What's wrong with it? Can you provide your log and SA version?

Per the log it, loads, but doesn't do anything in the game, by which I mean no alerts. I have the latest version for .90. I'll PM you a link to my log.

thanks,

Soifua

is the new version backwards compatible with .25? I'm waiting a while for the mods i use to update to .90 before switching, and i just found this again today.

edit; wow i'm silly, i should have simply tried it before bothering anyone

I'm afraid the EPL/Hangar bug has returned in 0.90.

Both v1.8.2 and v1.8.3 have the issue:


NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Found a bug.

If you select "use Blizzy's toolbar" the icon in the app launcher does not disappear. If you then uncheck to use the toolbar it creates ANOTHER icon in the app launcher (so there are then two). Every time to check and uncheck to use Blizzy's toolbar this happens, which (as you may have guessed) can really bug out the stock app launcher.

Apparently I un-fixed it in 1.8.2 by using the wrong branch. Sorry! (Re-)Fixed in 1.8.4

Gah. I wonder how long this bug has been in there. Fixed in new version

I've noticed several times that the "EVA" button goes away when it shouldn't. Frequently this is when I'm landed:

The EVA button shows up.

I click it, and my guy goes EVA on the ladder (so is "flying over" wherever he is). The EVA button disappears.

I right click him (still on the ladder with no EVA button) and take the 100% available science. I store it in the pod.

I let go of the ladder, my guy falls to the ground, and STILL no EVA button.

I right click him, take the 100% available science, get back in the ship and recover or take off (depending).

Hmmm ... I can't think of why that would be. Any chance you have a save that can replicate that? I'll add some more debugging options to the next version to help track things like this down.

Edit: Are there any exceptions in the log (Alt+F2)? If something broke while exiting the vessel, that could explain this behaviour. If it happens again, try switching to the vessel and then back to the Kerbal. If that makes it start working again, get me the output_log and it should be easy to track down ;)

I've just started a new career mode, and on first mission, I launched myself into the ocean. I was able to take a surface sample while on EVA, on my first mission. I understand that Surface Samples aren't unlocked until later in the building upgrade tree, so I would expect that Science Alert respects those updates. But I can keep myself honest until then. Maybe.

Will do. Sadly I didn't really think to report it until I was editing the video afterward and by then it'd been a while. It happened a couple times though so I think it should happen again. I'll check that log and try switching back and forth. And I'll grab the output_log as well.

So I'm getting a pretty serious bug that only manifests itself when interacting with ScienceAlert, but I have 9 other mods so I'm not sure if it's a ScienceAlert issue or not. I'll attach an excerpt of my log and the list of mods I use.

When I go to a craft that I previously landed on the Mun (before installing ScienceAlert), the toolbar button pops up and everything appears normal. But if I click crew report in the ScienceAlert menu, I get a message that "that can't be done right now", the ship bugs out and the log throws NaN errors. The ship appears to be floating and if I tell a Kerbal to EVA the game says that kerbal bailed. This does not happen if I do a crew report the KSP way by right-clicking the craft.

Additionally, on a less game breaking but still ScienceAlert breaking side of things, the stock toolbar icon for ScienceAlert disappears if I switch crafts and I can't get it back unless I restart the game.

It should. I wasn't able to reproduce your result with SA 1.8.4. Did you activate the surface sample through the ScienceAlert UI or through the kerbal?

When I go to a craft that I previously landed on the Mun (before installing ScienceAlert), the toolbar button pops up and everything appears normal. But if I click crew report in the ScienceAlert menu, I get a message that "that can't be done right now", the ship bugs out and the log throws NaN errors.

...

Additionally, on a less game breaking but still ScienceAlert breaking side of things, the stock toolbar icon for ScienceAlert disappears if I switch crafts and I can't get it back unless I restart the game.

The exception you're seeing comes from having duplicate science experiment ids. Something really funny is going on in your save. ScienceAlert should fail almost immediately with an exception if that is in your log. Can I see the whole thing?

Yup, I'm starting to think it might be unrelated save file corruption. Crap, I was really enjoying a new 0.90 career (but at least it's not an issue for you!).

Here's a log where pretty much the only thing I did was load my game, go to my landed craft, and then exited: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5933200/KSP.log

Well, if it's a duplicate experiment id then all saves will be affected. I keep meaning to add a check against this kind of error since it's cropped up a few times in the past.

There are still some inconsistencies in your log, though. I see exceptions being thrown before ScienceAlert has begun initializing, and then it somehow manages to get set up when I would expect a KeyNotFound to crash it almost immediately. Does everything in your save work without ScienceAlert installed? I would expect you to have some problems with running experiments in particular

I experienced a bug with the 1.8.4 or what ever the lastest was, when I do a science report the report window never popsup and I can't decide whether to reset or keep the data, I have to transmit manually using an antenna or dish. 0.90, using remotetech also, and chatterer.

my mods list is huge at this point but with 1.8.2 it worked well, appeared when I started new campaign save. any ideas? quite anoying it is

That's likely the issue, as I'm using the latest from CKAN, which is 1.8rc2. I'll download latest and check. It was through the Science Alert UI.
