Hi,

Awesome mod! I've been using it for a while now(when I was on 1.1.3) but I tried downloading and installing this pre-release for 1.2 and I've copied the GameData contents to the GameData folder for KSP and unzipped the python client zip file but I'm a little confused as to where I'm meant to move it to(i'm on Windows btw). I've only ever used pip.exe to install krpc before so I'm a little unfamiliar with manual installation. Once the official release is out I'll probably revert to using pip.exe but in the meantime any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You can install the pre-release python client using pip too! Just pass it the path to the zip file. Or use this and it will download it too:

pip.exe install --upgrade https://krpc.s3.amazonaws.com/deploy/feature/ksp-1.2/714.1/client/krpc-python-0.3.6-61-g0f6458a.zip

Thanks! It works now.

Hi @djungelorm! Excellent work on this mod, I really enjoy it, great to see so much progress on 1.2 already.

I've a request: Contracts, would it be possible to have clients support getting Active contracts and their text? Shall I put the request on the Github project page?

Cheers!

22.5 KM is too small to do a spacex type landing and launching the satellite and the same time :(. Any other way of making this work?

For the record, it's actually 2.5km. Unless it has changed in the last 2 versions of KSP.

I've tried the prerelease. Followed all the steps (including pip command). I opened my Handsfree 2.0 rocket and tried my little Python script (as seen in this video) and it all worked.

Good work!

Got it working nevermind

Hi, yes please open an issue on GitHub. It's the best place to avoid requests getting lost!

Keep up the good work. I love this mod

Hi @djungelorm

  Just getting back into this after some real life intrusions! Thanks for the dev build! I am noticing a couple of issues now compared to 0.3.6 on 1.1.3. I am running the latest dev build and python has been updated using the PIP instructions you provided in a previous post.

Firstly, camera mode query is throwing an error.

>>> import krpc
>>> conn = krpc.connect(name='Game Controller')
>>> vessel = conn.space_center.active_vessel
>>> cam = conn.space_center.camera
>>> cam.mode
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 1, in <lambda>
  File "C:\Users\petern\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\krpc\client.py", line 88, in _invoke
    raise RPCError(response.error)
krpc.error.RPCError: Field '.MapView.MapIsEnabled' not found.

Second, i am struggling with propellants, as 'total_resource_available' and 'total_resource_capacity' give errors.

>>> y
<SpaceCenter.Propellant remote object #56>
>>> y.name
'LiquidFuel'
>>> y.total_resource_available
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 1, in <lambda>
  File "C:\Users\petern\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\krpc\client.py", line 88, in _invoke
    raise RPCError(response.error)

Can you let me know if these are related to changes in the latest versions, or if they are bugs?

Cheers

Pete

Is there a way to get extended action groups working? Obviously it throws an exception after 9. I found the code that does this. 

   /// <summary>
        /// Toggles the state of the given action group.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="group">A number between 0 and 9 inclusive.</param>
        [KRPCMethod]
        public void ToggleActionGroup (uint group)
        {
            if (group > 9)
                throw new ArgumentException ("Action group must be between 0 and 9 inclusive");
            InternalVessel.ActionGroups.ToggleGroup (ActionGroupExtensions.GetActionGroup (group));

Im fairly new to programming and I only use python right now so bear with me.

Would changing the exception from 9 to 250 work? Of course it wouldnt throw an exception anymore, but would it toggle the action groups past 9? The mod works for kos, and says that it just continues the same numbering scheme past 9. I could be way off. Anyone have any insight? I am building a simulator that will have no hud so I will need buttons to control literally everything. Way more than 10. Hopefully I can get this figured out

@Kotagi It is a bit more complicated then that.

I've made a pull request here with the needed changes.

Note that I do not have the time to download KRPC and actually test this, but that is the code that works in RemoteTech and kOS integration so it is good.

The only thing is that I had to add the ActionGroupExtendedMod class for code that needs to be in KRPC, there is probably a better place in the project's file structure to place it, but as I'm not familiar with it I'll have to ask you move it where it should go @djungelorm

The only other catch is I have not had a chance to look at the client side code yet, they have to have the ability to pass numbers larger then 10 for this to work.

Thanks Diazo! I'll take a look when I, hopefully..., have some spare time! Been a bit swamped recently...

I don't think any client side changes would be needed. The <= 9 validation check is only done on the server.

Look like bugs There were lots of changes to these parts of KSPs API in 1.2.x. Have you tried the latest dev build? Available here: https://krpc.s3.amazonaws.com/deploy/master/742.1/krpc-0.3.7-110-g5267fdb.zip

Hi

The behaviour appears to be exactly the same after installing the latest dev build

[djungelorm]

@PeteWasEre I think those issues were due to the pre-release build being compiled for KSP 1.2.0.

I'm not seeing the bugs with the latest pre-release build and KSP 1.2.2. Available here: https://krpc.s3.amazonaws.com/deploy/master/756.1/krpc-0.3.7-122-ge9f70cf.zip

[djungelorm]

Version 0.3.7 has been released! Happy Christmas!

Here's a summary of the changes:

• Support for KSP 1.2.2
• Updated to use Protobuf 3.1.0
• Custom reference frames - more info here: https://krpc.github.io/krpc/tutorials/reference-frames.html#custom-reference-frames
• Support for the Action Groups Extended mod
• Various additions to the parts API: part highlighting, whether legs/wheels touch the ground and bounding boxes

A full changelog is available here: https://github.com/krpc/krpc/releases/tag/v0.3.7

Yep, retested with the 0.3.7 build and all appears ok! Thank you!

Can someone let me know what the 3 values for velocity represent, I try to find the values they relate to in game but I'm unable to

They are the x, y and z components of the velocity vector, in meters per second. This is worth a read: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/VelocityVector.html

Is the mod already comtech compatible or only with remotetech ?

[gamrix]

I would like to write a script to create some faux krpc python classes to use with the python typing support.

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/

I know that a similar thing is written for use in statically typed languages for this library. Could someone give me some pointers on where to look for that code, or any other general pointers?

Just wondering if there is any way to get KRPC working on Mac OS?

[Thertor]

Is it possible to get the state of the SAS (If it's on or off), and then print out a message if it is?

Should do, although I've not tested it, and don't have access to a Mac OS machine to test. There is nothing in the code for any of the clients or the server that's Windows/Linux specific, so should work.

Indeed it is! Here's an example using the python client:

import krpc
conn = krpc.connect()
control = conn.space_center.active_vessel.control
if control.sas:
    print 'SAS is enabled'
else:
    print 'SAS is disabled'

The documentation for the Control class containing this functionality is here: https://krpc.github.io/krpc/python/api/space-center/control.html

Is there functionality to add the Shell to RPM?  It would be the bee's knees to be able to see my print commands in IVA.
