Hi, the stage recovery don't work actually with ksp 1.3 ?

[JeffreyCor]

Not sure I quite follow that question fully, but Stage Recovery works just fine in KSP 1.3.

[PickleBranston]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not so thought I should ask before I posted it and it doesn't seem to have been mentioned here before. After recovering a plane and then launching it again the fuel hasn't been topped up. Is that right?

Cheers

[EDIT]

Apologies I've just found the edit button and fill tanks button once inside SPH, seems fine now.

For folks more experienced than me, which build do you find the most stable in a 1.3.0 installation?  Should I go straight for the 1.3.0 dev build, or use the 1.2.2 build (or something even earlier)?

[Rodhern]

Don't know about the stable part, but I prefer the more visible errors of a dev build over the lurky ones caused by version incompability.

Or maybe wait some more, for a 1.3.1 release. Or even downgrade to KSP 1.2.2.

1.2.2 not 1.22

[JeffreyCor]

I have no stability problems at all with on 1.3 dev build.

Is the latest KCT compiled for KSP 1.3.1 or 1.3.0?

1.3.0. I haven't put the 1.3.1 dlls on the build server yet. I'm not sure if the current builds have been tested with 1.3.1 yet either (I haven't tested them other than that time I nearly broke my save by updating from 1.2.2 to 1.3.1 without realizing it).

@magico13 I've been using KCT #38 for about a week now in KSP 1.3.1 and have upgraded to #39 today and played a couple of hours so far - I've not seen any problems with either build (x64 windows with ~120 mods)

I realized that you don't use the stock settings system, which broke mods in 1.3.1. So your mods should work ok in both versions (as @Aelfhe1m testifies).

That explains why ScrapYard is totally broken then since it does use the stock settings system. Good to know, thanks.

KCT dev build links are not working. It is since yesterday I can't open the page

[JeffreyCor]

Looks like the hosting server is down. 

[magico13]

Yeah, sorry about that. The build server stopped recognizing my main SSD again but this time it appears to be the computer's fault and not the SSD. It was running on 7 year old components that had been active continuously for about 5 years, so I decided it was time to upgrade. I get the components this week and it will be back up next weekend. I can post the most recent build if needed.

Only if it works for 1.31 please

I'm encountering something I'm not used to in previous iterations of KCT - after a bit of searching, and reading the guide, I'm still struggling.  

When I construct a vessel from either the VAB or SPH, it will appear in the main build list.  If I then 'scrap' the vessel from that list, it disappears (which is fine) but no money is refunded to 'funds' (less fine) - is this an intended feature of the new builds?

[JeffreyCor]

That sounds like a very bad thing. Something seems to be goofing somewhere in the scrap function for you. If you could include what build you are using and possibly a log that can help. I'll try and see if I can duplicate it when the build I'm using to help narrow down when the problem crept in.

All the builds for 1.3.0 still work with 1.3.1, but anything I put out now will be built specifically against 1.3.1 anyway. So yeah, it'll work

That definitely doesn't seem right. Are you scrapping while in the VAB/SPH? Does it work properly outside of the editor (so in the Space Center)? It's definitely unintended. Can you upload the KSP log file after recreating the issue?

Does that link to unstable KCT test versions work for you?

Use the GitHub link in the post before yours. The build server is down for the next week while I rebuild it

[New Horizons]

Thanks for all you afford. KCT is one of my most important mods in a career game. For now I am preparing my 100+ mods in KSP 1.3.1. A hell lot of work ;-)

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you on this.  I've spent a few hours on this, trying to replicate it in a clean copy of KSP.  I've also manually rebuilt my game for 1.31 (instead of using CKAN), and the issue (in both cases) has disappeared.  Sorry for wasting your time here - if I ever find it happening again i'll start with a log file rather than chasing one.

Thanks for all you put into this mod; the game wouldn't be the same without it.

Thanks for putting the time and effort into trying to reproduce that, it's appreciated. Definitely let me know if you see it again, and grab the log right away if you do!

Problems mysteriously disappearing for no apparent reason is old hat around here.
