They're all available on the github releases page: https://github.com/krpc/krpc/releases

Enabling that makes the logging more verbose in KSPs player.log file. These logs aren't viewable in game, but can been in that text log file. It can be found in the following location (which depends on your operating system):

• Windows: KSP_win\KSP_Data\output_log.txt (32bit) or KSP_win64\KSP_x64_Data\output_log.txt (64bit) or %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Squad\Kerbal Space Program\output_log.txt
• Mac OS X: Open Console, on the left side of the window there is a menu that says 'files'. Scroll down the list and find the Unity drop down, under Unity there will be Player.log ( Files>~/Library/Logs>Unity>Player.log )
• Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/Squad/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/Player.log

More details here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LogFiles.html

The debug logging is only really useful if you are designing your own client library

Thanks! I am working on my own cross-platform (Windows, Android, iOS and macOS) client library, so this will be helpful. I'm basing my implementation on this: https://blog.grijjy.com/2017/04/25/binary-serialization-with-google-protocol-buffers/

@ByteArts sounds cool! Feel free to ask if you have any trouble figuring out the communication protocol

I've been making a script that uses terminal_velocity value using vessel.flight(srf_frame).terminal_velocity (based on the Python version from the docs) and it seems that the wrong values for terminal velocity are being calculated

I had it displayed as a separate variable in the console and in the script as well and terminal velocity seems to drop from 7-10 km down to 90 m/s and then hovers around 100m/s until 12km

for kerbalx craft that's premade in the game, it went down to 70m/s at 9km and I'm not sure what's causing this

 

I'm trying to use terminal velocity / velocity ratio to calculate perfect ascent speed, but it's really bugging out all of my take offs right now

 

any suggestions?

Update: resolved. Sudo ignored mats lib after easy install of nose and tornado.

  I'm trying to get krpc to work but keep getting an error message when I pip install krpc. I don't understand why this happening. I installed pip and have followed the required steps. Here's my specs and the message:

I submitted a pull request on the krpcmj project a while ago (https://github.com/artwhaley/krpcmj/pull/4). It got merged, but the DLL in the repository was never updated.

In the meantime, you can download a copy of the DLL built with the patch from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6vbrugddsf5vknn/krpcmj.dll?dl=0

Also that log file you posted doesn't actually help. Confusingly there are two log files with KSP. The player.log probably has the illuminating error messages in it... See above for where to find it.

I've got the patch but keep getting this error when trying to use krpcmj.

EDIT2: The answer is that Python essentially passes everything by reference. This is yet another reason the inventors of it should be tried for crimes against humanity.

I'm having an issue where I think setting a variable to a stream "locks" it to the stream, instead of storing the value at that time. Is this correct and intended? How does one capture the momentary value?

spd_h = conn.add_stream(getattr, vessel.flight(ref_frame), 'horizontal_speed')
spd_h_prev = spd_h()
time.sleep(tick)
delta_spd = spd_h() - spd_h_prev

delta_spd returns 0.0. spd_h() works fine and returns correct values.

This works:

spd_h_prev = vessel.flight(ref_frame).horizontal_speed
time.sleep(tick)
delta_spd = vessel.flight(ref_frame).horizontal_speed - spd_h_prev

delta_spd returns a sensible number.

KSP 1.3.1, KRPC 0.4.4.

EDIT: In Python if that wasn't obvious. I'm thinking this is a Python problem.

Looking for a bit of help/direction with the last piece to this script I'm working on.  I'm attempting to use kRPC to automatically create maneuver nodes based on my current vessel's planetary target.  I believe I have it almost complete, except for calculating the final position of the maneuver node based off the ejection angle.  Here is what I have so far in python:

# used for vector math for finding ejection angle
def cross(u,v):
    return (

Hello, I'm having a hard time with exceptions thrown when I try to Undock() a docking port, I searched for scripts on the internet which should probably solve my problem, but I couldn't find any useful examples. Maybe I'm making a silly mistake but I can't figure it out what exactly is. =(

I'm looping foreach docking port attached to my Vessel, and if it is docked to something, I want to Undock() it, but I keep getting an error message. Can you guys help me?

foreach (DockingPort dockPort in vessel.Get().Parts.DockingPorts) { if (...)...

spaceCenter.ActiveVessel = dockPort.Undock();

I had a look at the code for computing terminal velocity, and compared it to how Kerbal Engineer Redux works and they are very different. It's possible that the terminal velocity calculation in kRPC is just totally wrong - and there are no comments in the code explaining what it's doing. I might just recode it to use the same math as KER.

Must be a bug in krpcmj. It was coded for a much older version of KSP, so maybe something changed in the KSP API that breaks it.

KSP 1.3.1, KRPC 0.4.4.

EDIT: In Python if that wasn't obvious. I'm thinking this is a Python problem.

Are you sure its not just that sph_h() is always returning zero? It depends on ref_frame. If the reference frame moves with the vessel, then the horizontal speed will always be zero, and so will delta_spd. If this is the case, try with ref_frame = vessel.orbit.body.reference_frame

sph_h() is returning floating point values, which will be passed by value in python, so I don't think that's the issue here? Python only passes objects by reference, not simple types like float and int.

