Hello! I've been using Science Alert in my stream and I've been making custom icons for all of my installed toolbar plugins in an attempt to get them all to match styles, however ScienceAlert doesn't use a standard image file. What I was hoping for was to create a gif of two images (In the shape of the R&D icon) that flashes twice a second.

Idle (example):

clZlx4F.png

When science is available (example):

UaSQCa7.gif

Would it be difficult to add this? The time it takes to flash is 300 milliseconds.

Here are the .dds images (The images above are just preview with a fake gray backdrop):

I'm having an issue whereby I'm not getting any science alerts even when there's experiments available. I've made sure all the thresholds are low enough for them to trigger and all the available experiments are enabled, however still no alerts.

Installed via CKAN, here's my current list of installed mods:

I've also had a look at the Alt+F2 output and there's nothing there which I could find that would suggest that ScienceAlert is having any problems.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

What is your filter method set to? I'd like a look at the log as well. No experiments at all are triggering alerts?

Do you have SCANsat integration enabled? What is your filter method set to?

Hello! I've been using Science Alert in my stream and I've been custom icons for all of my installed toolbar plugins in an attempt to get them all to match styles, however ScienceAlert doesn't use a standard image file.

Sure! That whole section needs to be rewritten but in the meantime if you can give me a 24x24 and 38x38 version (png or dds), I'll just swap the current sprite sheet file as a quick fix for you. Sorry for the delayed response by the way, it seems the forum subscription feature does not notify me half the time

Filter method is set to 'Not Maxed', I also changed the threshold to 0.01 science. It's also done 'By Experiment' in the top options of the config menu.

No experiments that I've come across are triggered, so I assume it's universally an issue. How do I get a copy of the log for you?

EDIT: Also SCANsat integration is enabled.

Some steps to get the log based on your OS can be found here. Have you scanned the planet? ScienceAlert won't trigger alerts for experiment results that depend on biome if you haven't scanned your current location for biome info through SCANsat, if you have that option enabled. Try flipping it off for a moment. If that's not the issue then something deeper is going on since everything else sounds correct

Ah that was the issue! I didn't realize that with SCANsat integration it didn't trigger unless you'd scanned your current location.

Thank you so much for pointing that out, trying to do all the experiments without your plugin was proving to be a tiring endeavor.

Hope anyone else having similar/same issues also sees this, been bugging me for ages. Thanks a lot Reeper!

Wow! As a heads up though, I'm planning on putting my career save on hold until 1.1 drops and I would hate to ask for you to add this again... would it be better if you don't bother adding my textures in right now and I ask again after 1.1 arrives? - My subscription panel bugs out all the time too btw.

what is wrong with stop warp on discovery? It's driving me mad! The mod is not stopping warp when I get over an area I have not researched yet. I have global warp on and I also explicitly set stop warp on discovery for eva and I just merrily jip right over biomes without stopping. WTH is wrong?

yeah it was bothering me also, problem is SCANsat integration in setting (other tab for settings). It means it wont stop until you multispectral scan the planet for biomes, turn that option off and it will work.

Very helpful mod, except for one thing... I'd really like it to filter out experiments which you already have a copy of in your command pod, so you can set it to "not maxed" and not have experiments that you can't actually usefully do again till your next trip keep alerting you.

I could add an option to ignore reports already onboard, sure. Is the minimum threshold not sufficient? Could you define "can't actually usefully do again"? SA takes your settings extremely literally to avoid surprises and to avoid dealing with various what-ifs that might happen to the results afterwards.

How long did you test it for? If you just loaded a game and watched it, it might be creeping up because ScienceAlert is creating a special version of the biome map for that planet which takes 10 - 40 seconds and happens every time you change SoI. Are there any exceptions or other log messages? Other than the biome map, there shouldn't be any allocations anywhere near that large and definitely not continuously for multiple minutes.

I'll look into it if you have any more details

Every time I launched into low K-orbit and used time compression the RAM usage would increase steadily from about 2.5 Gig to when it crashed at 3.8 or thereabouts. I would get constant sound and visual alerts of the available EVA experiments I hadn't done yet as my ship changed biomes along its orbit. I would just watch the mem-meter jump 5-10 mb every few seconds. Removed the mod and it stopped.

Here's a list of the other mods I'm running. Could perhaps be a conflict with one of them.
