Working in 1.2.2?

Why don't you read 2 posts above where you asked the question?

The video shows him using the mod, but not demonstrating what the toolbar buttons should be doing.

Did my videos help?

They will.

I just tried it, worked for me, so I think I need some more information.

Can you detail the timeline, or, better yet, make a video?  I'm sure that I'm not doing the the same as you , and it's probably affecting the outcome.

This time it happened when going back to main craft. Here's the video:

That will be helpful, thanks

How do you "arm FMRS??????"

I installed it exactly as per the instructions but can't seem to bring up the FMRS window. Please help!

Thanks.

What is your desktop size?  I'm trying to verify what I'm reading in the log file.

Also, can you please try to duplicate this with a minimal install?  Just KSP, FMRS, and ModuleManager

I'm seeing some indications in the log file that you have one or more older mods installed, would like to eliminate the possibility of a mod conflict.

Specifically, there are some references to KSPUtil, which shouldn't be there in a clean 1.2.2 install.

One think I noticed is that on my test, I have a slightly later version of thee KSPSteamCtrlr than you do.

 

[linuxgurugamer]

Interesting.  I did a clean install, and now I'm getting it to crash.

Can you do one more test?  I noticed that you put some Kerbals into the crew cabin, try the launch without doing that at all, just the one kerbal in the command pod

I get a couple KSPUtil errors in my clean install of 1.2.2

Interesting, but......

I can reliably reproduce the crash.  It seems to be a a timing issue, the more mods I have installed, the more stable it is.  The crash occurs when it's the only installed mod

I also know which line it is, but that doesn't seem to help me, everything looks good so far, I haven't yet figured out what's missing

I'll do what I can, but this may take a while

For anyone interested, the  line is:

FlightDriver.StartAndFocusVessel(loadgame, load_vessel);

 

[Jebs_SY]

Well, Malah just sorted out a problem, where using QuickSTART to directly go to a flying vessel removed all contracts from the game:

@Liquid5n0w & @Jebs_SY Thanks for yours reports, I've found the error. I've seen that QuickGoTo hadn't this issue, but it also has a go to last vessel ... both mods use the same function but QuickGoTo reloads the savegame file and QuickStart used the savegame already loaded and KSP seems to don't like that

I know this is different, but maybe it is a similar direction and can help debugging?

Status update:

I'm pretty sure I've identified the problem, and it's inherent in the way the mod was written:

The Save/Load system in KSP is rather delicate, and is being abused rather badly by this mod.  What seems to be happening is that the mod does a save, and then immediately does a load.  The problem is that it loads the new file before the old one is done saving.  This is why it works better when there are more mods installed, because they are artificially adding a delay between the save and the load. 

This is going to take a few days to sort out

[kendoka15]

I don't know if you still need this information but:

Same crash with one kerbal. As to my desktop size, my main monitor is 1440p and my two others are 1080p. What's a bit weird is I only have FMRS and MM installed, nothing else.

I love that last part where you think it can get sorted out.  I've always loved the idea behind this mod, its just never worked great when I've tried it out. 

[linuxgurugamer]

Ok.  I have a solution, but need to test it on a larger save.

Can someone post a large save file, from  a stock game?  One which is over a meg in size would be ideal, I would like some which are also smaller, say, 300-500k in size.

Thanks

[linuxgurugamer]

And the answer is: 

There needs to be about a 2/3 second delay inserted before doing the load.  I've run into this before, and just came across some code in FMRS which does this for jumping to the Space Center and Tracking Station, but doesn't have it for loading a save.  My fix does that.

And, I also recalled running into this in another mod as well (one which I wrote myself :-)    )

I still would like to test this with some contributed saves

[kendoka15]

Do you want just the persistent file or the whole folder? (I only have saves full of mods though)

Edited February 25, 2017 by kendoka15

[linuxgurugamer]

Whole folder, if possible

[linuxgurugamer]

So far, it looks good, so here is another beta to download and try out:

How can we deactivate the Debug Window? I don't manage to clean it from my hud.

You got me curious.  If I pull everything out of my game data directory but Squad, I do get a couple KSPUtil errors on loading.   I went to my steam folder, deleted everything and refreshed the game cache to download a new copy.  And bam, no errors on load....  Best I can say is if you are working with a patched copy of the game then there must be something somewhere that didn't get removed properly with the update.  

[kendoka15]

So far so good on the new build, will test some more

Right now, you can't.  There is still a lot to do on this mod, mainly related to the window.  I'm still identifying the functionality of the toolbar button in different scenes, and want to make it more user-friendly.

and that is where it showed up the most.  The more mods installed, the less chance of the crash

Could that be because the mods created the required delay?

Exactly!
