AFTER[KeepFit]
{
    MODULE
    {
        name = KeepFitPartModule
	strActivityLevel = CRAMPED
    }
}
@PART[mk3CrewCabin]:NEEDS[KeepFit]:AFTER[KeepFit]
{
    MODULE
    {
        name = KeepFitPartModule
	strActivityLevel = COMFY
    }
}

Next, this is my suggested config for Near Future Spacecraft:

@PART[utilityCabin]:NEEDS[KeepFit]:AFTER[KeepFit]
{
    MODULE
    {
        name = KeepFitPartModule
	strActivityLevel = COMFY
    }
}
@PART[mk3-9pod]:NEEDS[KeepFit]:AFTER[KeepFit]
{
    MODULE
    {
        name = KeepFitPartModule
	strActivityLevel = COMFY
    }
}
@PART[inlineCmdPod]:NEEDS[KeepFit]:AFTER[KeepFit]
{
    MODULE
    {
        name = KeepFitPartModule
	strActivityLevel = COMFY
    }
}

Lastly, here is my suggested config for Stockalike Station Parts:

@PART[crewpod-cupola-375]:NEEDS[KeepFit]:AFTER[KeepFit]
{
    MODULE
    {
        name = KeepFitPartModule
	strActivityLevel = COMFY
    }
}
@PART[crewtube-25-375-1]:NEEDS[KeepFit]:AFTER[KeepFit]

	strActivityLevel = NEUTRAL
    }
}
@PART[crewpod-observation-25]:NEEDS[KeepFit]:AFTER[KeepFit]
{
    MODULE
    {
        name = KeepFitPartModule
	strActivityLevel = NEUTRAL
    }
}
@PART[crewpod-habitation-25]:NEEDS[KeepFit]:AFTER[KeepFit]

Stupid Question:

I installed (and updated) the mod a while ago. Yesterday i recognized

that some of my busy Kerbs are at 0% Health and Fitness. What will then happen?

Will they "die" in lack of muscles? How can i let them exercise (in a small capsule)?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Do the centrifuges work with this mod and where can I get one?

Hmmm... you have a couple of options, 3 if you consider cheating and turning on wimpmode (actually its worth checking KeepFit is fully enabled on the save in any case)

1) Get your weakling crewmember into somewhere that has an activity level of EXERCISING - PorkJet's habitat pack centrifuge has it, as does the MKS inflatable habring.

2) Carefully land your osteoporosis suffering kerbal avoiding high-Gee descents, just like with the MIR long duration Cosmonauts - once landed they automatically move to EXERCISING, and if you recover them, they also start exercising

Another cheaty option would be to modify the MM configs of KeepFit to make the capsule say they are exercising... but, again, cheaty.

If you go for option 2, spaceplane descents are most forgiving IIRC.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

See above response - RoverDude's OKS Centrifuge works with this mod, as does the one from PorkJet's habitat pack.

[Fraz86]

Timmers,

Thank you for your continued work on this mod!

My biggest frustration continues to be the ease with which one can practically circumvent fitness considerations by attaching a single cupola and thus achieving a "neutral" comfort status for an entire spacecraft. There is no real advantage to the hitchhiker or larger habitation modules provided by mods.

I described my ideal solution in a previous post (i.e., tracking the total number of "seats" available at each comfort level throughout the spacecraft and automatically assigning these statuses to crew based on level of need). If this solution is not feasible, then I would at least prefer that Kerbals simply receive the comfort level of the part in which they are currently located. Though somewhat sub-optimal because it requires micro-management to rotate crew between parts, this option would provide a strong incentive to have a greater number of high comfort seats available.

I'm pretty sure that KeepFit isn't actually currently testing for the best part on the vessel. I'm also sure I found a horrible horrible persistence bug resulting in the activity level on parts being lost on save/load, and defaulting everything down to 'cramped'!

Awesome, thank you!

Would it be possible for a part's comfort level to appear in the part menu expanded tooltip (i.e., where modules and resources are listed)? Currently it seems that I must actually place a part and right-click on it to see it's comfort level. It's not a huge problem, so if it would require a lot of effort, don't worry about it, but it would be a nice feature if it isn't much trouble.

I was thinking about that myself. If i can work out how to do it, I will.

0.7.1.1 Released

• Added optional support for ConnectedLivingSpace - if CLS is installed, config can be set so that Kerbals are assumed to have access to the 'best' location for ActivityLevel in the space that is accessible to them according to CLS.
  
• Switched applauncher icon to DDS.
  
• Added activity level description to VAB/SPH parts browser

Wow, that was fast! CLS integration is a great feature, though I think I'll have to continue using the "current location" comfort level until there's a system in place to prevent 5 Kerbals from all getting neutral status from a single cupola.

Honestly, though, this mod is progressing really nicely. More people should know about it. Have you considered making a release thread, perhaps after just a few more UI improvements?

I really want to redo the UI, as it was my first encounter with unity UI, and it shows. Trouble is that life and work are too busy to give me the good block of time I need for it. Hopefully if I'll get some time next month, hut I'd not want to count on it, safly

I completely understand! Real life comes first. Take your time; it's already a fun and interesting mod!

