[0.24.2] Kerbal Crew Transfer - v0.5 released, 0.24 support and Crew Swapping

[HeadHunter67]

Thanks for the quick fix to this! CLS isn't going to affect my existing designs, is it? I have not designed previous stations with CLS in mind and I don't want to discover that astronauts cannot go from point A to B because there's something in the way that CLS says is impassable. I just want the crew transfer functionality of Manifest, without all the unneeded overhead.

PLEASE PLEASE add a way to remove crew from the the crew list or 'fire' them if you like. I actually agree with hunter so please don't ever make CLS a requirement

[HeadHunter67]

Well, it seems as if the CLS .dll doesn't impede passage through my existing station, so it's all good. It looks like the plugin is working nicely and doing exactly what I needed it to do.

I am not sure what joed intended, but just to explain what the CLS dlls are all about:

• CLSInterfaces.dll provides the bit that tells other mods (such as Kerbal Crew Transfer) how to use CLS if it is installed.
  
• ConnectedLivingSpace.dll provides the actual CLS functionality.
  

So some mods (such as ShipManifest, and also by the looks of it Kerbal Crew Transfer) will need CLSInterfaces.dll, but will only actually make use of CLS if ConnectedLivingSpace.dll is installed.

I hope joed will be along to clarify this soon.

[HeadHunter67]

OK, that's clearer to me now, thanks. I just wanted to be sure I could use it with my existing craft (which were not designed with a mind toward what modules would be passable) and it seems to work fine. Thank you!

[Fraz86]

CLS will affect existing craft, but you could either:

1. Don't install CLS, or

2. Install CLS and edit the CLS config files to make modules passable as necessary for the design of your station.

That's exactly right, and I've clarified it (I hope), in the OP.

PLEASE PLEASE add a way to remove crew from the the crew list or 'fire' them if you like.

I'll have to say "please don't" do that. The beauty of this mod is its simple elegance. If you start adding inconsequential features, it just turns into another overbloated "do everything" mod.

[longbyte1]

There should be a prompt as to where the crew should be transferred such as "click on the capsule you want Jebediah Kerman to be transferred to."

[Albert VDS]

This is how it should be in stock KSP. Good job.

[RoboRay]

There should be a prompt as to where the crew should be transferred such as "click on the capsule you want Jebediah Kerman to be transferred to."

That would be redundant. You've already clicked on both the "to" and "from" capsules to open the menus.

[Fraz86]

joed_,

Could you make it such that the "Transfer [name]" button doesn't appear on the context menu unless two parts are selected, similar to how the "In" and "Out" buttons don't show up with a single part selected? I like to keep the context menu clutter to a minimum.

[HeadHunter67]

I think that's a very good idea, if possible.

[cantab]

This looks interesting. Crew Manifest works but it felt a little klunky, having the transfers on the normal right-click menu is more straightforward.

[maxrsp]

I also want to say thanks for this simple, elegant mod. Unlike some people, I appreciate the ability to pick the specific functionality I want to use, not be forced into using a bloat-ware mod with 58 obscure functions and a handful of other dependency mods...

Well done!

[Biff Space]

Really nice mod - just does the one thing it's meant to. Nice and simple.

This would be good.

I didnt mean a way to remove crew from a vessel i meant a way to get crew out of the actual crew list that you have before you launch, its only very small yet good feature

[Highlad]

Cool mod. nice and simple, I love it!

If I could suggest something: Perhaps you could do something like this but with science experiments? to save us having to EVA whenever we want to transfer a science experiment to a pod.

I agree, a single menu option that lets you kick out all the kerbals in that part when you're still in the launchpad would fix my biggest peeve with trying to launch robot taxis to my station.

[Bomoo]

Thanks for this. I was never a fan of the Crew Manifest UI and general presentation. +1 for subtle integration to stock UI.

[Superfluous J]

Great mod! This is exactly what I wanted Crew Manifest to be. This and GoodSpeed have together really cleaned up my UI.

Agree here as well. I hate waiting for a multi-hundred-part behemoth to load and then see Jeb's smiling face staring back at me. Half the time, I just EVA him and let the exhaust teach him a lesson. Even if I'm halfway up into the atmosphere.

[montyben101]

That would be good as well but what i meant is to be able to actually get rid of crew from the Astronaut Complex so that i don't have to manually do it and risk corrupting my save(yes that did happen once)

I have a bug to report. This mod doesn't correctly trigger onVesselChange event to update textures for TextureReplacer. It should be triggered AFTER portrait update, not 0.25 s before. Patch:

downloaded the mod from curse, site must be cursed I cannot get it to work tried several times on my space station to move kerbals from cupolas to service modules, and tried moving crew on a space ship from hitchhiker pods to command pods, and from other command pods.

It doesn't seem to work,
