Stand Alone Map View - Multi monitor KSP [1.4.x][Plugin]

IskaNL · November 2, 2014

Checked it with both 32 and 64 bit. I also have the curious problem that my mouse buttons switch after leaving the main KSP window, so maybe it's related to that. I'll let you know

Edit: currently running 32 bit without improvement. When I focus on a vessel, the client changes to its position and even displays MechJeb screens correctly. However, it doesnt seem to process any input at all since neither keyboard nor mouse seems to have any response :/

I can't seem to be able to set it lol, installed the server data on the computer and the client data on the other computer. They will never sync at all, I've tried using the local ip's and the hostnames too.

Could someone tell me what I'm missing? A quickstart guide for the Lan view would be quite handy in the op post

Hmm, I'm not sure what is going on. If you disable the mod (delete the samv_server and samv_client folders from game data) and open two instances of ksp, can you interact with both?

I can't seem to be able to set it lol, installed the server data on the computer and the client data on the imac I have to the left, run the game on both but they will never sync at all, I've tried using the local ip's and the hostnames too.

Quick guide to LAN setup:

Copy your ksp directory to the other machine.
Put the samv_server folder in GameData on one of them.
Put the samv_client folder in GameData on the other.
Start ksp on the server. On the main menu, click the samv button and enter the ip address of the client. Leave the port settings alone.
Start ksp on the client. On the main menu, click the samv button and enter the ip address of the server. Leave the port setting alone.
Start the game on the server.
The client should sync up. Once it does, click "start map view"

If that doesn't work, then it could be firewall or connectivity issues, or a bug I don't know about. Post your KSP logs from both the client and server and I'll take a look.

Oh nevermind, I just got it working was my fault, didn't know that to start the map view I had to actually be on a vesell.

Thanks!

If anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated. For some reason when I start up both instances of KSP they both work up until the point that the map view window tries to load a vessel. I get this error: "vessel was not loaded because it had the following parts missing" and then lists every part on the ship. I'm running stock KSP so I am not sure what the issue is.

Unit327 · December 6, 2014

I'm not sure why you'd be getting that on stock, but sounds possibly like copying the game directory failed somehow and the stock parts are missing from the client install. Try deleting the whole client game folder and copying it again. If that doesn't work, post the game logs and I'll take a look.

I just tried using this with the beta. Everything launches and sync correctly, but when I launch a ship, the map mode starts showing a different craft (actually some debris in orbit), and I can't get it to switch over to the craft I'm controlling. Anyone else have this same problem?

Unit327 · January 12, 2015

I've been really busy and haven't yet run the beta to make sure it works. Does switching active vessels back and forth work around the problem?

starchitect · January 21, 2015

I've just tried this on 0.90 and experienced the same problem. When a new vessel is launched the map view focuses on debris of the newly launched vessel. Switching active vessels doesn't seem to make a difference.

For the love of god, please update this mod. It is one of the best things that were ever created for KSP

I would even pay for a frequently-updated version if i had to.

ilo · April 13, 2015

if @unit327 doesn't object, I'd kindly try to help cleaning the issue list and keeping his good work updated.

Unit327 · April 28, 2015

That would be awesome!

Sorry for the late reply but I have been overseas for a while. I'll help where I can with answering any questions. I'll pm you my email address, and depending on your time zone, irc / xmpp.

Lunchboxicus · April 28, 2015

Good luck with the update of this, and thank you so much for doing it!

1.0 Broke mine, the map won't sync for me now.

ManlyPotatoe · May 2, 2015

Would it be possible to use this mod to play KSP from separate views of the one ship? As in, having 2 people playing the game from a different monitor, controlling different parts of the mission such as a Landing Pilot and a command module pilot?

I am hoping to simulate an Apollo Mission with two of my friends, and need to be able to control the same ship from different views.

Thank you.

Unit327 · May 3, 2015

No, at best it only let's you have one person play as "mission controller". You might want to look into the multiplayer mods, if they are still going.

Hey !

I would like to try it but it never sync...

I always have "waiting for server sync"

I'm on a windows 8 64-bits

I have ksp on steam. My client and my server are in C:/Programs Files/Steam/steamApps/common/, and the client is named Kerbal Space Program - Copie

I have stand alone map viw settings on each ksp, but i don't know why it doesn't work... i tried to put localhost, 127.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, 192.168.1.12... it disabled my firewall, but nothing, can someone help me please ?

Seorl · July 4, 2015

Same thing here. Client just waiting for server sync. Both instances are running on single computer, Windows 7 x64, KSP v1.0.4.861.

ThereIGo · September 6, 2015

Can launch both instances however the one for the map just reads "Waiting for server sync" no matter what I do, am I missing something?

Jerec81 · October 22, 2015

IS it possible to use DMP with this?

Keith Young · November 21, 2015

Thanks for updating this!

Will get this in soon. Building a simulator and I needed this badly.

Zekario · November 27, 2015

Does this only work on the same computer? Could someone else with KSP connect to someone else with this mod?

I found this on CKAN and I think it is really interesting.

It works on two different computers as well. Theoretically it should work across the internet as long as you forward the correct ports on your router, but I haven't tested that yet.