In the config I provided for Stockalike Station Parts, I failed to realize that airlocks can hold crew, so I missed a couple parts. Here they are:

@PART[crewtube-airlock-125]:NEEDS[KeepFit]:AFTER[KeepFit]
{
    MODULE
    {
        name = KeepFitPartModule
	strActivityLevel = CRAMPED
    }
}

{
    MODULE
    {
        name = KeepFitPartModule
	strActivityLevel = CRAMPED
    }
}

[1.0.2] KSP KeepFit 0.7.1.1 - A Kerbal In-mission Fitness Degradation and Gee Loading Addon

TLDR;

A plugin to track kerbal fitness levels and impact their G-tolerance as a result of spending years bunged up in tiny capsules.

http://imgur.com/a/fRw30

Summary of Features

- All Kerbals have a fitness level

- Each capsule has a defined 'activity level' defining the comfort, room, and built-in fitness capabilities for crew in flight.

- All Kerbals are now subscribed to a regime of calistheni caliths ... workouts whilst not on missions to recover their fitness levels.

- All Kerbals fitness levels go up or down based on their opportunities for exercise (not just active vessel).

- In-flight display of Kerbals fitness levels and Gee loading

- Kerbals in active vessel are affected by their current Gee loading

- Separate tracking of short and longer term Gee loading (1 and 5 seconds, and 1 and 5 minute aggregates), with lower tolerances for longer term Gee overload

- Fitness levels impact Gee tolerance

- Visible warning if crew experience dangerous Gee loading

- Excessive Gee May cause Untimely Death of crew!

- Per save configuration settings

- Enable or disable KeepFit without removing addon

- Crew fitness levels, settings, and Gee data saved in main game persistence file - revert friendly!

- 'WimpMode' to turn Fatal Gee into G-Loss of Consciousness (currently notification only).

- Truly Ugly full roster view in Tracking Station and VAB/SPH

- Uncounted undetected bugs!

- Special extra bonus for using Habitat Pack, as Porkworks Centrifuge part is currently the only part configured by default to bestow EXERCISE on crew on missions

How to add the KeepFit part module to your parts

Whilst KeepFit makes a wild stab in the dark at choosing a reasonable fitness level to apply to crewed parts, you probably want to add your own configs for your favourite parts if you feel they shouldn't be assumed to be 'cramped' (by default all crewed parts are cramped, as per the Mercury quote 'You didn't so much get into it as wear it' (though dammit I can't find the original quote now).

Using modulemanager scripts, you add the module which allows the activity level to be defined for a part, which then goes to affect how quickly your crew's fitness degrades. See below for an example. All you have to do is create a .cfg file, and replace the named parts in the example with the part name (from the part.cfg file, not its name in the parts list in the editor), and choose an activity level for strActivityLevel from the available :-

1. CRAMPED
   
2. COMFY
   
3. NEUTRAL
   
4. EXERCISING
   

// slightly better
@PART[mk2LanderCabin]
{
    MODULE
    {
        name = KeepFitPartModule
    strActivityLevel = COMFY
    }
}

// even more palatable
@PART[cupola]
{
    MODULE
    {
        name = KeepFitPartModule
    strActivityLevel = NEUTRAL
    }
}

  [*]1.0.25 - Removed egregious 'helloworld' window from KeepFitPartModule in-flight UI

  [*]1.0.17 - 1.0.24 - Battled the beast that is AppVeyor (https://ci.appveyor.com) to get automated build + package generation

  [*]1.0.11 - 1.0.16

  • KeepFitPartModule now contains definition of activityLevel on attached part, vessel takes 'best' activity level among component parts
    
  • Landed vessels now take activityLevel to EXERCISING
    
  • In-flight UI inspired by/copied from (ish) Alternate Resource Panel. Now displays Gee loading breakdown + fitness of active vessel crew
    
  • Fixed it, broke it, fixed it (repeat x99)

How would one go about disabling Deady Re-entry's G-force thingy in favor of this?

[timmers_uk]

How would one go about disabling Deady Re-entry's G-force thingy in favor of this?

I think you'd need to ask @Starwaster for sure, as that's not my train set - from looking at the configs in the source, there isnt a single 'disable gee effects' config option, though you may be able to set the various crewGee limit numbers so high, it never kicks in?

[JeffreyCor]

When I used to use DR I'd edit the config for the G factors to add a bunch of 0's at the end to make it not do anything unless there was an impossible amount.

[iVG]

Hi, can anyone explain the estimated flight times for the different levels - cramped, comfy, neutral, exercising, for example would a crew of 3 survive a trip to Duna and back in a 'Comfy' state of the 3 man capsule? Is it better to stick a hitch hiker module for interplanetary travel to raise the level to neutral? How fast do they lose fitness level and what kind of accommodation is necessary for the closest two planets? A simple clarification would help a whole lot, thanks!

[timmers_uk]

New release - 0.7.2.1
