Ippo Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Welcome back.Thanks! By the way, if I was as good at modding as I am bad at surfing, I'd be RoverDude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenpeach Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I have a bug to report(like in the good old days ).Basically, the mod cause a failure... that isn't a failure.(sound weird right?)The mod notify "a tank of is leaking" and show it in the flight log.Here the screenshot of the notification and the fligh log(the ligh log is nearly empty because I had to reload quicksave after missing the maneuver node by severals days(I used to use mechjeb for that but mechjeb doesn't want to stop time warping when a failure occur))Also, I have a suggestion for the mod: incremental failure.Basically, the more you wait for fixing a failure, the more spareparts you will need to fix it(because of the degradation the failure cause). Eventually, the failure could be unfixable, no matter how many spacepart you have, after all, sometime, things can't be fixed(especially if you wait too much before fixing it in the first place ) Edited August 7, 2014 by goldenpeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ippo Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Uhm. That's strange because we had that bug, and I fixed it.Do you still have the log file?Also, I'll have to try and solve the mechjeb issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenpeach Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I just had a new idea of failure: the SAS.Think of it, sometime, it can be quite difficult to fly without it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ippo Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Yes, I'll do that too one day. I want to cover ideally all the stock modules, I am just not working on it right now because it would be a lot more code to edit every time I change the API (and I am doing that a lot).Brakes are one failure that will be kinda mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ippo Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Quick dev update (it's been a while since the last one). I'm working on some more polish, especially code-wise. In all honesty, it's a much more difficult plugin that I thought, and it's starting to show. I'll have to do some serious work on it to make it reasonable when I'm sure it doesn't need any new addition.Anyway, the big difference you are going to see in the next update is a GUI Messages will be reported using the new messaging app (both failures and inspections), and in the space centre there will be a window to edit the settings. I just finished testing this new settings window and I was able to toggle the manual failures option successfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ippo Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Alpha 3.2 is out!This is pretty much just a polish update. There are no new features in it, but now I integrated my messages in the stock messaging app.Also, you can now edit the settings using a window that can be brought up in the KSC with a button in the stock toolbar (thank ferram4 for this).Cheers!

goldenpeach Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 err.I have yet anther bug to report(like in the old days )It's simple to describe but yet, too simple(as in: you won't get a lot of information)I had a leaking fuel during a manned Duna mission, but I couldn't open the GUI of the tank no matter how hard I tried.Here's a picture of the tank and of the verbal kerbal* in EVA.thank you auto corrector!

Ippo Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Uh, are you using the 64 bit version? Because that's a known issue with the 64 bit build.I really hope you are using that one because otherwise I really have no idea :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenpeach Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) ok, I have a good news and a bad news.Which one do you want to know the first? I am using the mac version I tried to boost the minimum maximum distance (by using the menu in the space centre): I passed from 1 to 10 and it worked!

I am using the mac version I tried to boost the minimum distance (by using the menu in the space centre): I passed from 1 to 10 and it worked!Oh, good ^^For the distance, well, I'm afraid that that's something I can't change. I think that KSP computes the distance from the centre of the part instead of the distance from its surface, and it shows when you have big parts like an orange tank.Thank you for pointing that out to me, it's good to know this happens!

Ippo Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 By the way, as far as I see it I am nearing scope completion, to use a familiar term about this game.With this, just as SQUAD, I mean that basically all the gameplay elements I want to add are almost there.Basically, the only part that is absolutely lacking is kerbal management (perks and training*), unless something new comes to mind. I am not a fan of the "quality" system many have talked about (i.e, spending more to have more reliable parts), and basically with perks the basic system will be there, and after that I will work on adding more and more failures and supporting more parts / mods.Unless someone has a particularly good idea, that is * By the way, one day I'm going to talk with the author of Kerbal Economy Enhancements to make sure that trained kerbals will be more expensive to maintain.

Shnyrik Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) I think, I've encountered a bug, or rather an incompatibility. When trying to recover my spaceplane in career mode I get "NaN" values as a cost of all parts, which are equipped with DangIt modules (like pod, tanks, engines etc.) This, of course, breakes the game and after that save needs editing in order to be used again.I've tried several times with and without the mod installed and may say for sure that DangIt is the reason. I have quite many other mods. So I've tried to uninstall them one by one, but for now I still have not succeded in determining which one of them has conflict with DangIt. I've still got logs, if that may be of any help. Edited August 16, 2014 by Shnyrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ippo Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Yes please, I am going to need to see the log. The absolute best would be opening an issue on github, if you don't mind.Can you please try to replicate this in a clean install with just my mod installed? I've never seen this happen (but I don't play career except for testing).Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnyrik Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 It seams I've found it. I think, incompatibility is between DangIt and SmartParts. I'll check it on a clean install with just those two mods and report to github. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnyrik Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Well, what can I say. I was wrong to blame SmartParts After tests on a clean install I can say for sure that conflict is between DangIt and Bahamuto Dynamics. Reported to github.

Ippo Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 I just uploaded a new update. Changelog for Alpha 3.3:Fixes: * the spares container now responds correctly to the distance settings; * changed the default max distance to 2m to allow interaction with parts up to 3.75m; * tank leaks now ignore empty resources.Improvements: * the temperature now makes parts age even when they are not in use; * the TemperatureMultiplier is now included in the computation of Lambda for all parts; * unmanned command pods don't get spare parts. Supports up to 7 crew members. * the atmospheric density is now used as LambdaMultiplier for control surfaces: this means they are less likely to fail at high altitudes.Also, testing that thing about the temperature was FUN: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I want a steampunk mod for KSP.I've already been weirding out my family by saying that things of particularly modular, internally incongruous, and/or hacked-together construction have a 'kerbalpunk' aesthetic.

Ippo Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Starting with the next update, you won't be able to repair a part unless its temperature is lower than 100°C (212°F).This comes from a very reliable source that sets the maximum operating temperature for a space suit to about 150°C, so I imagine that you could still operate somewhat safely up to 100°C. Maybe our Scientific Advisor would like to pitch in on this?Honestly I don't really think this case is going to come up very often, but you know, added realism* * over time I want to balance it more towards RSS rather than stock.
