DarkMultiPlayer 0.3.8.0 [KSP 1.12.0]

[Guest]

@Dagger I would think it would be something like this:

Vector3 Approach3d(Vector3 vecGoal, Vector3 vecCurrent, float deltaStep)
{
	Vector3 vecInterpolated;
	vecInterpolated.x = Approach(vecGoal.x, vecCurrent.x, deltaStep);
	vecInterpolated.y = Approach(vecGoal.y, vecCurrent.y, deltaStep);
	vecInterpolated.z = Approach(vecGoal.z, vecCurrent.z, deltaStep);

	return vecInterpolated;
}

float Approach(float flGoal, float flCurrent, float deltaStep)
{
	float flDifference = flGoal - flCurrent;

	if (flDifference > deltaStep)
	{
		return flCurrent + deltaStep;
	}
	if (flDifference < -deltaStep)
	{
		return flCurrent - deltaStep;
	}
	return flGoal;
}

Where vecGoal is your target location in 3d space, vecCurrent is your current location in 3d space and deltaStep is how far you can move each frame.

You just call Approach3d and use it's return value to set the vessel's new location each frame until you get a new location to go to from the server.

But I have no idea what the deltaStep should be set too because I don't know what 3d unit KSP uses. So you'll have to experiment.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Caylis for the suggestion!

I've been preparing the framework for interpolating positions today but @jrodriguez gave me a new idea. Instead of interpolate the movement of the vessel based on position updates, get input updates and apply the input yaw,roll,throttle,etc to the client vessel, probably we would still need some kind of "security position interpolation" in case something bad happens but I'm investigating both possibilities.

I'm a bit lost in the KSP and Unity API so it might take some time.

Anything that can provide more predictable outcomes when players are maneuvering in close proximity gets my vote... as is, DMP mostly consists of 'hold still while I do this to you'

[EBOSHI]

While KSP is being updated. We have a time to play Career Mode or something like that alone. And we have a time to be anxious about whether or not we can multi-play on the new version.
Multi-playing of KSP is the best game among games I have ever seen.

Hey All,

 

Running DMP 0.2.3.1, ksp 1.1.3.1289..

I seem to have a issue with saving kerbal contracts. Every time a contract is taken out to save a kerbal in orbit, the poor bugger never spawns so makes it impossible to recover him/her.

Checked integrity and other clients are having the same issue, checked the DMP log and i cant see anything that would be stoping or cleaning the object out.

Any ideas ?

 

Thanks

Confirming we've had the same issue.  Maybe it's because Kerbals (and tourists?) are a shared resource whereas contracts are not... but I really don't know how it works, tbh.

Hi Guys, still a long way to go but interpolations are finished (at least for ground movement) and is much more smooth.

Here you can see a small video I've done about it: https://youtu.be/_5kSkvrIsHk

Perhaps someone can adapt the code to DMP and use it while I finish my fork.

Hi Mr. developer, I'm a player playing with DMP server and client.
Your work seems so great. but I'm sorry about me having no Modding skill at all. So I can't understand "adapt the code to DMP". Can it be done by amateur?
There is nothing to do but I shared it on Twitter. If you need a helping ant's hand, we do our bit. 

I hope you good luck!

Unfortunately DMP is not easy to modify, the code has many hacks and it's quite outdated so you need to have some experience.
Hopefully I will finish my fork this month

Okay. I keep on expecting your future activity. but don't overtire yourself.

Can someone tell me if it is possible to play the 1.2 game version with the 1.1.3 version of DMP ?

If you said about DMP, it is adapted to only 1.1.3. And if it about DMP fork, below.

Although I'm in ignorance of production version, at least he seems to be experimenting with 1.2.
if you see the above video that was posted by @Dagger, you can confirm build-number at bottom-left of windows.

@EBOSHI

thanks for the information

Thanks for the offer @moritz31!

If you want you can compile the code with VS2015 and start digging around. If you feel confortable and understand what's going on we can speak and distribute the tasks.

Right now the fork is compatible with latest 1.2

I've done the bare minimum (merged whatever rocky did, and then fixed a few compile errors for the unstable branch to 1.2), but it has had 0 testing, and KSP is now insanely crashy on linux so I cannot test it at all, so I highly recommend using forks. This might kick your dog and kill your cat, but the build is on my build server in my sig (unstable branch)

 

I've also been working quite a lot lately, and have moved onto another game so I've not had much time for DMP. When I do get some time I'll let anyone who has forked pick my brain for a bit, but I apologize in advance for the mess that is DMPClient

You shouldn't apologize, without DMP I wouldn't even know from where to start

I have spent lots of time on DMP with my friends. And it have being express the potential of KSP. 
We thank you and your activities! ...Well, although we had been often confused by operations of it.

How do i create a server? and do i have to port forward?

If you talk about the DMP0.2.3.1 for KSP1.1.3, you should just download it, unzip it, execute it, and open a port.

And you can see the DMP official site https://d-mp.org/.

define execute and what you mean by unzip it

Google is your friend ... if you Google it the information will come

It would be much easier for you to take a look at the DMP website listed in the post above you as well as look up what those terms mean and perhaps read the following as it may help you understand how to install a mod

well i didnt want to go trough the trouble finding the right definitions but thx for your help

Here is an idea:

What if we packaged vessels together and created a single rigid body for each vessel upon launch and disabled everything else (except the mesh renderers and collision meshes for the rest). Then we could only send updates on the location of just that body instead of all the parts separately. We could still interpolate and crudely calculate physics based on some drag value and mass, but we'd only need to approximate between updates. If a collision occurs all we do is enable the components and remove them from being parented to unified body.

I've also thought over it and I almost approve of your idea. But I have no idea whether MOD can do that or not.
Certainly, DMP have the trouble with all player's individually calculation of physics. So the algorithm of who calculate which vessel should be needed. And it must allot a portion of the calculation of the vessel that isn't operated likes satellites and space station each.

hey dagger, is there a centralized way of changing the postbuild event paths ?