I think this is a build issue with the current release of kRPC. This has affected a few other things too (including issue 481 and issue 483). Hopefully this will magically fix itself in the next release (which I plan to do sometime this week). In the meantime you could also try this pre-release to see if it fixes the build issue: https://krpc.s3.amazonaws.com/deploy/master/1196.1/krpc-0.4.7-22-g09e0c1c.zip

[djungelorm]

v0.4.7 has been released - just a few bug fixes again this time, as the spare time I can spend on this has been rather limited of late...

The full changelog is available here: https://github.com/krpc/krpc/releases/tag/v0.4.7

kRPC v0.4.8 has been released!

The main new addition is that a lot of functionality is now accessible not just from the flight scene, but from other game scenes too! The documentation website also includes a note by every function indicating which scene(s) it is available in.

Support for KSP 1.5.1 and Infernal Robotics NEXT is also included in this release. The "NameTag" mod that allowed name tags to be shared between kRPC and kOS has also now been merged into kRPC, so the separate mod is no longer required.

A full change log is available here

We've been discussing on the Discord that the autopilot appears to be having problems with roll. I think it's a PID-tuning problem in KRPC.

The behavior it exhibits is that it will try to roll hard left, and keep rotating while trying to hold the pitch and heading. If you override with manual steering and get it close, then let go, it will occasionally roll right, and when it crosses through the correct roll, it will start the hard left roll again.

This code SHOULD work for flying a plane (KSP 1.5.1, KRPC 0.4.8):

import krpc
import time
conn = krpc.connect(name='ap')
vessel = conn.space_center.active_vessel
ap = vessel.auto_pilot

ref_frame = vessel.surface_velocity_reference_frame

# I also tried this, which i think is the same as above.
#ref_frame = conn.space_center.ReferenceFrame.create_hybrid (
#    position=vessel.orbit.body.reference_frame,
#    rotation=vessel.surface_reference_frame )

ap.reference_frame = ref_frame
ap.attenuation_angle = (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
ap.target_heading = 90.0
ap.target_pitch = 5.0
ap.target_roll = 0.0
ap.engage()
i = 0
while (True):
    ap.target_heading = 90.0
    ap.target_pitch = 5.0
    ap.target_roll = 0.0
    ap.engage()
    print("tick" + str(i))
    time.sleep(1.0)
    i += 1

I am a newbie to KRPC, but I was wondering if there was a mechanism for getting server/game time stamps for the state of a variable, such as the vessel’s velocity vector. Say I registered a stream for velocity, and I query the stream at client time t0 and then slightly later at time t1. Is there a way to know the sever/simulation side elapsed time between the 2 observations?

I would think just having client side t0 and t1 and thus client side elapsed time (delta t) wouldn’t be nearly as accurate. Say for use in a client side PID algorithm, for control of some Kerbal system over KRPC.

 

Sorry if this is not the right place to be asking such a thing.

Thanks, 

Ender

You could query or stream SpaceCenter.UT or the active vessel's vessel.MET at the same time to get a measurement of game time elapsed?

Hi good afternoon.
have now this krpc with the arduino mega2560
driven. I can do the control with the keypad throttle +- and stage.
this is just a test. you can move much more with the mega2560.
on the mega2560 I have serial2 usb-ttl) to the pc (python-krpc) and the data output (data_velo, 
data_alti, data_apoa) I do about the serial port of the mega2560 with what you previously 
synonymous program transmits.
the data can be later synonymous to a lcd display output, which is connected to the mega2560.

the throttle and stage control also works with one
bluetooth module hc-05 at the mega2560 and a table. I wrote program android with B4A.

greeting

I’m getting an exception inside SpaceCenter.LaunchVessel.  Details here: https://github.com/krpc/krpc/issues/516

It seems like this is a simple null check, so I figured I could probably fix it myself. But I’m having trouble compiling krpc on windows.  I get the following error:

bazel-out/x64_windows-fastbuild/genfiles/server/KRPC.run_shell_0.sh: line 2: mcs: command not found

I added mono/lib/mono-4.5 to the path, and I can type “mcs” at the command prompt and it is found, so I don’t know why bash can’t find it.

Hi guys.  Is it possible to access stage locking (Alt-L) through krpc?

Dean.

[Boyanski]

The tutorials are so unintuitive... How do you add a C# client??

[Boyanski]

No clear way of describing what and how to do.

Not currently. Added a github issue to get this added here: https://github.com/krpc/krpc/issues/541

Sorry for rude comment. I also tried to use an Arduino, but I only got as far as communicating with the server. I changed the library names in "Calling remote procedures" code but it doesn't work?

No worries. Can you be more specific as to what doesn't work? Maybe post the code you are trying to use and what (if any) error messages you are seeing?

We also have a reasonably active discord group, might be better asking questions on there as you might get a more timely response  https://discord.gg/bXuaTrj
